Nika, the Sun God, holds tremendous importance in the story and will end up being extremely important moving forward as well, with Luffy being the one who has inherited his will.
While Nika's concept does take references from a few real-world myths, it is also currently the first and only original deity in the One Piece world with its own original powers. The real-world references include: The concept of a Sun God is very common across several real-world cultures.
The existence of God or gods in the world of One Piece has not been confirmed, although religions are practiced and certain figures like Nika and the lunarians were once revered as gods. Some people also believe themselves to be gods, such as Enel and the World Nobles.
Luffy. This is an obvious one. Out of a lot of the characters in the One Piece world, Monkey D. Luffy is the only one with empirical evidence that he has defeated the sky god himself.
Enel (エネル, Eneru) is the former "God" of Skypiea. He is the main antagonist of the Skypiea Arc.
The pun of Enel becoming God has multiple layers, that come to a climax when Luffy defeats him. Enel ate the Goro Goro no Mi (goro being the sound thunder makes), and became a lightning man. Enel also constantly proclaims himself a god, meaning both a literal god and God being the title of the ruler of Skypiea.
"Finally Clashing! Pirate Luffy vs God Enel!!" is the 182nd episode of the One Piece anime.
Luffy and his brother Sabo are now both “gods” who embody the fight to liberate the world of One Piece from the tyranny of the World Government.
In fact, Luffy has become a full god. Chapter 1044 of One Piece sees Luffy surprised at the fact that he can still stand as his heartbeat starts beating in an unusual way. It sends out shockwaves of his power throughout the island, and it's confirmed that Luffy has reached Gear Five.
Jesus Burgess, better known as the "Champion", is the helmsman and one of the Ten Titanic Captains of the Blackbeard Pirates, being captain of the First Ship.
Zeus is a cloud homie created by Charlotte Linlin (also known as Big Mom) from her very soul. However due to his uselessness, he was betrayed by his own creator and replaced by new cloud homie, Hera who nearly killed him. However, he survived and transplanted his soul into Nami's sorcery Clima-Tact staff as a vessel.
As mentioned above, there are four gods: the Sun God, Rain God, Forest God and the Earth God.
"God" Usopp is the sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates and one of the Senior Officers of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. He is the fourth member of the crew and the third to join, doing so at the end of the Syrup Village Arc. Although he left the crew during the Water 7 Arc, he rejoined at the end of the Post-Enies Lobby Arc.
Imu is the sovereign of the World Government and arguably the strongest character in One Piece. Imu seems to have access to some kind of ability/weapon that allowed him to destroy the Kingdom of Lulusia in an instant.
As a God of Skypiea, Enel had full control of the island. Enel is extremely powerful, although he appeared to be weaker than many characters as powerful as he is due to the fact that Luffy had complete immunity to most of Enel's lightning-based attacks, and was even able to strike Enel, thanks to his rubber powers.
The Devil Fruit in question hasn't awakened in ages, meaning its true power lies in its awakening. If the Devil Fruit is the Gomu Gomu no Mi, then the awakening of the fruit is going to be something incredibly special and won't be predictable, no matter how much fans theorize.
Luffy reincarnation (Theory) | Fandom. Is it possible that Luffy is the reincarnation of both gold roger and joyboy. if so that might explain how luffy and roger both can talk to sea kings and that they are both destined to become king of the pirates.
Teach, known as Blackbeard, is perhaps the most theorized possibility for Luffy's final opponent. Blackbeard's murder of fellow crewmate Thatch during his time as a member of the Whitebeard Pirates directly led to the events that resulted in the death of Luffy's brother, Ace.
Crocodile. Crocodile was the president of the secret criminal organization, Baroque Works. He is the longest running primary villain of One Piece as well as the first villain to defeat Luffy. He ate the logia-type devil fruit, the Suna Suna no Mi (Sand Sand fruit).
No, he never killed anyone. The reason why he never kills anyone is that he is leaving them another chance to achieve their dreams. This was also stated by Oda in SBS vol.
Being one of the strongest characters in the sky, Enel possesses the ability to use Observation Haki, although up there, it is known as 'Mantra'. Enel's Mantra allows him to sense every single being on the Sky Island, although much of it has to do with the amplification of his powers using the Goro Goro no Mi.
Having finally reached the moon, Enel encounters a group of small robots known as automata, as well as a vicious group of Space Pirates. After a series of events, Enel's Goro Goro no Mi powers wind up activating not only all of the automata, but their city as well, and the self-proclaimed God discovers his true roots.
Marco was considered to be one of the few characters capable of beating Blackbeard. Marco's devil fruit ability allows him to heal from any damage that he takes in a fight. He has fought against Kizaru and came out unscathed from the fight. He is leagues above someone like Enel, who can't even use Armament Haki.
Pobably because he can't sleep or else he would die. This allows him to eat 2 fruits.
