Eiichiro Oda , the master behind the work, once again demonstrates his skill in weaving complex narratives that span hundreds of chapters, keeping readers hooked on every detail.
Elbaf and the origin of Shanks' scar
One of the chapter's highlights is the possible revelation about the origin of the famous scar over Shanks' left eye . However, claw marks with three parallel lines found on the walls of Elbaf's throne room have caught fans' attention. These marks are strikingly similar to the scars Shanks has carried since his encounter with Whitebeard in Chapter 434. The similarity doesn't seem to be a mere coincidence, especially considering the role of Loki, the giant prince of Elbaf, who possesses an as-yet-unrevealed Devil Fruit power.
Loki and the Fenris Wolf theory
Speculation that Loki may have consumed the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit , Fenris Wolf , was fueled by visual clues presented in Chapter 1139. The claw marks in the throne room are colossal in scale, consistent with what one would expect from a giant transformed by such a powerful fruit. Furthermore, the three-line pattern matches Shanks's scar exactly, reinforcing the theory that the two fought.
If confirmed, this connection would not only explain Shanks's scar but also highlight Loki's importance in the One Piece . Oda's narrative, replete with meticulous detail, suggests that this battle may have been a pivotal event, with repercussions that still echo in the present day.
Connection to One Piece Chapter
Chapter 1139 is a perfect example of how Oda constructs his narrative cohesively, connecting events separated by hundreds of chapters. Thus, the dialogue between Shanks and Whitebeard in chapter 434, which mentioned battles and wounds, takes on new meaning in Elbaf. The massive destruction in the throne room, with deep scars in the ancient stone, suggests a confrontation of legendary proportions, possibly between Shanks and Loki in his transformed form.
What to expect from the next chapters of One Piece?
As we await more details about Loki, one thing is certain: Oda continues to amaze with his ability to keep fans engaged and guessing. Every visual and narrative clue is carefully planned to enrich the reader's experience, rewarding those who pay attention to the smallest details.
One Piece Chapter 1139 is further proof of Eiichiro Oda's narrative genius. With clues connecting past and present, the manga promises thrilling revelations about Shanks, Loki, and the kingdom of Elbaf.
