One Piece: Who Is Hajrudin?

The latest chapter of One Piece introduced Loki, the “Prince of Elbaf,” and mentioned Hajrudin, the first-born son of the King, Harald. He is one of the captains of Straw Hat Grand Feet, introduced in the Dressrosa Arc as one of the competitors for Mera Mera no Mi devil fruit. However, after being defeated by Luffy and understanding the madness of Doflamingo, he decides to join Straw Hats and become one of the allies, helping him to find One Piece.

Before joining them, Hajrudin worked for The Donquixote Pirates, helping them in their actions.

He is perhaps one of the least talked-about One Piece characters despite being the first-born son of the King, Harald. After Dorry and Brogy went to the Little Garden to settle their feud with a duel, Hajrudin decided to run his pirate crew, The New Giant Warrior. His crew consist of 5 members, including Stansen, Road, Goldberg, and Gerd.

Perhaps they are small in number, but all are Giants, making them an unstoppable force.

After several chapters in the manga, Hajrudin is referenced in the story, highlighting Oda’s foreshadowing. He makes things clear that the captain of the New Giants Warrior would help Luffy in the Elbaf. There is also a possibility that the Giants would team up with Luffy and the Straw Hats to defeat Loki, the “Prince of Elbaf.” After all, he killed their king and stole the legendary devil fruit.

The devil’s fruit is not meant for Loki but for the future generation. It also mentioned that the fruit might bring the world to an end. It is not mentioned in the manga, but the possibility is that Loki now holds the power of destruction.

Hajrudin’s Origin In One Piece

As mentioned, Hajrudin is one of the captains of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet and leader of the New Giants Warrior Pirate. He is the son of King Harald and the older brother of Loki, the “Prince of Elbaf.” He first appeared during the Dressrosa Arc as one of the participants in the tournament held by the Donquixote Pirates.

The purpose of this tournament is for the participants to choose to kill Doflamingo or a list of people, including Rebecca, Sabo, and the Straw Hats. The winner will get Mera Mera no Mi devil (a flame Logia fruit).

Unlike Loki, his character design is more jolly. He is one of the fan-favourite One Piece characters. He was the second Giant after Dorry to fight with Luffy and get defeated. However, after tasting the defeat and understanding Luffy, Hajrudin decides to help Straw Hats defeat Doflamingo, and he later becomes one of his allies.

Initially, Hajrudi is regarded as one of the strongest characters in One Piece, and it is revealed that he started the New Giants Warrior Pirates only after Dorry and Borgy went to the Little Garden to settle their feud by dual. However, the situation was tense after the death of King Harald, as Loki killed his father to obtain the Elbaf’s legendary devil fruit.

In the finale of Chapter 113- of One Piece, Giants revealed something about Hajrudin that caused a stir in the fandom. Moreover, his entry into the Elbaf is highly possible due to the involvement of Straw Hats. Fans may witness the battle between the Straw Hats and Giants against Loki, the “Prince of Elbaf.”

During the Dressrosa Arc, Hajrudin genuinely loved teaming up with the Straw Hats to defeat Doflamingo. He even considers Luffy to be the perfect candidate for the title of Pirate King.

Hajrudin Brother Is None Other Than Loki, The “Prine Of Elbaf”

In One Piece Chapter 1130, the manga revealed that Hajrudin, one of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet captains, is the brother of Loki and the son of King Harald. It was a big surprise for the fans since, in the Dressrosa Arc, Luffy punched and knocked him. Given his stature as a “Prince of Elbaf,” hitting him would cause massive trouble. However, it never happened, and he then joined the Straw Hats and became one of their allies. He even promised to make Luffy “Pirate King.”

After the departure of Dorry and Brogy to the Little Garden for centuries, Hajrudin took the mentor in his hand and started the “New Giants Warrior Pirate.” He is the captain of the “Giants Warrior Pirate”, which consists of four members, including him.

When Loki killed King Harald, Hajrudin came as it was his duty to protect the nation from the threat. He and other Giants came together to capture the “Prince of Elbaf.” Without the joint strength, they wouldn’t be able to capture Loki. The devil fruit he ate was considered one of the strongest in the One Piece. Oda didn’t reveal much information about the devil fruit. Given that the fruit was passed down to the generation in the royal bloodline and was eaten by only four Elbaf kings, it strengthens the user. Loki said himself:

I will bring the world to an end.

The statement made by Loki at the end of chapter 1130 makes more sense if he ate the powerful devil fruit. According to a theory, Luffy has eaten a Zoan-type devil Fruit Model: Fenrir. If you do not know, Fenrir is a legendary creature from Norse mythology. It holds world destruction power. If it is true, Hajrudin may have to team with Straw Hats to defeat Loki for one last time.

What Is The Devil Fruit Of Hajrudin?

Unlike other Giants, Hajrudin is considered one of the weakest among them. Despite being from the royal bloodline, he holds zero to less feats. Even his younger brother, Loki, the “Prince of Elbaf,” and the second-born son of the king, Harald, have more feats than him. He killed his father in his kingdom and front of his people. Moreover, he even steals

Elbaf’s legendary devil fruit and eats it, making him one of the strongest One Piece characters.
Comparing Loki, Hajrudin stands nowhere in the series. He cannot able to withstand the base Luffy during the Dressrosa Arc. During the Dressrosa Arc, Monkey D. Luffy defeated him in one punch, later making him one of his grand fleet captains. After his defeat by Luffy, Hajrudin recognizes Luffy’s strength and accepts him as the future Pirate King. He shares sake with him and agrees to help Luffy at every step.

While his younger brother has a devil fruit after killing King Harald, it can only be fair if he had the devil fruit. Since Oda draws inspiration from Loki from Norse mythology, it is possible that Hajrudin would have one in the future. After all, they are brothers. In the Norse mythology, the “God of Mischief” has a brother called Thor. The two are completely different from each other. However, there are things between them that are the same. The two have their weapons. Therefore, after Luffy ate his devil fruit in Elbaf, it was time for Hajrudin to eat one as well.

Is Hajrudin An Ally Or Enemy?

As mentioned, Hajrudin is one of the Straw Hats Grand Fleet captains and the leader of the “New Age Giants Warrior Pirate.” He is the son of the late king, Harald, and the older of Loki, the “Prince of Elbaf,” which also makes him the prince. However, due to his weak stature as a Giant, he was considered not worthy enough to be the next king. Further, he left the nation to lead his pirates to the new world.

The decision came after the previous captains of the “Giant Warrior Pirate,” Dorry and Brogy, went to the Little Garden to settle their age of feud by battling. To make the name of Giants in the new world, Hajrudin led his crew, including Road, Stansen, and Goldberg.

Despite having only four members in the crew, the “New Age Giants Warrior” is considered one of the strongest crew in the One Piece. During the Dressrosa Arc, Hajrudin and others joined the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. The decision came after Usopp saved everyone from Sugar. He was the one who defeated Sugar and saved everyone from her devil fruit abilities. After this incident, Hajrudin promised to help Luffy and his crew whenever they needed him.

In the latest chapter of One Piece, Oda reveals that only Hajrudin agree to help Luffy and become the captain of his Grand Fleet. The remaining Giants agree to follow their captain’s order except Road. He was the one who angered Hajrudin for joining Luffy. He considered them weak and did deserve to be part of the Giants. This led him to leave the crew. Furthermore, in Elbaf, Road, dressed as the Sun God, kidnaps the Straw Hats only to punish them. But it turns the other way when he gets hit by Nami’s lighting attack. Overall, it is safe to say Hajrudin is an ally of Straw Hats.

Can The Captain Of The New Age Giants Warrior Will Defeat Loki, The “Prince Of Elbaf”?

In the latest of One Piece, Oda introduced fans to their beloved character Loki, the “Prince of Elbaf.” He has been one of the most talked-about One Piece characters for years. Loki was last seen in the Big Moom flashback during the Whole Cake Island Arc. He wants to marry her daughter, Lola. Despite being a political marriage, Loki seems to fall in love with Lola at first side. Due to the “Prince of Elbaf” involvement in the marriage, the Giants of Elbaf didn’t have anything to be angry about.

The Giants and Big Mom Pirates never share a good relationship. However, after their prince falls in love with her daughter, they are ready to try it. As expected from Big Mom, when things do not go her way, she tries to hide that her daughter ran away from the marriage. Afterwards, the relationship between Giants and Big Mom Pirates gets even worse.

From there to here, Loki, the “Prince of Elbaf,” reappears after ten years in the series. This time, with a twist, he killed his father to obtain the devil. He had eaten the Elbaf’s legendary devil fruit, passed down to the future generation. After eating the devil’s fruit, Loki starts causing trouble for Elbaf, which is why all the Giants had to come together to capture him. There is a possibility that Hajrudin may appear in the Elbaf to deal with Loki, and he is the one who captured him in the end.

After being freed from his chains, Loki may attempt to destroy the world, beginning with his brother. If that happens, fans may finally see the intense battle between the Giants. But it is also possible Luffy may interfere and help the Giants to defeat Loki. Only time will tell what will happen next.

Hajrudin is one of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet Captains and the leader of the “New Age Giants Warrior Pirate.” He first appeared during the Dressrosa Arc as one of the participants for the Mera Mera no Mi.
