The Father of Pirates as the God of Pirates?
Joy Boy was the first pirate in history and also the first man to conquer the seas. He was the Father of Pirates and could be considered the first Pirate King. In this sense, he might even be regarded as the “God of Pirates.” As the first pirate, Joy Boy essentially created the very concept of piracy.
Given that he possessed the powers of Nika, the Sun God, one might imagine how Joy Boy, as the original, could have been deified over time. Although his existence has been erased from history, had his name endured, Joy Boy might have become a legendary figure among pirates, revered as a god. As I’ve previously speculated, Pirate Island Hachinosu might have been Joy Boy’s hideout. While Hachinosu now conjures images of notorious villains like Rocks and Teach, if Joy Boy were the God of Pirates, then Hachinosu could have been the pirates’ paradise, akin to the Eden of biblical lore.
Roger, upon reaching Laugh Tale and learning about Joy Boy, famously wished he had been born in Joy Boy’s era, suggesting that Roger was deeply captivated by Joy Boy. Given that Roger was the only man ever called the Pirate King, Joy Boy’s legacy might be more fittingly described as that of a Pirate God. Joy Boy was likely one of the D., and his true name might have been Binks. Joy Boy could have been an alias, much like Luffy’s “Straw Hat.” His real name might have been something like “Binks D. [Surname]” or “[First Name] D. Binks.”
Delivering “Binks’ Sake” could symbolize liberating the oppressed and celebrating freedom with a grand feast. In this sense, “Binks’ Sake” might have been the drink of the God of Pirates, the drink of freedom. That’s how I interpret it now!
That concludes this article. Thank you very much for reading!
