One Piece: Why Loki Is Called The Accursed Prince, Explained

As a dedicated One Piece fan with years of immersion under my belt, let me tell you, the latest revelations about Loki have sent shockwaves through the fandom. This guy, he’s got more titles than a medieval king and more mystery than a pyramid in Egypt!


This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

Key Takeaways

  • Loki is the Accursed Prince due to his evil acts like murdering his father for a legendary Devil Fruit.
  • Loki’s Devil Fruit gives him immense power, comparable to Gura Gura no Mi, with the potential to destroy the world.
  • Despite claiming to be the Sun God and wanting to destroy the world, Loki’s intentions may be misunderstood by inspired tales.

Loki, a captivating character recently introduced by Oda in One Piece, was initially only discussed during the Whole Cake Island arc. However, his appearance and personality were not revealed until the Elbaf Arc, leaving fans eagerly awaiting his debut. And indeed, the Elbaf Arc did not disappoint; it offered the first glimpse of Loki, revealing that he will play a crucial role in the unfolding narrative.

It was recently revealed that Loki, as is true to the individual that he derives inspiration from, isn’t quite a good guy and, at the same time, has continuously been causing all sorts of trouble in Elbaf, which has led him to be called the Accursed Prince.

  • Loki Committed Atrocities
  • Loki Was Eventually Restrained

In chapter 1130 of the popular series One Piece, viewers uncovered some thrilling details about Loki. It turned out that Loki is the son of King Harald, who ruled Elbaf until not long ago. Interestingly, King Harald had two offspring. The elder one is Hajrudin, whom fans encountered during the Dressrosa Arc. Although Hajrudin isn’t exactly a paragon of virtue, viewers have at least come to trust him somewhat due to his alliance with Luffy. In Dressrosa, he was spotted in search of a potent Devil Fruit, aiming to become King of Elbaf. Now, it’s clear why he had that goal in mind. It turns out that Hajrudin’s younger brother is far more troublesome than one could possibly imagine.

At a certain stage, Harald had another boy who turned out to be none other than Loki. From the start, fans knew that Loki was a troublemaker, as he perpetrated numerous wicked deeds, ultimately facing punishment for his actions. His sentence was crucifixion, and it was eventually executed. However, Loki proved so resilient that the entire land of Elbaf had to unite to subdue him. Loki’s power is staggering, and only the combined might of an entire nation managed to overpower him and finally bind him with chains.

The main cause behind Loki being known as the Curse-stricken Prince is due to his persistent wicked deeds. Not only has Loki carried out one malicious act, but a series of them, earning him such a disreputable image. It’s widely assumed that even prior to his most egregious act, he was already known by this name, though it served to further establish his title.

How Loki Ate The Legendary Devil Fruit Of Elbaf

Loki Murdered His Own Father To Eat A Devil Fruit

In chapter 1130 of One Piece, they unveiled a legendary Devil Fruit from Elbaf, which is traditionally inherited by the royal family. Interestingly, no one has ever consumed this powerful Devil Fruit. Since it’s said to be passed down the line, it seems that the fruit was being saved for a special individual. The growing obsession of Loki with this Devil Fruit eventually led him to defy his own father, King Harald, and ultimately take his life. Such a heinous act of fratricide would never be tolerated by the honorable warriors of Elbaf, contributing to Loki’s eventual sentence of crucifixion. However, it should be noted that Loki eventually managed to consume the legendary Devil Fruit from Elbaf.

It seems that this Devil Fruit granted him immense power, causing the entire nation to unite just to stand a chance against him. However, they were eventually successful in subduing him and he now resides at the fortress of Elbaf, which Oda likens to Niflheim, as suggested by the unique design of Elbaf.

In their belief, the powerful giants of Elbaf maintain that should Loki be freed, he would bring about the end of the world as we currently understand it. This suggests that Loki holds immense power, such that no one, not even the mightiest beings on earth, could possibly stop him.

It appears that Loki’s Devil Fruit possesses immense power, as suggested by its legendary status. Any fruit with such a reputation is likely to be powerful enough to cause global upheaval. This isn’t shocking news to anyone. However, what sets Loki’s Devil Fruit apart is the implication that it grants him the power to potentially destroy the world, similar to the Gura Gura no Mi, a fruit known for its destructive capabilities on a global scale.

For Loki, the significance of this Devil Fruit goes beyond the ordinary, as it is believed to have been rescued by ancient Giants and carefully guarded through generations. This sacred fruit may have originated from the Giants of the Void Century, waiting for the worthy individual to consume it.

Loki’s Sun God Title And The End Of The World

Loki Calls Himself The Man Who Will Destroy The World

In chapter 1130 of One Piece, readers learned that Loki’s official title is the Accursed Prince, but he sees himself as something entirely different – the Sun God. However, this self-proclaimed identity has left fans puzzled. The Sun God is traditionally known for bringing peace and harmony, yet Loki aims to destroy the world. This presents a contradiction because the Sun God and destruction are generally incompatible concepts.

It’s quite possible that there exists a legend shared between Elbaf and Loki, which Loki was somehow influenced by. This story might suggest that the Sun Deity will initiate Ragnarok, a catastrophic war that brings about peace globally. Alternatively, it could be understood as the Sun Deity waging a massive war against immense evil, ultimately overhauling the world by annihilating it first. This theory aligns with fan expectations of an impending Great War, where Luffy, who is likened to the Sun God, will engage in combat. Moreover, this idea harmonizes with the understanding among fans that Luffy will eventually obliterate Fishman Island.

As such, Luffy will go on to destroy the cruel world built by the Celestial Dragons before he liberates everyone. Perhaps, Loki has misinterpreted this message and believes that he has to destroy the world through strength and that is why he claims himself to be the Sun God. This plotline will surely get more focus from Oda in the future, but for now, this is everything that fans know about Loki and his title of Accursed Prince, and why he believes himself to be the Sun God.
