The internet has been taken by storm when 19-year-old Eiichiro Oda's early work has surfaced online, showing a strong resemblance to his masterpiece, One Piece. Fans have speculated that Oda may have planned the final components of One Piece nearly 30 years ago, as the main character from his early work feels a lot like a mysterious One Piece character.
This character is none other than Joy Boy, the first ever pirate in One Piece and one of the most important members of the Ancient Kingdom. Although Joy Boy's physical appearance is not revealed in the story, his qualities and skills are fully apparent, and his characteristics match those of the protagonist in Oda's early works.
Oda's early work is called Forward, and its protagonist's name is Monkey D. Pao, establishing his connection to not only Joy Boy, but also One Piece's protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy. Therefore, there is a high chance that Oda can introduce Pao as Joy Boy in the final story of One Piece.
