Luffy's dream theory
I want to take advantage of this post to open a debate (if anyone is interested) about Luffy's dream. You know he told it to his brothers, Shanks and his crew recently but we didn't hear.
So there are my theories:
The first is he wants to make a party with the worldwide. I know it's the most shared theory but I think it fits Luffy as well: he likes party and it brings joy, fun, freedom, and, mainly, this is what brings together. I won't be surprised if, in the end, when everyone find again freedom, they celebrate it.
The second was my first impression (I dropped it for the first one but I want to share it): I think his dream has a link with Joyboy/Nika. Why? Because, in Oden's backstory where he shares a drink with Whitebeard and Roger, after he finished to tell his dream; Whitebeard said : "it's just a childish legend!". In the moment, I thought about Norland's story, and I find it matches the First Joyboy as a legend as well. If this is the case, so, when he would discover he is Joyboy, it will be the biggest surprise.
Is this account just for random idea dumps most if not all the time Luffy? Yeah listen my notes apps just ain’t doin it for me my brain can fit so many au ideas
Anyways the idea of Nika being an antagonist typa character is one of my favorite ideas, my interpretation of villain Nika is him having a screwed idea of what true freedom means
Like he would think you cannot have true freedom if you have anything “holding you down” emotions, friendships and any other attachment, this apathetic way of thinking being caused by the fact he is a god having a very hard time understanding things the way a mortal can.
I could see a villain Nika being a foil to Luffy’s “you can’t do anything alone” way of thinking
Anyways my monthly Op au raving session over

This is...EVERYTHING 😳🫣😉😏
🤪🤪🤪
If we consider what Vegapunk said about the origin of devil fruits to be true, it is entirely possible that both Luffy and Loki have the sun god's devil fruit, as people have very different views of Nika, with Luffy having the fruit that represents the version of Nika who is the god and warrior of liberation, and Loki the one that represents the version of god of destruction
Chapter 1118 spoilers
Y'all. Y'ALL, this chapter was so good! And what stands out to me the most about it is how perfectly in fits with the overarching themes of the series.
Bonney unlocking a Nika-like form is SO GOOD, even just on the surface level. The design is wonderful, and I just know that her and Luffy's team-up fight is going to have absolutely wacky cartoon shenanigans, and I personally can't wait. But the themes behind the unlocking of this form make it even better.
Bonney's devil fruit works off of imagination and belief, if she can picture it and then believe it is something she can achieve in the future, she can do it. But, if she looses faith, that power no longer works as well. We saw that earlier in this arc before she saw Luffy (as Nika) and her faith was (in part) restored.
And so her only now being able to unlock a Nika-like form means that she did not truly believe that she could (or would) ever be free until this moment
and as heart wrenchingly sad as that is, for a child to no longer believe in their own future of freedom, it makes sense. Bonney grew up under the oppressive thumb of the world government. She witnessed at such a young age, her father - her incredibly kind, incredibly strong father - have his autonomy, his FREEDOM stripped away by being turned into a living weapon for said oppressive government. Of course she is going to struggle to picture herself as being totally free.
But then she meets back up Luffy, and he asks her to fight with him. And when she says that there is no way that she could keep up with him when he's Nika, he says "Of course you can!" And we see Bonney regain her hope in that moment. We see her regain her belief in that she can be free, that she WILL be free one day, thanks to Luffy believing in her. We see a man that she believes is god look at her and validate her strength, validate her power, and most importantly validate her freedom. Who tells her that freedom isn't something just for him, but rather that it's for everyone. That it is for HER.
And while this is shown literally thanks to Bonney's devil fruit, it also works in the metaphorical sense as well. Luffy is not the only person who can be totally free. That level of freedom is achievable by everyone, whether or not they literally become a version of Nika or not. And Bonney's Nika-like form is confirmation of that. It is the physical manifestation of the idea, and I think it's an incredible way of showcasing it.
I teared up when I got to the Nika Bonney part of this chapter. It is a culmination of everything One Piece stands for as a series, and I'm so happy that it's not shying away from it.
i stg his powers work in the real world too because i smile and laugh literally anytime hes on screen

It all started with a bang — literally.
One moment, you were helping Nami reorganize the treasure room. Next, the whole Thousand Sunny lurched with a loud BOOM, rattling the floorboards and sending gold coins scattering like fireworks.
"What now?" Nami groaned, hands on her hips.
You rushed topside with the others, weapons drawn or fists clenched — expecting an attack.
Instead, you got... two Luffys.
One perfectly normal, grinning Luffy. And one... not so normal.
The second Luffy floated lazily above the deck, hair glowing brilliant white, pupils swirling hypnotically, laughter bubbling from his lips like music.
"Y/N!!" both Luffys shouted at once when they saw you.
You took an instinctive step back.
"Nope," Zoro said immediately, reaching for his swords.
"Is it a mirror fruit?!" Usopp yelped.
"Did the Captain eat himself?!" Chopper wailed, clinging to Sanji's leg.
Robin tilted her head, studying the scene with polite interest. "Fascinating..."
Franky just laughed, "SUUUUPER confusing!"
"Focus!!" Jinbei barked, trying to corral the chaos.
But it was already too late. Both Luffys made a beeline for you, tripping over each other and crashing into your legs like toddlers desperate for attention.
Nami pressed two fingers to her temple. "I need a raise," she muttered.
You quickly learned that having two Luffys was both better and worse than you could imagine.
Better, because they were extra affectionate — offering you food, carrying your things, cheering whenever you smiled.
Worse, because they were in full competition mode.
Gear5!Luffy (as Chopper breathlessly called him) kept showing off — stretching his limbs into ridiculous cartoonish shapes, bouncing around like a rubber band on crack, pulling faces until you doubled over laughing.
"Look, Y/N!" he crowed one afternoon, turning his whole head into a massive heart, complete with a squeaky heartbeat sound.
Normal Luffy was no slouch either. He stuck to his strengths — stubbornness and sincerity.
"I don't need crazy powers," he told you solemnly, handing you a slightly squashed rice ball he'd made himself. "I'm already the best for Y/N!"
You bit into the rice ball, smiling despite yourself.
Meanwhile, the crew took sides — shamelessly.
"I bet the crazy one wins!" Franky announced loudly.
"No way," Sanji scoffed. "Y/N deserves normalcy."
"Technically," Robin mused, "both versions are Luffy."
"Yeah, but one’s glowing," Usopp said. "Glowing automatically makes you cooler."
Zoro snorted. "Idiots."
Brook just laughed. "Yohoho! Twice the Captain, twice the chaos!"
You wanted to protest — this isn’t a contest! — but then you’d look up and catch two sets of hopeful, sparkling eyes gazing at you, and the words would die on your tongue.
At first, it was cute.
They followed you everywhere — two shadows glued to your heels. They fought over who got to sit next to you at dinner, who got to carry your stuff during island stops, who could make you laugh harder.
Gear5!Luffy once turned the entire galley into a giant bouncy castle trying to impress you. Sanji screamed for three hours cleaning it up.
Normal Luffy responded by dragging you up the mast one night, pointing proudly at the sea of stars and whispering, "I wanted you to see somethin' only I can reach."
You sat there, high above the world, heart hammering against your ribs, wondering how you were supposed to choose between them.
But the tipping point came one evening.
The crew was gathered on deck — a rare, peaceful moment under a pink-streaked sky. Dinner plates were scattered everywhere, Brook strumming a soft tune on his violin.
You leaned against the railing, smiling at the sight.
Then — disaster.
Gear5!Luffy and Normal Luffy both lunged at you at once, trying to hand you a flower they'd picked from a nearby island.
Their arms tangled. They tripped. And with a yelp, they toppled overboard — dragging you with them.
The splash was enormous.
You resurfaced, spluttering and coughing, the two Luffys flailing beside you.
"Y/N!! Are you okay?!" they shrieked in perfect unison.
From the deck, Sanji was screaming bloody murder.
"YOU IDIOTS!! YOU COULD'VE DROWNED THEM!!"
Chopper was already tossing a lifesaver. Usopp was sobbing dramatically. Zoro just sighed, clearly contemplating letting you all drown to solve the problem.
Somehow, you all clambered back aboard, dripping wet and exhausted.
You sat there, shivering slightly, as the two Luffys crowded you again, guilt written all over their faces.
"I’m sorry," Normal Luffy whispered.
"Me too," Gear5!Luffy mumbled, his glow dimming.
You sighed heavily, wringing out your clothes. "You guys can’t keep fighting over me. You’re the same person, you know?"
They blinked at you.
"You both care about me. I care about you too. But... not if you hurt each other."
The deck fell silent.
Then, very slowly, the two Luffys turned — and smacked their foreheads together in a show of stubborn apology.
Thump.
You couldn't help it — you burst out laughing.
The tension shattered instantly. The crew joined in, cheering and clapping, Brook playing a jaunty tune.
"Looks like the Captain(s) learned their lesson," Robin said, smiling.
"Finally," Jinbei rumbled, folding his arms.
"Can we have just one Luffy now?" Nami pleaded.
You grinned, ruffling both Luffys' wet hair. "I'll take both for now."
They beamed at you — two idiots, one heart.
That night, you fell asleep curled between them on the deck, watching the stars wheel overhead.
For the first time in days, everything felt peaceful again.
You woke to soft snoring against your shoulder.
Blinking sleepily, you sat up — and found just one Luffy curled against you, straw hat sliding down to cover his eyes.
His hair was black again.
No swirling pupils. No crazy glow.
Just your Luffy.
You stared at him for a long moment, heart pounding in your chest.
The rest of the crew was stirring around the deck, yawning and stretching.
"Looks like whatever split him wore off overnight," Chopper said, checking Luffy’s vitals. "His heartbeat’s normal again."
"Amen," Sanji muttered, dragging a broom across the ruined galley.
Zoro shot you a sidelong look. "Guess you don’t have to choose anymore, huh?"
You smiled softly, brushing Luffy’s hair back from his forehead.
"No," you murmured, "I already chose."
Because whether he was wild or serious, glowing or not — he was still Luffy.
Yours.
Always.
And even if he didn’t remember everything that happened while split... The way he instinctively curled closer to you in his sleep said enough.
You leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead.
"Idiot," you whispered fondly. "I love you too."
The sun rose over the horizon, golden and bright, as the Thousand Sunny sailed on, carrying you, your crew, and the boy who had somehow, impossibly, stolen your heart twice over.
Gear 5 Luffy
I made this for a art club prompt of “eye bleadingly bright he colors” and I took it as an excuse to draw one piece :)
👀
Painted one of my favorite gear 5 screenshots
The cult of the Sun God Nika, founded by the Donquixote family, sacrifices a precious novice. He was prepared for this great ritual for 13 years. The patronage of absolute freedom and chaos must come at a high price.
AU in which the Straw Hats (and some other characters) are gods of three orders in a single pantheon. Gods of the third order patronize local life, artisans and activists. Gods of the second order are responsible for natural phenomena, elements, etc. The higher gods control the structure and laws of the universe itself
Here are another version of the picture and close-ups
Can't stop thinking about an AU with a pantheon of gods and the cult of Sun God Nika. That's part of his hand down there 😳
I'll describe it in more detail later with the final drawing. But this is just a WIP now
Maybe designers will want to kill me for this text placement. But with this guy I'm free to do whatever I want hahaa 🥴
I also have version with no text at all
TOO LITTLE CONTENT WITH IM SAMA
dont play hide and seek with an all seeing god
