Vegapunk spoke of the Void Century…a historical battle between the highly advanced civilization led by Joy Boy and the alliance of the First 20. But why did the First 20 fight? Let me write about that!
The Oppressed Pray to the Gods for Salvation
From the information revealed so far, the Sun God Nika is a savior-like deity for the people. Currently, from the perspective of the World Nobles, known as the Celestial Dragons, who claim to be gods, all humans on the surface—regardless of whether they are affiliated with the World Government—are essentially slaves. In these modern times, the appearance of Nika suggests that he emerges during such oppressive eras. The fact that Joy Boy also appeared as Nika during the Void Century suggests it was a similarly oppressive era.
800-900 years ago, the kings of various nations likely held more power than they do today. Even in our real world, going back 800 years, kings were akin to gods, and obeying them was the norm. If people disliked their rule, they had to risk their lives in rebellion to earn their freedom. While benevolent kings were favorable, most rulers were probably seen as selfish and tyrannical by the people. However, ordinary humans had no way to escape such circumstances, so they could only pray to the gods for salvation.
Nika seems to be a god embodying the people’s desires for liberation. When ordinary people seek to escape the harsh rule of tyrannical kings, their only recourse is to pray for help from a god or demon. However, for the kings, the people’s prayers did not cause any immediate concern, as the appearance of a savior was not a realistic expectation. But if a savior did appear, it would be highly inconvenient and troubling for the rulers. A savior could instill hope among the people, suggesting they could overthrow their rulers and attain freedom, leading them to rally and grow stronger.
For the First 20 of the Void Century, Joy Boy and his Great Kingdom likely represented such a threat. They likely aimed to completely crush the people’s will for freedom…
