Before Kuma’s flashback conclusion, fans discovered interesting information about Kuma. His whole life flashed before his eyes in this incredible flashback, and among the many revelations, it’s also revealed that Nika had an influence on Kuma’s life.

Sun God Nika has Always Been a Heroic Figure for Kuma

In the story, Nika, the Sun God, plays a crucial role that goes beyond the past, influencing characters like Luffy and Kuma. This legendary warrior, once worshipped as a god, was highly important to the slaves of that time, earning their godlike respect.

Nika had a profound impact on the enslaved people by bringing joy and laughter and also helping them escape oppression, similar to Luffy’s dedication to freeing and bringing happiness to the oppressed.

In the current story, Kuma also adopts Nika’s ideals, expressing a deep admiration for the concept of a hero who spreads joy. Interestingly, Kuma’s transformation into a Pacifista, shown in Chapter 1102, reveals memories that align with Nika’s essence. These memories depict Kuma in various running poses, recalling Nika’s dance and showcasing the embodiment of Nika’s spirit within Kuma.

Reflection of Nika’s Influence on Kuma in Shaping a Better World

Kuma sees Nika’s influence in Luffy, who has rubber powers and fights the World Government to save everyone. In the chapter, he acknowledges Nika’s story as a legend but expresses the hope for someone fighting with a smile to free the oppressed.
