Loki and Luffy make a deal

This article contains spoilers from the Elbaf Arc of One Piece.

Key recommendations

• The conversation between Luffy and Loki is a major focus in chapter 1131.
• Sanji's group heads towards Elbaf Village with giants in pursuit.
• The Straw Hat Pirates will be reunited with Luffy soon when they arrive in Elbaf.

One piece chapter 1131 has finally dropped after an incredibly long and agonizing wait for fans, but it's safe to say that this chapter lived up to all the expectations fans had of it. Of course, Oda taking a break at the very beginning of Elbaf meant that fans were left wanting more, especially at a very crucial point in the story.

However, now Oda is finally back, which means great things for the story, as confirmed in One piece chapter 1131. Luffy's conversation with Loki continued this week, and at the same time, the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates who were sailing with the Giant Pirate Warriors finally arrived on Elbaf as well. In the midst of it all, other important things happened that would greatly shape the Elbaf Arch.

The conversation between Luffy and Loki continues

Luffy and Loki know each other better

One thing fans were absolutely sure would happen One piece chapter 1131 is the continuation of Luffy and Loki's conversation. In the previous chapter of One pieceLoki and Luffy met for the first time. For fans who don't remember, Loki is the Cursed Prince of Elbaf and the son of King Harald, whom he killed with his own hands. It was made clear in the story that Loki had been a villain since he was young, and all of his crimes eventually led him to take his own father's life in order to gain access to a legendary devil fruit. This devil fruit was passed down through every generation in the royal line of Elbaful and that is why Loki wanted to take this power for himself. At the same time, as Loki did, he was ordered to be crucified. Although the giants couldn't kill him, they got tired of him and so he was then bound for 6 years in the underworld of Elbaf.

I've been tied here for 6 years, can you believe it? – Loki

One Piece Chapter 1131 continued to detail these major events for fans. Loki spoke to Luffy and told him that he had been imprisoned for 6 years and wanted to be free just like everyone else. Loki pleaded with Luffy that if he were to release him, he would continue to destroy a single pirate crew of his choosing. Of course, to Luffy, this doesn't matter much, as he is strong enough to destroy anyone single-handedly. If Luffy wanted something like that, he would just do it himself. That's why Luffy personally wasn't that keen on accepting this offer.

Of course, the strategy didn't work for Loki, however, his luck shone when he realized that Luffy was actually connected to Shanks. When all the underworld people who knew Loki commented on Shanks recently appearing in the underworld Elbaf, Loki realized that Luffy was somehow connected to the red haired Yonko. Loki tried to challenge Luffy by calling Shanks a chicken pirate, to which he responded by harnessing the power of Gear 4. Of course, this is where Loki realized he had a bargaining chip against Luffy. According to Loki, he will tell Luffy all about Shanks and why he was in Elbaf to begin with if he frees him.

For Luffy, freeing Loki shouldn't be too difficult and all he has to do is find a key to his shackles and set him free. The key is in the village of Elbaf. For context, this is the same place Sanji's group is currently heading to, and it will certainly be interesting to see if Luffy accepts this offer before or not.

Sanji's group heads to the village of Elbaf

• Sanji and Zoro set out to find company in Elbaf
• Road, Gerd and Goldberg are behind them

While Luffy was busy with Loki inside One piece chapter 1131, fans saw the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates who were already on Elbaf. For those who don't remember, this group consists of Sanji, Zoro, Nami, Chopper, and of course, Usopp. At this time, it seems that Sanji is the one leading the group in the village of Elbaf, as seen in One piece chapter 1131.

This visit to the village of Elbaf will certainly be very interesting. At this point, fans don't know much about where he's headed, and they also haven't been given much information regarding his whereabouts.

We are close! The village of Elbaf should be nearby. – Sanji

All the fans saw about this group was that they were still climbing the rope bridge and would continue to do so until they finally reached the middle level of Elbaf. However, behind them is Road, the navigator of the New Giant Warrior Pirates. Behind the Road is Gerd, the doctor of the New Giant Warrior Pirates, and next to her is Goldberg, the cook of the New Giant Warrior Pirates. It turns out that the Thousand Sunny is also in their possession, meaning they took this ship from Road's raven.

This also means that the New Giant Warrior Pirates are now aware that the Straw Hats are in their country and want to welcome them properly. One piece chapter 1131 also implies that a reunion with the New Giant Warrior Pirates is inevitable in the coming chapters, and this reunion is likely to take place in the second level of Elbaf, which is where Elbaf Village also exists. Fans can't wait to see what the village looks like and how the story will be shaped once the Straw Hat Pirates get there.

Arrival of the Straw Hats on the Elbaf

The Straw Hat Pirates will soon reunite with Luffy

Finally, towards the end of the chapter, fans also got an interesting look at the other half of the Straw Hat Pirates who sailed with the Giant Pirate Warriors. Finally, they arrived at Elbaf, and fans even saw Nico Robin getting ready to meet Saul. Brook gave him a fresh haircut much to the delight of fans; now she's back to the old hairstyle she used to sport before the time jump. Now, the meeting between Robin and Saul seems to be happening. However, things may not go well for them either. This is simply because Saul seems to have collapsed, as pointed out towards the end One piece chapter 1131.

While this may come as a surprise to fans, this could simply be due to exhaustion from reading all the books. He is a scholar after all and most likely reads quite a bit. While it's certainly been made to seem like a major event, at this point it's unclear if it really is or if Oda is just taking the opportunity to present Saul as someone who reads so much that he just faint. exhaustion sometimes. Regardless of what happens, fans know they're in for a treat One piece heads to chapter 1132.

One Piece can be read through Viz Media. The series can be read by fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next One Piece chapter, One Piece 1132, is set for November 17, 2024.
