One Piece has officially unleashed the power of Loki's Devil Fruit in the Elbaf Arc. It goes without saying that it is easily one of the most overpowered abilities that Oda has introduced in the story over the years. Loki's Devil Fruit was deemed to be a monstrously powerful ability that held the potential to destroy not only Elbaf, but the entire world. Now, this power has been shown by Oda in its full glory, and needless to say, it is incredibly impressive.
As is the case with all Mythical Zoan abilities in One Piece, Loki's Devil Fruit power likely holds a special ability as well, and so far, Oda has not explicitly shown it to the fans, but this power has been teased in the story already.
Loki's Dragon Devil Fruit Is A Mythical Zoan
Loki Holds The Power Of The Nidhoggr Dragon
Loki's Devil Fruit was first teased at the very beginning of the Elbaf arc. It was stated that 14 years ago, the greatest King of the country of Elbaf, King Harald, was murdered by his own son, Prince Loki, who came to be known as the Accursed Prince of Elbaf. Loki was then accused of having stolen the legendary Devil Fruit of the country and consumed it. According to the people of Elbaf, this made him similar to the Sun God. The Devil Fruit of Elbaf was said to be the National Treasure of the country and, as such, it was always going to be incredibly overpowered.
In the Elbaf flashback which followed, fans finally got a proper look at Loki's Devil Fruit powers when he fought against King Harald. While Oda chose to keep things in a silhouette, it was clear, at the very least m, that Loki's powers were of the Mythical Zoan type and it allowed him to transform into some sort of creature. More than that, it gave Loki so much power that he was able to absolutely demolish King Harald in battle, and that went to show how overpowered this Devil Fruit was.
It's Official: One Piece Confirms The New Strongest Character In The World
One Piece has a new strongest character, as confirmed by Oda in the latest chapter.
In One Piece Chapter 1174, Oda finally unleashed Loki's Devil Fruit power properly, and it was clear to see that it allowed him to transform into a giant black dragon that engulfed the entire sky over Elbaf. Loki's dragon Devil Fruit likely allows him to transform into the Nidhogg, a mythological creature from Norse mythology, and it goes without saying that it holds tremendous power. As is the case with all Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits, Loki's fruit will also grant him a special power.
Mythical Zoans can be differentiated from other Zoan Devil Fruits by the fact that they allow transformations into mythical creatures and that they all have a special power that separates them from the others. For instance, Sengoku's Mythical Zoan allows him to produce shockwaves from the palms of his hands. Similarly, Katarina Devon's ability to copy the appearance and possibly even the powers of other individuals. Kaido's Mythical Zoan granted him the ability to manipulate certain elements as well as nigh indestructibility, and so on and so forth. In the case of Loki, this special ability could come in two very unique ways, one being the manipulation of fire, and the second being soul damage.
Loki's Hidden Ability Could Be Fire Manipulation
Western Dragons Can Spit Fire
The first thing to keep in mind when considering Loki's Devil Fruit powers is his fire manipulation ability. When Loki first debuted as the Nidhogg Dragon in One Piece Chapter 1174, he was shown utilizing the power of lightning. Quite clearly, Oda is equating lightning with Loki, and that already makes him a very powerful individual. But, as was teased previously in Elbaf, the two biggest weaknesses of the country are lightning and fire. It would make perfect sense for Loki to wield both abilities.
On top of that, Loki is a Western Dragon, and all Western Dragons have the ability to breathe fire. Loki having the ability to manipulate fire and lightning would make it absolutely perfect. It would also complement his weapon Ragnir, which has clearly shown the ability to manipulate ice. In that case, Loki would have both extreme powers at his disposal, and it would make him one of the strongest characters in all of One Piece.
Say, have you heard of the Galleila Band? — Jarul to Harald
Loki's fire would also be necessary in terms of what Oda wants this character to accomplish in the future. If Loki is the one who goes on to free the Giants known as the Galleila Band, then he would need the power of fire to melt the ice that they were trapped in. Once again, that would be very important.
One Piece: Loki's Dragon Devil Fruit, Explained
Loki's black dragon Devil Fruit has finally been revealed, and it is one of the strongest in One Piece history.
Loki Might Be Able To Do Soul Damage With His Devil Fruit
Loki Could Kill A Holy Knight
On top of Loki's incredible ability to manipulate lightning and possibly even spit fire, he also seems to have the ability to do Soul Damage. This was first shown in Loki's fight against King Harald. Despite both Gaban and Shanks fighting Harald and dealing deadly damage with their Conqueror's Haki-infused attacks, they were not able to slow down his regeneration and kill him for good. It was only after Loki ate his Devil Fruit that he was able to completely destroy Harald. Even to someone like Imu, this came as a surprise because Harald was an overwhelmingly powerful weapon that should not have been able to be killed. Yet, Loki managed it with the power of his Devil Fruit.

This leads one to believe that he has the ability to damage the soul directly with his Devil Fruit powers. If that were to be the case, it would make perfect sense as to why Loki's Devil Fruit is as dangerous as it is, because it would make him the direct counter of Imu's contract-binding powers and allow him to save Elbaf properly moving forward.

It would also make sense as to why this Devil Fruit was guarded heavily by the country until 14 years ago. It must be remembered that Loki's Devil Fruit was passed down the royal line for centuries. No one was able to eat this fruit until the right time arrived, and that is when it was eventually consumed by Loki. Perhaps the fruit itself knew that the Great War was almost here and that it was the right time to be unleashed, given that the Demon army would be on the move.
Loki's Devil Fruit allowing him to manipulate fire and deal soul damage would make him the absolutely best character to oppose the influence of Imu and fans absolutely cannot wait to see what Oda does with this incredibly powerful Devil Fruit. Added to that is the power of Ragnir, which cannot be understated at any cost. All these things put together make Loki a monster with various unique abilities capable of rivaling even the sovereign of the world, Imu.
