This arc is shaping up to be epic, and I can hardly wait to see where Oda takes us next!

To date, Elbaf has unveiled an array of astonishingly powerful new Devil Fruit abilities for fans, given its mythological background, we anticipate that this storyline will introduce some of the most formidable ones yet. Recently, Oda has hinted at a fresh legendary dragon Devil Fruit on Elbaf, following the introduction of one that was very perilous in Wano, which was once owned by the former Yonko of the Sea, Kaido. This new one could potentially be even more remarkable, and fans are eager to witness how Oda will utilize it.

The Dragon Devil Fruits Of One Piece So Far

  • Kaido’s Dragon Devil Fruit Was Majestic
  • Other Dragon Fruits Exist In One Piece

In terms of Zoan-type Devil Fruits, fans have long been captivated by the idea that legendary creatures are amazingly intriguing. From the moment the Mythical Zoan types were unveiled, fans anticipated that Oda would eventually incorporate a dragon into the story, and he did just that with the character of Kaido. In the Wano Country Arc, it was finally disclosed to the viewers that Kaido is indeed a bearer of a Dragon Devil Fruit.

Simply put, Kaido possesses the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryuu, a powerful Zoan Devil Fruit that grants him the ability to transform into an indestructible azure dragon. His dragon form is equipped with incredible durability and can generate fire capable of obliterating entire mountains, produce lightning, and create wind slices sharp enough to cut through Luffy. Furthermore, his transformation provides him with elemental manipulation abilities, a unique trait among the Devil Fruits in One Piece.

Readers are well aware that One Piece incorporates some formidable dinosaur-like creatures, often referred to as dragons within the storyline. This suggests that these beasts belong to the Ryu Ryu no Mi category. For example, King’s Pteranodon and Queen’s Brachiosaurus are examples of the Ryu Ryu no Mi. The majority of the Tobiroppo possess their unique Ryu Ryu no Mi fruits, with Black Maria being the sole exception who had the Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli.

Firstly, we encounter Momonosuke, who possesses a clone of Kaido’s Devil Fruit, distinctively pink rather than blue. It’s clear that One Piece’s world harbors some extraordinary dragons, yet there are a few more out there waiting to make their appearance in the narrative. It’s just a question of when author Eiichiro Oda decides to weave them into the storyline.

Oda Teases The Legendary Dragon Nidhoggr In Elbaf

The Legendary Western Dragon Could Finally Appear

It’s well-known among fans that dragons come in various forms, and as of now, the only type seen is an eastern dragon devil fruit in “One Piece”. The bulk of other dragon devil fruits are actually dinosaurs. However, it’s reasonable to assume that there’s a Devil Fruit power out there capable of transforming into a western dragon since western dragons do exist in folklore.

In the intriguing universe of One Piece, it is undeniably true that Western Dragons are not mere figments of imagination but real creatures, as evident by Vegapunk’s ability to clone them on Punk Hazard. To shed more light, two of these dragons were observed in Elbaf, and they possessed immense power. The first one to emerge was Dragon Number 13, which met its end at the hands of Zoro, mirroring the tale of Ryuma from Monsters.

In anger, the God of Earth unleashed his fury, joining forces with the Serpent of Flaming Inferno, enveloping the world in a veil of destruction and gloom.

Additionally, there was Dragon Number 21, relatively smaller but exceptionally agile. This dragon, like its counterparts, was crafted by Vegapunk on Punk Hazard within the One Piece universe. It’s evident that these dragons are real entities, implying that their unique Devil Fruit abilities undoubtedly exist and will eventually be unveiled. Interestingly, Oda has already showcased a legendary dragon in Elbaf, and it seems inevitable that this dragon too will become a Devil Fruit ability in the upcoming arc.

In chapter 1142 of One Piece, Saint Sommers invoked his unique abilities, causing the children’s fears to manifest. Among these fears was the legendary dragon Nidhoggr, revered in Norse mythology for its extraordinary power. This dragon is known to chomp on the roots of Yggdrasil, the World Tree. Moreover, it can unleash incredibly fiery flames. In certain adaptations, Nidhoggr is also referred to as the lightning dragon. The existence of this dragon in the One Piece universe suggests that it may be a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit residing somewhere within the storyline.

Who Should Have The Nidhoggr Devil Fruit?

Loki Seems To Be The Prime Candidate

Undeniably, when discussing characters with the power granted by a Devil Fruit like Nidhoggr, Loki is often the character that comes to mind. In the first place, enthusiasts are aware that Loki was bound to the roots of the Yggdrasil Tree, which bears similarities to Nidhoggr’s role gnawing at it. Secondly, this power endowment would equip Loki with the ability to emit fire, effectively making him the embodiment of Elbaf’s vulnerability, specifically towards fire and lightning. Moreover, the mythical Zoan is known for its grandeur and overpowering nature, and a character like Loki certainly fits the bill for such powerful abilities.

Certainly, Loki’s powers regarding the Devil Fruit are still uncertain at this point, but fans would undeniably be thrilled if he were to obtain it. It seems only a matter of time before Loki’s Devil Fruit is disclosed in the story as One Piece nears his final liberation from confinement. Keep your gaze fixed on the upcoming chapters, where Loki will likely showcase his Devil Fruit power.

You can access the popular manga series “One Piece” through Viz Media. Fans are able to read it officially and without charge on both the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. Mark your calendars, as the next chapter of One Piece, titled “One Piece 1143”, is slated for release on March 23, 2025.
