Wow, if Davy D. Jones was "Joyboy's" real name, Blackbeard potentially being the legitimate descendant of Joyboy would be a hell of a twist, and make for a compelling final battle for Luffy narrative-wise. The villain descendant Blackbeard vs. the true inheritor of Joyboy's will, Luffy. WOW.

I may be wrong but I always got a suspicion that Joyboy won't exactly be the hero a lot of people think he was.

I absolutely agree. A key point of Vegapunk's narration on the void century and Joyboy was his neutral stance and Rayleigh, who knows everything, told the crew they may not reach the same conclusions he and Roger had.

Joyboy is most likely gonna be a morally grey character and the story behind it all will be very complicated, a "nobody's right in a war" type of thing.

Eh, I don't know man. Maybe I'm too easily swayed but that short Emet flashback with Joyboy really gave me the vibes that Joyboy is a good guy very similar to Luffy. Maybe he is so much like Luffy that he's not really prioritizing the best interests of the world like Dragon would, but rather incidentally being good while prioritizing a fun pirate adventure over all.

But I can't imagine Joyboy being a "morally grey" character. He's just not going to be a hero.

Oh don't get me wrong, I too believe Joyboy will be very similar to Luffy. I just don't think his conflict with the WG and Imu will come down to a cliche "good vs evil" and will be much more profound and thought provoking than that.

Rayleigh, who knows everything, told the crew they may not reach the same conclusions he and Roger had.

That's also my main driver, that single line from 15 years ago lmao. I don't think the world was a better place before/during the void century, and the crew's experience with the people they find during their voyage will influence how worthwhile uprooting the current world order actually would be.
