However, the mystery surrounding Loki and his Devil Fruit has me hooked like never before!

Growing up in Elbaf, Loki has experienced a life filled with hardships, as is evident from his status as an outlaw in his own country. Yet, he possesses a unique power that sets him apart from others – the Devil Fruit of the Gods. It’s intriguing to see how this powerful fruit and its secrets will unfold, especially considering the recent arrival of Shanks’ twin, who seems hell-bent on finding Loki at all costs.

The twist that Loki may have been framed for King Harald’s murder adds an exciting layer to his character, making me eager to see how things play out between him and Shanks’ twin. I can only imagine the epic battle that awaits us, and I can’t wait to find out if Loki is truly guilty or if he’s been set up all along.

One thing’s for sure – with Oda at the helm, this arc promises to deliver some jaw-dropping revelations and action-packed battles that will leave fans on the edge of their seats!

The Elbaf arc is shaping up to be one for the books!

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

Summary

  • Shanks’s twin appeared in One Piece chapter 1134 accompanied by a bandaged woman.
  • They are seeking out Loki in Elbaf, potentially for a legendary Devil Fruit.
  • A battle between Loki and the Holy Knights from the World Government seems inevitable.

In chapter 1135 of “One Piece,” anticipation ran high among fans as they witnessed several thrilling plot advancements unfold. Although Elbaf offers many intriguing aspects, such as the character of Loki, the previous chapter, 1134, effectively kept everyone’s focus solely on a single figure – Shanks’ twin.

In the closing moments of the previous chapter, a new character made an appearance, leaving readers puzzled about his initial presence. But, in One Piece chapter 1135, we get some clarity regarding their motive for showing up. It appears that tensions are escalating further within this land of Giants.

Shanks’s Twin Arrives In Elbaf

  • Shanks Twin Made His Appearance In One Piece 1134
  • He’s Accompanied By A Bandaged Woman

In the 907th chapter of One Piece, readers were first introduced to Shanks’s long-lost twin. At that time, he interacted with the Five Elders, but since his existence was still a secret, fans mistakenly believed him to be Shanks himself. However, it wasn’t until Chapter 1134 that it became clear this character was not Shanks, as he had been in Elbaf at that time and is now sailing the seas with the Red Hair Pirates. The individual summoned from Elbaf using a circle was someone else entirely, bearing a resemblance to Shanks. This person is undoubtedly his twin, and they are accompanied by an enigmatic woman wrapped in bandages, whose true identity remains a mystery for now.

At the conclusion of One Piece Chapter 1134, viewers witnessed a colossal bolt of black lightning strike the castle en route to Western Elbaf Village. Inside this castle, a substantial summoning circle was created on the floor, and flames erupted from it too. Two figures materialized, and given past experiences, this summoning circle is associated with the World Government. This particular circle was also utilized by the Five Elders during the Egghead Arc, implying that this Shanks’ twin is undoubtedly a Holy Knight member. Regrettably, we were left in suspense about why this individual was in Elbaf in the preceding chapter, thus all eyes turned towards One Piece Chapter 1135.

Shanks’s Twin Wants To Get To Loki

The Target Might Be The Legendary Devil Fruit Of Elbaf

Over the past week, fans have been curious about Shanks’s twin being in Elbaf. Now, Oda has given them an explanation. It turns out that the pair who emerged from a summoning circle in Elbaf are looking for Loki. This became apparent in One Piece chapter 1135 when two giants guarding Elbaf Village encountered the hooded individuals. As you’d expect, they questioned these individuals about their purpose and if they were connected to the Straw Hat Pirates. The individuals responded that they were searching for a man named Loki because that is who they have business with.

Indeed, it’s well-known among fans that Loki was captured for the heinous act of murdering his own father. The colossal beings from Elbaf are not likely to reveal Loki’s whereabouts so lightly. However, Shanks’ twin and the enigmatic woman wrapped in bandages were unsatisfied with the response they received. The former then retaliated against the Giant, aiming to coerce information about Loki’s location. This suggests that they may soon discover his whereabouts and could encounter him in the near future.

It’s intriguing to ponder about the possible connection between Shanks’ twin and Loki, a mystery that fans are yet to unravel conclusively. What is certain is that Loki possesses an extraordinary bounty, unlike any other seen in ‘One Piece’. The narrative also reveals that Loki has a unique Devil Fruit, one which has been inherited through generations in Elba. Loki consumed this Devil Fruit roughly six years ago and has wielded its power ever since.

It’s plausible to speculate that this devil fruit is what the Holy Knights, and by extension, the World Government are after, possibly explaining their presence in this country initially. However, this raises a question as to why the World Government didn’t endeavor to seek this Devil Fruit earlier.

In my excitement, I can’t help but ponder: If only the world government hadn’t met with resistance from Luffy, they might have effortlessly obtained that Devil Fruit! Of course, there must be a compelling reason behind their decision to assault Elbaf at this precise moment, and I’m eagerly awaiting the story to unveil it.

Will Loki Fight Shanks’s Twin?

Loki Will Be Seen In Battle Soon Enough

It appears that a confrontation between Loki and the Holy Knights of the World Government is shaping up to be unavoidable. These knights will journey into the Underworld, where they will encounter Loki and potentially uncover a wealth of information about him. One intriguing detail that has been emphasized consistently in One Piece is the allegation that Loki murdered his father. This assertion is being widely accepted as fact by many, but given Oda’s penchant for mystery and misdirection, fans might want to ponder if this account is entirely accurate.

It’s plausible that Loki wasn’t responsible for King Harald’s murder; instead, someone else might be the true culprit. Fans may recall that Loki recently criticized Shanks as a cowardly pirate, and this could relate to the current predicament. If Shanks’ twin was the one who killed King Harald, then perhaps this is why Loki dislikes him so much. It’s possible that Loki was set up due to consuming the Devil Fruit to shield it from the Holy Knights, but the Giants might have interpreted this as evidence of his guilt in his father’s murder.

In another interpretation, it might be that Shanks approached Loki earlier in the land because he wanted to clarify matters regarding King Harald’s demise. Maybe Shanks wished to make Loki aware that he had no involvement in the king’s death, and instead, his brother was the one who committed the crime. The upcoming events in Elbaf are expected to be thrilling, and fans are eagerly anticipating the encounter between Shanks’ twin and Loki, which is likely to trigger a significant battle. As the storyline of One Piece unfolds in Elbaf, things can’t get any more exhilarating, and we hope that Oda maintains this momentum, offering even more electrifying chapters ahead.
