Questions & Mysteries Why Nika destroyed the world twice

[milluki]

I think the first destruction was due to Nika, and the second due to Joyboy. Those two probably shared Luffy's core personality traits. Most important here would be recklessness. Luffy often acts without thinking. He has blind trust. If he lead an advanced country like the Ancient Kingdom, he would ignore all risks and let them develope all kinds of "cool" technologies. Joyboy did exactly that, so Imu brought him down, and made the world go backwards. Ancient weapons are no joke.

In an older video, I argued that Imu defeated Joyboy to stop technological acceleration.

Drum was famous for advanced medical science. The Ancient Kingdom, for advanced science in general. Shaka compared it to Egghead and speculated that the Ancient Kingdom was more advanced than the present. Wapol banished most doctors, to tighten his control over the citizens. Instead of just medical knowledge, Imu wanted to supress all technological knowledge. He won and got his wish. The world went backwards. Vegapunk is 500 years ahead of the present and still can’t replicate things the Ancient Kingdom had. Drum Kingdom didn’t allow doctors to practice outside of Wapol’s control. Great scientists like Vegpaunk are not allowed to do research outside of Imu’s control. Doctors are not all medical doctors. Dr Vegapunk is no physician. Perhaps Imu hunted down scientists just like Wapol hunted down Kureha and Hiruluk.

Imu has to be a lot more sophisticated than Wapol. He won’t have decided against technological progress on a whim. Even in our world, where the possibilities are so much smaller, many debate the dangers of artificial intelligence or automation with great passion.

The Five Elders are named after planets, that in our world revolve around the sun. Yet they follow Imu and not Sungod Nika. Many in the past believed that the planets revolved around earth. So Imu stands for earth, and Luffy for the sun. Imu was down to earth, not wanting to fly to close to the sun. He focused on the dangers of technology. Joyboy, careless like Luffy, ignored the risks and saw only the benefits. Perhaps there was even a prophecy, by someone with abilities similar to Madame Shirley’s, that certain inventions would doom humanity. Joyboy perhaps believed he could defy fate. The World Governmetn still to this day argues that reasearch into the Void Century would cause havoc, because it would set free the Ancient Weapons. Maybe they really mean that.

By the way, I think the counterpart to Luffy in that regard is Law, not Blackbeard. He is the most pessimistic, most cautious person. He is this generation's Imu.

It was just a prank bruh

There were once two immortal brothers, one evil, the other dumb.
The first destroyed the world for a prank.
The second reprimanded the first, rebuilt the world anew, then destroyed it by mistake.
People laughed hearing his apology--his finger just slipped on the red button!

Imu destroyed it once. Original devil destroyed it before imu.

IMO, the first time the world was destroyed was due to the first battle of the D's (Nika's side) vs. the "gods of the world". The "gods" lost the first conflict and the world started to rebuild from the war. The second time was the Void Century's battle (the Great Kingdom vs. the 20 kingdoms), both sides recovered from the first conflict, but the Great Kingdom had an edge in technology and that bothered the 20 kings... obviously, Joy Boy's side lost this time.

I still can't determine a reason, but I feel that the D's side was more favorable to freedom (no kings, no castes, no borders), while the "gods" wanted the opposite, full control.

vegapunk said something to the effect that it isn't obvious which side was right

He was talking about void century war. You expect imu and CDs to be good?
