Note that when the Giants are discussing Nika, they say “it’s every Giants dream to become Nika”… they never say anything about eating a Nika df.
Hence why Loki thinks he’s Nika. He thinks Nika is something you can BECOME. (Supposedly by doing the sun god prophecy)
Also note that the legendary fruit that passes down the royal Elbaf family is not called the “Sun god fruit”. No one in Elbaf ever says a sun god df exists. They just say “I am the sun god” like Road when he kidnapped the strawhats or “I will become the sun god”
so what’s about Luffy? Well, again, notice how the Giants who see the Nika awakening just say “You look like nika”… No Giant has acknowledged that Luffy IS NIKA. They just keep saying Luffy “LOOKS” like Nika
that’s because they don’t even know that a Nika df exists. They can look at Luffy directly turning into Nika and just say he’s cosplaying because no one told them Nika was a df power… To them you only become Nika BY DOING THE NIKA PROPHECY.
