The spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1175 are finally out, and they bring massive revelations about Prince Loki’s mysterious Devil Fruit along with a brand-new attack from Monkey D. Luffy in his Gear 5 form. The chapter, titled “Nidhogg,” shifts the battle in Elbaf completely as the Sun God and the legendary dragon join forces against the Holy Knights. Fans now have a clear picture of what makes Loki so dangerous and why the World Government has been searching for him all this time.
The raw scans and early spoiler summaries began circulating online on February 24, 2026, giving the One Piece fanbase plenty to discuss while waiting for the official release . Chapter 1175 picks up right after the dramatic events of the previous chapter, where Loki transformed into a massive black dragon and teamed up with Luffy to save the children and parents of Elbaf from falling to their deaths . Now the duo has reached the Sun Realm, and the real fight begins.
Sanji and Zoro Show Why They Are the Wings of the Pirate King
The chapter opens with Vinsmoke Sanji taking action immediately. Saint Sommers had Nico Robin trapped in his thorny vines, but Sanji uses Diable Jambe to burn through them completely, freeing Robin from the capture . This moment shows just how far Sanji’s strength has come. The thorns that gave the giant parents so much trouble were no match for the Straw Hat cook.
Roronoa Zoro also gets his moment to shine. He moves swiftly and cuts through the thorns that were wrapped around the hostage giant children . His precision and power save the kids without hurting them. Luffy watches from atop Loki’s dragon head and cannot contain his excitement. He shouts praise at Zoro, saying exactly what fans expect from their captain .
“As expected of you, Zoro! I believed in you!” โ Monkey D. Luffy
This small moment reinforces the deep trust Luffy has in his two strongest fighters. Together with Luffy and Loki, the group manages to bring all the rescued children and their parents safely to the elder Jarul .
Jarul Finally Reveals the Truth About Loki’s Devil Fruit
With everyone safe for the moment, the story shifts into a flashback. Jarul begins explaining the truth behind the legendary Devil Fruit that Prince Loki ate decades ago when he killed his father, King Harald . The reveal is everything fans hoped for and more.
Loki ate the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhogg, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit . In Norse mythology, Nidhogg is the dragon that gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil, the world tree. Eiichiro Oda has taken this concept and woven it directly into the lore of Elbaf. Jarul explains that whoever eats this fruit becomes the largest dragon in the entire world . But there is a very important catch.
The size of the dragon depends entirely on the size of the user’s original body . A regular human who eats this fruit would turn into a decently sized dragon. A giant would become much larger. But an Ancient Giant like Loki can draw out the fruit’s full potential and become the truly massive black dragon seen in Chapter 1174 . This explains why Rocks D. Xebec apparently wanted King Harald to eat this fruit back in the day. Only someone with the blood of the Ancient Giants can unlock the true terror of the Nidhogg.
Jarul also shares an old legend from Elbaf. Long ago, there was a figure known as the “God of War” who possessed this same Nidhogg Devil Fruit . This God of War wielded a legendary weapon called Ragnir and was always accompanied by a loyal companion known as the Ice Squirrel Ratatoskr . The legend says this God of War clashed with the Sun God himself at some point in the distant past . This directly connects to the mural shown earlier in the arc and sets up a fascinating parallel to Luffy and Loki fighting side by side now instead of against each other.
When the original God of War died, the soul of Ratatoskr supposedlyๅฏๅฎฟ (took shelter) inside the hammer Ragnir . The hammer has been guarding the Nidhogg Devil Fruit ever since, waiting for a worthy successor strong enough to inherit its power . Loki proved himself worthy, and now he has fully awakened that ancient power.
Luffy Unleashes a Thunderous New Gear 5 Technique
While Jarul explains the past, the battle in the present continues. Saint Sommers refuses to give up. He tries to shoot more thorns at the wounded parents, but the giant children form a line to protect their mothers and fathers . This emotional moment shows the bravery of Elbaf’s next generation.
But Sommers does not get far. Luffy, still in his Gear 5 form, decides it is time to end this fight. He reaches into the clouds with one hand and grabs a bolt of lightning . Using his other hand like a scope to aim, he locks onto Sommers and unleashes a brand-new attack.
The technique is called Gomu Gomu no Dawn Thor Rifle . This is the Gear 5 version of the Thor Rifle attack Luffy first used back in the Dressrosa arc against Don Chinjao. But in Gear 5, the attack reaches a completely different level. Luffy’s giant fist, wrapped in rubber and crackling with electricity, connects with Sommers’ entire body. The impact is brutal and the electrocution is severe . Sommers’ face splits apart and his teeth go flying from the force of the blow .
If that was not enough, Loki then steps onto the defeated Holy Knight, crushing him further . The teamwork between the Sun God and the Accursed Prince is devastatingly effective.
Loki does not stop there. He turns his attention to the nightmare monsters (called MMA monsters in some translations) that have been terrorizing the battlefield . Opening his massive dragon mouth, Loki unleashes a colossal lightning attack named “Thor Heim” (or้ท็ in Japanese) . The blast destroys most of the monsters instantly, clearing the area of Sommers’ summoned creatures.
Imu-sama Reacts to Nidhogg’s Appearance in Elbaf
The chapter closes with a major scene back at Mary Geoise. Imu-sama stands in the Room of Flowers, looking out at the world . The ruler of the World Government clearly senses or sees what is happening in Elbaf. Imu expresses genuine surprise and anger upon realizing the truth.
“I seeโฆ Nidhoggโฆ So you were in Elbaf all along!!” โ Imu-sama
This reaction confirms that the World Government has been searching for the Nidhogg Devil Fruit or its user for a very long time. The fact that Loki has been hiding in the Underworld of Elbaf for years means Imu could not find him until now. With Loki now fully revealed and fighting alongside Luffy, Imu sees a major threat emerging right when the Final Saga is reaching its peak.

What This Means for the Elbaf Arc
The revelations in Chapter 1175 reshape everything fans thought they knew about Elbaf. Loki is not just a troublemaker or a fake villain. He carries the legacy of the God of War, an ancient figure who once fought the Sun God. Yet here he is, fighting alongside the current Sun God, Luffy, against the common enemy represented by the Holy Knights and Imu.
The connection to the mural from Chapter 1138 becomes clearer with each new detail. Nidhogg was depicted on top of the Treasure Tree Adam, and now that image has context and meaning. The ancient history of the world involves these god-like figures clashing, and the current generation seems destined to repeat or resolve that ancient conflict.
The appearance of Ragnir and the mention of Ratatoskr also set up future developments. If Ratatoskr’s soul truly resides in the hammer, that weapon could play a major role in the battles ahead. Fans will be watching closely to see if the ice powers that froze some of the monsters in previous chapters came from Ragnir and who might end up wielding it.
For now, the alliance between Luffy and Loki stands as the most dangerous force on the battlefield. The Holy Knights came to Elbaf expecting to capture children and assert World Government control. Instead, they walked into a meeting with two of the most powerful beings in the world. Sommers has already felt the full force of Gear 5 and Nidhogg’s lightning. Killingham and the other Holy Knights should be very worried about what comes next.
