Explained why Loki didn't kill King Harald

one piece The Elbaf Arc has introduced many exciting secrets to fans, and it goes without saying that Loki is the character that fans want to know more about at this point in time. Loki is the cursed prince of Elbaf who is hated by many for various reasons. From the moment Loki was introduced in the story, fans knew he was going to be quite the complex character. In fact, even before he was introduced, many fans had him pinned as a villain, and Oda certainly went that route, or at least, led fans to believe that Loki might be a villain.

One Piece: Oda series to introduce an old legendary pirate

A legendary pirate is being introduced in Elbauf. Who is this legendary person in One Piece?

This was confirmed when it was revealed in the story that Loki went on to kill his father and consume the legendary Devil Fruit. However, the circumstances surrounding the entire ordeal have not been revealed to fans. In fact, there is a good chance that Loki never actually killed his father.

The story of Loki killing King Harald

• The giants told Loki to kill Harald

• Loki was crucified

The story of Loki's killing of King Harald is told by members of the Giant race. When Loki was introduced each piece During the Cake Island arc, Oda appeared to be quite the romantic. He fell in love with Lola and was heartbroken when she decided to run away and find love of her own. Obviously, for a villain like Loki, this was unusual. In Elbaf, Loki was portrayed as a villain who committed all kinds of crimes from a very young age. In fact, later in the story it was stated that Loki went on to kill his father and consume the legendary Elbaf Devil Fruit.

The fruit was passed down to the royal family for generations, and Loki eventually consumed it, believing it to be the sun god who would destroy the world. It was an absolutely massive plot twist, and the fact that Loki actually went on to kill his father shocked many. But, curiously enough, no giant explained how Loki actually did it in the first place, and this information from Oda seems rather general, especially after seeing Loki's character.

For the first time, Loki and Luffy started working together immediately. Even though Loki didn't enjoy Luffy's fancier personality, the two didn't hold animosity towards each other. If Loki was truly evil and evil, Luffy would sense it because he is truly a great judge of character. Recently, Loki was seen talking to someone named Shaggy, and this person saw right through Loki and told him that behind his cold words was a kind heart. Naturally, Loki was upset by this, but Shaggy's words are actually true and Loki is a kind person. It does not make much sense for such a person to kill his father, unless the father himself is evil. But, as mentioned in the last few chapters, King Harald seemed to be a rather interesting character who wanted Elbauf to make peace with the neighboring countries. It doesn't seem like he wasn't evil at all, which makes things even more conflicting because Loki killing him simply doesn't add up.

Why might Loki not have killed King Harald?

King Harald could have many enemies

Putting two and two together, the conclusion fans have to come to is that maybe Loki didn't kill King Harald at all. The reason for this is simple. For the first time, fans should keep in mind that Loki himself has never admitted to killing King Harald, and he is not one to shy away from admitting such a thing. Second, there are people from within the ranks of the World Government looking for Loki. Both the government's involvement with Loki and in Elbaf's affairs are very obvious.

For one, in each piece Chapter 1135, fans saw two hooded figures looking for Loki, and when they asked a nearby giant, he replied that Loki was the man who killed his father and there was absolutely no way they would let him go. To this, government agents responded by attacking the giants because they wanted to know where Loki was being kept. It is possible that the government wants Loki's Devil Fruit because it is special and has incredible power.

One Piece: Oda introduces a new Devil Fruit in Elbaf

Elbauf will feature many interesting Devil Fruits. Here is the newest Oda Devil Fruit introduced in One Piece.

But, to go further, maybe the world government had their eyes on this devil fruit a long time ago, and 6 years before the story, they tried to steal this fruit from Elbaf. At that point, they could very well send Shanks' appearance as well as the bandaged woman into the country in an attempt to obtain this Devil Fruit. This attempt will most likely fail. It is possible that these two hooded figures were the ones who eventually murdered King Harald. Loki, just like everyone else, mistook Shanks' appearance for the red-haired pirate captain, which is why he called Shanks a coward of a pirate. To Loki, Shanks is a coward who went after a weak king and killed him, then pretended to do nothing. Loki is most likely unaware of the fact that this person was not Shanks but his twin brother.

More importantly, Loki's eyes are covered with bandages. As seen in each piece After 1135, there is a certain woman who attacks using bandages, and this woman is a member of the God Knights who look alike along the shanks.

Clearly, there is more to this story than Loki killing his father. It is possible that when King Harald was killed for not giving the Devil Fruit, Loki witnessed these events and consumed it to prevent it from falling into the hands of these people. Loki probably got away, but it's possible that for some reason, perhaps because of Shanks' interception, the two hooded men never got hold of Loki. After learning of Loki's consumption of the Devil Fruit, the World Government may have placed their own special bounty on him, which could be why the gifts were called special in the first place.

Of course, in the end, this is just a theory, but the idea of ​​Loki killing King Harald may not be true, and fans will definitely find out the answer to this mystery sooner rather than later.
