The One Piece is a tangible bubble containing all the memories – and the joy – of Joy Boy. There is something invaluable stored in Laugh Tale, something even more important than the erased history, something that could not have been passed to the future thanks to the Poneglyph: it is the ancient joy. Similarly to how Vegapunk stored Kuma memories (and pain), the Ancient Kingdom stored Joy Boy’s tangible memories (and joy) to be passed to the future.
Let me explain:
- 1) Nefertari D.Lili had the Paw-Paw Fruit and was allied with the Ancient Kingdom;
- 2) The Ancient Kingdom had advanced science that enables the Paw-Paw Fruit user to store memories, pain, … and also joy … giving it “a physical form”;
- 3) They realized they were about to be defeated by the nascent World Government, so they created the Poneglyph to pass their history to the future;
- 4) They also realized they could pass something even more important: they could pass joy to the future: Joy Boy’s joy (and memories).
Detailed explanation:
1) Nefertari D.Lili had the Paw-Paw Fruit.
- According to Imu (ch. 1085) Nefertari D.Lili “scattered all over the world” the Poneglyph in only one “fateful day“.
- But how Lili was able to “scatter” those 30 Poneglyph in such a short time? Thanks to the Paw-Paw Fruit.
2) The Ancient Kingdom had advanced science that enables the Paw-Paw Fruit user to store memories, pain, … and also joy … giving it “a physical form”.
- According to Vegapunk “the power can take something intangible like pain and give it a physical form” and “you can even transfer it to others … things like imagination and memories” and – I assume – joy.
- How Vegapunk enables that? Thanks to “advance science“. Who else had advanced science? The Ancient Kingdom. Specifically, Shaka says “a civilization not unlike Egghead when it comes to technology“.
3) They realized they were about to be defeated by the nascent World Government, so they created the Poneglyph to pass their history to the future.
- Professor Clover stated: “Engraving this history onto unbreakable stones and scattering them all over the world … is it because they thought that if they’d written it on paper or in books, the message would have been destroyed …“
- and “when they realized they were about to be defeated by … the world government … they engraved all the facts onto the stones in order to pass on their ideas“.
- The Ancient Kingdom had both the WILL and the TOOLS to pass their ideas to the future, to not be erased by the World Government.
4) They also realized they could pass something even more important: they could pass joy to the future: Joy Boy’s joy (and memories).
- The people from the Ancient Kingdom wrote on the Poneglyph, mainly their History. Their History was already secured to be passed to the future thanks to the Poneglyph.
- But they also left four Poneglyphs with the detail to locate Laugh Tale. Why? Isn’t their history already stored in the other Poneglyphs? What else they needed to store there to be transmitted?
- What Roger pirates learned in Laugh Tale: “About the Void Century”, “The meaning of the D. name”, “The Ancient Weapons”, and “That Wano had connected in the world in the past”. All of this is history and could have easily been stored in the History Poneglyph.
- But then “He laughed”.
Conclusion:
There is something invaluable stored in LaughTale, something even more important than the erased history, something that could not have been passed to the future thanks to the Poneglyph: it is the ancient joy. Similarly to how Vegapunk stored Kuma memories (and pain), the Ancient Kingdom stored Joy Boy’s tangible memories (and joy) to be passed to the future.
