This article contains spoilers from the One Piece series.
One piece currently focuses on the Elbaf arc, where Luffy and the Straw Pirates will go up against the powerful forces of the World Government, especially the Holy Knights. On top of that, there's also Saint Imus Nero's threat to get involved as well, which surprised any fan of the story. Saint Imu Nero is the biggest villain in all One pieceand whether Luffy ends up with them in Elbaf or not, there's no denying that the story requires straw pirates to strengthen. With the Monster Trio aiming to gain new Haki abilities in Elbaf, fans are sure to expect the Straw Hats to become stronger. But that's not enough.
One Piece finally reveals the next level of Haki
Advanced Haki is not the last step. Oda reveals a level of mastery beyond that of One Piece.
The crew needs to grow in other ways too, which means recruiting new members and gaining powerful Devil Fruit abilities. In fact, based on Oda's own settings, the straw pirates could very well have gained the very powerful power of the Devil Fruit thanks to Loki. So far, the Straw Hats have four Devil Fruit abilities, which include Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, Hito Hito no Mi, Hana Hana no Mi, and Yomi Yomi no Mi. Loki's legendary Devil Fruit will become the Straw Pirates' fifth ability.
Loki's legendary devil fruit will strengthen the straw pirates

Loki ate the legendary Devil Fruit

Its fruit can destroy the world
Loki is one of the strongest characters in One Piece and that cannot be denied. From an early age he was known to be a monster. However, what really makes him special is the devil fruit he ate. About 14 years ago, Loki fought King Harald at the castle of Aurust of Elbaf and there he was shocked to see the condition of his father.
You are in the presence of the Sun God who will destroy the entire world. — Loki to Luffy
He was eventually forced to attack and potentially kill Harald with his own hands. It is said that over 100 giants died at Aurust Castle that day and Loki slew them all. But that's not even the most revolutionary thing that happened that day.
On that fateful day, 14 years ago, Loki eventually ate the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf which was passed down from generation to generation. According to the people of Elbaf, this devil fruit is incredibly powerful and can destroy not only Elbaf, but the entire world, which is shocking to say the least.
Loki's devil fruit is probably the mythical Zoan
It is unclear exactly what this Devil Fruit is and it will take some time for Oda to reveal the true nature of this Devil Fruit ability to fans. What fans do know for sure, however, is that Loki's Devil Fruit is most likely a mythical Zoan. That's why Loki believes he is the Sun God, all thanks to the Devil Fruit.
My powers are being drained by the sea prism stone I'm currently wearing. — Loki to Luffy
It's time for one piece to enter the next timeskip after 15 years
The One Piece timeskip was 15 years ago, and Oda may be planning a new one in Elbaf soon.
In other words, the Devil Fruit helps him transform into something. Even The Elbaf giants think he is the Sun Godwhich lends further credence to the idea that its fruit is the mythical Zoan. Exactly what it is remains to be seen, but it's certainly a world-destroying mythical Zoan that could end soon strengthening the power of the straw pirates.
Loki's Devil Fruit power makes the Straw Hat Pirates the strongest crew
Straw Hat Pirates are among the most powerful crews in the world already, but it's not their peak and they will get new additions. The fans know it Luffy wants more members and recently invited Loki to join the crew.
At the moment, Loki hasn't joined the Straw Hat Pirates, but the chances of him doing so are very high. If Loki eventually accepts Luffy's offer, Straw Hats gain their fifth Devil Fruit abilityand it will be a legendary force that will make their crew the strongest. Even at that moment the other Yonko will be no match for Luffy and the straw pirates.
