It’s Official: One Piece Confirms Yonko Kaido Has Been Dethroned By A New Character

by

Kaido, often called the King of Beasts, was once among the most powerful characters in the anime and manga series One Piece. He was one of the Four Emperors, first mentioned around the Water 7 storyline. However, his full character and backstory weren’t revealed until the Wano arc. It was then established that Kaido was the strongest being in the world of One Piece, making him the most powerful pirate at the time.

In the latest part of the story, Kaido doesn’t seem as formidable as he used to be. He’s even lost his title of ‘world’s strongest creature’ to a new character: Loki. Chapter 1174 of One Piece officially names Loki as the strongest being, surpassing Kaido as the strongest dragon in the series.

Kaido Was The Strongest Creature At One Point In One Piece

Kaido Held The Power Of The Mythical Dragon Devil Fruit

In the world of One Piece, Kaido was renowned as one of the Four Emperors and widely considered the strongest creature alive. His incredible power came from the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu, a Devil Fruit that let him transform into a massively powerful and nearly indestructible eastern dragon. He could also control wind, fire, and lightning, making him a truly fearsome opponent. Throughout the One Piece world, Kaido was consistently acknowledged as the strongest animal. However, after his defeat in the Wano Country Arc, he no longer holds that title.

So, you’re a pirate, aren’t you? If you let me go, I’ll eliminate any pirate crew you want. — Loki

  • A formidable new character, Loki, has appeared in the world of One Piece. Known as the Accursed Prince of Elbaf, Loki is incredibly powerful, surpassing even Kaido and Big Mom. Like Kaido, he possesses a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a dragon, but Loki’s dragon form is significantly more dangerous and powerful, establishing him as the true King of Beasts in the series.

Kaido Has Officially Been Dethroned By Loki As The Strongest Creature

One Piece chapter 1174 revealed that Loki is a tremendously powerful dragon who possesses a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. Unlike Kaido, who is based on eastern dragons, Loki’s fruit gives him the abilities of a western dragon—likely Nidhogg from Norse legends. Nidhogg is incredibly huge, dwarfing even Kaido in size. But the differences go beyond just size; Loki’s Devil Fruit is significantly more powerful than Kaido’s. It’s considered a national treasure of Elbaf, and rumors say it even has the potential to destroy the world. Overall, Loki’s abilities are much stronger, both offensively and defensively.

On top of everything else, Loki now possesses Ragnir, a famously powerful hammer, making him the strongest Mythical Zoan user in One Piece, possibly even surpassing Luffy. While Kaido was incredibly strong with his dragon abilities, Loki is on a different level. Loki defeated King Harald, who was actually stronger than Rocks D. Xebec, and his power is potentially world-ending – something Kaido could never accomplish.

Although Kaido was known as the world’s strongest being, that reputation probably existed because Loki was absent, dealing with matters in Elbaf. In reality, Loki is the truly strongest character in the One Piece world, and his abilities are far greater than Kaido’s.
