This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf arc.
Summary
- Elbaf holds a legendary Devil Fruit tied to Nika worship.
- Loki did not eat the Fruit; it was likely stolen by the World Government.
- Luffy ended up eating the Fruit meant for Elbaf, originally found by Shanks.
One Piece is currently in the Elbaf arc, where a lot of exciting mysteries are finally being revealed by Oda, even bits and pieces of the Void Century, and the First World that existed long before that. At the same time, Oda has also given the fans a glimpse of some of the biggest powers of the world, such as Imu, and even legendary Devil Fruits.

The Yonko are powerful, but Oda has revealed characters even stronger in One Piece.
When the Elbaf arc of One Piece began, Oda made it immediately clear to the fans that Elbaf housed a legendary Devil Fruit that was passed from one generation to another. It was said that this Devil Fruit was eventually eaten by Loki, however, this might not be true at all. The legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf has already been revealed by Oda.
Elbaf Holds A Legendary Devil Fruit
- Elbaf Has Held A Legendary Fruit For Centuries
- Loki Is Said To Have Eaten It
Immediately after the beginning of the Elbaf arc, fans found out interesting lore about the King of the country, King Harald. At the same time, fans also found out bits about Prince Loki, who was revealed to be the killer of King Harald and the man who stole Elbaf's Legendary Devil Fruit and consumed it. Loki is widely known as the Sun God who will destroy the world, and he fiercely believes this idea himself. Over the last few months, fans have been eagerly waiting to see what Loki's Devil Fruit is, and while Oda has kept it a secret so far, Elbaf's legendary Devil Fruit’s identity is now quite clear.
I am the Sun God who will destroy the world! — Loki
Elbaf's Legendary Devil Fruit Was The Gomu Gomu no Mi
The Fruit Was Likely Stolen By The World Government
If there's one thing about Elbaf that fans should know, it is that the country is deeply tied to Nika. They worship Nika as a God, and they believe Nika will return one day. In fact, most Giants want to become Nika, and that only means the Devil Fruit that was likely held and passed down generations was actually the Nika fruit.
This country would've been mine already if it weren't for Harald! — Imu
One Piece: Oda Finally Confirms Zoro's New Haki
Zoro is powerful, and Oda has finally confirmed the new type of Haki he possesses in One Piece.
To the fans, this might be confusing, especially since the Devil Fruit is said to have been eaten by Loki, but the truth is far from that. For one, everything that the Elbaf Giants know about Harald and his death is a lie. Loki never killed Harald, and it is highly likely that Imu and the World Government were deeply involved here. If Harald, who was potentially allied with the World Government, was betrayed, then it is highly likely that the Government stole Elbaf's treasure to prevent Nika from returning.
The Fruit that Loki ate was either a replacement for the Nika fruit, or perhaps Loki might even be lying about eating a Devil Fruit to prevent chaos from erupting in Elbaf.
The Fruit Was Eventually Eaten By Luffy
If Elbaf's Legendary Devil Fruit was stolen by the World Government on the day of Harald's death 14 years ago, it is highly likely that Shanks set out in its quest immediately and wanted to retrieve it. 13 years ago, Shanks found it on a Government vessel, which explains why he took it from CP9. One thing led to another and Luffy ate the fruit, but it was originally meant to reach Elbaf.
