How would Loki's potential Devil Fruit match up with Luffy's

Key things

• Loki, the long-awaited prince of Elbaf, killed his father for the legendary Devil Fruit.
• Theories suggest that Loki's Devil Fruit may be a mythical Zoan type, perhaps rivaling Luffy's Nika Fruit.
• If a fight between Loki and Luffy were to happen, it could be on the same level due to the legendary nature of their Devil Fruits.

In perhaps the biggest character reveal of all One pieceChapter 1130 of the manga finally showed the long-awaited Prince Loki of Elbaf. The character was first mentioned during the events of Wholecake Island, so fans were expecting the official introduction of the prince of One Piece's the most powerful kingdom. However, when the story finally reached Elbaf, no one could have expected Loki to be so fierce in his design and so formidable in his aura.

In addition to his magnificent appearance, Loki was also said to have killed his father in order to obtain the legendary devil fruit that passed through the royal line of Elbaf. Although nothing is currently known about this Devil Fruit, it is believed to be one that can even rival Luffy's Nika Fruit, so let's go over what it might be and how it can match up to Luffy's legendary Hito Hito no Mi, Model. : Nika

The power of Loki's devil fruit

Possible abilities of this fruit

Before anyone can talk about how Loki's Devil Fruit can match Luffy's Gear 5, the power of the fruit itself must first be established. However, nothing is currently known about this fruit, only that it is a legendary fruit passed down the royal line of Elbaf to anyone who would be king, so there are only a few theories as to what powers it may have.

The first and most commonly believed of these is that this fruit is a mythical Zoan type known as Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Jormungandr. There are several symbolic references as to why this might be, namely the fact that in Norse mythology Jormungandr and Loki share a very close bond and that Loki wants to cause the end of the world, something that Jormungandr also does.

I am the Sun God who will bring about the end of the world!

In addition, there has been a theory circulating in the fandom regarding so-called 'God Fruits', where a Skype panel is used as a reference point to talk about various gods. This was the first mention of the Sun god, which was finally confirmed with Nika. With that in mind, there is also a mention of an Earth god, which could very well be Jormungandr, considering how in Norse mythology the serpent is wrapped around the Earth and the act of uncoiling it is what causes the destruction of the world.

In addition, there are other theories that this legendary devil fruit is the mythical Zoan, one of which claims that it is Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Fenrir, according to how Loki is chained in the frosty suburbs of Elbaf, like like Fenrir. he is bound in Norse mythology and is also another child of Loki. The latest theory about Loki's fruit being the mythical Zoan is that it is the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Elbaf, a monumental giant modeled after the earth god. The theory is that the massive sword on Elbafa actually belonged to this God.

However, if the Mythical Zoans are to be believed, this fruit could be another species, although just another type of Logia would not suit such a legend. So this devil fruit only leaves a type of Paramecia that could give Loki the power to alter or bend reality to some extent, which is also contextually supported due to how Loki's appearance has seemingly changed from his first mention to his behavior as well. Loki is known as the God of Mischief, so the power to bend reality and change it to his will is also possible.

How could Loki fight against Luffy

Could these abilities stop the Gear 5?

A hypothetical battle between these two figures is currently impossible to quantify simply because the actual strength of both sides of this fight remains a mystery. Not only is nothing known about Loki's fruit, but the true extent of Gear 5's abilities is also unknown, as Luffy never went full out when using the form, he just found it difficult to damage the 5 Elders.

Despite this, however, one can speculate. If Loki's fruit is in fact one of the previously mentioned as the theories suggest, then the fight could be on a much more equal footing than Luffy's fights against Kaido or Lucca. Throughout the whole One piece story, only 2 Devil Fruits have ever been called legendary; Luffy's Nika Fruit and whatever Loki owns so it shows they can be on a similar level.

His desperate desire for the legendary devil fruit passed down through the Elbaf royal line led him to kill his father, King Harald, and eat the fruit!

If it ends up being one of the other 3 'God Fruits' from Skypiea's panel, then Luffy really has his work cut out for him. This is mainly because the abilities of the other God Fruits could be close to his own, so they would probably be at a relative level of power and have similar abilities, resulting in the fight between him and Loki being equal. Likewise, if Loki's fruit is a reality-bending Paramecia or something along those lines, then Luffy would probably be in for his toughest battle yet.
