Overview

• Chapter 1152 reveals that King Harald was ambushed and fatally stabbed by his own guards—an event witnessed by Gaban and Shanks—which definitively exonerates Loki of patricide.
• Chapter 1153 delves into Harald’s past, showing his forbidden love for Ida and the elders’ imposition of an omen-obsessed bride, Estrid, on the giant king.
• Estrid’s conviction in a prophecy that her son would kill Harald drove her to cast newborn Loki into Elbaf’s perilous Underworld as a bad omen.
• The infant prince’s survival against savage Underworld beasts and his ascent of the colossal Adam Tree highlight his extraordinary resilience and latent power.
• Luffy’s unwavering trust in Loki’s innocence has sparked a tentative bond that may evolve into an alliance or even the prince joining the Straw Hat Pirates.
