hm my theorie

Noah whas constructed long ago by Joy boy and other people in order to seal something inside it but why a boat? and what could be sealed in it? if its an animal how can it be alive

The boat question is easy cause a huge boat in a shadowy space is better option than a huge box saying do not open box in emergencies; thoug curious pirates would now and then enter noah to try and find treasure in it would be eaten by whatever things maybe traped

What may be sealed is a creature so fearsome it couldnt be defeated so they had to seal it the creature might have raged for some days-weeks-months that it broke most shackles and made holes so in order to try and destroy the creature they let it there dying of hunger

The creature tough could be like a water bear and could hibernate this allows him to sleep years without ever having to eat, seing as he now and then would eat( assuming pirates were eaten and some assasins droped victims there) the beast could live on various centuries until the ship moves se he could escape trought the lower part of the ship he could have attacked when he was ragin in order of escaping from below

Thoug I'm not sure if this is true Oda always surprises uses and the way the ship is left makes me think thats actually more of a prision then a saving
