Loki’s Introduction In One Piece Was Chaotic

Loki Meets Luffy
Loki Declares Himself To Be The Sun God

Loki was introduced in One Piece chapter 1130. In this chapter, fans finally saw the Straw Hat Pirates step foot on the real Elbaf, after escaping from the detention center, or, in other words, the Block City. As soon as the Straw Hats stepped foot outside, Luffy felt a strange presence. In fact, according to Luffy, this presence was so strong that he started getting goosebumps. Zoro and Sanji stayed behind, while Luffy went to look for this presence, and eventually came across an absolutely monstrous giant.

That Loki is the shame of Elbaf! – Giants

As I delved deeper into the world created by Oda, the colossal figures of Elbaf were used to shed light on the enigmatic character of Loki. It seems Loki was notorious for his mischief-making and malevolence beyond compare. He left a trail of heinous acts in his wake, ultimately leading to his sentencing to crucifixion. The specifics of his punishment’s origin remain unclear, but it appears Loki’s fate was sealed when he took the life of his own father, King Harald. Harald reigned over Elbaf and possessed a powerful Devil Fruit – one legendary for its immense strength. This fruit held great significance to Loki, who viewed himself as a divine entity and believed that wielding this mythical artifact would elevate him to the status of the Sun God.

In a daring move, Loki managed to slay Harald and consume the Devil Fruit, granting him an extraordinary power boost. To subdue Loki and set the stage for his crucifixion, Elbaf’s citizens had to pool their might, ultimately resulting in Loki being bound in the rocky mountains at the heart of the nation. It was during One Piece chapter 1130 that Luffy encountered Loki, and viewers could clearly see he was a formidable adversary. Despite being restrained and significantly weakened, Loki remains self-assured in his skills, viewing himself as the Sun God destined to annihilate the world.

As a dedicated fan, it seems clear that Loki firmly believes he’ll break free from his shackles someday. And just to keep the tale intriguing, it appears that the prophecy dictates his release as a pivotal moment leading straight to Ragnarok.

Loki’s Claim Of Destroying The World

Loki Believes He Has Enough Strength To End Everyone

Absolutely, it’s natural for fans to wonder how Loki could potentially bring about the end of the world. It’s not a trivial matter, given that Loki is capable of such destruction. However, it’s not just Loki who believes this; the Giants of Elbaf have seen his power firsthand and are convinced that if Loki were ever freed from his restraints, he would indeed destroy their realm, and potentially the entire world. Fans should remember that in One Piece, only those who possess the Gura Gura no Mi, a power capable of destroying worlds, or are associated with one of the three Ancient Weapons can realistically bring about global destruction.

And I’m the Sun God who will destroy the world! – Loki

For instance, Whitebeard’s devil fruit was said to hold the power to sink the entire world. Similarly, the ancient weapons can all destroy the world if utilized, which means Shirahoshi, Imu, and one other unknown individual, are the only ones who can sink the world as things stand. Blackbeard is another individual, due to having the power of the Gura Gura no Mi, and now, Loki has been thrown into the mix.

As a gamer immersed in this world, it’s clear that the Giants vouch for Loki having an exceptionally potent Devil Fruit. The only logical conclusion is that Loki’s fruit bestows divine powers upon him, making him a godly figure. Since Loki fancies himself as the Sun God, it’s evident his fruit confers the powers of a celestial entity, similar to the Hito Hito no Mi. Just like Luffy with the Nika Fruit, Loki might possess a power connected to Nika, which fuels his belief in being the Sun God. Alternatively, Loki could wield another godly fruit that grants him immense strength.

How Loki Can Destroy The World

Loki Will Not Destroy The World Because He Isn’t The Sun God

It strongly suggests that the legendary Devil Fruit Loki possesses grants him immense power capable of destroying the world. This fruit may share similar destructive capabilities as the Gura Gura no Mi, which can submerge entire islands. Loki might be able to erase islands from existence using his divine powers, or alternatively, he could harness his strength in unusual ways, such as commanding a natural force to bring about global destruction. In any case, it is clear that Loki’s Devil Fruit can destroy the world, and it’s up to Luffy to prevent this catastrophe at all costs.

A more straightforward way of expressing this could be: It’s crucial to consider that Loki might not end the world, given he may be misunderstanding a prophecy. This is significant because Loki and all the Giants of Elbaf reverence the Sun God. Notably, the Sun God was known for spreading happiness and liberating people from bondage wherever he went. It’s likely that Loki is aware of this, and his claim to be the Sun God suggests he views himself positively.

Loki might believe that he’s destined to bring about the end of the world based on a misunderstood prediction. In truth, this prophecy could be linked to the Sun God and the dismantling of the order established by the Founding 20 following the collapse of the Ancient Kingdom. This order needs to be overthrown. Much like Luffy is foretold to destroy Fishman Island, he, among others, must symbolically disrupt the current global system as well, since the World Government’s grip on the world must crumble.

It’s possible that Loki interprets this situation differently due to his belief in being a Sun God, leading him to think he needs to destroy the world. However, if Loki recognizes Luffy as another Sun God, he may choose to ally with him instead of causing destruction. Meanwhile, it seems that the one who poses a threat to Elbaf and potentially the entire world is likely Imu, which might become clearer as this arc unfolds.
