Since Boogey and Woogey's introduction in Little Garden-Arc, One Piece fans were firmly convinced that the straw hats would sail in the course of history to the home of the two giant warriors. With the introduction to the current Elban Arc, the time has finally come.
The island of Elban has a long history that goes back to the empty century and has a close connection to the legendary sun god “Nika”, the heir of which is still continued by the giants to this day.Since there is hardly anything known about Nika, the Elban Arc is perfect for revealing the large mystery to reveal and clarify what it has to do with Joyboy, Luffy and the giants.
The history of the sun god Nika could finally be uncovered
Nika is seen as a mystical warrior in the world of One Piece and, moreover, is revered by Elban's residents for centuries. Unfortunately there is hardly any information about the legendary warrior, since all records about him have disappeared. Elban is the only place where Nika's inheritance is carried on and its ideals are continued. Their culture, their desire for strength and freedom agree with the values of the legendary sun god at the time.
Nika already existed before the empty century, in which Joyboy, the very first pirate and an important figure in One Piece history, was considered a kind of successor or heritage of the legendary sun god. Since the bouquetors were hunted by the government to extermination, the giant warriors on Elban are the only people who still know from the legendary sun god Nika.
Joyboys, Lokis and Luffy's connection to Nika
Towards the end of the Egghead Arc, Boogey and Woogey Ruffys Gear 5-conversion form called Nika and thus also it as their sun god. Eiichiro Oda could already have indicated in a way that the current Elban Arc Nika's origin and the truth about the legendary sun god are revealed.
After all, the island of the giant warriors, on which the straw hats have now landed, with its strong and close connection to Nika, the perfect setting for the great unveiling about the true history of the legendary warrior would be. Perhaps even the already arranged connection between Luffy and Joyboy to Nika and Loki's homemade sun god title will be unveiled.
How are your theories about the sun god Nika and why, do you think Loki imagined as a sun god?
