The God Of Destruction Nika

One Piece chapter 1136 finally dropped earlier today, and it is safe to say that this week’s chapter was full of excitement for the fans. The chapter turned out to be worth the wait and fans are delighted by the sheer level of lore that Oda dropped. Elbaf was always going to be a lore-heavy arc and the Sun God Nika was always going to be incredibly relevant here. So, for the fans to have their expectations met by Oda this week was surely a special feeling.

One Piece: This Devil Fruit Could’ve Been The Most Important In The Void Century 

This devil fruit played a huge role during the Void Century in One Piece. Here’ how.

With Jarul being the one primarily responsible for all the lore revealed, fans were finally made to realize why he survived the ordeal with Linlin in the past. More importantly, One Piece chapter 1136 gave fans even more developments surrounding the two members of the Holy Knights who infiltrated the land of the Giants, as well as Loki, who fans know holds tremendous importance in the Elbaf arc, being the self-proclaimed Sun God and the destroyer of the world. With all these things already underway, One Piece chapter 1136 couldn’t have gone better for the fans.

Jarul Reveals New Nika Lore

• The Mystery Surrounding Nika Gets Deeper
• Jarul Reveals The Truth About The World

One Piece chapter 1136 has proven to be absolutely sensational in more ways than one. Right off the bat, fans got to see a lot of exciting information surrounding the Sun God Nika through none other than Jarul, the oldest Giant in the whole world. Jarul revealed a lot of exciting information to the fans surrounding the mythology of the Sun God, his importance in Elbaf, as well as why he’s revered so heavily in the country. It is no surprise to know that Elbaf has always been connected to the Sun God Nika. After all, the tales of the Sun God are said to have originated from Elbaf long ago—making the Sun God a Giant. But, a lot more depth was added to this myth in One Piece 1136.

Jarul introduced fans to an ancient scripture called Harley, which is believed to be impossible to fully decipher. Given how old it is, there have been multiple translations of the text so far, and it certainly has interesting things to say. According to Harleys, the world One Piece has already been destroyed twice, and both times it got destroyed, the name of the Sun God Nika was invoked. This is one of the many reasons why the Giant race is so conflicted over what Nika’s true purpose is.

Some believe Nika to be a warrior of liberation and a god of laughter, while others believe Nika to be completely different and a destroyer. Whether Nika was a destroyer or a liberator matters little. What is truly important to note here is the fact that the Sun God Nika always arrives before the world undergoes a great change, and that is precisely why those in power always fear his arrival on the grand stage. This connects Luffy to Nika in a very interesting way, and also explains to the fans why Loki considers himself to be a destroyer of the world.

Luffy, Zoro, and Nami Set Out On An Adventure

The Mission To Set Loki Free Finally Begins

Even though Loki is openly stated to be the destroyer of the world and someone incredibly dangerous, Luffy absolutely doesn’t seem to care. All that matters to him is the promise that Loki made, and that is to reveal the current whereabouts of Shanks in exchange for his freedom. Zoro, doubtful of Loki’s true intentions, decided to tag along with Luffy and go to the Underworld or the country with him next time. Meanwhile, Nami also caught up to the idea and decided to tag along here. For Nami, the goal is to get to the Aurust Castle to steal all the treasure that the royalty of the country possess. Regardless, the Straw Hat Pirates were seen headed to the Aurust Castle to get the key for Loki and that is precisely where the next chapter of One Piece is going to take the fans, something which fans are incredibly excited for at this point in time.

It must also be noted that while Zoro doubts Loki, Luffy is adamant that he isn’t a liar. This is a good indication of the fact that Loki doesn’t intend to betray Luffy at all, especially since Luffy himself is a great judge of character. Still, if Loki does go on to betray him, Luffy will not hold back.

Sanji and Luffy’s dreams are connected. It all has to do with the One Piece world’s destruction.

The interesting bit of information here is that Luffy won’t have to worry about Loki at all as there are bigger things to look at and that is the duo of the Holy Knights who just arrived on Elbaf. As seen in One Piece chapter 1136, the Holy Knights are already making greatoveaband are ready to see their mission through, which was revealed to be very interesting, to say the least.

The God’s Knights Meet Loki

The God’s Knights Want to Recruit Loki For Their Own Benefit

As was revealed in One Piece chapter 1136, the God’s Knights are already in the Underworld of the country, which suggests that they made use of the power of the summoning circle once again. More than that, it seems to imply that the summoning circle ability belongs to none other than the Shanks Lookalike, which certainly spices things up quite a bit. Regardless, both the God’s Knights were seen in the Underworld of Elbaf in the chapter, right in front of Loki. Their offer for him to become one of them was rejected without hesitation as even Loki doesn’t want to associate himself with the scum like Celestial Dragons.

To this, Gunko, the female God’s Knight, decided to respond by attacking Loki’s pet wolf and strangling him with her bandage. In a way, Oda used this moment to add further depth to the character of Loki, and needless to say this was a brilliant sight for the fans to see. As the Shanks lookalike asked Loki to reconsider the offer due to the wolf’s life being in danger, Loki simply responded by bidding farewell to his pet and turning his rage into fuel so he can go ahead and do his job, which he believes is to go ahead and destroy the world. The stage has now been set for an incredible clash between the Holy Knights and Loki, as the Straw Hat Pirates are already on their way to free Loki and discover the chaos in the underworld for themselves.
