One Piece will be on break next week, so readers will have plenty of time to discuss these events. The return of Joy Boy has gotten a lot of people talking these past few days.

It's very clear that series creator Eiichiro Oda has been setting up this moment for several years now. For many readers, this is long-term storytelling at its finest. This is why there has been so much engagement with the recent chapter.


Why are fans so excited?

Ever since Nico Robin mentioned him back at Fishman Island, Joy Boy has been the center of the One Piece mystery. He is the man responsible for leaving behind a great treasure in Laugh Tale. After learning about the world's true history, Gol D. Roger held Joy Boy in very high regard.

Wano Country has been slowly building him back up again. For some reason, Kaido wanted to become Joy Boy, although he failed to do so. It's also been revealed that Zunesha used to be a traveling companion for Joy Boy.

The most recent chapter ends with the sudden declaration that Joy Boy has returned. Fans have many questions regarding this particular statement, such as whether or not he reincarnated himself. Luffy's transformation has also been the subject of debate, as he seems to be using a brand new form.


Fans will have to wait two weeks to resolve the cliffhanger

Regardless, Eiichiro Oda will be on break next week. In the meantime, readers have two weeks to discuss the events of One Piece Chapter 1043. Some fans even joked that Oda purposely left his entire community in shambles. It's going to be a very long wait just to see what happens next.
