The anticipation and excitement surrounding a storyline in “One Piece” has never reached the level of Elbaf. Since the show’s inception, viewers have eagerly awaited the moment when the Straw Hat crew would journey to this fabled island inhabited by giants. Now, with the arc unfolding, it’s clear that the hype was justified.
Although the Elbaf arc is still developing, it has already made significant revelations about its storyline and lore. These disclosures encompass aspects from the Void Century, new characters, as well as direct implications for the Straw Hats. Thus, let’s examine the most substantial disclosures from Elbaf so far and discuss how they might impact not only the future of the arc but also the broader scope of One Piece.
Loki, The Accursed Prince Of Elbaf
The Villainous Prince
First Appearance | One Piece, Chapter 1130, “The Accursed Prince” |
---|---|
Debut Date | October 21, 2024 |
In the Wholecake Island storyline, Loki was initially introduced as a compassionate character who was engaged to Lola. However, a shocking revelation occurred in Chapter 1130 of One Piece that sent fans into an uproar, as it unveiled Loki’s true form. This was arguably the most thrilling villain debut in the series’ history. Later, it was revealed that Loki earned the nickname ‘The Accursed Prince’ because of his past misbehavior and mischief during his youth, making him malevolent and problematic.
I am the Sun God who will bring about the end of the world!
In time, Loki consumed the mythical Devil Fruit belonging to the Elbaf Royal Family, rumored to transform its bearer into a ‘Sun Deity’, causing much speculation among fans. Loki’s past is riddled with mysteries, particularly his confrontation with his father, King Harald, during which he slays the monarch and inadvertently brings about the demise of the Elbaf Royal Family.
The ‘Sun God’ Devil Fruit Of Elbaf
A Legendary Devil Fruit
First Appearance | One Piece, Chapter 1130, “The Accursed Prince” |
---|---|
Debut Date | October 21, 2024 |
It appears that what makes Loki intriguing is his enigmatic “Divine Fruit”. Since Wano, viewers have discovered that Nika is a Solar Deity, and Luffy obtained its power after consuming the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. Interestingly, it’s been hinted that the giants of Elbaf know of another Devil Fruit capable of bestowing Sun God powers, which was once possessed by the Royal Family.
The rulers of the day always tend to fear Nika’s return.
So far, it appears Loki has slain King Harald for a mysterious fruit, an act that contradicts Nika’s known character. The true power and characteristics of Loki’s Devil Fruit remain unknown, but rumors suggest it grants him immense strength and transforms him into a Sun God capable of causing global destruction. For now, fans can only speculate about the future effects of this fruit and uncover its true nature.
The True Nature Of Sun God Nika
A Liberator Or A Destroyer?
First Mention | One Piece, Chapter 1136, “The Land That Awaits the Sun” |
---|---|
Debut Date | January 20, 2025 |
As an observer, I must express that one of the most astonishing revelations in this storyline centers on Nika himself. Up until Wano, we’ve viewed Nika as a benevolent figure, liberating oppressed populations worldwide and spreading joy wherever he goes. But, Chapter 1136 introduced an intriguing twist: Jarul mentioned that some ancient texts refer to the Sun God Nika not only as a liberator but also as a formidable destroyer who instilled fear in those who knew of him.
Who can say if he was the world’s savior or the great destroyer who brought it crashing down…
I was absolutely thrilled by this game-changing unveiling! It’s got my creative juices flowing with all the potential it presents for the show’s history and future. As of now, we’re clueless about what makes Nika a destroyer, but fans are already spinning theories galore! Some speculate that the original Nika was a destroyer, while others propose the existence of two Sun God Devil Fruits, one granting destructive powers. This new revelation aligns beautifully with the theory surrounding Loki’s fruit too. I can’t wait to see where these theories lead us!
The Previous Destructions Of The World
The World Has Been Destroyed Twice Before
First Appearance | One Piece, Chapter 1136, “The Land That Awaits the Sun” |
---|---|
Debut Date | January 20, 2025 |
This new disclosure aligns with the previous one, which asserts that Nika holds a dual reputation: as a liberator and a demolisher. Fans have been aware of the recurring destruction of the world since Vegapunk’s broadcast during the Egghead arc, where he unveiled that the current sinking of the world is not an unprecedented event.
Our world is going to sink into the ocean!
It transpired in Elbaf that similar events have occurred on the planet twice before, possibly indicating a cyclical pattern or repetition in its history. The most recent destruction alludes to Joyboy’s era, when a vast part of the world submerged beneath the sea. The earlier occurrence remains shrouded in mystery, suggesting an ancient past teeming with tales as captivating as the Void Century, but even older – an era where the first Nika fruit user existed.
FIgarland Shamrock And The Gods’ Knight’s Plan
The Answer To A Longstanding Theory
First Appearance | One Piece, Chapter 1134, “The Owl Library” |
---|---|
Debut Date | December 23, 2024 |
Without a doubt, one of the most significant disclosures thus far in the storyline has been the validation of the long-held theory about Shanks having an evil counterpart. Although this idea was hinted at as early as Chapter 907, it wasn’t until Chapter 1137 that it was definitively established: the current commander of the Gods’ Knights is the son of Figarland Garling and the twin brother of Shanks; he goes by St. Figarland Shamrock.
A while back, the fierce warrior tribes of Elbaf held sway over the New World. The World Government is determined to subdue them, whatever it takes!
Gunko, another Gods’ Knight, and he himself arrived on Elbaf. Their goal was to recruit Loki into their group due to Elbaf showing signs of instability and weakness, which made it ripe for a takeover by the World Government. This development could significantly impact the series in the future, and we can expect intense battles not only for the Straw Hats but also for their other allies as they prepare for the Final War.
One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
