In One Piece , memorable villains have always been an essential part of the plot. However, throughout the various sagas, heroes face enemies that test not only their strength but also their ideals. Thus, characters like Doflamingo and, above all, black beard became unquestionable icons in the anime world.

Currently, since Chapter One Piece manga Iri has been pointed out as the supreme antagonist of the series. However, as the story evolves, many fans believe that clues left by D. Xebec and Black Beard indicate the existence of an even greater threat, capable of overcoming even imi .
The connection between rock, black beard and the dark past
Therefore, it is important to remember that One Piece works strongly with the concept of inherited will. Like Luffy , Joyboy and Gol D. Roger were considered the great heroes of their ages, there would also be villains that would act as dark counterparts.
According to this theory, Black Beard and the late Rocks D. Xebec would have taken on exactly this role: that of villains that reflect the trajectory of the heroes. That is, just as Luffy represents freedom and joy, black beard would be the opposite, guided by ambition and destruction.
Moreover, many believe that this dynamic suggests that even before IMU, there was an even more formidable villain, present in the most remote time in One Piece world.
The Puzzle of the First World and the Origin of Nika
Elbaf 's arc has brought crucial revelations to One Piece's history. As discovered, today's world would be the third cycle of civilization, preceded by the second world of the age of Joyboy , and the enigmatic first world.
In this context, the concept of the sun god Nika would have emerged in the first world, indicating that the original liberator also faced an evil counterpart. Therefore, this figure would be undeniably the most powerful villain in history.

Eventually, many point to the first user of the legendary Akuma in Loki Mi as this antagonist. After all, Elbaf revealed that Luffy is not the only one with a fruit related to the sun god - Loki also has a similar power, which would explain his decomaster strength.
Therefore, it is believed that the first bearer of the “Nika fruit of the destroyer” has occupied this dark role, being the original Nika antithesis. Even this would explain Loki's admiration for Rocks D. Xebec, as he would seek to follow a similar path, but ended up walking a different trajectory when finding Luffy.
Because this theory reinforces the idea that, in One Piece , history is cyclically repeated, always with heroes and villains reflecting on each other.
