Introduction
In this theory I am going to talk about Joy Boy and the Ancient Weapons. Don't get me wrong I am not talking about Joy Boy and the Ancient Weapon who exist during the Void Century I am talking about the new Joy Boy and the new Ancient Weapons who are part of the current era of the OPverse. But before going to the new era I have to talk about the void century giving a brief summary of what we know to show what we can already conclude and what kind of hints it gives us about the new era.
Informations about the Void Century
800 years ago was the end(or beginning I am not sure) of a century which is now known as the void century, its called Void Century cause the World Goverment tried to erase all informations about this century and also prevent people from talking about it. But there exist the indestructable Poneglyphs written in a language with only a few left who are able to read, more precious the only known living character able to read this language is actually Nico Robin. Nico Robin is from an island called Ohara known for the Scholars of Ohara a group of people who studied the history of the OPverse incl. to find out everything about the Void Century by decyphering the Poneglyphs. Everyone of the Scholars of Ohara (besides Robin) were killed by a Buster Call while Robin was still a kid. In Robins backflash Oda revealed the final words of Prof. Clover ther leader of the Sholar of Ohara.
These final words revealed a lot. During the Void Century there was an enormous Kingdom which prided itself for its great power. But this Kingdom doesn't exist anymore it can be concluded that this Kingdom was defeated by an alliance of the 20 nations which have become the leading nations of the current World Goverment.
The next piece of important information is what we learned about the Poneglyphs on Zou. There it was told the Poneglyphs were created by the Kozuki Clan of Wano.
In the flashback of Oden we learned that the Kozuki Clan was also responsible for closing boarders of Wano that the clan did it to protect Wano from a great evil.
In my opinion its quite obvious that this great evil was the alliance which is now know as the World Goverment. With this one can conclude that the Ancient Kingdom ordered the Poneglyphs the moment they realize they are going to loose the war and that the Poneglyphs containing the informations about the Void Century were given to their allies. Meaning every nation who was in the possesion of a Poneglyph was an ally of the Ancient Kingdom. Besides history these Poneglyphs also contains thel locations and informations of the so called Ancient Weapons known Poseidon, Pluton and Uranus each of them capable of mass destruction.
These weapons are not only meant to be objects, but also living beings. Pluton is a ship while Poseidon is a Mermaid Princess able to control the Sea Kings while Uranus is still completly unknown. Combining that the Poneglyphs contains informations about the Ancient Weapons with the assumption that the Poneglyphs were ordered by the Ancient Kingdom and hand over to their allies one can conclude that the Ancient Kingdom and their allies were in the possesion of these Weapons.
Another thing we learned about the Poneglyphs that there are 4 special Poneglyphs, known as the Road Poneglyphs. These Poneglyphs contain the informations how to reach the island Laugh Tale. This lead to the assumption that the Ancient Kingodom was domiciled on that Island.
Roger and his crew manage to reach Laugh Tale and learned anything about the past and a man known as Joy Boy. They also learned that Joy Boy will return 20 years later, which is "now" in the current One Piece timeline. Thats also why Oden decided to go back home and open the boarders of Wano.
This leads to the assumption that Joy Boy was something like the leader of the Ancient Kingdom. And since we learned that with Joy Boy also Poseidon have to return at given time
I am going to say that also the other 2 Ancient Weapons will return too.
The return of Joy Boy
To figure out who Joy Boy is ne might ask if there are still descandants from the Ancient Kingdom, I would say yes. The 20 nations (except Nefertari family/Alabasta) decided to live on top of the Redline and become a group named Celestial Dragons. These Celestial Dragons are the privileged minority ruling over the World acting like being Gods. In Laws flashback we learned that the father of Doflamingo and Corazon was a Celestial Dragon who decided to become a normal human.
In one point of the backflash Law asked Corazon whats the meaning of the D., followed by Corazon telling him that the D. stands for "Gods natural enemy".
Especially with Corazon saying Celestial Dragons can be seen as these gods one can conclude that the D.'s are the descandents of civilisation. This results in the assumption that the new Joy Boy should be part this "D. Clan". And who would fit better than the main protagonist of One Piece ? Who is actually called Monkey D. Luffy and thus part of this "D. Clan". Are there more hints, of course there are! I expect many would go the and compare Luffy with Roger, but since we learned through the story of Oden that Roger never was a "Joy Boy" I will try a different approach (long time many expect sth. like Joy Boy -> ... -> Roger -> Luffy).
At Twin Cape the Strawhat Pirates met Crocus who was the doctor of the Jolly Roger Pirates. After Strawhats left Twin Cape we saw Crocus talking to himself.
The ones we were waiting for, for me definetly a reference to the outcome of Jolly Roger Laugh Tale adventure. Also interisting in Odens flashblack we saw the Sea Kings saying that ones the Kings returns the whales will be happy again.
Now look back what we see the moment Strawhat Pirates entered the New World for the first time!
I think there was actually noone doubting anymore that Luffy is or will become the new Joy Boy, but I hope these points just strengthen this idea. Lets head to the next one!
The return of Poseidon
Since we already that Princess Shirahoshi is the Ancient Weapon Poseidon there is not much more to say about it.
So lets directly head over to the next one.
The return of Pluton
Pluton is known as the world's worst battle ship.
A ship capable of destroying a whole island with a single blast and it said to be hidden somewhere in Alabasta.
And we know that the position of Pluton is noted on the Poneglyph in the secret tomb below the plast of Alabasta and Cobra is aware of it.
At this point some of you migh have already realized that there is something that does not fit. On the one hand Nefertary was part of the alliance that took down the Ancient Kingdom during the Void Century on the other hand they were hiding not only a Poneglyph but also the Ancient Weapon Pluto from the World Goverment. The first part toally fits with Robins reaction towards Cobra saying they were protecting the Poneglyph.
Bur I actually think Cobra was telling the truth. I mean even the 5 Elders figured out that the Nefertari family have to be traitors cause they were the only ones who decided to live on the surface 800 years ago.
An interisting figure introduced during Reverie is the hidden King of the world known as Im. And we saw Im with pictures of 4 characters: Luffy, Teach, Shirahoshi and Vivi. One can easily find explanation why the first 3, but why Vivi? And also why was he holding it while moving to the throne.
On top of that we learned that after Reverie ended an incident occured, an incident with the Kingdom of Alabasta being involved.
Adding to this that the World Goverment already started to search for the Ancient Weapon (especially Pluton).
This lead to the assumption that the World Goverment figured out the location of Pluton! And I won't be suprised that the incident will end up being resolved with the World Goverment end up finding the Pluton!
The ones who remeber Water 7 saga well will know in which direction this will lead! In Water 7 saga we learned that the blueprints of Pluton still exist.
These blueprints has been passed down in a line of incredible shipwrights to protect them from falling into the wrong hands and use them to build a new Pluton in case that the first Pluton will be revived. Does this mean Franky will build a new Pluton once he heard about the ressurection of the first one? No I don't think so cause I am convinced that he really destroyed the blueprints of Pluton (without a copy of existing).
But like Shirahoshi is a new Poseidon I think the Thousand Sunny can be seen as new Pluton! Does this mean Thousand Sunny was build based on the blueprints of Pluton? Actually not I think Franky manage to create a new Pluton completly independent from the first one and I am going to say the new one will end up surpassing the first one!
In this theory I am going to talk about Joy Boy and the Ancient Weapons. Don't get me wrong I am not talking about Joy Boy and the Ancient Weapon who exist during the Void Century I am talking about the new Joy Boy and the new Ancient Weapons who are part of the current era of the OPverse.
