I know that we zolu shippers like the religious tropes 'sun god/king of hell', 'angelic god/demon' and the headcanon of Zoro worshiping the god that Luffy has become, being one of his most faithful acolytes and leaving his atheism behind.
I love all that too, but what if it were different...
Like, what if Zoro despised Nika. What if he perceived it as an intrusive will taking over Luffy? What if he knows that using these powers further reduces his lifespan and he wants Luffy to resort to his Gear 5 as little as possible? After all, Luffy doesn't want to be worshiped or praised, he does NOT want to be anyone's hero.
I don't know, I can see Zoro looking at Nika and thinking "yeah, he's ridiculous and kind of cool, but that's enough, I want Luffy back."
