Seriously, isn’t he cold out there?
At first I thought Prince Loki wasn’t a Sun God, just someone impersonating one. You know. Since Luffy is the Sun God. But! What if Luffy’s A sun god, not THE sun god? Luffy ate the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika. It’s possible Loki’s family passed down another Human-Human devil fruit similar to Joy Boy’s version. Well, I doubt Loki’s a rubber man, but seeing as he’s in Elbaph’s “Underworld” with no sun, I bet he feeds on its power. Think Oda’s version of an evil Superman. The more solar energy Loki absorbs, the stronger he gets. A good theory, if I say so myself.
Shanks and Loki know each other, huh? Did Shanks have a hand in stopping Loki six years ago? Probably. No doubt it’s why the Red-Haired Pirates are allies with the giants of Elbaph since Warland sure as heck doesn’t need protection on a regular basis. Gotta say, I’m liking Luffy meeting the possible Big Bad of the arc early. Yep, I’m still not 100% sold on Loki being the final villain of the arc, but he’s still up there. Like a 90% chance it’s gonna be him. Anything other than that will be Oda fooling us all, which can happen.
Loki has a Special Government Bounty of 2.6 billion berries. What does that mean? What’s so special about it? Is it because he’s a powerful prince of a non-affiliated World Government country or is there more to it? Just how big a threat is Loki to the world at large? Hmm…
We get confirmation Elbaph’s giant tree is indeed the Adam Tree. It’s expensive wood was used to create the Thousand Sunny. Many fans guessed it but it’s nice to know it’s true.
Gee Willikers! Rodo’s headed for the Elbaph Village where the key to Loki’s chains are kept. I wonder if he’ll betray his crew and free Loki? Yeaaaah…this is less of an IF it’ll happen than a WHEN it’ll happen.
Robin! Your bangs are back! Great! Too bad your new design sucks compared to your OG look. Check it out for yourself:
Was Robin replaced by Catarina Devon? New Robin looks like Nami with bangs.
Dear, Oda. Why do you hate me so? Have you still not forgiven me for eating your cheesesteak? I’m sorry, okay! I thought you didn’t want it. It was in the fridge for three hours. No sane person keeps a cheesesteak for that long if they’re gonna eat it.
This was an okay chapter! I’m mostly digging the build-up, but really I just want the sh*t to hit the fan so we can get into the main plot of the arc. Plus, New Robin sucks. Sorry Nico, but there’s no way Dr. Saul will ever recognize you. He’s never even met Nami!
