Tbf luffy is still luffy
With him being 1 of many to have a similar dream or whatever to nika. Which is why the fruit chose him
The way I see it it’s a mutual thing
- Luffy masters his fruits power to achieve his own goals
- The fruit chooses a person in hopes they are able to fully use its power to achieve what it wants
Its just the case fruits try to find people that they believe have the same spirit as them
Tho I do understand not liking luffy’s fruit being revealed to be so special after so long of thinking it wasn’t. To be fair it doesn’t change how hard luffy had to push himself to achieve it. Like it really was a pretty basic fruit at first that most people wouldn’t be able to push half as far as Luffy
I’m still extremely curious as to why it didn’t go to roger since he and luffy have the same dream
Also the more fruits and powers related to in verse gods it’ll probably help highlight that not only Luffy is special
Unironically the whole devil fruits picking users to embody them is the same thing zoro and other great weapon users go through
It also is a mutual relationship
- Zoro masters his swords in order to achieve his own goals
- The weapon chooses a person they believe is worthy to be able to fully utilize its power
