The leaks are finally out, and the Elbaf arc just hit peak insanity. Oda has revealed Loki’s true form, and it is far more monstrous than we ever imagined.
Is the Cursed Prince actually the user of the Mythical Nidhogg Devil Fruit? Let’s break down the full summary of Chapter 1174.
What happens in the opening of One Piece Chapter 1174?
The chapter is titled “The Strongest in the World”. It kicks off with Sommers realizing he made a massive blunder.
He accidentally destroys the ship meant for kidnapping the children and tears a hole in the cloud sea. Although it is entirely his fault, he immediately shifts the blame to Imu.
Sommers rushes to stop the children, who are still moving forward due to the momentum from Gunko’s arrow. The situation turns tragic quickly.
- The mothers of the giants try to catch the falling children but fail.
- Sommers laughs maniacally, finding the scene “pathetic.”
- Colomb and the others begin to cry, believing this is punishment for their behavior.
Does Luffy save the Giants in Chapter 1174?
Yes, but the scene begins with pure despair. Riley hugs her son as they fall, pierced by thorns, refusing to let him die alone.
Other families embrace in freefall, accepting their fate while Sommers mocks them. But they don’t hit the bottom.
They land on something soft and rubbery. It is Luffy in Gear 5, soaring through the skies.
But he isn’t flying alone. He is riding on the back of Loki, who has undergone a terrifying transformation.
What is Loki’s Devil Fruit transformation?
Loki has transformed into a Gigantic Jet Dragon. This confirms previous theories about Loki’s powers being linked to mythical beasts.
In this form, the Prince is massive—far larger than Killingham’s worst nightmares. The giants look like mere dolls next to him.
With the arrival of the Dragon and the Sun God, the atmosphere in Elbaf shifts instantly.
- The Drums of Liberation begin to beat across the kingdom.
- Snow and lightning storm from the sky.
- Jarul recognizes this as the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy.
How does the chapter end for Imu and the Straw Hats?
The prophecy speaks of a colossal beast covering the sky alongside the appearance of the Sun God. We are seeing history in the making.
The chapter concludes with a chilling shot of Imu and the enemy forces watching the chaos.
Meanwhile, Loki wreaks havoc on the battlefield. Above it all, Luffy and Ragnir are laughing maniacally atop the dragon’s head.
Chapter 1174 delivers the spectacle we’ve been waiting for since the start of the arc. Loki’s dragon form combined with Gear 5 is an unstoppable force, but Imu is watching closely. What do you think Loki’s fruit really is? Drop your theories in the comments!
