One Piecechapter #1131is poised to expand onits latest villain, Loki,after his intimidating reveal in the latest chapter. While there were concerns that the story might delve too much into the Straw Hats' side adventure into the miniature world created by Road,the fake Sun God, the chapter went beyond fans' expectations and finally revealed the first overall appearance of the anticipated land of the giants, Elbaph. However, the most thrilling revelation of the issue is, without a doubt, the character the natives refer to as the “Shame of Elbaph”, Loki.

Loki, also known as the accursed prince of the land of warriors, was harshly maligned as the chapter masterfully built up to his grand reveal. Driven by his obsession toconsume a legendary fruit passed down through the royal familyfor generations, Loki even went so far as to kill his own father. For his crimes, he was chained by his people. While the lore alone paints a sinister picture, his character design further amplifies his intimidating presence.

Taking things up a notch, Loki boldly claims to be the Sun God destined to bring about the world’s end. With such a sudden and mind-blowing introduction, it’s clear that the upcoming issue will dive deeper into his origins. Unfortunately, the wait to uncover more about Loki will be agonizing, asOne Piecewill be on hiatus for the next two issues of Shueisha’sWeekly Shonen Jumpmagazine.

What Happened in One Piece Chapter #1130?

The Newest Villain of One Piece Is Revealed

One Piecechapter #1130, “The Accursed Prince,” opens with the Straw Hats left on the giants' ship deciding to stop searching for Luffy and the others, believing they are safe and that it’s best to wait for them on Elbaph. Meanwhile, the missing Straw Hats continue their escape from the block country, confirming they are indeed on Elbaph as two more giants, members of the New Warrior Giant Pirates, Goldberg and Gerd, make their appearance. The Straw Hats avoid encountering these giants and begin climbing a rope bridge, venturing deeper into the giants' nation. Along the way, Luffy mentions sensing a presence that’s bothering him and heads on to discover this mystery.

The chapter shifts focus to the Straw Hats aboard the giants' ship, reading the latest news, which reveals updated bounties for Dorry and Brogy, while Luffy is framed for Dr. Vegapunk’s murder. As they go through the news, Robin notices an “X” mark on Luffy’s picture and comments that it feels oddly familiar. The conversation continues with the giants mentioning that Hajrudin, who swore loyalty to Luffy, intended to fetch the Straw Hats himself but stayed put due to trouble in Elbaph.This trouble is revealed to be none other than Loki, Hajrudin’s brother and another prince of Elbaph.

The giants explain that Loki murdered his father, King Harald, to consume the legendary fruit and committed various other crimes, ultimately leading to all the warriors of Elbaph uniting to stop him. As the chapter concludes, Luffy encounters the chained Loki, who reveals that they are indeed on Elbaph and proclaims himself as the giant destined to bring about the end of the world.

What Will Happen in One Piece Chapter #1131?

One Piecechapter #1131 is certain to explore Loki’s grand reveal in greater depth, likely shedding more light on his character. While the previous chapter focused on others discussing Loki, this chapter might seeLoki divulging more about himself directly to Luffy. Given Loki’s association with trickery in Norse mythology, it’s reasonable to assume that his role inOne Piecemight follow a similar path, with him attempting to deceive Luffy to escape his predicament.

Loki’s claim that he is the Sun God destined to bring an end to the world might allude to another inspiration: Ragnarok, the apocalyptic event that marks the end of Asgard in Norse mythology. It’s plausible that Oda is drawing from this rich narrative, but the key to making it unique will undoubtedly be the unpredictable Luffy. As such,One Piecechapter #1131will be a pivotal installment, laying the groundwork for the direction of the series' newest arc.
