Does An "Odinforce" Exist in One Piece?
Odin had tremendous abilities in Norse Mythology and one of them was known as Odinforce.
Odinforce: Odin is capable of generating and skillfully manipulating his own life force's magical and cosmic energy for a number of powerful effects, such as warping reality.
This is just an example to demonstrate what the Odinforce has been responsible for in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It should provide some idea as to what it means to possess it.
Interesting sidenote: if a type of force similar to the Odinforce exists then it may also mean Loki goes through a huge energy drawback like Luffy does where he is required to rest after using it. This would be related to the Odinsleep which goes hand-in-hand with the Odinforce.
What I'm suggesting here is that the Legendary Fruit that Loki ate may be a kind of "Odinforce" fruit. It would make him the strongest giant in Elbaf by default.
The other part about this is that Loki has always coveted that power, but in this case he may have been willing to kill the current King of Elbaf to get it.
Interesting points
- It is a mystical energy reserved for the King of Asgard.
- This energy can be channelled through weapons.
- It is used to keep the realms stable.
- It has been passed down from Bor to Odin and then from Odin to Thor.
- This power can be used to "seal" or "unseal" entities.
If this were true, and Loki did steal the "Odinforce", then it may be an ultra-strong version of him we're dealing with, and it would also constitute the title "War God".
I consider this idea much more enjoyable than the other options people have discussed in other posts. Fenrir, Jormungandr, Nidhogg, and Surtr are all evil. It would be weird from a narrative standpoint for the Kings of Elbaf to pass down fruits related to any of those characters as Mythic Zoan type Devil Fruits. However, it does make sense for them to pass down a fruit related to the Odinforce concept as a Paramecia.
With such an ability Loki may be capable of triggering a Ragnarok event.
If there were in-story lore related to this then I could imagine it's something like the following:
1. The giants' culture has a belief that the giants are descendants from Gods.
2. The Gods possessed immense power and this power was passed on to the Kings of Elbaf.
3. This power has taken the form of the Legendary Fruit which Loki had eaten.
4. The previous users of the Legendary Fruit became known as the strongest giant in Elbaf of their time.
5. Loki is now the strongest giant in Elbaf's current era.
When we consider how this belief turned into a Devil Fruit then we must refer to Vegapunk's explanation once again in the same fashion that we discovered Luffy's Nika fruit was also a belief.
Shanks was content to not kill Loki. Instead, whatever happened, he was simply confined despite being expected to be powerful enough to free himself soon. It is possible he is simply resting from his last fight because he expended a lot of energy and entered a short Odinsleep state. In this way, it may not be necessary to kill him.
Loki may only be required to fight someone who is strong enough to force him to expend his energy and be forced to fall asleep again. Although the giants fear that if Loki is released that he will cause the world to be destroyed this may simply be Loki's current dream. When Luffy fights and defeats someone, he doesn't usually kill them. He only kills their dream.
So, I'm thinking 🤔 that Luffy will fight him and cause him to use more energy than he ever did before thereby causing him to enter a long period of rest. If it is discovered that previous users of this fruit also entered a deep sleep state after using their immense energy then this will become more reasonable. I'm also pretty sure he's Hajrudin's brother, and that's another reason Luffy may not try to kill him. He might have Ace PTSD.
Just as a wild guess... I'm going to throw some abstract math out here too. Let's say Luffy has a certain energy capacity he can use before he needs to have a rest, and that Loki also has a certain energy capacity he can use before he needs to have a rest. However, the nature of Loki's fruit is by default a larger bonus initially.
Luffy = God tier bonus = 3 days of fighting before a few hours to recover. Recovery time can be reduced by consuming food.
Loki = God tier bonus = 3 weeks of fighting before a few years to recover. Recovery time cannot be reduced by any means.
The difference with that sort of thing would be that Luffy has the more advantageous ability in that he can recover in a short time and still produce high level attacks, but Loki may be able to temporarily produce very high level of attacks, and the drawback is more severe.
