Speculations Was Nika #1 even a DF user?

[Monkey D Theories]

Spoiler

Nika #1 does not appear to be a DF user. As we can see from the silhouette of Joyboy and G5 Luffy, the Nika fruit’s full power has the white cloak indicating DF awakening.

Nika #1 does not seem to have this white cloak, whereas it does have the signature white Nika hair.

Could this indicate that Nika #1 was not a DF user, but rather some sort of ancient primordial entity that like Ratatoskr, essentially became a DF power?

 

[MonochromeYoru]

it's been implied that the first nika was an actual person yes

peeps been theorizing that the first world was a place where mythical gods were common

 

[sanjikun]

I think DFs entered sometime during the 2nd or 3rd world, and they represent people and things from the 1st world.

 

[Hako Sama]

Yes, I also believe that the ancient gods existed, but it was the entity behind Imu that killed them all. All the mythical Zoans are the remaining essence of those ancient gods.
I also believe that some gods allied with this evil entity, while others did not. Perhaps a huge war between the gods occurred, resulting in the complete destruction of the world, which eventually led to the Second World and the appearance of Devil Fruits.

The current Imu seems to have been born during Joyboy's era, I'm definitely sure of that, based on how ignorant he was about Nidhogg whereabouts, and how much PTSD he has from Joyboy.

We are told Ratatoskrs soul merged with Ragnir, so it’s possible that the souls of all these First World “Gods” merged with fruits to become the first devil fruits

Rubber Man against Lightning Dragon, that's too convenient,
Imo Nika wasn't a DF User, He is another Science Project, similar to those Strong World/Elbaph Animals, He is a Giant who evolved and adapted to his Enemy, hence why He turned to Rubber,

Don't be surprised if Nika DF is revealed to also have Fire-Based Powers, as Nika also fought Ratatsoker,

 

[FutureWarrior123]

Nah he’s a devil fruit user. Actual deities will never be confirmed by Oda.

 

[Impact]

So, what?

He was a sword devil.
