In the One Piece world, Loki’s devil fruit has reached near-mythic status, rumored to be so powerful that Loki was willing to kill his own father to acquire it. The entire population of Elbaf’s giant warriors had to join forces to imprison him, hinting at a power so overwhelming that it could threaten the entire island. This led me to dive deep into Norse mythology and the lore of Elbaf, where I uncovered the top possibilities for Loki’s devil fruit power. Out of over twenty options, I’ve narrowed it down to nine thrilling contenders that fit Loki’s character and story—each one more fascinating than the last.
Let’s dive into these mind-bending possibilities, starting with some of the most awe-inspiring but less likely fruits, leading up to the one that makes the most sense.
1. The Hel Fruit
Although the Hel fruit might be the least likely, there’s intriguing evidence in the manga supporting it. In Chapter 1130, a giant mentions Loki’s devotion to darkness, echoing the mythology where Loki’s child, Hel, rules over the underworld. A devil fruit based on Hel could grant powers over life, death, or even the ability to summon spirits, much like Moria’s shadow abilities but on an elevated scale. Loki having instant death abilities or powers of necromancy? That would explain why his eyes are hidden, though it might be too extreme even for One Piece.
2. The Human-Human Fruit, Model: Odin
A fruit that would rival even the Hel fruit in power, Odin’s abilities in Norse mythology are truly godlike. Known for his omniscience and elemental magic, a devil fruit based on Odin might grant its user mind-reading, foresight, and control over the elements. And since Odin traded his eye for wisdom, Loki’s bandaged eyes could be another nod to this Norse god.
3. The Illusion-Illusion Fruit
The chaotic and surreal environment in the Elbaf arc hints at illusion powers. From shape-shifting cats to giant rabbits, the entire landscape feels illusory, suggesting a devil fruit based on illusions or shapeshifting. This would fit Loki’s trickster persona and tie in with his obscured eyes—what better power than to manipulate reality itself?
4. The Mythical Human-Human Fruit, Model: Prometheus
While Prometheus is Greek rather than Norse, his story of stealing fire and being chained as punishment mirrors Loki’s own introduction. Known as the sun god, Loki’s potential fire-based powers could bring a storm of chaos once he’s freed, perhaps releasing titanic fire abilities upon Elbaf.
5. The Human-Human Fruit, Model: Surtr
Norse mythology’s fire giant Surtr played a massive role in Ragnarok, wielding a gigantic sword during the apocalypse. Loki could embody this fire giant’s powers, especially with the massive sword on Elbaf hinting at such a possibility. A fire-based transformation would align with Loki’s destructive goals and lend to his role in bringing down the world.
6. The God of War Fruit
In Chapter 119, Dorry mentions the “God of War,” a figure worshiped by Elbaf’s giants. This deity could potentially have a devil fruit based on strength, courage, and martial prowess. A fruit tied to this god might empower Loki with titanic strength and battle prowess, allowing him to wield massive weapons and inspire soldiers to fight with fervor. This connection to Elbaf’s warrior culture could hint at why Loki’s devil fruit is so revered.
7. The Fenrir Fruit
This mythical Norse wolf is infamous for its role in triggering Ragnarok. Fenrir’s chains and storyline of world-ending destruction echo Loki’s situation in the manga. In Chapter 1130, we also see giant wolves lurking in the forest, perhaps hinting that Loki’s devil fruit allows him to command these wolves, aiding his survival even while bound. The parallels between Fenrir’s story and Loki’s in One Piece are compelling and make this fruit one of the strongest possibilities.
8. The Nidhogg Fruit
The Nidhogg is a mythical dragon that gnaws at the roots of the Yggdrasil tree, threatening to bring it down. This beast is tied to darkness and chaos, similar to Loki’s own devotion to darkness. We also see the symbol of a dark dragon on the New Giant Warrior Pirates’ ship, possibly linking the dragon and the giants’ royal family. A dark dragon devil fruit could let Loki fly and unleash fire, fulfilling his dream of destroying Yggdrasil itself.
9. The Ultimate Possibility: The God of War, Elbaf Fruit
Ultimately, Loki’s devil fruit could be a legendary Human-Human Fruit, Model: God of War, Elbaf. The fruit’s powers might be linked to superhuman strength, weapon mastery, and even gigantification. Imagine Loki using this power to become an immense, terrifying force, wielding the massive sword we see embedded in the tree. This fruit could also embody powers of inspiration, turning allies into fierce warriors.
Closing Thoughts
Each of these fruits is a thrilling contender for Loki’s power, but the God of War fruit seems the most likely, given Elbaf’s lore and Loki’s brutal path to power. And as the Straw Hats venture deeper into Elbaf, we may see the full power of Loki’s fruit revealed, bringing him head-to-head with the world’s strongest. As epic as that showdown would be, I’m even more excited to see how Usopp’s bravery might play a role in the events ahead!
Thank you for joining me on this journey through mythology, speculation, and manga lore. Let’s see what unfolds next on Elbaf!
