As an ardent fan of One Piece for over two decades now, I can confidently say that the upcoming chapter is shaping up to be a real game-changer. The enigmatic figure of Loki, bound and chained in Elbaf, has been a mystery since his introduction. His connection with the legendary Devil Fruit and his ominous declaration of world destruction have left fans intrigued and on the edge of their seats.

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

Key Takeaways

Loki, the Accursed Prince of Elbaf, is tied up and holds a legendary Devil Fruit power.
Luffy may release Loki from his chains using Advanced Haki, leading to catastrophic events.
Loki, initially seen as a major villain, may ally with Luffy against bigger enemies in Elbaf.

In an exhilarating turn of events, the character known as Loki, the prince of Elbaf, has been fully unveiled in “One Piece.” While fans have heard his name before, it wasn’t until chapter 1130 that he made a proper appearance. Despite not having much screen time, what we do know is significant: Loki is currently shackled, and when he eventually breaks free – a moment we can expect later on – the consequences will stretch far beyond Elbaf, affecting the world as a whole.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but feel thrilled at the prospect of watching Loki in action! Fortunately, it seems that his escape from confinement could be coming earlier than many of us might anticipate.

Loki’s Introduction Came In One Piece Chapter 1130

Loki is The Shame Of Elbaf
Loki Holds The Power Of A Legendary Devil Fruit

In the Whole Cake Island arc, Loki was introduced as Big Mom discussed her past connections with the Giants of Elbaf. It was here that author Oda emphasized the immense power and might of these giants in the One Piece world. According to Big Mom, if she had been able to incorporate the strength of the Giant warriors into her already formidable pirate crew, she could have vanquished all other Yonko and taken the title of Pirate King. Indeed, Big Mom seemed quite fortunate because Loki, the Prince of Elbaf, fell in love with Lola. A union between them was quickly arranged, but Lola desired to choose her own spouse rather than be dictated by her mother. This is why she eventually departed from Totland and embarked on a journey to find her own husband. Consequently, Lola persistently pursued several men, including Absalom, which adds an engaging twist to the narrative.

No matter what, this turn of events was disastrous for Big Mom. Her partnership with the Giants crumbled, and despite her efforts to position Chiffon as a replacement for Lola, things went terribly wrong for her. Since then, Big Mom and the Giants have experienced more strained relationships. As for Loki, fans didn’t hear from him again until the Elbaf arc.

For the first time ever, One Piece chapter 1130 finds Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates stepping onto the genuine soil of Elbaf. Post their departure from Block City, Luffy, accompanied by his East Blue comrades plus Chopper, began to delve into the foundations of Elbaf, intending to ascend higher. However, Luffy’s instincts quickly picked up on a powerful entity lurking close by. Intrigued, he went to investigate and was surprised to discover that this individual was none other than Loki, the Prince of Elbaf, who was bound and under restraint.

Luffy Could Help Free Loki In One Piece 1131

In One Piece episode 1130, viewers learned some intriguing details about the character Loki. The Giants disclosed that Loki is known as the Cursed Prince and the Disgrace of Elbaf, which may come as a shock to some fans who had assumed he would be on the side of good. However, this revelation aligns with his nature as a trickster and mischief-maker. It’s been established that Loki was born evil and has committed numerous atrocities throughout his life. Recently, Loki was sentenced to crucifixion, but it remains unclear which specific act led to this punishment. It’s possible that Loki’s father, King Harald, was killed by him after he set his sights on the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf and orchestrated his own father’s murder in order to consume the fruit.

Interestingly, it’s said that this Devil Fruit possesses a legendary power, though its specific abilities remain unclear according to Oda. Regarding Loki, he faced resistance from all of Elbaf and ultimately met with subjugation.

Currently, he’s confined by iron shackles within the mountains of Elbaf’s stronghold, and the inhabitants of Elbaf fear that when Loki regains his freedom, he may bring about the annihilation of the entire globe.

Who Will Free Loki?

As a gamer, I’m pondering over how Loki might manage to break free. But here’s the twist: It’s clear as day to us fans that it won’t be Loki doing the escaping himself. Instead, it’ll be none other than Luffy who sets him free! Remember, we saw him in the last chapter, and Luffy seemed totally cool with his presence, even cracking a smile at the trickster god. He didn’t bat an eye or show any signs of alarm despite seeing Loki’s true colors. It’s obvious that he’s not worried about freeing Loki, and I’d bet my last coin on him being the one to unlock those chains for him!

How Loki Could Be Freed

Regarding how Luffy might accomplish this task, fans should recall that Luffy is adept at utilizing Advanced Haki. This ability allows him to infuse both Armament and Conqueror’s Haki into objects, which in turn enables him to destroy them internally. If he successfully applies this technique, the chains could potentially be broken, thereby allowing Loki to be set free.

What Happens After Loki Is Unleashed?

Loki Will Unleash His Strength Immediately After

In the world of One Piece, it’s inevitable that Loki will find freedom, a fact that worries the Giants of Elbaf, as they foresee the end of the world when he does. However, his role may not be as sinister as initially perceived because Loki doesn’t appear to be the main antagonist. It is plausible that his first encounter will be with Luffy, considering Oda has crafted a rather menacing image for him. Yet, Loki seems to be misguided in his beliefs, claiming to be the Sun God and predicting the impending destruction of the world by the same deity.

Ultimately, Loki must acknowledge that he is not a Sun Deity and that Luffy is the one he perceives himself to be. If this is so, then Loki might join forces with the genuine Sun God, which is Luffy. Remember, the Giants of Elbaf worship the Sun Deity, so Loki would likely not oppose this. Additionally, there are undoubtedly greater threats in Elbaf for all parties to confront, perhaps even the World Government led by Imu, the Ruler of the entire world. With larger challenges on the horizon, Loki will inevitably align with the Straw Hat Pirates and unite with them.

You can access “One Piece” through Viz Media, where fans can read it officially and at no cost on both the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. Mark your calendars as chapter 1131 of “One Piece” is scheduled for release on November 11, 2024.
