by

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

Summary

  • The first destruction of the One Piece world was long ago, involving the Sun God Nika.
  • The second destruction occurred during the Void Century, led by Joy Boy and the Ancient Kingdom.
  • Vegapunk predicts a third destruction involving Ancient Weapons, likely during Luffy’s reign.

The ongoing Elbaf storyline of One Piece consistently leaves readers in awe, with one surprise after another unveiled in each instalment. Chapter 1136 was particularly thrilling for fans, as it unfolded significant secrets from the past, courtesy of Elder Jarul from Elbaf.

Currently, fans are much better informed about the universe of “One Piece” than they used to be, and it’s clear that Oda has a lot more to reveal. Specifically, expect further details on the two past world cataclysms hinted at by the Herley, as well as the impending final destruction in the future timeline of the One Piece universe.

The First Destruction Of The World

  • The One Piece World Faced A Massive Danger Long Ago
  • The Sun God Nika Was Present During This Time

Fans have known very little about the initial destruction of the One Piece world until recently, when Elder Jarul from Elbaf brought it up in the story. As per Jarul, the ancient text called Harley, sacred to Elbaf, suggests that the One Piece world has been destroyed not once, but twice. The scripture is so old that its translation is challenging, leading to various interpretations. According to the text, the Sun God Nika was always associated with these cataclysmic events, hinting at his involvement. The first destruction of the One Piece world likely occurred in ancient times, possibly even before the Void Century.

At that particular point in time, it remains unclear what catastrophic event the world was experiencing. However, it’s certain that the world of One Piece underwent an extinction-level crisis and ultimately perished. A formidable danger emerged from some source, and the one to confront this menace was none other than the first Sun God, Nika. Born in the land of Nika, this Sun God was a colossal figure with divine origins. Known for his immense power, Nika was often depicted wielding a sword and shield in battle. As he was a giant with elastic abilities, it’s plausible that the sword found in Elbaf might have once belonged to the Sun God.

Regarding whom the Sun God battled during that period, there isn’t much known among fans. It’s possible that the Sun God clashed with the Sea Devil itself, or perhaps someone wielding its power. This theory fits since it implies a recurring pattern, with Joy Boy and Imu having followed suit, and now Luffy and Imu potentially being next in line. Let’s hope Oda provides more insights about this world-shattering event.

The Second Destruction Of The World

Joy Boy and the Ancient Kingdom Fought In The Void Century

In the One Piece storyline, followers of the series are well-versed in the prophecy of a second world destruction, a knowledge deepened by Vegapunk’s revelations during the Egghead Arc. Centuries ago, Joy Boy was born in a prosperous kingdom boasting impressive scientific breakthroughs. Whether these advancements posed a threat or simply disagreements with neighboring rulers, multiple kings united to form an alliance known as The Alliance. This coalition waged war against the Ancient Kingdom, ultimately defeating them and taking the life of Joy Boy in the process. This prolonged conflict, spanning 100 years, culminated in the demise of the second Nika, Joy Boy. Prior to his passing, however, he left behind, or at least imparted, the fabled One Piece, hinting that someone embodying his spirit would reappear 800 years later.

In a prosperous realm dwelled an extraordinary being called Joy Boy, who possessed the ability to expand and contract, similar to Nika, and it was this individual who eventually earned the title of the first sea rover.

Originally, the initial members of the Alliance earned the title of “Divine Beings” or “World Deities,” with their offspring being referred to today as Cosmic Dragons. Since the conclusion of the Void Era, the World Administration has held sway over all aspects, governing harshly. The mastermind behind this regime is Saint Imu Nerona, one of the Original Twenty, who managed to ascend and occupy the vacant throne. Imu, in some mysterious way, rose to power and took his seat on the Empty Throne. The Five Elders are faithful allies of Imu, and they have continued to govern the world since then, as they possess immortality, possibly due to the power of the Ope Ope no Mi.

The second global calamity led to an alarming increase of approximately 200 meters in sea levels, resulting in numerous countries being submerged. Concurrently, countless lives were tragically claimed.

The entire surface of the earth underwent a drastic transformation, leaving behind only small island clusters, now famously recognized as locations within the Grand Line.

The Third Destruction Of The World

The World Of One Piece Will Be Destroyed One More Time

In the captivating realm of One Piece, as foretold in the lore of Harley, it’s no secret that this world has faced destruction not once, but twice. More ominously, Vegapunk himself revealed that a third catastrophe is imminent, as the world appears to be sinking rapidly. This sinking seems to be a consequence of the activation of Ancient Weapons, set off initially by Imu in an attempt to annihilate Lulucia. These weapons are formidable, and it’s clear they will be used one more time. When that happens, we, as fans, can only anticipate the inevitable—the world will sink once again. This sinking is likely to coincide with Luffy’s ascension to the title of Pirate King, as his impending battle against the World Government is drawing near.

To prevent this catastrophe, it’s clear that measures will be implemented, and fans are already aware that Vegapunk is developing artificial Sky Islands. These islands could prove incredibly beneficial when the world begins sinking. This time, Luffy seems destined to play a pivotal role in the world’s sinking, and fans eagerly anticipate seeing how the story unfolds as it progresses.

Without a doubt, Luffy’s mission to save the world will undoubtedly lead to thrilling advancements within the series, and Oda has promised a massive war that would make Marineford seem trivial by comparison. This significant conflict, known as the Great War, is fast approaching, and eager fans can only anticipate its unfolding, given that we are now in the final act of One Piece.

Fans can access “One Piece” for free, officially, through Viz Media. You can read it on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. Mark your calendars, as the next chapter, “One Piece 1137,” is scheduled to release on January 26, 2025.
