The Sun Gād has come to free you
Because thatās what hope is.
Nika is hope, freedom, imagination, ect. He helps people only when they ask he doesnāt use the white knight or savior trope and neither does hope. Hope fights alongside others on the battlefield, it is a aid for morale, hope is not something that saves you. Hope is something you use to help you believe you can truely succeed in your endeavors. Once you accept that hope then you can have a fighting chance.
Like in fishman island he is giving them a choice to believe, just like the choice to have hope.
In Arlong park he waits for Nami to ask for help because you have to want and have hope for something to happen.
In wano he is more so fighting alongside the people, just like hope.
Nika is the sun god, shining bright in the sky, the only other thing I canāt think of to shine that bright is the concept of hope when you have none.
Luffy not wanting to be viewed as a hero is actually so important to me. Because while the first reasoning we get for this is him not wanting to share his food
We also learn later on that Luffy also doesn't want to be viewed as a savior, nor does he ever want to present himself as such. He doesn't want to be placed on a pedestal or (ironically) be deified by the people he helps.
At the end of Fishman island, he was fully ready to leave without fanfare because he did not want to be treated by the people in that way, and only agrees to stay because he is promised food. The same thing happens at the end of Wano, where he refuses to take any credit for the downfall of Kaido and instead simply enjoys the festival with everyone else.
I cannot overstate how much I love this decision for Luffy as a character. It is incredibly common for stories like Fishman Island and Wano to have the main character swoop in and save the oppressed people, with said character being to sole person to rally them and "teach" them how to fight back. We don't get that with Luffy.
In Fishman Island, he tells the people that its up to them to decide whether or not he is their friend or foe instead of swooping in playing the role of the hero. In Wano, he understands to importance of who begins the fight with Kaido, and stands back to let the Red Scabbards (Wano natives) get the first major hit on Kaido
Even in the prison when Luffy gives his speech, he is asking the people to let him help, to have faith that they and their country can be free again, to fight for the freedom that had been cruelly stripped away from them. And even then, it is Momo and members of the Red Scabbards that fully restore the Udon prisoners faith.
Hell, we even see this all the way back in Arlong Park, where Luffy waits to take action until Nami asks him for help. He doesn't come in guns blazing and save her like some sort of white knight, but instead waits for Nami's go ahead, placing the power in her hand.
It's just such a refreshing way of seeing a protagonist in this type of story be portrayed. To have him understand the importance of the people he fight's side by side with, and not place himself as the fixer of all problems, but rather as an aid to these people (often times an aid that they explicitly asked for). It actively rejects the white savior/white knight trope(s) and allows for the people native to the island to have agency in these large battles instead of being sidelined. It is their lives and stories that are centered as being the most important in these moments, and Luffy is simply there to help them.

Look at the silly little siblingsā¼ļø
WELCOME BACK TO EVEN MORE CRACK POT ONE PIECE THEORIES WITH ME ELI
Every devil fruit awakening is slightly different between user of the same fruit
Emet (egg head robot) was joyboys franky (suuuppper) and zou was his chopper
Brook knows of islands that have been erased and some erased history and will (unintentionally) foil a government plot by revealing this info
Someone has a copy of the Vegapunk recording
Vegapunk put together that Luffy was Nika fruit users and the return of joyboy and his importance to the one piece (thus more people want to join and stop Luffy and probably massive bounty increases)
The ancient technology was lost because both sides destroyed it, to slow the other down
IDEA
When Luffy becomes pirate king I image the intro thingy would go like a this.
WEALTH
-gold hue over everything
- Nami surrounded by beriās (Nami likes Money) (on the right)
-franky surrounded by cola (likes cola he was hard to fit any where else and he did rob ussop) (on the left slightly further back)
-chopper surrounded medicine and books? (He doesnāt fit any where else he hasnāt grown sense water sadly (he was my fav :( )) (far back middle)
FAME
-all on a stage with a blue hue
-ussop doing his pointing pose from I think syrup village with the sniper king mask (he wants to be strong and likes the fame) (far back middle)
- Brook play ether his violin or guitar (he IS soul king Brook) (on the left slightly further back)
- Robin on a chair reading (demon child pretty famous) (front left)
POWER
-on a rock in the middle of a body of water red hue all in battle stance
- Zoro and Sanji to the right and left (there luffys wings)
- jimbe in middle (just thought it look nice)
MONKEY .D. LUFFY THE KING OF THE PIRATESā¦
(Yada yada)
-then Luffy jumps on the rocks top
I would draw it but 3rd graders put me to shame
