by

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

Summary

  • Giants are the strongest race in One Piece and will be Luffy’s key allies
  • New Giant Warrior Pirates are incomplete but will play a vital role in the Final War
  • Loki and Hajrudin are expected to lead as powerful allies in the upcoming saga

In the Final Arc, One Piece finds itself, and Oda plans to depict what he has called the most epic war yet – a conflict that will dwarf Marineford in scale. Undoubtedly, Luffy will be the focal point of this confrontation, but he won’t fight it single-handedly.

Readers are certain that Luffy possesses his pirate team, and beyond that, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet is on standby to assist him in combat. With formidable foes like the Holy Knights, the Five Elders, and of course, Imu, Luffy requires the strongest support he can get, which can only be provided by allies. Already, Oda has unveiled two exceptionally powerful allies for Luffy in the Final Saga.

Why The New Giant Warriors Will Be Luffy’s Strongest Allies

  • The Giants Are The Strongest Race In One Piece
  • The Allegiance Of The Giants Will Shape The World

In the epic saga of One Piece, Luffy boasts numerous supporters who will rally behind him when the great war ensues. However, one faction stands out above all others in the eyes of fans – the Giants of the One Piece world. To some, this may seem odd, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear why. The creator, Oda, has consistently emphasized that the Giants are the most powerful race within the One Piece universe. Their strength surpasses that of other races and they pose a significant danger to the World Government. In days long past, the Giants ruled the New World with an iron grip, demonstrating their immense influence. This just goes to show how unparalleled their power once was.

Lately, Gunko has made it clear to fans that the Giants play a crucial role in the climactic Final War. Whichever side the Giants choose will significantly influence the war’s outcome, as expressed by Gunko herself. Moreover, the World Government is particularly keen on recruiting the Giants as their mercenaries, which underscores their immense power. Consequently, it seems that in the final chapters of One Piece, the Giants will prove to be Luffy’s most formidable allies, adding an extra layer of anticipation to the upcoming conflict.

The New Giant Warriors Are Incomplete At The Moment

Giants Historically Work In Duos

Regarding the Giants, it’s common knowledge among fans that both the Giant Warrior Pirates and the New Giant Warrior Pirates stand by Luffy’s side. However, it is only the New Giant Warrior Pirates who are officially part of Luffy’s team, a connection established through the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. At present, the New Giant Warrior Pirates are not at their full strength; they’re currently operating below their maximum capacity and are missing some crew members.

From a historical perspective, it’s been observed that Giant characters in One Piece tend to work in pairs, demonstrating an equal balance of strength. The first duo introduced was Dorry and Brogy in Little Garden, followed by Oimo and Kashi during the Enies Lobby arc. More recently, Jorul and Jarul were presented on Whole Cake Island, also displaying this pattern of equally strong pairs. However, in the current era, the New Giant Warrior Pirates seem to be in an incomplete state with no recognized leaders among them. Given this gap and the tradition of Giants working in pairs, it’s highly likely that creator Oda will introduce two formidable Giants during the Elbaf arc and potentially align them with Luffy.

Loki And Hajrudin Will Be Two Of Luffy’s Strongest Allies

In the approaching Giants’ epoch, Loki and Hajrudin will take charge, spearheading the group. Currently, Hajrudin commands the New Giant Warrior Pirates, but Loki is yet to appear. These two must team up, whether on board the New Giant Warrior Pirates ship or elsewhere. Loki, a fearsome being, is rumored to possess strength that could annihilate not just Elbaf, but the entire world. Conversely, Hajrudin is relatively insignificant in comparison, recognized for his lesser power. However, Hajrudin must rise to the occasion.

Historically, the Giant duo holds an equal strength, implying that Hajrudin will likely require a significant enhancement, either through a Devil Fruit or mastery of Haki. In the climactic battle, Hajrudin and Loki should match each other’s power, simultaneously standing as two of Luffy’s most formidable allies against Imu and their forces.

One Piece’s next chapter, number 1147, will be released in just a few days, specifically on Sunday (April 27) worldwide. While Japan gets it at 12AM JST on Monday, most international readers will access the chapter on April 27 itself. The official release date for One Piece Chapter 1147 is set for April 27, 2025.
