In the latest episode 1043 of the One Piece comics, there is an explosive plot in the plot, luffy is knocked down by Kaido, and the straw hat on his head and body begin to show signs of softening, which is obviously a manifestation of the awakening of the rubber fruit. Moreover, the plot also implies that Luffy is Joey Boy, and the elephant lord directly indicates that Joey Boy has come, which is almost written directly on Luffy's face.

In addition, in this sentence, Luffy also appeared a laugh of "Nika" pronunciation, which reminds people of the "sun god" Nika mentioned in the previous plot. Legend has it that the "sun god" Nika is a warrior who can save people from suffering, but that is a legend after all, and no one knows whether he really exists or not.
And here there is a question, Luffy is Joey Boy the fact that it is basically a nail in the coffin, so is it possible that he is still the "sun god" Nika? In this regard, I think it is absolutely possible, first of all, the word "Nika" is used many times in One Piece as an onomatopoeia for character laughter, and Joy Boy means "happy boy".
Secondly, there is a "One Piece" fan on the extranet who really found the content of "Joy Boy" on a profile. Originally, "Joy Boy" is the drum, song and joy spirit in the Caribbean heritage, and in the 1043 episode of the comic, the elephant said that Joey Boy has a "liberation drum" that should also be taken from here.
Moreover, in this information book about "Joy Boy", there is also a related picture, and the person in the picture is the same as the image of the "sun god" Nika in "One Piece", and even the movements of the characters are very similar. In summary, we have reason to believe that Joey Boy and "Sun God" Nika in "One Piece" are the same person, that is, Luffy is not only the legendary Joey Boy, but also the legendary "Sun God" Nika.
I have to say that Luffy is worthy of being the protagonist of the work, and he has added two BUFFs at once, which is really enviable. In my guess, the "sun god" Nika should be a title for Joyboy, just as Usopp was regarded as a hero by the villains, and Joyboy should have rescued some of the suffering people, so they revered nika as the "sun god", which led to the legend of "sun god" Nika.
Of course, this is only my own analysis and speculation, why joey Boy still has the identity of "sun god" Nika, we still have to wait for Oda to reveal. Finally, what do you think about the fact that both Joey Boy and "Sun God" Nika are Luffy? Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section below.
