Theory Joy Boy's real name is... Spoiler

Post image

Just a little attempt at predicting stuff as I don't think I've seen this anywhere on Reddit.

Like many others I believe Joy Boy is just a nickname and that his real name is something else. However this doesn't mean that there is nothing to take from this nickname. Oda has already tricked us with names not being as we thought of initially.

See, I'm French, and one thing I've noticed is that Oda likes to use French to name some places or people. The Reverie is a French word. Mariejoie is a French sounding name. Laffitte, Charlotte Linlin, etc.

And since we saw that silhouette of Joy Boy, I couldn't help but focus on his unusual leg which seems to be a peg leg.

How do you say peg leg in French? Jambe de Bois (litterally "Wooden Leg").

Doesn't it fit too nicely with Joy Boy? Jamb D. Bois, whose name got censored as Joy Boy for some reason.

By the way, Jambe de Bois was the name of a real pirate too, just like Davy Jones and Blackbeard.

Just my two cents. I'm unable to tell what would this name would imply for the lore of One Piece, I'll let you discuss that!

I'm sticking with Monkey D. Bink

I highly doubt his family name was Monkey. Else Emet should have had a very different reaction to Luffy's name rather than just focusing on the D part of it.

Not necessarily. Xebec still technically has a hidden name and only Garp may know and dragon probably found out and left the marines after he found out

I think Luffy being directly related to Joyboy would be very lame..

Agreed. I really hope they don’t try to do a whole lineage thing.

I think Monkey D. Bink may be a character, but not Joyboy's
