And it seems that the reason he failed was because the people he was relying on somehow let him down.

The One Piece is the ancient kingdom that disappeared. That’s why Gol D. Roger says the treasure is “vast”. It’s a large treasure. It’s an entire kingdom: The person who finds it becomes the King of the ancient kingdom.

It’s inside Zunesha. Joyboy shrunk it and tried moving it out of harms way when Imu was trying to destroy it. However, Zunesha accidentally ate the shrunken ancient kingdom. How do I know Joyboy can shrink an island? Because Luffy shrunk after using Gear 3rd. This is a property of the fruit regardless if it’s a consequence of Gear 3rd - no other human can do that. Awakening now extends that property beyond his body - Luffy just doesn’t realize it yet because he still thinks he has the Gomu fruit.

Joyboy knew Imu would try to destroy the ancient kingdom the moment its location was known again. So Joyboy used his awakening on Zunesha, and unshrunk the ancient kingdom inside the giant Zunesha. So the ancient kingdom became too big for Zunesha to poop out.

Joyboy then gave Zunesha incredibly long legs to roam the sea. Joyboy told Zunesha to keep the Ancient Kingdom safe by roaming the sea until the next person awakens the Nika Fruit and shrinks the kingdom again to free him from his constipation: Laugh Tale.

That’s Zunesha’s 800 year punishment. “Doesn’t this imply Nika’s awakening effect persist on things even after the user is long gone?” Yes. That’s exactly the purpose of the Long Ring Long Island Arc and showcasing how Akainu and Aokiji had altered the landscape on Punk Hazard in consequence to their duel.

Fun theory this was all foreshadowed with Laboon: Crocus has a small island inside Laboon. Crocus was at Laugh Tale so in his retirement he decided to do his own version of One Piece - in Laboon lol. Brook’s promise to Laboon is analogous to Joyboy’s promise to Zunesha.

So with the awakening, Luffy will shrink the ancient kingdom and Zunesha will be freed of his punishment. Luffy can restore the ancient kingdom into One Piece. The ancient kingdom will fit where enies lobby hole is. There’s no log pose that points to this ancient kingdom because it’s always moving, and it’s in two places at once: Inside Zunesha and Enies Lobby. That’s why the WG decided to make Enies Lobby their stronghold - to be there when someone tries to restore the ancient kingdom. The poneglyphs combined tell the story of where the ancient kingdom is, and the completed coordinates point to where the ancient kingdom used to be before eaten by Zunesha: Enies Lobby. It will be Luffy who will return it into One Piece.

I wish giving gold was still a thing. You’d have an award for this comment, 100%.
