So the latest One Piece chapter 1168 spoilers gave us a lot of bombshells on Loki, and most likely everything we believe to know to be true about the Accursed Prince is not what we think it actually is. Fans have been speculating for months if Loki really killed his father, King Harald, or if there was more to the story.It’s not quite so simple, as we learned in this week of yet more revelations. And as a matter of fact, the revelation casts Loki in the role of a hero rather than a villain.Loki Stopped Harald From Enslaving ElbaphHarald fighting alongside the Marines (Image Credit: Shueisha)The latest chapter reveals that Harald wasn't just working with the World Government. He was literally about to become a full Knight of God with immortality powers from Imu. The spoilers suggest Shanks was supposed to get the Deep Sea Pact but never showed up, so they gave it to Harald instead.This would've given him immortality and made him even stronger than before. But here's the kicker in One Piece lore: Imu ordered Harald to create something called the Abyss Circle in Elbaph and build a giant army for the World Government. That's basically turning his entire kingdom into slaves.Loki saw what was happening and stopped it. The big question everyone's asking is, how did Loki even manage to kill an immortal Harald, who was supposedly empowered by Imu? One popular theory points to Haki being involved, which honestly makes sense given how One Piece has been building up the importance of willpower and Haki lately. Another way to look at it is that both Loki and Harald were victims of Imu's manipulation from the start.The Community Is Rallying Behind LokiTwitter and Facebook are going crazy right now with the Free Loki movement. The general sentiment is that Loki stopped his father from making the worst decision that would've enslaved Elbaph. Harald failed because Loki prevented him from doing Imu's dirty work.And you know what? That perspective makes total sense. One Piece has always been about freedom versus oppression, and Loki literally saved his people from becoming World Government puppets.The reactions have been wild. There's a growing idea that Loki has been protecting a country that hated him from the shadows all along, making him an unsung hero. Another perspective floating around is that Harald ranks among the worst characters in One Piece, greatly written but with terrible vision and no morals. It's harsh but fair when you think about it. Harald was so obsessed with making Elbaph civilized and getting into the World Government that he was willing to sacrifice everything his kingdom stood for.But there's some confusion, too. Imu apparently said something opposite to what we're learning now, which has fans wondering if there's even more to this story. And Shanks imprisoned Loki six years ago after he rampaged across the seas. Was that before or after the Harald incident? The timeline in One Piece can get confusing, but it seems like Loki might've gone on that rampage because of what happened with his father.What This Means for One Piece Going ForwardLuffy inviting Loki to his crew (Image Credit: Shueisha)This revelation completely changes how we should view Loki's character. He's not the Shame of Elbaph at all. He's the guy who saved them from becoming World Government slaves. The people of Elbaph only agreed to peace and connecting with the outside world, not becoming puppets. Harald made that decision without their approval, which makes his actions even worse.There's an interesting theory that Shanks might've imprisoned Loki specifically so Luffy could find him later. That would be such a One Piece move, honestly. Shanks always seems to be playing 4D chess with his decisions. And now that we know Loki is actually one of the good guys, it makes sense why Oda would want Luffy to be the one to free him.ConclusionThe real question now is what happens next. Loki told Hajrudin he didn't kill Harald out of cold blood, and Hajrudin gave him three minutes to explain everything. We're finally going to get the full story of what happened that day at Aurust Castle. With all these revelations about Harald's immortality, the Knights of God, and Imu's plans, One Piece is setting up something massive for the Elbaph arc.The idea that Loki might actually be the real King of Elbaph that the kingdom needs right now is gaining traction, and it's hard to argue against it.
