Many believed that Joy Boy was the most notable figure during this time, as he stood against Imu during the Void Century. While this is true to some degree, there is another character who was once easily on par with Joy Boy in terms of influence. That individual was once an even greater threat to Imu, and fans know that individual to be none other than Davy D. Jones.

Davy D. Jones Is A Character From 800 Years Ago

He Is Part Of Pirate Culture

  • He was Introduced In Early Days Of One Piece
  • Davy Jones Was Very Influential

Davy Jones was mentioned back in the Long Ring Long Land Arc by Foxy, but back then, it felt like the character wasn't of any significant value. That all changed when Davy Jones was mentioned in the most recent flashback, where it was revealed that he was a very prominent individual who once roamed the seas in the Void Century. His legacy was such that the World Government did everything to erase his name from history.

But, still, he lived on through different avenues and still remained a figure of the past that only a few knew about. The reason behind his disappearance is unknown, but seemingly, he was so influential that he was worshiped by many people, one of whom is Davy D. Xebec. Xebec was the one who revealed his true name and the reason why he hid it from the world. Simply put, it was because he wanted to protect himself and the family that he held so dear to him.

Davy Jones's origins date back to the Void Century, as he was said to be a pirate 800 years ago. It is said that he was banished by a demon to the bottom of the sea. His influence was such that they tried their best to remove his name from the world. His family, on the other hand, was hunted by his enemies so much so that they had to change their name in order for them to survive this ordeal. They did survive the onslaught of the World Government and settled down in God Valley for a very long time. But, they met their demise when their secret was somehow revealed to Figarland Garling, which led to the eradication of the Davy Clan.

Imu Feared Davy Jones And His Bloodline

The Davy Clan Was Destroyed Without A Trace

Imu, the supreme ruler of the world, was indeed very terrified that Davy Clan still existed. They did everything in their power to kill every member of this clan, as they feared the blood of Davy Jones within their veins. It was a very unnatural thing to see a D clan getting eradicated from existence with such hatred, which is unheard of in One Piece. This shows how much of a threat they posed to Imu's rule and how much potential each one of them had. Even after this massacre, Imu destroyed the entire island, leaving no trace of the Davy behind.

The fear runs even deeper now, with Imu realizing that Blackbeard managed to survive. They recently had the photo of Blackbeard during their initial reveal, and it is clear that Imu holds a grudge towards him. Blackbeard, right now, is a very powerful character who holds the power that can rival even the strongest individuals that exist in the world of One Piece. Furthermore, he is after One Piece as well, which makes him a very prominent threat to Imu, similarly to Luffy. There are many other things Blackbeard knows that are unknown to many, like how he was able to eat two Devil Fruits, along with much more. Even though Davy D. Jones and his clan have tasted defeat, Blackbeard will be the one who will carry on the legacy of his father and ancestors.
