(First and foremost, let me state that, no, this does *NOT* contain any spoilers about One Piece besides the name. In fact, only 2 One Piece figures are mentioned in this mythology. I myself detest manga spoilers; I wouldn't do anyone dirty like that. Now for the reason why I made this and what it's about: ) I heard that Joyboy is an actual legend from South American/Jamaican mythology that inspired Oda (the author of One Piece), along with Tom and Jerry and other sources. A warrior who was a champion of the slaves, as he set them free and blessed them with freedom. I wanted to see what the original Joyboy was like in our Earth's mythological history of him. However, try as I might, I could not find any stories that mentioned a Joyboy or Nika or a warrior of liberation. I'm not sure how Oda came across the legend/mythology, but I am forever beyond grateful that he did. But grateful as I am, that left me slightly unsatisfied. So, I decided to write Joyboy as a mythology story myself, like the ones from Greece, Egypt, Norse, Hawaiian, African, etc., that we read in class. My language may need some work, but this is how I believe Joyboy's mythology would be told if he had the same recognition as Percious, Horus, Thor, Anansi, Moui, etc. It is my deepest wish and hope that either lots of people who never watched/read One Piece enjoy this and remain spoiler-free, One Piece fans get a kick out of this, and potentially that Oda himself will take/find amusement in this attempt at literally writing history.

In a world ruled by corrupt kings and tyrannical gods, one man rises from the ashes of slavery to challenge it all. Taiyō D. Y/n, the firstborn son of the Pirate King, was once a nameless orphan enslaved by the Celestial Dragons. For 14 years, he suffered in silence, enduring torment, humiliation, and cruelty in the holy land of Mary Geoise. But the flames inside him never died. After devouring the Tatsu Tatsu no Mi, Model: Kinryu, a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that grants him the form and fury of a golden dragon, Y/n sparks a rebellion that shakes the heavens. In one night of fire and fury, he frees over 5000 slaves, slays Celestial Dragons, wounds Admiral Ryokugyu, and declares war on the World Government. With a 5 billion Berries bounty placed on his head, and the Straw Hat and sword of Gol D. Roger passed down to him by Shanks, Y/n sets sail two years later, not to conquer the seas, but to liberate the world from its chains. Now a rising star among the Worst Generation, he gathers a crew of misfits, survivors, and warriors, all carrying the same dream: true freedom. As the World Government tightens its grip and ancient powers stir in the shadows, the world begins to whisper a name once again... "The Flaming Sun Dragon."
