Two Nika Fruits: The Hidden Truth Behind World Destruction in One Piece

by

Summary

  • The Elbaf mural in One Piece Chapter 1138 reveals key details about previous worlds and the Nika fruit.
  • Luffy and Loki both possess Sun God Nika Devil Fruits, hinting at a connection to world destructions.
  • The mural suggests a final battle between Nika users and a dark foe, sparking theories of the story’s ultimate villain.

Among the significant disclosures in the Elbaf arc of “One Piece,” none has been as pivotal for the overall narrative development as the ancient mural carved on the Adam Tree. In chapter 1138 of the manga, readers were given their first glimpse of this mural, leading many to declare it as the most impressive chapter in the series since the final spread presented an unprecedented amount of lore, even though it left more questions unanswered than it resolved.

A significant part of this mural connects to the past realms of “One Piece,” hinted at earlier in the storyline. While details about these worlds are scant, fans have been eagerly discussing them. The prevailing theory suggests that each destruction might be associated with both variants of the Nika Fruit. Let’s explore this idea further.

The Nika Fruits And The Destruction Of The World

How Important Both Nika Fruits Truly Are

Since it was unveiled during the Wano arc that Luffy’s Devil Fruit had always been the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, many long-held assumptions about Devil Fruits have been upended. The introduction of Sun God Nika and references to other deities throughout One Piece paved the way for the introduction of God Fruits, which are believed to possess extraordinary powers compared to regular Devil Fruits.

Moreover, Elbaf unveiled another stunning revelation; Luffy isn’t the only one who can wield a Sun God Nika Devil Fruit. Loki is regarded as the most dangerous adversary by the Giants of Elbaf, for he possesses the legendary Devil Fruit of the Elbaf Royal Line, which is said to provide him powers similar to those of a Sun God Nika. Given that there are two Nika fruits and Elbaf hinted at two past world destructions, an intriguing correlation emerges.

As per the Harley Texts, the world has experienced two previous destructions, and following both occasions, the name of the Sun Deity, Nika, was summoned.

When discussing the lore with Luffy, Jarul pointed out that our world has been devastated not once, but twice in its history. Interestingly, each time, the name of the Sun God Nika surfaced. This revelation has caused a division among the Elbaf inhabitants, with some viewing Nika as a divine savior who rescued our world and others seeing him as a malevolent deity responsible for the destruction. However, it’s possible that both beliefs could be correct.

It’s well-established that Luffy and Loki possess the mighty Devil Fruits associated with the Sun God, granting them unlimited freedom in their actions. A fascinating aspect linked to this is Inherited Will, a concept connected to Devil Fruits since they reappear after a user’s demise somewhere around the world. This leads some to speculate that the Nika fruit Luffy carries might be the one used by the liberator, while Loki’s could be the destroyer’s.

The origin of the world’s two catastrophic destructions remains uncertain, yet it’s widely known that Joyboy, a virtuous individual, strove to free and uplift people. Regrettably, he met his end during his last confrontation against Imu and the future World Government forces at the close of the Void Century, marking the second destruction of the world. This aligns with Luffy’s subsequent acquisition of this Devil Fruit, as he too aims to achieve what Joyboy once envisioned. Similarly, it is believed that the first destruction was instigated by a malevolent character named Nika, whose Devil Fruit has since been obtained by Loki.

From this explanation, it’s evident that there appear to be contrasting stories about the true identity of Nika in the two accounts of the world’s destruction. Moreover, the mural portrays a unified race engaged in their final struggle against an enormous, ominous adversary, with Nika fighting alongside a colossal figure who bears a striking resemblance to Loki. As a result, many fans speculate that Loki, wielding his powerful alter-ego Nika, might aid Luffy in his climactic battle by using his destructive abilities for the greater good.

Both Sun Gods Versus The Final Villain

How The Final Battle Could Look

Information on the Elbaf mural remains unclear, with fans proposing various interpretations. A notable aspect is the entire left side, widely believed to portray the future Third World. This section suggests a union of races worldwide, rallying against a final enemy, a conclusion shared by many, who identify this foe as Imu.

From my vantage point, a compact group of spectators seem to harbor a slightly different interpretation regarding this portion of the mural. They propose that the widely accepted notion of the colossal figure being Imu might be intentionally misleading, serving as a Red Herring. According to them, the mastermind behind it all could very well be Blackbeard, a twist that would align perfectly with his thematic relevance and intricate connections to Luffy, making for an unexpected yet fitting climax to the narrative.
