Loki's new ally in One Piece could introduce the series' Jormungandr

Loki has recently become one of the most intriguing characters in One Piece, with Shanks' alleged twin and a mysterious woman wrapped in bandages appearing in Elbaph to search for the prince. He is currently imprisoned for killing his father, a crime he committed to obtain an unknown legendary Devil Fruit.

Loki has been seen talking to an unknown individual named Mosa through his Den Den Mushi. Despite never meeting in person, Loki and Mosa have become friends through their constant conversations. A recent One Piece fan theory suggests that Mosa could introduce a being similar to Jormungandr from Norse mythology.

Loki's introduction adds an intriguing dynamic to One Piece, as his character seems to have notable similarities with Donquixote Doflamingo. Loki, a prince of Elbaph, is the son of King Harland and the younger brother of Hajrudin. He is currently imprisoned for killing his father, which he did to obtain a legendary Devil Fruit that was passed down along generations of the royal family.

He was captured by Elbaph's army after this and sentenced to crucifixion. Despite his attempts to escape, the strongest giants of Elbaph subdued Loki, binding him in seastone chains across Treasure Tree Adam in the Underworld, where he has been for the past six years.

While chained to the tree, Loki garnered a group of human followers and maintained his good relationship with the beasts. He met with Luffy in the series, but their meeting was less favorable. Following their meeting. Loki talked to his longtime friend, Mosa, through Den Den Mushi, suggesting that he would've done terrible things to those who put Mosa in their current situation.

A popular fan theory on Reddit suggests that Mosa is an ancient fishman inspired by Jormungandr and will help Loki bring about Ragnarök. In Norse mythology, Jormungandr, the world serpent, is deeply tied to Loki and Ragnarök, the end of the world. This theory holds weight, considering Loki from One Piece claims he'll be the one to bring about the end of the world in the series.

The existence of ancient giants like Oars has already been revealed in the series, with these giants likely originating from Elbaph. Thus, there could've been a tribe of ancient fishmen composed of extinct sea creatures, such as the giant serpent, Jormungandr, from Norse mythology.

Like the giants, these fishmen likely evolved for hundreds of years, adapting to other marine lifeforms. With dinosaurs already existing in the series, an aquatic reptile species of the same scale could've also existed in the past, with these two evolving side by side.

Loki refers to Mosa with the Japanese suffix "kō," indicating friendly respect. This respect may arise from Mosa being the last surviving member of his extinct race and possessing powers crucial to Loki's plan to end the world.

It’s possible that the royal family of Elbaph knew about this race of fishmen, which might explain why Loki shows respect to its last living member. The lower regions of Elbaph, being more primal and at sea level, could have served as a hideout for the fishmen and might be where Mosa currently resides.

Mosa's patience reflects Jormungandr from Norse mythology, who waits patiently in the ocean for Ragnarök. If Loki isn’t evil, Ragnarök might represent the concept of "Dawn," a term often mentioned in the series. This could explain why Loki refers to himself as the Sun God.

Dawn and Ragnarök might represent the same event—the downfall of the current world order. This transformation could unify the seas by removing the Redline and Grand Line, bringing freedom to everyone. The World Government likely deployed the Holy Knights to Elbaph to search for Loki and prevent Ragnarök, driven by fear of this monumental change.
