In ONE PIECE Chapter 1123, it seems that Vegapunk, on his deathbed, tells Sanji that he wants Luffy and his crew to obtain the ONE PIECE. But what’s the reason behind this wish?

Let’s dive into that by first considering the connection between Vegapunk and Joy Boy, the likely person who left behind the ONE PIECE.

Vegapunk and Joy Boy

Before we explore why Vegapunk wants Luffy and his crew to obtain the ONE PIECE, let’s think about the relationship between Vegapunk and Joy Boy, who likely left behind the ONE PIECE.

Vegapunk mentioned that Joy Boy was a figure from the Void Century, a man from an advanced civilization and the first to be called a pirate. Yet, at the same time, Vegapunk admitted that he doesn’t know enough about Joy Boy to judge whether he was good or evil.

He also viewed Joy Boy as someone who left behind the Ancient Weapons, which possess the power to destroy the world, and stated that the ONE PIECE may not necessarily be obtained by someone Joy Boy wanted to have it.

Considering all this, it’s clear that Vegapunk finds Joy Boy to be an enigma. Even with Vegapunk’s extraordinary intellect, he seems to struggle with understanding what Joy Boy ultimately intended to achieve—perhaps it’s something beyond comprehension.

It’s likely that Vegapunk knows what Joy Boy stood for and what he accomplished, but he might not fully grasp what Joy Boy’s ultimate goal was.

Although Vegapunk couldn’t judge Joy Boy’s morality, he certainly didn’t consider him a villain. Given that Joy Boy was also Nika, and like Luffy, who is often seen as a notorious criminal, Joy Boy was likely someone who liberated people from oppressive rulers and violent regimes wherever he went. Vegapunk probably recognized this side of Joy Boy.

We know that Emet apologized to Joy Boy for not making him a king. If Joy Boy’s goal was to become a “king of the world,” the fact that he didn’t achieve that title might have been by choice rather than failure.

Could it be that Joy Boy refused the title of king? And perhaps that’s something Vegapunk couldn’t comprehend?
