Speculations What If Loki is a Facsimile of Nika?

What If Loki is a Facsimile of Nika?
​

He claimed to be the Sun God. I will push this concept a little further and suggest that Loki can take on a facsimile form of Nika. This form is what convinces him that he is the Sun God, and he can create many of the same attacks Luffy does.

I may not necessarily believe this is what's really happening in the story, but it is interesting to consider. What if Luffy ends up fighting another Nika?

3rd Nika copy in 2 arcs in a row?

Exactly. What we all fear most.

Nah. Oda loves norse culture and he'll aim on giving us either a legendary creature or an asgard god incarnation.

In the movie/comics "The Mask" who acts basically like Nika,they say that the Mask was created by Loki.

Don't compare the mask with shitka 😭

The original five giant gods.
Firstborn Ichika (who likely had birthrights to the crown), Nika the chaotic secondborn (who took to the seas in search of freedom), Sanka (who was ostracized and set aside by his family because too weak, like Sanji by Judge), and the (archetypical dumb) twins Yonka & Goka Yonka 2.

IMO, if Luffy has the DF of the second god, and IF Oda follows this pattern, then either:

a) Loki is the "Sanka" of the arc, whom Luffy will help against his tyrannical family;​

or

b) Loki has already obtained the DF destined to "Ichika" the rightful heir, and will 100% occupy the villain role of the arc;​

or, the curveball,

c) Loki & Hajrudin both represent the dumb twins Yonka & Yonka 2, and the main conflict will come from the yet-unintroduced first- and third-born Ichika & Sanka​

So far, Loki appeared to be troll-ish and manipulative enough where he could be a foil to Sanji, Mr. Prince persona included. It'd be cool if the Elbaf lore were an inversion of the Vinsmokes', having all the other siblings leave/die and only Sanji/Loki stay with Judge/Harald (and killing his dad for power > emotions, the opposite of Sanji).

Visually, there is only one difference among them - their hats.
Are we 100% sure that Luffy is actually Nika?
If we go by the design of their hats, Luffy could be Yonka, the one whose hat is all white which is what Luffy's powers do to his clothes.

If Yonka is the one who turns things white then Sanka would be the one who turns everything black. Is this Blackbeard?
The other two are with dots, stripes and whatever Goka's design is... Leopard?
Certainly interesting to guess who they represent.

Oh, very interesting. I've never thought of analysis the hats.
True--black and white have to be the extremes, Luffy & BB.
The dots could represent Law's family, since he is mostly portrayed wearing the design.
The stripes makes me think of Gaban/or whomever the guy who visited Crocus was.
While the leopard print, imo impossible to guess with the hints we have so far (inb4 people say Lucci), could be a reference to the puma/jaguar, which in South American folklore (the origin for the rubber people and most likely Dragon's face tattoo) was one of the most important gods.

Loki is the bloodline of joyboy
