Why this matters

Oda’s pantheon-of-gods motif (see Gods and Divine Figures, Sun God Identity and the Divine Pattern) keeps surfacing as a structural register. Devil Fruits taking the shape of worshipped / legendary beings is a background-symbol tell that the world’s power and its theology are entangled. Watch for the pattern to recur and to attach to the most consequential characters.

Caveat: speculative pattern-call filed at low confidence; the Buddha fruit is unnamed on-page here and the Marco detail is SBS paratext.
