Elbaph’s Most Dangerous SECRET Revealed! (1130)

One Piece chapter 1130 is a pretty good chapter, I like the landscape shot of Elbaph. Dorry and Brogy bounties of 1.8 billion are surprising, and Loki's design is soild.

[@Rubberman202]

Can I just say it's cool to be reminded that Jimbei can talk to and command whale sharks? This hasn't been brought up since Impel Down!

[@Sunaki1000]

Actually I have to correct you on your last observation. In the very last panel someone refered to an earthquake. Based on Lokis legend, he was also chained to a rock, and under certain conditions he caused earthquakes.

[@zhcultivator]

I hope there are Yonko-level Giant characters and Admiral-level Giant Warriors in Elbaf, after all remember that there was a World Military Draft in which Strong Characters like Fujitora and Greenbull were recruited so just like Mihawk* and Figarland Garling, there should be Other** Admiral-tier characters/Yonko-level monstrous characters out there in the One Piece World. Who knows the ''Man marked by Fire'' might one such person, he might be Scopper Gaban who knows........

[@cartoonishidealism582]

My personal take is that it was less about Loki himself and more about… well, freedom. Lola clearly doesn’t have massively high standards when it comes to men, but I think she hated the idea of someone else, even her mother, making that decision FOR HER. That’s why she set out to sea. Like every other pirate, she was looking for freedom. Whoever she chose to marry, it would be her OWN choice.

I like Tekking's idea about the possible misunderstanding of the Devil Fruit that has been passed down in the King's family, which is that it is the actual Gum Gum Fruit, mistaken to be the Nika fruit because of the Nika-like rubber powers given to the user. That actually got a good laugh out of me 😂

Loki being chained might be a hint about his devil fruit being Fenrir, but normal Loki from Norse mythology was also chained after he killed Baldur. A venomous snake was put above his head and it's venom would drop on his eyes torturing him.

[@jotacatalan]

Maybe that's why loki is blindfolded by those bandages

[@DANCERcow]

Both Fenrir and jormungadr(the world serpent) are both of Loki's children. Fenrir would thus make the most sense since Fenrir got too powerful for the gods to handle and had to eventually subdue him with unbreakable chains and a sword through his mouth until Ragnarok inevitably happens once he and Loki are freed! The sword in the tree may be removed like it was from Fenrir to symbolize Ragnarok as the sword is likely holding elbaf together!

[@ScadrianGhostblood]

@@jotacatalan I had the same thought. I have only seen people talk about Fenrir, even though normal Loki went through it. He was even only chained after a bunch of aesir teamed up to capture him, the same way how all giant warriors teamed up

[@ScadrianGhostblood]

@@DANCERcow I personally see the sword as a reference to Surtr and his giant sword

@@NeonRoger interesting his name was Harold, it is akin to Herald, one who announces a new era. His death would set his nation in motion for Ragnarok and The Dawn of the World. I have a feeling Harold neither was crazy or just killed for the devil fruit, I feel like he gave his life

[@NeonRoger]

@@ReiseLukas that's entirely possible. One that's interesting to me is maybe CP0 or the God Knights rolled up to take that fruit, and Loki was blamed which is why he ran away. Loving this arc so far, sadly might be our last true adventure arc...

[@detectivepancakes3095]

Fun fact, in norse myth, after the murder of the god Baldur, which was said to be the inciting incident of Ragnarok, Loki was chained to a boulder with his son's (Narfi) intestines. Personally, I think this is more referencing the Loki imprisonment instead of the Fenrir one. Also I love that he is chained up in a snowy envoiorment, reminiscent of fimbulwinter, the precurser to ragnarok, (or its symbolic of Helheim being at the bottle of the world tree, could be anything, the one thing I know for certain, When Ragnarok begins and the Galarhorn is blow, all chains shall loosen, freeing all, including the titanic sun god)

Loki strikes more fear to me than Kaido did when we first saw him, like Loki just feels and looks like a force of nature with the craziness of Doflamingo and the willpower of Luffy/Blackbeard. He literally has the aura of an Elden Ring boss like Radahn or Malenia.

Loki is introduced in the exact same way as Zoro and Jinbei... Villain or future strawhat? I have a feeling we might be up for one of the most tragic backstories in One Piece either way.

Glad someone else saw it too

[@ΚρανίΩ]

i mean yea sure but he also packed his dad to get a devil fruit, not only that but he said he wants to destroy the world, zoro and jimbei did not say anything that suspiciously dangerous. also who killed someone he was close to for power... thats right, blackbeard

Finally, a video where you say "lets get back to you me" and you actually respond "thanks me"

[@PhiLoS021]

6:18 in addition to narrative role of Dorry and Broggy, there's the storyline aspect whereby they have been actively dueling twice per day for a 100 years. Not just sparring, but engaged in mortal kombat. Their weapons, as well as their physical capabilities, were quite worn off by then... and that's precisely what The Straw Hats (mainly Usopp) found to be so majestic about them - their spirit to battle despite the circumstances.

[@MisterPrince01]

What a fantastic introduction to Loki. He instantly has that "aura" that tells you he's a big deal. Amazing design too. Oda cooked.

[@klekampc]

This chapter got me more excited than any other chapter in a long time. I have enjoyed recent chapters a lot and yes, it’s filled with weakly contrived plot points (the crew separation, the giants and strawhats missing each other on the bridge, etc.) but it sets up so many major things I’m shaking with excitement.

[@greedywombat6960]

The thing about Loki that scares me the most is his response to Luffy's "I'm going to be king of the pirates." The speech bubble with only the word "king" after it being revealed that he killed his father king Harold just oozes malice and bloodlust to me

[@ΚρανίΩ]

also maybe the fact that he's chained up, blind, powerless and it still feels like he could fight luffy without getting outclassed, somehow. and for the fact that he said i'll bring destruction like bro what. he has some A U R A and i mean scary ahh A U R A

[@Anshelm77]

14:14 If Elbaph legends say that the Sun God will destroy the world, there could be a little Surtr in the mix.

[@infinityawesome8715]

That huge sword could be Surtur's

[@machomachoduck2096]

@@ZeptoZeno Lævateinn is the same as Surtr’s sword. There’s also a theory that it’s not a sword at all, but rather a magic wand or a staff. Either way, it’s not created by Loki but by Völund whom was also known as Loptr, the same as Loki, because of his ability to fly.

[@SamTheGumMan117]

I'm so happy and relieved that Oda didn't make Loki look goofy, but the way he looks rn is so badass and wicked sick so much drip in Elbaf. Not to mention that picture of the X on Luffy's arm way to go Vivi and cool to see Gerd again plus new giant bounties literally 😅

[@foedvd]

I feel like the reason this arc is so important is because of your ambitions, the whole concept of the cat turning into a Lion makes sense why Loki says he’s the Sun God. He probably ate the Gum-Gum fruit and matched his strength to all the stories passed down especially since his the Kings son.

[@nothingToReadHere1]

Loki's straw hat shaped helmet just makes him seem super important for the story.

[@joaquinnorman9087]

My initial reaction when hearing about Loki’s ‘heirloom’ devil fruit, was that he’s referring to the Nika fruit, as he calls himself the sun god. It also makes sense that that’s why Shanks specifically was the one to steal it from the navy, so he could perhaps take it back to elbaph.

[@jimhellesen3175]

the big sword is probably surtr sword or a reference 9:06

[@goldenhowlxd9554]

Naa Oda’s art has improved sooo much since the start of one piece, the Loki panel was insane

[@TheGibber]

Sure, there's a similarity to Fenrir of norse mythology, but I think the resemble to Loki is more striking: His punishment for killing Baldr was being tied to rock and have snake venom dripped in his eyes until the end of the world. Between the chains and gauze around the eyes, I think that's more likely to be design inspiration.

[@DANCERcow]

You are right about that but his fruit is likely Fenrir given how important Fenrir(Loki's son) yes the giant wolf, was to causing Ragnarok and being chained by unbreakable chains too.

[@ΚρανίΩ]

exactly what i've been saying, idk what the fruit is, but if he has sum like the fenrir fruit, surtur fruit, sun fruit or skoll ( i think thats how its spelt) or jormungadr fruit he will be op asf. at the moment i see him being stronger than kaido as a strong possibility

[@Notme-cp5ck]

MY THEORY: Loki joins crew. Reasoning: chained and needs to be freed “Destroy the world” change the system He’s probably a free spirit and is gonna be tamed by luffy. I think ragnarok and bringing the dawn are the same thing. Loki could’ve been tricked (irony) and portrayed as the person who killed his family, in Oda fashion.

[@gillett5565]

Loki has more similarities to doflamingo than just the tongue and smile. Loki is chained up and last time we saw, doflamingo is wrapped in chains, we haven’t seen any other level 6 prisioner kept this way so maybe that’s relevant.

[@KolbyMcCoy]

Loki was strong enough to take on the giants all alone by himself for days do you know how crazy strong do you have to be for that? Imagine his Haki must be off the shorts🤯

[@ianordonez860]

i know that there is more to Loki and the story behind him. but the fact that luffy does not detect any "bad vibes" from him confirms it for me.

[@AceAlbatros]

Something I noticed with Elbaph’s tree is we only see two layers and one with a giant sword spanning almost the entire showing tree. They did say it has to be thousands of years old. With the sinking of the world I bet there are multiple layers below the sea and old giant villages. Probably the ancient giants like you said. And would make sense if the base just keeps getting wider which it seems it does.

[@lissy3610]

would be interesting if the lower layers sunk underwater and that's why most of the ancient giants were hunted and wiped out. kinda sad too :(

[@ΚρανίΩ]

yggdrasil is kinda built like that, it has a bottom layer with like 5 worlds, a mid layer with another 3 and the top layer which only has one : asgard. main mid layer: midgard.

[@mgayohai]

In one norse legend (basically loki's final one), he was bound to a bolder with a venomous snake above him dripping poison upon his face, while his wife was holding a bowl trying to prevent the poison from hitting loki. And whenever she emptied the bowl the poison would hit loki causing him to writhe in pain causing the earth to shake. And it is said he will be freed during Ragnarok. So I think loki depiction follows more closely to this legend.
