Introduction to Prince Loki

In chapter 1130 titled “The Cursed Prince” (source), we finally see the introduction of Prince Loki from Elbaf. This character brings a wealth of lore and intrigue, and his backstory is as captivating as it is complex. Here’s a brief overview of what we know about him:

• Born 63 years ago as the “official” son of the king of Elbaf.
• Proposed to Lola a few years ago but was rejected.
• Desires the “Legendary Devil Fruit” passed down in the royal family.
• Killed his father, King Harald, to consume the “Legendary Devil Fruit.”
• Has been subjected to “crucifixion” for several years.
• Attempts to escape but is restrained by the warriors.
• Referred to as the “Cursed Prince” and “Shame of Elbaf.”
• Regularly emits a roar that can be felt by Luffy.
• Claims to be the “Sun God” who could end the world.
• Is blindfolded (?).

Among these details, we want to focus on the “Legendary Devil Fruit” that Loki consumed, which he sought after even at the cost of his father’s life. What could this fruit be? Let’s explore some possibilities.

Potential Candidates for the Legendary Devil Fruit

• Candidate 1: “Fenrir”
• Candidate 2: “Gomu” (Rubber)
• Candidate 3: “Sun”

The name “Loki” is derived from Norse mythology, where Loki is associated with a giant wolf-like monster named “Fenrir.” Prince Loki seems to embody characteristics of Fenrir, such as the roar, being bound by chains, and the idea of being released on the day of Ragnarok. His beastly roar and the statement that “if released, the world will be destroyed” align with Fenrir’s mythos.

Furthermore, Fenrir is said to breathe fire from its eyes and nose, which could explain why Loki is blindfolded. The “Legendary Devil Fruit” of the Elbaf royal family might also resonate with the guardian deity of Wano, “Ookuchi no Makami,” suggesting a connection to the “Inu Inu no Mi” (Dog-Dog Fruit) model “Fenrir.”

As Loki claims to be the “Sun God,” it raises the possibility that his abilities are aligned with that title. Additionally, there may be a link to Luffy, who awakened the true power of the “Sun God Nika.” This creates an interesting structural connection:

• Luffy, who thought he ate the “Gomu Gomu no Mi” but actually consumed the “Hito Hito no Mi” model “Nika.”
• Loki, who believes he has eaten the “Hito Hito no Mi” model “Nika,” but is actually the “Gomu Gomu no Mi” (?).

This leads us to consider that the “Legendary Devil Fruit” of the Elbaf royal family could be the “Hito Hito no Mi” model “Nika,” but in reality, it is the “Gomu Gomu no Mi.” Vegapunk mentioned that the “Gomu Gomu no Mi” is not listed in the old Devil Fruit encyclopedia, which could be plausible if it has been hidden away in Elbaf.

Moreover, if Loki truly claims to be the “Sun God,” it is possible that his abilities are directly related to the sun itself. His half-brother, Hildin, sought the “Mera Mera no Mi” (Flame-Flame Fruit), indicating that there could be a connection to fire-based abilities.

However, with the existence of the “Mera Mera no Mi” and “Magma-Magma Fruit,” one might wonder if a superior version could emerge. Other possibilities include:

• “Hito Hito no Mi” model “Surtr” – the giant who burns the world.
• “Mini Mini no Mi” – perhaps Loki wanted to become human after being rejected by Lola.
• “Hebi Hebi no Mi” – a blood-stained snake that cannot be pierced by Dribro.
• Illusion or hypnosis-type abilities, reflecting Loki’s trickster aspect from mythology.
