Latest One Piece spoilers finally reveal the secrets of Loki's Birth

One Piece chapter 1153 offers new information on one of the biggest mysteries. We finally get to know about the origin of Loki. Moreover, the creator has been hinting at the Elbaf storyline with Norse mythology, and the latest spoilers take a surprising turn, diving deep into Greek mythological inspiration. Every chapter that has been released has revealed huge secrets, and this new chapter does not disappoint.

Now that the story is in its final saga, readers have a shocking development because it will drastically change how we view not just Loki, but the entire history of the Giant Kingdom. This One Piece chapter begins with a flashback set 109 years ago. It focuses on King Harald, who was infamous for being merciless, and his tyranny towards the citizens of the kingdom.

Then, one day he met Ida, who showed him kindness without expecting anything in return. He fell in love with her instantly and brought her back to Elbaf as an honored guest. Having her around him made him a softer, kinder person and a better leader. The once-ruthless king began reforming Elbaf and forming diplomatic alliances with other nations. His journey from conqueror to compassionate ruler had truly begun.

Eventually, she gave birth to their child, and it was none other than Hajrudin. Harald, now a devoted father, wanted to make his relationship with Ida official and proposed marriage. But Elbaf's conservative elders in One Piece had other plans.

The elders refused to allow their relationship to evolve into marriage, solely because Ida wasn't of pure Elbafian blood. They only cared about Harald to be with someone who would ensure that their lineage would not be tainted. So they strongly insisted that he should marry Estrid.

Because she was a noble giantess, Estrid was chosen by the ruling council. Harald, pushed into a corner, was forced to marry someone else despite being in love with Ida. His true love had to remain an unofficial consort.

Years later, Estrid gave birth to a boy named Loki, a child who would grow up to become one of the most misunderstood characters in the One Piece universe. However, Loki's beginning was anything but royal. Because he had unusual eyes, Loki was seen as a cursed being.

Estrid was highly superstitious, so looking at her child made her highly disturbed. Unfortunately, instead of understanding or protecting her child, she threw Loki into the Underworld of Elbaf, a deadly subterranean pit filled with monstrous beasts.

It was an extremely disturbing act by a mother, because Loki was not a monster but only a defenseless child. Yet, this child managed to survive by fighting his way through the darkness, defeating deadly creatures despite being just an infant. This powerful act by a child was proof that he was meant to survive and not be degraded as evil.

What does this mean for the Elbaf Arc in One Piece?

Now that a key character's backstory is revealed, it is clear that the Elbaf arc is ready for some action. Eiichiro Oda has now made readers understand Loki’s tragic past. His actions, whether noble or violent, will carry more emotional weight. If Loki decides to fight against everyone, it would be finally because he decided to seek justice for himself and not because he is evil.

There have also been some fan discussions centered on Loki’s strength and potential role in the Final Saga in One Piece. Some fans even speculated that Loki’s backstory is so emotionally charged that he could end up joining the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, or even becoming a temporary ally to Luffy.
