Interestingly, this power now plays a significant role in the latest storyline, especially after the secret of her Devil Fruit and her connection to Luffy were revealed. From a myth considered a fairy tale, Nika has slowly become the key to the conflict between freedom and oppression in the One Piece world.

Who is the Sun God Nika?

MLBB Product Recommendations

Sun God Nika is a legendary figure in the One Piece world known as the Sun God. However, Nika is not just a god in the literal sense. He is the name of a mythical warrior who has long been worshipped by slaves as a symbol of freedom and hope.

The legend of the Sun God Nika was first revealed by Who's-Who, a former CP9 agent. While imprisoned by the World Government, he heard the story from a prison guard. In the story, Nika is depicted as a figure who always laughs, dances, and brings joy to the oppressed. The slaves believed that Nika would come to free them from their suffering.

The existence of the Sun God Nika is also linked to the mythology of Elbaf, the land of giants. Elbaf is known for its ancient culture and legends about heroes who championed freedom. This reinforces the suspicion that Nika is not just a myth, but rather an important figure deliberately erased from history by the World Government.

The World Government itself feared Nika's name. They tried to erase her legend so that the people would no longer hope for freedom. But like a small, ever-burning flame, her story lived on through word of mouth.

The Power of Sun God Nika

Sun God Nika's powers come from the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit. Originally known as the Gomu Gomu no Mi, this was simply a fake name created by the World Government to cover up the truth.

This fruit grants the user the ability to stretch like rubber. However, its true power is far greater. This fruit allows the user to access toon powers, the power to make reality feel like a cartoon.

Hito Hito no Mi users, Model: Nika can:

• Transforming the surrounding environment into a flexible one
• Defying the laws of physics in a ridiculous but effective way
• Fight using limitless imagination

This is why Nika's powers seem cute, yet incredibly dangerous. She fights while laughing, causing her enemies to lose control. Freedom is at the core of her power. As long as the user feels free, Nika's powers have no clear limits.

Why Did Luffy Become the Sun God Nika?

The simplest answer is: because Luffy is the definition of freedom itself.

In the Egghead arc, there's a shocking moment when Bonney transforms into Nika. But this moment isn't just about power. Behind the transformation lies pain, trauma, hope, and a desire to be free from oppression, especially from figures like Saint Saturn and the World Government.

However, the true sun god remains Monkey D. Luffy. From the beginning of the story, Luffy has never cared about power, the throne, or being a hero. He only wants one thing: to live freely on the ocean. This dream aligns perfectly with the will of the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika.

Nika's devil fruit is no ordinary fruit. It has a will of its own. That's why it can "choose" its user. Luffy was chosen not because of his grand ambitions, but because of his pure heart, sincere laughter, and determination to free all who are oppressed.

When Luffy achieved Gear 5 and awakened as the Sun God Nika, it wasn't a fluke. It was the result of a long journey, hardship, and his belief in freedom. At this point, Luffy was more than just a pirate captain. He became a symbol of hope for a world that had been ruled by fear.
