Right now, it seems fans are in for another great showing from Luffy as Sun God Nika, given that he's destined to fight Imu. But, while Nika Vs Imu is already set in stone, one thing that not many are focusing on right now is the possibility that more than one Nika exists in Elbaf. In fact, Oda has set the basis for another Nika showing up in Elbaf.

Interpretations of Nika Vary
Devil Fruits Are Brought Into The World Through Desires and Wishes

When it comes to Nika, Oda has made it very clear what his powers are. The user of the Sun God Nika Devil Fruit has a rubbery body that they can freely stretch and shrink. At the same time, they fight with immense freedom and spread laughter wherever they go. Nika is born from the wishes of the people, and fights against slavery and oppression, which is what makes him the Warrior of Liberation. However, interpretations of Nika differ.

In Elbaf, just about every giant has their own interpretation of Nika. Some consider Nika to be a God of Destruction and a destroyer of the worlds, while others consider him to be the God of Laughter. Some others consider him to be the Conqueror of the World, and there are many interpretations out there. Most prominently, Nika is known as the God of Laughter or the God of Destruction.

Now, when looking at what Vegapunk stated about Devil Fruits, it makes sense for the two versions of Nika fruits to exist. Devil Fruits are born from the wishes of the people and their desires. In other words, when someone wishes for Nika to be real, he will answer. People have been praying for Nika for ages, which is why Nika always comes back. But, there is more than one version of Nika that people have prayed for. Some have prayed for the God of Destruction Nika as well, which means they through the hopes and wishes of the people, the God of Destruction Nika could have become real too.

Is Loki The Second Nika?

Loki Has A Legendary Devil Fruit

As far as the identity of a second Nika goes, nothing has been confirmed yet. But, fans know very well that Loki fits the description. Loki calls himself the Sun God who will destroy the world, which is very different from Luffy, the Sun God who will liberate the world. Loki is also confirmed to have eaten a legendary Devil Fruit in Elbaf that was passed down through the ages in Elbaf, and it will most likely be connected to the Sun God Nika. As such, Loki being the second Nika is very likely.
