This article includes spoilers from the Elbaf Arc of One Piece.
Essential Insights
- Loki has killed his father and wields a legendary Devil Fruit.
- Logia abilities remain rare in One Piece and require greater emphasis.
- Introducing a Logia-type Devil Fruit for Loki could enhance the storyline.
The recent introduction of Loki in the Elbaf Arc of One Piece has generated considerable excitement among fans. This character is poised to play a significant role in the arc, especially given his somewhat sinister persona. Fans are eager to learn more about Loki, including how he killed his father, King Harald, the cruel actions he took in his past, and, most importantly, the details of his legendary Devil Fruit.
Currently, little is known about the powers Loki wields, yet anticipation is high for information regarding his extraordinary abilities. With confirmation that he is a formidable Devil Fruit user, fans are curious about the specific nature of his powers. While a Mythical Zoan is the most probable option, a Logia ability would greatly enhance his character dynamics.
The Legendary Power of Loki’s Devil Fruit
- Loki killed his own father
- Loki consumed a legendary fruit
A compelling argument for Loki possessing a Logia Devil Fruit lies in the uniqueness of his abilities. Fans have already witnessed exceptional fruits in the Paramecia class, such as Whitebeard’s and Luffy’s (which were initially categorized as Paramecia). The One Piece universe is rife with impressive Paramecia abilities, and the same can be said for the Zoan category; many recent introductions fall under the Mythical Zoan classification.
For example, Luffy’s Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika is now confirmed to be a Mythical Zoan. The main antagonists of the series also appear to hold similar abilities, with the recently revealed Five Elders utilizing powers akin to Mythical Zoans, suggesting a connection to demon-like transformations. Even Imu, a mysterious character, is implied to possess a transformation ability that aligns with the Mythical Zoan framework.
The trend of major villains wielding Mythical Zoans—or some variant of transformative Devil Fruits—has fans eager for a shift in narrative direction. While Paramecia fruits are abundant, the Logia class is the one that truly deserves further exploration.
Logia fruits are typically regarded as the most formidable among all Devil Fruits in One Piece. Although Mythical Zoans are rarer, Logia capabilities offer immense power, leaving fans baffled as to why Oda has not incorporated more of these potent abilities among elite characters. While there are examples like Marine Admirals and Blackbeard, many of these figures were introduced before the timeskip.
Since the timeskip, the introduction of a powerful Logia user has been conspicuously absent, which is puzzling considering that the New World is a melting pot for the strongest warriors, making the emergence of robust Logia users seem logical. Thus, a Logia-type Devil Fruit for Loki could significantly elevate the storyline’s stakes.
The Scarcity of Logia Devil Fruits in One Piece
Logia Devil Fruits Deserve More Spotlight in One Piece
Currently, only a limited number of Logia Devil Fruits are showcased in One Piece. To date, there are only 13 Logia fruits, which is relatively low.
The initial Logia introduced was Smoker’s Moku Moku no Mi, while the latest belongs to Karasu, the North Army Commander of the Revolutionary Army, who wields the Susu Susu no Mi. Notable overpowered Logia abilities previously seen include Ace’s Mera Mera no Mi and Blackbeard’s Yami Yami no Mi, both of which are recognized as the strongest in the series, warranting a greater presence of these abilities with powerful characters.
Logia types are indeed the pinnacle of Devil Fruits!
Loki’s circumstances, however, are particularly intriguing. He is known to possess a legendary Devil Fruit that he acquired relatively recently in the narrative. This fruit has historical ties to the royal lineage of the Giants and has been safeguarded for generations. Loki’s consumption of this Devil Fruit links him to the identity of the Sun God, though the specifics of its powers remain a mystery.
Given the context, one might logically infer that Loki’s Devil Fruit is a Mythical Zoan that grants him God-like transformations, particularly as the Elbaf storyline draws from Norse mythology, replete with formidable gods that Oda could introduce as Mythical Zoan powers. However, a Logia would inject new excitement into the tale and rejuvenate a Devil Fruit class that has seen little focus since the post-timeskip era.
Loki Requires a Powerful Logia in Elbaf
A Giant with a Logia is Inevitable
The concept of Loki possessing a Logia-type Devil Fruit isn’t entirely unfounded. In the Dressrosa arc, Hajrudin aimed to acquire the Mera Mera no Mi, a flame Logia, asserting that a Giant wielding a Logia could become unstoppable. Hajrudin’s ambition to consume such a powerful Devil Fruit to rival Loki further reinforces the narrative where Loki is also on a quest for similar power.
“Have you ever seen a Giant with a Logia? Don’t worry, you will!” – Hajrudin
Among the most potent abilities is undoubtedly the Mera Mera no Mi, underpinning Hajrudin’s journey to Dressrosa. This serves as a clear sign from Oda, reinforcing that Logia fruits are simply the strongest classifications in One Piece.
If Loki does indeed possess a Logia-type Devil Fruit, witnessing him harness that power would be exhilarating. So far, fans have not been introduced to any significant Supreme King Haki users among Logia fruit bearers; perhaps Loki would break that trend, offering a thrilling confrontation with Luffy and his own Sun God Nika. Regardless of the direction Oda chooses to take, fans can be certain that Loki’s abilities will be captivating, and any encounter with Luffy is bound to be monumental.
