One Piece chapter 1193 was officially released on September 13, 2026, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #41. This chapter was incredibly important for the overarching lore of the series pertaining to powerful Devil Fruits, especially the Mythical Zoan type. The Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit class has been the center of attention from Eiichiro Oda for quite some time now. Chapter 1193 took things one step further, as Loki, the user of the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhoggr, went on to tap into his strongest transformation, that is, his hybrid form.
With Loki already being powerful enough to be labeled the strongest Mythical Zoan user, this debate that previously pitted him against Monkey D. Luffy has officially been settled. With his new Mythical Zoan hybrid form, enhanced durability, and firepower to destroy the entire world, Loki is now officially the strongest Mythical Zoan user.
Loki was a powerful warrior from his childhood days, and over the years he honed his skills incredibly well, becoming a proud and powerful warrior of Elbaf. However, it wasn't until he ate the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf 14 years ago that his power truly grew. As shown to us directly in One Piece chapter 1170, which was officially released on January 5, 2026, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Double Issue #6-7, Loki ended up consuming the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhoggr, which is a legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf passed down the royal family. This Devil Fruit gave him enough power to overwhelm King Harald and eventually deal the final blow to him.
"Dogahaha! Looks like you're at your limit!! I'll be the one to finish him off! You just rest there!" — Loki taps into his Hybrid Nidhoggr form, One Piece Chapter #1193
The powers of this Devil Fruit were first fully showcased to us in One Piece chapter 1175, released on March 2, 2026, and it was clear to see that the power of the Nidhoggr dragon was enough to crush the Holy Knights like Sommers, and at the same time, also push back against Gunko, who, at the time, served as a vessel for Imu. Oda also made it quite clear that Loki's firepower was enough to cause large-scale damage to Elbaf, making him a deadly calamity for anyone to take on in combat. Now, in One Piece chapter 1193, which was officially released on September 13, 2026, Oda took things one step further and unveiled the strongest Mythical Zoan power as Loki tapped into his hybrid form. To be clear, Loki's hybrid form was not fully revealed to us, as Oda decided to keep it as a silhouette, but the transformation has already begun. He was seen towering over the forests in the Underworld of Elbaf as he prepared to strike back against Imu once more.
"The Mythical Zoan Ryu Ryu no Mi...it is said that whoever eats it can transform into the largest dragon in the whole world. The size of the creature is relative to the initial size of whoever ate the fruit. They say this dragon breathes lightning, and when it flies, its jet-black wings turn day into night." — Jarul explains Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhoggr, One Piece Chapter #1175
Fans may be wondering how Loki is the strongest Mythical Zoan user in the story right now, but when looking at the other powerful Mythical Zoan users, there is only one that stands out, that is, Monkey D. Luffy, the user of the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, who awakened this power for the first time in One Piece Chapter 1044 on March 28, 2022. Luffy's Nika powers are incredibly strong, but they are most certainly not yet on a level comparable to Loki's Nidhoggr powers, as has been made clear repeatedly in the climax of the Elbaf arc. Luffy still struggles to control the power of Nika. His stamina runs out way too quickly, and all things considered, his performance against Imu was significantly inferior to that of Loki.
This is a clear indication of the fact that, overall, Loki is the stronger Mythical Zoan user, and his Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhoggr, packs more of a punch. Not only does Loki's fruit grant him tremendous resilience and durability, but at the same time, it also grants him additional stamina. Loki also gains the power to destroy the entire world with his lightning blasts, as has been repeatedly shown in the story so far. All things considered, Luffy's Nika powers have not yet reached a level where he can be called equal to Loki, especially in his hybrid form. In One Piece Chapter 1170, Loki managed to demolish Harald in combat, especially in his hybrid form. This is his strongest state, in which he can bring out the full powers of Nidhoggr without having to worry about being too large or too slow. In that sense, he absolutely cannot wait to see Loki's performance against Nerona Imu while Luffy recovers.
