The Real Reason Why the Gorosei Fear the Sun God Nika | Is the Sun = Freedom, Something No One Can Take Away?
Is the Sun = Freedom, Something No One Can Take Away?
In Wano, when Luffy was imprisoned in Udon and deprived of his freedom, he declared upon being freed, “I’ve always been free.” This statement implied that no matter the circumstances, one’s heart cannot be bound.
As Luffy said, humans are inherently free… It might seem like a bold statement, but if we feel that a rule is taking away our freedom, it’s because we choose to follow that rule ourselves…
If we feel restricted, confined, or unhappy, there’s no need to follow the rules that impose those feelings, is there?
Why do we follow them? It’s because breaking the rules comes with penalties, doesn’t it?
Regardless of personality, no one likes facing penalties… Laws exist in the World Government and many nations, and breaking them turns you into a criminal, potentially leading to severe penalties or even execution.
The fear of such consequences compels us to follow the laws, no matter how unreasonable they may be. This power of authority, represented by the Celestial Dragons, effectively enforces compliance.
However, in reality, it doesn’t take away people’s freedom—they’ve always had it! Whether to obey or rebel, that choice remains…
Nika is the Sun God, a symbol that no one can claim as their own and that shines equally on everyone. The sun embodies absolute freedom, and Nika being the “Sun God” likely carries this symbolic meaning.
