One Piece: The Strongest Alliance In The Final War, Explained

by

The Elbaf arc in One Piece has significantly raised the bar for power levels within the series. Introducing powerful new characters like the Holy Knights, Scopper Gaban, and even Imu, this arc has established incredibly high stakes and demonstrates the immense strength needed for the upcoming Final War.

What’s been most surprising is how popular Loki and his unique abilities have become. Many fans now consider him one of the strongest characters in the final battles of One Piece, and we’re going to explore the reasons behind that.

Chapter 1174 Finally Reveals The Strongest Alliance In The Final War

The Liberator and the Destroyer

Things were finally moving forward in Elbaf, and it looked like the Holy Knights’ plan was about to succeed. Imu was distracted by Brook, and the children of Elbaf seemed destined to fall from the bridge and into the Underworld. But then, something incredible happened – a massive, shadowy figure appeared and saved them, bigger than anything else we’d seen in Elbaf.

It turned out that the creature was Loki, transformed into a massive black dragon. In this form, he completely overshadowed Killingham’s nightmare monsters, which were already huge – far bigger than even the Ancient Giants. Loki’s dragon form was so immense that he could easily fit those monsters in his mouth, making even a powerful being like Gear 5 Luffy seem small in comparison to an Elbaf Giant.

This new information completely changes what fans thought they knew about the upcoming Final War, particularly when combined with Jarul’s puzzling statement. It turns out the legendary Sun God of Destruction, often mentioned by Loki and the Elbaf Giants, is actually a powerful dragon.

Luffy, in his Nika form and riding atop a giant being, radiated joy, signaling a powerful partnership ready for the final battle. While the origins of this being’s powers and its Devil Fruit remain unknown, its immense size and apparent control over the weather have quickly established it as a major force in the world of One Piece.

On a strange day, when thunder clashes with falling snow, a massive creature will emerge, darkening the heavens. A powerful call to freedom will echo, and the Sun God will ascend!

Right now, it’s difficult to imagine how even Imu could handle these two on Elbaf. They’re both incredibly skilled with Haki and possess exceptionally powerful Devil Fruits. Because of this, the Holy Knights’ usual defenses and abilities seem useless against them.

Right now, the biggest danger to Elbaf is Imu, who is probably still more powerful than Luffy and Loki. Based on what we’ve seen so far, it’s hard to imagine how Luffy and Loki could possibly defeat those with the Sun God fruits. It seems likely that Luffy and Loki will be the reason the Giants return to normal, and why the World Government will fail to control the island.

What Are The Powers Of Loki’s Devil Fruit?

The Mysterious Fruit of Elbaf

It’s hard to say for sure what Loki’s abilities are, as we don’t yet know what kind of Devil Fruit he possesses. However, based on his powerful, fully transformed form, many fans believe he might have the Nidhogg Mythical Zoan fruit.

In Norse mythology, Nidhogg is a dragon that lives beneath the World Tree and constantly chews on its roots. While not a perfect match, some see a connection to Loki, who once had a dragon fruit and was chained to a tree for a long time. However, beyond the name, it’s probably a stretch to find many other similarities between Loki’s fruit and the mythical dragon.

I remember when the design for this form first appeared – it was hidden in plain sight in the Elbaf mural, as the dragon at the top of the tree. At the time, most fans didn’t even notice it! Now it’s become clear that the person who ate the Dragon Fruit and the one who ate the Nika Fruit are connected by something bigger than we realized – it seems like fate brought them together.

Beyond its immense size, this fruit’s most striking ability appears to be weather manipulation, as Loki demonstrated by creating snow and lightning storms. This adds to the fruit’s enigmatic nature and incredible power. For now, fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement of its true name and full capabilities.
