Loki has not only Doflamingo parallels, but also Kaido. Both Kaido and he said that they want to bring the biggest war ever to the world! Also, interesting thing.

Looking at life’s chaos and choosing to see personal freedom and support others’ freedom versus seeing chaos and choosing to control others as a means to feel personal validation and force “unity” (selfishly) is a theme and battle that’s deeply woven into One Piece. The perceived villains are always forcing an idea of freedom that makes them feel powerful or safe, but the heroes we love are free in a way that doesn’t restrict others; also, they empower others to choose their own way.

I think Tekking and Brago hit it on the nose and I hope they're right: the fruit passed down in Loki's family is accidentally the real Gum Gum Fruit, but the giants are mistaking its power for the unawakened Nika Fruit. This is possible because neither fruit is in the encyclopedia and that could very well be the case because the Nika Fruit would be scrubbed out from history by the government altogether, and if the Gum Gum Fruit never leaves the country under the pretense that it's the Nika Fruit and THEY'D want to keep the world from pursuing it, then they'd have no written records of it either, or at the very least outside of Elbaf. Now if this is the case, it raises a couple huge questions: how did the fruits get mixed up, and did Shanks know about the switch up, so that's why he pursued it specifically upon it's capture by the government? And then was he planning to keep it for himself or return it to Elbaf? Ughhh I need to know.

the subtle nods to Loki's actual mythology in Loki's character design are going crazy for me - the doflamingo-esque wrapping on his eyes (which could be a nod to his imprisonment for killing baldur, with the snake secreting venom from its fangs onto his face) and the horns on his helmet being a little nod to the marvel design. Him embracing his destiny to destroy the world (fate and prophecy being a major component of mythologies as a whole, but also taking the spotlight in the giants' culture as well -- like a character that's always there but can't be moved until they decide to make that move themselves) (also the sun god's conflict will be put in centerplace for this arc, having him clash with Luffy-Joyboy when that happens). I'm curious as to whether Oda is gonna have separate characters for his offspring like Jormungandr and Fenrir, or will he make a three-transformation mythical zoan fruit for that representation. It also begs the question as to whether Oda brings back the multi-arc sagas like alabasta and east blue, or will he go the Egghead route and incorporate more of the real world happenings while Elbaph is going on, because that island is HUUUUUUUUUGE--! Either way, I can see why he's taking the two weeks to research and regroup, he's gonna pop off this arc!

I really like the theory that Loki has the Fenrir Fruit. Fenrir is the wolf that chases the sun and eventually swallows it, which is what starts Ragnarok. I see a false sun god, chasing glory he can never attain is a great metaphor for him, assuming hes the villain of the arc. I also love that Loki was set to be executed by crucifixion, since Odin crucified homself to the World Tree to gain his tremendous knowledge, so having the reference and inversion of that is very interesting for Loki's character.

I think Loki has the Jormungandr Fruit (World Serpent) • Jormungandr is a son of Loki that holds the world in place by wrapping itself around the world and biting its tail and when Jormungandr is released Ragnarok (the end of the world) begins. • When Jormungandr is released, it causes mighty waves, flooding the lands during Ragnarok. • In chapter 129, Dorry and Brogy mentioned the 'Greatest Serpent' as the only thing that can withstand their attack. How would they know unless they had tried? • The fruit that was passed on for generations in the Royal family is the Mythical Zoan Jormungandr. Loki stole the fruit cause he had ambitions to change the world for good by causing Ragnarok (the end of the world). • During Nolands flashback, in chapter 287 Kashigami the giant snake was called the 'God of Sun'. This could be the reason why Loki thinks he's the Sun God. • The Sun will bring forth a new dawn by ending the world of darkness. Maybe Loki wants to end the world of darkness and bring the Dawn, that's why he's calling himself the Sun God. • Loki and Snakes: In Norse mythology, Loki was punished by being bound in a cave to suffer snake venom dripping onto his face until Ragnarok. In the manga, Loki has his tongue out like a snake. • Loki the serpent stealing a forbidden fruit on the Adam Tree (Yggdrasil) kind of like the Serpent in the Garden of Eden. • In Norse Mythology, when Loki writhes in pain it causes earthquakes. In chapter 1130 Luffy hears a 'roar' noise and the bridge shakes. Maybe that was Loki suffering his punishment. • What we know for sure is; 1. The Devil Fruit is very powerful. 2. It has been in Elbaph for centuries. 3. It can cause the end of the world. 4. There's a Great Serpent in Elbaph that even Dorry and Broggy combined can't damage.

What I like about the giants reaction to their new bounties is that we get yet another viewpoint on bounty increases. For the monster trio it's obviously a reason to celebrate, while someone like Ussop gives us more of the perspective of someone that is afraid of the additional attention he might get from the marines etc. People looking at it from the outside like Coby or sakazuki are worried for a friend or furious respectively. And the giants gave me the impression that it's just more of a nuisance. They don't seem to really care about the number, but more about the fact that people are reminded they are still around. That makes it much harder to peacefully fight for life and death in their little garden.

I hope Loki won't be an antagonist but an ally. I love his design too much+ it would be great to have an ally who's a bit "crazy" . He and Luffy would make a great duo. It's weird but Loki appears very early in front of Luffy to be the antagonist (even Kaido was +10 chapters after Luffy arrived on Wano). Usually when Luffy interacts with the first inhabitant of the island, he turns out to be an ally. It's possible that what the giants say about Loki turns out to be false, that there's been a misunderstanding about the king's death and murder, and that the giants think it's Loki when in fact he's innocent. And let's not forget that there's a mysterious figure waiting for the SHs who's hostile/aggressive towards the crew, perhaps he's the king's real murderer and has managed to make the giants believe it's Loki. Loki's introduction is very similar to that of Zoro. What if Loki only wanted to destroy the world to bring dawn? I could well be wrong, and Loki is indeed a psychopath who must be stopped.

One thing I recently learnt is that Jormungandr is pronounced and spelled as Yorumungando in Japanese. Which contains Yoru which means night in japanese. The snake that the strawhat fought at the beginning of elbaph is called Hilmungardr which is contains hiru which means day. Therefore, the red line which is was called something along the lines of a bloody snake at some point is the one piece version of Jormungandr. By take down the red line, aka the yoru(night)mungandr, luffy will bring upon the dawn which will start ragnarok.

The only thing I could think of at the moment are those shadow beings from Thriller Bark who if I recalled towered over Thriller Bark itself. Those giant angels we saw that were just shadows in the past may be more to scale to something that actually exists or existed in the world and that is wild.

I think Vivi had Morgans print an "X" on Luffy's arm to show she's alive. And I think adding the detail that his arm is blurry but not the "X" is Oda hinting at that. I love Loki's design. I think the bandages on his eyes reference the myth of Loki being chained to a rock and having a snake drip venom into his eyes. It’s also reminiscent of Odin sacrificing his eye and then hanging himself for 9 days on the tree Yggdrasil for knowledge. Also, did we know Hajrudin was a prince of Elbaph? I would say that we now know that it's spelled Elbaph, not Elbaf. But the scans noted that this is Jump editorial and not something drawn by art himself.

I think oda's putting Loki, the Norse god of mischief against GOD USOPP, our favorite Liar. Don't know when or how, but it just fits so great with his dream with being a great warrior of the sea

The way Loki is all chained up makes me wonder if the fruit he ate is related to Fenrir who in mythology is Loki's son. Who is a giant wolf who was eventually chained up.

Fun fact: the Loki from the marvel series LOKI, has an id number of L1130, the same as the chapter number.

I love the comment section conversation that I've read: "- He's a lot slimmer, than we've seen him in Big Mom flashback. - Being chained to a tree changes people"

Roado was probably role playing as loki in his world that might be a hint for loki in some way

Looks to me like the Sunny was flown to Elbaph, not another ship. Flying would be faster than sailing, so that tracks as well. Brook mentioning the X looks familiar is interesting, I wonder if that will be further explained? Did they see it on the Iron Giant, or did he see it in another context long ago? Loki is… he's scary. He looks incredible and imposing and dangerous. Excellent interpretation with the artwork. Luffy is totally going to release him, isn't he? What legendary fruit does he have? I think Fenrir makes sense, given the mention earlier of that area being full of wolves. I've also seen mention of the _actual_ gum gum fruit, that would be interesting.

what fruit do you think Loki has? Maybe he has the dog-dog fruit model: Fenrir Fenrir was chained up and is prophesied to be a major part of Ragnarok - also fenrir has a connection to Loki being his child

I'm looking forward to your Elbaph summary told with topiary. Only about a year or two away, I'd say

So when it comes to how the Alabasta Crew got to Elbaph so much faster it's because Rodo's Crows picked up the Sunny and took it along. While sailing it might take a few days, flying it would likely take no time at all!

I've seen a theory that I really like that Enel will show up this arc as a true god of thunder and bring ragnarok with him

I get more of a relationship between Loki and Kaido concerning bloodlust. Yes, Loki does have Doflamingo vibes, but given how we do not know the true fates of Big Mom and Kaido and knowing Big Mom's ties to Elbaph, I would like to think of Ragnarok as a revenge arc for these respective characters. Another prison break of sorts needs to occur at Impel Down first before Doflamingo gets back into the story.

I could actually see Rodo taking some of Loki's power, even perhaps becoming the "second Loki" you said Doffy would be. His own crew compared him to Loki as well after all.
