Prince Loki is EVEN MORE Dangerous Than We Thought we have a big Bounty for the big giant man an old hairstyle for an old friend who is now on the floor and this chapter may have subtly revealed exactly how our Shanks became an emperor of the sea so I feel like after getting through all of the road the suy stuff odor is starting to really shift this story into Relentless gear because we are still in the very opening of this Arc but we are being bombarded with so much and I’ve got to say all of this is heading in a very very not good direction it’s all
Is Prince Loki bad?
How strong is Prince Loki?
only just picking up on it now and to be fair it’s been a long time since this cover story began so these things are easily forgotten this is part 18 and I feel like we might be in for one of if not the longest cover story in all of One Piece because Yamato’s pilgrimage is supposed to be across all of wano and at the moment we’ve only covered the flower capital K and aluri there is still so much left to be seen and done and probably a lot more pages of Yamato sitting and eating with assorted people

so we’ve got a while to go yet but getting into the actual chapter we pick up exactly where we left off and Luffy has now climbed up onto Loki’s leg which is both a horrible and blasphemous we’re starting to get to know Loki a bit more and he definitely has that you know that classical onepiece view of being a god this is the view that we’ve seen over and over again in the series always present in those who present themselves as false deities which is a particularly rampant attitude among the world Nobles

but probably best displayed in an L because he’s one of the few people who’s had the raw power to back up his claims like it looks like Loki does it’s the idea that as a God my rightful place is above you which is very much displayed in Soul do not speak without permission first and silence when I’m talking to you small rubber man and the whole idea of Luffy climbing onto Loki reminds me of the tale of Sun Wukong when he urinated on the palm of Buddha but odor is setting up an immediate contrast here
because we do have this inevitable Clash of sun Gods coming so we’re starting to lay out the personal and philosophical differences between Luffy and Loki but it’s not as Stark of a contrast as you may think at least not at the moment because Luffy and Loki do have some pretty bizarre similarities for one thing it was pretty fun that Loki got Luffy’s name wrong because that is the most Luffy like thing he possibly could have done whenever he meets a new person Luffy can never remember their names he
ends up calling them the wrong thing for a while and then settles for a nickname like how Brule became Branch because it was just easier to remember her based on what she looks like but from similarities back to contrast we have the whole idea of Loki being born into a royal family and inheriting the title of King which is again demonstrated in his Godly attitude this is M by right as opposed to what Luffy is doing which is earn earning the title of King Luffy never says I am the king it is my right he says I will be the pirate king I will

earn it because Luffy grew up in a small village in the middle of nowhere whereas Loki has the infinite resources of Elbo at his disposal and one of the new resources available to you is the C belt which is a channel currently undertaking the project of re-editing the grand Line review video library into themed compilations very long video is perfect for your very long form activities like driving drawing gaming sleeping whatever it is you do for extended periods of time we’ve got you covered for as long
as it takes with no need to pause what you’re doing and pick a new video every 15 minutes or so they’re not just compilations either because throughout the years there have been what I refer to as lost videos and these are Grand Line review projects that were fully written recorded and edited however for various different reasons were never published I’m not going to tell you where they are how many there are or even what they are though because that’s not really in the spirit of one piece isPrince Loki is EVEN MORE Dangerous Than We Thought

it my videos they always if you want them I left everything I own in the link in the the description so if this new long form Channel meets your needs then please do check it out and make sure to subscribe because that is insanely important for small channels and I look forward to seeing you there but for now let’s get back to you me thanks me but then we have another similarity between Luffy and Loki because I was very Prince Loki is EVEN MORE Dangerous Than We Thought intrigued by their brief discussion about Freedom this is a very dangerous thing it is that Loki says because I can
actually imagine Luffy empathizing with the desire for freedom and agreeing with Loki on a matter of principle everyone wants to be free am I right straw hat you know what actually yeah Mr Bad giant man you are right let’s get right on that freedom for you then again it’s not like Luffy’s ever been morally bound to Prince Loki is EVEN MORE Dangerous Than We Thought free people there were tons of prisoners in impelled down who begged him to free them but he didn’t and even when visiting a slave shop on S archipelago Luffy didn’t feel an obligation of much
of anything really he was just disappointed that Cy wasn’t there I do definitely worry about this th because I feel like Luffy can be quite easily convinced with words these semi logical arguments that Luffy just doesn’t have the mental capacity to refute or he does and I think this is more likely to be the Luffy thought process he does understand that because he may feel that he can free Loki as if things get out of hand he’ll just smack him back down that’s the kind of confidence that Luffy Prince Loki is EVEN MORE Dangerous Than We Thought
has in his own abilities we are seeing that throbbing confidence whiping about all over the chapter particularly when Luffy immediately bonds with all of the Fearsome beasts and something I love here is that Luffy has such a warm feeling whilst doing this because it’s not outright stated but he’s having a nostalgic flashback to the animal friends that he made training for 2 years on rakina and as he should because this is a weird fact Luffy has spent about four times as much time with those animals than he has with the straw hats
those animals are much closer friends than the members of the crew but if anyone’s capable of tricking Luffy into doing something that will you know very potentially cause the end of the world here then it would be Prince Loki is EVEN MORE Dangerous Than We Thought the character inspired by a Norse trickster God although weirdly enough I’m actually getting some flashbacks to Blackbeard on Gia here because Luffy is usually capable of picking up on the bad vibes of a major antagonist prity instantly but there are definitely some rare cases where an antagonist will completely fly
under his raer much like how Blackbeard did at first before they had a difference in opinion over Cherry Pie and with Blackbeard that’s because he’s not a complete anti the sister Luffy they have Stark differences you know as physically represented with the sun god in the darkness blob whatever Blackbeard is but in terms of Dreams belief and ambition they are scarily similar and I have that same feeling with Loki at the moment Prince Loki is EVEN MORE Dangerous Than We Thought which gives me some fictional pirate chills because if Loki does turn out to be the villain that we’re being
led to believe he is then he’s very much more on the Blackbeard side of the antagonistic Spectrum someone to take very seriously and he would have to be because at this stage for a character to be worthy of holding the title of arch antagonist then they need to be able to top what we’ve seen to this point they need to be able to top what the five Elder stars and what Kao could do and I think seriously ideologically challenge Luffy and set him up for the final flash with Blackbeard but Luffy also gets what
the internet would describe as triggered in this chapter when Loki starts smack talking Shanks and I’m kind of surprised at how immediately violent Luffy got it was straight into a full gear forth into the face this wasn’t a warning shot Loki had to dodge the attack which I do think is a bit of an overreaction and very much against the philosophy setup all the way back in chapter one of one piece where Shanks really didn’t mind being disrespected and being made a fool of so long as his friends weren’t threatened
so it was really cool to see because we very rarely see that super serious Luffy these days geia fith has kind of taken a lot of that away but it does feel unusually trigger happy for Luffy and I wonder if this is setting up how Loki may break free and I really hope this isn’t the case but maybe Loki could annoy Luffy to the point where Luffy relentlessly attacks him and Luffy’s attacks man they’re quite Powers some perhaps strong enough to break a chain or a piece of tree or something and again I hope not but this does feel a
little bit out of character for Luffy Shanks has been insulted right in front of his face before and Luffy has never gotten this worked up about it so maybe there’s a greater purpose to What’s Happening Here speaking of Mr Shanks though what I find most interesting about this section is that Loki says that he’s been chained up for 6 years and six years ago was a very interesting time for the one piece world because three incredibly important events happened the first is that Robin joined Baroque Works to assist crocodile in
finding pluton the second is that Frankie returned to water 7 and received the blueprints for pluton lots of ancient weapon stuff specifically pluton but the third and by far most public of events is that 6 years ago is when Shanks officially became an emperor of the sea and given that Shanks has a clear history with Loki and that the wild government are aware of and fear Loki enough to slap him with a bounty of 2.
6 billion berries maybe it was Shanks who defeated or otherwise incapacitated Loki which prompted the world government to consider him a threat on the level of a Whitebeard a big mama or a kaido but also this timeline very much fits with what we know of Lola as well because we’ve never been told exactly how long ago it was that Lola rejected Loki’s marriage proposal but what we do know is that Lola arrived on Thriller bar 5 years ago had her Shadow stolen by gecko Moria and then spent 3 years trying to get it back before the straw hats arrived and greatly assisted in that
their Quest I can see it taking loler a year to travel from the new world and ending up in the grand line so it’s feeling like six years ago could have been the Catalyst for everything we’re seeing here very important year for the world where Loki proposed to Lola and she refused which caused her to set out on her own journey and this rejection may even have triggered Loki’s desire to end the world which resulted in him being captured and imprisoned by shs resulted in him being labeled as an emperor of the sea I don’t know though I
swear if Loki’s whole reason for wanting to destroy the world is because he got rejected by a woman I mean not just any woman in his eyes it’s the woman but still and I’m hoping there’s a bit more to it than that with what we know at the moment though the Loki we have seen was a lovely Smiley man prola and became an instrument of the apocalypse postola and it could very well be the case that Charlotte Lola has been one of the single most important decision makers in one piece history because if she married
Loki and the Elbo Giants formed an alliance with the big mom Pirates then it would be similar to The Alliance that big mom made with kaido if not more devastating because the extended armies of the Giants are feared much more than the Beast Pirates and Loki himself is being presented as an individual Equitable to other Emperors of the sea we even see the this expressed in numerical form as mentioned before Loki is an insane 2.
6 billion berries so the world government at least sees this guy as an emperor level threat and I honestly didn’t think that Loki would have a bounty just given how isolated Alo is in terms of bounty rankings by two chapters into his existence but Loki currently has the 11th highest bounty in all of One Piece although I should note that 10th place is currently Shar by seven characters who each have a three billion barer Bounty Luffy kid La roll of the Admirals and the g you almost never see a character in the two billion Berry range though we often skip
straight from 1 billion to three or 4 billion and the only other character who’s ever had a two billion Berry Bounty was Blackbeard after he became an emperor of the sea and even back then his Bounty was lower than Loki’s it isn’t anymore Blackbeard’s worth almost 4 billion now but to think that there was a point in very recent history we’re talking act one of wano recent history where the world government feared Loki more than Blackbeard to think that that was a thing is very exciting of course
