Key Figures of the Void Century

• Joy Boy: The first person to be called a “pirate” from the Great Kingdom. He left a letter of apology to the mermaid princess on a Poneglyph, indicating a broken promise with Fish-Man Island. It is said that someone will eventually come to fulfill this promise in Joy Boy’s stead.
• Zunisha: The giant elephant that has lived for over a thousand years, carrying the land of Zou on its back. Zunisha is cursed to walk endlessly due to a crime committed long ago.
• Emet: A giant iron figure created 900 years ago, which suddenly appeared in Mariejois 200 years ago and attacked the Holy Land. It was stored in Egghead but was activated by Nika’s “Drum of Liberation,” confirming its connection to Joy Boy.
• The Mermaid Princess: The mermaid princess at the time of Joy Boy, likely the ancient weapon “Poseidon.” She is also the mother of Momonosuke and Hiyori, and was born around 800 years ago.
• Toki: The wife of Kozuki Oden, who used the powers of the Toki Toki no Mi to travel to the future. She was 26 years old 30 years ago and died in front of the burning Oden Castle 20 years ago.
