The first-ever pirate inOne Piece, Joy Boy, is responsible for a lot of major occurrences in the series. From hiding theOne Piecetreasure 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 inOne Piece, and fans have been waiting for it for the longest time.
While fans wait, aOne Piecetheory 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
During the Wano arc, when Luffy transformed into Nika, it was established that Joy Boy is not actually a name but a mantle that is assigned to the one who will liberate the world from the tyranny of the World Government. The person or “boy”who will bring joy to the peoplearound him will be deemed as Joy Boy.

Incidentally, this name was first given to theOne Piececharacter, 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 theOne Piecenarrative.
While it has not been exclusively established in the narrative, there is a chance thatEiichiro Odawill 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 theOne Pieceworld and the fans of the series.
One PieceTheory Explains Joy Boy’s Real Name
According to aOne Piecetheory posted by@Jays1Dwnon X, Joy Boy’s real name was Adam, and his actual dream was to unite the people in theOne Pieceworld. 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 inOne Piece.
The Tree of Adam is located in Elbaph, and the Tree of Eve is located above Fish-Men Island. The theory explains that the first Joy Boy (named Adam) left behind the tree as the symbol of his cause, andthis cause was to revive Noah, the giant ship. The tree will be used to repair Noah, and the giants will help in this cause as they are the only ones who can work on a ship as enormous as Noah.

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 ofOne Piece. Fans will have to wait and see how Oda unfolds Joy Boy’s true identity in the series.
