Eiichiro Oda has a tendency to foreshadow events long before they actually occur in the premise of One Piece. Similarly, one such mystery surrounds Prince Loki of Elbaf, the famed land of giants. Though his name was dropped during the Whole Cake Island arc in relation to his arranged marriage with Lola, Loki’s devil fruit ability remains an untapped mystery, stirring much speculation among the fanbase.

However, hints about Loki’s potential powers may have been subtly teased as far back as the Dressrosa arc. While we don’t yet have confirmation of Loki’s Devil Fruit powers, Eiichiro Oda has dropped enough clues throughout One Piece to make an educated guess.
The Connection Between Giants and Devil Fruits in Dressrosa
u/Ok-Green8906 has recently hosted a discussion thread to speculate about Loki’s Devil Fruit powers on Reddit. As the manga is currently diving into the heart of Elbaf, Loki is expected to play a significant part in the story of One Piece. Thus, the fandom is buzzing trying to figure out what could be his powers that have the potential to shift the direction of the story. One particular comment has stood out as it sheds light on the connection between Dressrosa Arc and the giants of Elbaf.
During the Dressrosa Arc, we were introduced to Hajrudin, a member of the giant warrior pirate crew and an active combatant in the Corrida Colosseum. His ambition was to become the first giant to wield a Logia-type Devil Fruit.

This makes any giant possessing a Devil Fruit, particularly, a powerful type like Logia or Mythical Zoan, a game-changer in the world of One Piece.
This context brings us to Loki. As the Prince of Elbaf and possibly the next King, Loki likely possesses some extraordinary ability that sets him apart from other giants. While Hajrudin sought a Logia-type fruit, there’s growing speculation that Loki might have a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, which further connects him to Loki from Norse mythology; the god of mischief and trickery.
Why Loki’s Devil Fruit Abilities Could be a Game-Changer in One Piece
With the Straw Hats traveling to Elbaf, Loki’s character is bound to take center stage in the upcoming arcs. As the prince of the giants, his power will likely serve either as a major obstacle or ally for Luffy and his crew. If Loki does possess a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, it could place him as a rival to some of the most powerful figures in the One Piece series, including Kaido, who also wields a Mythical Zoan power.

For example, one of Blackbeard’s Titanic Captains, Sanjuan Wolf has a size-altering Paramecia-type fruit. He is already a giant, but his Devil Fruit allows him to increase his size even further. If Loki also possesses a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, it would further enhance his potential as the ruler of Elbaf and make him a significant player in future conflicts.
Fans will have to wait for the official unveiling, but the possibility that Loki wields a Mythical Zoan fruit rooted even in mythology is an exciting one that fits seamlessly into the grand story Eiichiro Oda has crafted. With the upcoming Elbaf arc of One Piece on the horizon, all eyes are on Loki and the secrets that lie ahead.
