Appearance

Based on his single, silhouetted appearance, Nika seemed to be a lanky, warrior-

like figure with noodly limbs and flame-shaped hair.

Personality
According to the legend heard by Who's-Who, Nika was a heroic, benevolent
figure who was a friend to slaves. It was said that Nika would one day come for
the slaves to liberate them from their oppressive masters and bring smiles to
their faces.[1]

Powers and Abilities

The legend states that Nika was a great warrior. In his silhouette appearance, he
was seen holding a sword and a spear.[1]

Legend
Nika has been worshipped since ancient times by slaves who believed that he
would eventually come to free them from their suffering. It is, however, unknown
if such a figure actually existed or not.

Who's-Who, a former member of CP9 who was once imprisoned for failure,

heard about the legend from an unnamed prison guard and then started giving
his prayers for Nika with the intent of easing his own suffering. When Who's-Who
noticed that the same prison guard who told him about the legend suddenly
vanished from duty, he suspected that the story was not meant to be shared and
that the World Government had done something to the guard. He then decided to
break out of prison in order to escape a potentially worse punishment for knowing
too much.[1]
Who's-Who mentioned Nika to Jinbe during their fight, as the former associated
the fish-men race with slavery, and asked Jinbe about the legend. Jinbe did not
reply to Who's-Who, and was angered with the assumption of the relationship
between the fish-men and slavery, so after defending from Who's-Who attacks,
he delivered a critical blow upon him.[1]

Trivia
 The concept of a Sun God is very common across several real world
cultures. Because of the sun's importance to life as a whole, most solar
deities were often recognized as symbols of power and prosperity.
 According to Who's-Who's words, there is a connection between Nika, who
is claimed to be a sun god, and the Sun Pirates, though it is unknown if
there actually is one.
 Technically speaking, Fisher Tiger may fit the description, as he freed
the slaves of Mary Geoise and was the first captain of the Sun
Pirates.
 Some cultures within the world have been shown worshiping the sun or a
deity related to it:
 Mousse of the ancient Shandia tribe from 400 years ago once
mentioned that she would "meet the sun god" after her sacrifice. The
snake Kashigami, which the Shandia worshiped, had "God of the
Sun" as one of its multiple titles.[2]
 Otohime, the late queen of Fish-Man Island, had a profound
admiration for the sun, frequently using it as a symbol that Fish-
Men and Merfolk had to strive for.

the Winter Solstice Festival.[3]
