The One Piece manga is entering its most climactic chapters on the island nation of giant warriors. Since the Elbaf arc began in chapter 1126, readers have experienced a continuous string of surprises and classic plot twists.
From Prince Loki to the former Roger Pirates and the Holy Knights, all are creating one of the most massive casts in the series' history. Below is a detailed classification of the Elbaf One Piece characters, from allies to enemies, as of now.
Allied Characters: A Mighty Force Standing with Luffy
The allied forces in Elbaf are a powerful fusion of legendary veterans, young giants, and old friends of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Scopper Gaban and his small family in Elbaf
Many readers wondered who Scopper Gaban was when he unexpectedly reappeared after decades of disappearance. SBS volume 112 officially confirmed his role as the legendary navigator of the Pirate King Roger's crew. Gaban has secretly lived in Elbaf for nearly 20 years under the affectionate name "Ya-san."
His connection to this land is strongly tied to his relationship with the giant warrior Ripley and their young son, Colon. Despite his age, Gaban still demonstrates overwhelming power with his pair of Haki-infused battle axes.
The scene where he blocked an opponent's attack, forcing Luffy to use Gear 5 to compete, partly affirms the prowess of a former king.
Veteran giant warriors and the next generation
Dorry and Brogy: Two legendary former captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates. After rescuing the Straw Hat Pirates in Egghead, they returned to lead the giant warriors in defending the borders.
Jaguar D. Saul: A former Marine Vice Admiral who miraculously survived the Ohara tragedy. He is currently secretly guarding the vast collection of books saved from the Ohara lake in the island nation's underground.
Hajrudin and the New Giant Warrior Pirates: Young faces like the female doctor Gerd, the chef Goldberg, or the leader Road (who imprisoned the Straw Hat Pirates in the LEGO world at the beginning of the arc) are busily preparing weapons for the upcoming battle.
Neutral Characters: Prince Loki – "The Cursed Prince"
Loki represents the volatile neutral force in Elbaf, bearing both arrogance and hatred for the world. Once labeled "The Disgrace of Elbaf" after murdering his late father, King Harald, Loki seized the family treasure he had long coveted.
That treasure is Loki's Devil Fruit - the Mythical Zoan Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhöggr, which allows him to transform into a colossal black dragon.
This power is further amplified by his unique weapon, the colossal divine hammer Ragnir. The strange encounter between the chained Loki and Luffy in the icy dungeon opened up an intriguing agreement, causing many readers to change their view of this prince.
Antagonist Characters: One Piece Holy Knights
Under direct orders from the Five Elders and Imu, the One Piece Holy Knights landed in Elbaf with a cruel plot to abduct the young generation of giants to coerce the nation into surrender.
This brutal expeditionary force includes some of the World Government's most formidable figures:
Saint Figarland Shamrock: The cold, cunning commander-in-chief, behind the bloody purges.
Saint Shepherd Sommers: Possesses thorny abilities from the Iba Iba no Mi Devil Fruit. Thanks to a dark pact with Imu, Sommers possesses a "mechanical heart" that grants unlimited regeneration.
Saint Rimoshifu Killingham: The one who spreads terror through nightmare illusions.
Saint Manmayer Gunko: Uses the power of the Arrow Arrow Fruit to corner Nami, Usopp, and Jinbe.
The intervention of the Holy Knights raises the tempo of the story in Elbaf to a breathless level, leading to unavoidable clashes.
Future Outlook: The Great Battle in Elbaf
The rapid developments in chapter 1188, where Luffy directly confronts the supreme entity Imu, have turned Elbaf into the focal point of the new era.
The intertwined alliance of giants, the former Roger Pirates, and the Holy Knights creates an incredibly complex political chessboard. Elbaf is seen by many readers as the decisive stepping stone to finding the one who will claim the ultimate One Piece treasure.
The appearance of the Elbaf One Piece characters, with their depth in both power and storyline, is bringing the series to its most thrilling chapter. Which transformation of Prince Loki or the legend Scopper Gaban are you most looking forward to seeing on your display shelf?
