The legend of One Piece and One Piece begins with the famous Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. And even though many have tried to do so, Monkey D. Luffy seems to be the one destined to follow Roger's legacy and become the next Pirate King in Eiichiro Oda's storytelling world. But, while it may be the most famous and important, the legend of the One Piece treasure is certainly not the only relevant legend in the story. Namely, recent events in Wano Country have revealed that Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi is actually the legendary Hito Hito no Mi, model: Nika, who gave Luffy the powers of the mythical Sun God Nika. Now that there are obvious similarities between Luffy and Nika, based on the little information we have about the deity, fans are wondering if Luffy is now a mythical Sun God, and we will use this article to provide you with an explanation. answer to this question.

Monkey D. Luffy himself is not the mythical Sun God Nika, but he gained Nika's powers after unlocking the true nature of his Devil Fruit; namely, it turned out that Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi is actually the legendary Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, which gave Luffy the powers of the legendary Sun God, but this of course did not transform him into a god.

The rest of this article will focus on the theory that Luffy is actually the mythical Sun God Nika in One Piece. We revealed all the relevant information in our brief response. In the rest of the article, we will expand on this information by providing you with all the relevant information and our analysis of the facts. Of course, if you are not fully up to date on the most recent events in the manga, we must warn you that spoilers will be present in the article.

Nika was an important figure in the history of Oda history.

The world of Oda's One Piece series is strange, but it's one of the most interesting fictional worlds ever created. Now, Oda did include some deities in his world, but unlike Bleach or Naruto, these weren't very present in the story and were, more or less, unimportant in the series. Now, that changed in Wano Country when Oda revealed new information about the true nature of Luffy's Devil Fruit, the famous Gomu Gomu no Mi, which has been part of the story since the first chapter of the manga.

Namely, the events of Wano Country saw Luffy activate Gear 5. However, he also discovered the true nature of his Devil Fruit, which turned out to be the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, a legendary Devil Fruit, rather than the original Gomu Gomu no Mi. The new powers he received made him so ridiculously strong that he easily defeated Kaidou in the most important fight of the saga, after which Luffy replaced him as a Yonko.

Now, with all of this, Nika was introduced as the Sun God in Oda's lore, which was a strange addition, given how the One Piece world is generally structured. But, with Luffy gaining the powers of a god, we feel it's important to actually explain who Nika is in the One Piece story.

Nika was a legendary and mythical warrior woman once worshipped by some slaves as the Sun God. The first mention of Nika was made by Who's-Who, who was incarcerated at the time and learned the story from a prison guard. According to the figure we saw in the series, Nika appears as a dancing figure with flame-like hair and a loincloth. From what has been revealed, he holds both a sword and a spear. Nika is described as a bold and friendly character in Who's-Who's version of the tale, who befriends some slaves.

It was believed that Nika, who had the power to make slaves smile, would one day appear and free them from their oppressive masters. According to legend, Nika was a great fighter. As mentioned above, his silhouette depicts him holding a sword and spear. He is described as a "white" and "liberating" warrior who makes everyone laugh with his pranks and who will only leave when people need him. Because they believed he would one day free them, slaves worshipped Nika for a very long time. However, Nika may or may not have actually existed.

Who's-Who, a former member of the CP9 organization who had been imprisoned, was, as mentioned, told the legend of Nika by one of the guards at the prison where he had been held. Who began praying to Nika, hoping to find solace in his own pain. When Who's-Who realized that the same prison guard who had told him about the legend had suddenly disappeared, he believed that the legend was not meant to be shared and that the World Government or some other party had done something to the guard.

He then fled prison to avoid the same fate now that he knew who Nika was. Who's-Who mentioned Nika to Jinbe during their argument because he believed the Fish-Man race were slaves and was curious about folklore. Instead of answering Who's-Who, Jinbe got angry and beat him with his Fish-Man Karate after comparing Fish-Man to a slave.

Luffy gaining the powers of a god does not mean he himself is a god (especially since Nika was not actually a god)

Now that we've introduced you to Nika and explained who he was, we can finally answer the main question of this article: Has Luffy now become a Sun God? The first relevant fact we must reiterate here is that Nika himself was not a deity. Indeed, as we've explained, Nika was simply an abolitionist warrior who, at one point, was worshipped as a deity by those he had liberated.

He has always been just an ordinary human, but his actions have led some to treat him like a deity. This is why Luffy is not a deity, just as the person whose powers he supposedly possesses is not a deity. Yet, it seems, he possesses divine or godlike powers.

As things stand, it seems that these gods' abilities are mysteriously locked away in a small group of unique Devil Fruits, and their respective owners can unlock them. Now, we don't know if this is true at the moment, but if it is, we don't know if the people who possess these Devil Fruits, if anyone possesses them, are aware of their true nature.

Fans speculate that Blackbeard could be the God of Earth, Admiral Aramaki could be the God of the Forest, and Monkey D. Dragon or Vivi could be the God of Rain. However, as we've already said, this is all just conjecture, and fans don't exactly have a good track record when it comes to One Piece, as Oda manages to surprise everyone at every turn.

What is certain is that Luffy has inherited Nika's abilities. Intensely powerful after fusing his Devil Fruit abilities with Gear 5, Luffy uses his new "godly" abilities to destroy Kaido, leaving his fate hanging in the balance. However, does all this imply that he is now a god? Well, no. Luffy never actually underwent a transformation.

He's still the same human child who, out of anger, ate a piece of Devil Fruit that Shanks had stolen and now aspires to become the Pirate King. Nothing has changed with Luffy, and the fact that he actually possesses the abilities of the Sun God has no bearing on who he is. It demonstrates that he is not a deity. But he could be considered a "deity," although this is a purely symbolic interpretation and has no real implications.
