| Some very rough looking pages this time. Oda really needs his breaks... This confirms that Holy Knights and Gorosei can't just ramdomly appear on any island, an Abyss Pentagram is required. And once someone of them is on site they can summon others with the mark. Umit is featured again, most people probably wouldn't recognize him  Should've listened to your best friend smh. Even Saul could've told him a lot about the Buster Call on Ohara which blasted away the innocent. He even witnessed first hand how the WG treats humans. And yet Harald realized too late that he made a deal with the devil. Unlike Otohime he ended up sacrificing a lot more in his noble pursuit to make Elbaf join the world. Desperate to overwrite history he failed to notice that it's military might is the most sought-after. Shanks looks so much more competent in contrast. Played then from the very beginning and left before fully offering himself to Imu. And another one...Mom's have been dying in flashbacks, especially post time skip. RIP Ida. She was cooking with the cherish your culture dialogue. It's a very relevant topic in our current times. Oda did something interesting here, even tho it makes Harald look bad. The line between flawed character and plot induced stupidity is thin here xD |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Harald's gonna have them kill him. Called it back when first Loki appeared that he wasn't evil at all and was gonna be an ally and yet people actually bought that Loki bad crap. |
 |
| Oda always killing off the good, wholesome mothers 🥀 Welp everything has come full circle and now we're back where things started, with the full context behind Harald's death. I think most readers were able to predict the obvious, that Loki maliciously killing Harald was a misdirect and there was something deeper behind it, which this chapter confirms. We have what, 2 chapters left this year after the break? So those 2 chapters will probably be some aftermath stuff that wraps up this flashback and we can kick off the new year by going back to current events. Side note, I noticed unfinished artwork in some panels, it can't be said enough but hopefully Oda is ok 🙏 |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Looks like there's some unfinished art in this one that'll be finished in the volumes, not too unusual but the second time in OP that I remember But regardless of that this was a great chapter, just I figured Harald was being controlled in the end tragically, now we're finally reaching the conclusion of this amazing flashback! |
| rip ida man interesting to learn more about imu and the knights' powers |
 |
| HARALD YOU FOOL! Bro had a really bad case of Giant Guilt. Rip Ida. Actual goat of Elbaf. |
   |
| Shanks left before becoming enslaved to Imu’s control. Unfortunately, Harald was too naive to realize what he was signing/marking himself up for. With this, we can conclude that Harald asked Loki to kill him to prevent Imu from enslaving the giants :( |
 |
| So Harald is getting roasted by the fandom and I understand why but I still think he's a well written yet tragic character in the sense of Oda using him as an example of what happens when one is blindly and desperately invested in one's own vision, dreams and ambition. One of Oda's core themes in the story is the theme of unapologetically fulfilling dreams but with Harald, Oda is showcasing the ugly, bitter and heartbreaking side of it and I feel there is a lot of wisdom in that. |
| Ma BOi LOKI! Always knew you were innocent. Freakin Imu... |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Oda's perspectives, his approach and angle of such topic as one's culture is amazing. Never be ashamed of your own culture and history. Never abandon them. This cost Harald a lot. Loki on the other hand never ditched the old ways. |
 |
| Ah well now it makes sense lol… |
| Penguins are funny |
| holy macaroni, we are back to where we started, next chapter gonna have a insane bloodshed of a battle, hope oda draws it. need to see loki in action. harald got insane resistance, poor dude tho. he actually became a slave, shanks got a mega scape from becoming a slave. rip ida tho. loki putting up with a insane burdens on his shoulders again and again, looks like he'll become one of the best characters. |
 |
| Give me after One Piece a Xebec spin off about his time before raiding the levely solo i'll miss this goated Flashback. I think we'll get the conclusion as last chapter of the year about this flashback so we'll have maybe 2 chapters left. If i'm right next week will be break Edit: Ah what is interesting - Rocks already predicted in Chapter 1158 in his fight with Harald, what the WG (Imu) will do to the Giants. |

| this is so fucking good man. and i don't think i've liked a new one piece character as much as loki in a long time. even panels where he sits silently behind bars is so good. i really hope we see a lot more of him. ida is not someone we knew for a long time, but her death still hits as seeing how she influenced the people around her and even warmed loki's heart. poor guy harald, his whole deal has been doing unintentionally doing wrong things, with the best intentions. now full circle back, oda cooked. |
 |
| Im having a hard time believing that only the giant kingdom have the mark of immortality. There could be more, the wg have been around for 800 years afterall. |
  Stop dancing and help me out here (ꐦ¬_¬) But i'm dancing to provide moral support for you ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ ) |
| Looks like the Loki killed his dad story is going in about the direction I think we could all see it going |
| so this is what really happened... |
| if you hated this episode/chapter, just watch/read something else... 100k on IG (https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh) Discord (https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7) for anime links / news / recom etc |
| So Loke will be a key for killing immortal beings? If he actually kills Harald (maybe IMU will end up killing Harald). |
| Shanks could have helped Harald see the light and realize he was being fooled all along, no? Maybe the circumstances didn't allow him to worry about other people's problems. |
| After all this backstory you think anyone gonna tell Loki that maybe he should try explaining himself from now on? |
