Loki, the mysterious prince of Elbaf, finally made a proper debut in One Piece Chapter 1130. His name, first referenced during the Whole Cake Island arc, has intrigued fans for years, and his full reveal brings thrilling possibilities. Currently imprisoned in chains, Loki’s eventual release promises to unleash chaos not only in Elbaf but across the world.
Background
In the Whole Cake Island arc, Big Mom’s fascination with the Giants of Elbaf hinted at their overwhelming strength. Big Mom aimed to harness their power to defeat the other Yonko and claim the Pirate King title. She almost succeeded by arranging a marriage between Loki and her daughter, Lola. However, Lola’s defiance and decision to choose her own path disrupted Big Mom’s plans, fracturing her relationship with the Giants. Since then, Loki has remained an enigmatic figure—until now.
In Chapter 1130, Luffy and his crew finally reach Elbaf. They quickly sense a powerful presence, leading them to the chained Loki. As the story progresses, fans eagerly anticipate his release and the consequences that will follow.
How Luffy Could Set Him Free
In Elbaf, Loki is infamous as the “Accursed Prince,” a moniker that aligns with his trickster namesake from mythology. Once seen as a promising leader, Loki’s violent deeds tarnished his reputation, resulting in his imprisonment. Rumor has it that Loki orchestrated the death of his father, King Harald, and consumed a legendary Devil Fruit, which added to his sinister reputation and brought him to his current fate.
With Luffy’s recent encounter, the mystery shifts to how he will escape. Given Luffy’s advanced mastery of Haki, specifically Armament and Conqueror’s Haki, he has the ability to destroy materials from within. This power could allow him to shatter Loki’s chains, even though it may unleash a force that Elbaf believes could end the world.
The Potential Aftermath
If Loki is freed, the Giants of Elbaf fear a global catastrophe. Although Loki’s reputation paints him as a villain, his misguided belief in being a Sun God may complicate his intentions. This delusion, combined with his claimed destiny to “destroy the world,” suggests he may first oppose Luffy.
However, if Loki realizes that Luffy is the true figure of the Sun God in Elbafian lore, an alliance may form between them. With significant threats looming, including the World Government and its enigmatic leader Imu, Loki could become a critical ally to the Straw Hats.
One Piece continues to be available through Viz Media, Shonen Jump, and Manga Plus, with Chapter 1131 set to release on November 11, 2024. Fans await the next chapter with bated breath, eager to see how Luffy’s encounter with Loki will unfold.
