[oc] elbaf's legendary fruit maybe is the fruit of forest god (one of the 4 gods)

before i begin - this body started as comment on this week's my thoughts comment, and it was getting very long, and at some point it kinda just happened - my first major theory. I owe much of this too hundreds if not thousands of theories i have read, and who have shaped my thoughts, and can not list them all. if anything, i usually skip such "grand" theories when i see them - because we usually do not know enough to guess. I am more a fan of medium level theories (neither discussing OP ending or what OP is, nor guessing sir croc is luffys mom, some where in between there). So it is kinda ironic that my first theory is a grand one. I would love some feedback. I have not given practically any thought to it, so there may be some obvious stoppers. I should shut up now.

akuma no mi (sorry, earlier i thought akuma was the name of fruit, apparantly that is japanese for devil fruit) - we finally got the second devil fruit that rocks wanted (assuming the other is gomu gomu no mi or hito hito no mi - model nika, which imo is a good assumption). it is a damn strong fruit. assuming jarul is not exxagerating (like sengoku saying WB could break whole of planet), and we have a rough idea that harald ~= rocks < rocks (inverted) ~= roger + garp (not peak), and assuming under control harald is just as strong (if not more) than inverted rocks, then harald would probably be strongest person (except imu) on planet if he had the fruit. if loki (for lack of a better word - a inexperienced fighter with just good genes (ancient giant shit) from harald who alone would likely be inferior to harald, and emotionally he is broken for attacking his father, and he could beat his father with the fruit (incidents of next chapter most likely, with assists of gaban and shanks), the fruit must be really strong. there are tonnes of theories for fenrir (a thunder wolf lets say, a “god” from nordic myths) or similar gods, but currently the do not seem that good.

if anything - if there are 4 gods - sun earth forest and sea, and luffy’s fruit is sun god, then akoma is likely one of the other god fruits (maybe forest because elbaf and adam tree, but that is a very bad connection). assuming imu is sea (umi in japanese), it is either forest or earth, and there are some theories linking imu to be earth god. my current best guess is that imu somehow has either both powers or was earth god (or had earth god fruit), and somehow also took some of sea’s power or was sea god and took earth’s power (both power would explain why he wants to cover the whole world with sea, all his contracts are sea depth terms, earth elements come largely from existence of redline and power to control how land is distributed.). having the effective power of 2 gods would explaine why mu is so powerful. if you consider all (or some) of this - only the forest fruit is left. also you could see some symbolism that forest grow over land and sea, and live by sun’s power, or in some framing - forest and sun team up to win over land and sea. I can also see eve tree bringing sun to fish men island as an example of their partnership.

in hindsight, many people believe that skypeia was trial grounds for oda for many things - first haki displays (mantra ~= observation haki), a god - a group serving god (wg nations) and a oppressed group (non wg member nations), and many more to list. There also, land (island clouds) and water (well water only) were kinda 1 and same, as if water (god) had taken the role of earth (god). forest was important - it was kinda under god and some under opressed people. a sun representing figure (luffy), and a forest (opressed) representing figure (wyper)(i had forgotten what his name was) kinda team up to take down "god". wyper in his first appearance was very violent and wild (does any recent prince/king rings any bells) and kinda teams up (maybe luffy also asked this prince to partner with him). wyper also had a strong weapon (revenge dial) (and the prince has a strong weapon, maybe a hammer or some sorts). Before starting OP, the person from whom I got the recommendation ( a youtuber) said that many people consider skypiea filler, and you can skip it. maybe they were wrong.

maybe i am just looking for examples fitting my case, but that is what theorists do. i can not hypothesise and experiment. I can only theorise, try to fit known datapoints, i can only predict and weight for it to happen. I may over fit and ruin, but maybe i guessed correct.

PS: all this was pure human shit. these days people see large amount of text and immediately yell AI. That is at least 1 of the reason why i do not usually read such grand theories - they are often "beautified" by ai. sometime original authors have good reasons (they are not comfortable in english, and use it to translate, but then they should try to see english output even match the expected tone and prose or not), but many times people just find a few common plots, and give to llms, and they do their best to "beautify it". I hope someone reads this.
