One Piece Chapter 1164 delivers a pivotal revelation in the ongoing Egghead arc, confirming that Joy Boy and Davy Jones are two distinct historical figures. The chapter, released on November 2, 2025, provides a major clue to the long-standing mystery of the Will of D, a recurring theme tied to characters like Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Luffy, and Marshall D. Teach. According to the chapter, both Joy Boy and Davy Jones opposed Imu during the Void Century, and their legacies continue through modern-day inheritors. The development marks a turning point in the lore of Eiichiro Oda’s epic saga.

One Piece Chapter 1164, published on November 2, 2025, confirms that Joy Boy and Davy D. Jones are not the same person, as previously speculated. The chapter reveals that Davy Jones was the former king of the Great Kingdom, overthrown by Imu, while Joy Boy was a separate revolutionary figure. The information is disclosed during a confrontation between Rocks D. Xebec and Imu, where Rocks questions which of the two legends Imu fears more. This distinction provides a crucial clue to the Will of D, suggesting it may encompass multiple legacies.

Quotes and Reactions

Beebom report:

“Oda has finally given us a major clue to solving the mystery of Will of D.”

FandomWire analysis:

“Davy Jones was the true king of the world. His will lives on through Blackbeard.”

Fan on X:

“The Will of D is now clearly a dual legacy — Luffy and Blackbeard are two sides of the same coin.”

The chapter has sparked widespread discussion across the One Piece community.

What This Means for the Story

The confirmation that Joy Boy and Davy Jones are separate figures reshapes the understanding of the Will of D. Rather than a singular legacy, the will may represent dual ideologies — one of liberation (Joy Boy) and one of vengeance or conquest (Davy Jones). This duality is reflected in the current generation through Luffy and Blackbeard, who embody opposing philosophies. The revelation also deepens the mystery surrounding Imu and the Void Century, setting the stage for a climactic ideological clash.

Chapter 1164 may be the most lore-heavy installment in recent memory.
