Premise: Loki’s abilities as described in the work.
There is limited information on Loki’s abilities specifically mentioned in the play at this time. Below is a summary of the main points currently known (as of Episode 1132).
■Points to consider about the devil fruit that Loki ate.
- Loki ate the “legendary devil fruit.”
- This devil’s fruit has a very dangerous ability that was controlled by the royal family of Elbaf
- Loki himself declares, “I am the sun god who will end the world.”
- It is said that it took a concerted effort by the warriors of Elbaf to suppress Loki, which suggests that his abilities are very powerful!
- Being called “the prince of curses,” it is possible that his abilities are somehow related to curses or destructive forces.
These points indicate that the devil fruit eaten by Loki (or the combined power of the devil fruit and his own abilities) is a major threat to the entire world. Loki is, in fact, captured by the warriors of Elbaf and restrained with a chain of sea-loupe stone so as to block his demon fruit ability.
Loki’s abilities are so powerful that he must be taken into custody and imprisoned halfway through his life, and his fruit is so precious and dangerous that it has been managed by the Elbaf royal family for generations. With this in mind, let’s take a look at what each thinker has to say.
The theory that he ate the “umi-umi no mi” that controls the sea.
The “umi-umi no mi” is an ability to manipulate the sea itself, and may have the power to interfere with the rising sea level and the movement of the sea itself.
It is kept in Elbaf as a legendary devil fruit, and it is thought that Loki may have gained this power, which is feared as “the power to destroy the world. This ability to generate huge tsunamis and manipulate the water level of the oceans has an immeasurable impact on the topography and environment of the One Piece world.
Symbolism of the “sea” in pirate stories
The “sea” is central to the world of One Piece and is the most important stage, especially for pirates. The ability to manipulate the sea itself is befitting of a “legend,” and may have the potential to be powerful enough to destroy the world.
It is also thought to be related to the “world sinking into the sea” setting suggested by Vegapunk.
Faith and Harmony with Nature among the Giants of Elbaf
The Elbaf giant tribe values harmony with nature, especially as the great Elbaf tree grows by sucking up seawater. Therefore, it is possible that the “power to control the sea” is treated as something special and legendary in Elbaf, and if it has the power to suppress the rising sea level, it makes sense that it has long been passed down as a “legend.
The theory that he ate “ene-ene no mi” which manipulates energy.
It is said that the “ene-ene no mi” has the ability to manipulate and amplify energy at will, and can create unlimited energy or convert it into energy that destroys everything. The power to handle energy is enormous, and if not properly managed, it is said to pose a threat as “the power to end the world.
Enel’s words and “orders of magnitude more energy.”
Enel states of his own energy power, “The energy you can handle is nothing,” and the scale of this power surpasses that of other energy-based abilities. Since the handling of this energy is an important element in the foundation of One Piece, it is considered worthy of being considered legendary.
Relation to the Egghead version, which lacks energy.
In the Egghead Arc, Vegapunk’s emphasis on energy issues suggests that the resolution of energy issues through the “ene-ene no mi” may play a major role in the story. It is said that the ability to create unlimited energy can both end and save the world, which is why it exists as the “legendary devil fruit of Elbaf.
The theory that he ate “ill-ill no mi” which manipulates illusions.
“ill-ill” is said to have the ability to manipulate illusions and to materialize what he sees. It has aspects that are consistent with Loki’s role as a “trickster” in Norse mythology, and is considered to be a suitable ability for Loki’s demon fruit.
It has been pointed out that it could be a powerful force that disrupts the world by making real what Loki sees or imagines.
Loki’s “Trickster” Nature in European Mythology
In Norse mythology, Loki is described as a mischievous being who uses his powers of transformation and illusion to deceive people. Reflecting this characteristic, it is possible that Loki of One Piece also possesses the power of illusions and illusion, and as the king of the Titan race, he is feared for his power.
Secrets of Loki’s blindfold-related abilities
It is possible that the reason for Loki’s blindfold is his ability to cast illusions on anything that comes into view. If what comes into view is a condition for the activation of the power, then the blindfold is necessary to block the power, which would explain why the Titans and Elbaf warriors bind Loki.
he theory that he ate “uso-uso no mi” in which lies become reality.
If Loki possesses the powerful ability of “uso(lie)” in which every lie he tells becomes reality, then even unrealistic things can come true with a single word from Loki. For this reason, Loki is feared as the “cursed prince” and is strictly controlled as an entity that could destroy the world with his malicious lies….
lbaf’s giant tribe set to “believe lies easily”
The Elbaf giant tribe is frequently depicted in the story of One Piece as being prone to believing in lies. This is because the setting of “believing in lies” is rooted in Elbaf culture and beliefs, and is the reason why those with the ability to make lies come true are singled out for special consideration. It is highly likely that the “legendary devil fruit” has been passed down to Elbaf as a “legendary devil fruit” that is particularly feared by the Titan tribe.
The connection between Loki’s blindfold and his ability to “make what he sees come true”.
It is possible that Loki is blindfolded in order to control his ability to turn anything that comes into view into reality, even if it is a lie. Since the power to turn lies into reality is so powerful and dangerous that this blindfold is necessary, it is thought that it is sealed even as the royalty of the Titan tribe and is considered a legendary devil fruit.
Loki’s shock at the rejection of his proposal and his obsession with his appearance.
It is thought that Loki was burned by the shock of his rejection of a proposal to Laura and wanted the “uso-uso no mi” to make himself more attractive.
An anecdote about Norway’s first king, Harald I, is mentioned as a possible source of Loki’s origin story. King Harald I proposed to the woman he loved when he was young, but was rejected, saying that he could only marry the king of an entire country. This heartbreak affected him so deeply that he vowed not to cut his hair until he had conquered all of Norway, and thus he is also known by the nickname “Harald the Poppy-haired.
It is believed that the character of Prince Loki is strongly influenced by this episode of King Harald I. Hence, the current Loki may also be depicted with long hair. In particular, it has been pointed out that the event of Loki’s rejection of Laura’s proposal may have had a significant impact on his subsequent behavior.
It is thought that Loki may have had a strong complex about his appearance, and it is speculated that one of his motivations for eating the devil fruit, which has the “ability to make all lies come true,” was his desire to be more beautiful.
Did he eat Mythical Zoan”inu-inu no mi, model Marnagarum” ?
It is speculated that Loki eats a fruit called “inu-inu no mi, model Marnagarum” and that he has powers derived from Marnagarum, the “Moon Wolf” of Norse mythology. Due to the ability of this devil fruit, Loki is said to have the power to transform into a giant wolf and run amok when he sees a full moon. It is possible that Loki is always blindfolded to prevent him from going berserk during the full moon.
Associated with the Norse mythological wolf “Mañagarum”.
If Loki calls himself the “God of the Sun,” was Mañagarum, the moon-eating wolf (i.e., a being we can associate with the sun), the model for the devil fruit? This is the theory that we think. It has been suggested that the “legendary devil fruit” exists in Elbaf, and that this fruit was introduced to Elbaf in connection with the myth of Mañagarum.
Legendary power of the Mythical Zoan.
Zoon-based devil fruits, especially phantom species, are based on legendary creatures and are shown to have a “will”. Furthermore, zoan-based devil fruits are often handed down in countries as guardian gods or traditional powers, and there is a strong possibility that the “legendary devil fruits” handed down in Elbaf are zoon-based. This also goes along with Luffy’s Nika ability.
Contrasting “wolf boy” motif with Usopp
It has often been emphasized throughout the work that Usopp, as the “wolf boy,” is a character who tells lies. The appearance of Loki as a “real werewolf boy” will further emphasize the contrast with Usopp and deepen the theme in the story. Usopp and Loki’s involvement in Elbaf and Loki’s “lie” and “wolf” setting are elements that can be linked to the legendary devil fruit.
The nature of the full moon to go out of control and the reason for the blindfold.
The reason for Loki’s blindfold is thought to be because of his propensity to cause outbursts when he sees the full moon. This is similar to the Sulonization of the Mink tribe, which also changes with the full moon. If he is blindfolded to prevent him from seeing the moon, this would explain why he is a demon fruit with powers that are difficult to control.
The theory that he ate the fruit of white
”shiro-shiro no mi” is a paramecia-type demon fruit that has the ability to turn objects white, giving Loki the power to become a ”White Man. Using this ability, it is said that it is possible to “white = erase” objects, people, and even memories. Depending on how it is used, this is an extremely dangerous ability that could wipe out everything and cause the end of the world.
elimination” effect of the “Shiroshiro no Mi” and the end of the world.
Loki has stated that he will “end the world,” and this power is thought to be related to the power to erase everything, or return it to “white.” It is speculated that this demon fruit was sealed away because its use would return all things to nothing, as it was feared as a legendary presence in Elbaf, the land of the giant tribes.
The association of “white” with Luffy and Loki in Norse mythology.
Similar to Luffy’s Gear 5 that changes his appearance to pure white, white is increasingly depicted as a “symbol of power” in One Piece. In addition, just as Loki in Norse mythology can manipulate illusions, the white-white fruit may be able to show illusions to others with the power of “white = illusion” (“daydreaming” or “).
This power is thought to make Loki, the king of the giant race, a self-proclaimed sun god and a powerful and influential figure.
Loki and Laura, Chiffon and Vedge’s relationship.
Lola refused to marry Loki and fled. It is also considered that this incident was a great humiliation for Loki and one of the reasons for him to obtain the ”shiro-shiro no mi”. It has been interpreted that the color “white” symbolizes “whiteness” and “good looks,” and it has been suggested that Loki may have eaten the fruit in order to change his appearance.
In addition, Laura’s twin sister, Chiffon, is the wife of Capone gang member Begge, and Begge’s devil fruit ability is “shiro-shiro (castle) no mi. If Loki is eating ”shiro-shiro no mi”,” it is also important to create a good contrasting structure as a homonym devil fruit.

Once again, let me summarize, taking into account the points made at the beginning of this article.
■Points to consider about the devil fruit that Loki ate.
- Loki ate the “legendary devil fruit.”
- This devil’s fruit has a very dangerous ability that was controlled by the royal family of Elbaf
- Loki himself declares, “I am the sun god who will end the world.”
- It is said that it took a concerted effort by the warriors of Elbaf to suppress Loki, which suggests that his abilities are very powerful!
- Being called “the prince of curses,” it is possible that his abilities are somehow related to curses or destructive forces.
From the above, there is no doubt that Loki’s ability has a large-scale and devastating aspect. In this light, the image of “reality alteration” or “wish fulfillment” comes to mind, as mentioned by various thinkers, and the line “uso-uso no mi” seems likely.
However, if it is “uso-uso no mi” wouldn’t it be difficult to depict the battle? I have a meta thought at the same time. One Piece is basically a battle manga, and it would be impossible for Loki not to fight in the storyline. In that case, the ability to “make lies come true” would be too powerful and difficult to handle.
If one has the ability to make “lies = one’s imagination” come true, it would be a power like Gremmy Tumu’s in BLEACH. Gremmy was a very powerful character, but in the end he was defeated by the fact that his “physical body could not keep up with the powerful power he gained in his imagination. Personally, I also think that “if you want to defeat a cheat who can achieve what he imagines, you will have to do so. However, this resolution is a bit “difficult” from a manga point of view, and although it has the BLEACH style, it does not have the ONE PIECE style.
Also, the “lies come true” feature in the One Piece play is a standard role for Usopp. This also makes me think that a situation where the characters of Loki and Usopp overlap in a meta sense is unlikely to occur. I also think that it is unlikely that Loki and Usopp’s characters overlap in a meta sense.
Therefore, I personally think that Loki’s demon fruit is not the ability to “realize a lie” but the ability to “show a fiction that seems infinitely real”. I will consider this. I think that the “ill-illi no mi” introduced in this article is close to it. This ability is related to Loki in the Norse mythology, which is the original story, and if it were to appear, the danger would be very high.
The name “Prince of Curses” is also appropriate for his ability to seduce, incite, and provoke others to fight with him through deception. I also thought that he calls himself “God of the Sun” to create a situation in which he can maximize his abilities by deceiving Nika, the object of faith especially in El-Bagh. I thought so.
It is also a rather common belief on the Internet that Loki eats “inu-inu no mi Model: ‘Fenrir’”. Fenrir is a demon of calamity in Norse mythology that swallowed up Odin, the main god. Fenrir is also a demon that is bound by a magical cord by the Earth Gods, who are afraid of its growing power. More specifically, in Norse mythology, Fenrir is the son of Loki.
This makes it clear that the character modeling of Loki in One Piece has been heavily inspired by the legends surrounding Loki in Norse mythology. I would not be surprised if, after all these obvious connections by anyone’s standards, “Loki is Fenrir’s ability!” I have a feeling that Oda-sensei would not do such a thing. I feel that Oda might not do that. However, when Loki appeared on the stage, he roared “Gooooooooooo! and the giant wolves were frightened when Loki appeared, I feel that there is a possibility that his ability will be revealed as expected.
What do you guys think? I am looking forward to the release of Loki’s devil fruit in the near future!
