Loki is perhaps one of the mysterious characters in One Piece. He first appears in the Big Mom flashback as a goofy silhouette in the Whole Cake Island Arc. Ever since then, fans not have only waited to step on the homeland of the Giants but also to meet their prince. As Elbaf Arc is on the way in the manga, Erichi Oda has finally introduced his fans to Loki with an incredible and surprising design.
In Chapter 1130 of the One Piece manga, Loki, the prince of Elbaf, reappears after ten years in the series as a criminal. He killed his father, King Harald, for the legendary Devil Fruit had been passed down in the Elbaf Royal Line from generation to generation. After he went rogue and caused trouble for others, all the Giant Warriors came together to capture him. He was then chained up near the Yggdrasil tree.
If you want to learn more about the accursed prince of Elbaf, what his devil fruit’s powers are, and more, let’s find out everything here.
Loki, The Accursed Prince Of Elbaf
Undoubtedly, Loki is one of the most hyped about One Piece characters. He is the second-born son of Harald, the King of the Warlord Kingdom. So, this makes Loki the younger brother of Hajrundin, a major captain of one of the Straw Hat Grant Fleets. While we expected Loki to have a jovial design like the other Giants in the series, Oda took a different route and gave the prince a more menacing look.
His character design was nothing like the one Oda introduced to fans back in the Whole Cake Island Arc. He appears to be a reincarnation of pure evil. However, it is unsure whether the accursed prince would cause trouble for Straw Hats and make their journey to Elbaf a living hell. But given what he said at the end of Chapter 1130, Loki will surely be the antagonist of this arc.
I am Sun God Who Brings The World To The End.
Initially, Loki is regarded as the “Shame of Elbaf” by the Giants, and it is revealed that he fell in love with Charlotte Lola, ultimately orchestrating a political marriage with the Big Mom family. However, the situation changed ten years later, as Loki was now known as the accursed prince who killed his father. In the finale of Chapter 1130 of One Piece, Loki revealed something that caused a stir in the fandom. If you are wondering why his reputation suddenly changed from the good guy to the bad, it has something to do with avarice for power.
During Big Mom’s flashback in the Whole Cake Island Arc, Loki seems genuinely in love with Charlotte Lola and wants to marry her even if it means keeping their difference aside. However, after Liola ran away from the marriage, Big Mom tried to hide by putting another daughter in place of Lola to marry Loki. Giants discovered Big Mom’s intention anyway, they put an end to the talk and become enemies again.
Loki’s character design is one of the best in the series, giving off the vibe of an antagonist.
Why The Prince Of Elbaf Is Chained Right Now?
Chapter 1130 of One Piece saw Loki in the flesh for the second time ten years after Big Mom’s flashback in the Whole Cake Island Arc. He is one of the most talked-about One Piece characters, and his introduction in the latest chapter as an accursed “Prince Of Elbaf” raises many questions among fans and one of many why he is chained.
Unlike other Giants, Loki is the most dangerous and has committed numerous deplorable acts. He murdered his father, King Harald, only for the sake of obtaining the Devil Fruit that was passed down in the royal line from generation to generation. Loki is violent, insane, and destructive, as he wishes to bring about the end of the world.
According to the Giants, Loki started to commit grievous vile acts (truly living up to his name, God of Mischief). He claimed to be the Sun God and killed his father to obtain the legendary Devil Fruit. When he was going rough and committing crimes, all the Giants came together to capture him. His strength was unmatchable, and it took all the Giants of Elbaf to defeat him.
As a result, Loki was called the greatest “Shame of Elbaf” for his grievous vile crimes and sentenced to be chained up below the giant detention centre a few years ago.
For years, fans expected Loki to be the supporting prince, like Momonosuke from Wano, but Oda opted for an unexpected evil route with the character. Luffy is seen talking with the Prince of Elbaf, who knows whether he will the God of Mischief from the shackles and accidentally kicks off the world end.
At the moment, it is unclear if the prince has the power to destroy the world or if he is just messing with Luffy. He was well-known for deceiving others.
What Is Loki Devil Fruit Prowers?
Loki’s obsession with a legendary devil fruit triggered his downfall, which led to his egotism and maniacal behaviour. The royal family of Elbaf passed down a devil fruit to future generations. However, as the name Loki comes, greediness. So, the prince goes out of his way to kill his father and successfully eat the legendary devil fruit. Oda hasn’t disclosed the details about Loki’s devil in the One Piece manga.
Now that we have a short break before One Piece Chapter 1131 releases, fans are actively sharing their theories on social media platforms regarding Loki’s devil fruit. One such theory is that the “Prince of Elbaf” has eaten the Mythical Zoan devil fruit model: Fenrir. If you aren’t aware, Fenrir is a ghastly wolf from Norse mythology whose sole role is to destroy the world.
In Chapter 1130, Loki claimed himself as a Sun God who would bring the world to an end makes. After looking at his past deeds, it makes sense that Loki may hold the world to bring the world to an end. And how he will do it? By bringing the Ragnarok. Fenrir is a wolf well-known for Ragnarok in mythology. For the time being, fans have to wait for the new chapter.
Is Loki An Ally Or On Enemy?
To create the country Elbaf and its inhabitants, the Giants, Erichi Oda drew inspiration from Viking Age Scandinavia and Norse mythology. The Giants, their weapons, and their houses resembled the stereotypical appearance of Vikings. Thus, making them the perfect characters to play the role of the world’s greatest warriors. At the centre of Elbaf stands a giant tree, which resembles the mythological Norse tree, Yggdrasil.
Likewise, Loki takes his name from the homonymous deity of Norse mythology. According to the legends, Loki is well-known as the “God of Mischief” in many cultures. He has shapeshifting powers and tricks others in his game. Unlike others, Loki is an unpredictable God. His nature changes depending on the source; in some legends, Loki helps the gods; in other tales, he acts maliciously against them.
Given his Norse counterpart, the “Prince of Elbaf” would follow in the footsteps and cause trouble. He already started by killing his father. Moreover, he wants to bring the world to an end.
Some fans claim that Loki’s silhouette appearance in chapter 858 of One Piece with his plain expression, proves something wrong with him. It is too soon to say that for sure, especially as One Piece author Erichi Oda loves to tease and mislead his readers to the red herring. However, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Loki’s eerie grin was, in reality, a comic facial feature.
Loki, like a good-hearted person with a tragic backstory, would be a more Oda-like move.
It must be noted that Loki was sincerely interested in Lola, with whom he fell in love at first sight. Despite knowing she was the daughter of Big Mom, the Giants of Elbaf were ready to accept the marriage.
Had the wedlock been established, the Giants would have ceased their longstanding hatred towards Big Mom, which instead only grew as they found out that she had tried to deceive Loki. This shows that regardless of what kind of person Loki might be, he is highly respected among the Elbaf Giants.
Who Will Free The Prince Of Elbaf?
As explained, Loki, the “Prince of Elbaf,” is chained beneath the ancient tree, Yggdrasil. He is responsible for murdering his father and causing chaos in Elbaf. Because of his horrible deeds, all the Giants of Elbaf came together to capture Loki. After it appeared, fans started questioning who could unchain him. It is one of the most talked-about questions in the fandom, whose answer is all the time in front of us.
The person who most likely frees Loki will be going to none other than Monkey D. Luffy. He had already seen him in the previous chapter, and despite sensing his presence, Luffy remained unfazed. Following witnessing Loki’s nature firsthand, Luffy did not seem on guard or even wary of him. He is confident and considers Loki-friendly. Luffy has no reason not to free Loki, and he will likely be the one who will remove the chains from him.
How Luffy Could Be Free Loki?
Another question fans face from the previous chapter is how Luffy can free Loki. Luffy, the “Emperor of the Sea” and one of the strongest characters in the series, could free the prince from his chains. He possesses Armament and Conqueror Haki, the two most powerful techniques in the series. By channelling the Haki, Luffy could destroy the chain from the inside. If he succeeds, the chain could be destroyed, freeing Loki.
Will The Prince Of Elbaf Take Revenge On Those Who Put Him In Chains?
After being captured and imprisoned by the Giants, the Prince of Elbaf spends most of his time waiting to be freed. Sooner or later, this will come, and Loki will be free after his conversation with Luffy. The Sun God of this generation and the Warrior of Liberation, Luffy, will surely be him.
After all, he is known for doing some hardcore stuff. When the prince is freed from his chains, he may attack Elbaf and try to destroy it. He may bring the Ragnarok to the Elbaf with his devil fruit. When it does happen, fans will see one of the bloody battles of the series.
Animeking: Summary
Loki, the “Prine of Elbaf” and one of the most-talked-about One Piece characters, is the second-born son of King Harald, which makes him the younger brother of Hajrundin, one of the captains of Straw Hat Grand Fleet. He first appeared in the Big Mom flashback during the Whole Cake Island Arc. He appeared as a silhouette who wanted to marry Lola, Big Mom’s daughter.
However, marriage is political, allowing Big Mom to get support from Giants to find One Piece. Despite this, Loki is in love with Lola and falls for her at first sight. Despite, Elbaf Giant’s hatred for Big Mom, they are ready to accept her daughter. However, after they discovered that the prince was deceived by the Big Mom, the hatred toward her only grew.
Loki reappears in Elbaf. Oda finally introduced his fans to the “Prince of Elbaf.” But with a little twist. He was chained below the Yggdrasil tree by the Giants. The reason to capture Loki is because he killed the King to obtain the legendary devil fruit and cause chaos in the Elbaf. For the moment, it wasn’t clear about his devil abilities. However, some theories are going around his devil fruit. One of them is Loki-eaten Logia Type Devil Fruit Model: Fenrir.
If you are unsure, Fenrir is a ghastly wolf from Norse mythology well-known to cause Ragnarok to the world. If it is true, Loki’s last statement makes sense. He is one of the mysterious characters who call himself a Sun God and wants to bring the world to an end.
After this statement, fans wondered who would free them from this chain. He will get freed by the future Pirate King and the Sun God, Luffy.
