It symbolizes resistance and oppression.
Human beings will never stop competing for resources, and the resulting battles will never cease.
In different eras, as long as oppression and lack of freedom exist, there will be people who inherit Nika's will.
For example, Luffy, who thinks One Piece is the freest and wants to become the Pirate King.
"Wait, the sun god and the earth god devoured the world with death and darkness...were they only resisting those kings?" Vegapunk pressed.
Decadent world aristocrats were not uncommon in this era.
"I know, I know!"
Merry excitedly raised her hand, "And the moon people on the boundless land!"
She said, "I saw some murals when I went to the Endless Land before!"
Nika nodded.
"That's right. Under the leadership of the sun god and the earth god, the oppressed people waged war against the moon people and those kings."
"Although the Moon People's technology is advanced, it is no match for Devil Fruit users. Faced with the awakened Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Nika Fruit, they are forced to retreat one after another."
So the moon people decided to escape.
They carried the collected gold and boarded a ship called Ark Proverb, intending to return to the moon from Earth.
"This is why the red earth continent appears."
Nika said, "The war was started by the Moon People. They caused all of this, and now that things are going wrong, they want to run away?"
The God of Earth will not allow it.
He activated the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, causing the Red Line to rise high, like a blood-stained serpent spanning the sea, blocking the Moon People's Ark Prophet on the Red Line.
"Of course, some of the moon people did go back."
Nika added, "They left behind murals that document this history."
"Some of the lunar people did not return, but stayed on Earth. They established a kingdom of gods, called themselves the descendants of gods, and lived at the top of the red earth continent."
Zoro suddenly remembered.
He fought against King, Kaido's subordinate, in Wano Country. That guy claimed to be a descendant of God and possessed special abilities and physical characteristics.
“That’s the guy,” Zoro said.
This is the history of the First World.
The sun god and the earth god separated the world.
The horizontal equator has become a doldrums.
The Grand Line lies in the middle, along with a ring of red earth.
The world is divided into four seas, with countless islands scattered throughout.
Devouring the world with death and darkness.
With the defeat of the Moon People, the kings of other nations naturally could not escape punishment either.
The world was divided, and nations and continents were separated.
The once-connected continent has been reduced to countless fragments of islands.
"That's why there are so many races in the world today."
Nika explained, "Long-armed tribes, long-legged tribes, dwarf tribes, giant tribes... each island was relatively isolated, gradually forming its own unique culture and physical characteristics."
The world has returned to the way it was before the moon people arrived.
But they are not exactly the same.
Because of the existence of the Grand Line and the Red Line, the connections between countries gradually disappeared, resulting in a significant disparity in world geography, and each island developed its own civilization at different stages.
Some islands are still in ancient times, living a primitive life, while others have a highly developed shipbuilding industry, capable of building huge ships.
The Kingdom of Gods on the Red Earth became a unique race in this world.
They possess technology and power surpassing that of ordinary humans and claim to be descendants of gods.
"From then on, they could never see each other again. So that's what it meant."
Vegapunk murmured, "The various races are separated on different islands, isolated from each other, and can no longer communicate freely as they used to."
The so-called long-cherished wish of the gods is to return to the moon, to return to that infinite earth.
But the red earth blocked their way.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect to go back instead." Merry scratched her head a little embarrassedly.
It was actually swatted up by the bear.
"How did Big Bear know?" Everyone couldn't help but look at Big Bear, who was playing with Bonnie not far away.
Never mind, it's not important anymore.
Anyway, Big Bear has too many secrets, so one more won't make a difference.
Usopp was the first to lose his temper; he scratched his head, his face full of question marks:
"Wait, wait, wait, so the whole world we live in now was actually created by a great war?"
"That's pretty much the gist of it." Nika nodded.
"And what about the Second World?"
Robin asked nervously, "Is it the blank century of history?"
Nika nodded.
After the destruction of the First World, civilization on Earth was almost back to square one.
The formation of the Red Line and the Grand Line shattered the world into countless fragments, almost completely severing the connections between the various islands.
In this situation, each island could only develop independently, forming its own different stages of civilization.
A new human civilization was born, and the whole world was in its initial stage at that time.
Start all over again.
Humanity rose from the ruins, but without the aid of technology, everything returned to its most primitive state.
"Above these scattered civilizations, some races rose rapidly during this period; they were the ancestors later known as the Celestial Dragons..."
"A race of gods?" Robin blurted out.
"Do not."
Nika shook his head. "They claim to be gods, but in reality, they are a group of humans who have obtained the power of Devil Fruits."
In the early stages of the Second World, although a new human civilization emerged, its technological level was far inferior to that of the First World. In this primitive era, Devil Fruit users naturally came to dominate.
"At this moment, the god of the forest appeared."
Nika looked at Luffy and asked, "You should have fought a Marine Admiral who possesses the Forest-Forest Fruit, right?"
Luffy immediately remembered, "You mean that guy called Green Bull?"
The fighting style is that of a naval admiral who uses various plants.
Luffy does remember him; that guy was quite strong, but his Haki was a bit weak. After Kuzan left the Navy, how could someone like that become an Admiral?
It can only be said that there is a lack of successors.
"Yes, that's him."
Nika nodded. "But what I want to talk about is not Green Bull himself, but the significance of the Forest-Forest Fruit user in the history of this world."
The emergence of users of the Forest-Forest Fruit allowed people of that era to discover many secrets about trees, such as Adam, the sacred tree of the giants, capable of supporting the weight of an entire island. But most importantly, they discovered... the Devil Fruit tree.
Silence fell on the deck once again.
The Devil Fruit Tree?
Devil Fruits actually grow from trees?
Such a thing has never been heard of in any classic texts or legends.
Devil Fruits have long been considered the embodiment of sea demons, mysterious fruits that grant demonic power to those who eat them.
Nika noticed everyone's confusion and explained, "It's not that Devil Fruits grow from trees, but rather that Devil Fruits are born from human wishes."
However, there is indeed a tree that has a profound connection with Devil Fruits.
No one knows exactly where the tree is, nor what it looks like, but it certainly exists.
Users of the Mori-Mori Fruit can sense its presence through all plants.
Therefore, the forest god sent out demons.
"Is that tree the source of all Devil Fruits?" Vegapunk asked quickly.
"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, who knows?"
Nika shrugged and took another sip of his drink. "In short, in the Second World, with Devil Fruit users at its core, humanity has formed the prototype of a world government representing order and peace."
They claimed they would use the power of Devil Fruits to govern the world, eliminate war, and establish eternal peace. But in reality, they were simply using a different method to oppress those without power.
A new class divide has emerged between Devil Fruit users and those without.
Those with great abilities become rulers, while those without abilities become the ruled.
Those who are capable are high above others, enjoying all the resources and privileges.
Those without ability can only struggle at the bottom, and even basic survival becomes a problem.
"Like the First World, the Second World was still full of inequality and oppression, and Nika once again appeared at the people's request."
Everyone held their breath.
Nika is, in a sense, a living history, and it was through her that people learned of Im's existence.
Usopp had already forgotten that if he knew these things, the World Government would come to silence him.
Nika said, "More than nine hundred years ago, in a country called the Great Kingdom, a person was born, who later became known as Joy Boy."
He later ate the Nika Fruit and set sail, becoming the first pirate.
