One Piece: Joy Boy’s Strongest Powers So Far, Ranked

by

Joy Boy is a hugely important character in the manga and anime series One Piece, especially now that the story is entering its final stages. Recent story arcs have revealed a lot about his life, adventures, and powers.

Oda has shown fans just how powerful Joy Boy was, confirming expectations of the first pirate in the world of One Piece. Joy Boy wasn’t just skilled – he was incredibly strong, enough to genuinely frighten the World Government.

The Voice Of All Things

Joy Boy Could Hear The Voices Of Objects And Animals

Joy Boy had a remarkable ability called the Voice of All Things. This power let him understand and talk to anything – from objects to animals. He could even build strong connections with powerful beings like Zunesha and Emeth. While the full extent of the Voice of All Things remains a mystery in the world of One Piece, it’s been shown to be useful in battle. Currently, Joy Boy seems to be the only character who has mastered this unique skill.

Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika (Basic)

Joy Boy Had A Rubbery Body

Joy Boy possessed the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika Devil Fruit. Although some fans thought he had these abilities naturally, the story has confirmed he gained them by eating this fruit. In chapter 1044 of One Piece, the Gorosei stated this Devil Fruit hadn’t awakened for centuries, meaning it was awakened long ago. This suggests the fruit existed during the Void Century and was eaten by someone – now revealed to be Joy Boy.

It’s now confirmed that Joy Boy possessed the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika devil fruit. This fruit allowed him to stretch and shrink his body, and likely gave him powers similar to Luffy’s Gear 2, Gear 3, and Gear 4.

Devil Fruit Awakening

Joy Boy Could Access Gear 5

In One Piece chapter 1044, it was confirmed that Joy Boy successfully awakened his Devil Fruit. He was the first to do so before Luffy, and shared the same powers, identifying him as the Warrior of Liberation. This meant Joy Boy possessed the power of Gear 5, allowing him to fight with incredible freedom and joy, limited only by his imagination.

Honestly, it’s becoming so clear why Joy Boy was such a huge deal, and why the World Government is still terrified of him! We haven’t seen the full extent of his powers in One Piece yet, but I have a feeling we’re about to get a really good look soon, and it’s going to be mind-blowing!

Haki

Joy Boy Possessed Tremendous Haki

Joy Boy was incredibly powerful, largely thanks to his exceptional Haki. He mastered all three types of Haki, with Conqueror’s Haki being his strongest. Many fans consider Joy Boy’s Haki to be the greatest ever seen in the world of One Piece. It was recently revealed in the Egghead Arc that he sealed his most potent Haki within Emeth.

Emeth’s Haki was incredibly powerful. It completely shut down the abilities of the Five Elders, stopped their summons, and knocked out most of the Marines nearby, leaving only the Vice Admirals and higher-ranking officers conscious. It even cracked the sky open. Many fans consider this the most impressive display of Haki ever seen in One Piece, showing a power level far beyond anything seen before.

Scientific Prowess

Joy Boy Could’ve Had Scientific Powers

Many fans initially thought Joy Boy would fight like Luffy, but that idea is way off. Joy Boy actually came from a highly advanced, prosperous kingdom – one that was even more developed than any we’ve seen in the current One Piece world. This means his scientific abilities were likely incredible.

He cared for Emeth and understood the scientific abilities he possessed. Based on a shadowy image, Joy Boy might have even used prosthetics like a wooden leg or a robotic arm. Regardless, he had powerful scientific knowledge and used it in mysterious ways. He also controlled the Ancient Weapons and intended to leave them for those who came after him – they were essentially part of his equipment. Hopefully, as the story delves deeper into Joy Boy’s character, we’ll learn how he actually used his scientific power.

One Piece will have a break next week, and a new chapter (Chapter 1166) will be released on November 23, 2025. Fans can read it for free on Manga Plus.
