  • Joy Boy entrusts his powerful Haki to Emet, revealing newfound strength and abilities.
  • Joy Boy’s formidable Haki forces the Gorosei back to Marijoa, showcasing his unmatched power.

Title 1122 of One Piece seems to bring a close to the Egghead Island saga, and it could indeed be wrapping up. The conflict on Egghead has ended, with the Straw Hat Pirates now en route to Elbaf alongside the Giants. Simultaneously, the Gorosei have been dispatched back to Marijoa’s Holy Land. This chapter was brimming with noteworthy scenes that were downright breathtaking. Emet, the Iron Giant, and his history with Joy Boy garnered significant focus in this installment.

For the first time in the series, viewers were introduced to Joy Boy. Simultaneously, a lengthy conversation from him was shown through a flashback of Emet, just before he played his final move and sealed his fate by closing his eyes forever. It turned out that this decisive move was actually Joy Boy’s powerful Haki ability, as strong as rumored.

How Joy Boy Sealed His Haki In Emet The Iron Giant Long Ago

Joy Boy Used A Special Knot To Store His Strongest Haki Inside Emet

In the One Piece chapter 1122, viewers were given a glimpse into Emet’s hidden ace. Ages ago, Joy Boy bestowed upon him a secret weapon to be unleashed when the situation demanded it. This week’s installment made it clear that Joy Boy had always safeguarded Emet regardless of circumstances. It is possible that Emet was, in fact, part of Joy Boy’s crew. Although fans are unsure about Emet’s specific responsibilities alongside Joy Boy or on his pirate team, they do know for certain that Joy Boy ensured his protection at all costs.

Despite Joy Boy not having infinite life, Emet, being a robot, could last indefinitely. This durability was the reason why Joy Boy wanted to bestow upon him something valuable for his protection. In essence, Joy Boy chose to encase his strongest Haki within Emet. He advised Emet to use this power judiciously, suggesting that it should be employed when needed for assistance or to shield those he cared about.

200 years ago, it remains a mystery as to how exactly Emet was deactivated, and why he suddenly reactivated 200 years later upon hearing Luffy’s drums of liberation. However, one thing that is clear is that fans understand that Emet recognized Luffy as the next Joy Boy and chose to sacrifice himself by rescuing Luffy on Egghead.

One Piece: The Strength Of Joy Boy's Haki, Explained

As a devoted fan, I couldn’t contain my excitement when he demonstrated the long-awaited use of his Haki for the first time! This formidable burst of Haki had been tightly coiled within him, hidden away like a knot on a rope inside his very being. When he untied that knot, it unleashed an overwhelming display of power that echoed throughout Egghead. It might seem perplexing to some viewers, but this wasn’t an ability conjured up by Oda on a whim – it has roots deeply embedded in the lore we’ve been following all along.

Just before the timeskip in One Piece, viewers were introduced to an ability reminiscent of Nami’s weather science on Weatheria, a floating island dedicated to meteorological research. Refresh your memory: Nami was sent there by Bartholomew Kuma and was trained by Haredas in the art of controlling weather. He taught her about wind knots, devices that stored energy within them. Each time he untied a knot, the winds grew stronger. Given Joy Boy’s origins from an advanced kingdom, it is plausible that his ability operates on a similar principle. This suggests that the knot Joy Boy uses might be of a familiar type, allowing him to store power inside Emet, much like the wind knots Nami learned on Weatheria.

The Strength Of Joy Boy’s Haki Was Truly Immense

  • Revealed In Chapter 1122
  • Split The Skies Alone

In chapter 1122 of One Piece, fans got an exciting peek at the astonishing Haki of Joy Boy. When Luffy declared his ambition to be Pirate King and revealed that he belonged to the D family, Emet took immediate action. By tugging on an internal rope and untying a knot, Emet set free Joy Boy’s most potent Haki across Egghead Island. This formidable power caused Marines to collapse all over the place, despite Egghead’s immense size.

In fact, this Haki actually split in the skies above Egghead all by itself. Usually, two powerful individuals need to come head-to-head in order to have a Haki clash and split the skies. The fact is that Joy Boy is the very first person to split the skies using his own Haki, and that just goes to show that he is in a league of his own.

As an ardent One Piece fan, I can’t help but marvel at the sheer power displayed by this character’s Haki on Egghead. It left such a cataclysmic impact that it serves as undeniable proof of Joy Boy being the most formidable character we’ve encountered thus far in the series. His Haki eclipses even the mighty Yonko, and legends like Roger himself. The Haki wielded by the Five Elders pales in comparison to that of Joy Boy, leaving us fans with a new understanding: there’s a fresh strongest character in town!

The Effects Of Joy Boy’s Haki On The Gorosei And Imu

Joy Boy’s Haki Was Shown To Have Devastating Effects On The Elders

In Chapter 1122 of “One Piece,” it was unexpected when Joy Boy’s Haki managed to knock the Five Elders out of their Yokai transformations. This caught fans off guard, as they had thought Luffy, who possesses strong Conqueror’s Haki, might have a similar effect. However, it seemed only Joy Boy could achieve this feat against the Elders, suggesting that Luffy must put in an extraordinary amount of training to match Joy Boy’s Haki level if he hopes to challenge the Elders and Imu effectively.

They not only got expelled from their shapes, but simultaneously returned to Marijoa, effectively negating Saturn’s ability to summon them due to Joy Boy’s Haki. This left only Saturn on Egghead Island, standing over Emet’s deteriorating body. In the end, fans witnessed a poignant reflection by Emet about his past with Joy Boy before he passed away permanently. Consequently, it appears that the events on Egghead Island have concluded, providing fans with valuable insights through Vegapunk’s communication and a profound emotional impact through the brief encounter between Emet and Joy Boy.
