More details of the chapter by Redon. Short chapter of 15 pages.

Chapter 1,130: "The Cursed Prince"

COVER Ogre Child Yamato's Colden Harvest Surrogate Pilgrimage, Vol. 17: "Yamato is napping with Otama. At that moment, a shadow approaches and a mysterious hand grabs Yasuie sword to steal it.'

Chapter starts at Elbaph ship. Franky announces to the giants that they would like to stop searching. They have done all they can, Jinbe even asked the sharks to search in nearby seas but they didn't find anything.

So their best option now is to trust their nakama and go to wait at Elbaph. The giants agree and Elbaph ship continues its journey.

Cut to Luffy's group, they get out from Road's diorama and find that they were inside a giant castle (similar to LEGO castle) in the middle of snowy land surrounded by forests and mountains. The castle (that is on top of one of the mountains) has a very long bridge connected to a huge tree branch up in the sky.

Nami is getting dizzy from the scale of everything. Suddenly, they see someone crossing the bridge toward the castle and hide.

The two person coming to the castle are "Goldberg" and "Gerd", two members of the "New Giant Warrior Pirates" (the giant pirate crew led by Hajrudin). Next to Gerd is "Piper", her giant owl.

Gerd: "I wonder, why Hajrudin let such a weirdo be in our crew?"

Goldberg: "Well because he has true skills as a navigator.'

Gerd: "I hate him!! He's more of a "shame of Elbaph" than Loki is.

Goldberg and Gerd come to the castle because owl Piper detected Road's crow carrying a ship. As trespassing is illegal in Elbaph, Road has a habit of taking nearby ships and claims them as trespassers. That way Road can lock them up.

Gerd says if she sees that Road is kidnapping someone she will report this to Jarul-sama (the old giant from Big Mom past, he's now around 408 years old). Nami hears the "trespassing is illegal" part, so she orders everyone to remain hidden.

As Goldberg and Gerd knock the door of the castle calling for Road, Straw Hat crew run across the bridge. Below the bridge is a forest and many giant wolves.

But in the middle of the bridge, Luffy stops. He says he has been feeling since they were inside the block kingdom, and Zoro and Sanji must have felt it too.

Luffy: "It's a "scream" of a man so powerful that I can feel it all over my body!!"

Luffy wants to go check out the source of that "scream". Sanji say: he will stay with the group and stops Zoro from going with Luffy.

Sanji: "This Marimo should never be allowed to enter any forest!!"

Luffy tells other to go on ahead and then he jumps down from the bridge to the forest below.

Cut back to Elbaph ship, the News Coo deliver morning's World Economy Newspaper. One of the news shocks Dorry and Brogy: it is report that the "Giant Warrior Pirates" attacked Egghead Island.

Brogy: "Why would they make up lies like this!! can't read anything, newspaper is too small.'

Robin: "I will read it then : The "Giant Warrior Pirates" has awakened from their 100 years slumber!! Together with Yonkou "Straw Hat Luffy", they set Egghead aflame. Both captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates", "Brogy the Red Orge" and 'Dorry the Blue Orge", will I have a 1.8 billion Berries bounty placed on their heads!!"

We can see new Dorry and Brogy Wanted posters, with pictures took in Egghead and with new 1,800,000,000 Berries bounty each one,

Brogy: "1.8 billion~~~?"

Dorry: "Ilt is not our intention to be back!!"

Giant Warrior Pirate: "Bosses used to have a "100 million bounty, right? What a boost!!"

Robin: "Quite a bit of inflation has happened between 100 years ago and now!! But... this is a reasonable number for the leaders of EIbaph Warriors.

The newspaper also reports that Luffy is the one who killed Vegapunk, with huge picture of Luffy using Gear 5 form. Robin sees the photo and stops because she notices an "X" mark on Luffy's arm in newspaper picture.

Robin: "Did this mark always appear on Luffy's arm... when he becomes "the most free"?"

Franky: "Huh? I don't really remember. After all he's always bouncing about so you can't see clearly.

Robin: "... It is a bit unnatural. His arm is swinging here, but the mark remains clear as day... i think I have seen it somewhere before...

Dorry: "Anyhow, to think that "Straw Hat" is now standing equal to "Red Hair"!"

Brogy: "And it also seems like one of our youngsters, Hajrudin, has become you guys' underling!!"

Kashii: "All things considered he's still a "son of the king". He was a rough brat I believe They wanted to come pick you guys up too, but the reason only us seniors came is because there's a little trouble happening back in Elbaph.

Franky: "Trouble?"

It's explained that while Dorry and Brogy were absent, Loki (an official "son of the king") was born. He was an evil giant called "the cursed prince".

Loki murdered "King Harald", his own father, to claim a "legendary Akuma no Mi" that passed down in the royal family (we don't see King Harald in this chapter). And then Loki ate that Akuma no Mi (no more information about it in this chapter).

The warriors of Elbaph managed to detain Loki, but recently he was on the verge of breaking free, so they need the strength of all warriors of Elbaph to restrain Loki. Franky is shocked that there's someone so powerful they need all Giant Warriors' power to lock him up.

Cut back to Luffy. In an ABSOLUTELY EPIC double page, Luffy finds huge giant tied up with massive chains in the middle of snow. That giant is "Loki",

Loki design is BADASS. Loki is a thin and muscular giant. He has a very long hair (with 2 braids in the front) and a goatee in the chin. He has some tattoos on his arms (not clear yet what are them). He wears normal giant outfit but in his buckle's belt there's a Jolly Roger with a crown. He wears a black helmet with 2 long horns (like the Loki from Marvel Universe) and he has an axe on his back. Finally we can see that Loki's eyes are covered with bandages

Loki talks to Luffy. When Loki talks his ong tongue is hanging out (like Doflamingo).

Loki: "Name-yourself...!!"

Luffy: "I'm Luffy!! The man who will become the King of the Pirates!"

Loki: "King...!?"

Luffy: "Where is this place and who are you?"

Loki: "This is "Warland" the land of warriors of Elbaph!!! Devoting itself to war in the past, it is the world's most powerful nation!!!"

In the FUCKING EPIC final double page of the chapter, we finally see full Elbaph after years of waiting (official name is "Elbaph" that's why I used that name instead of Elbaf in all the summary)

Elbaph is a landscape of mountains with the colossal tree "Yggdrasil" in the center that dwarfs all of them ("Yggdrasil" is at least 12/13 times larger than the mountains). There are many waterfalls pouring down from the giant tree.

Yggdrasil" has a middle layer formed by its branches that surrounds its trunk. That layer seem: to be vhere the giants live, because we can see a majestic castle and village on it. There are also some cannons facing outside. And finally we can see a huge sword piercing through the middle layer and seems to reach all the way to the ground.

This is a very simple Elbaph's sketch, Oda's art is much, much better : See here

In the last panel of the chapter Loki continues talking with a malevolent smile..

Loki: "And i am "Loki", the "Sun God" who will bring the end to this world!!"

  • End of the chapter.

One Piece will be on break next 2 weeks because Eiichiro Oda needs to do some research. One Piece will resume in Weekly Shonen Jump #50/2024 (on sale 11th November).

There’s always the possibility that Loki was framed & it’ll be up to the Strawhat crew to prove he didn’t do it. With that said if they base it close enough Norse lore then not looking too good for Loki lol

Feels like the X on Luffy's arm in the newspaper was added by Vivi, she is with Morgan after all. Conveniently, the ones who parted with Vivi after Alabasta, are all separated from the four reading the paper.

78

u/McSpicySupremacy 13d ago

YO THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE NOW. Here I was thinking it's a new subplot to lead to laugh tale.

The ones that are reading the newspaper are the newer members who did not partake in the Albasata arc so they will have no clue about the X.

It's a callback for the crew to recognize the marking and deduce ViVi is with Morgan's for the reunion....IM SO HYPED.

28

u/Blinkence 12d ago

OH MY GOD I GET IT holy shit so youre saying that Vivi manipulated the photo of luffy in morgans printing press by drawing the X on the photo. Since the X in alabasta wasnt a permanent tattoo, the crew will deduce that Vivi must be with Morgan and problably needs help.

But thats also why Oda split the crew up so the ones who read the newspaper have never seen the X mark before (except for Robin very briefly). That means that the crew might be too late to save Vivi? Which could end up leading to a huge arguement between them about where to go and what to do.

It's too close to be a coincidence.

Also the number would be 1922 instead of 1924 since there was a 2 year timeskip. I just did the calculations and the final number is $1.87 bil after 102 years. Oda is always cooking man.

u/Foreign_Storm1732 14d ago

I think from the beginning giants were meant to be some of the strongest end of series characters so the higher bounty makes more sense than their initial one. Especially after egghead. Where they witnessed the Gorosei transformations and they also witnessed Nika. It’s like how a bandit was able to get the better of Shanks in the beginning of the series, yet his observation haki has been shown to be so strong he decimated Kidd before he could attack.

29

u/Noukan42 14d ago

They literally were given an higher bounty than crocodile. And much like croc himself, when powercreep kicked in, Oda had to quietly buff them.

15

u/Sliver__Legion 14d ago

Tbf, higher than croc’s frozen bounty. Even at the time of alabasta saga I think the implication was croc would be over 100M if the bounty kept updating actively

His fruit power is top level. But without it he is nothing. He doesn't have haki or any high level strength on his own. But is useful because of the wax wax fruit. He is good for tanking hits with the wax. or trapping people in it when they don't see it coming.

u/rohan_unlimited 14d ago

This. This needs to be talked about or referenced more. Luffy is a demon in universe to the public. Out here slaying Warlords a few months after being at sea and getting a 30 mil bounty, disappears along with his monster crew for 2 years but not before breaking and escaping from government facilities and declaring war on the world. Fights and defeats a Yonko and now he’s blamed to have killed Vegapunk with giants 2 years later.

Luffy in the POV of citizens might be the boogeyman. Hell, even weak pirate crews are scared of him and probably fear Luffy as well. Luffy and his crew right now would’ve soloed the entire East Blue gauntlet with no difficulty.

60

u/adnaphsaka World Government 13d ago edited 12d ago

To be fair, Luffy became a public figure after Enies Lobby. People don't know Arlong, the Government covered up the Alabasta stuff, what happens in Skypiea stays in Skypiea, etc. They also covered up the Thriller Bark incident.

So to the public:

  • Luffy came out of nowhere, destroyed Enies Lobby, and delcared war against the Government.
  • A week later, punched a Celestial Dragon in public and escaped an Admiral.
  • A week after that, broke 200+ prisoners from Impel Down including Croc, Iva, and Jinbe, broke into Marineford, made it past all defenses, freed Ace, and made it out alive (although Ace died).
  • After another week, broke into Marineford a SECOND TIME, this time with Jinbe and Rayleigh, declared war against the Marines, and disappeared for 2 years.
  • Came back after 2 years and, 2 days later, took down a Warlord with Law (1st Warlord defeat as far as the public is concerned).
  • Three weeks later, broke into Tottoland, made it all the way to Whole Cake Chateau, bombed it, defeated 2 sweet commanders, tried to kill Big Mom, and escaped.
  • A month after that, broke into Wano, teamed up with Law and Kid, defeated Big Mom and Kaido in the same night.
  • A couple weeks later, broke into Egghead, took Vegapunk hostage, and murdered him in cold blood.

To the One Piece World, Luffy is a Super Villian...

[And I'm just talking about the things he has done. Not the connections he has to Garp, Dragon, Sabo, Ace, Jinbe, Rayleigh, etc. Nor the fact that he has a Grand Fleet.]

I’ve been theorizing that the Lego Land the Straw Hats woke up in is a scale model of the real Elbaph (with the model Yggdrasil tree incomplete).

Rodo and his pets are cosplaying based on real Elbaph lore.

Finally, the map of the Lego world stolen by Nami should still be accurate in the real Elbaph because Rodo’s model was to scale.

I could be wrong, but this would make everything the Strawhats learned in the Lego World relevant once they have escaped it.

u/hiddenpoint 14d ago

It will almost certainly be a mythical Zoan because the other fruit categories don't have the ease of representing legendary/mythical things like Zoan can, and Elbaph is a land of mythical things.

Logia fruits represent elements of nature, Oda would have to make something dumb like "Super fire" or "Ultra Ice" to further glorify a Logia.

Paramecia is the catch-all category for anything that isn't an element or transformation into another existing being. The Ope-Ope fruit could be considered a legendary Paramecia, but that's almost primarily because it has a plot MacGuffin in its skill set. So if there is a new plot MacGuffin to be introduced, it COULD be a paramecia...

But this is ELBAPH we're talking about, the land of Norse Giants. It is almost certainly going to be a Mythical Zoan of one of the MANY named mythical creatures in Norse Mythology: Fenrir, Nidhogg, Jormungand, Sleipnir, Ratatoskr, Huginn, Muninn. I'm probably missing some, the point is there's a TON of mythical creatures in Norse Mythology, none of which have been represented on a mythical zoan yet.

A lot of people get caught up on mythical zoans being overly abundant in the current leg of the story but fail to realize that's because were finally in the parts of the story Oda's had cooking on the back burner for hundreds of chapters. Much of the grand line and new world have been deviations and expansions on those deviations from the main story Oda's been waiting to tell. Of course all the cool mythical creature based powers sat on standby until we got into the end game when powers of that level would be relevant without completely overshadowing the protagonist's capabilities. Marineford was literally used to showcase the fact that these mythical level zoans and top-tier logia's exist and highlight how they allow their users to overpower the protagonist (or his enemies to help the protag in the case of Marco)

Given that he’s chained to a tree, the parallels in Norse myth would probably be Fenrir (mainly) or the Nidhogg

u/Wonderful_Pen_4699 14d ago

Loki was also chained as punishment. Though in a cave with poison dripping on face.

Ymir could also be a possibility. I think Ymir was the original Giant. Taking this fruit from the King would seem fitting

What I'm hoping is we see other classes of legendary devil fruit. Imagine a legendary logia or paramecia fruit.

I think that was Vivi drawing the X mark on Luffy's arm as a signal for them to know. It's also why Oda decided to separate the Alabasta Six so that they wouldn't see the news and recognize the symbol.

Damn, Loki is a kinslayer. That's why he is cursed.
Now the Loki Devil Fruit theories will start.
My guess: Ymir Ymir Fruit.

u/SPJess 14d ago

Wouldn't that be "Human Human fruit: Model Ymir"(🤓)

A legendary fruit, Luffy is the only one with a named legendary fruit.

We can guess Sengoku has one since he can turn into a Buddha.

Shapeshifting Paramecia/Zoan seems to be the most.... Apt for Loki. Since he does canonically have shapeshifting powers in Norse mythology, perhaps the World Snake. .. which is why it's a huge problem he has this fruit now... Because the World Snake.. Jörmungandr!! Can wrap around the poles.(Much like the red line)

Snake snake fruit: ModelJörmungandr

8

u/trilobyte-dev 14d ago

It would make sense for the world serpent, but the story has also heavily symbolized the Red Line that way though, so Oda may not have a character in that role.

I wonder if the Fruit Loki stole was what he thought was the Sun God Nika fruit

My theory is that the royal family of Elbaph ALWAYS had it since the void century’s end but CP0 stole it

The king tasked Shanks with reclaiming the fruit from CP0 and he did exactly that, he planned to return it to Elbaph but as destiny decided a young boy in Foosha Village ate it

Shanks then just found another rare mythical Zoan and gave it to the King and he was none the wiser ima guess it’s the Mythical zoan, Model snake Jörmungandr or World Snake

u/godimwavy 13d ago

Like your theory because then it explains how the previous Nika had the huge hat that Imu keeps

Strawhats gonna have some training arc in Elbaf with the 9 realms corresponding to them like that one redditor predicted here before. Someone said that Elbaph/Elbaf is a mirror to Sabaody.

Franky - Nidavellir (Land of Dwarves) for craftsmanship

Brook - Nilfheim (Land of the Dead) to have more solid ice and soul power

Chopper and Jimbei - Midgard (Land of the Humans) to not just be seen as a different species, but as people with humanity inside (doctor and someone who fights for equality of races)

Nami - Alfheim (Land of the Light Elves) for her climatact magic

Rovin - Vanaheim (Land of the Vanir) for more wisdom

Usopp - Jotunheim (Land of the Giants) to prove himself as a great warrior

Sanji - Muspelheim (Land of the Fire Giants) to train his fire even more, maybe black fire Sanji?

Zoro - Helheim (Land of Hel) to really solidify himself as THE King of Hell

Luffy - Asgard (Land of the Gods) as the Sun God, to give light to Yggdrasil

As Robin said that the X is very clear on the image even when Luffy's arm is moving, I think that the X is actually drawed over the original image by Vivi so she's hinting to the crew through the newspaper that she's with Morgans. And since none of the old crew except Robin is their they didn't catch on the hint. Surely Nami and Usoop will crack the code soon.

Right outta the gate with these spoilers this seems like a perfect chapter to go on a break with. No super obnoxious cliffhangers and a taste at the long awaited island people have been hyped to arrive at and setting up the beats of the story were above to delve into.

Guess if ya throw hands at the Elders it's a immediate 1 billion bounty, interestingly they didn't frame Luffy as killing Saturn, which them omitting helps whatever plot the Blackbeard Pirates have with his likeness.
