Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit class One piece it was always full of incredibly exciting abilities, probably even more interesting than the Logia class. In the Wano Country Arc, Oda revealed the existence of the Mythical Zoan Gods, and in Elbaf he has now added the incredible power of the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhogg. As the name suggests, this is a very powerful dragon-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into Nidhogga from Norse mythology. This One piece The devil fruit was eaten by none other than the cursed prince of Elbaf, Loki. It has tremendous firepower and is easily one of the strongest Devil Fruits in the entire series, especially when wielded by someone with ancient giant blood like Loki.
One Piece: 22 Strongest Zoan Devil Fruits (So Far)
Zoan Devil Fruits give their users amazing abilities. These are the strongest ones introduced so far.
Loki's devil fruit, the Nidhogg, is a mythical type of Zoan dragon
Ryu Ryu no Mi is a very exciting class Devil Fruits in One pieceand Oda has revealed two in this category so far, both belonging to the Mythical Zoan class. The first of these is the Kirin model worn by Saint Killingham of the Holy Knights. The other is the Nidhogg model, wielded by none other than Prince Loki. Loki, who has the power of the Nidhogg Devil Fruit, manifested the moment he declared that he could simply fly back to the Sun World. Shortly after, in One piece Chapter 1174 of Oda unleashed Loki's full transformation and fans saw him completely engulf Elbaf with his massive size.
IN One piece Chapter 1175, Oda added the dragon Nidhogga to the lore. Anyone who eats the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf is said to gain the ability to transform into a Nidhogga, an extremely powerful dragon known primarily for its size. However, the Nidhogg dragon's true power can only be revealed when someone with the lineage of ancient giants eats it. Since ancient giants are much larger than normal giants, if they continue to master the ability of Nidhogg's fruit, they can grow into an even bigger dragon. The size of the Nidhogg itself is directly proportional to the size of the person consuming it, which is why Oda purposefully makes Loki as big as he is.
Nidhogg Devil Fruit provides immense durability and resilience
Since Nidhogg is a massive western dragon, it goes without saying that he has incredible durability and resilience. This durability is enhanced by the fact that Loki also has incredible Giant durability. In fact, Loki's durability may be the best of the series, surpassing even Kaido's. Loki was cast from the solar realm of Elbaf into the underworld as soon as he was born. As a newborn, he survived this year's fall with only a few bruises. This shows that his durability is on a whole different level compared to others. Now that he has the power of the Nidhogg Devil Fruit, this durability is further amplified and he may now be the most durable character in the entire One Piece universe.
On an extremely rare day when lightning and snow combine, a huge beast fills the sky with its presence. And with the sound of the drums of liberation, the Sun God appears. — Jarul, One Piece chapter 1174
The powers and transformations of the Niddhogg mythic Zoan
Loki's sheer size also lends him tremendous strength and speed. Nidhogg is an extremely fast dragon, but more than that, he has some serious power. Its power can easily shatter mountains and destroy entire terrains, making it truly dangerous. As with all, the Nidhogg Devil Fruit grants Loki two specific transformations:
-
His full form, in which he transforms into a full dragon.
-
A hybrid form that allows him to harness the power of the Nidhogg in a hybrid human body, making him much more mobile.
One Piece: The Difference Between Ancient, Mythical, and Artificial Zoan Devil Fruits
Devil Fruits play a huge role in the One piece narrative. See the differences between ancient, mythic and artificial types.
Nidhogg grants lightning manipulation as a special power
As with all Devil Fruits that belong to the Mythical class, the Nidhogg grants the user a special power, and that power is the manipulation of lightning. Whenever Loki takes the form of Nidhogg and flies through the sky, lightning starts to flow and the clouds start to rumble. This shows immense control over lightning on a scale that rivals even Goro of Goro no Mi.
-
Loki can also put his lightning powers into his weapon like Ragnir and bring lightning down from the sky. He can create fires using lightning. Basically, with the power of the Nidhogg Devil Fruit, Loki is able to control both fire and lightning at the same time, which happen to be Elbaf's two biggest weaknesses. When Loki killed King Harald, he used this lightning once more by pouring it into his hammer. This lightning strike was so powerful that it overcame Harald's immortality and finally killed him with a single blow. This shows the ferocious power of his lightning strikes.
-
More than that, in One Piece chapter 1175, Loki used his lightning style attacks to completely destroy all the MMAs created by killing him, again showing tremendous firepower.
Nidhogg is the power of the god of war
The Nidhogg Devil Fruit is quite easily one of the strongest that Oda introduced in One Piece. Since this fruit is directly related to the God of War of Elbaf, it is basically in the same class as the Nika Devil Fruit, making it a God Fruit. Nidhogga is also always accompanied by Ratatoskr, which is an ice squirrel, and currently this ice squirrel resides in Ragnir. As such, Loki's version of Nidhogg also has the ability to manipulate ice via his beloved pet hammer.
This is the judgment of the god of war. Divine protection was simply not with me. — Dorry, One Piece Chapter 119
All together, Loki's Nidhogg fruit power is more than enough to destroy not only Elbaf, but the entire world. The sheer size and ability to rain down lightning on almost any island makes him so powerful that he can destroy countries just by flying over them. What's even more exciting is that Loki hadn't even awakened his devil fruit yet. This means that after Awakening, he must have one more transformation to unlock that will boost his abilities to an even higher level. As this happens, Loki truly becomes unstoppable and can be labeled as the strongest in the world.
It is no exaggeration when the people of Elbaf say that Loki can destroy the world, and it is clear why. As things stand, Loki might be the second strongest character in Elbaf after Ima. It's truly amazing how Shanks was able to compete with him and beat him in battle.
