Eiichiro Oda , the mastermind behind the work, once again demonstrates his skill in weaving complex narratives that span hundreds of chapters, keeping readers glued to every detail.
Elbaf and the origin of Shanks' scar

One of the highlights of the chapter is the possible revelation about the origin of Shanks' famous scar on his left eye . However, claw marks with three parallel lines, found on the walls of the Elbaf throne room, caught the attention of fans. These marks are incredibly similar to the scars Shanks has carried since his encounter with Whitebeard in Chapter 434. The resemblance doesn't seem to be a mere coincidence, especially when we consider the role of Loki, the giant prince of Elbaf, who possesses an as-yet-unrevealed Devil Fruit power.
Loki and the Fenris Wolf theory

The speculation that Loki may have consumed the Mythical Zoan -type Devil Fruit , Fenris Wolf , gained strength with the visual clues presented in chapter 1139. The claw marks in the throne room are on a colossal scale, consistent with what one would expect from a giant transformed by such a powerful fruit. Furthermore, the three-line pattern coincides exactly with Shanks' scar, reinforcing the theory that the two fought a battle.
If confirmed, this connection would explain not only Shanks' 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 crucial event, with repercussions that still echo in the present.
Connection to chapter 1139 of One Piece

Chapter 1139 is a perfect example of how Oda constructs his narrative cohesively, linking events separated by hundreds of chapters. Thus, the dialogue between Shanks and Whitebeard in chapter 434, which mentioned battles and wounds, takes on a new meaning in Elbaf. The massive destruction in the throne room, with deep marks on the ancient stone, suggests a confrontation of legendary proportions, possibly between Shanks and Loki in his transformed form.
What can we expect from the next chapters of One Piece?
While we await more details about Loki, one thing is certain: Oda continues to surprise with his ability to keep fans engaged and speculating. Every visual and narrative clue is carefully planned to enrich the reader's experience, rewarding those who pay attention to the smallest details.
Chapter 1139 of One Piece is further proof of Eiichiro Oda's narrative genius. With clues connecting the past and present, the manga promises exciting revelations about Shanks, Loki, and the kingdom of Elbaf.
