One Pieceiscurrently in the Elbaf arc, and fans did expect a lot from this particular arc, given that it has been built up for decades, nobody expected it to be as exciting as it has. So far, however, things have only been built up in this arc which means the payoff is yet to come.
Oda has set up exciting reveals for later in the arc, and more than that, massive battles for all the fans to enjoy. In fact, one of the most legendary battles inOne Piecewill finally be shown in the Elbaf arc, and it concerns none other than the Accursed Prince of the country, Loki.
Oda Will Show Shanks Vs Loki In Elbaf
Ever since the Elbaf arc began, fans have been wanting to see more of the legendary character that is Loki. Oda didn’t waste any time setting him up as one of One Piece’s most important characters, and at the same time, he also built him up to be invincible,marking him as Elbaf’s strongest. What’s even more exciting is the fact that Oda directly tied Loki to none other than Shanks, and he did this by telling the fans that while Loki is undefeated for the most part, he has faced one crushing defeat in his life, and that came at the hands of the Yonko, Red Haired Shanks.
Before Shanks, nobody could defeat him! — Gaban
Shanks met Loki around 6 years ago on the high seas, and it is likely that the latter challenged him.As put forward by Gaban, it was Shanks who emerged victorious from this fight, becoming the only person who had ever stopped Loki in his whole life, despite his powers being strong enough to destroy the whole world. Unfortunately, fans haven’t seen this battle yet, but the Loki flashback has begun, which means that they’ll soon see the full battle between these two legends. Seeing Loki in battle is exciting enough, but fans know that there is more to it. They’ll also see Shanks in battle, which would make it his second officialOne Piecefight, after his recent crushing victory over Kid.
Rocks D. Xebec’s Fights Could Be Shown
Another amazing battle that couldpotentially be shown in the Elbafflashback is that of Rocks against the World Government. As mentioned by Loki inOne Piecechapter 1152, Rocks was killed by the World Government, so that’s precisely why he hates them. Loki idolized Rocks, and fans will definitely get to see this incredibly powerful individual in the flashback. But, more than just seeing him, fans might also see him in battle, which would be breathtakingly exciting.
Let me sail the seas with you! — Loki to Rocks
Luffy Vs Imu Will Be Elbaf’s Biggest Battle
Elbaf’s Final Battle Is A Teaser For One Piece’s Most Important Fight
If Shanks Vs Lokiand Rocks D. Xebec’s battles aren’t enough, then fans need to consider the fact that the main event for Elbaf’s big battles is a clash between Luffy, the current Nika, and the demon Imu, who has forcefully taken control of the land of Giants. This will be the prelude to the Final War, and fans know very well that this fight will be One Piece’s greatest.
