The first-ever pirate in One Piece, Joy Boy, is responsible for a lot of major occurrences in the series. From hiding the One Piece treasure to indirectly saving the Straw Hat Pirates during the Egghead Island arc, Joy Boy holds a lot of importance, and Eiichiro Oda is going to soon focus on his character and reveal more details about him.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Joy Boy’s character is his name. According to the narrative, Joy Boy’s real name was something else, and he was just given this name as a title. However, his real name is yet to be revealed in One Piece, and fans have been waiting for it for the longest time.

While fans wait, a One Piece theory has dropped a major hint about how Oda has already foreshadowed Joy Boy’s real name. The theory also explains how his name is connected to Noah, the enormous ship that was created during the Void Century, and will help the Fish-Men Island in a major way.

The Real Intention Behind Joy Boy’s Real Name

Incidentally, this name was first given to the One Piece character, who was the first pirate sailing through the seas. He was extremely powerful and was loved by almost everyone who met him, just like Luffy. This revelation about Joy Boy’s name really brought a big change to the One Piece narrative.

While it has not been exclusively established in the narrative, there is a chance that Eiichiro Oda will soon put an emphasis on Joy Boy’s character and the real story behind it. That’s why his real name and his identity will be revealed to the One Piece world and the fans of the series.

One Piece Theory Explains Joy Boy’s Real Name

According to a One Piece theory posted by @Jays1Dwn on X, Joy Boy’s real name was Adam, and his actual dream was to unite the people in the One Piece world. The theory also states that Adam met the first Mermaid Princess from Fish-Men Island, who might have been named Eve. These names originate from the Tree of Adam and the Tree of Eve in One Piece.

While there are a lot of plotholes in the theory, it actually explains a lot of things regarding Joy Boy and the multiple aspects revolving around his character, including the two mysterious trees of One Piece. Fans will have to wait and see how Oda unfolds Joy Boy’s true identity in the series.
