One Piece 1087: Revealing the True Identity of Luffy as God?
As fans of One Piece, many believe that Luffy is the embodiment of the sun god Nika. However, there is a hint in One Piece 1087 suggesting that Luffy is not the god they believed he was. So, who is Luffy really if he is not the sun god Nika?
Luffy is known as the sun god Nika due to the power of his devil fruit. During the final battle against Kaido at Onigashima, the Gorosei finally revealed the secret of Gomu Gomu no Mi devil fruit. It turns out that it was a fake name given by the World Government to hide the truth about Luffy’s power.
The actual name of the devil fruit of the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates is Mythical Zoan Hito Hito no Mi Model: Nika. As it belongs to Hito Hito no Mi and Mythical Zoan, it means that Luffy’s transformation will take the form of one of the mythological gods. However, if Luffy is truly the sun god, why didn’t he create the power of the sun to fight Kaido? Has Eiichiro Oda been deceiving us all along?
There is an interesting clue about Luffy, suggesting that he is not the sun god but the moon god. It was proven when he first used his Awakening. Luffy was seen leaping high in front of the moon. However, during the day when he fought Rob Lucci at Enies Lobby, he never jumped in front of the sun. Why is that?
The answer is simple – the world of One Piece is still in a “night” state as of now, until Void Century is revealed. Therefore, Luffy and Joy Boy are the light that will lead mankind out of the darkness of the night and towards dawn, as Roger and Pedro said in the past. Furthermore, Oda has not yet confirmed if Nika is the sun god. Even Luffy’s devil fruit, Model: Nika, does not indicate whether he is the sun god or another god.
In conclusion, the most recent episode of One Piece, One Piece 1087, sheds light on who Luffy is and whether he is truly the god that fans believed he was. While it is unclear who Luffy’s true identity is, the fact that he may be the moon god is intriguing. Nonetheless, fans still have to wait until the next chapter to find out the truth.
