The resurgence of Nika is extremely important when it comes to the events of the Final Saga of One Piece. There are countless evil forces lurking in the world trying to enslave people and silence their voices. Nika has always been the Warrior of Liberation and that means Luffy has plenty of fights left to fight in the Final Saga.
6 Luffy Vs Kizaru
Luffy will inevitably end up clashing against Kizaru, one of the three Admirals of the Navy. Currently, Luffy is on Egghead Island and the World Government has laid siege to this place. Kizaru is leading this operation and he has around 30,000 men with him, along with 100 ships.
Undoubtedly, Luffy and Kizaru will end up fighting here, even if the fight is short-lived. This is a fight that fans have been waiting to see for years now. Luffy has yet to fight against an Admiral in a proper battle and this is Oda's chance to draw a spectacular fight between these two powerhouses.
5 Luffy Vs Saturn
Luffy's awakening as Nika greatly worries the Five Elders and they know what exactly he is capable of. The Five Elders also know that Luffy is one of their biggest rivals. Currently, one of the Five Elders, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, is on Egghead Island. He is there to aid the operation to kill Vegapunk and his satellites and eliminate any records of the studies that are related to the void century.
With Luffy there, the script gets flipped to an extent. Saturn is likely the strongest that the fleet has and, given that Luffy almost always takes on the strongest opponent, Saturn will be the perfect enemy for him. This will also give fans a chance to see Nika Luffy up against one of the Five Elders, who are the Royal Guard of Imu.
4 Luffy Vs Shanks
Luffy versus Shanks is a fight that is certainly going to happen at some point in One Piece. This is especially true now, given that Shanks has finally entered the great game and is now actively hunting for the One Piece. Shanks put Luffy on the path to becoming the Pirate King because he believes in him, however, he's certainly not going to make it easy for him.

Luffy and Shanks are going to clash likely on the island of Elbaf, also known as the war land. Previously, fans got to see Shanks crush Kid on this island and eventually, Luffy will come here and face the wrath of yet another Yonko once again. With the powers of his Nika fruit, Luffy is sure to topple Shanks as well.
3 Luffy Vs Sakazuki
One of the worst enemies Luffy has made is none other than the current Fleet Admiral of the Navy, Sakazuki. Luffy has a personal grudge against Sakazuki since he was the one responsible for Ace's death. The scar that Luffy currently bears on his chest is also from him.
Every time someone mentions Sakazuki, Luffy's scar aches. In the end game of One Piece, the Navy is certainly going to be at war with several factions and Luffy is guaranteed to be in the midst of it all. When Sakazuki makes his move, he is sure to stand in Luffy's way. It would be incredibly amazing for the fans to witness Nika Luffy fight against the mighty power of the magma man.
2 Luffy Vs Blackbeard
Luffy versus Blackbeard is yet another fight that is inevitably going to happen in One Piece. This clash has been teased ever since the Jaya arc and it will eventually come, however, fans will have to wait for it, given that Blackbeard is an end game enemy for Luffy. Blackbeard is of the Yonko, Just like Luffy. While Luffy is the Sun God and the Warrior of Liberation, Blackbeard is darkness itself.
This is a clash that is fated to happen one day. Blackbeard might just be the biggest enemy that Luffy will ever face in his life as a pirate. It must also be noted that Blackbeard had a part to play in Ace's death and he is also responsible for Garp being missing in action.
1 Luffy Vs Imu
Luffy's fight against Imu is one that will most likely take place in the Great War of One Piece. Currently, very few people know about the identity of Saint Nerona Imu. This person is the King of the entire world and they certainly hold tremendous powers, as seen during Sabo's Reverie flashback.
Imu holds a great deal of interest in Luffy and when the greatest war kicks off, these two powerhouses are sure to collide. It is possible that in the past, Nika clashed with Imu, given that the latter has been alive since the times of the Void Century. Now that Nika has been reborn, it is time for them to fight again. Nika Luffy's fight against Imu is going to be one of the greatest sights in One Piece.
