Summary

  • The Elbaf arc of One Piece may reveal Loki as a potential ruler, with his innocence in his father’s death questioned.
  • Loki’s potential role as the King of Giants is overshadowed by theories of his alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates.
  • Fans speculate that Loki’s tragic past will lead to him becoming a heroic figure, possibly joining Luffy in the final battle.

Since the commencement of the Elbaf arc in One Piece, a multitude of significant questions concerning the series’ world have emerged, as this is poised to be one of its most crucial arcs. Although it’s still in its early phases, the arc has already unveiled several shocking revelations such as Scopper Gaban’s long-anticipated introduction, the disclosure of Shanks’ wicked counterpart, the addition of other Knights of the Gods, and the confirmation of the existence of previous worlds.

In the heart of this enchanting island, the saga of the Elbaf Royal Family has been a captivating tale for me! It’s intriguing to ponder the events that unfolded six years prior to our story’s commencement, where Loki, in defiance against the Giants’ forces, allegedly took the life of his father, King Harald. As we stand at Chapter 1143 of One Piece, uncertainty lingers as the truth behind this story is yet to be confirmed. However, speculation about who will succeed King Harald and lead Elbaf next has emerged. Let’s delve into potential candidates for this esteemed role!

Who Is Going To Be Elbaf’s Next King?

A Look At The Primary Candidates

Loki’s First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 1130, “The Accursed Prince”
Hajrudin’s First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 706, “I Won’t Laugh at You”
  • Loki’s innocence may have made him a prime candidate to become a ruler again.
  • Hajrudin is well-loved by all Giants, which could make him the next ruler.

In the beginning of this storyline, it’s disclosed that the ruling family of Elbaf, the Giants’ realm, was then headed by a king named Harald, admired by his people as their greatest ruler ever. The inhabitants of Elbaf are infamous globally for being perceived as brutal savages who relish war above all else, earning them an intimidating reputation as mere destroyers in the eyes of the wider world.

Harald took steps to transform things, as he advocated for trade and amicable ties with nearby nations, simultaneously inspiring his people to let go of their violent history. Regrettably, he was later deceitfully slain by Loki; however, according to Chapter 1143, Loki’s confession in a later chapter revealed that he hadn’t truly killed his father brutally.

You don’t seriously believe that you’re just like everyone else, as if you genuinely had a hand in our father’s murder, right? I find that hard to swallow.

In light of Harald’s passing, the spotlight has shifted towards who will ascend the throne of Elbaf next. Among the contenders are Loki and Hajrudin, half-brothers sired by different women whom our late king had wooed. Typically, it would be Loki who claims the throne of Elbaf, given that the land’s laws dictate that the ruler must have roots in both the mother and father’s lineage of Elbaf Royalty. However, Hajrudin is excluded from this succession due to his mother not belonging to the Royal Line herself.

Despite Harald’s death and Loki being shunned, there seems to be no other choice for the Giants but to crown Hajrudin as their king. This is because he is admired and mysterious, commanding loyalty among his followers, much like Luffy. Intriguingly, Hajrudin has always aspired to rule as the King of the Giants, aiming to bring together all Giant Tribes globally under a single standard, which is his dream.

As I stand here, the events of Chapter 1143 have sent shockwaves through our world, revealing Loki’s innocence in the murder of King Harald. It seems that as this arc unfolds, the Giants are likely to discover the truth about his framing, potentially paving the way for Loki’s redemption and reinstatement as a prime contender for the throne of Elbaf. Yet, amidst this possibility, a significant number of fans speculate that Loki might choose to relinquish his claim, instead bestowing the role upon Hajrudin.

It’s all speculation for now, but there’s a strong belief that Loki might join the Straw Hat Pirates as their last member during their final voyage. This assumption raises several logistical queries. However, if this were to transpire, it would make Elbaf one of the heroes’ most significant allies in the Final Saga, with Loki becoming a crew member and Hajrudin stepping up as the King of Giants.

Will Loki End The Elbaf Arc As An Ally?

The Likelihood Of Loki Becoming A Hero

In Chapter 1143, fans are confident that Loki won’t turn out to be the one who killed his father as initially thought, leading them to believe he may transform into a heroic character in the upcoming storyline – an idea that has been suggested since his debut. It’s now clear that Loki is a tragic figure with a distorted understanding of his past, similar to many characters whom Luffy ultimately assists.

If Luffy teams up with the Straw Hats to face off against the Gods’ Knights on Elbaf, it might result in a surprisingly swift climactic battle. This is due to the fact that both characters possess unique variants of the Nika Fruit, which grant them extraordinary powers beyond those typically associated with Devil Fruits. As such, they could potentially overpower any adversaries that come their way if they combine their formidable strengths.
