The One Piece comic series introduced Prince Loki in Arc Elbaf. He was first mentioned in the ARC island of Whole Cake as the person who wanted to marry Charlotte Lola. However, the marriage alliance with the pirate Big Mom was ruined because Lola fled, and Loki refused to marry Lola's twin sister, Chiffon.
After that, Chapter 1130 introduced Loki officially, readers saw him being cuffed into a big tree in the world. Loki is serving a sentence for murdering himself as King Harald. The giant believes that Loki took his king's life to get the legendary evil fruit. In some times, they expressed their disorientation to the kingdom of the kingdom.
Loki is known as the cursed Prince of Elbaf, who often causes disaster in the villages. However, despite disliking him, the giant still tolerates the prince. They decided to arrest and detain Loki after he murdered the king they loved. When Loki was wandering around the seas, Shanks helped the giant to arrest the prince.
Despite the bad reputation, Loki may be hiding a secret. The comic series has shown some suggestions that although Loki wants to destroy the world, he doesn't seem to be evil.
One Piece's Arc Elbaf will soon reveal the truth behind the death of King Harald
The biggest suggestion was given in One Piece chapter 1137 when Jarul said he was beaten by Loki. There were not many people there at the time when King Harald died, but Jarul knew the truth. Maybe he is hiding the truth for the benefit of Elbaf and Loki knowing that. In addition, despite being scary, Loki and Luffy were able to talk to each other in the first meeting. Despite the naive personality, Luffy often quickly grasped the true nature of a person.
Not only chose to trust Loki even though he mocked Shanks, but Luffy even made a contract with the cursed prince. Moreover, we have seen Loki's despair when we want to escape our chains. Then, even when Shamrock and Gunko given the opportunity to escape, he still refused to join the holy Sergeant.
Loki did not even hesitate to mock the two while expressing his disgust to the Thien Long Nhan. He did not even move when Gunko tortured. If he was cunning enough to take his father's life, he would not hesitate to choose an easy way to escape.
Loki supports the values of a brave and respectable warrior. Like other giants, Loki believes in Nika and wants to become a legendary warrior. Moreover, the animals in the world not only exist to cause destruction. Like the way they make friends with Luffy, they are loyal to Loki.
The animals seem to be tended to be attracted to kind people. They trust Loki and are willing to risk their lives to protect him. In chapter 1136, Loki mourn the death of the dead wolf to protect and want to destroy the world.
Loki may be the victim of the conspiracy from the world government
In One Piece Chapter 1137, Shamrock revealed his true intention to Elbaf, showing that he did not come to fight the strongest kingdom in the world without planning. The world government is always greedy for the power of the giant. They offered a special bonus of 2.6 billion berry for the head of Loki six years ago. This proves that they have kept the strongest giant for many years.
King Harald is expanding trade out of Elbaf, which can make the world government alert. He was loved by the people and he searched for peace instead of war. It is likely that he is considered a threat, and it will be very difficult for the world government if Elbaf stops isolating himself and the alliance with other countries. If the Government of the World, or more specifically, Shamrock traps Loki to kill his father, then Loki constantly talking about destroying the world is understandable.
The giant, though strong but loves peace in their kingdom. They disgusted the idea of their beautiful land turned into a battlefield. This may be the reason why Jarul concealed the truth – to maintain the fragile peace of their nation. Unfortunately, the holy monks came to Elbaf and sought ways to achieve their goals even if that means destroying Elbaf.
