Introducing Loki in One Piece Chapter 1130

• Loki is Elbaf's disgrace
• Loki possesses the power of the legendary Devil Fruit

Loki was first brought up in the Whole Cake Island arc when Big Mom retold her rocky relationship with the Giants of Elbaf. It was here that Oda made it clear that the Giants are the strongest and most powerful in the world One Piece the world According to Big Mom, if she could add the power of giant warriors to her already powerful pirate crew, she would be able to defeat all the other Yonko and claim the title of Pirate King. Big Mama is definitely in luck as Loki, Prince of Elbaf, has fallen in love with Lola. The marriage was soon announced, but Lola wanted to marry a man of her own choosing, not under her mother's control. This is why she ended up leaving Totland and looking for her husband herself. This then leads to Lola persistently pursuing certain men such as Absalom, which is an exciting twist to the story.

Regardless, it was disastrous for Big Mom. Her alliance with the Giants fell apart, and even when she tried to promote Chiffon as Lola's replacement, things didn't work out for her. Big Mom and the Giants have witnessed an even more sour relationship since then, and meanwhile, as for Loki, fans never heard from him again, that is until the Elbuff arc.

In One Piece chapter 1130, Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates set foot on the real Elbaf for the first time. After leaving Block City, Luffy and his East Blue recruits, along with Chopper, explored Elbaf's base and decided to go higher. But Luffy immediately felt the presence of a strong man next to him. When he decided to go check it out, the man was revealed to be none other than Loki, the prince of Elbaf, who had been bound and was currently in chains.

Fans got quite a bit of exciting information about Loki in One Piece 1130. The giants found out that Loki is called the Cursed Prince and a disgrace to Elbaf. This may surprise some fans considering many expected him to be on the good side, but it makes sense. After all, Loki is inspired by the God of tricks and mischief. As for Loki from One Piece, fans know that he was born evil and committed all sorts of heinous acts. Eventually, his actions accumulated so much that he was sentenced to crucifixion several years ago. It is unclear exactly what act led to the order for his crucifixion, but it is highly likely that it occurred after Loki targeted the legendary Elbaf Devil Fruit and orchestrated the assassination of King Harald, his own father. Loki managed to kill him and he also successfully completed the task of consuming this devil fruit.

Interestingly, this Devil Fruit is known to be legendary in nature, but Oda has yet to reveal what power it holds. As for Loki, he was opposed by all of Elbaf and was ultimately subdued.

He is now chained in the mountainous region of Elbaf at the base, and the people of Elbaf believe that if Loki is freed again, he will destroy the entire world.

Who will free Loki?

It begs the question of how Loki will escape in the first place. While this is certainly an intriguing question, the answer lies right in front of the fans. The person responsible for freeing Loki will be none other than Luffy. He had already seen him in the previous chapter, and despite the sense of his presence, he is not at all fazed. Even after witnessing Loki's character firsthand, Luffy didn't seem wary or even wary of him. He is quite confident and even smiles at Loki. He sees no reason not to free Loki, and it is very likely that he will remove his chains.

How could Loki be freed

As for how Luffy is going to do this, fans should remember that Luffy is an Advanced Haki user. He can channel both Armament and Conqueror's Haki into things and destroy them from within. If he succeeds in doing so, the chains can potentially be destroyed and Loki can be freed.

What happens after Loki is freed?

Right after that, Loki will unleash his power

Eventually, one way or another, Loki will be freed One Piece. Elbaf's giants believe that the end of the world will come once Loki is freed. However, things could be different because Loki doesn't seem like he's cut out to be the main villain. It is likely that Loki will fight against Luffy in the beginning. After all, Oda gave him a pretty bad reputation. He needs to live up to it so the fans will understand why he is so feared at Elbaf. But Loki also seems flawed in some ways. He considers himself the god of the sun and at the same time claims that the god of the sun is going to destroy the world.

One way or another, Loki will have to realize that he is not the Sun God and that Luffy is the man he thinks he is. If this is indeed the case, then Loki could very well be teaming up with the true Sun God, which is Luffy. It must be remembered that the giants of Elbaf eventually worship the Sun God, and Loki certainly wouldn't be against that. Moreover, there will surely be great enemies in Elbaf for anyone to fight, and this may come in the form of the World Government, specifically Imu, the Sovereign of the World. With big fish to fry, Loki must eventually side with the Straw Hat Pirates and find his side.
