Summary
- Loki's mysterious Devil Fruit has led to a lot of speculation about the nature of his powers.
- Fans theorize that Loki may have eaten the real Gomu Gomu no Mi or a thunder-related Devil Fruit.
- Loki could possess illusion-making or animal powers tied to Norse mythology.
In the current Elbaf Arc of One Piece, it has been stated multiple times that Prince Loki ate a legendary Devil Fruit that is so powerful it allegedly made him kill his father, King Harald, just to obtain it. While the exact nature of his powers still hasn’t been revealed within the story, this revelation has inevitably fueled a lot of speculation among fans.
One Piece: 8 Reasons Loki Should Join the Straw Hats
Loki seems poised to be the next addition to the Straw Hats crew in One Piece. Here are all the reasons why that's likely to happen.
Loki is a very fascinating but intriguing character, so many fans can’t help but wonder: Which power did his mysterious Devil Fruit grant him? Needless to say, there are a lot of different possibilities, but the following theories are the most likely and promising ones so far.
Warning! Spoilers Ahead!
1 Rubber Body
Did He Eat The Real Gomu Gomu No Mi?
One of the most mind-blowing plot twists in the history of One Piece was the revelation that, after literal decades of thinking Monkey D. Luffy wielded the rubber-based powers of Gomu Gomu no Mi, he had actually eaten a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit named the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. As exciting as this plot twist was, it also left fans with one big question: What happened to the real Gomu Gomu no Mi?
In the Egghead Arc, Doctor Vegapunk stated that Devil Fruits were born out of humanity’s desires, meaning that a regular Rubber Paramecia should still exist somewhere in the world. Another interesting thing to note is that many Giants of Elbaf, including Loki himself, worship the Sun God, whose body supposedly had stretchy powers. Maybe he ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi thinking it was the Nika Devil Fruit, and now he can stretch his own body in a similar way to Luffy.
2 Weather Manipulation
Are His Devil Fruit Powers Related To Ragnir?
Loki still hasn’t had the opportunity to participate in an actual battle, but at one point during the Elbaf Arc, he showcased his incredible weapon, a giant warhammer called Ragnir that can summon potent lightning strikes whenever he swings it. While this impressive ability is an obvious reference to Thor, the god of thunder from Norse mythology, it is unknown if it's tied to the weapon or if it was caused by a Devil Fruit he previously ate.

Of course, it’s impossible that Loki ate a Logia that lets him turn into electricity, since the Goro Goro no Mi was eaten by Enel (who is still alive), but it's also possible that he ate a Paramecia that allows him to summon and manipulate the weather, specifically lightning and thunder. This would be a dangerous ability that is worthy of being deemed “forbidden” and “legendary.”
3 Illusion Making
Perhaps He’s Living Up To His Namesake After All
Elbaf is filled to the brim with references to Norse mythology, and Loki is no exception: Ragnir and its ability to summon lightning are obvious references to Thor, and Loki himself is named after the infamous trickster god. So, what if his Devil Fruit powers are tied to his namesake?
According to Norse mythology, Loki is able to shapeshift and make illusions. While a shapeshifting Devil Fruit (Bon Clay's Mane Mane no Mi) already exists in One Piece, it’s possible that Loki ate a Paramecia that allows him to create lifelike illusions he can use to trick others, similarly to how Loki’s illusions work in the Marvel comic books and the MCU. If that’s the case, maybe these powers are somehow related to the crime that he claims he didn’t commit.
4 A Fenrir Zoan
What If He Can Turn Into The Monstrous Wolf From Norse Mythology?
When the young students of Walrus School mentioned what some of their deepest fears are (which Rimoshifu Killingham later turned into dream monsters with his Kirin powers), it was revealed that Elbaf’s mythology shares even more similarities with the Norse mythology of the real world. For example, the legend of the giant wolf Fenrir seemingly exists in One Piece.
In Norse mythology, Fenrir is a monstrous wolf who plays a key role during Ragnarök and is foretold to set the world on fire, so maybe Loki ate the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Fenrir, and as a result, can turn into this legendary canine. This would explain why the Devil Fruit he ate has such an infamous reputation in his country, but there's also no denying that the powers of a Fenrir Zoan would be very useful in the upcoming fight against the God’s Knights.
5 A Jormungandr Zoan
What If He Can Turn Into The Famous World Serpent Of Legend?
Jormungandr, the famous World Serpent from Norse mythology, is another legend that is feared by the Giant kids of Walrus School. What’s especially interesting is that the ancient mural of Chapter 1138 also depicts a giant snake in the “first world,” not to mention that the Harley even mentions a “serpent of infernal flames.”

These Devil Fruit users will definitely leave their mark in Elbaf.
There are many things that not only hint at the existence of Jormungandr in the One Piece world, but also that the legendary serpent is so powerful that it played a key role in the destruction of the “first world.” Considering that Nika, who was also depicted in the aforementioned mural, has a Devil Fruit named after them, it’s always possible that there’s a Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Jormungandr and Loki ate it, meaning that now he’s able to turn into the “serpent of infernal flames.”
6 Size-Changing Powers
Maybe There’s A Way For Him To Fit In The Thousand Sunny After All
In Chapter 1152, Luffy asked Loki to join his crew, which naturally fueled even more speculation among fans on whether he will join the Straw Hat Pirates or not. However, one of the main points against this idea is the fact that Loki is a Giant with Ancient Giant heritage, and thus, he’s so big that he hypothetically wouldn’t even fit in the Thousand Sunny. However, there’s a workaround for this issue. What if he ate a Devil Fruit that allows him to change sizes?
This may sound absurd or goofy at first, but size is a key part of the Giants’ identity, so the ability to make himself smaller would be controversial among his peers. On top of that, another Giant, Sanjuan Wolf from the Blackbeard Pirates, has already eaten a Devil Fruit that allows him to make himself even bigger (the Deka Deka no Mi), but maybe Loki ate its counterpart that allows him to make himself small, similarly to the non-canon Mini Mini no Mi.
