This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf Arc.
One Piece is currently in its final stretch, and fans know very well that the story is incredibly heated right now, given the chaos that has arisen in the land of Elbaf. Oda has been slowly introducing fans to the final villains in One Piece and build up to the great war. With some of the most exciting battles slowly building up, Oda has also revealed incredible abilities to fans.
One Piece: Oda Reveals The Three Strongest Devil Fruits In The Elbaf Arc
One Piece's Elbaf has shown off many powerful Devil Fruits, but these three are the very best.
The Final Saga has seen the introduction of many top class characters who have powerful abilities. Some of them even have god powers up their sleeves. During the Wano arc, fans were made aware of the fact that God Devil Fruits exist in the world of One Pieceand these forces have now appeared one by one. So far in the final saga, Oda has introduced two more god-level abilities, and there is still the potential for more to appear later.
The Nika fruit was the first god's one piece devil fruit

Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika first appeared in the Wano Country Arc

That makes Luffy the sun god
When it comes to the God Devil Fruits of the One Piece world, the very first that fans got a proper look at was Luffy's Nika Devil Fruit. Nika was first teased by Who's Who in the Wano Country Arc, and it wasn't until much later in the arc that Nika made her first appearance.
During Luffy's fight against Kaido, he faced crushing defeat several times, but during his final defeat, things changed. Luffy received a killing blow from Kaido and his heart had stopped for a moment. At this very moment, his mind and body caught up with his abilities, and it led to the awakening of his Devil Fruit. It was revealed to fans that Luffy's real Devil Fruit was actually the Hito Hito no Mi model: Nika. With the awakening of this Devil Fruit, Luffy essentially transformed into the Sun God Nika and received a new transformation, which is what he refers to as Gear 5, which has taken his abilities to the absolute maximum.
This freewheeling battle…I've never seen anything like it before. He uses the powers of Armament and Conqueror's Haki to the maximum! — Kaido on Luffy's Gear 5
With Gear 5, Luffy can use much more strength than ever before, and most importantly, he can bend reality as well, as his own imagination is his only limitation. Whether it's things that don't make sense or things that should be impossible for a normal human to pull off, Luffy can do anything as long as he puts his mind to it. With the power of Gear 5, Luffy could defeat even the likes of Kaido, and it shows how deadly the godly Devil Fruits are One Piece is.
Since then, Oda has introduced more God Devil Fruits to fans, and it goes without saying that the Final Saga will reveal even more later on. Imu, the ruler of the world, was quite recently confirmed to have a powerful God Devil Fruit, and in the Elbaf arc, Loki's Devil Fruit was shown to be a divine power capable of destroying the world as well

Imu's Devil Fruit is a God power that is even greater than Nika right now
The Elbaf arc in One Piece has done an amazing job when it comes to revealing the ultimate abilities found in the world of One Piece. While fans initially only got to see a handful of exciting abilities from the Holy Knights, everything turned around when Imu arrived in the most anticlimactic fashion of this arc. After taking over Gunko's body, Imu channeled her immense power in this arc, and it was clear to see that their Devil Fruit was a divine power.
Imu's Devil Fruit was first teased in the Reverie Arc of One Pieceand then they were seen consuming Sabo's flames effortlessly. Imu was also seen stabbing Sabo and killing King Cobra effortlessly. Now in Elbaf, more of their powers have been revealed to fans, and it goes without saying that their godly Devil Fruit is even stronger than Luffy's.
One Piece: Oda officially reveals a Yonko-level admiral
Admirals are usually weaker than Yonko, but this Admiral is an exception in One Piece.
At its core, Imu's Devil Fruit ability allows them to use various alliances. Imu can take the lifespan of others and give them immense powers in return. Through the means of this association, Imu can turn almost anyone into her eternal slaves. Even without using the power of covenants, Imu can turn people into her loyal slaves using the power of Domi Reversi. Clearly, this power seems to be the exact opposite of Luffy's Gear 5, which brings smiles and joy to people.
Imu also seems to have some sort of spell bookand they have gigantic wings and a massive tail. Clearly, the Imu refer to themselves as the Demon God, and Oda will surely reveal more about their demonic Devil Fruit powers later.
Elbaf also uncovered Loki's legendary Devil Fruit

Loki refers to himself as the sun god

His Devil Fruit power is deadly
Another divine Devil Fruit power that Oda went on to confirm in the Elbaf arc of One Piece belongs to none other than Loki. Fourteen years ago, Loki fought and defeated King Harald of Elbafand he did it with the legendary Devil Fruit of the country. For centuries this Devil Fruit was untouched, but Loki became the first person to eat it in hundreds of years.
This strength, it ripples through him. It's almost scary. And now he is immortal. It chills the spine. He is more than a monster. At this point, he's a weapon. — The five elders about King Harald, a piece of chapter 1168
The true nature of Loki's Devil Fruit has not been revealed yetbut it goes without saying that this power is far greater than anything fans can imagine. In fact, this power is so huge that it can hurt even Imu, as seen in the last chapters of One Piece. Loki's Devil Fruit ability is truly comparable to Luffy's Nika or even Imu's own power. As such, Loki's power is clearly a god-like ability, and fans absolutely cannot wait to see more of it later.
More God Level Devil Fruits will be coming in Elbaf
With Nika, Imu and Loki, Oda is already establishing a pretty powerful bunch of god-level Devil Fruit abilitiesand fans know very well that more will appear in the world of One Piece later in the line. To begin with, it is clear that the god of rain, the god of the earth, the god of the sea, and even the god of the forest are found in One Piece world. Just as the sun god has his own devil fruit power, so must the other gods living in the world of One Piece.
Slow but steady, everyone these mighty gods will make their presence known and add to the vast lore of the One Piece worldas well as introduce exciting powers to the Final Saga, pushing the story to a whole new level. Fans absolutely cannot wait to see what Oda has in store for them in the final stretch and what abilities he introduces next.
