Was the Sinking of the World During the Void Century Blamed on Joy Boy and His Allies? | Will Vegapunk Mention Luffy?

Will Vegapunk Mention Luffy?

Vegapunk seems to view Luffy as “Nika,” and at the same time, he knows that Joy Boy was also “Nika.” Vegapunk has revealed the existence of Joy Boy to the world, but will he also mention Luffy, who is the current bearer of that power?

The timeline indicates that the video was recorded before Vegapunk met Luffy, but it seems that something strange is happening with the chronology, at least from York’s perspective. How this fits into the story remains to be seen, but it’s likely that Vegapunk saw Luffy’s wanted poster in his Gear 5 form and recognized him as a special being—the reincarnation of Joy Boy.

Two years ago, Luffy destroyed Enies Lobby, punched a Celestial Dragon, led a mass breakout from Impel Down, and made his presence known during the Summit War. It was also revealed that he is Garp’s grandson and Dragon’s son. More recently, he defeated Kaido and rose to become one of the Four Emperors. With such an extraordinary track record, it’s likely that Vegapunk sees a strong connection between Luffy and Joy Boy.

While the chance of Vegapunk being dead is high, it’s probable that in the video, Vegapunk has already recognized Luffy as the reincarnation of Joy Boy.

Vegapunk’s message likely stirs fear and anxiety in the world’s people, except for the beneficial aspects of the Mother Flame, making “hope” a necessity for them.

He might tell the legend of Nika and mention that two men have awakened that power—Joy Boy and Luffy. Perhaps he will suggest that Luffy is the modern-day Joy Boy.

Though Vegapunk might refrain from outright labeling who is good or evil, he will likely speak of the hope he has for someone, leaving the people with a sense of expectation.

He may also talk more about Roger and his crew, saying that they did nothing because they were betting on the future, hinting that the pirate they were waiting for could be Luffy.

That concludes this article. Thank you very much for reading!
