One Piece chapter 1130 introduced Prince Loki in a way no one expected. The chapter bases Loki being a rival to Luffy and sets the stage for an epic showdown.
This long-awaited clash between two would-be Sun Gods will answer the crucial question- Who is the true Sun God?
Who is the True Sun God of One Piece? Loki or Luffy?
Luffy is the true Sun God in One Piece. The title of Sun God is not a title that is earned through mere declarations (looking at you, Loki) but through actions and powers.
Luffy’s abilities stem from the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, a rare Devil Fruit linked to the mythical Sun God Nika. It is suspected that the previous owner was Joy Boy, the first pirate who roamed the endless seas.
Luffy is a liberator who has repeatedly freed the oppressed nations throughout his journey as a pirate. The Sun God Nika is known in ancient tales as a figure who brought freedom and laughter to those in trouble. Now, doesn’t that sound like our wannabe Pirate King?
Why Loki and Road Claim the Sun God Title
In Elbaph, Loki and Road each claimed to be the Sun God. They did this because the ‘Sun God’ carries immense cultural weight for the Giants.
Elbaph’s lore speaks of a seemingly divine figure destined to create a new world order by purging the existing structure. This fuels Loki’s ambition, making him believe he is the rightful Sun God who will reshape the world.
Loki sees himself as the one chosen to lead his people and acts all mighty, trying to enforce his will on the world.
Similarly, Road’s claim to the Sun God title reflects his belief in the prophecy and his ambitions in Elbaph. For Loki and Road, the Sun God title symbolizes authority, respect and destiny.
What does the Sun God symbolize in Elbaph?
The Sun God in One Piece is a powerful symbol representing freedom, hope, and transformation. In Elbaph, this deity is a prophetic figure who will end chaos by overturning the current order.
For the Giants (as seen from Dorry and Brogy), the Sun God is an ideal they hold as a path to salvation. It symbolizes the new world and the light that dispels the darkness of tyranny and oppression. That is why multiple people claim to be the Sun God.
Luffy’s power to inspire others and liberate people from oppressive systems mirrors the myth of the Sun God Nika, whose legacy brings hope to the hopeless.
Ultimately, Luffy’s role as the true Sun God will be revealed soon, and many may not readily accept it, much like Loki and Road, who try to push themselves onto the pedestal of being a god.
The freedom and unity of Elbaph and across the boundless seas can only come through empathy and selflessness. These values set him apart from Loki and Road with their self-serving interests.
