Character Discussion The 'deity/god' Parallels

[Blazing Lion]

As mentioned in previous threads/posts the recent chapters have confirmed that the strongest people with overpowered/hax DF abilities have been referred to as 'gods' in legends and prophecies. And this deification is done by the communities and societies themselves that later become legends.

There are some 'gods' like the sun (Nika), rain, sea, forest and earth.
Then we also have the 'god' of war (previous Ragnir user) and 'god' of blade Ryuma
Then we have whole groups like Celestial dragons being called as 'gods' and Lunarian race being called 'gods'. The Gorosei have similar titles.
Then we have Enel and Gan Fall called 'gods' in Skypea.
Then we have the weirder ones like the Kashigami (whom Noland killed) and mountain 'god' the pig in Wano.
Then we have Sea 'god' Wadatsumi and 'god' Usopp in DR.

Of the ones which have been given parallels for so far are
Nika - Warrior of Liberation - Sun 'god' - Luffy
Ryuma - Greatest Warrior Soul - Sword 'god' - Zoro
Elbaf (placeholder name) - 'god' of War - Loki

From the above it is clear that the 'gods' refer to people who have authority, special features, special feat, size or individual strength.

We are mostly now concerned with which characters are representatives of the rain, sea, forest and earth and the serpent of hellfire.
I think we know who the Sea Deity is, Shirahoshi, the ancient weapon poseidon. That leaves us with earth, forest, rain? and serpent of hellfire.
Do you think Momo maybe one of these and what about Dragon?
One is obviously going to be Imu.
What are the chances that Davy Jones and JB were also one of these in their own eras?
And what about BB?

Big Daddy Saran was once called the Rizz God

I was leaning towards Dragon for the Serpent but it seems like Nidhogg opposed the Serpent in the past and I doubt that will be the case here

Then again, it seems like the War God and Nika were also at odds in the First World but in the Third World they’re allies so it isn’t impossible

Joyboy was the “Sun God” of his world so that’s where I’d place him

Davy Jones almost certainly occupied a space here as well so I’d wager he was one of the two (?) gods that haven’t been accounted for

I don’t think Momo is one since he’s likely the Wano representative on the mural

Dragon
BB (whatever Davy Jones was)

Are the fairly safe bets for paralleled god roles in the third world

 

[grey matter]

In before ramblings of Ryuma being another pig god and whatever.

Nika - Warrior of Liberation - Sun 'god' - Luffy
Ryuma - Greatest Warrior Soul - Sword 'god' - Zoro
Elbaf (placeholder name) - 'god' of War - Loki

Based on context and narratives, these are obviously the legit (known) 'god' titles in the series so far. They are still revered or referred to as Gods centuries after their deaths; and have great respect in-verse due to their overwhelming power and achievements.

The other obvious 'Gods' will be Imu and the earth god.

Davy Jones will be a 'God' as well, and his clear parallel is Blackbeard (and/or Rocks if the theory of 3 souls is true).

This isn't a "parallel" by the way, but Enel is very clearly a prototype, foreshadowing Imu. An overwhelming, authoritarian, nigh omnipotent 'God'.
Maybe not a 1:1 parallel, since Imu actually wants order, stability and have a desire to rule. While Enel was just an agent of pure chaos who believed in a supposed divine purpose to bring down the sky island and go live in moon.

I still think Imu = Sea God. The context of the Sea God raging is the worldwide flooding, which were caused by the ancient weapons.

East Blue also gave an early mention of a “Sea Devil” that creates Devil Fruits, which could be relevant.

It is possible that the god of the sea and the god of rain are the same thing

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Don’t forget about the man who’s just known as “God”
