This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf arc.
Summary
- Rocks D. Xebec was the first to beat Loki in a brutal battle, leading to respect from Loki despite rejection.
- Red Haired Shanks defeated Loki in a special battle six years ago, showcasing his strength before becoming a Yonko.
- Loki eats the Devil Fruit, claiming to be the Sun God with world-ending power, setting the stage for future revelations.
The Accursed Prince of Elbaf, Loki is an incredibly powerful character who fans know is central to the Elbaf arc. It was recently revealed to the fans that Loki possesses immense strength and that he has a special bounty of 2.6 billion berries to show for it.
One Piece: Oda Just Revealed The Shocking Relationship Between Rocks D. Xebec And Loki
Rocks D. Xebec is a legendary figure in One Piece. He has a deep connection with Loki.
Undoubtedly, Loki is one of One Piece's most powerful characters, even strong enough to rival the likes of the Yonko. However, that most certainly doesn't mean that Loki is invincible. He has lost a few in the past, and even though he's very strong, he can be beaten right now too. Oda had revealed the characters that have beaten Loki already, and it certainly is surprising to know that Loki has fought these monsters already.
Loki and His Immense Strength
- Loki claims to be the sun god who will destroy the world
- Loki ate his Devil Fruit recently
Loki was revealed to be an immensely powerful character right at the beginning of the Elbaf arc by the Giants, although his image that was portrayed wasn't exactly good. Loki was revealed to be the Accursed Prince who has only ever caused problems for the country, and above all, committed the grave sin of kin slaying by murdering his own father in cold blood. It is also said that Loki stole the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf, which he then went on to consume and set out to the sea.
I am the Sun God who will destroy the whole world! — Loki to Luffy
While Loki's Devil Fruit power remains unknown to this day, fans do know that he claims to hold the power of the Sun God, and if his words are to be taken literally, he holds enough power to destroy the whole world. Loki is immensely powerful and the next few chapters of One Piece are going to reiterate that once again, which is something that fans are incredibly eager to see. While fans are excited to see his full capabilities, likely through a flashback, Oda already delivered a short glimpse of his past in One Piece chapter 1145. It is safe to say that this glimpse was rather shocking as nobody expected it, and on top of that, fans also know that in this short glimpse, Oda revealed a character who defeated Loki in the past.
The First Pirate To Beat Loki Was Rocks D. Xebec
Xebec Refused To Let Loki Join His Crew
As far as the pirates who defeated Loki go, the very first one to accomplish that was none other than the legendary individual, Rocks D. Xebec. As was seen clearly in One Piece chapter 1145, Loki was immensely mesmerized by Rocks's strength and wanted to be a part of his crew. For Loki, serving Rocks meant a lot, but he was eventually rejected by the captain of the crew.
Seriously? You pulled a sword on a kid, Rocks? — Whitebeard to Rocks D. Xebec
One Piece: Oda Finally Introduces The Strongest Pirate In The World
The strongest pirate in the world is finally revealed. One Piece fans have been long awaiting this moment.
The reason behind this was likely his age, as this happened when Loki was in his early childhood days. When Loki was met with refusal, he challenged Rocks to a fight and lost the battle terribly. The clash was so vicious for him that an entire sword was shoved into his body, which Newgate believed was an extreme measure. Even though Loki could never join the Rocks Pirates, his respect and admiration for Rocks remains to this day.
The Second Pirate To Beat Loki Was Red Haired Shanks
Shanks Destroyed Loki In A Battle Six Years Ago
It was recently mentioned in One Piece's Elbaf arc that Shanks is one of the few characters in One Piece who can beat Luffy. In fact, when Loki set out to the sea six years ago, it was none other than Shanks who ended up facing him in battle. Back then, Shanks wasn't a Yonko but he was already very strong. His fight with Loki was extremely special, and in the end, he was victorious. Shanks chained Loki down and took him back to Elbaf with him, where he was returned and then tied to the base of the Adam Tree in the Underworld.
So far, Shanks and Rocks D. Xebec are the only two people who are known to have beaten Loki, but there could soon be another individual added to the list.
One Piece chapter 1145 will be out very soon, later this week. As usual, One Piece is going to drop on the upcoming Sunday. In Japan, One Piece drops at 12AM JST on Monday. However, the vast majority of international readers will see the chapter available on April 6. The official release date of One Piece Chapter 1145 is April 6, 2025.
