This article contains spoilers for One Piece's Final Saga.
one piece has already entered the Final Saga. This means that there is now an incredible amount of focus on the deep knowledge of the world that Oda has established over the years. even of the gods one piece The world is now slowly being revealed, and with it comes the legendary abilities that Oda always wanted to explore at the end of the story.
Say hello to the new powerhouse of the One Piece world
The strongest before Whitebeard has been revealed. His strength is comparable to Rox or Roger from One Piece.
for example, Luffy's sun god Nika's abilities were finally revealed to fans in the Wano Kuni arc.It becomes clear that his real Devil Fruit is Hito Hito no Mi, model: Nika. Luffy's power shined tremendously in Final Saga as the Sun God, and fans definitely enjoyed it to the fullest. while Luffy's abilities are truly incredible.Needless to say, Oda has now introduced a new powerful character whose power surpasses that of the sun god Nika in the story's Final Saga.From the looks of it. This new character is none other than Loki, whose legendary Devil Fruit powers were recently revealed to fans.
The sun god Nika Fruit was truly overwhelming in One Piece
-
Nika is the god of liberation and destruction
-
Luffy is the one who breaks the chains of One Piece.
Known as a liberation fighter, The sun god Nika is a fearsomely powerful deity who has been worshiped for centuries in the world of One Piece.. The sun god Nika is said to spread laughter and joy wherever she goes and to free slaves from their chains in the most miserable times. The sun god Nika is against oppression And it is said that it always comes down to the world through the wishes of oppressed people. The power of the sun god Nika is such that whenever he comes, destruction of the world follows. This is why The sun god Nika is often called the destroyer by some.To others, he is seen as a savior and protector.
As far as Luffy goes, In the Wano Kingdom episode of One Piece, the power of the sun god Nika was awakened. In the battle with Kaido. Luffy finally woke up after receiving a fatal blow, which allowed Luffy to defeat Kaido with the power of Nika. According to Kaido himself, Luffy was fighting with an incredible amount of freedom. Thanks to the freewheeling combat utilized by Luffy, utilizing his ability to increase and decrease as much as possible, as well as the power of his armament and Conqueror Haki, he was able to easily defeat Kaido.
It's obvious, but Sun God Luffy is incredibly overpowered.. Even an admiral as strong as Kizaru stands no chance against him in battle, and most certainly, his power as a god will only grow in the Final Saga as the story continues. Considering that Luffy is one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, he is currently one of the most powerful people in the world.
But he's definitely not the strongest guy. Imu exists and fans know that Shanks still has more power than Luffy. Now in Final Saga Now, another character who is much stronger than Luffy has appeared, and that is Loki.His evil power surpasses that of the sun god Nika.
Loki's legendary Devil Fruit is the strongest of the Zoan-type fruits.
-
Fruit of an unknown mythical animal
-
A power greater than the rock and Harald
Loki's devil fruit powers were finally revealed to fans in One Piece episode 1170.. Although the full form of his Devil Fruit has not been revealed to fans, Loki was actually a mythical zoan-type fruit user.Like Luffy. Most fans initially assumed Luffy to be Paramecia, but by the Wano Arc, it became clear that Luffy was actually a mythical Zoan user.
Returning to Loki, fans saw the incredible power of Loki's fruit after he was transformed into the legendary creature of Elbaf in episode 1170. He was able to completely destroy Harald in battle.. To truly understand how strong Loki is at this point, fans need to understand Harald's power at this particular moment 14 years ago.
This force is causing ripples in him. It's almost scary. And now he is immortal. A chill runs down my spine. He is more than a monster. At this point he is a weapon. — King Harald’s Five Elders, One Piece Chapter 1168
One Piece: Loki and two others are Luffy's most important allies in the final war.
Luffy will have many important allies in the final war, but these three are the most important for some interesting reasons!
When Harald first appears in the story, he is incredibly powerful. When meeting Rocks D. Xebec, Oda made it clear that the two were evenly matched. The two also had many battles, and once again it was clear to fans that Rocks and Harald were equals. In fact, even in their first clash, Oda implied that they were equals by saying that Haki was so strong that he had enough power to blow away all traces of life within a 5km radius.
Loki was able to beat Harold with fruit
Clearly Harald and Rocks were monsters at this point in the story. later, Harald grew stronger and matched the power of Domi Reversi Rocks. When Imu himself was branded the Deep Sea Covenant. This same Harald, much stronger than the average Rocks D. Xebec, was defeated by Loki. In episode 1170 of One Piece. That certainly means his legendary Devil Fruit powers were absolutely massive.
I am the sun god who appears in the legends of this land. You must not talk to me without permission, human. I consider myself the strongest being on this earth. This is Elbaf’s kingdom of violence, Warland. The world's most powerful nation once lived and breathed war. And I am the sun god who destroys the world, Loki! — Loki introduces himself in the Elbaf Arc.
Although Luffy was strong with the power of the sun god Nika, he would not have been able to defeat Harald with his strength at that point. This is currently the crucial difference between the two. Loki is currently much stronger than Luffy through feats alone.
Loki's devil fruit is either a dragon or Fenrir.
It's unclear exactly what Loki's legendary Devil Fruit is, but fans can tell that it's the mythical Zoan. My best guess would be something to do with Norse mythology, so Fenrir or the Nidhogg Dragon would be at the top of everyone's list..
Based on the dark silhouette fans got to see in episode 1170, Fenrir would make more sense, especially considering his hairy appearance and claws. Fenrir would be an incredibly powerful ability for Loki to possess.And that would most clearly explain why his power, at least for the time being, surpassed that of the sun god Nika.
on the other side, Nidhogg would also be a very surprising power for Loki to possess.. Western dragons have been teased for a long time in One Piece, so it would be nice if Oda finally introduces them to the story through Loki.
Either way, Loki's power surpasses Luffy's for the time being, and it will be some time before Luffy continues to surpass Loki.
