As a fan of One Piece, you may know the significance of Monkey D. Luffy’s latest acquisition, Dewa Matahari Nika, also known as the Sun God Nika. The power of this legendary fighter was once owned by Joy Boy and will potentially play a critical role in future One Piece storylines. But who exactly is Dewa Matahari Nika? Let’s unravel the mysteries of this intriguing new character.
Dewa Matahari Nika was first introduced in One Piece chapter 1018 and is a renowned fighter who many consider to be almost saintly. According to Who’s Who, in the ancient world of One Piece, Nika was worshipped as a god. Slaves in the world of One Piece were his friends and he was known for bringing smiles and laughter during their difficult and trying times. However, Nika’s legend involves more than just spreading joy and happiness.
The popular belief amongst the people of One Piece’s ancient world is that Nika would ultimately free all slaves and protect them from those who would harm them, freeing them in the process. This legend became so popular that slaves would pray to Nika from generation to generation. Even today, the legend of Nika is essential to slaves, as evidenced when Who’s Who starts praying to him while imprisoned by the World Government after failing to protect the Gomu Gomu no Mi.
Joy Boy, the former owner of the power, had the same vision as Nika and is also tied to the current storyline of One Piece. Nika possesses a unique appearance, with body parts that appear like noodles. From the silhouette seen in the manga, Nika looks very similar to Luffy. From the quirky hairstyle to the flexible body, Nika has many resemblances to Luffy. Additionally, Nika was a legendary fighter, always ready to help free slaves from oppressors and bringing them joy. These characteristics have some similarities with Luffy, who has liberated people wherever he goes and put a smile on their faces.
There is no doubt that Dewa Matahari Nika will assume a decisive role in the future of One Piece. Even though he is not too relevant to the current plot, fans know that nothing in One Piece is coincidence. In the Skypiea arc, Luffy becomes aligned with the Sun God, and the people of Shandia and potentially Skypiean worship the Sun God. These connections and similarities lead us to believe that Nika will play a crucial role in future events.
In the end, the new addition of Dewa Matahari Nika adds an extra layer of mystery and intrigue to the already vast world of One Piece. It builds hype around future events and raises questions of how different characters from Nika’s era, like Joy Boy, will play a part, and what plans Oda has for these characters. The world of One Piece is full of surprises, and we can only look forward to what’s coming next.
