Loki’s mythical Devil Fruit is obvious, but he’s not the Sun God

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of immersion in the realm of One Piece, I can confidently say that Loki, the Prince of Elbaph, is no ordinary character. With his towering stature and enigmatic aura, it’s clear he’s hiding something massive under that rugged exterior – quite literally!


In Chapter 1130 of One Piece, a massive character was unveiled – none other than Loki, the Noble of Elbaf.

Although we’re not well-versed in the details about this colossal and enigmatic figure, there are three indisputable facts: He possesses immense strength, harbors a conviction that he is a divine Sun Deity destined to bring about an end to the world, and wields a formidable Mythical Devil Fruit.

It’s not surprising at all that among various things, the Devil Fruit has gained a lot of interest, with many theories floating around about its potential abilities online. However, I find it quite clear which fruit Loki mocked and what powers he might possess.

Loki has consumed the Inu Inu Zoan Fruit, modeled after Fenrir, which allows him to transform into the fearsome wolf from Norse legends foretold to trigger Ragnarok.

How did I come to know this information? My uncle does not work for Shonen Jump, nor has he provided me with exclusive details. Instead, I am discerning the hints that Oda has left for us. Let’s begin by discussing the most apparent: Loki is not a typical fruit-bearer; we are informed that he murdered his father, King Harald, in order to obtain a “legendary” power.

In simpler terms, when we use the word “legendary” to describe something, it means it’s exceptionally powerful or rare – almost like a myth. Since only the most powerful and unusual fruits are thought of as mythical Zoans, this implies that Loki may have consumed a fruit granting him the ability to transform into an extraordinary, legendary creature.

To date, we’ve witnessed Zoan users transform into dragons, phoenixes, and even deities. It’s not unthinkable that a fruit could grant such power to bring about the Nose apocalypse, given the strong influence of Viking mythology on Elbaph and the giants.

Loki’s power, derived from a destructive fruit, accounts for the giants’ fear of his escape and the prince’s warning about ending the world. This fruitful prophecy suggests Loki will bring about global destruction. Furthermore, additional proof substantiates this claim.

Initially, we encounter Loki tied to a tree at the heart of Elbaph. In Norse folklore, the gods had foreseen Fenrir’s part in Ragnarok and thus decided to restrain him, hoping he would not ignite the world (unfortunately, their plan failed).

In the mythology we know as Norse, Fenrir is the one who ultimately slays Odin. However, in the world of One Piece, Loki takes a similar path by murdering his father, Harald, to obtain his Devil Fruit. Although Oden and Odin are different characters, it’s fascinating to note the intriguing parallels that exist between these tales.

Of course, there’s one huge hole in this idea. Why would Loki claim to be the Sun God if his power is to become a giant wolf? Well, I’m glad you asked, hypothetical reader I built up just to knock down.

As a gamer delving into the tales of Ragnarok, I’ve found that Fenrir, depending on the story you read, is associated with the sun. In certain interpretations, he devours it completely, casting the world into an unending night, while in others, his offspring are the ones who carry out this deed for him. Regardless, Fenrir stands as the one who extinguishes the lights when the end comes around.

As a devoted admirer, it strikes me that Loki might well be aware of his preordained role given his ability to extinguish the sun. In essence, isn’t he, in a sense, a solar deity if one who can perform such feats? After all, what other fitting title could there be for someone possessing such power over our radiant sun?
