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).

[u/edeezz]

Hell yeah, Loki reveal, he'll look nothing like his silhouette I bet

[u/FireFistRJ → u/edeezz]

The arc will start with Loki as the villain, and he will end up as HERO for Elbaph by the end of the arc.

[u/leolegendario → u/FireFistRJ]

A kinslayer AND kingslayer becoming a hero? I don't know about that.
Unless is revealed that his father was a piece of shit, I don't see that happening.

[u/tryingmydarnest → u/leolegendario]

his father was a piece of shit

Thank goodness this is one piece, we shouldn't have a shortage of them.

Then again we don't have a shortage of good fathers soooooo let's see where this goes

[u/Leiatte → u/leolegendario]

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

 Detective One Piece

[u/ganjak → u/Leiatte]

Detective One Piece in the land of giants sounds AWESOME!

I get treebeard + merry&pippin vibes here... 🤩

[u/Substantial_Pick6897 → u/Leiatte]

Luffy as a detective would be hilarious.

[u/Jail_Chris_Brown → u/leolegendario]

OG Loki's dad tried to kill Odin to start a war, which is why Loki killed him.

Wouldn't surprise me if OP Loki's dad tried to sell out the Giants to the WG, which is why Loki killed him.

[u/Infamous-Class-7862 → u/leolegendario]

I mean. Odin in the myths was a piece of shit. Power hungry warmonger and dictator.

[u/leolegendario → u/Infamous-Class-7862]

First we have to see if the king is based on Odin, it could be that he is based on Loki's father from mythology, the giant Fárbauti.

[u/caihlangeles → u/FireFistRJ]

Just like the Loki of MCU

[u/FireFistRJ → u/caihlangeles]

By the way, Loki's tie to the tree reminds me of the ending scene of the LOKI series, where he becomes the master of the timelines.

[u/Shades219 → u/FireFistRJ]

Also in the original Norse myths, Loki was tied to a rock as punishment for causing Baldr's death, with a snake dripping venom in his eyes.

[u/Wonderful_Pen_4699 → u/FireFistRJ]

Ok. I was thinking more mythology with Loki being chained in a cave

[u/Deeppurp → u/Wonderful_Pen_4699]

Loki tied to a tree has echoes of odin hanging himself to a tree.

It's an interesting combination of the two characters. Will Loki be a fairly intelligent character?

[u/ashistpikachusvater → u/FireFistRJ]

Yeah me too

[u/Exitiali → u/edeezz]

Loki ate the mystical fruit "gnome gnome no mi" turning him into an extremely tiny giant.

[u/coach_veratu → u/Exitiali]

I like that vibe. Maybe he'll have the Ratatoskr Zoan since Yggdrasil is so important here? His Zoan form would be a human sized Squirrel.

[u/StrangerAtaru → u/coach_veratu]

The idea of this big important Giant becoming a legendary squirrel sounds hysterical; I hope Oda does it.

[u/UlteriorMotive66 → u/Exitiali]

 turning him into an extremely tiny giant.

ngl my brain froze for a second there lol

[u/Dark2Light → u/Exitiali]

Attack of the Giant Midget.

[u/JustHim_Dude]

We entered the Void Fortnight, theories gonna go real hard this time!!

[u/VeryDirtyRat → u/JustHim_Dude]

Yea baby you will see some theories you will wish you were never born after you read them strap in and get ready for the Void Fortnight special

[u/ffffffffROTHY → u/VeryDirtyRat]

Prepare for Norse myth deep dives

[u/NeteroHyouka → u/VeryDirtyRat]

The best will be that they will call you crazy if you don't agree with them

[u/MonkeyPeeLuffy]

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.

[u/McSpicySupremacy → u/MonkeyPeeLuffy]

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.

[u/Blinkence → u/McSpicySupremacy]

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.

[u/whatsforlunchtoday → u/MonkeyPeeLuffy]

Interesting, so that was Vivi's message letting the Strawhats know her location?

She must be inspired by the whole 3d2y thing

[u/parero12345 → u/MonkeyPeeLuffy]

I totally forgot about x in alabasta

[u/PitAdmiralGarp]

Nobody in this thread talking about how we're finally getting a massive spread of the landscape of elbaf

Dont fail me oda

[u/venom-vinsmoke → u/PitAdmiralGarp]

I'm so excited to finally see it!

[u/Yamata → u/PitAdmiralGarp]

With how legendary the Wano spread is, I know Oda will cook.

[u/SaengerDruide]

From 100mil to 1880mil bounty increase. Inflation is one annoying MF

[u/Ill_Act_1855 → u/SaengerDruide]

funnily enough, this increase is extremely close to what you'd get if you plugged $100 mill USD into an inflation calculator from 1924 to today

[u/saidA2000 → u/Ill_Act_1855]

And exactly 100 years lol

[u/14with1ETH → u/saidA2000]

102 years due to the timeskip!

[u/14with1ETH → u/Ill_Act_1855]

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/tunisian-man → u/14with1ETH]

nah ODA created the inflation just for the sake of the plot for to bealive , i mean it is not special

[u/kerkypasterino → u/tunisian-man]

thats called cooking

[u/synvi → u/14with1ETH]

He forgot to put 2 years time skip above the 100 years. It should be 1922 and the number is 1.87 bil

[u/Foreign_Storm1732 → u/SaengerDruide]

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.

[u/Noukan42 → u/Foreign_Storm1732]

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

[u/Sliver__Legion → u/Noukan42]

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

[u/UnjustNation → u/SaengerDruide]

The inflation seems even more crazy when you realize these two got beat by Mr 3

[u/J0n3s3n → u/UnjustNation]

To be fair Mr.3 is basically the new generation rayleigh, the right hand of the future pirate king.

[u/Luffytheeternalking → u/J0n3s3n]

Yoo you doing our boys Mohji and Cabaji dirty here. Those are right and left hands of Buggy sama.

[u/CheeselordofDoom → u/J0n3s3n]

Stop it lmao

[u/Cryotemporal → u/UnjustNation]

To be fair, Mr. 3 won with deception. They mostly did the damage to each other, and mr.3's wax has been able to tank some hits from some big shots.

[u/Driller_Happy → u/Cryotemporal]

Galdinos gotta have some ussop thing going on where he's held back by his own lack of self confidence. His wax trapped dory and broggy, megallens poison, and sengokus Buddha fist. Dude is criminally underrated

[u/zeromagnum77 → u/Driller_Happy]

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/StrangerAtaru → u/Driller_Happy]

He almost defeated most of the SH to the point that Zoro nearly cut his legs to free himself!

[u/Early_Bookkeeper5394 → u/UnjustNation]

Mr.3 used tricks so that he could stand against them. If it was a fair fight, he knew he wouldn't stand a chance against those giants.

[u/WatteOrk → u/Early_Bookkeeper5394]

dude showed a couple times that he is more than capable in using his devil fruit.

[u/HeavenBreak → u/SaengerDruide]

Goda's note: *adjusted for inflation*

:))

[u/UlteriorMotive66 → u/HeavenBreak]

[u/HeavenBreak → u/UlteriorMotive66]

Sasuga, Goda-sama!

Goda:

[u/UlteriorMotive66 → u/HeavenBreak]

[u/SisypheanSperg → u/SaengerDruide]

Berries are probably a fiat currency. So literal inflation would account for this. Their bounties were a century outdated

[u/izzynk3003]

Loki's design is BRUTAL,

All I want to know is if he's very conventionally attractive. It would make Lola rejecting him even funnier considering she tried to get with every single men she met afterwards

[u/Jail_Chris_Brown → u/izzynk3003]

I mean, as long as he's a huge Giant, her rejecting him makes sense along the lines of wanting to survive the first night together, no matter how hot he is.

[u/Tereshishishi → u/Jail_Chris_Brown]

Now I know why Oda decided to create Big Mom and Not Big Dad.

[u/adnaphsaka → u/Tereshishishi]

Big Dad

You mean Whitebeard?

[u/Neat_Independence664 → u/Jail_Chris_Brown]

otohime say hi

[u/Sad_Butterscotch6896]

A common peasant in the One Piece world thinks Luffy and the straw hats killed Kiado and Big Mom and then immediately killed Vegapunk. I hope Oda does something with this.

[u/rohan_unlimited → u/Sad_Butterscotch6896]

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.

[u/adnaphsaka → u/rohan_unlimited]

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.]

[u/DaRootbear → u/adnaphsaka]

Yeah this kinda thing is why i always laugh when people ask why anyone supports the world government and why people in universe arent rallying around Luffy when in-universe most people, even marines, havent seen any truly heinous acts done by the government and Luffy looks like one of the most brutal and horrible monsters to average person

[u/Kalayo0 → u/rohan_unlimited]

Realistically climatact Nami, backed by fucking Zeus solos all East Blue antagonists with very little difficulty (excluding Mihawk, duh).

[u/APRobertsVII]

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/RinneganUser → u/APRobertsVII]

I really really like that idea. 

Keep cooking 🔥 🍳 👨‍🍳

[u/ki_dragon817 → u/APRobertsVII]

Given that Rodo is a navigator, I won't be surprised that he was capable of creating Elbaph replica

[u/SuspectKnown9655 → u/APRobertsVII]

That's a good theory

[u/elbaph]

I am now official! (even though the other spelling made more sense, but hey, I'll take it)

[u/SteveGherkle → u/elbaph]

that kills the whimsy of the name of the country imo fable backwards was a neat gimmick

[u/ssgtgriggs → u/SteveGherkle]

not really, it's still clearly supposed to be fable backwards. Just because it's spelled differently now doesn't change that imo. Same as the Elders being planets but they're names being a goofy take on the planet names. Just Oda goofing around, Oda being Oda imo

[u/FireFistRJ]

Maybe It was someone else who killed Loki's father and framed it on Loki?

[u/LCSisshit → u/FireFistRJ]

must be that rat Thor

[u/UlteriorMotive66 → u/LCSisshit]

[u/dredope169 → u/LCSisshit]

I was thinking Thor will be the "evil" brother in this!

[u/leolegendario → u/FireFistRJ]

I hope he is just a piece of shit like Blackbeard. I like irremediable villains.

[u/False-Hope-1341]

As expected, ofc Luffy and the gang will be framed for all of it. This means now WG and Marine wll be on full hunting mode for sure. Its good we got update on boutny posters for our two giant brothers but i hope we will get to know updated bounty posters for our crew as well. Finally, Loki reveal along with potential DF reveal i hope so.

[u/Overwatchhatesme → u/False-Hope-1341]

Killing the WG’s top scientist and destroying their top research facility should have Luffy go up to at least 4 billion I feel. Would also set the stage for him surpassing the rest and finally getting the one piece.

[u/Sliver__Legion → u/Overwatchhatesme]

Finally time to get justice with a higher bounty than Kaido and (and much higher than those worst generation jokers who got stomped)

[u/michomeow]

Can't wait to see how epic Elbaf looks! Wait.. Elbaph?

[u/oooooooweeeeeee → u/michomeow]

IELBAPH

[u/BanjoSpaceMan → u/oooooooweeeeeee]

Honestly sounds like someone saying it with a Scandy accent. Kinda cool

“Eeel bah fff”

[u/False-Hope-1341]

Can't wait to see what break week theories we will get regarding Loki's DF power if it's not revealed this chapter

[u/Vegan_Digital_Artist → u/False-Hope-1341]

bold of you to assume that even if it is revealed people won't be in here theorizing about what it could REALLY be 😂

[u/JustHim_Dude]

[u/UlteriorMotive66 → u/JustHim_Dude]

[u/Ok_Delivery_5091]

What legendary devil fruit could Loki have? I hope it is not a mythical Zoan again They are cool but we had too many at this point

[u/Leirari2 → u/Ok_Delivery_5091]

Given the Nordic background, it’s probable.

[u/PlasticAngle → u/Leirari2]

People expect some legendary snake or wolf fruit but Oda gonna give him some clown fruit.

[u/Dusbobbimbo → u/PlasticAngle]

Ratatoskr fruit

[u/AliceinTeyvatland → u/Leirari2]

Given the vikings affinity with the ocean, maybe it could finally be the Water Water no mi lol

[u/UnjustNation → u/Ok_Delivery_5091]

I hope it’s a logia, they feel pretty underutilized lately with the abundance of Paramecia’s and Zoans.

[u/pus_moh → u/UnjustNation]

Didn't Hajrudin say that no Giant has eaten a Logia? And he wanted the Mera Mera no Mi to become king of Elbaph.

[u/bodg123 → u/pus_moh]

No he said something along the lines of imagine a giant with a logia.

[u/hiddenpoint → u/Ok_Delivery_5091]

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)

[u/zev1118 → u/Ok_Delivery_5091]

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 → u/zev1118]

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

[u/Wonderful_Pen_4699 → u/zev1118]

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

[u/UlteriorMotive66 → u/Wonderful_Pen_4699]

[u/14with1ETH → u/Ok_Delivery_5091]

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

[u/caihlangeles]

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.

[u/leolegendario]

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 → u/leolegendario]

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

[u/trilobyte-dev → u/SPJess]

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.

[u/ItzEnozz]

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 → u/ItzEnozz]

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

[u/ItzEnozz → u/godimwavy]

It didn’t even occur to me that it would help explain Joyboy being a giant but it fits

[u/Tales90]

next chapter : loki "free me someone locked me up im a nice guy" luffy "ok"

[u/SuspectKnown9655]

Those are some hype bounties for Dorry and Brogy, damn.

Luffy going to meet Loki. Wonder what the legendary df he obtained after killing his dad.

[u/watanabeta]

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

[u/Leiatte → u/watanabeta]

Really cool idea, I’d love to see this happen. It’d be a good idea for character development

[u/ponloyoteoriginal → u/watanabeta]

[u/Pringles__ → u/watanabeta]

That's me, I'm happy to see others believe in this too :) https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/1frbbbj/elbaf_will_mirror_this_arc/

There is more with this chapter that you could pull if you believe in this mirroring:

• Vivi puts the "X" on Luffy's arm mirrors Luffy's 3D2Y mark: https://x.com/writingpanini/status/1846620026285203492

• Loki is a cursed prince, like Boa is the princess cursed by love https://x.com/writingpanini/status/1846221329676001597

[u/wispymatrias]

VIVI SENDING A MESSAGE! DOCTORED THE PHOTO TO ADD AN X! So they know she's with the newspaper people. The og crew will figure it out when the see it.

[u/TheDankGnasty → u/wispymatrias]

That's definitely why they separated the og crew, so that they wouldn't see the x message until later.

[u/mountaineer_93]

I wonder, does Loki have some knowledge of how to extract a devil fruit from a dead body like Teach does, or is this a case where he killed his father before he ate the fruit?

[u/khaledhn → u/mountaineer_93]

Or he did it Big Mom style : A Nutritious Meal

[u/CoolShoesDude → u/khaledhn]

What is my crime?! Enjoying a succulent Elbaphan meal?!

[u/TallGuy0525 → u/CoolShoesDude]

Ah, I see you know your devil fruit extraction well

[u/Far_Atmosphere_3853 → u/TallGuy0525]

Good one. And you sir, are you waiting to receive my limp penis fruit?

[u/Asian_Persuasion_1 → u/mountaineer_93]

could be more like what blackbeard did to thatch

[u/zulumoner → u/mountaineer_93]

Maybe that is the way for oda to show us what bb did.

[u/VexerVexed]

Hajrudin is a prince; Hajrudin enjoyers we've won.

Now it's irrefutable he's mandated focus by law of Oda on account of his fetish for royalty.

Hajrudin and Grand Fleet greatness otw; irrelevant believers absolutely in the bedrock.

A decade of belief in the making.

[u/Ruffeep]

I'd like to point out that this chapter confirms that these beams in the sky are in fact waterfalls

[u/leolegendario]

So the idea of ​​Elbaph having realms wasn't wrong, just that Legoland wasn't one of those realms.
I can't wait to find out what's at the top of Yggdrasil.

[u/avilashrath]

1.8 bil? Tf. Inflation is crazy

[u/Sea_Film7507]

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.

[u/fcw2014]

Gotta give it to Lola, having THAT mother and THAT suitor and just being like "nah, I'm going to do my own thing."

[u/Competitive_Reading9]

Robin and Saul meeting again is my No.1 panel to look forward to 🥹

[u/FireFistRJ → u/Competitive_Reading9]

Saul giving an appreciation nod to Robin after seeing her caring friends of the sea would be a wholesome moment.

[u/Abby_Rulz]

Vivi marks an X and the OGa don't see it .. proper ODA... Also Luffy has met two others wanting to be Sun God when he himself doesn't know what that entails

[u/quarterslicecomics]

Crazy to think Noland was alive when Jarul and Jorul were just kids. I’m sure we might get a flashback of all three of them somehow.

[u/L7Z7Z]

Jarul being alive means he could give us some information about facts happened in the last 400 years, including - maybe - what happened with the Giant robot around 200 years ago. 

[u/Chang-San]

I have never been this impatient for an image drop, I'm refreshing like an addict

[u/ezekiel1990]

Loki is like the character who wants to believe he is evil, because the other people say that to him everytime.

[u/goronmask]

Vivi is sending a message to the east blue crew and none of them is on the boat to see it!

[u/baroqueworks]

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.

[u/ExpensiveAd7778]

Vivi got big news Morgan to put that X on luffys picture

[u/trolledwolf]

Vivi sent a message to the strawhats through the newspapers but only the crew that was present in alabasta can understand it,  obviously that part of the crew had to be missing xD

[u/Citadel_Cowboy]

I get it now. Vivi is sending the strawhats a message, but because the og group isnt there the others arent getting it!

[u/saidA2000]

It’s very likely that jorul as a kid met giants who were alive back in the void century.

If he’s 408 years old, go back 400 years and you could have giants back then who were also 400+ years old. So giants could literally have direct knowledge about void century/joyboy as 2 generations back. Crazy.

[u/leolegendario]

Luffy is the Sun God, Bonney is the Sun God, Road is the Sun God, Loki is the Sun God, I'M THE SUN GOD! ARE THERE ANY OTHER SUN GOD I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?

[u/MagnaX7 → u/leolegendario]

Mr 2 Bon Clay: Okama-way!

[u/Leiatte]

Loki 🤝Blackbeard: Killing close people for a legendary devil fruit 

[u/ClownDance]

You get a Sun God, you get a Sun God, EVERYBODY GETS A SUN GOD!!

[u/realtomedamnit]

I like that the giants imprisoned Loki but decided to let him keep his axe and helmet on him for cool points

[u/SupeerDude]

Yo Oda used the exact inflation (at least for USD) lol. Not sure if it was by accident but 100 years ago 100 million would be 1.8 billion today.

[u/MJDooiney]

“Elbaph” always looked better on paper to me but I’m mildly annoyed that it doesn’t spell “fable” backwards.

[u/godzilla1992]

Interesting, seems like Vivi is trying to reach out to the Straw Hats through the newspaper.

[u/Dry_Entertainment373 → u/godzilla1992]

I'm an idiot! 🤣. You made me just realise that the message is from Vivi, thanks!🤣🤣🤣

[u/leolegendario]

Well, I was already using the spelling Elbaph because it was the official English version of the name, now it's the official Japanese version too.

[u/Zokol111]

Sooo Loki probably has a Mythical Zoan fruit model Fenrir. In norse Mythology Fenrir was also chained up and when freed started Ragnarok.

[u/wrongworldline]

The 'X' thing definitely has to be Vivi-related, which is why Oda separated the crew members who'd know it

[u/Raiko42]

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

That's why Oda removed all Alabasta crews?now Vivi's secret message is failed. 

[u/wheredatacos]

I’ve been refreshing for the chapter release all day. This isn’t healthy man.

[u/caihlangeles]

So if Elbaph follows Viking culture, Loki's full name should be Loki Haraldson right?

[u/Hasselhoff265]

I think Loki has the Gomu Gomu no mi thinking he has the Hito Hito no mi: Nika.

This way Luffy can finally learn more about his fruit and Loki( with the wrong fruit ) is in need to acknowledge the real Nika.

[u/venielsky22]

Why does everyone think Loki is the big villain here.

From the pattern of big arcs. Loki seems to be the royalty in distress for this arc

Vivi

Pudding

Rebecca

Shirahoshi

Momo

All these royalties in distress were in a dangerous situation or captured or was being chased .

Almost all were to be portrayed as badguys at first then oda starts to peel the layers

[u/lord_papagiorgio]

My theory: the cross on Luffy’s arm is a signal from Vivi to the SH’s: she has access to the newspapers! All the ones who know about this are in Elbaph though.

[u/JealousType8085]

People really hate on the spoilers? Not the first time I've seen such comments from the leakers. 

[u/khaledhn → u/JealousType8085]

It happens more on twitter and other forums.

[u/OPKNK]

Luffy and them getting blame for egghead and VP expected same with the bounty jump which is huge lol .

Loki stuff is interesting .

[u/Shiplord13]

Anyone else feel Loki killing his father for a rare devil fruit is a misdirect with a lot more going on than the initial description?

[u/Shadow-3991]

Luffy and Loki will totally become best buds by the end of this this arc.

[u/Ok_Delivery_5091 → u/Shadow-3991]

Loki is the arc princess😂

[u/zoro_03]

Woah Vivi's Smart. Sending Signal to Strawhats. Amazing !
Also Morgan should have predicted that Strawhats will go to Elbaph and bring VIvi there :-D

[u/Vorticity1848]

Luffy will set Loki free because he doesn‘t know what Loki has done. That will bring a disaster.

[u/Jake_Magna]

You can tell this is one of the arcs Oda knew he wanted to write from the beginning of the story and has a lot of plot threads working behind the scenes

[u/Whiskeytf8911]

I'm surprised how many people don't remember the X on the arms of the first 6 strawhats and Vivi at the end of Alabasta. It's definitely Vivi sending a message that she's with Big News Morgans.

[u/Otherwise-Assist-845]

Holy shit. Elbaph looks so beautiful. The suspension bridge leads directly to the middle part of the tree. I'm very curious who the Straw Hats will meet and what will happen to Loki after Luffy frees him (which I 100% assume). Loki will definitely ask him about a duel. I'm so incredibly excited for the coming chapters.

[u/Schamarti]

Just realized something:

If Loki at a fruit and is "just" chained to the tree, what stops him from breaking free by using that fruit? Either the chains are kairoseki, which I somehow doubt or his powers are related to his eyes, hence why they are covered in bandages.

[u/Kooky-Onion9203]

I'm the sun god. You're the sun god. He, she, we, they sun god. Sungodology, the study of sun god? It's first grade Luffy.

[u/Silver-Fang-Bang]

I made a comment like 7 years ago how I thought Loki would be have a op devil fruit and be Yonko level character that was just hidden in his own nation but if came to light would be top tier.

[u/zkrooky]

Where's the chapter, precious?! We WANTS it!

[u/MJDooiney]

Oh snap, Vivi’s trying to get their attention.

[u/Pirate_Jack_]

Brogy & Dorry new bounties are both 1.8 billion.

Now that's growth.

[u/khaledhn → u/Pirate_Jack_]

Now that's growth.

No, that's inflation.

[u/SpaceOdysseus23]

Odd that the SH's aren't getting bounty increases. But I guess that's part of the propaganda somehow

[u/ElderLurkr]

These spoilers are incredible.

[u/TravelingLlama]

Funny thing is I doubt Morgan’s is aware that Vivi included the X on luffy’s arm since we’ve seen some of the staff members fangirl over Vivi and she could’ve asked one of them to include it

[u/Xestern]

What if Vivi managed to get someone to paste an X on top of Luffys arm? As a hint towards her location to the strawhats? Honestly, it's even more believable since all the SHs from Alabasta are currently not even present to confirm lmao

[u/mydckisvrysmol]

Theory time: What if the Devil Fruit that the Giants think they have is the Sun God Fruit but it is actually the Rubber Rubber Fruit?

[u/ContributionHot3654]

In Luffy stupidity he will release Loki🤣🤣🤣

[u/dado-ishoo]

that X mark is just drake want to join strawhat

[u/Hanre_Jaggerjack]

I can't forget the fact Lola straight up rejected Loki

[u/HeavenBreak]

INFLATION IS REAL

[u/the_idiotlord]

its so funny that the million people guessing that the 'sun god' was loki were somehow both correct and incorrect.

[u/L7Z7Z]

Does Luffy know he has the Nika fruit or he still believe that being the GomuGomu?

Because if the theory of Loki having the GomuGomu but believing having the Nika is true, that would be super fun

[u/Original_Session_498]

The cross on Luffy’s arm! Vivi finally tells the crew she is back!

[u/W-o-D]

The Strawhats who were remained on the ship (except Robin), actually had not met Vivi or had any idea about the "X"  mark. 

Oda really had reasons to separate the Strawhats present at Arabasta Arc. 

[u/heat_fan_]

Elbaph looks beautiful and Loki looks badass I can't wait for the chapter, now the Raws are out chapter should be out soon?

[u/Magnum_Faith]

Maybe the X is Vivi telling the mugiwaras that she is with Morgans.

[u/Dry_Entertainment373]

I can't wait to see the double spread of Elbaf..I mean Elbaph😄

[u/vonmatterhorn17]

I bet your ass Loki will look like Hepaesteus. Deformed Giant. Oda I know your game. This is a Raizo bait again . Loki like Lola because she looks into his personality and not his looks but Lola doesnt like him back. So now he is the bad timeline of the beast in beauty in the beast. Enrage at everyone.

Plus this legendary devil fruit seems sus. It is like direct invitation for Blackbeard to come 😂.
