Unveiling the Endgame of One Piece: The Expectations and Speculations
The journey of One Piece has captivated countless fans with its deeply woven plot and surprising revelations. As the series approaches its climax, many are speculating about the endgame and the mysterious Diego, known as the Sun God Nikka. This article explores the theories surrounding the divergence of the story's direction and the expected outcomes for the Straw Hat Pirates.
The Role of the Sun God Nikka
In traditional storylines of One Piece, the Straw Hats are set on becoming the Pirate King with the goal of acquiring the One Piece treasure. However, an intriguing theory has emerged suggesting that Devil Fruits may not be as real as they seem, with their origin tied to a divine being—a powerful individual named Nikka, the Sun God. This hypothesis brings a whole new perspective to the power dynamics within the series.
Just like in the anime Naruto, where the chakra is created by the Kaguya ōtsutsuki, the creator of all tailed beasts, Nikka is believed to have created Devil Fruits for amusement. The power of Nikka is so great that he can imbue his abilities into fruits, much like the Mj?lnir wielded by Thor.
Recent Developments and Theories
Lately, the events of Reverie have hinted at a significant shift in the story. Sabo, the older brother of Ace, has been captured by
Fujitora and Ryokugyu, which could very well lead to "Marineford 2.0," where Sabo will take the place of his late brother. This development places Luffy on the verge of defeating Kaido and retrieving the third Road Poneglyph from Wano, making him an official Emperor with a growing pirate fleet. Additionally, with the help of Robin, Luffy is closer than ever to obtaining the One Piece treasure, leaving just one Poneglyph remaining.
The dismantling of the Warlord system means that Hancock, who previously had protection on Amazon Lily, is now more vulnerable to attack. However, her strength and the influence of Luffy's name will ensure she remains safe, expanding Luffy's territory and gaining him valuable allies.
The Return of Shanks and the Final Battle
Kozuki Oden's flashback reveals the disappearance of a Road Poneglyph in Fishman Island. This likely means that someone knows its exact location and has taken it. The only person who could have done this is Portgas D. Shanks. His long-standing wait for Luffy and his desire to see Luffy ready have led to the theory that Shanks might provide Luffy with the Poneglyph as a reward. However, the possibility exists that Shanks could face a challenge from Blackbeard, delaying the event further.
Ultimately, Luffy will confront Blackbeard and uncover Raftel. After discovering the truth about the world, he will learn that Sabo has been captured. Luffy will then call upon his vast fleet to attack Marine HQ with the support of the Revolutionaries. The final showdown will pit the Straw Hat Grand Fleet against The Marines, and the Revolutionary Army against The World Government.
The Aftermath and Beyond
The end of the series will see the current World Government overthrown, and a new government established by the Celestial Dragons. The Marines will continue, but under a transformed doctrine. In years to come, we might see Coby finally attaining the rank of Admiral.
One Piece is not just a story of adventure and power; it delves into deeper philosophical and ethical questions. The theories and speculations surrounding the endgame of the series offer a fresh perspective on the ongoing narrative, providing fans with a wealth of material to discuss and analyze.
