Loki consumed the legendary Ryu Ryu no Mi (Dragon Dragon Fruit), Model: Nidhogg, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit passed down in Elbaf’s royal bloodline. Following a long wait, it is now confirmed in One Piece that this Devil Fruit power allows Loki to transform into the largest dragon in the world, which has lightning/thunder powers.

Unlike Momonosuke’s or Kaido’s dragon designs, Loki’s dragon form resembles a dragon from the west, and the colossal black dragon is the largest dragon we have ever laid eyes on in One Piece, a parallel to Vhagar from the House of the Dragon series.

We have always wanted to see Oda utilize a mythical dragon figure, and the author has now perfectly handpicked Nidhogg from Norse mythology for Loki’s new Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. Niddhog is known to be the dragon that resides in the underworld and gnaws at the roots of the Yggdrasil tree. Coincidentally, Loki is also the one who was previously chained at the bottom of the Treasure Tree, Adam (One Piece version of Yggdrasil). The parallels cannot get better than this!

We were always curious about the history of the Elbaf’s legendary devil fruit from the beginning. After an extended period of anticipation, Jarul has shared the first major information regarding Loki’s dragon Devil Fruit in One Piece Chapter 1175. The original user of the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhogg, was “God of War”, one of the important gods of Elbaf, who also had ‘Ratatoskr the Ice Squirrel’ by his side.

Elbaf’s deity of war wielded the Ragnir hammer before Loki. They switched to dragon form and clashed with Elbaf’s sun god in the past. But when the god of war passed away, Ratatoskr’s spirit living inside the Ragnir hammer became the guardian of the Dragon Dragon Devil Fruit. Previously, it was theorized that the hamme became partially sentient by eating the Ratatoskr-based Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

But now it has been confirmed that the spirit of his squirrel companion possessed the hammer and has been guarding Elbaf’s legendary Devil Fruit until someone strong emerges and inherits the dragon powers.

When Did Loki Eat the Elbaf’s Legendary Devil Fruit?

It should be noted that no one has eaten this national treasure in decades, as those who attempted to were never deemed worthy by Ragnir. However, Loki proved worthy in its eyes for the first time in generations and successfully ate the Devil Fruit in front of Ragnir as his father wished.

When Loki had to kill his father, he had a beastly transformation, with claws emerging from his hands. At that time, we predicted this mysterious form could be a dragon transformation, and it turned out to be true. These Mythical Zoans are always reserved for the strongest figures in the One Piece series, and Loki has just proved to us that he is the strongest warrior from Elbaf.

Loki’s Nidhogg Dragon Powers in One Piece

Since Loki’s Dragon closely resembles the giant dragon at the top of the ancient Harley mural of Elbaf, everyone bet that Loki possesses a mythical zoan devil fruit model: Nidhogg. It’s because this version of dragon is canon in One Piece, as seen when a child’s fear of Nidhogg resulted in a giant dragon nightmare roaming the homeland of giants. Now all our predictions have come true with Loki transforming into a colossal Nidhogg, the biggest dragon ever known.

Additionally, Jarul noted that the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model Nidhogg Devil Fruit’s powers are directly tied to its user’s size and strength. For example, if a human were to eat it, they wouldn’t be able to unlock the true potential of the dragon Devil Fruit as opposed to a giant. Now, since Loki is a giant who has the blood of ancient giants in his veins, he was able to utilize the potential of the Dragon Dragon Devil Fruit to its fullest in One Piece now.

The colossal Nidhogg dragon form is regarded as a thunder/lightning-breathing dragon. So, all this time, whenever Loki picked up Ragnir and unleashed the lightning powers, it was him using his own Devil Fruit power and not the power of the hammer. In One Piece Chapter 1175, Loki, in his Nidhogg form, blasted lightning straight and obliterated all the nightmares roaming the Elbaf lands.

So, it is finally good to see Oda confirming Loki’s Nidhogg Devil Fruit capable of unleashing lightning powers. Loki’s Nidhogg-inspired dragon form is so large that a day can quickly turn into night when he roams the skies in this form.

Loki and Luffy are back in the Sun realm to fight the God’s Knights, so we are sure to see him use more of his Devil Fruit powers against Imu and her forces in the upcoming chapters of the One Piece manga.
