One Piece: Loki’s Dragon Devil Fruit, Explained

by

I just read Chapter 1174 of One Piece, and it finally showed us Loki’s Devil Fruit power! Fans have been anticipating this reveal for months, and it looks incredibly strong – possibly one of the most powerful Devil Fruits we’ve seen in the whole series.

I’ve been following the theories about Loki’s powers for ages, and it’s finally confirmed! Oda has officially revealed that Loki actually has a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit – a dragon! Honestly, it’s easily one of the most powerful fruits we’ve seen in the story. We don’t know everything it can do yet, but Oda has already given us a good look at just how incredible this fruit is.

Loki Has A Dragon Devil Fruit In One Piece

Loki’s Fruit Belongs To The Mythical Zoan Class

The topic of Loki’s Devil Fruit arose early in the Elbaf arc, immediately after his introduction as the Accursed Prince. Eiichiro Oda revealed that Loki ate Elbaf’s legendary Devil Fruit 14 years prior, initially portraying Loki as someone who stole it. However, a flashback later explained the truth: Loki ate the fruit to prevent Harald from consuming it and potentially letting it fall into the hands of Imu. This fruit allowed Loki to transform into a massive creature, enabling him to defeat Harald decisively. The power of the fruit was so significant that it even impacted Imu. Loki’s victory over Harald was complete, surpassing what even powerful figures like Shanks and Gaban could have achieved.

Chapter 1174 of One Piece officially confirmed what fans had suspected: Loki’s Devil Fruit power allows him to transform into a dragon. Hints about this were dropped in Chapter 1172 when Loki mentioned his ability to fly, and his transformation into a large, clawed creature further suggested a serpentine, flying form. Now, One Piece Chapter 1174 has revealed the Dragon Devil Fruit is the source of Loki’s powers.

Loki’s Devil Fruit allows him to transform into a huge black dragon – a Western-style dragon, unlike Kaido’s. This dragon is incredibly massive; even giants appear tiny next to him. It’s said Loki is capable of destroying entire islands, and some even believe he’s destined to destroy the world.

Loki’s Dragon Can Manipulate Lightning

The Strongest Creature In The World

Loki’s Dragon Devil Fruit gives him the impressive ability to control lightning. Hints of this power appeared even before we learned about his past. He demonstrated it earlier by summoning lightning with Ragnir, igniting a large branch in Elbaf. Now, in Chapter 1174 of One Piece, Loki used his devil fruit powers during a thunderstorm, creating a truly intimidating display of his strength. It’s clear that Loki has the potential to unleash devastating attacks if he chooses to.

In One Piece chapter 1174, Loki proved to be a hero when children began falling from the Sun World of Elbaf into the Underworld. He quickly appeared and rescued them. Alongside Loki were Luffy, embodying the Sun God Nika, and Ragnir. These three characters are now poised to confront Imu and create significant trouble for him.

Loki’s Dragon Ability Is Likely The Nidhogg Dragon

Inspired By Norse Mythology

It’s clear that Loki’s Devil Fruit power is based on the Nidhogg dragon. In Norse mythology, Nidhogg is a massive serpent that gnaws at the roots of the Yggdrasil tree. This mirrors Loki’s own imprisonment, chained to the roots of the Adam Tree in the Elbaf underworld. Interestingly, Nidhogg is also known as a lightning dragon within the One Piece universe, and Loki is a giant dragon with the ability to control lightning. All evidence points to Loki possessing the Nidhogg Devil Fruit, making him an incredibly powerful character.

Loki’s Devil Fruit ability gives him complete control over lightning, and combined with his Ragnir power, he can also control ice. Given that he’s essentially a Western dragon – known for breathing fire – and calls himself the Sun God, it’s natural he’d be able to manipulate fire as well. This means Loki can control lightning, ice, and fire simultaneously, making him a tremendously powerful character in One Piece.

Loki’s Devil Fruit Makes Him The Strongest In Elbaf

Loki Is A Worthy Rival To Imu

One Piece chapter 1174 makes it clear: Loki is the most powerful figure in the history of Elbaf. His Devil Fruit lets him transform into a massive dragon, capable of overwhelming and destroying entire islands. Oda previously described Loki as a world-destroyer, and considering his immense power, it’s easy to understand why he could potentially obliterate the entire One Piece world if he chose to.

Loki is incredibly powerful, on par with ancient weapons, and even surpasses that when considering abilities granted by figures like Ragnir. He’s significantly stronger than Luffy in his Sun God Nika form, and could even match the power of Imu. The mystery of how Shanks defeated Loki six years ago continues to deepen with each new chapter of One Piece, and while Oda hasn’t explained it yet, it’s likely to be revealed eventually. Currently, Loki’s dragon Devil Fruit has firmly established him as the strongest character in Elbaf.

One Piece Chapter 1174 drops on February 15, 2026.
