One Piece Chapter 1174 has officially revealed one of the most overpowered Devil Fruits in the entire series that fans have been eagerly waiting to see for the past few months, and that is Loki's Devil Fruit.
For a while there was a lot of speculation about the powers that Loki had, and now, Oda has officially confirmed Loki holding a dragon Devil Fruit belonging to the Mythical Zoan class. This Devil Fruit is easily one of the strongest in history, and its powers are immense. While the full extent of its abilities has not been revealed, there is quite a bit that Oda has already made clear about its powers.
Loki has a Dragon Devil Fruit in one piece
Loki's fruit belongs to the mythical Zoan class
Loki's Devil Fruit was first brought up in One Piece right at the beginning of the Elbaf arc. Immediately after his debut as the Cursed Prince of Elbaf, it was revealed by Oda that Loki ate the legendary Devil Fruit from the land of Elbaf 14 years ago. At the time, Oda painted an evil picture of Loki that almost made it seem like he stole this Devil Fruit from the land. The truth of it all was revealed in the Loki flashback. To prevent Harald from eating the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf and prevent it from falling into Imus' hands, Loki stopped consuming this Devil Fruit. With its powers, he was able to transform into a gigantic being and then defeat Harald for good. Its powers were such that it took a toll on Imu. When Loki killed Harald it was very clear that even the likes of Shanks and Gaban together could not do what Loki did.
IN One Piece Chapter 1174Oda officially confirmed to fans that Loki's Devil Fruit ability is a dragon. This was already hinted at One Piece Chapter 1172where Loki clearly explained that he had the ability to fly. Combined with the fact that Loki was transformed into a giant creature with claws for hands, it made it pretty easy to see that his overall abilities were along the lines of a flying serpent creature. Now, One Piece Chapter 1174 has officially revealed Loki's Dragon Devil Fruit to the fans.
Don't worry about me. I can fly my way up! — Loki
In terms of appearance, Loki's Devil Fruit gives him the ability to transform into a black dragon with massive wings. Unlike Kaido's Devil Fruit, Loki's fruit gives him the power to transform into a Western dragon. This dragon is absolutely gigantic in size. For context, even a giant looks like a dwarf compared to Loki, and he can easily destroy entire islands with ease, which makes sense, considering Loki has been said to be the destroyer of worlds by many.
Loki's dragon can manipulate lightning
The strongest creature in the world
One of the greatest abilities of Loki's Dragon Devil Fruit is the power to manipulate lightning. This was first teased before the Loki flashback even started. With Ragnir in his hands, Loki was able to channel a bolt of lightning from the sky and set fire to a massive branch in Elbaf. Now, in One Piece Chapter 1174, Loki clearly used his Dragon Devil Fruit on a cloud of lightningand this painted a rather terrifying picture of what his powers are capable of. Clearly, Loki could easily cause a catastrophic event with his powers if he wanted to.
One Piece Chapter 1174 also showed Loki performing a heroic deed right when the children fell from the sun world of Elbaf down to the underworld with their parents. It was Loki who came through the clouds, grabbed the children and saved the day. Along with Loki was the Sun God Nika Luffy, as well as Ragnir, and together these three will stand in Imu's way and make his life hell.
Loki's dragon ability is likely the Nidhogg dragon
Inspired by Norse mythology
It goes without saying Loki's Devil Fruit ability is that of the Nidhogg dragon. The Nidhog is said to be a serpent dragon that eats the roots of the Yggdrasil tree in Norse mythology. Similarly, Loki was chained to the three roots of the Adam Tree in the underworld of Elbaf, creating a beautiful parallel between the two. Meanwhile, Nidhogg is called the Lightning Dragon in the One Piece world, while Loki is a giant dragon that can manipulate lightning. If it wasn't clear, Loki has the power of the Nidhogg Devil Fruit, and this is what makes him one of the strongest in the world.
I can't wait to see him fight! — Luffy to Loki
With the power of this devil fruit, Loki can clearly manipulate lightning at will, and with the power of Ragnir, he can also manipulate ice. It shouldn't come as a surprise to see Loki manipulating fire either. This is because Loki has the powers of a western dragon, and they have the ability to spit fire. It would also be fitting, given that Loki calls himself the sun god, and a sun god with fire powers would make a lot of sense. As such, Loki would then have the power to manipulate lightning, ice, and fire simultaneously, making him one of the strongest characters in One Piece.
Loki's devil fruit makes him the strongest in Elbaf
Loki is a worthy rival to Imu
If there was any doubt before, One Piece chapter 1174 confirms that Loki is the strongest character in Elbaf's history. His Devil Fruit ability allows him to transform into an absolute behemoth of a dragon that can dwarf entire islands and destroy them with ease. Earlier, Oda labeled Loki as the destroyer of the world. With the power he has, it's pretty easy to see why Loki could easily go on to destroy the entire world of One Piece if he so desired.
Loki's powers are comparable to ancient weapons themselves, and that's without even considering the abilities offered to him by the likes of Ragnir. Overall, even Luffy's Sun God Nika powers don't come close to Loki's. It goes without saying that Loki can even rival the likes of Imu in terms of power. As it stands in One Piece, with each passing chapter, it becomes even more puzzling how Shanks managed to defeat this disaster six years ago. Currently, no answer has been given by Oda when it comes to this question, but in time this mystery will also be solved. What is important right now is Loki's dragon Devil Fruit which officially makes him the strongest character in Elbaf.
One Piece Chapter 1174 will be released on February 15, 2026.
