It’s True: Oda Had Another User For Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika In One Piece

The Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika is a truly legendary Devil Fruit in the world of One Piece. Interestingly, it’s also the very first Devil Fruit ever shown in the series, making it incredibly significant. While Luffy ate this fruit at the beginning of the story, its full power wasn’t revealed until much later, during the Wano Country arc in chapter 1044. For a long time, it was believed to be a simple Paramecia-type fruit that gave Luffy rubber powers. However, it’s actually a powerful Mythical Zoan fruit, connected to the ancient deity known as the Warrior of Liberation, the Sun God Nika.
