JOYBOY The Name The Old Monks Still Whisper One Piece Original Song

[00:01.14] They say

[00:03.82] some names die when paper burns.

[00:09.14] Some names die when statue fall.

[00:14.19] But some names refuse to learn

[00:16.85] how to die at all.

[00:21.38] 800 years of silence

[00:25.36] and still the tides repeat one sound.

[00:30.94] JOYBOY.

[00:34.67] So sit

[00:35.99] breathe,

[00:37.58] Listen to the gap between the bells.

[00:42.38] Tell me

[00:43.71] child of this late age,

[00:47.03] What do you think he was?

[00:58.32] Was he a king who refused to lock his gate?

[01:03.36] Or a fool who trusted 20 crowns to late?

[01:07.63] Did he walk a city where

[01:09.85] giants fishmen skyfolk shared one street?

[01:14.01] Did children laugh at gods there

[01:16.66] with bare and honest feet?

[01:18.52] Did he dance with Nika's rhytm

[01:20.38] till the drums became his bones?

[01:22.77] Did he teach the sea a language that could not be burned from stones?

[01:27.29] Was his flag a sun or just

[01:29.41] A table with too many empty chairs?

[01:33.92] Did he promise one great feast

[01:35.79] and drown beneath their prayers?

[01:38.97] Joyboy

[01:39.88] name like a wave that forgot how to end.

[01:44.57] Was he savior or just friend?

[01:48.28] Joyboy

[01:49.36] Was he dawn or was he debt?

[01:53.35] Was he promised or regret?

[01:59.99] Did he kneel before a mermaid princess deep below?

[02:04.26] Did he swear to raise her people

[02:06.39] to a sun they'd never known?

[02:08.77] Is that apology in stone?

[02:10.89] A letter written late?

[02:13.02] Is it confession of his failure

[02:15.14] or a map to change this fate?

[02:17.57] Did he ride on Zunisha back before the sentence fell?

[02:21.55] Did he ask that giant beast to walk until the world grew well?

[02:26.35] Did he whisper to the noah ark?

[02:28.74] If i fall, still move them on.

[02:33.26] When he lost that first great war,

[02:35.11] did he lose or plant a dawn?

[02:37.77] If he held the ancient weapons,

[02:39.63] Was it to rule or guard?

[02:41.49] If he could have crushed the 20

[02:43.62] Did he choose a roadless heart?

[02:45.74] If he fell because he trusted

[02:47.87] or because he would not kneel.

[02:50.02] Tell me child which would feel closer to something you can feel?

[02:54.80] Who was Joyboy

[02:57.19] when the world was whole?

[02:59.05] Was he crown? Or

[03:01.17] was he hole?

[03:03.57] was he sun? Or

[03:05.69] Was he rain?

[03:07.82] Was he freedom? or just pain?

[03:12.34] Did he break or break the chain?

[03:13.92] Did he drown or seed the plain?

[03:16.58] When the drums begin again

[03:18.71] are we finishing his when?

[03:23.04] Did Queen Lily see his fall

[03:25.63] and fold his echo into ink?

[03:27.75] Did she scatter poneglyphs

[03:29.88] so future minds would learn to think

[03:32.28] Did that kingdom which outpace even vegapunk's wild designs

[03:38.40] fall to simple human terror of a world without their lines?

[03:42.93] Did Imu watch from flowered shadowns as the ancient cities cried?

[03:46.64] Did they call it holy judgement

[03:49.33] while a better future died?

[03:51.47] If joyboy stood against them

[03:53.87] with a laugh instead of spear,

[03:56.14] was his sin that he was early

[03:58.10] or that he saw too clear.

[04:01.12] Joyboy

[04:01.77] Everytime a D laughs at the noose

[04:05.34] It you they turn loose?

[04:09.32] Joyboy

[04:11.55] Is that title just a key?

[04:13.67] Waiting for the next fool

[04:15.79] who refuses not to be.

[04:18.18] When the pirate king reached laugh tale

[04:20.58] and read the hidden page,

[04:22.17] Did he hear one failed comedian

[04:24.58] or the architect of an age?

[04:26.70] Did he laugh because you lost

[04:28.56] or because your joke was vast,

[04:30.98] Too big for one short lifetime,

[04:33.37] so he threw it to the last?

[04:35.50] Did he trust a rubber heart to stand where you once fell?

[04:39.74] Did he leave your name unspoken so the sea itself could tell

[04:43.73] when that drum of liberation starts to match his old heartbeat?

[04:48.25] Will this world call it new dawn or

[04:50.91] Joyboy work complete?

[04:53.03] Who was Joyboy

[04:54.88] when the world was whole?

[04:57.28] Was he crowned or

[04:59.40] was he hole?

[05:01.53] Was he first

[05:02.87] or was he seed?

[05:05.80] Was he wound or

[05:08.71] was he creed?

[05:10.57] Did he fail or build a

[05:11.37] stage?

[05:12.44] Are we walking or his page?

[05:14.56] When that final party shakes the sea will we say we won

[05:20.01] or simply finished

[05:21.70] what Joy Boy meant

[05:25.25] to be?

[05:28.28] Remember this child.

[05:31.05] Not all saints wear crowns.

[05:35.54] Some die as punchlines

[05:36.87] no one lived long enough to understand.

[05:41.53] When the red walls crack.

[05:44.27] When a fool in a straw hat laughs

[05:46.12] at his own death.

[05:48.62] And the sea flinches

[05:49.93] like it has heard this story once before.

[05:54.95] Listen carefully to the space

[05:56.81] between the waves

[05:59.06] The old monks say if you are quiet

[06:02.38] enough

[06:04.51] you can hear a name

[06:06.90] smiling there

[06:08.87] Joy boy

[06:17.90] Joy boy

[06:26.60] Joy boy
