The Elbaf arc in One Piece is full of exciting twists and turns, and the latest chapter brought to light a character who may hold the key to the fate of the nation of Giants: Loki , the "Cursed Prince of Elbaf."
Loki, known for his dark past and violent actions, has always inspired fear and hatred among his people. However, with the arrival of the Holy Knights and the chaos that ensues in Elbaf, he may prove to be the hero no one expected.
One Piece's Loki seems to know about the threat to Elbaf
Loki was blamed for the death of his beloved King Harald 14 years ago, an event that marked his escape from the country. After years of exile, the authorities captured Loki and held him prisoner. Now freed by Luffy and Zoro, Loki emerges at a critical moment, as the Holy Knights, led by Shamrock, launch a surprise attack on Elbaf. Despite his reputation, Loki demonstrates a profound understanding of the threats looming over his people, suggesting there's more to his story than meets the eye.
In recent chapters, we see Loki using his hammer, Ragnir, to summon powerful lightning bolts, an ability that could be both a curse and a blessing for Elbaf. Interestingly, he seems more focused on protecting the kingdom than wreaking havoc. Furthermore, theories suggest that a larger conspiracy, possibly involving the World Government, may have led to King Harald's death. Suspicious expressions from characters like Jarul and claw marks in the Throne Room indicate that there are secrets yet to be revealed.
As the battle against the Holy Knights intensifies, Loki may become the ally the Giants need to survive. His immense abilities and knowledge of external threats could be Elbaf's salvation. Will the "Cursed Prince" finally find redemption?
One Piece Chapter 1142 officially premiered on Monday, March 10, 2025, at midnight JST. However, fans can watch the chapter for free on the Viz Media and Manga Plus .
