Theory regarding Emeth - I think he climbed the Red Line 200 years ago to protect the Mermain Princess of the time, mistaking her for Poseidon.

Here's my reasoning: Both Vegapunk and now Saturn have wondered what powers the robot. Vegapunk couldn't figure out its source, while Saturn asked himself why did it was dormant for 200 years. From our reader's perspective, we know Emeth woke up after hearing the drums of liberation, but I don't think it's the drums themselves that necessarily powered it up. It can't be, because Luffy is the first to awaken the Nika fruit since Joy Boy, so there needs to be a different explination for why Emeth awoke 200 years ago to attack the Holy Land and why awaken now.

My guess is that Emeth is always on, he just chooses to remain dormant. Probably from the shame of having failed Joy Boy in the past. It was only when he thought his friend was back that he chose to wake up. The same thing must have happened 200 years ago with another one of Joy Boy's companions -- the mermaid princess.

We know 200 years ago is when the Fishman and Merfolk were allowed to attend the Reverie for the first time and lose the classification of "fish", although the racism remained. Why at that point in time, after 600 years of oppression? Likely because Imu wanted to make a play at obtaining Posiedon. We know the power reawakens in a mermaid princess "every couple hundred years" but we don't have exact insight on the frequency of it's reincarnation. It's entirely possible princesses are born with the potential of unlocking the power, but never do.

We do know however that the Sea Kings grow restless when their queen is close to birth. So here's my theory: 200 years ago, a mermaid princess was born with the potential of unlocking the powers of Posiedon and the Sea Kings rejoiced. Imu, who I'm speculating can freely control the Voice of all Things (explains his telepathy with the Gorosei) heard them talk and decided to allow the merfolk to join the Reverie in an attempt to capture her. Emeth I'm speculating was deep underwater at this time, sleeping dormant. After the Void Century war, he fell in the ocean as the continents sank and he remained there until one day, also using the VoaT, he overhear the Sea Kings talking about their queen attending the Reverie.

Emeth, misunderstanding her for the original Posiedon and thinking one his old friends is still alive, makes the climb and attacks the Holy Land to protect her, only to learn this mermain princess hasn't, nor ever will awaken Posiedon's power. So Emeth just stops attacking, waiting dormant again until the same thing happens 200 years later, on Egghead with Luffy whom he mistakes this time as Joy Boy.

Why wouldn’t Emeth wake up when Shirahoshi was in trouble at this Reverie, or at any point when she was constantly being attacked by Vander Decken then?

I think it's way more logical for Emeth to be a time traveller. Even Saturn say "it's futur" 200years ago, he looks exactly as VEGAFORCE1, he use knot for haki like weatheria for wind, which is not an ancestral knowledge according to them.

I'm more and more convinced that Luffy is Joy boy, that we are in a temporal loophole, and that we have more than one timeline in one piece.

If it's all true, then Luffy already back in time, fail to win the war, leave instruction to make slightly change in the futur (AKA PONEGLYPHE), announce that he will be back in centuries and this time will win.

That make sens for Toka, going in the futur to find him. Also, Oda love to make opposite DF, so if Toka can go to the futur, we can imagine one of the fruit allow people to go in the past.

The flashback of Joy Boy and Emeth is actually a part of a whole other dimension, the one where Luffy loose (he lost an arm, a leg, and must have an eye patch), and it's not exactly the joy boy Emeth knew.

Well, it's a bit difficult to get it, but it all make sens at the end, at least for me.
