Theory Oda's Inspiration for the voice of all things.

#1
I was trying to put together a Ragnarök theory and found this cool piece of info. The Mother Gaia: Goddess Mythology and Traditions | Gaia

Gaia is the equivalent to the Roman goddess Terra. Terra is the mother of Saturn and Wife of Caelus supreme god of the sky. Caelus is the equivalent of Uranus.

Saturn was an intellectual and strong-willed god. As Saturn was in control during the Golden Age, he was linked to fertility, agriculture, strength and justice. Saturn saw all men as equal and his rule was one of fair judgement. Also the God of Time.

I believe Saturn is Luffy, Terra is IM, Dragon is Uranus

There's a theory that the One Piece is Luffy from a different time period, and this would be good evidence for that theory.

The Gaia Theory
In 1970, chemist James Lovelock and his research partner Lynn Margulis (the wife of Carl Sagan at the time) proposed that the earth is a living being, self-regulating the elements to sustain life on it. This revolutionary hypothesis was seen as heretical, but has since been accepted as fact; a theory, no longer a hypothesis.

Their work suggested that in the earth chemicals all “talk” to one another to protect life on the planet; the salt in the ocean is never too salinated, the oxygen in the atmosphere never too noxious, and the temperature of the earth never grows too hostile for life to thrive. All elements work in perfect harmony to ensure life on earth is sustained.

Chinese Five Element Theory (5 Elders?)
Among the oldest healing modalities on the planet is Chinese 5 Element theory. Before Mao Tse-Tung instituted a politicized Traditional Chinese Medicine, there existed a theory based not only in physical, but rooted in a spiritual understanding of life. Five element theory honors the Earth energy as maternal, warm, nurturing and joyous. Abundant in its gifts, earth’s energy is the sound of laughter on a late summer day. If someone has an unbalanced earth energy, they could fear security, develop eating disorders and may never feel satisfied in life. It’s these qualities of being fulfilled, complete and secure that earth gives us.

Oda is inspired by Roman, Norse, Greek, Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese Mythology, and science!

Saturn does not have control over time, that was just the Romans at the time lazily conflating Chronos with Cronus through their interpetratio romana.
As much as I would like Luffy to be Saturn, as that means someone will eventually kick the shit out of him, no, Luffy has much more in common with Zeus than Saturn.
Also, Saturn didn’t really saw all men as “equal”, the discovery of fire happens after his defeat in the first place, and said golden age ends after Pandora’s vase is opened, long after Saturn is dethroned.
Said golden age consisted of humans without negative emotions and hope, they also lacked the knowledge of fire and several vital arts, they lived most of their life through sloth alone and limited intelligence.
Gaia was also Uranus’ mother, no, I don’t see Oda going this route, especially since Gaia’s role is to continuously seduce (power-wise, not sexually) descendants of Uranus until Zeus finally puts an end to her with the defeat of Typhoon. IM putting Luffy against Dragon and succeeding at it? It would require too much work, Oda will just leave the revo as good and WG as bad and take the easy route.
Even if you were to take only the roman bits, and discard everything greek, Saturn, after being dethroned, arrived in Italy to bring the gift of agriculture and civilization. Civilization is already a stretch, since even if a ruler is evil, civilization is still there, but agriculture? Never In one thousand chapters has Luffy shown a connection to it.
And I have no idea where you saw the gaia theory being accepted as a fact, like we’re in some Final Fantasy 7 world, it was stupid in 1970, it is still stupid today. Even in One Piece, the closest we ever get to a “sentient” being of that magnitude would be the sea devil, who might as well be Leviathan, as it would explain why Oda used words connected to Judeo-Christian lore in Zoan and Logia
