These are going to be my reasons in the post @Fujishiro


1. In the Bible, Jesus has a glorified body that looks like Gear 5 does

2. Kuma has a bible and seems to worship Nika

3. The Nika sun symbol is found in a church with a cross

4. Emeth means truth in hebrew

5. The Gear 5 song, The Peak, has many bible references, like


"taking in the weakness as my ally", or

"With the world as my enemy", or

"It's the time of resurrection"
 
Honestly throwing out my guesses for the 4 God's now. Imu stabs 3 pictures, which makes me think he's 1 one of the 4 who hates the other 3. Imu also looks like Nika, which strongly suggests the same thing.

- Luffy is Nika, the Sun God
- Imu is the Devil (might have a real name), the Earth God. I say Earth because the notion of it having a Hellflame Serpent goes hand in hand with Devil and it being the reason Nika died in the 1st world. Not to mention being Earth goes back to Egghead theories about the Gorosei and Ancient Weapons all being planets who revolve around him.
- Teach is probably the Forest God. "Taming demons" sounds very akin to how he can consume more than one power. To me I get homonculous type vibes from him. This might be why his Darkness fruit doesnt act like a Logia, because its not one. Either this or he has a 3rd fruit he's hiding related to it.
- The Sea God is Shirahoshi, Poseidon. Yes, shes both an ancient weapon and this god, which might explain why the power to control sea kings is generational. It doesnt follow Devil Fruits, it follows a specific lineage of mermaids.

I think this, thematically, goes along with everything we know so far in the story. Loki's powers seem to fall along with or under Nika's, just given the history of Nidhogg and Nika. Plus, his bounty and Luffy's literally add to 5.6 billion lol....

Basically Nidhogg might be to Nika what the Hellflame Serpent is to Imu/Devil.

Now you have my guess on this for real @Shiroyru. This chapter actually helped in small ways. Maybe Shamrock is that Serpent given his beef with Loki.
Isn't it basically confirmed that Chopper is the forest god given that he has a random unexplained ability to undo the demon transformation?
 
Peter Thiel just popped a semi somewhere with the anti christ shit.

Think what’s y interesting is that panel where something comes out of Imu’s back. I’m seeing people say wings, but it looks more like to me that the Devil Imu has torn itself free and left the host body. Hence DevilImu mot having any crown or veil or looking at all like the silhouette (yes, I know Oda’s silhouette’s are iffy).

The body collapsing and spitting blood when it leaves Pangea I think still ties in to Doffy saying in our first real hint of Imu something along the lines of power not being used spoiling or rotting or something. Devilmu could be bodyhopping from person to person and the host struggles to keep him.

If so, would he maybe try and take over Loki as the next target?

Cheese for everyone!

Interesting because I did posit that Imu could be from the first world and basically possessed the Nerona King.
 
Finally he is revealed. I believe imu like joy boy originates from the second world. If all zoans have their own will, it means that the devil chose imu as nika chose luffy. So who is the actual villain? Nerona imu or the akuma fruit itself?
 
@Logiko what do you think about the bible parallels I was talking about before?
For now, I'd say there are good parralels, but it extent far beyond.

Why do you guys think he felt so strongly about going there?
The inevitability of fate. It seems to be a character driven by fatalism and destiny. Perhaps he believes himself to be a force of nature of some sort, something immutable, which might explain why he is not afraid to make so many gambles.
