One Piece Flashback Reveals Our Best Look at Joy Boy Yet
----- ADS-----
One Piece has been around for decades, and still, it is finding new characters to bring forward. We have met plenty of top-tier characters as of late as the manga is working through its final saga. As the Egghead Island arc ends, all eyes are on the Straw Hat crew as the race for the One Piece is on. And this week, the manga made fans double take thanks to our best look yet at Joy Boy.
The whole thing comes courtesy of One Piece chapter 1122. Creator Eiichiro Oda flooded the back half of the chapter with a flashback, and it was there we reunited with Joy Boy. This time, we can see him sans Gear 5, and the silhouette we’re shown proves Joy Boy was a human like any other.
Armed with a similar hat to Luffy, Joy Boy is seen wearing a long coat with cropped pants. The most interesting piece of this update is Joy Boy’s prothetic limbs. It seems the pirate has a peg leg and one of his arms has been replaced with a hook. These elements are all prototypical for pirates as we know. Given that Joy Boy was the first pirate, he set the trend centuries ago, and that may not be all.
