A Dangerous Machine From One Piece’s Void Century

Produced by Toei Animation; based on the original manga by Eiichiro Oda

The Iron Giant is one of the last remnants ofa time commonly known as the Void Century . Similarly to the mechanical being , this epoch is a mystery inside the world ofOne Piece , as there is no write entropy about it anywhere . The World Government proscribe research on this issue , claiming that the knowledge people could acquire from it would be dangerous . Even pirates like the infamous Gol D. Roger , who was one of the few the great unwashed with knowledge about this topic , refused to address about it . As a remnant of that prison term , the origins of the Iron Giant persist a mystery .

Yet , there is more to this massive firearm of machinery than meet the eye . 200 years before the beginning of the serial , the Iron Giant invaded the Holy Land of Mary Geoise , the home base of the affluent Celestial Dragons . Once the machine ran out of batteries , the Five Elders adjudicate to leave it in the middle of Egghead Island . There , it waste for hundreds of years until Luffy ’s Gear 5 transformation awakened it . As it walks through the island , it cries and begs for forgiveness from Joy Boy , who is theorized to be the previous user of Luffy ’s Devil Fruit .

One of Joy Boy’s Old Allies?

The Iron Giant’s origins could tie back to the previous Gear 5 user

Joy Boy is a being who lived during the Void Century and helped liberate slaves . He was thought to be the one who would be capable of bringing smiles to everyone around the reality . The World Government has tried its hardest to erase anyknowledge about Joy Boy , as they still see him as a scourge to their mogul . While it has never been confirm , Joy Boy likely met his destruction at the hands of the World Government . This would excuse why the Iron Giant mourn the deprivation of his friend . He could have assault Mary Geoise after learning about Joy Boy ’s demise .

On the other bridge player , the Iron Giant could have been an ally of Joy Boy , who was forced to betray his friend . If the Iron Giant was a powerful ally of Joy Boy , the World Government could have turned it into a weapon against their enemy . The Iron Giant could have escaped the Five Elders ’ control after Joy Boy ’s demise , turn against them and assail their home . This would explicate why they determine to keep him around instead of destroying it , as it could leaven an effective secret artillery in the future tense .

The Iron Giant May Define Who Ultimately Comes Out On Top

While its undecided who – or what – the Giant sides with, it oculd mean big things for the future of the series

Whether the Iron Giant is an ally to Luffy or the World Government , it seems clear that its next moves could prove all-important to the fight between the Straw Hats and the Five Elders . Such a powerful wight could tilt the scales in favour of whomever he helps during the conflict . still , the Five Elders already seem to have the upper hand in the conflict , gift thattheir Devil Fruit powersturn them into neigh - immortal being . This could incriminate that the Iron Giant will assist Luffy either defeat them or will give itself to facilitate the new Joy Boy escape .

This would help two determination , giving the Iron Giant repurchase , as it has now achieve its goal of help Joy Boy , and collimate the events of the Sabaody Archipelago Arc . The Straw Hats , having been outmatched by their enemy , will pull back and develop potent , with a follower of Nika ’s will staying behind to cover their tracks . see as this arc has focalize heavily on Kuma , who serve this role during the Sabaody Arc , it would not be strange to see a similar issue occurring again .

Kuma ’s arrival at Egghead raises questions about the Buccaneers ' true powers and history , hint at a new occult great power in One Piece .

One of the few known facts about the almost extinct Buccaneer race is that they issue forth from a bequest of the Giants . The Iron Giant is supposedly similar in height to one of the Ancient Giants who used to roam the world during the Void Century . Like the metallic titan , the Buccaneers are extremely firm to Nika , keep the caption of the Sun God alive even after it became a out topic . The Iron Giant , being a member or an ancestor to the sea rover , could explicate its incredible veneration to Joy Boy .

This could also connote that , like Kuma , the being who was formerly a phallus of the Ancient Giants , went through a process to become a living weapon . Joy Boy ’s own Drums of Liberation could have become the muscularity needed for the raw automaton to work , which is why it reacted to Luffy ’s Gear 5 variant . If this is rightful , that would only broaden the equivalence between Kuma and the Iron Giant , making it even more likely that the machine will terminate up helping the young Joy Boy in the ending .

Whatever stop up occurring , it is clear that Oda has plans for the Iron Giant , and it is almost surely pass away to be put into move presently . As this is officiallyOne Piece ’s concluding saga , things will begin to move cursorily . The purpose and backstory of this being may be unwrap sooner than expected .
