Current Events Is Luffy's monkey mode a form or like the genie?

For me the thing about it is
I think that implication is projecting the community reaction onto the story
It could be the fruit taking over, or it could be another sort of transformation in line with the genie, and Luffy playing along with it, maybe a deeper toonforce of Gear 5 where he takes on different animals' characteristics
But it's not clear that it is and I don't think it's what's going on, because in my opinion the Nika destroyer thing comes from the fact that he would destroy the WG, not that he's an actual rampaging entity, and if Luffy did just get a new stronger form he would be Roger level now, only place to go, and really, is Luffy gonna become PK level by being taken over by his fruit?
It wouldn't do anything against Imu either way even if that did happen, which if it did it'd suck
I've sort of covered it before.
I think Nika originated from hopeful stories told by slaves over generations, and eventually manifested when Devil Fruits came into being.
The stories were probably made up for children to give them hope and that's why Nika is a monkey with fire-like hair and rubber body that he uses as a drum to make music and spread joy, laughter and liberation. He's probably the Sun God because the slaves working mines that rarely saw the sun came to think of it as a hopeful symbol.
This manifested in a Devil Fruit, possibly the first, and the consumer of it was a slave who would be known as Nika from the stories.
Luffy losing control due to his injuries and exhaustions is why the DF took over and he is now the Nika from the stories, but mastering the DF will not confer a transformation into the ape like creature, that's why I don't think we'll see Luffy in this form again.
tl;dr the mythological Nika was an ape. The first DF user who was known as Nika as well was just a human, and so was Joyboy (don't let the giant Strawhat fool you), and this ape form only happens when the human of the DF loses control.
