Loki

Loki went to sea, leading Elbaph to believe that he had killed his father for personal gain. Over the next eight years, he achieved significant infamy by sinking Navy and World Government ships using the same tactics Harald used against pirates, enough to earn one of the world's highest bounties. At one point, he encountered Charlotte Lola, the daughter of Big Mom, one of the Four Empresses, and immediately declared his love for her. Big Mom arranged a marriage for them, but Lola ran away, and Loki was not fooled when Big Mom tried to use Lola's twin sister, Chiffon, in her place, resulting in the marriage not taking place. [36][2]

Six years before the present day, Loki was apprehended by Shanks and taken back to Elbaph, where the kingdom's warriors subdued him and sentenced him to crucifixion. [9] With the help of Jarul, who pleaded for mercy, [10] Loki was imprisoned in the Underworld, chained to the Tree of Adam with Sea Stone chains. Despite his solitude, Loki managed to gather the beasts of the Underworld around him, as well as humans who were enemies of Elbaph. [20] Furthermore, he possessed a Snow Den Den Mushi that allowed him to communicate with a mysterious figure named Mosa, whom he had never met in person. [24]

Harald was late enough for Loki to reach the treasure room, where he saw a chest and the hammer Ragnir. To his astonishment, Ragnir began to move to attack him on his own,[33] and Loki tried to avoid it, but couldn't reach the chest. As Ragnir began to spin towards him, Loki confronted it head-on with his own hammer imbued with Supreme King's Haki, causing a large collision that shattered Loki's hammer. Ragnir bounced off the ground before transforming into a battered squirrel. Defeated by Loki, Ragnir guided him to the chest and watched as he ate the Akuma no Mi, the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhöggr.

Loki defeats Harald Loki defeats Harald. Loki then transformed into Nidhöggr, occupying much of the castle space. He approached Harald and easily subdued and severely wounded him in his Beast Form. When Loki reverted to his giant form and prepared Ragnir to attack, Harald regained consciousness and expressed pride in his son, even thanking him for demonstrating his love for Ida with his actions against the Brewers' Village. Loki expressed resentment towards his father for being forced to kill him, and Harald told his son that he loved him. Loki then struck Harald in the chest with a Ragnir imbued with the High King, successfully killing him despite his immortality, and wept as he did so. [26]

Loki crying after killing Harald Loki cries after killing his father. After this, Loki sat weeping over his father's body while bitterly commenting on the fate Harald suffered for loving his country. Later, Loki informed Jarul, Scopper Gaban, and Shanks that he would take the surviving guards and set sail, renouncing his father's wish for him to lead Elbaph, as he knew he could not tell the country what really happened, and forbade anyone else from revealing the truth. Instead, he wished to use his powers to avenge his father and the soldiers he had been forced to kill. [10]

Soon after this, Harald brought Loki and Hajrudin together, expressing his wish that they work together to support Elbaph in his absence. [29] 23 years later, when Ida fell ill, Loki gave her a bull to eat so that she could return to frequenting his bar. However, while in Estrid's hometown, Brewers' Village, Loki discovered that the villagers had poisoned Ida to prevent her from becoming queen. Enraged, Loki attacked and set fire to the village, declaring that Ida was the only mother he had. [28] Loki was imprisoned as a result and silently mourned Ida's death. [53]

Confrontation between Loki and Harald Loki comes into conflict with his father. Fourteen years ago, Loki was summoned to Aurust Castle by Harald.[53] At the castle entrance, he encountered Jarul, and the two briefly discussed Harald's pacifist reforms before Loki impetuously broke down the door to the throne room, where he and Jarul were stunned to see Harald being impaled by several guards.[17] However, Harald regenerated from these injuries before retaliating against the guards and then confronting his son, who had no idea what was happening. Loki and Jarul then managed to immobilize Harald on the ground, and he confessed that the World Government had tricked him and was about to use him as a puppet to enslave the population of Elbaph as soldiers. Harald then asked Jarul to give the precious Akuma no Mi of Elbaph to Loki and asked Loki to kill him and take the throne. But while Loki was heading for the treasure, Harald lost his mind again and killed many of the guards while chasing Loki with the intention of getting the fruit first. [ 33 ]

Rocks had come looking for Harald, and Loki revealed that his father was absent. Rocks told the boy to send a message to Harald informing him that he was seriously injured, but Loki refused. Rocks then responded by actually wounding Loki with a sword blow, ensuring the message was sent. Harald returned to Elbaph to see how Loki was, and Loki was surprised by what his father had done. He then overheard the conversation between Harald and Rocks, in which Rocks revealed his dream of conquering the world, a goal that inspired Loki and gave him a new perspective on life. [19] Over the next four years, Loki continued to get into trouble; on one occasion, the royal guards had to save him from drowning after he tried to go to sea. Hajrudin's mother, Ida, fawned over Loki and invited him to live with her and Hajrudin in the village, but he refused and insulted her, saying he wanted to live freely like Rocks.

After that, Loki begged to join Rocks whenever he came to Elbaph to recruit Harald for his crew, but Rocks refused every time. When Rocks was away, Loki usually stayed at Ida's bar. [27] Loki even challenged Rocks at one point after being refused, causing the pirate to brutalize him in response. [22] On another occasion, Loki told Rocks that he believed the pirate was Nika, and Rocks revealed to him that he was looking for Harald to lead the legendary band Galleila. [29] Forty years ago, Loki saw Harald fight with Rocks, breaking the friendship between the two. For the next two years, he continued to follow Rocks' exploits through the newspaper while waiting for the pirate to return to Elbaph, which never happened. [52] Thirty-eight years ago, Loki read the news about Rocks' death in the Valley of God and openly wept. [2]

As he grew up and left childhood behind, Loki began causing destruction in Elbaph whenever Harald was absent. 48 years ago, he and his animal companions attacked a village that Harald had recently rebuilt, and his older half-brother, Hajrudin, stood up to stop him. Loki responded by striking Hajrudin with a club, belittling his brother's illegitimate parentage as well as Harald's ideals of pacifism. In truth, however, Loki raged in a futile attempt to replace the love he never received. Soon after, he attempted suicide by throwing himself into the Underworld, but proved too strong to die. Soon after landing, Loki encountered a group of human pirates led by Rocks D. Xebec. [16]

Loki Finds Rocks Loki demands that Rocks take him to the sea.

Loki was born 63 years ago, shortly before the Winter Solstice Festival, at Aurust Castle.[3] Before his birth, it was believed that his father, Harald, had prophesied that he would be killed by his son.[9] Loki's mother, Estrid, was immediately disgusted at the sight of his face and did not give baby Loki the touch he so desired, but threw him into the Underworld in an attempt to kill him. However, Loki survived the fall and promptly began climbing the Adam Treasure Tree back to the Sun World.[31] Afterwards, Estrid fell ill, and Loki tried to crawl into her room, but she ordered her guards to keep him away and cover his eyes. Estrid then died, and Loki met Harald for the first time after her funeral. However, Loki had already given up hope of finding love at only a few months old. Since Harald was always at sea, he left Loki in the care of Estrid's older brother, who hated and mistreated him. However, Loki soon managed to kill Estrid's lucky horse, Asla,[9] and when he was 15 years old, the ruler was found dead in the Underworld.[16]

Charlotte Lola

Loki meets Lola Loki proposes to Lola. It is said that Loki fell in love with Charlotte Lola at first sight. However, Lola did not reciprocate the prince's feelings and fled to find her own true love. Lola's rejection of Loki is noteworthy, given that she would go on to develop a reputation for proposing marriage to thousands of people, often at first sight. While it is unknown why Loki fell in love with Lola, it can be assumed that his love for her is at least more than simply based on her physical appearance, as he was unwilling to marry Chiffon instead. [2] Given that Loki only met Lola after exiling himself from Elbaph, the true nature and purpose of the proposed marriage are currently uncertain, as is Big Mom's assertion that such a marriage would have aligned her with Elbaph.

Jarul

Loki and Jarul were first seen interacting when both were summoned to Aurust Castle on the day of Harald's death. Loki was rude to the old warrior, mocking his long life and arguing with him about Harald's reforms; Jarul was horrified by the impetuous violence displayed by Loki. [17] However, the two worked together to stop the corrupt Harald, with Jarul risking his own life so that Loki could obtain the legendary Akuma no Mi before Harald. [33] Afterwards, Jarul reluctantly agreed to Loki's demand that the truth about what happened be kept secret, but when Loki was brought back to Elbaph, Jarul worked to spare his life, pleading for amnesty from execution. When the Knights of God launched an all-out attack on Elbaph, Jarul took advantage of the situation to declare Loki's innocence to the rest of the population. [32]

Outward journey

"Ida won't die, will she?! Because she's the only mother I have!!!" — Loki to Ida's murderers.

Despite not being her son, Ida, Hajrudin's mother, always cared for Loki and spoiled him whenever she could, aware of his loneliness and making it clear that he would always be welcome to live with her and Hajrudin. Initially, Loki resented Ida's attention and attacked her, belittling her status as an outsider and accusing her of trying to usurp his biological mother's queenly status. [27] As time passed, however, Loki began to frequent Ida's bar more often, and his perception of her softened as a result, although he did not easily show it. When Ida fell ill, Loki brought her an ox to eat, claiming he wanted the bar to be open so he could continue frequenting the place; one of Ida's attendants noted this as a demonstration of love from the insolent Loki. Finally, Loki made his true feelings for Ida clear upon discovering that his biological mother's village had poisoned her; His concern for Ida led him to burn down the village in retaliation, and during his attack he openly declared that Ida was his only mother. [28]

Hajrudin

Hajrudin and Loki Loki tormenting Hajrudin in his childhood. Loki and his older half-brother, Hajrudin, had a troubled relationship for a long time. Young Loki took advantage of his superior size and social standing to physically intimidate the smaller Hajrudin and belittle his illegitimate parentage, while Hajrudin tried to defend his father's domain from Loki's violent outbursts. [16] Hajrudin also became enraged when Loki humiliated his mother, Ida, and her status as an outsider. [27] Although Harald asked his sons to work together to help Elbaph in the future, there is no indication that they ever set aside their differences and collaborated during Harald's lifetime.

Hajrudin and Loki reconcile Loki and Hajrudin reconcile in a way. Loki did not inform Hajrudin of the true circumstances of Harald's murder, allowing Hajrudin to believe that his half-brother was a heartless killer, just like the rest of Elbaph. In the present, Hajrudin desperately tried to stop Monkey D. Luffy from freeing Loki, and while standing beside a subdued Loki, Hajrudin became so enraged by Harald's death that he visibly considered killing his half-brother. [12] Hajrudin's accusations caused Loki to defend himself; finally, at Scopper Gaban's suggestion, Loki revealed the true story. [17] With Gaban's support, Hajrudin believed Loki's words and apologized for his accusations, asking Loki to fight alongside him for the sake of Elbaph. [10]

Estrid

As her biological son, Loki, even as a baby, longed for the touch of his mother, Estrid. However, due to his strange appearance, Estrid felt enough revulsion for her son to reject him immediately and even attempt to kill him. [31] Although this murder attempt failed, Estrid ensured that the guards kept Loki away from her and covered his eyes; this devastated Loki and made him give up on love. [16] Although Estrid died when Loki was only a year old, he never forgot the treatment he received from her, even remembering how she cast him into the Underworld. Thus, he harbors only absolute hatred for his biological mother and eventually came to recognize Ida as his true mother. [28]

Although he had always opposed Harald's pacifist nature and attempts at reform,[17][16] Loki knew and understood that his father only had the benefit of Elbaph in mind and was devastated by the tragic and ironic end that Harald met for it. Contrary to his father's last request, he kept silent about the truth to protect Harald's reputation as a great king.[10] Although he allowed the rest of Elbaph to believe that he had killed Harald for personal gain, in truth Loki was greatly troubled by this fictitious idea and could not help but express his true feelings when Hajrudin directly accused him.[12][17] During his first direct confrontation with Imu, Loki proudly declared that Harald was his father.[30]

Harald

Harald holds Loki Harald expressing his pride in Loki during their first encounter. From the time he met his son, when he was only a few months old, Harald loved Loki and was proud of his offspring. However, Harald's frequent absences and the fact that Loki had already abandoned love caused him to harbor resentment and distrust towards his father. [16] At age 15, Loki did not believe that his father cared enough for him to return to Elbaph if he was in trouble and was surprised when Harald actually did, although he tried to rationalize the event as a coincidence. [19] In the short time they spent together, Harald proved to react vehemently whenever Loki became agitated, [27] although he believed that his youngest son would grow up and help Elbaph, and formally requested that Loki and Hajrudin do their best to work together. [29]

Despite their differences, on the day Harald died, he entrusted his son with killing him and taking the throne of Elbaph, while Loki, though loyal enough to obey this order and knowing that his father was being corrupted, took no pleasure in having to kill him. Loki eventually expressed his love for his father in a resentful outburst about the price he was being exacted for committing parricide, and Harald, recognizing the goodness and love behind Loki's harsh words and violent actions, told his son that he loved him too, and Loki wept uncontrollably during and immediately after the incident. [26]

Much of Loki's violent and antisocial behavior actually stems from and masks a deep longing for familial love, which was denied him by his biological mother from the day he was born. It was said that Loki gave up on love when he was only a few months old,[16] and proved to be very distrustful of anyone who tried to enter his life, such as his father, and his discomfort with the people of Elbaph led him to make great efforts to escape and find freedom.[27] Before receiving sufficient inspiration from Rocks to pursue a large-scale destructive goal, Loki, still a child, despaired to the point of becoming suicidal and unsuccessfully attempting to kill himself at least once.[16] However, Loki came to recognize the love that members of his family, such as Harald and Ida, showed him, and although he doesn't mind showing much affection, he did his best to reciprocate that love through acts of practical service. [28] Many of Loki's recent fits of rage and revenge have been in the name of his loved ones, a prime example being the destruction of the Brewers' Village after their actions against Ida,[28] which even the pacifist Harald recognized as a pure demonstration of Loki's love. It was at this moment, blinded by rage, that Loki declared his love for someone without shame for the first time, and Loki has already shown himself to cry openly when he loses people he cares about.[29][10] It is evident that Loki has matured enough not to directly harm others without reason anymore, much less his family. Although he did so out of necessity, even Loki considers patricide an inconceivable act.[26] Although he did not consider it worthwhile to present his case before Elbaph regarding his role in Harald's death, Loki feels strong remorse for it and cannot help but intervene when directly accused of cold-blooded murder.[12][17]

Like many other characters, Loki has a

Personality

“Are you offering me a deal...? In that case... your fate is sealed, my friend!! Die and rest in peace!! Yes, I will be sad and furious, but a warrior does not complain or lament his death!! Instead, I will fuel this fury and use it to bring the world to ruin!!!” — Loki's defiant warrior spirit. [ 14 ]

Loki presents himself as a jovial, impetuous, and confident warrior who follows his own path. Imagining himself a destroyer,[15] Loki has long resolved his problems using violence; as a child, he was little more than a common bully who used his superior strength to justify his destructive attacks.[16] As a young adult, Loki still regularly demonstrates impetuous behavior and a lack of consideration for his surroundings.[12][17] Even when fighting to defend Elbaph, Loki doesn't bother to contain his lightning-based attacks, although they can start fires that pose a great danger to the Sun World.[18] Due to his pride in his destructive behavior, Loki dislikes being seen as kind, friendly, or heroic. [ 15 ] He supports Elbaph’s historical warmongering culture and has consistently opposed his father Harald’s attempts to change it,[ 17 ] [ 16 ] drawing considerable inspiration from Rocks D. Xebec’s brazen dream of overthrowing the current world order.[ 19 ] He has currently declared his intention to end the world as the self-proclaimed “Sun God”, indicating that he is still interested in causing global upheaval and fulfilling Elbaph’s supposedly apocalyptic texts regarding Nika.[ 1 ]

Considering himself the strongest in all of Elbaph, [20] Loki fears no one and makes it clear to those who harm him that he will seek revenge, even if he is in a vulnerable position where such threats may result in brutal retaliation. [21] Even as a child, he did not fear Rocks and even challenged him to a duel, despite having already been attacked and wounded by him.

Loki is a very large giant, believed to be the size of Oars,[11] with long, light magenta hair. The front of his hair is styled in two thick braids, while the back remains messy and disheveled. His well-defined body is relatively slender, with long legs and muscular arms covered in red tattoos. He also sports a pointed goatee, a metallic carapace over his nose, and sometimes tends to stick his tongue out while speaking.[1] Having inherited the blood of the Elder Giant from his father, Loki possesses a pair of long black horns that extend upwards, with the left one held in place by a band.[12] In addition, he has eyes with slit pupils and black sclera, a feature not seen in any other giant.[13]

Like most giants of Elbaph, Loki dresses in Viking fashion, including a wide-brimmed black helmet with his horns showing, as well as a dark set of gloves, trousers, boots, a fluffy purple cape, and a belt with a crowned Jolly Roger design worn across his abdomen. Loki also has his eyes covered by bandages,[1] a feature that has been present since childhood.[12]

Loki is the prince of Elbaph, son of King Harald and Queen Estrid, younger half-brother of Hajrudin and adopted son of Ida. [8]

Marginalized since childhood, Loki was tasked by Harald with killing him to spare Elbaph from the World Government's attempt to control the giants. After completing the mission, Loki refused to clear his name, earning the reputation of "Shame of Elbaph," and instead set sail seeking revenge against the World Government. Loki was later brought back to Elbaph by Shanks and imprisoned for the next six years [9], before being freed by Luffy and Hajrudin to help them against the World Government's latest attempt to annex the land of the giants. [10]

A devotee of the legendary pirate Rocks D. Xebec, Loki has long sought the destruction of the present world that the “Sun God” Nika is prophesied to bring about, and in the present day has declared himself the Sun God who will end the world. [6]

First mentioned in the Whole Cake Island arc, he is an important ally of the Straw Hat Pirates in the Elbaph arc.
