Chapter 167: Mythical History III
...........
Eating these fruits then grants you the power of the serpent but also its weakness, the fact that it's currently paralyzed within the water.
"Joy Boy, he... ate a Zoan Devil Fruit, one you might be familiar with... Gomu Gomu no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants the user's body the properties of rubber, effectively turning them into a Rubber Human," Yovan continued with a subtle smile.
He could imagine Monkey D. Dragon's reaction at the moment as the latter was listening, and the holder of the Devil Fruit is none other than his son, Monkey D. Luffy.
"Really?" Bege had some doubts, "It sounds so unremarkable. I expected something more from a mythical history."
"Most Devil Fruits can only shine in the right hands, so even a Devil Fruit as simple as Gomu Gomu no Mi can be a force to behold depending on the user," Yovan disagreed, "However, your point still stands."
"It does?" Bege was perplexed.
"The Gomu Gomu no Mi is a lie," Yovan nodded, his words baffling the listeners, only Dragon knows a little about the subject, but he was still unsure.
"Its true name is Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, and was classified as a Mythical Zoan-type fruit that allows the user to transform into the legendary "Sun God" Nika." Yovan calmly stated.
"I... I don't understand? Why was the Devil Fruit's true form hidden? Did the Alliance of the D lose the war?" Bege further questioned.
"Let me continue where we left off," They were starting to get distracted, and Yovan wanted to explain things in order, "I believe Joy Boy was a giant, and I believe that he lost one of his eyes either in the war, before it or after it."
"???"
"..."
He noticed their confusion. How could he get such information, "When I arrived here, I met the King of Giants, Ymir. He was adorning an eyepatch, but I could see it, beneath the eyepatch was his intact eye.
Why would he put on an eyepatch if he doesn't have a problem with his eye? It must mean something to him. He told me that he was alive in the Void Century, but I believe he was alive long before it.
He was probably very close to Joy Boy. There is certainly some history there, and now he's waiting for the return of Joy Boy to declare war once again."
He didn't wait for them to ask any more questions as he continued, "The Alliance of the D won against the Lunarians, and exterminated the majority of them.
However, I believe the people of the D sought to create a kingdom that was inclusive of all species. Instead of conquering the world, they sought to make it a place free for everyone, including the Sea God, as this planet is its home.
So they created the Mary Geoise, or the Mary Joys, the name of the ancient Kingdom that sought peace, and it was created above the red line.
Joy Boy traveled the world in an attempt to unite people in their cause. It took him all over the world, Zou, Wano, and down to Fishman Island who was imprisoned beneath the red line by the Lunarians, like livestock.
There, I believe he made a promise with the mermaid princess, Poseidon, to bring them up to the surface in their united world, so Noah was constructed, a ship that was to both bring them up to the world and one other purpose...it was a party vessel."
Yovan felt the tale to be very familiar, something he couldn't tell the group. Biblically, Noah's Ark was made to bring a couple animals of every species to the new world after the flood.
However, in this world, "Noah was meant to go around the world and bring people from everywhere to this party to celebrate their union and the birth of a new world. A world where they all together find a way to live together in peace."
At this point, the Strangers remained silent despite having many doubts, knowing that he will make everything clear... Their doubts mostly revolve around Poseidon.
And indeed, Yovan directly delved into the subject, "Poseidon who contributed to sealing the Sea God, where was she? You might wonder... She's dead, killed by Uranus.
She's a risk that can not allow to exist, but her regret still prevails as she had basically brought misfortune to her people, but when there is a will, there is a way.
Her will was passed down, and so were her powers. Willpower is quite the facinating thing, able to manifest miracles." Yovan especially stressed that point, willpower may just be more important to him than Limitless.
"Unfortunately, Joy Boy couldn't make his promise come true as things took a turn too suddenly. The Mary Joys was destroyed by the coalition of the twenty allied kingdoms, ancestors of the world nobles.
It was too sudden, quite unexpected, and they won despite the overwhelming forces of the Mary Joys." The more that he thought about it, the more impressed Yovan was.
"How?" The Strangers wondered.
"It's due to one existence, an impressive conspiracy... Uranus who still sits on the empty throne till this very day." Yovan's words left them speechless.
They were wondering where Uranus had vanished after allying with the Lunarians, "How did Uranus suddenly take over the world, and how are they still alive??"
They had so many more doubts. Uranus still rules over the world? How come they never heard of them? What's happening? How?
"As I said, it's a conspiracy. Uranus didn't just suddenly decide to seal the Sea God, and their fear of the gigantic creature may have been true or may have been a cover to mislead the Lunarians."
"Uranus is... Scary," Yovan had to admit much to the surprise of the listeners, especially those who know the monster that's Yovan. His words lit the fire of anticipation within them.
"Uranus may have somehow predicted the Sea God's action and may have even led it to bite onto the Treasure Tree Adam, or even controlled it to do so.
Who knows if the Sea God's rampage, collapsing the moons is even true, or the creature was simply controlled, as I stressed before, the combination of Uranus and Poseidon can control it.
I believe that Uranus acquired the very first Devil Fruit, one of the Sea, Umi Umi no Mi. Uranus was the first individual to find out about Devil Fruits' weakness yet they still chose to spread Devil Fruits throughout the world."
"Uranus spread the Devil Fruits themselves? Why? Are they not a threat to their rule?" The Strangers were understandably confused.
"Quite the opposite, actually," Yovan shook his head with an amused smile, "What Uranus is afraid of are those who didn't take Devil Fruits, those who rely on other means.
Remember that Uranus now basically rules over the sea with their Umi Umi no Mi, so Devil Fruit users are powerless before Uranus. That may be why the Mary Joys lost. No, that's certainly why they lost.
However, things didn't go too perfectly for despite the void century being a void century, traces still remain, the Poneglyphs."
Yovan remained silent awhile, watching the group's ever-changing expressions, trying to comprehend the words just spoken, only interrupted by his next word, "This isn't the end of the story."
"It isn't??" Their minds were already having a headache comprehending the mythical history, yet there was more.
"Uranus' plan either wasn't perfect, or there was a variable outside of their expectations... I believe the variable to be Hito Hito No Mi, a Devil Fruit that has resistance to Uranus' powers.
It gave Joy Boy time to leave behind his will, to leave behind the One Piece, something Uranus discovered, but couldn't reach as it's hidden in a dangerous place to her, a place protected by the sealed Sea God.
Thus the only way to retrieve whatever Joy Boy left behind was to find Poseidon and again control the Sea God... So Poseidon killed herself."
