One Piece 1131: Besties

[@trashman1605]

Brook being the one to cut Robin's hair is such a nice touch because he's keeping his afro intact so laboon can recognize him.

[@bluetiger422]

Oh wow, what a great catch. I was thinking it was Brooke because he was with Robin when she accepted the devil part of herself. Now I love the scene even more.

I feel like I saw this comment word for word on another KZbin video 😂

[@trashman1605]

@mushroomloudcloud there's like a trillion one piece fan out there so I'm not surprised lol

[@Krlytz]

I actually think that Loki wasn't being honest when he called Shanks a "coward", but that he intentionally used that word because he wanted to see how Luffy reacted, maybe judge if he was friend or foe. He just wasn't expecting the little gremlin to instantly go berserk and try to punch him for it 😂

My favourite part of the chapter is when Zoro said it was Cuttin time and he cut all over the place

[@shawnshock8651]

A common theory to explain Lokis disdain of Shanks is that he was the one who actually chained Loki up. It make another good parallel to him and luffy that being both thier lives being massively changed by Shanks

[@SirHughJayRection]

One thing I’ve hardly seen mentioned is how similar loki’s helmet looks to luffy‘s straw hat in shape if you subtract the horns. The parallels just keep coming.

[@U_vejs]

I believe Elbaph will finally reveal lore about Shanks and Luffy will have a hard time excepting any of that. I also feel this is a calm before the storm situation. Yes, it feels "slow and too formulaic" for many but that might be the point. In a instance there will be chaos. And since we are with the giants now..... it will be huge 💀

[@Origin820]

Luffy always has great instincts. If Luffy is chill with Loki, then Loki must be a good guy

[@spartanmanjdogg]

He was chill with the bounty hunters at whiskey peak too before they tried to kill him.

[@TheRockerX]

1:43 Loki mentions that the "stinky men" are humans who chose to do battle with Elbaf, i.e., foreign invaders...hence them being sentenced to the die in the underworld.

[@thepackingpacjack7767]

Luffy & Loki, two stinky Boiz!

[@georgev3433]

I see the “Shanks is a coward thing” from Loki being him misreading the situation. He promised to wipe out a crew, and then found out Luffy knows about Shanks. So Loki assumes they have beef, cause most people who aren’t on an Emperor’s tend to not be friends with said Emperor, and was gonna try to use that to bribe Luffy into freeing him.

[@samfisher6606]

I’m very curious as to Loki’s connection to Shanks. Perhaps Loki is the “old friend” Shanks came to see. Obviously, in the story, Robin is cutting her hair so Saul recognizes her. But Oda has to be changing Robin's hair back b/c Lera Abova just started playing her in the live action, and he fell in love with the time skip design again. Also, Saul’s “fallen and he won’t get up”? WOOOOOWWWW! Life Alert much? My guess is a painter is a stone that allows them to create a rainbow bridge that lets them travel between the levels.

Loki somehow gives me Usopp vibes, I'm not sure why

[@syystomu]

That actually tracks, he seems to love to boast

[@filipDcve]

@syystomu Which is interesting, because they contrast in the fact that they might be some credence to Loki's boasts, given that a lot of seaprism was in fact used to lock him up

[@trashman1605]

[@alexiso6215]

Because you want ussop to be important this arc so you begin reading the arc with this bias

[@thegurm]

me too but i only read the unofficial scans 😅 idk Loki's boasting just sounded so cringy to me hahaha idk cant wait to find out how this goes

[@bluetiger422]

@MelonTeee I think Loki's imprisonment has to do with Big Mom and Lola. Given the time skip and Lola's time in the Florian Triangle, 6 years sounds realistic for everything that went down over that marriage proposal. Big Mom has been persona non grata since her starvation attack on their leader when she was a kid. Plus, we still dont know what exactly happened to Mother Carmel and the kids, but we know a giant witnessed it and ran off scared. So, if that giant told their leader, that would put her even higher on the list of enemies. And then here comes Loki falling in love with the enemy's daughter and making deals to marry her. Thats a big no no. I've also been wondering how Big Mom could possibly have the spear of Elbaf. Perhaps that was part of the deal with Loki? I'm also curious about whether or not Loki's feelings for Lola were pure or if it was an obsession. Given the fact that he wasnt fooled by Chiffon, I think his feelings were real and I would love see how Lola ended up leaving. Did she really not like him, or was her mom being so overbearing that she left on principle without really giving it a chance?

[@SuperFlik]

Having read both the unofficial and official translations, the only difference I'm hung up on between the two is that at the end of the chapter in the unofficial it says that Saul has fallen and can't get up, where as the official says he's fallen and he *won't* get up. The unofficial makes it sound like something has happened to Saul where as the official makes it sound like he's just lazy.

[@blackskullknight9062]

From the general introduction on Loki reminds me a lot of Oden. -a very strong and infamous prince of the royal family - having followers that are from different backgrounds but have some form of bond bond with them - now this is speculation but what might of happen was either Oden trying to join the whitebeard pirates or that small moment between shank and the giant kid

[@MaluSilva-yx8nl]

I don't know if it was on purpose or not, but thank you queen for delaying this video to the middle of the hiatus so these days wouldn't feel so empty and I could find a reason to go back to the chapter right now

[@calvinnguyen1870]

Another point in favor of Loki being a good guy is the fact that his introduction bears a striking resemblance to Zoro’s. In both cases, Luffy encounters a dangerous man who is tied up whom we’ve been told, but not shown, is evil. In both cases, the man offers to take someone out on behalf of Luffy if he is freed. Hell, even the pose they’re tied up in is almost exactly the same. This doesn’t necessarily prove that he’s gonna be a good guy or anything, but deliberately calling back to an arc that had a theme of false labels is maybe a sign that Loki is more complicated than he initially seems.

[@crocketlawnchair259]

My take is that since a thought bubble for Loki “I’ll give [Luffy] a quick death!” Basically guarantees he’s a good boy or at least won’t attack Luffy when unchained. Why tell us he’s gonna do that if we were going to just see him do it anyways?

[@eMerlast]

Would be interesting if someone else took the deal. Imagine if Kidd survived, freed Loki, and then asked him to eliminate Shanks.

[@Draxlix]

Luffy as a kid saw Shanks as weak/cowardly when he did not fight back against the mountain bandits. Maybe a similar scenario happened on Elbaf in front of Loki as well. I think Loki is also relatively young in giant years. Being around Elbaf warrior culture and not too much time with Shanks can make Loki perceive Shanks as a coward.

[@mathieuleader8601]

I'm getting the feeling that Loki's fruit will be the mythical Leshy devil fruit a giant that is part plant with a booming voice that can tame wild animals & is often seen with a deer skull in drawings of this creature which matches with Road's cosplay of the Sun God

[@Flippopotamus]

My theory is that the Nika fruit was meant to be returned to Elbaf and Shanks was bringing it back BUT then Luffy ate it and Shanks was like "oh, well I guess I'll gamble on this then" Came back to Elbaf and Loki was like "where's my fruit?" and had an argument over it...

[@slashercat8649]

Another interesting thing is that the creatures that are around Loki are the same/similar designs for the monsters in Strong World. There's a chance we might have a canon Shiki appearance

[@mathieuleader8601]

With blindfold I think that Loki could be a reference to Balor a cycloptic giant from Irish folklore whose eye is said to shoot a deadly ray of light and according to some folklorists is argued to be a sun god

[@tessaN64]

was fun watching this edited live

[@bleep0004]

Lol I am not twitch chat. I am KZbin chat. Shout out to dawn and dusk for pointing out.

[@mitchellregalado2917]

I feel like the humans are probably prisoners who either got out of the detention center on their own or through some sort of community service type deal are allowed to check on Loki as a means to confirm hes still alive and or cleaning up corpses from the Underworld

[@olahisawsome]

The mountain bandits in the first chapter also said "farewell cowards," so we got 3 people in different points of time saying that he's a coward. pluse, we have a scene of him talking to the 5 elders so maybe there's a bit of truth to those words Is Shanks gonna be the first person we meet where what people say about him is the actual truth?

[@wastingtime2380]

Man i can't wait to read this saga. One Piece makes me happy.

[@mathieuleader8601]

I feel like King Chap the Hitler looking king from the Reverie Arc could be the enemy of the Elbaph arc mirroring the S.S's hunt for Thor's hammer

[@gothgrrl8711]

except germa is the nazi equivalent in the one piece world and they're much more relevant to the story

[@MaluSilva-yx8nl]

Considering Luffy's personality, I personally think that he doesn't see Loki as an evil guy, but he also has no reason to free him either 🤣 My guess is that after some chat Luffy will just have his attention drawn to something else and will let him behind and just remember about it later in the arc (a wild guess I know, but that's very Luffy like 😆)

[@WeeGeeAS]

Neat!

[@spartanmanjdogg]

My belief for why luffy seems so chill is that loki isn't a threat to him. This doesnt make loki a good dude either just weaker than luffy.

[@spartanmanjdogg]

Also with Loki's dialogue and mannerisms, so far, there isn't any credible evidence to prove that he was wrongfully imprisoned. Obviously this could change based on what we get from him next.

I call Loki’s bullshit, I think he is the Usopp of Elbaf, he is a big fraud. He’s boasting, lying, joking, he likely got chained up due to his “jokes” like the mythological Loki.

IMO Loki is gonna be another what if Luffy like Moria maybe due to burden of being in the loyal family break him,just like losing most of his friend break Moria

[@kisukoev]

if it wasn't for the fact that Loki is 10 times bigger than the Sunny, I'd think he'll join the crew obviously we have Adam here, so Franky could go the Gurren Lagann route and build a ship for the ship, but also, maybe Loki WILL actually join the cross guild, either way I'm fine, but I hope he has some other role outside of Elbaph

Does Loki really love Lola? With the first impression I'm getting, it seems like he might've proposed to her for the politics.

[@syystomu]

I very much hope Loki will be a Law type character, that would be the most fun option IMO I definitely don't see him as the big bad of the arc, unless it's the same way Wapol was the "big bad" of the Drum Arc. I don't think he's anywhere near strong enough to seriously challenge Luffy and he doesn't even have a strong crew, just these stink men and the animals that Luffy already befriended. If he's a villain, he's gonna be a comedy villain like Buggy or Wapol. He's too pathetic to be a real threat and we already know he was beaten by the giant warriors once so it's not like they should even need Luffy's help beating him again The only way I can see him being a genuine threat is if he's a proper trickster and manages to manipulate the situation to his own advantage, but so far he doesn't seem to have any idea how to deal with Luffy and doesn't seem all that good at being manipulative tbh

[@wowledgend]

Loki is not being friendly. He's talking down to Luffy and saying whatever he can to get free. His inner monologue has him saying that he will kill Luffy as soon as he's free just because Luffy attacked him for the Shanks comment. He isn't Law. Law knew enough about Luffy to know that Luffy will fight anyone and doesn't care about the odds, he just didn't know who Luffy was on a personal level. Loki does not. He does not care about Luffy. He just wants his freedom. He threatened Luffy with the animals using mafia talk. He sees another lowly pirate human that might be his ticket out so that he can destroy the world. You draw bees with honey, not vinegar. And why are people saying Loki ain't a threat? The man can shake mountains with his voice while chained with seaprism. All the giant's keep saying that he is dangerous, that it took all of their warriors to chain him. The strength of his allies does not speak to his own strength. He is not a joke. Luffy is relaxed cause he's Luffy and he's confirmed that he's in Elbaf, so he's excited. If Loki wasn't a threat, why would he be chained up in the First World? This doesn't feel like Zoro as we didn't know why Zoro was tied up until after we met him. We know why the giant's tied Loki up. It's cause Loki did something he shouldn't have. He killed his father and ate a legendary devil fruit. "He committed all manner of evil acts, and was sentenced to crucifixion a few years back but nearly escaped his punishment... It took all of our warriors to get him under control!" Don't be so quick to brush off any idea of his power just cause Luffy is strong and Loki's chained up. We know little about Loki, but what we do know deserves respect for his potential power.
