Eiichiro Oda , the master behind the work, once again demonstrates his ability to weave complex narratives that extend through hundreds of chapters, keeping readers glazed in every detail.
Elbaf and the origin of the Shanks Scar

One of the highlights of the chapter is the possible revelation about the origin of the famous scar in Shanks' left eye . However, brands of claws with three parallel lines, found on the walls of the Elbaf throne hall, caught the attention of fans. These marks are incredibly similar to the scars that Shanks carries since his meeting with white beard in chapter 434. The resemblance does not seem to be coincidence, especially when we consider the role of Loki, the giant prince of Elbaf, who has an Akuma power in Mi not yet revealed.
Loki and Fenris Wolf theory
The speculation that Loki may have consumed mythical zoan type Mi , Fenris Wolf , gained strength with the visual clues presented in chapter 1139. The claws in the throne hall are a colossal scale compatible with what would expect from a giant transformed by such a powerful fruit. In addition, the standard of three lines coincides exactly with the Shanks scar, reinforcing the theory that the two fought a battle.
If confirmed, this connection would explain not only the Shanks scar, but would also highlight Loki's importance in One Piece . Oda's narrative, full of meticulous details, suggests that this battle may have been a crucial event, with repercussions that still echo in the present.
One Piece chapter 1139
Chapter 1139 is a perfect example of how Oda builds its narrative in a cohesive way, linking events separated by hundreds of chapters. Thus, the dialogue between Shanks and White Beard in chapter 434, which mentioned battles and wounds, gains a new meaning in Elbaf. The massive destruction in the throne hall, with deep marks on ancient stone, suggests a confrontation of legendary proportions, possibly between Shanks and Loki in its transformed form.
What to expect from the next chapters of One Piece?
While we look forward to more details from Loki, one thing is certain: Oda continues to surprise with their ability to keep fans engaged and speculating. Each visual track and narrative is carefully planned to enrich readers' experience, rewarding those who pay attention to the smallest detail.
One Piece chapter 1139 is another proof of Eiichiro Oda's narrative genius. With tracks that connect past and present, the manga promises exciting revelations about Shanks, Loki and the kingdom of Elbaf.
