With Luffy's newfound abilities, many One Piece enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the showdown between Blackbeard and Luffy in the upcoming chapters of the manga.
One Piece chapter 1044 witnessed a significant power boost orchestrated by Oda. Not only did Luffy awaken his Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, but also, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates activated the Gear 5 power state. Immediately, Luffy delivered a formidable assault to Kaido in the final moments of One Piece chapter 1044.
As stated by one of the Five Elders, Luffy's Devil Fruit power enables him to 'Fight however he wants, making people smile wherever he goes. He is hailed as the 'Warrior of Liberation,' also known as... 'Nika, the Sun God.' Awakening will give the rubber body 'strength' and 'freedom.' They say... it's the weirdest power in the world!!'
Based on the words of one of the Five Elders, Luffy is now the embodiment of 'Nika, the Sun God.' Immediately, One Piece fans speculated about a character predicted to be the greatest challenge for Straw Hat's captain in the future - Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach. Similar to those with the initial D, Blackbeard also believes in destiny. He shares some characteristics with Luffy, such as greed, carefree nature, love for competition, and especially, the persistence to pursue the dream of finding the One Piece treasure and becoming the Pirate King.
Blackbeard is incredibly persistent in achieving his goals. He spent a decade on Whitebeard's ship just to obtain the Devil Fruit he desired, killing Thatch and leaving the crew. Finally, he acquired the Yami Yami no Mi - the Devil Fruit representing darkness.
Previously, numerous theories speculated that Blackbeard would be Luffy's ultimate adversary on the quest for the One Piece treasure. With both bearing the initial D in their names and aspiring to become the Pirate King, their divergent paths now converge through the contrasting powers of their Devil Fruits.
Additionally, the vendetta over Ace's death and Blackbeard's responsibility serve as significant motivations, compelling Luffy to overcome this formidable foe at any cost. It would be highly plausible to witness the individual supposedly wielding the power of 'Nika, the Sun God,' facing off against the one harnessing the power of Blackbeard's darkness in the upcoming chapters of One Piece.
