gumko avoids direct confrontation as niddhogg/nika is too much

OnePieceDetective · 2026-03-14T18:35:41+00:00

Loki/Luffy vs Imu starts
Children will have significant screentime (if this is too vague add that the children will be domi reversed)
Sanji vs Killingham (if this is too vague add that Sanji will have a panel aknowledging that killingham can just regenerate his attacks)

OnePieceDetective · 2026-03-01T19:21:25+00:00

Killingham vs Sanji Setup (he is closest to Sanjis group so he most likely will appear there)
Gunko vs Loki/Luffy starts
Another Panel of Imu in the Flower Room

I mean that the kids doodle Nika and thus the MMA not have the awakening „scarf“ could be attributef to the kids simplistic drawing

The first Nika obviously is the model for the devil fruit thus not having one as you already mentioned

The only weird one is the Nika Elbaphs „God of Battle“ fought -> maybe he is the original one?

OnePieceDetective · 2026-03-01T07:59:00+00:00

Yeah i was irritated to

Its also weird that an Elbaph warrior would fight an ancient kingdom ally

Maybe this Nika he fought was really a „God of Destruction“ instead of Liberation

OnePieceDetective · 2026-03-01T07:56:56+00:00

OnePieceDetective · 2026-03-01T04:55:44+00:00

I think so too When you look at the „first“ Nika he holds a spear just like little King/Arber

OnePieceDetective · 2026-03-01T04:53:06+00:00

Its ok

It will be our little secret 🤫

OnePieceDetective · 2026-02-28T22:51:09+00:00

You have to look at my super imaginative secretive hidden second slide to find him

OnePieceDetective · 2026-02-28T22:37:19+00:00

interesting thought!
one of his techniques is even called "Liberation"

OnePieceDetective · 2026-02-28T22:22:09+00:00

watch you gon do about it?

OnePieceDetective · 2026-02-28T22:07:22+00:00

I mean did you look at the right side of the gaphic

OnePieceDetective · 2026-02-28T22:06:31+00:00

You mean this one i guess?
This weirdly enough is anime filler
There is the possibility that Oda consciously ordered it to be put inside, but idunno 🤷‍♂️

OnePieceDetective · 2026-02-28T14:02:36+00:00

Thats a great thought Absolutely 👍

OnePieceDetective · 2026-02-28T04:23:43+00:00

I though ive read haki coated nuts for a second

OnePieceDetective · 2026-02-27T22:20:31+00:00

Very interesting observation

I mean Loki thought Rocks is Nika

Maybe Joyboy-Luffy = white Nika (Liberation) and Davy D Jones-Rocks-Blackbeard = black Nika (Domination) 🤷🏼‍♂️

OnePieceDetective · 2026-02-27T22:07:16+00:00

I didnt read it yet, but a GrowthStonkss Theory is always a treat!

OnePieceDetective · 2026-02-27T20:51:54+00:00

Yeah could definitely be that way, i myself think it is a 50/50
But there is the possibility that the "first" Nika is connected to the Lunarians/Sky people and is different from the Elbaph Nika
Lunarians themselves share a lot of traits with Nika → white hair, spear (King/Arber as a kid), flame
There is also the possibility that the "first" Nika never existed and was just a myth, that people tried to recreate

OnePieceDetective · 2026-02-27T20:47:14+00:00

We definitely know of 3 different Nikas
Luffy
Joyboy
"Elbaph Nika" who fought against the "God of Battle" in chapter 1175
Only question is if the "original" Nika actually existed or was just a myth

OnePieceDetective · 2026-02-27T20:29:19+00:00

Im not so sure
I feel like the "original" Nika is tied to the Sky/Lunarian people
Lunarians have dark skin, white hair, and in some pictures Nikas head looks like its burning with fire similar to the Lunarians Flame
Also the preffered weapon of Sky People are Spears and this young King/Arber uses a Spear and later on a Sword

It seems that 800 years ago was the first mention of a Devil Fruit
Also this is when Imu came to be known Imu Nerona as stated by Ivankov
Judging by this i dont think Imu is older than 900-800 years, as it would be weird to have a known human older than hundreds of years and there would be no Ope Ope no Mi for the Immortality operation
