Okay
I did just go back and reread a few of the statements made by some of the Giants about Nika. Yes, they plainly state the Sun God is just Nika.
Regardless, all of you can call it whatever you want but I dont think Loki is any of the other Gods nor the serpent now, whether or not of his Sun God affiliation.
I think that, given Rocks' statements about both fruits, given Jarul's statements about Loki's fruit being the cause of the end of the world, the fact that Nika gets argued and confused by Elbaph citizens to be a Liberator or Destroyer, all shows us that the Nika had some past affiliation with the Dragon by his side.
We know its not the Earth God because the Earth God has its "own" Serpent that fought against the Sun God. The Forest and Sea Gods arent mentioned until the 2nd World, and neither of their descriptions seem to fit what Loki can do anyway.
Tldr: Even if he's not called the Sun God, hes definitely part of the reason why people think Nika is violent and a destroyer.
Think of a dragon rider and his dragon, thousands of years ago. Thats what Im insinuating here. They are meeting again.
Read the above please. While yes I can agree that Luffy is the sole Sun God, i dont think he's alone in why Nika is called certain things.
Nika is simultaneously a god of liberation, destruction, and laughter because he will
liberate the oppressed by
destroying the “World” (aka Imu) while laughing.
It’s definitely possible that Loki’s fruit is just some important companion of Nika, but I think that would be problematic for a few reasons:
1. Powerscaling: Loki is already capable of bullying beyond PK level characters, despite not even being Awakened or fully mastering his Haki. It’s already hard enough to imagine how Luffy can reach Loki’s level, let alone become strong enough to make Loki look like his pet.
2. If we assume the the dragon and serpent in the murals were just the pets of the Sun God and Earth God, then where the fuck are the Forest God and Earth God in the mural? We see the Sun God and (likely) Sea God in the mural, so where are the other 2 Gods? And why are the pets of 2 of the Gods being depicted as equal in stature to Nika and Imu in the mural? And where is the Forest God’s and Sea God’s Hellfire Serpent / Nidhogg equivalent?
3. If Loki doesn’t have the Forest God DF, then who does? Imo the existence of the Sun God DF pretty much necessitates that the other 3 Gods that were placed on the Sun God’s level should have DFs of their own. Also, Imu clearly has a Zoan DF (Sea God DF most likely) on par with Luffy’s, so we already pretty know for a fact that one of the other 3 Gods also has a corresponding DF, making it even more likely that the other 2 should have DFs of their own. Blackbeard is the anti-Luffy and Davy Jones was placed on the same pedestal as Joyboy, so BB also having or obtaining a God DF (probably Earth God) is pretty much set in stone imo. I don’t see why the Forest God would be the only odd man out and not have a DF incarnation, so I don’t consider that a serious option
