This article contains spoilers from the One Piece series.
One Piece is currently focused on the Elbaf arc, where Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates will go up against the powerful forces of the World Government, specifically the Holy Knights. To add to that, there is also the threat of Saint Imu Nerona to throw into the mix as well, which has surprised every single fan of the story. Saint Imu Nerona is the biggest villain in all One Pieceand whether Luffy ends up fighting them in Elbaf or not, it cannot be denied that the story calls for the Straw Hat Pirates to become stronger. With the Monster Trio aiming to gain new Haki powers in Elbaf, fans are really expecting the Straw Hats to get stronger. But that is 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 in One Piece.
The crew also needs to grow in other ways, which means recruiting new members and gaining powerful Devil Fruit abilities. In fact, based on Oda's very own attitude, The Straw Hat Pirates could very well gain a very strong Devil Fruit power, thanks to Loki. Currently, the Straw Hats have four Devil Fruit abilities, they are 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 be the fifth ability for Straw Hat Pirates.

Loki ate a legendary Devil Fruit

His fruit can destroy the world
Loki is one of the strongest One Piece characters and there is no denying it. He was known to be a monster from a very young age. However, What really makes him special is the devil fruit he ate. About 14 years ago, Loki fought King Harald in Aurust Castle in Elbaf and there he was shocked to see his father's condition.
You are in the presence of the sun god who will destroy the whole world. — Loki to Luffy
Eventually he was forced to attack and potentially even kill Harald with his own hands. It is said that over 100 giants died in Aurust Castle that day, and Loki slaughtered them all. But that's not even the most groundbreaking thing that happened that day.
That fateful day, 14 years ago, Loki ended up eating the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf which was passed down through generations. According to the residents of Elbaf, this Devil Fruit is incredibly powerful and it can destroy not only Elbaf, but the entire world, which is shocking to say the least.
Loki's devil fruit is likely mythical Zoan
It is unclear exactly what this Devil Fruit is and it will be a while before Oda reveals the true nature of this Devil Fruit ability to the fans. But what fans know for sure is that Loki's Devil Fruit is most likely a Mythical Zoan. This depends on Loki believes he is the sun god, all thanks to the Devil Fruit.
My power is drained by the sea price stone I'm wearing right now. — Loki to Luffy
It's time for One Piece to enter another time jump after 15 years
One Piece's time jump was 15 years ago, and Oda might be planning another one soon in Elbaf.
In other words, the Devil Fruit helps him turn into something. Also Elbaf Giants believe he is the sun godgiving further credence to the idea that his fruit is a mythical zoan. Exactly what it is remains to be seen, but it's certainly a world-destroying Mythical Zoan, and it may end soon increase the power of Straw Hat Pirates.
Loki's Devil Fruit Power will make the Straw Hat Pirates the strongest crew
The Straw Hat Pirates are among the most powerful crews in the entire world already, but this is not their peak and they will have new additions. The fans know that for sure Luffy wants more members and he recently invited Loki to join the crew.
right now, Loki has not joined the Straw Hat Pirates but the chance that he will is very high. If Loki finally accepts Luffy's offer, Straw Hats will get their fifth Devil Fruit abilityand it will be a legendary power that will make their crew the strongest. On that point even the other Yonko will be no match for Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates.
