As One Piece progresses deeper into its Final Saga, fans are eagerly anticipating some long-awaited answers to their persistent questions. However, with significant disclosures such as the Ancient Mural of Elbaf and the Harley Texts, it appears that each new revelation only sparks more inquiries among the community. This is particularly true for a key character in the series who seems to be missing from the latest developments in One Piece’s Elbaf Arc so far.

As I stand here, I find myself drawn to the enigmatic figure before me – none other than the legendary Sea Emperor, Blackbeard. Shrouded in mystery, his origins remain elusive, and his ultimate intentions are still a matter of conjecture. In the unfolding Final Saga of “One Piece,” speculation swirls around his role. Some ardent fans posit that this character could be a bloodline heir to the Sun God Nika, serving as one of the Sun God’s halves, counterparts to Luffy in some way.

One Piece’s Sun God Nika Has Multiple Sides

A Side Of Liberation And A Side Of Destruction

In the contemporary saga of One Piece, as we delve into the Elbaf Arc, spectators were acquainted with the Kingdom of Elbaf’s perspective on the Sun God Nika. Notably, the beliefs within this giant society are diverse regarding this figure. Some consider Nika a deity symbolizing joy and liberation, while others perceive Nika as a deity embodying destruction. Consequently, numerous fans have hypothesized that, given the divided beliefs about the Sun God Nika, there might be multiple genuine Sun God Nika Devil Fruits; one reflecting liberation, the other symbolizing destruction.

And I’ll be the king! Blackbeard Kingdom! How does that sound? – Blackbeard

Regarding Blackbeard from “One Piece,” he’s got an intense fascination with acquiring potent Devil Fruits. This obsession is key to his grand scheme within the series. Similarly intriguing is how Blackbeard was inexplicably captivated by the Dark-Dark Fruit, so much so that he killed a fellow crewmate for it. This peculiar behavior has led many “One Piece” fans to view him as an enigmatic figure, particularly when it comes to the lore of Devil Fruits.

Blackbeard Could Have A Nika-Related Devil Fruit

The Dark-Dark Fruit Could Have A Unique Awakening

Nika Could Be Related To The Dark-Dark Fruit
The D. Clan Could Also Relate Back To Nika

It’s plausible that some people think Loki owns the hypothesized second Sun God Nika Devil Fruit, but it could also be in Blackbeard’s possession. Many fans speculate that when the Dark-Dark Fruit is awakened, it might transform into the form of the Sun God Nika, symbolizing destruction, similar to Luffy’s fruit. However, this theory delves deeper as well, suggesting that the Sun God Nika could take on a different form entirely.

As a part of the D. clan, Blackbeard has always stood out from the rest due to his unconventional behavior compared to the heroic and honest members usually associated with this group. The pirate known as Blackbeard often questions his own belonging among them, given their possible divine ancestry from the Sun God Nika. If it’s true that all D. clan members are connected to the Sun God in some way, either metaphorically or literally, then Blackbeard’s role within the group and the dynamics of the entire group would become clearer.

If The D Clan Is Related To Nika It Explains Blackbeard’s Role In The Group

This Would Explain His Interesting Position Among More Heroic Characters

In essence, if Blackbeard and other members of the D. Clan are descendants of Nika, it provides a plausible explanation for the moral diversity within their group. This diversity is reflected in characters who embody either the principles of Nika’s two aspects: liberation, as seen in characters like Luffy and Ace; or destruction, exemplified by Blackbeard himself. The duality of these D. Clan members mirrors the two sides that have been shown among the Elbaf giants thus far.

A man’s dream will never die! – Blackbeard

Currently, there isn’t much evidence to back up this theory about One Piece’s Nika having two halves and Blackbeard being a descendant. However, if true, it could provide an intriguing parallel between Blackbeard and Luffy within the storyline, and also set an engaging stage for the series finale. Regardless of Blackbeard’s part in One Piece’s Final Saga, it’s certain that Oda will come up with a twist that will leave fans astonished.
