This is the sentiment shared by many fans after witnessing the events of One Piece chapter 1044.
Luffy and his newfound power have been hot topics among fans lately. In reality, Oda carefully prepared for the introduction of this devil fruit, rather than it being an excessive power boost as many might think.
Unlike other Zoan Mythical devil fruits, Nika appears to be a deity unique to the world of One Piece. It's highly likely that Oda crafted this deity based on ancient cultures, where they worshipped natural elements, with the Sun often being the most revered. And after reading One Piece chapter 1044, many readers believe that the Hito Hito No Mi, Model Nika, is specifically meant for Luffy, the Straw Hat!
A fighting style of utmost liberation
We already know that Luffy has a penchant for freedom and a goal to become the Pirate King that sets him apart. The captain of the Straw Hat Pirates simply aims to be the freest person on the seas. Luffy's carefree nature aligns perfectly with the Hito Hito No Mi, Model Nika. This devil fruit, as described by some, earns its possessor the title of 'Liberator.' Awakening it grants Luffy both 'strength' and 'freedom.' It's said to be the most peculiar power in the world.
Oda's craftsmanship in creating a devil fruit that aligns with Luffy's personality and dreams is truly remarkable. The freedom embodied by the Hito Hito No Mi, Model Nika suits a pirate longing for freedom on the seas like the Straw Hat captain. In reality, after attaining his new power, Luffy responded to Kaido freely, disregarding any combat rules.
The power of a devil fruit relies on the imagination of its wielder
According to the words of Ngũ Lão Tinh, the strength of the Hito Hito No Mi, Model Nika devil fruit is only limited by the user's imagination. This means that the richer Luffy's imagination, the more formidable the power of the Hito Hito No Mi, Model Nika in his hands—a truly peculiar power in the world.
If we observe closely, Luffy in One Piece is a character with quite an eccentric and imaginative mind. Surely, we remember the scene where Luffy imagined a fish-man and even drew it. If Luffy were to use the Hito Hito No Mi, Model Nika, it would be difficult to measure the strength of this devil fruit.
Oda has truly shown great intelligence by recognizing that human imagination is limitless and Luffy is far from ordinary. There have been many instances during fierce battles where Luffy has demonstrated his own strength and discovered unique ways to defeat his enemies. That's why, after the Wano arc, as opponents become more difficult to deal with, the Hito Hito No Mi, Model Nika in Luffy's hands will continue to evolve.
What do you think about the idea of the Hito Hito No Mi, Model Nika being specifically meant for Luffy in One Piece? Feel free to share your thoughts!
