Questions & Mysteries Was there another Nika before Joy Boy?

[Date]

Pehaps it's something like:
1- In the deep past: The Legend of Nika start (Pehaps among a specific race like thr Lunarians), the belief of this people in this entity make the fruit "manifest"

2 - Void Century: The worship of Nika is at it's peak, Joy Boy eat the Nika fruit, after this the WG work to supress anything related to Nika

3 - Presen: Luffy eat the Nika fruit




That would be the three times, because for Joy Boy to be able to have the fruit there would be a need for the legend of Nika to already exist in some form for the fruit to exist. Making two Nikas (Luffy and Joy Boy) plus the original legend

I get a Matrix feeling. Nika/Neo showing up every so often to fight the Big Bad but somehow never manages to win. Perhaps Luffy like Neo will ultimately have to make a very difficult choice in order to break the loop of all his predecessors.

One thing that’s not explained how devil fruits were made ? What if they were human experimented as devil fruit ?



This has been long standing debate and Oda never really explained how Devil fruit originated in first place and he was supposed to explain this through Vegapunk but now he seems to changed his mind .

The original Nika was bought freedom to people was a human but Lunarians made him test subject for devil fruit .

So if world was destroyed twice then I think the lore is beyond void century and there were Two joy boys which makes sense the Original Nika and Joyboy the Pirate were two different people who challenged world authorities during their time.

Given we have 4000-5000 year old civilisations, we can stipulate the first Nika appeared around this time. And the second appeared just before the Void Century.
