The Mystery Behind Loki’s Power
The Elbaph arc continues to unravel shocking secrets that could redefine the One Piece world. Among them is the revelation surrounding Prince Loki, the towering Giant who may soon become the next major addition to Luffy’s crew. Recently freed from his Sea Prism Stone shackles, Loki’s hidden abilities and possible connection to a legendary Devil Fruit have become the biggest talking point among fans.
Ever since his imprisonment was revealed, speculation has run wild. The fact that his powers were sealed confirms that he is indeed a Devil Fruit user. Whether Loki joins the crew permanently or simply allies with the Straw Hats, his mysterious fruit and immense strength could make him one of the most powerful characters introduced in years.
A Giant Among Pirates
Loki’s massive size poses a unique challenge for Luffy’s crew — after all, even the Thousand Sunny might look like a toy boat next to him. But having a Giant among the Straw Hats would be a monumental game-changer. His hammer, Ragnir, has already displayed mysterious lightning properties, leading fans to suspect that Loki may possess a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, possibly inspired by the Norse wolf Fenrir.
The implications are enormous. A Devil Fruit linked to Fenrir could grant Loki incredible strength, enhanced speed, and possibly lightning-based attacks. However, others believe that his “legendary” Devil Fruit might have even deeper ties to Elbaph’s myths — and maybe even to the Nika Fruit itself.
The True Identity of Elbaph’s Legendary Devil Fruit
Loki’s backstory complicates things further. His reputation as a murderer of King Harald was revealed to be false, suggesting that someone else may have stolen the legendary fruit from Elbaph’s treasury during that tragic event. Many believe the World Government may have orchestrated the crime to seize the fruit, framing Loki in the process.
One shocking theory connects this mystery to Shanks, who was in Elbaph around 14 years ago — the same time the Gomu Gomu no Mi (Nika Fruit) mysteriously resurfaced. If the Nika Fruit truly originated from Elbaph, it would explain why it was so heavily guarded and why its history has been buried by the World Government.
If that’s true, the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaph might already have found its user in Luffy himself, making him the literal embodiment of the island’s greatest treasure.
The Next Step for the Straw Hats
Whether Loki ends up joining the Straw Hats or not, his presence marks one of the most significant storylines in modern One Piece history. The idea of a Giant ally wielding mythic-level powers fits perfectly with the grand themes of legacy and freedom that define the series.
If Loki truly possesses a Fenrir-inspired Zoan Fruit, his power could rival some of the most dangerous figures in the New World. And if the fruit’s legend ties back to Luffy’s own Devil Fruit, this connection could bring the series full circle — merging the history of Elbaph, the myths of the Sun God Nika, and the destiny of the Straw Hats.
Final Thoughts
Oda continues to weave one of One Piece’s most intricate arcs yet, blending myth, mystery, and emotion in a way that keeps fans theorizing with every new chapter. Whether Loki joins the Straw Hats or remains their giant ally, his connection to Elbaph’s legendary Devil Fruit ensures that this saga will have long-lasting consequences for Luffy’s crew and the One Piece world.
