Joy Boy was an extraordinary man.
He had not received much education, nor had he been born into prominence. He was merely an adventurer.
The only thing that made him somewhat different was that he loved meddling in other people's affairs.
During his travels, he would always encounter things that upset him, and whenever that happened, he would strike without hesitation.
Joy Boy loved freedom and loathed restraint. He met many slaves during his journeys, and without hesitation, he would turn entire countries upside down for the sake of his friends.
"At first, he did not have any particularly noble motivation. That man simply followed his instincts, continuously freeing slaves."
Bright smiled. "He smashed the chains binding people and sent the kings and nobles he despised flying."
"So his travels were always very lively."
"Thanks to Bikan arrival, kings who could now communicate conveniently called him the most dangerous man in the world. There were even several occasions when multiple countries joined forces in an attempt to kill him."
"That really does sound romantic."
Aokiji sighed. "Still, that Joy Boy was truly incredible."
"Of course. He was a man with a heart as vast as the sea, so naturally he possessed strength to match."
Bright said with a smile, "His journey was unstoppable. Gradually, a force gathered behind him. The people he saved followed him, and those who shared his beliefs joined him."
No one spoke. Even Akainu was listening intently.
"So, when his name had become impossible for anyone to conceal, Bika took notice of him."
Bright said, "The people of Bika were delighted that such a figure had appeared upon this sea. But Bika still did not offer Joy Boy much help. The people of that country adhered to the principle of noninterference in other nations' internal affairs.
