BOMBSHELL: One Piece Chapter 1146 EXPOSES King Harald’s SHOCKING True Loyalty!

by

Summary

  • Chapter 1146 reveals King Harald’s true allegiance as being an enemy to his people.
  • Harald’s promotion of peace may have been a ploy to weaken Elbaf for a World Government takeover.
  • Upon Harald’s betrayal being revealed, the island may change rulers and face off against the Gods Knights.

From the moment it started, the Elbaf arc in One Piece has swiftly risen among the franchise’s top and most crucial storylines. Despite being relatively new, the revelations unveiled during its brief run have been some of the most impactful throughout the narrative, causing many One Piece fans to label it as one of the series’ most critical arcs.

Just like any other plot twist in a story, the island of Elbaf is brimming with mystery and speculation, leaving plenty for fans to ponder about every detail they encounter. Among the many theories surrounding this island, one of the most intriguing was about King Harald’s true loyalty, and it seems that more light might have been shed on this matter in Chapter 1146. To explain why King Harald probably sided with the Gods Knights throughout, let’s delve into the reasons behind his likely alliance.

Chapter 1146 Confirms Harald To Be An Enemy

The Deceptive King Of Elbaf

Arc Start One Piece, Chapter 1126, “Settling the Score”
Members of the Royal Family King Harald, Loki, Hajrudin

At the onset of the Elbaf arc, viewers met the Royal Family residing on the island, with only three members identified initially. What took many by surprise was the unveiling of Hajrudin as the king’s son; however, he couldn’t inherit the throne because he wasn’t born within the royal line. This made Loki, the younger half-brother, the next in line to succeed King Harald following his demise.

Harald was universally recognized throughout Elbaf as its most distinguished ruler in history. Being a descendant of the Ancient Giants, Harald exhibited exceptional bravery, but unlike his fellow giants, he prioritized advocating for peace above all else. In a powerful gesture symbolizing his dedication to transforming his nation’s image, he removed his horns. To every citizen of Elbaf, he was highly respected as the greatest monarch due to his commitment to pursuing peace rather than war.

Though it’s undeniably impressive, the change sparked immediate doubts among fans. This is due to the fact that the Giants of Elbaf are globally recognized as an incredibly powerful race, so strong that no one has been able to challenge them. Consequently, Elbaf has stayed independent from the World Government for eight centuries. Thus, the notion that they are now altering their image towards peacefulness stirred unease among many, and Chapter 1146 seems to support this perspective.

The main idea is that while Harald is widely regarded as Elbaf’s most renowned monarch, it’s suspected that his advocacy for peace and softening of the Giants’ warrior traditions was actually a covert operation. He allegedly collaborated with the Gods Knights to achieve this. Some viewers believe that Harald’s emphasis on peace was strategically done, so as to make the Giants less warlike, making them more submissive over time.

Harald… that bastard… he really screwed it up this time!

Through his actions, Harald might have inadvertently made the nation vulnerable enough for a potential takeover by the World Government during the Final War, as they would then benefit from the strongest race on their side. It’s unclear whether Harald had noble or malicious intentions; he could have been trying to foster good relations with neighboring countries, or perhaps saw the strength of the World Government and realized the Giants wouldn’t stand a chance alone.

At the moment, it’s a puzzle how these events might transpire. Yet, St. Sommer’s remarks at the end of Chapter 1146 hint that there may have been a secret arrangement or collaboration between the deceased king and the Gods Knights. Unfortunately, this plan was disrupted by Loki’s actions. For now, fans can only speculate and stay tuned for more revelations about Loki’s past, which could shed light on all the parties involved.

What This Means For The Future Of Elbaf

Where Does The Story Go From Here?

  • Harald may have betrayed his people because he was either evil or saw no alternative to ensure survival.
  • This reveals that Loki was misunderstood, confirming fan theories.

When it’s widely recognized what Harald truly stands for, life on this island is bound to shift dramatically. Once it’s discovered that Loki has been innocent all along, the Giants are expected to join forces with him, instigating a conflict against the Gods Knights. If Loki prevails in this battle, he may very well become the new ruler of the island, or if not, Hajrudin is most likely to take over instead.

Additionally, an intriguing aspect often overlooked by fans involves the enormous sword embedded in Jarul’s skull, strikingly alike to Harald’s sword depicted in his portrait. This could potentially be one of the earliest hints pointing towards Harald’s true loyalty. As time passes, there’s a possibility that Jarul may recall his betrayal and join forces with us in the climactic battle against the Gods Knights on Elbaf.
