Among the latest characters from the popular series One Piece, it’s clear that Loki is the one generating a great deal of excitement among fans. Even with the introduction of the God’s Knights and Shanks’ twin brother, Shamrock, Loki appears to be dominating the majority of discussions about the show right now. Fans are engaged in debates over his loyalties, ethics, and potential future alliance with the Straw Hat Crew. It seems challenging to engage in a discussion about One Piece without bringing up Loki when speaking to a series enthusiast.

It’s quite understandable why Loki is well-liked among the One Piece community, given aspects like his enigmatic character and engaging personality. However, it might be a significant factor fueling fan affection for the character: their resemblance to Luffy. At first glance, this similarity may not be apparent, but Loki shares many traits that create an intriguing parallel with One Piece’s main character, making him more endearing to fans.

Loki Has Been A Menacing Figure In One Piece’s Elbaf

Luffy Still Sympathizes With Loki For Some Reason

In the “Elbaf Arc” of the series “One Piece,” Loki is a formidable, yet hazardous trickster among the Giants, known for unleashing lethal pranks since his youth. He’s responsible for things like subduing the beasts from Elbaf’s Underworld and using them to attack villages. As the younger royal of Elbaf, Loki was driven by ambition for power, which led him to consume his father’s Devil Fruit. It is said that before the events of “One Piece,” Loki murdered his father and took the Devil Fruit, but he was eventually restrained by Shanks.

At present, Loki is confined in a state that spans up until the contemporary era of “One Piece”, isolated from the Giant community and posing a potential danger if set free. Intriguingly, Loki communicates this intention to Luffy directly, revealing his desire to annihilate the world should he ever be released, reflecting his deep-seated resentment towards those who imprisoned him. Despite objections from “One Piece’s” New Giant Pirates, Luffy eventually frees Loki, enabling him to stand for the first time, which results in an immediate assault on the Treasure Tree Adam of Elbaf.

Loki And Luffy Share Many Qualities In One Piece

Both Are Connected To Animals And Desire Freedom

They Both Strive For Freedom As Well

Even though Loki appears to be a typical villain in many aspects, there are certain characteristics he shares with Luffy from the series One Piece. For one, similar to how Luffy connects with animals, Loki has a bond with the creatures of Elbaf’s Underworld. This relationship mirrors Luffy’s frequent connections with animals, particularly during his time skip training. Although it may seem insignificant, coupled with Loki’s friendship with Mosa, this could suggest that there might be a compassionate side to Loki that has yet to be revealed by the fans.

It appears that Loki’s longing to break free from his bonds mirrors Luffy’s yearning for freedom on the open seas in “One Piece”. Despite these being distinct circumstances, Loki’s captivity and desire for liberty seem to resonate with the Straw Hat Captain, causing him to liberate the colossal One Piece Giant. Following his release, Loki’s attack on the Elbaf tree is all that transpires. Fans will now have to wait and see if Loki’s pursuit of freedom persists beyond his confinement.

Both Loki And Luffy may Be Connected To Nika

The Sun God May Be Their Biggest Link

To sum up, both characters in this story share a somewhat similar personality beneath their tough exteriors. Loki frequently shows traits similar to Luffy from One Piece, such as his unwavering honesty and frequent cheerful expressions. Some fans have speculated that these characteristics hint at a connection between him and the Sun God Nika, much like Luffy’s link. However, his destructive side could suggest a more sinister interpretation of this legendary figure from One Piece history.

For now, we must remain patient to discover if Loki will ultimately bring about the demise of the world in “One Piece” or not.
