One Piece’s Elbaf Arc has quickly become a highlight of the series, showcasing thrilling battles and significant revelations within just a few months. The excitement surrounding Elbaf is amplified by its connection to the elusive Sun God, Nika, enhancing the stakes for fans eagerly anticipating future developments.
Chapter 1136 of One Piece delivered a staggering revelation concerning the original Sun God Nika, electrifying fans as it unfolded. While the Void Century was long regarded as the series’ most profound mystery, it has now taken a backseat to even greater unknowns, leaving fans buzzing with curiosity about what lies ahead.
Exploring the Enigmas of the Void Century
- Joy Boy emerged during the enigmatic Void Century.
- The World Government’s formation transpired after this mysterious period.
The Void Century remains one of the most tantalizing mysteries within One Piece, consistently referenced throughout the series. Nico Robin has hinted at its significance in various arcs, particularly during the Arabasta and Skypiea sagas. With each arc, Eiichiro Oda has gradually unveiled fragments of this history, with Water 7 providing crucial insights through Professor Clover’s revelations. The catastrophic event that razed Ohara was primarily to suppress access to the secrets of the Void Century, aiming to halt any further archaeologic pursuits. However, despite the World Government’s efforts, the legacy of Ohara’s knowledge persists.
In other words, everything that Ohara worked so hard for is right here, safe in my brain. The will of Ohara still lives. — Shaka
Saul and the Giants of Elbaf collaborated to safeguard Ohara’s knowledge, establishing a new library in Elbaf. Moreover, Vegapunk has assimilated and analyzed all of Ohara’s findings, holding vast amounts of undocumented history about the One Piece world. This is particularly evident in Vegapunk’s significant communications, which hinted at deep-rooted secrets concerning the past and future world’s decline, shedding light on a historic conflict that occurred between the Ancient Kingdom, represented by the first pirate Joy Boy, and a coalition of 29 kings intent on dismantling Joy Boy’s influence. This struggle, lasting over a century, led to the Ancient Kingdom’s downfall, ultimately leaving behind only the scattered Poneglyphs. Fans are eagerly poised for Oda’s next revelations about this pivotal 100-year mystery.
Oda Unveils a Conflict Before the Void Century
Uncovering the Pre-Void Century Conflict
While the Void Century stands as a monumental event within the One Piece narrative, Oda has disclosed information suggesting an even more significant past conflict predating it. In Chapter 1136, he introduced the ancient Harley texts from Elbaphian culture, which detail a lost and undecipherable language. These texts have multiple interpretations, each revealing varied accounts of the Sun God Nika.
It is said that our world has already been destroyed twice before. — Jarul
This ancient literature suggests that the world of One Piece experienced destruction on two separate occasions, both invoking the name of the Sun God Nika. Historically, Joy Boy’s involvement in the cataclysmic struggle against the World Government aligns with this idea. This conflict was so devastating that it drastically altered geographical landscapes, resulting in a 200-meter rise in sea levels, leading to massive casualties and a reformation of the world itself. The victors of this war—the World Government—secured their supremacy, which continues to the present day. As fans remain captivated by these unfolding mysteries, Oda has now hinted at an even more profound and ancient conflict.
Jarul’s revelation that the world has undergone two destructions adds depth to the narrative, inviting speculation about the first event, during which Nika battled against a formidable foe. This ancient Sun God, believed to have origins linked to the Giants of Elbaf, confronted an unidentified adversary capable of reshaping reality. The implications of this conflict raise questions about the world’s condition during that time, especially considering that neither the World Government nor the Ancient Weapons existed then. Thus, fans are left pondering the identity of the adversary that Nika faced.
The Initial Destruction of the World
The Epic Clash Between Sun God and Sea God
While the specific details regarding Nika’s adversary remain ambiguous, it is plausible to consider that the formidable being Nika confronted was another deity. This could imply a titanic struggle between the Sun God and the Sea Devil—one that would reverberate throughout the very essence of the world.
Fans look forward to further exploration of Nika’s narrative in the One Piece saga, as it holds profound implications. Although it may not directly relate to the Void Century, it significantly enriches the lore surrounding the world of One Piece and the enigmatic Nika Devil Fruit.
For those interested, One Piece is available for reading on Viz Media. Fans can access the series officially and for free through the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus platforms. The anticipated release date for One Piece Chapter 1136 is set for January 19, 2025.
