Warning: SPOILERS for chapter #1127 of One Piece
One Piecechapter #1127 finally begins its most anticipated arc, Elbaf, the land of the giants, which has been teased for over two decades.

However, this arc also promises to unveil some of the series' biggest mysteries, includingthe identity of the “Sun God”.
Before the story delves into Nami’s strange journey through the “LEGO” castle, where aseries of inconsistencies hint that she might be hallucinating, the opening panels feature an alarming reaction from the giants who inhabit Elbaf. As a fire spreads across the forest, an unnamed giant urgently insists thatthey must report the incident to the “Sun God.“This reference is undoubtedly tied to Nika, and this detail hints that the Elbaf arc will dive deeper into the mysteries surrounding the enigmatic figure, shedding light on one of the most intriguing secrets ofOne Piece.
One Piece’s New Arc Will Unravel the Mysteries Surrounding the Legendary Sun God Nika
The Elbaf Arc Might Also Reveal Its Connection to Luffy and Joyboy
Who’s-Who, one of Kaido lieutenants, is the first to mention Nika during the Wano arc, revealing that he learned about the legendary figure from a prison guard while he was incarcerated. Since then, Nika has become one of the series' most intriguing mysteries, particularly with the figure’s connection to the Devil Fruit that granted both Luffy and Joyboy their god-like transformations. As the series progressed, it’s also revealed that the legend of Nika has been passed down through theBuccaneer racefor generations.
However, one of the recent key confirmations about Nika comes from Dr. Vegapunk inOne Piecechapter #1114, who reveals that this mysterious figure originates from the myths of Elbaf, confirming an earlier theory. With chapter #1127 explicitly mentioning the “Sun God,” asthe giants refer to a figure possibly in charge of their nation, it becomes increasingly plausible that the legend of Nika is deeply ingrained in Elbaf’s history in its truest form. As the narrative of this arc progresses, it’s clear that fans will gain deeper insight into this legendary figure.
Unraveling the mysteries of the Sun God Nika will likely shed light on hisconnection to Luffy and Joyboy, the two characters most closely associated with the legend so far. The latter part of the Elbaf arc may delve into Joyboy’s backstory, as he is believed to be the first person to embody the qualities of the Sun God. No matter how it unfolds, Elbaf’s storyline is set to reveal significant details about Nika’s legend, and the early mention ofthe Sun Godin the newestOne Piece’s arc strongly hints at the nation’s deep ties to this enigmatic figure.
