Why Loki didn't kill King Harald explained

One piece Elbaf Arc has introduced fans to a whole host of exciting mysteries, and it goes without saying that Loki is the character fans want to know the most about right now. Loki is the cursed prince of Elbaf, hated by many for various reasons. From the moment Loki was introduced in the story, fans knew he was going to be quite a complex character. In fact, many fans had already labeled him a villain before his introduction, and Oda certainly went that route too, or at least made fans believe that Loki could be a villain.

One Piece: Oda introduces a legendary ancient pirate

A legendary pirate will soon be introduced in Elbaf. Here's who this legendary person is in One Piece.

This was confirmed when it was revealed in the story that Loki killed his own father and consumed the legendary Devil Fruit. However, the circumstances of this entire ordeal were not revealed to fans. In fact, there's a very good chance that Loki never killed his father at all.

The story of how Loki kills King Harald

• The Giants mentioned that Loki killed Harald

• Loki was sentenced to crucifixion

The story of how Loki kills King Harald is told by the members of the giant race. When Loki was introduced One piece During the Whole Cake Island arc, Oda gave the impression that he was quite the romantic. He fell in love with Lola and was heartbroken when she decided to run away and seek love for herself. This was clearly out of character for an evil individual like Loki. In Elbaf, Loki was portrayed as an evil person who committed all sorts of crimes from a young age. In fact, the story goes that Loki killed his own father and consumed the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf.

This fruit was passed down through the royal family for generations, and Loki eventually consumed it, believing himself to be the sun god who would destroy the world. This was an absolutely massive development in the story, and the fact that Loki actually killed his father shocked many. But strangely, no giant explained how Loki did it in the first place, and this information from Oda seems rather sketchy, especially after seeing Loki's personality.

For one thing, Loki and Luffy hit it off immediately. Even though Loki didn't particularly like Luffy's breezy personality, the two were not hostile to each other. If Loki was truly evil and a villain, Luffy would have sensed it because he is truly a great judge of character. Recently, Loki was seen talking to a person named Shaggy, and this Shaggy person saw through Loki and told him that there was a kind heart behind his cold words. Of course, Loki took offense, but Shaggy's words are actually true and Loki is a kind person. For such a person, it makes little sense to kill his own father unless the father himself was evil. But as mentioned in the last few chapters, King Harald seemed to be a pretty interesting character who wanted Elbaf to make peace with neighboring countries. He doesn't seem to have been evil at all, which makes things even more contradictory because Loki's intention to kill him just doesn't add up.

Why Loki may not have killed King Harald

King Harald could have had many enemies

Putting two and two together, fans should conclude that Loki may not have killed King Harald at all. The reason for this is simple. For one thing, fans have to keep in mind that Loki himself has never admitted to killing King Harald, and he's not one to shy away from admitting something like that. Secondly, there are people from the ranks of the world government who seek out Loki. Both the government's involvement in Loki and the affairs of Elbaf are rather too obvious.

On the one hand, in One piece In Chapter 1135, fans were able to see two hooded people tracking down Loki, and when they asked a nearby giant, he replied that Loki was the man who killed his own father and that there was absolutely no way to kill him to release. The government agents responded by attacking the Giants because they wanted to know where Loki was being held. It's possible that the government wants Loki's devil fruit because it's special and has tremendous power.

One Piece: Oda introduces a brand new devil fruit in Elbaf

Elbaf will present many interesting devil fruits. Here is the latest devil fruit introduced by Oda in One Piece.

But to take it a step further, perhaps the World Government had its eye on this devil fruit long ago and attempted to steal this fruit from Elbaf six years before the story. Back then, they could have sent the Shanks doppelganger couple and the bandaged woman into the countryside to get this devil fruit. This attempt would most likely have failed. It is possible that the people who ultimately killed King Harld were these two hooded figures. Loki, like anyone else, would have confused the Shanks doppelganger with the captain of the Red Hair Pirates, which is why he calls Shanks a coward of a pirate. For Loki, Shanks is a coward who fell for a weak king and killed him, after which he pretended to do nothing. Loki is most likely unaware of the fact that this person was not Shanks, but his twin brother.

More importantly, Loki's eyes are covered with bandages. As you could see One piece After 1135, there is a certain woman who attacks with bandages, and this woman is a member of the Knights of God who looks similar to the Shanks.

Obviously, this story is about more than just Loki killing his father. It is possible that after King Harald was murdered for not giving up the Devil Fruit, Loki witnessed these events and eventually consumed it to prevent it from falling into the hands of these humans. Loki then probably ran away, but it is possible that for one reason or another, perhaps even due to Shanks' interception, these two hooded individuals never managed to get their hands on Loki. After we get the news that Loki has consumed the Devil Fruit, it's possible that the World Government has put their special bounty on him, and this could well be the reason why this bounty is called special in the first place.

Ultimately, of course, this is just a theory, but the idea of ​​Loki killing King Harald may not be true after all, and fans are sure to find the answer to this mystery sooner rather than later.

One Piece can be read via Viz Media. The series is officially available for fans to read for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1135, is January 3, 2024.
