Anyway some event after that proved to him that he wasn’t Joy Boy. In Chapter 1035, we see Kaido as young as we’ve ever seen him and it implies that he had already strong knowledge of Joy Boy even before meeting Alber/King. It is clearly shown that at some point in Kaido’s past, he had the belief that he himself was Joy Boy. According to Sengoku, Xebec dabbled in the world’s greatest taboos and there’s no greater taboo for the World Government than the true history. Probably he learned of Joy Boy through Rocks D. What’s significant here is that Kaido is the first person to mention Joy Boy without having read the Poneglyphs.

Inspired by Joy Boy’s story, Roger bestowed the final island with the name of “Laugh Tale”.Ĭhapter 1014 revealed that Kaido has knowledge of Joy Boy. Roger professed his curiosity about Joy Boy, considering the circumstances behind this past figure as funny. Roger and his crewmates reacted to this discovery with a burst of laughter. There, not only did they learn about the truth of the Void Century, the Ancient Weapons, and the Will of D., they also stumbled upon Joy Boy’s treasure. With the information of every Road Poneglyph at hand, Roger and his crew ultimately made it to the elusive final island of the Grand Line. Roger was a legendary pirate who, as captain of the Roger Pirates, held the title of Pirate King and owned the legendary treasure known as One Piece. He was a capable philologist, able to inscribe Roger’s message on the Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell in the same ancient language, as well as decipher all the Poneglyphs the Roger Pirates had found, particularly the Road Poneglyphs, which proved vital in the Roger Pirates’ success in locating and sailing to Laugh Tale.

However, he met opposition from his usurper Kurozumi Orochi and pirate Kaido, who executed him 20 years before the present.Īs a descendant of the Kozuki Family, Oden inherited from his ancestors the knowledge and skill to read Poneglyphs and write its ancient language. After finding Joy Boy’s treasure on Laugh Tale, Oden journeyed home and made it his goal to open Wano’s borders to the world by finally taking his father’s place as Shogun. Kozuki Oden was the daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country.įor 5 years of his life, Oden set out to sea and became a pirate, serving as the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and later becoming a member of the Roger Pirates.
