Only realized after finishing the chapter that there's a way to read it with the proper two-page spreads on that site. This chapter was painful the way the panels were split. Loki gets to fire off his dragon beam but I can barely tell what's happening lol.
Big lore reveal seems to be that the giants fought against Nika, but is that really Nika?
I think the reveal implies there's been 3 Nikas: Luffy, Joyboy, and the OG Nika who the legend was based on and fought with the previous Niddhoggr
I usually read on weebcentral which has the same mangaplus double page option. Another reason why nobody should read scans (esp TCB scans) is that they don't bother to organize the scanned pages in this way (and also feed it to a machine upscaler) so Oda's art (which has become more busy) looks more messy than it actually is.
Legend and history have been core thematic elements in one piece so it most likely is Nika but not in the way we expect.
