Enthusiasts of the One Piece series are buzzing with anticipation as the storyline has now moved into the Elbaf arc. This chapter, which fans have been eagerly awaiting for 25 years, was initially foreshadowed during the pre-time skip era, specifically when the Straw Hat Pirates ventured into the Grand Line around Little Garden. Naturally, with each new arc, Oda skillfully incorporates a plethora of fresh elements tied to that specific location, as well as formidable adversaries for Luffy and his crew to face off against.

Concurrently, Oda enriches the previously astonishing power structure within One Piece, namely Devil Fruits. In Elbaf specifically, Oda has unveiled a legendary Devil Fruit, sparking immense curiosity among fans as to what this fruit entails and the power it embodies. So far, the clues have been sparse, but fans are always eager to speculate about the potential abilities it may possess.

Elbaf’s Legendary Devil Fruit Is Introduced

Loki Ate A Legendary Devil Fruit
This Fruit Was Passed Down Elbaf’s Royal Family

In chapter 1130 of the popular manga series One Piece, author Oda unveiled some background information regarding Elbaf. This particular chapter disclosed that Hajrudin is a royal figure from Elbaf, yet he’s not the sole prince; there’s another one named Loki who resides on Whole Cake Island. Interestingly, these two princes have contrasting personas. Fans are familiar with Loki, as he shares his name with a legendary Norse deity and is known for being quite wicked. From an early age, Loki has been associated with horrific acts, which eventually led to his punishment – crucifixion. Although this may appear excessive, it becomes understandable when one learns about the crimes Loki committed. In a shocking turn of events, Loki is said to have murdered his own father, King Harald, in cold blood.

This legendary devil fruit is passed down Elbaf’s royal line!

It came to light that Loki killed his father due to a mysterious Devil Fruit in Elbaf. This powerful artifact is said to be passed down through generations, and it’s speculated that King Harald possessed it. Whether he actually consumed the fruit or not remains uncertain. Some believe that if King Harold didn’t eat the Devil Fruit, it was because he was safeguarding it for someone special. Loki, apparently desiring this potent artifact, took matters into his own hands by killing his father and consuming the fruit himself. This act granted him unimaginable power, causing the entirety of Elbaf to band together in an attempt to subdue him. Since then, Loki has been imprisoned in Elbaf, and the Giants fear that the day he is freed will bring about disaster, as they believe the world will be destroyed.

Is The Devil Fruit Meant For A Chosen One?

Loki’s Devil Fruit Might Have Chosen Him For A Reason

In two scenarios, Eiichiro Oda might choose to portray the mythical Devil Fruit of Elbaf. One option is that each king of Elbaf consumed this Devil Fruit, considering Giants can live for around 300 to 400 years. With multiple kings having ruled over Elbaf, it’s possible that there have been two or three bearers of this Devil Fruit, potentially including King Harald himself. As fans are aware, upon a user’s demise, the Devil Fruit is reborn in a nearby fruit. This could be the reason Loki killed his own father. If Harald was the one who held the power of this Devil Fruit, then Loki’s actions would have granted him control over its power once the fruit reincarnated.

Loki killed King Harald and ate the fruit!

However, a big hole in this idea is that Loki should not have been able to kill his own father if he did possess this Devil Fruit. Given that Loki is a giant of Elbaf and the Elbaf Giants are all prideful, Loki would most likely not have snuck up on his own dad and killed him. If Harald did die, then it is likely that he battled Loki. Loki killing him if he had eaten this Devil Fruit seems unlikely, which opens up room for another idea.

This Devil Fruit Might Not Have Had Any User

It’s plausible that no one has ever consumed this Devil Fruit before. One could speculate that the last user of this Devil Fruit existed during the Void Century, much like the Gomu Gomu no Mi, and it was destined for a specific individual. There were rumors in ancient times about the person who would eventually consume this Devil Fruit. Loki, famous for his desire to become a Sun God and bring destruction, may have thought he was that chosen one. This could explain why he murdered his own father to gain access to this Devil Fruit, which he then consumed. This theory seems more plausible.

Regardless of the scenario, it’s common knowledge among fans that Loki consumed a fruit imbued with immense power, capable of potentially annihilating the entire universe. In his own perception, Loki considers himself capable of such a destructive act, an astonishing belief indeed.

The Current User Of The Devil Fruit And The Destruction Of The World

Elbaf’s Legendary Devil Fruit Could Hold Massive Importance

In the world of One Piece, it’s evident that Loki currently wields Elbaf’s legendary Devil Fruit. The nature of this Devil Fruit can take two forms: Logia or Mythical Zoan. Given its potential to be a Logia, it’s not hard to understand why. In One Piece, Logia-type devil fruits are often considered the strongest. If Loki possesses a legendary Logia, his power would be sufficient to annihilate the world. This would also align well with Hajrudin’s desire to consume the Mera Mera no Mi, the flame Logia. It’s plausible that Oda intentionally planted this foreshadowing in the storyline.

Nika. Luffy’s devil fruit possesses mystical properties. Similarly, it is plausible that Loki’s Devil Fruit allows him to harness divine powers, considering his self-proclaimed status as the Sun God. It could be that this fruit is connected to the Sun God in some way, possibly a variant or fruit similar to the Nika fruit associated with the Sun God.

Additionally, it’s worth considering that Loki might possess powers belonging to another deity, like Odin, yet his eyes being concealed suggests a connection to those abilities. Maybe, the god he metamorphoses into employs his eyes to wreak havoc on a grand scale, and Odin could certainly fit this description. It’s also plausible that Loki may be endowed with the powers of a mythical beast, such as Jormungandr or Fenrir. These notions are intriguing, and it’s hoped that fans will learn soon what his ‘Devil Fruit’ truly represents.
