Chapter 1,130: “The Cursed Prince”.
Ogre Child Yamato’s Golden Harvest Surrogate Pilgrimage, Vol. 17: “Yamato is napping with Otama. At that moment, a shadow approaches and a mysterious hand grabs Yasuie sword to steal it.”
Chapter starts at Elbaph ship. Franky announces to the giants that they would like to stop searching. They have done all they can, Jinbe even asked the sharks to search in nearby seas but they didn’t find anything.
So their best option now is to trust their nakama and go to wait at Elbaph. The giants agree and Elbaph ship continues its journey.
Cut to Luffy’s group, they get out from Road’s diorama and find that they were inside a giant castle (similar to LEGO castle) in the middle of snowy land surrounded by forests and mountains. The castle (that is on top of one of the mountains) has a very long bridge connected to a huge tree branch up in the sky.
Nami is getting dizzy from the scale of everything. Suddenly, they see someone crossing the bridge toward the castle and hide.
The two person coming to the castle are “Goldberg” and “Gerd”, two members of the “New Giant Warrior Pirates” (the giant pirate crew led by Hajrudin). Next to Gerd is “Piper”, her giant owl.
Gerd: “I wonder, why Hajrudin let such a weirdo be in our crew?”
Goldberg: “Well because he has true skills as a navigator.”
Gerd: “I hate him!! He’s more of a “shame of Elbaph” than Loki is.”
Goldberg and Gerd come to the castle because owl Piper detected Road’s crow carrying a ship. As trespassing is illegal in Elbaph, Road has a habit of taking nearby ships and claims them as trespassers. That way Road can lock them up.
Gerd says if she sees that Road is kidnapping someone, she will report this to Jarul-sama (the old giant from Big Mom past, he’s now around 408 years old). Nami hears the “trespassing is illegal” part, so she orders everyone to remain hidden.
As Goldberg and Gerd knock the door of the castle calling for Road, Straw Hat crew run across the bridge. Below the bridge is a forest and many giant wolves.
But in the middle of the bridge, Luffy stops. He says he has been feeling it since they were inside the block kingdom, and Zoro and Sanji must have felt it too.
Luffy: “It’s a “scream” of a man so powerful that I can feel it all over my body!!”
Luffy wants to go check out the source of that “scream”. Sanji says he will stay with the group and stops Zoro from going with Luffy.
Sanji: “This Marimo should never be allowed to enter any forest!!”
Luffy tells other to go on ahead and then he jumps down from the bridge to the forest below.
Cut back to Elbaph ship, the News Coo deliver morning’s World Economy Newspaper. One of the news shocks Dorry and Brogy: it is report that the “Giant Warrior Pirates” attacked Egghead Island.
Brogy: “Why would they make up lies like this!!
I can’t read anything, newspaper is too small.”
Robin: “I will read it then.
The “Giant Warrior Pirates” has awakened from their 100 years slumber!! Together with Yonkou “Straw Hat Luffy”, they set Egghead aflame.
Both captains of the “Giant Warrior Pirates”, “Brogy the Red Orge” and “Dorry the Blue Orge”, will have a 1.8 billion Berries bounty placed on their heads!!”
We can see new Dorry and Brogy Wanted posters, with pictures took in Egghead and with new 1,800,000,000 Berries bounty each one.
Brogy: “1.8 billion!?”
Dorry: “It is not our intention to be back!!”
Giant Warrior Pirate: “Bosses used to have a “100 million” bounty, right? What a boost!!”
Robin: “Quite a bit of inflation has happened between 100 years ago and now!!
But… this is a reasonable number for the leaders of Elbaph Warriors…”
The newspaper also reports that Luffy is the one who killed Vegapunk, with huge picture of Luffy using Gear 5 form. Robin sees the photo and stops because she notices an “X” mark on Luffy’s arm in newspaper picture.
Robin: “Did this mark always appear on Luffy’s arm… when he becomes “the most free”?”
Franky: “Huh? I don’t really remember. After all he’s always bouncing about so you can’t see clearly.”
Robin: “… It is a bit unnatural.
His arm is swinging here, but the mark remains clear as day…
I think I have seen it somewhere before…”
Dorry: “Anyhow, to think that “Straw Hat” is now standing equal to “Red Hair”!!”
Brogy: “And it also seems like one of our youngsters, Hajrudin, has become you guys’ underling!!”
Kashii: “All things considered he’s still a “son of the king”. He was a rough brat I believe.
They wanted to come pick you guys up too, but the reason only us seniors came is because there’s a little trouble happening back in Elbaph.”
Franky: “Trouble?”
It’s explained that while Dorry and Brogy were absent, Loki (an official “son of the king”) was born. He was an evil giant called “the cursed prince”.
Loki murdered “King Harald” (“A”), his own father, to claim a “legendary Akuma no Mi” that passed down in the royal family (we don’t see King Harald in this chapter). And then Loki ate that Akuma no Mi (no more information about it in this chapter).
The warriors of Elbaph managed to detain Loki, but recently he was on the verge of breaking free, so they need the strength of all warriors of Elbaph to restrain Loki. Franky is shocked that there’s someone so powerful they need all Giant Warriors’ power to lock him up.
Cut back to Luffy. In an ABSOLUTELY EPIC double page, Luffy finds a huge giant tied up with massive chains in the middle of snow. That giant is “Loki”.
Loki design is BADASS. Loki is a thin and muscular giant. He has a very long hair (with 2 braids in the front) and a goatee in the chin. He has some tattoos on his arms (not clear yet what are them). He wears normal giant outfit but in his buckle’s belt there’s a Jolly Roger with a crown. He wears a black helmet with 2 long horns (like the Loki from Marvel Universe) and he has an axe on his back. Finally we can see that Loki’s eyes are covered with bandages…
Loki talks to Luffy. When Loki talks his long tongue is hanging out (like Doflamingo). Loki: “Name yourself…!!!”
Luffy: “I’m Luffy!! The man who will become the King of the Pirates!!”
Loki: “King…!?”
Luffy: “Where is this place and who are you?”
Loki: “This is “Warland” the land of warriors of Elbaph!!!
Devoting itself to war in the past, it is the world’s most powerful nation!!!”
In the FUCKING EPIC final double page of the chapter, we finally see full Elbaph after years of waiting (official name is “Elbaph” that’s why I used that name instead of Elbaf in all the summary).
Elbaph is a landscape of mountains with the colossal tree “Yggdrasil” in the center that dwarfs all of them (“Yggdrasil” is at least 12/13 times larger than the mountains). There are many waterfalls pouring down from the giant tree.
“Yggdrasil” has a middle layer formed by its branches that surrounds its trunk. That layer seems to be where the giants live, because we can see a majestic castle and village on it. There are also some cannons facing outside. And finally we can see a huge sword piercing through the middle layer and seems to reach all the way to the ground.
This is a very simple Elbaph’s sketch, Oda’s art is much, much better.
In the last panel of the chapter Loki continues talking with a malevolent smile…
Loki: “And I am “Loki”, the “Sun God” who will bring the end to this world!!!”
End of the chapter.
One Piece will be on break next 2 weeks because Eiichiro Oda needs to do some research. One Piece will resume in Weekly Shonen Jump #50/2024 (on sale 11th November).
Recap of Previous Events
Before we delve deeper, let’s quickly recap what transpired in the previous chapter. Apologies for missing last week’s full summary; the chapter itself was somewhat lackluster. The Straw Hats managed to escape from their captor, the so-called “Sun God,” who turned out to be Road, a member of the New Giant Warrior Pirates and a subordinate of Hajrudin. Road encountered the Strawhats while they were unconscious on their way to Elbaf, and he experienced a crisis of conscience about joining Luffy’s Grand Fleet. This led him to conduct a bizarre prison experiment, attempting to control them, but ultimately, the Straw Hats easily broke free from his makeshift fortress.
Current Developments
As we enter this chapter, we finally see the other Strawhats making their way to Elbaf. The focus has primarily been on the original five members recently, but now the entire crew is on the move. Newspaper reports reveal that Luffy has been accused of killing Vegapunk and destroying Egghead with the help of the Giant Warriors. This revelation raises questions about how the Straw Hats will manage public relations after Vegapunk’s significant transmission regarding the Void Century and his subsequent demise.
The Gorosei continue to manipulate the narrative, ensuring that they remain unchallenged in their lies. This situation positions Luffy and the crew as pariahs among those who are unaware of the truth, giving the Navy further justification to pursue them.
Dorry and Broggy’s Bounties
Dorry and Broggy’s new bounties are set at an impressive 1.8 billion berries each, placing them among the top bounties in the series. They currently rank around 11th highest, just below Crocodile, whose bounty stands at 1.965 billion berries. This increase in bounties is particularly amusing, considering how overpowered they seem, especially after their recent encounter with the Gorosei.
Loki’s Introduction
Loki, who is introduced in this chapter, has a dark past; he killed his father to obtain a legendary Devil Fruit. Luffy’s encounter with him occurs while Loki is chained to a tree, raising intriguing questions about his powers and the circumstances surrounding his punishment. The chapter features stunning double-page spreads showcasing the grandeur of Elbaf, including its castles and villages.
Elbaf Trivia
-
Elbaf’s Significance: Elbaf is known as the homeland of the Giants in the One Piece universe, and it has been hinted at for years. The lore surrounding Elbaf is rich with Norse mythology references, particularly concerning its legendary warriors and the concept of honor.
-
Loki’s Role: In Norse mythology, Loki is a complex figure often associated with mischief and chaos. His character in One Piece seems to draw inspiration from this, suggesting that he may not fit the typical mold of a villain or ally.
-
Devil Fruits: The legendary Devil Fruit that Loki possesses is yet to be revealed, but given the context, it could be a Mythical Zoan type, which would align with the high stakes and powers seen in the later stages of One Piece.
Conclusion
As we anticipate the next chapters, it’s clear that Loki’s character will play a pivotal role in the unfolding narrative. With the Straw Hats now officially in Elbaf, the potential for conflict and alliances is ripe. Keep an eye out for further developments, and remember, there will be a break of at least two weeks following this chapter. In the meantime, I’ll be sharing content on theories and reactions, so stay tuned!
