Highlights:
*One Piece chapter 1131 revealed that the Accursed Prince Loki bounty is 2.6 billion berries.
*Despite not being a pirate, a bounty this high is really surprising.
The release of the latest chapter of the One Piece manga brought a lot of questions with it. The main inquiry people have is how Loki’s bounty got so high when he was not even mentioned for the most part of the series. Some people think it’s due to inflation while others think that his massive bounty is a result of Loki killing his own father.
Loki Bounty of 2.6 Billion Berries Is Close To Luffy’s Own
Ever since his introduction in chapter 1130, fans have been eagerly waiting to learn more about Elbaph’s prince Loki. After three weeks, readers finally got to see more of the infamous Giant. During his talk with Luffy, we find out he has a bounty of 2.6 billion Berries on his head. Luffy, who has been at the sea for years now, has a bounty of 3 billion Berries. This has led the readers to wonder why Loki has such a high bounty when he’s never even been a pirate. Many theories have come up amongst the fans, and some of them seem pretty plausible.
We also learn that Shanks met Loki when he visited Elbaph 6 years ago. Many people think that the Red Hair captain might have gotten his Yonko status after he helped chain Loki in the Elbaph underworld. Due to Dorry and Brogy being absent, Elbaph was likely in grave danger when Loki first rose to power. If Shanks was there when his terrorizing began, he probably helped the giants restrain Loki. The giants have also revealed that Loki being freed might mean the end of not only Elbaph but also the world.
What’s The Reason Behind Loki’s ‘Special’ Bounty?
According to the pirates accompanying the Straw Hats on the Elbaph ship, Loki is known as the Accursed Prince. Not only did he kill his own father King Harald, but also stole the Legendary Devil Fruit that has been passed down in their family for generations. Most fans think that the World Government put a price on his head after learning about his exploits and how he had to be restrained with Sea Prism Stone at the Elbaph Underworld. Previously, we had learned that after 100 years, the bounties on Dorry and Brogy’s heads have now become 1.8 billion Berries each.
Loki’s bounty being even higher than theirs proves how powerful and dangerous he is. The latest chapter mentions Loki’s “special” bounty, which hasn’t been explained yet. The theories suggest that, unlike normal bounties that work no matter if the person is captured alive or dead, Loki’s bounty might only work if he’s dead. Given he’s so powerful that not even Shanks could kill him, this theory might just be true. Both Shanks and Luffy have greater bounties on their heads. But if adjusted according to the inflation rate, Loki’s bounty might have become higher than Luffy’s by now.
If he has a higher price on his head than Luffy, then there is a chance Loki will be the antagonist of the upcoming Elbaph Arc. In the latest chapter, the prince offered to tell Luffy about Shanks on one condition. If he somehow gets Luffy to free him, Loki will immediately attack everyone on the island and try to take control of it. His bounty is even higher than Zoro’s current price, which suggests we are in for a great battle between the Accursed Prince and Luffy. The powers of Loki’s Devil Fruit will also be revealed soon, giving us a glimpse of his true power.
