This is where I will work out the occasional conspiracy theory based on translations, if only to trick my own curiousity. These will mostly center around the Void Century.

Joy Boy
Joy Boy (joi boi). Something new to drive me crazy. I can at least run with something to ease my suffering.

Joi = Investiture.

Investiture:

1. The act or process of investing.

2. The formal bestowal, confirmation, or presentation of rank, office, or a possessory or prescriptive right, usually involving the giving of insignia or an official title.

3. the state of being invested, as with a garment, quality, or office.

Joy Boy was first referenced when Nico Robin was reading the Ryugu Poneglyph. The poneglyph was said to contain a letter of apology. Joy Boy was most likely either the sender or the recipient, if neither of the two, then he was simply mentioned in the letter. Going with the translation, it would be Investiture Boy. Going with the definition, it would have to do with bestowing titles. Something went wrong with a title bestowal? Perhaps a spy for the 20 Kings was given a position of power? There seems to be a hint of false blame hanging here. Joy Boy seems to be a title in this case, then. Who do titles matter to? Nobles. Who are the descendents of the 20 Kings? World Nobles.

Remember what I said in the chat. Poneglyphs are primary texts. They read like first hand accounts, not like history books.

More stuff cuz I was bored. Will of D has to do with the Void Century. People have to decipher the poneglyphs. No D has ever seen a poneglyph. Shot in the dark, D means dekuriputo or decrypt. Monkey Dekuriputo Luffy. Potogasu Dekuriputo Esu, kinda has the same flow to it.

Back to Joy Boy: Conversation bits from the chat
Joi can mean investiture, which has to do with bestowing titles.

So he would be the one to bestow titles to people. My theory is that the the ancient kingdom, which was more powerful than the 20 Kingdoms, gave someone from the alliance an honorary title in the ancient kingdom.

In other words, they gave the status that would eventually become "World Noble" to someone influential from the 20 Kingdoms.

That might have been the first domino to fall that would ultimately lead to the downfall of the Ancient Kingdom.

It would have basically been a political infiltration, an ill-intentioned diplomat with power in the country where they hold the title of diplomat, or diplomatic immunity, which is essentially what the world nobles have, only on a larger scale.The letter could be Joy Boy apologizing for bestowing the title. In other words, the Ancient Kingdom might have created the Tenryubito status.

Since normally the king bestows titles to people, Joy Boy was either the king, or the king's proxy. He bestowed a political title/position that would become an inherited status. (D connection?)

Boi can also mean bellboy, porter, or waiter, ie attendant.

Here's a query, who the hell writes a letter on a block the size of a small room? 7/1/11

Pay attention to Noah. 7/14/11

Noah was left on the ocean floor by a man who asked the people to protect it until he came back. What if he never did and felt bad? God I hope it's not that obvious. 10/7/11

Thank You, Shandora
The Ancient Kingdom had allies. Shandora, Ryugu, and Alabasta are only some of them. The poneglyphs were moved to those kingdoms, possibly either by survivors or before or during the Great War. Chapter 272.

Void Text
Working on hashing together a basic alphabet based on repeating subsymbols. Each symbol is made up of two smaller symbols. Episode 194 confirms it is symbol based, following the eastern writing idea. Possibly some type of Japanese pigpen cipher. I have only three symbols to go on. They spell out Gol D. Roger. Possibly a new language in and of itself, though I'm not going to jump the gun on that one.
