The name of the ancient kingdom is..
While researching the sun god, I came across some things that I wanted to share with you. There may be many similarities between the ancient kingdom and the Inca Empire, but they are not exactly the same. It's possible that Oda adapted important events from Inca history into the story. Let's examine the possibilities.

Belief in the sun god was an important part of the Inca culture. We know that there are people in the OP world who believe in the sun god. The sun god is important in the OP world too.

Despite our limited knowledge of the Ancient Kingdom, we know that it was a highly advanced kingdom. The Incas were also in advance of their time.
The Incas themselves called their empire Tawantinsuyo (or Tahuantinsuyu) meaning 'Land of the Four Quarters' or 'The Four Parts Together'.
Before the sea level rose by 200 meters in the OP world, the landmass covered a much larger area. It's possible that locations that aren't currently connected by land in the past were connected.
It's possible that the ancient kingdom had four quarters: Wano, Elbaf, God Valley, and Laugh Tale.
The Incas had a place called the "Sacred Valley of the Incas", which is rich in food and natural resources. We have God Valley in OP, which is rich in resources.

The name Laugh Tale was given by Roger. My belief is that this was the capital city of the ancient kingdom
Oda tells us that Nika and Joy Boy are of Elbaf origin. This creates the perception that Joy Boy is something separate from the ancient kingdom. But as I explained above, Elbaf and the Ancient kingdom are connected.
I think Joyboy is the dynasty heir of the ancient kingdom. But he is fond of adventure and ruling the kingdom does not interest him. Like how Vivi wanted to go on adventures with Straw Hats.
So how could Joy Boy, someone who is not interested in ruling the kingdom, have participated in a war that lasted 100 years and, according to VP's words, is still ongoing ?
The cause of the war is the most important point and we do not know it; Let's make an inference by looking at the warring parties.

When we first saw Imu, even the gorosei knelt in front of him/her, making us curious about who he/she could be. Unexpectedly from Oda, Ivanko told us who Imu could be. Oda likes to keep mysteries. This was a suspiciously quick answer for Oda.

Could these words of Ivankov mislead us ? could Imu actually be someone else ? Among the Incas, there is someone whose name resembles Imu. his name is Willaq Umu.
The Sun God in Inca mythology was Inti, and the most important god amongst the pantheon the Inca people. this is why the most powerful priest in the empire was the high priest to the most revered god. The Willaq Umu were the High Priests of the Sun in the Inca Empire. They were usually the brothers of the Sapa Inca (the ruler of the empire) and most likely the second most powerful person in the entire empire. By the end of the empire, the high priest was also the field marshals in war for the emperor.
Based on this situation among the Incas, could Imu be Joyboy's brother ? Who has the ambition to rule the kingdom but cannot achieve this because he is not as loved/popular as Joyboy ? Tired of staying

in his brother's shadow.
When Imu realized that he could not succeed by natural means, could he have wanted to stage a coup to take over the ancient kingdom with the support of 20 kingdoms ? But with Joyboy's opposition, could this have turned into a 100-year war ? There are examples of this in world history.
This same situation might have occurred like this;
We know that the ancient kingdom was ahead of its time. At some point they may have wanted to elect who should rule the kingdom. And other kings may have been afraid that their own people might want this too, and they supported Imu's coup attempt. And with Joyboy's opposition, it may have turned into a big war.
This also fits Vegaspunk's description of the war as a clash of two ideologies that is still ongoing. Because revolutionaries continue to liberate kingdoms, and so do Luffy and his crew.

TL;DR:
Accompanied by these similarities of the Inca empire and the ancient kingdom, in this theory, I think that Oda named the ancient kingdom; The Sun Kingdom. Oda has the option to write this in either Japanese or Quechua, which is the language of the Incas.

If you have read this far, thank you very much. I would like to hear your thoughts on the subject. It was enjoyable to contemplate how the events in the OP could have been inspired by events that took place in real life.

The One Piece is.......a Jolly Roger.
We now know from Vegapunk that Joyboy was the first to be known as a pirate. Going by the attitude of the WG today towards the pirates, the 20 kings and Imu would have done all in their power to defeat Joyboy both at war as well as his ideology of being the freest man on the seas. The most symbolic way to do the latter would be to burn his flag or the Jolly Roger in this case.
I believe that while they were successful in defeating him, as evidenced by the fact that Imu apparently has Joyboy's straw hat as a trophy, they were not able to erase his ideology as we still have pirates today. What I think happened was that they were able to destroy Joyboy's ship in the war but were not able to burn/destroy his Jolly Roger. So while the ship was destroyed, "one piece" of it remained and thus the name of the "treasure" as it symbolizes all that pirates live for. And that is what Imu and the WG hate so much and are doing everything they can to prevent today's pirates from getting their hands on.
During the run up to Laugh Tale, maybe the Strawhat pirates' Jolly Roger would be damaged by the WG and when Luffy returns from Laugh Tale, he is now flying Joyboy's Jolly Roger along with his own much to the chagrin of Imu and the WG. And that could be a flag that the entire alliance against the WG could rally to during the final war.
Judging by the fact that Luffy has inherited both his fruit and his will, if Joyboy also "designed" his own Jolly Roger then it should be something wacky like the Strawhat's Jolly Roger which would explain why Roger laughed.
