In the latest chapter of One Piece 1085, Eiichiro Oda once again showcases the storyline in the Egghead arc. The chapter shows Luffy entering the God Nika mode to strike down the Seraphim. In the past, Luffy’s God Nika has been unbeatable after he defeated Kaido and an agent of CP0, Lucci. This power is said to be similar to that of Joy Boy, who was known to have been a user of the Devil Fruit’s God Nika before Luffy. It has been assumed that Joy Boy had awakened his power like Mugiwara. However, the power of Dewa Nika has already been stopped and caused Joy Boy’s defeat.
If Joy Boy was the liberation knight who was defeated by the union of the 20 Kingdoms in the past, there is a possibility that Luffy will face the same fate. Luffy’s God Nika power could be stopped by the force of the same 20 Kingdoms, which have now become the World Government. The World Government is the only group that knows the weakness of the God Nika power that Luffy now possesses. Although Eiichiro Oda will not let Luffy die because he is the main character of One Piece, he could use this situation to make Luffy use his God Nika power to its fullest to defeat his enemies.
Fans have speculated that Luffy and Joy Boy may be the same person due to their similar powers. However, Eiichiro Oda has not confirmed this theory. Although the power of the God Nika has been shown, we still do not know about the events of the Void Century, including the fall of Ancient Kingdoms, and what caused such a powerful warrior of freedom like Joy Boy to die.
In conclusion, One Piece 1085 showcased the power of Dewa Nika, which has become the power of Luffy. His power, however, can be stopped by the World Government’s knowledge of the weakness of the God Nika power. It remains uncertain if Luffy will face the same fate as Joy Boy or if the two are the same person. Only time will tell, and it will be exciting to see what Eiichiro Oda has in store for us in the future chapters of One Piece.
