Ever since Oda posted this in an SBS:
- Zoro: Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu (Fish Fish Fruit, Mythical Type Model: Seiryuu), "I'd want the sword to turn into a dragon rather than Zoro. I think that would be insanely cool."
I've wanted Zoro to kill Kaido to get Kaido's Fruit in the Wado Ichimonji.
IMO, Devil Fruit weapons are AWESOME, and, up until Shamrock, we've only had mostly jobber Fruits.
Yes, Mr. 4's Gun, Lassoo, ate the Dog Dog Fruit... whohoo. Spandam had a sword that ate an Elephant Fruit. Funkfried is super cool, but still; weak.
We were told that the Fruit Loki stole is passed down through Royalty... IMO, that means Harald had EATEN the Fruit.
If Loki killed Harald with Ragnir... it's possible his hammer, Ragnir, "ate" the Devil Fruit.
This would explain why, despite the Marines knowing how this tech works, they don't use it: in order to turn a weapon into a Devil Fruit, you have to kill the prior User of the Fruit with the weapon. The Marines wouldn't want to go around murdering people in order to make tech; bad for publicity.
Spandam and Shamrock, though? They're Cipher Pol and Holy Knights; they're bad boys. They don't play by the rules.
If Loki DOESN'T have a Devil Fruit himself, it explains why it was so hard for all of Elbaph to attach him to the Treasure Tree Adam; the Seastone Chain won't weaken him, just keep him from getting free.
So, keeping Loki chained up won't reduce his powers... it will just limit his mobility.
IMO, I really want Loki's Fruit to be Jörmungandr. Jörmungandr releasing their tail is one of the signs of Ragnarok; this can be referenced to Loki's chains, a coiled, indestructible "snake".
Hajrudin: "Loki! Put Ragnir down!"
Hajrudin's focus is on Loki's WEAPON, not Loki himself.
I think Loki eventually will collapse due to blood loss, but, before that, he's going to kick some SERIOUS ass.
The New Giants Warrior Pirates are about to get hype-tooled to hell and back (they are literally in their country's "underworld"), and I think we might see our first instance of Gear 5 getting out-classed in a pure strength clash.
Robin and Chopper are at the library near the school that's about to get attacked:
Loki, be a bro, and smash Sanji so hard, he flies over to where the Holy Knights are, so he can protect Robin. Thank you.
