One Piece 1132: Prince Loki is Oda's Masterpiece

The Start of the Elbaf Arc

One Piece's Final Saga continues to deliver shocking moments as the Straw Hats embark on their new adventure in Elbaf, the land of the Giants, following the conclusion of the Egghead incident. The highly-anticipated Elbaf Arc has officially commenced, and fans are introduced to Prince Loki. While he has been mentioned previously in the story, his true identity was revealed in Chapter 1130.

Prince Loki: The Sun God

Prince Loki possesses unprecedented powers and refers to himself as the Sun God. Although much about him remains undisclosed, there are ample hints suggesting he could be the primary antagonist of this arc. His connection to Lola, Big Mom’s daughter and Chiffon’s twin sister, adds an intriguing layer to his character. Loki becomes infatuated with Lola and proposes a political marriage, which Big Mom eagerly accepts to mend her strained relationship with the Giants. However, Lola ultimately rejects him in pursuit of true love, indicating that Loki's motivations may not stem from genuine affection.

The Cursed Prince of Elbaf

Despite his royal status, Loki is known as the "Cursed Prince" and the "Shame of Elbaf." Born 63 years ago, he has garnered a notorious reputation, especially when compared to his older brother, Hajrudin, who is the captain of the New Giant Pirates and an ally of Luffy in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. Loki's dark past includes committing numerous evil deeds, culminating in a heinous act that led to his crucifixion.

Enormous Power Comes at a Price

Loki is recognized as one of the most formidable warriors in Elbaf, with strength that has only grown since he consumed a legendary devil fruit, a power that has been passed down through the royal family for generations. His ascent to power came at a grave cost—he killed his father to obtain the fruit, which remains shrouded in mystery. Six years ago, he was crucified, requiring the combined efforts of Elbaf’s warriors to restrain him.

Loki’s Bounty Revealed

Recent spoilers indicate that the World Government has placed a special bounty of 2.6 billion berries on Loki’s head. This bounty was issued six years ago, prior to his consumption of the devil fruit and subsequent detention, suggesting that his current strength warrants an even higher reward.

Loki's Connection to Shanks

Before his imprisonment, Loki had a falling out with Shanks, who has been established as a significant figure in Elbaf. The manga reveals that Shanks frequently visits the island, but for unknown reasons, he used his Haki to incapacitate Loki’s subordinates. This incident piques Luffy’s curiosity, especially as Loki notices Luffy’s admiration for Shanks. While Loki teases Luffy about his connection to Shanks, he only promises to divulge the full story once Luffy frees him, leaving readers eager to see how this dynamic unfolds.

Conclusion

With the Egghead Incident Arc concluded, fans can look forward to the developments in the Elbaf Arc. Be sure to check out our other articles discussing hints about Akainu’s daughter and Oda’s insights into the Rocky Port Incident.

One Piece Chapter 1131: Loki Vs Luffy

With the Elbaf Arc officially underway and the Straw Hat Pirates finally stepping onto the land of the Giants, anticipation for One Piece chapter 1131 is at an all-time high. Fans are eager to witness the thrilling events that will unfold in this legendary realm, as well as potential developments from across the world.

In this chapter, Luffy, who embodies the sun god Nika, is set to confront Loki, a formidable giant from Elbaf. The stage is being set for an epic clash, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

While the wait for chapter 1131 may feel lengthy, this break offers fans a chance to speculate on the exciting possibilities surrounding Elbaf and to gain insight into Oda's narrative direction. As the Elbaf Arc gains momentum, chapter 1131 promises to be a pivotal moment in the saga.

Loki vs. Luffy: The Setup in One Piece 1131

Loki's character has finally been revealed in One Piece, and the prospect of a showdown with Luffy looms large. Some fans might question how such a confrontation could occur, but the answer lies in Loki's current predicament—he is in chains. This revelation came to light in the previous chapter when Luffy sought him out. Although Luffy senses Loki's immense power, he does not appear to harbor hostility toward him.

Known as the Disgraced Prince of Elbaf, Loki's introduction has sparked intrigue. Despite the tension, their interaction suggests a complex relationship. Loki's declaration of being the Sun God and his intention to bring destruction adds layers to his character and the potential conflict with Luffy.

Oda's decision to have Luffy encounter Loki early in the arc hints at a significant development: Luffy may be the key to freeing him from his chains. As a Yonko, Luffy possesses the strength to break Loki's restraints, likely crafted from Sea Prism Stone due to his Devil Fruit abilities. However, this will require considerable effort on Luffy's part.

If Luffy succeeds in liberating Loki, it could lead to an intense battle in chapter 1131. Fans may wonder why Luffy would choose to free Loki. Perhaps Loki has something to offer in return, or Luffy, sensing no malice from him, believes he can handle any potential threat.

This situation mirrors Luffy's previous attempts to free Kaku and Lucci on Egghead, where he felt confident in his ability to manage the outcome. A similar dynamic may unfold in chapter 1131, and should Loki regain his powers, he will undoubtedly demonstrate that he is a force to be reckoned with.

Fun Loki Trivia

Did you know that Loki's character is inspired by Norse mythology? In those tales, Loki is known as a trickster god, often causing chaos but also playing a crucial role in the events leading to Ragnarok, the end of the world. This mythological background adds an intriguing layer to his character in One Piece, where he is portrayed as a complex figure with the potential for both destruction and redemption.

Final version in this week Color Spread is: "Straw Hat crew wearing wizard costumes (like Hogwarts' uniforms) are riding brooms in the sky together with a massive dragon".
- Chapter starts in "Bigstein Castle". Sanji carries Nami and jumps down from the castle with Luffy, Zoro and Usopp. They arrive to the land below and we can see that the entire kingdom is made of LEGO pieces with huge Yggdrasil tree in the middle.
- Zoro explains that he woke up at the other side of town and then he followed the noise to find Luffy defeating giant rabbit.
- Luffy says Usopp that he should be able to defeat that lion on his own. Usopp replies he was in a panic since he woke up while being eaten by the cat.
- Usopp says this kingdom is not Elbaf since their giant warrior outfits are normal size. So Staw Hat crew decides to go to the giant town to ask people what is happening.
- On the way to the town, they encounter a normal size bearded guy (wearing giant outfits) riding a giant grasshopper.

Bearded guy: "Oh, you guys are new here right? This is the "Land of Gods"!!"
- Bearded guy explains that this is a country ruled by "Gods": the "Ear God" (rabbit), the "Spike God" (hedgehog) and "Iskat" (17) the cat the rules the castle.
Bearded guy: "Recently, there's also the incident of "Ear God" that being burned to death outside of town..." Luffy: "Ah!! My bad, that~~~ uhbuh!!
- Usopp covers Luffy's mouth before Luffy talks too much, while Zoro, Nami and Sanji are whistling and looking the other way to hide that they killed the rabbit loool
Bearded guy: "If you are hungry, you can just come by our town to get some "rations".
But you can't go to the other side of the castle!!"
Luffy: "Huh? Why?"
Bearded guy: "The "Sun God's Temple" is there and it's guarded by ferocious guardians!!! NO ONE has ever approached the temple and RETURN to tell the tale!!"
Nami: "Wait... Don't phrase it like that, or he will..."
Luffy: "Hmmmm..."
- When Luffy hears bearded guy words his face changes to a very funny facial expression and runs right to the "Sun God's Temple". Zoro got interested when he hears there are guardian beasts and run after Luffy. Sanji scolds Zoro for always going with Luffy's flow lol
- As Luffy is running he wonders why the road seems so long and the entire kingdom looks so wide, but suddenly he hits something invisible and breaks it.
- It is revealed to be a giant mirror, the sky and wide scenery they see are all mirror reflection. The people in LEGO town are shocked to see the sky cracks above them. Luffy crosses that mirror and falls to the floor.
- After the mirror is broken, it's reveal that the entire LEGO kingdom is a model/diorama placed in a giant's room. The diorama is inside a huge cage covered with glass. From inside the glasses are mirrors but from outside look like a fish-tank (we can see the inside from the outside). The cage takes up a large part of the room (from top to bottom of the room) and the front part of the cage has a huge grille with a door (with the size for a giant).
- In the room there are some furniture too, like a giant wood table. And on top of the table there are fabrics, threads and a giant sewing machine. We can see a lot of LEGO pieces disperse in the floor of the room (where Luffy fell). Straw Hat crew is in shock.
Nami: "What is going on??"
Sanji: "If there are giants living on this side... it would be as if we are some pets being given an elaborated cage...!!"
Nami: "It can't be!!"
Mysterious person: "He~~~ey!! What was that noise? Are you on my side~~? Help me~~~"
Nami: "Eh!!?"
-
- That mysterious voice is Chopper, that is captive outside the cage (in the giant wood table). Zoro releases him and Chopper crying hugs Nami.
Chopper: "Waaaaaa~~~h!!! Everyone~~~!!! I'm so glad you guys found me~~~"
Nami: "Chopper you poor thing, it's alright now ♡"
Chopper: "My collar was so hard I couldn't get it off. I really thought this is the end for me~~~!!"
Nami: "Now you owe me one."
Chopper: "Huh...!?"
Usopp: "Nami, you were crying yourself not so long ago!!"
Usopp and Zoro examine all the stuff in the table. Luffy does the same in the floor.
Zoro: "A room built for giants... but with human size clothing..!! I suppose it's like changing clothes for dolls, huh?"
Usopp: "Makes me wonder if that "Sun God" is a really delicate person..."
Luffy: "This room is full of that blocks!!"
Sanji: "Yeah, this land is full of them.
The reason the smell was unbearable when we roasted the rabbit, was due to all the synthetic resin burning with it."
- Straw Hat crew look around and Sanji assumes that giant room is the "Sun God's Temple". Zoro says people in costume that live in diorama town are like pet for "Sun God" to observe them via glass.
- Suddenly 2 new giant animal appear in the giant room: "Hilmungandr" (a giant snake, its name is based
on the World Serpent "Jörmungandr" in Norse mythology) and "Muginn" (a giant raven with a skull on its head, its name is a mix of "Muninn" and "Huginn", Odin's ravens in Norse mythology).
- Luffy and the other fight against them, wrecking stuff of the room and making room catch fire.
- Cut to the outside the room, we see that "Sun God" is walking down a corridor towards the room (room door has a "Z" symbol).
- "Sun God" is a giant far larger than any normal giant we saw so far (except Oars) but we can't see yet if "Sun God" is a man or a woman. "Sun God" is a slim giant that wears a black long tunic and a deer skull (with big antlers and mane) that covers his/her face. And "Sun God" has a staff and a shield with Sun symbol.
- "Sun God" notices that smoke and noise are coming from the room, so "Sun God" enters the room and is shocked to see Luffy destroying it while they are fighting the animals.
- Luffy is using Gear 5 and laughing in the middle of fire that is burning the room. Then he uses "Gomu Gomu no Dawn Pistol" to defeat the giant snake. On the other hand, Zoro defeats giant crow.
- Then Straw Hat crew enters into the diorama to evade "Sun God" and they encounter again "Iskat" (giant cat they defeated in the castle). Iskat is very angry but they hit Iskat's head and get on it while Nami shows them a map she found.
Chopper: "The cat said "I will remember this!!"."
Nami: "Okay!! But more importantly, look.
We didn't get what we were looking for... but we did find the blueprint of this land of blocks!!"
Sanji: "In other words... a map!?"
Zoro: "He's coming!!!"
- In the AMAZING final double page of the chapter, we see Straw Hat crew riding Iskat through the diorama town with "Sun God" chasing them. Town people are in shock when they see enraged "Sun God"...
Sun God: "How dare you~~~!!!"
Nami: "Guys get ready!! If we run at a straight line there's another mirror ahead!!
If we destroy it along with the wall, we will be "outside"!!!"
Luffy: "Yes!! Let get out of here!!!"
Town people: "What~~~!? The "Sun God" is furious!!"
Sun God: "You won't get away...!!!"
End of the chapter. NO break next week.
