The Void Century = Peace and Order vs. Freedom and Chaos!? | Why Did Joy Boy Lose? Section heading: Why Did Joy Boy Lose?

While Joy Boy’s ideology might have been accepted by many people, one might imagine that Joy Boy and his forces were actually in a stronger position. Yet, as Vegapunk stated, they ultimately lost, and the world hasn’t changed…

Vegapunk is convinced that the Ancient Weapons are real and still exist, and he even said that the war isn’t over yet, which suggests that Joy Boy was likely defeated by the Ancient Weapons. Personally, I believe that while Joy Boy may have had control over all three Ancient Weapons, he chose not to use them. However, due to betrayal, mistakes, deception, or some kind of conspiracy, one of the Ancient Weapons ended up in the hands of the First 20.

The First 20 likely exploited that weapon to secure their victory… Joy Boy inscribed a Poneglyph apologizing to the Mermaid Princess of Fish-Man Island for not being able to keep his promise. It’s possible that he had no choice but to admit defeat and surrender…

Roger, too, ultimately turned himself in to the Navy and was executed, and perhaps Joy Boy met a similar end… However, like Roger who declared the start of the Great Pirate Era before his death, Joy Boy might have left behind a prophecy that one day, someone would come to bring about a great transformation in the world…

Imu-sama and others probably heard this prophecy, and they likely see Luffy or Blackbeard as the one who could fulfill it, making them wary… There’s also the possibility that Joy Boy was falsely blamed for the misuse of the Ancient Weapons, painting him as the villain…

Defeat in war often leads to the victors framing the defeated as the villains… The First 20, having submerged the world once to create a new one, likely call themselves gods for this reason… However, even gods can’t erase the truth…

Joy Boy might have known this as well… That concludes this article. Thank you very much for reading to the end!
