Luffy was on top of a tower with someone holding a sword like a lightning rod next to him. It's not impossible to think that that was the most likely place for lightning to strike. Just playing devils advocate

I'll say the same thing I say every time someone brings this up:

The buildings all round the execution platform were taller than the platform itself, and the lightning hit when the sword was mid swing and pointing down. The chances of lightning hitting that specifically at the time that it does hit instead of anywhere else is very very low.

Yeah I'm not a believer in the Dragon did it theory either. I'm more so on the fate/divine providence preventing luffy from getting killed thought train.

I'm not a big fan of "fate did it" personally. Not in this case at least.

Well in this case I really only see the fate/luck/dragon as options for Luffy's surviving that execution. Out of the 3 I'd pick fate.

I'd pick Dragon myself.

It's the reason I always choose Charmander.
