One Piece: Was Joyboy a Buccaneer? – This Iron Giant Theory Makes a Lot of Sense in Luffy’s True Fate Against the Gorosei.

SUMMARY

The awakening of the Iron Giant in the Egghead Island arc of One Piece teases major revelations; notably, its connection to Joy Boy, Luffy,
This relic of an ancient civilization rekindles memories of the past, including a war with the Ancient Kingdom that led to the creation of 20 opposing kingdoms.

The Iron Giant’s familiarity with Joy Boy was made explicit when it recognized Gear 5, hinting at a historical or even personal association between them.

One Piece Egghead Island arc is going at full throttle, and fans can’t be more excited, especially for the events picking up toward the Throughout the Egghead Island narrative, the Iron Giant has proved to be a continual source of discussion among fans.

Since the arc has reached its culmination, the viewers may be sure that this behemoth will play a significant part. Finally, in One Piece Chapter 1111, this behemoth woke up and showed signs of movement. This confirms that it will play a role when the anime series returns from its hiatus.

The Origins of the Iron Giant

The Iron Giant – One Piece
The Iron Giant was unveiled to the public just after the Egghead Island subplot. The Straw Hat Pirates, as they travel to explore Egghead, have Luffy sighting the gigantic metal creature just after he meets Dr. Vegapunk. Vegapunk says the Iron Giant is a relic of an ancient kingdom, a construction pre-dating the Void Century, which attacked Marijoa 200 years ago by climbing the Red Line. That sent the Celestial Dragons packing, but it fell just short of finding its mark before running out of power.

All of this ties in very well with the statement that the Ancient Kingdom was a very advanced society. Since it was incredibly advanced and had technology that even the current One Piece world doesn’t, it’s easy to connect the dots and figure out that the people of the Ancient Kingdom created this Iron Giant and gave it a specific mission.

Given that the Ancient Kingdom was also at war with the twenty kingdoms, who banded together to defeat it, the Iron Giant most likely fought on the side of the Ancient Kingdom, and that is precisely why it knows Joy Boy as well as it does.

The Connection With Joyboy

Gear 5 Monkey D. Luffy

Iron Giant is reasonably linked with Joy Boy, a link that at least the fans vividly see. For instance, The Giant only woke up the moment Luffy found the strength back of Gear 5, which Joy Boy triggered back.

It was revitalized by the Drums of Liberation, and eventually, the Giant got back up again and it started moving. Now, as much as the giant could still stand back up without Luffy being ready to get out of his Gear 5, which is him being Joy Boy, it would most obviously not have moved. The two had been quite close and were probably friends at the time. Joyboy may have fought with Iron Giant, and fans can say that it is Joy Boy who gave it the mission to climb the entire Red Line, snapping back and destroying those top Marijoa.

There is quite a lot that the fans do not know about the Iron Giant just yet, but crumbs are lying around that link back, and fans can start piecing things together, which would lead to them figuring out what they want to know about the Iron Giant.
