by

Unexpectedly, delving into Kuma’s past in One Piece has become an incredible gold mine of information! Not only does it shed light on the God Valley Incident, but it also uncovers intriguing details about Sun God Nika. Remarkably, his father, who is part of the same Buccaneer clan as Kuma, reveals that tales of Nika have been passed down through generations within our pirate crew. The mystery surrounding Sun God Nika deepens, and it’s becoming clearer than ever that Luffy’s Nika powers and the origins of his devil fruit will play a pivotal role in the second half of the Egghead Arc and the Final Saga of One Piece as a whole!

In addition to unveiling a new group known as the Buccaneers, Episode 1129 of One Piece delves deeper into the mythology surrounding Sun God Nika, the enigmatic figure that Luffy’s devil fruit is based on. Throughout this episode, Kuma’s father shares the tale of Sun God Nika with a young Kuma, offering hope that the liberator will arrive and set him free at sea. The story also highlights how Nika’s laughter and rhythm bring joy to others, with Kuma’s father mimicking Nika’s drumbeat. A flashback from the same episode shows Kuma using Nika’s beat and dance to comfort a young Bonney, suggesting that we will learn more about Nika’s significance in relation to Kuma in future episodes.

One Piece Continues to Prove Gear Five and Nika’s Importance

When the truth about Gear Five and Luffy’s devil fruit was unveiled in Wano during the course of One Piece, many viewers were taken aback as it seemed unexpected. At that time, all we knew was that Nika was a legendary figure among slaves, and Luffy was the first to awaken a devil fruit in centuries. Although this suggested a bit of Luffy becoming the typical “chosen one”, there was still hope that he wouldn’t follow this trope. However, the disclosure that the World Government had long sought the Nika Fruit hinted that Luffy’s role would be far greater than initially expected, whether he and fans wanted it or not.

The Egghead Storyline has consistently emphasized the significance of Nika, suggesting a possible link between her and the ancient Iron Giant on the island. Recent episodes have also shown how the legend of Nika has impacted numerous lives, enhancing her legacy, which Luffy is now compelled to maintain. Therefore, it’s likely that the Sun God Nika will remain pivotal in the Egghead Arc and possibly future arcs as the series delves deeper into the enigma surrounding this lasting myth. In simpler terms, the story is gradually revealing more about Nika, hinting at a connection to the Iron Giant, and her influence on various characters, particularly Luffy, who must carry on her legacy in the upcoming chapters of One Piece.

One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll and Netflix.
