As a long-time fan of One Piece, I can’t help but feel a thrill running down my spine as we delve deeper into this captivating tale. The land of Elbaf, a place where dreams and legends intertwine, has finally come to light. And who would have thought that our beloved Straw Hat Pirates would find themselves entangled in the web of the mysterious Sun God?


This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sun God is a significant deity in Elbaf and is not who they seem to be.
  • Luffy and the Straw Hats may befriend Elbaf’s Sun God in future chapters.

Following a two-week hiatus, One Piece is back with a bang, as anticipated, the action and exploration of the early stages of the Elbaf Arc carry on. In the previous installment, viewers were given a glimpse into one half of the Straw Hat Pirates traversing a city resembling Lego, which was thought to be close to Elbaf. However, this chapter introduces yet another intriguing twist to the narrative.

As a devoted fan, I was thrilled when the latest chapter delved deeper into the enigma surrounding Elbaf’s Sun God, a character hinted at in the previous narrative. Now, I’ve finally laid eyes on this intriguing figure myself! There’s so much to ponder about this character, and I can hardly wait to see where their story leads.

The Significance Of The Sun God In Elbaf

  • The Sun God Is Worshiped in Elbaf
  • Luffy Is The Current Sun God

As a devoted gamer delving into the captivating world of One Piece, it’s hard to deny that the Sun God stands tall among the divine pantheon of Elbaf. It’s no secret that the colossal inhabitants of this land have long revered the Sun God as their primary deity. This fact was vividly demonstrated during the Whole Cake Island Arc, when Mother Carmel managed to quell a rebellion merely by invoking the name of the Sun God and summoning Prometheus, a sun-like Homie, to mislead the people. It was plain as day for us viewers that the Sun God carries immense importance in Elbaf. This significance became even more apparent during the Egghead Island arc, when Vegapunk’s message made it clear that the Sun God hails from Elbaf and that all tales about him originated from this very land. What’s more, these stories predate Joy Boy, making the Sun God a legendary figure whose existence or non-existence is shrouded in the mists of time. To top it off, even Dory and Broggy recognized Luffy when he transformed into his Nika form, proclaiming that he bore an uncanny resemblance to the Sun God himself.

The Sun God calmed the situation and brought about a miracle!

It’s evident to the fans that the Sun Deity holds great importance in Elbaf, and they worship this deity more than any other. They understand that the Sun Deity brings peace, laughter, and joy, which is why the character recently introduced in One Piece chapter 1128 will likely be significant in future events. Of course, as we saw in the previous chapter, this new character appears intriguing, wielding a shield and spear, somewhat reminiscent of how Sun Deity Nika was illustrated by Oda earlier. However, it’s crucial to remember that the Sun Deity seen in One Piece chapter 1128 is not literal, but rather a character or symbol.

In a different phrasing: Contrary to popular belief, the Sun Deity of Elbaf might not be the genuine divine entity. Instead, fans argue that the true Sun God must possess the power of the Devil Fruit, Nika Model Nika, activated. However, there exists another theory. Some could speculate that maybe the Sun Deity is a title in Elbaf bestowed upon someone as a tribute to the god. Yet, this notion seems implausible. If the Sun God is revered and worshipped like no other deity in Elbaf, it wouldn’t make sense for the people of Elbaf to treat it as just an assigned position given out to anyone. Instead, it appears more likely that this Sun God is someone who admires and emulates the deity so profoundly that they chose to embody him in real life.

The Sun God is angry! Run!

It’s evident to fans that the ‘Sun God’ character isn’t in the land of Elbaf, as previously confirmed by Oda. The Straw Hat Pirates, including Luffy and his crew, have all expressed a desire to visit Elbaf. Therefore, it can be concluded that they, along with the self-proclaimed Sun God, are not on Elbaf but rather aboard a ship.

It’s quite possible that the Straw Hat ship encountered a peculiar entity resembling a Sun God, who might have found the straw hats and transported them to the fictional realm they had constructed on their vessel. It seems plausible that this is an activity they occasionally engage in, dating back for years. One could speculate that this Sun God enjoys assuming divine powers by crafting miniature realities populated by humans like Luffy and the Strawhats. This theory might account for the numerous animal deities found within the fabricated world they recently managed to escape from.

In this world, this person aims to embody the spirit of the Sun Deity, spreading cheerfulness and merriment to all. This intent is evident in the unique society they’ve fostered within their mini-universe, one that allows people to live freely as they choose. The sun shield and spear they bear are symbols of their admiration for the Sun Deity, indicating their aspiration to mirror his qualities. However, it’s important to note that this person is not intending to literally become the Sun Deity.

It’s intriguing to consider that this character aspires to embody a sun deity, which could lead to some fascinating interactions with Luffy further on. For now, he’s hot on the trail of the Straw Hat Pirates who are trying to evade him. Once they manage to slip away, it will become apparent to him that Luffy is none other than the real Sun God. This revelation could forge a powerful connection between them and propel the storyline in various engaging directions.

Currently, it seems that Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirate allies are poised to avoid capture by the recently appearing Sun God in the narrative. However, upon their escape, a showdown may transpire where Luffy deploys Gear 5, leaving the Sun God astounded. It’s likely during this encounter they will discover that this being is indeed the true Sun God, making for an intriguing revelation. Additionally, it’s plausible that the remaining members of the Straw Hat Pirates could stumble upon the vessel of the Giant Sun God from Elbaf and piece together the events surrounding their comrades.

When this event unfolds, it’s likely that Dorry and Brogy will help reveal Luffy’s true identity to the individual, potentially sparking a friendship amidst the ocean near Elbaf. In turn, readers can expect Luffy and the entire crew to journey towards Elbaf, promising an exciting adventure. For now, all we can do is wait and appreciate the ongoing chase in the upcoming One Piece chapter, hoping for even more intrigue ahead.
