One Piece chapter 1018 has brought a wealth of intriguing information that has set the online community abuzz. The moment the image of Red-Haired Shanks, Jinbei, the CP9 member Who’s-Who, and the Sun God Nika surfaced, discussions erupted across various platforms. Below are some of the best memes we’ve gathered following the release.
Red-Haired Shanks Takes the Gomu Gomu no Mi from Who’s-Who
Who’s-Who, a member of the Tobiroppo, previously revealed that he was once a CP9 operative. Twelve years ago, Shanks snatched the Gomu Gomu no Mi from Who’s-Who while he was still part of the pirate crew. This incident led to Who’s-Who being imprisoned in Impel Down for ten years, only escaping two years ago to join Tobiroppo. This backstory adds a layer of resentment towards Shanks, especially since both Shanks and Luffy have now consumed this devil fruit.
The Battle Between CP9’s Who’s-Who and Jinbei
Who’s-Who is introduced as one of the six members of the Tobiroppo, one of the elite forces under Kaido. His presence is formidable, boasting a Zoan-type devil fruit that grants him significant strength and the ability to transform. However, despite his power, he was once a member of the CP9 organization. The highlight of this battle is Who’s-Who’s attempt to flaunt his prowess against Jinbei, the helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, only to be quickly defeated with a single blow.
The Appearance of the Sun God Nika
The arrival of the Sun God Nika in One Piece chapter 1018 raised numerous questions for fans. Many believe that Luffy shares a significant connection with both the Sun God Nika and Joy Boy.
According to Who’s-Who’s narrative, it can be inferred that the Sun God Nika might actually be the alias used by Joy Boy in the past. Both figures are depicted as warriors, struggling against oppression and fighting for liberation.
As for Luffy, the silhouette of the Sun God Nika in One Piece chapter 1018 closely resembles Luffy’s silhouette during the Skypiea arc. Luffy’s silhouette played a vital role in that arc, culminating in his confrontation with Enel, where a shadow of Luffy appeared before Mont Blanc, accompanied by a deafening bell toll. The similarities between Luffy’s silhouette and that of the Sun God Nika suggest that they both share significant traits and responsibilities.
The release of chapter 1018 has generated excitement and speculation among the One Piece community, with fans eagerly discussing the implications of these developments on the overarching narrative of the series.
