This article contains spoilers for the One Piece series.
The A bit The series has shown many incredible devil fruits over the years, but one of the craziest so far is Hito Hito No Mi, Model: Nika. This devil fruit is eaten by Luffy, and when he woke it he locked up Tool 5 And became The new Joy Boy. Luffy fits the role of perfection, but these other characters could also have been the new Nika for various reasons, Oda had decided to proceed not to make Luffy the person Roger was waiting for.
Roger
Could have been Nika if he was born a little later
Gol D. Roger Is the man who became the pirate king, a title Luffy strives to get a day. Roger and Luffy share many parallels, but while Luffy got Nika Devil Fruit, Roger only relied on his Haki. Roger, however, had the potential to become the new Nika just like Luffy, but he was too early. When Roger jeopardized, Poseidon was not even born yet, and Roger was low on time. Nika -The fruit would have been wasted on him.
Shanks
Destiny Child who had the Nika fruit in her possession
Shanks is currently one of the strongest characters living in one piece. Shanks, however, have no devil fruit and rely clean on Haki. At one point he had in his possession Nika -fruit and could have eaten it.
Shanks called Destiny's childAfter all. He would definitely have been one of the best options for the Nika fruit.
Loki
Think he has the nika -fruit

In any case Loki really thinks it's the new Nika. Had things turned out differently with Harald, and if the fruit stayed in Elbaf, maybe he has become the next Nika.
Bonney
Have been transformed into Nika once
In the stream A bit Story, only two characters that fans know have been transformed into Nika. Luffy is the first, but the second is Jewelry Bonney.
Bonney turned into Joy Boy through his devil fruitThe Toshi toshi no mi. In her alternative future, she ate Nika -fruit and unlocked Gear 5. Bonney would have been a great candidate for this power.
BlackBeard
A descendant of Davy D. Jones
BlackBeard is one of a piece of main antagonists, but it was recently revealed that he is a descendant of one of A bit Most legendary numbers –Davy D. JonesA pirate that lived under the void dog.
There are many theories about Jones, one of them is that he is the real Joy Boy, Void Century's Nika. This would be interesting for Blackbears character. But in any case, BlackBeard Is always in search of powerful devil fruits, and he would have jumped on the opportunity to get Nika.
Kaido
Kaido wanted to become Nika
Kaido tasted defeat in Wano in the hands of the man he wanted to be – Nika. Luffy finally aroused his devil fruit against Kaido and dropped to Gear 5, which is his Nika form.
Fans quickly got to know that Kaido himself wanted to become Nika. Kaido had this desire for unknown reasons, but probably because he was tired of the heavenly dragons and wanted to demolish the government.
Harald
Stones wanted Harald to eat Nika -fruit
