Elbaf’s Lack of a Main Antagonist
The Elbaf Arc has gripped the attention of fans, delivering an exhilarating start to the adventure. As Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates navigate this intriguing land of giants, they inch closer to confronting formidable opponents. Chapter 1134 marks a pivotal moment in the narrative, unveiling antagonists whose identities are sure to take fans by surprise.
Anticipation is building within the fan community as they eagerly speculate how these newly revealed villains will influence the upcoming chapters.

Shanks’s Brother Shows Up in Elbaf
Initially, fans speculated whether Loki would serve as the arc’s central villain, given his background as the Accursed Prince of Elbaf. Theories circulated about his potential connection to apocalyptic events tied to the Sun God. However, as interactions unfolded, it became clear that Loki’s characterization is not aligned with that of a traditional antagonist. While he possesses a tempestuous nature, he does not function as an outright villain in the broader narrative context.
In a surprising twist, the long-anticipated invaders have emerged in Chapter 1134. The finale of this chapter showcases a mysterious summoning circle from which two significant characters materialize—one strikingly resembling Shanks, likely his twin brother, and a fascinating new character whose identity remains shrouded in mystery.

The Invaders Might Be Warning the Giants
The appearance of Shanks’s twin brother alongside a new character suggests their possible affiliation with the God’s Knights, potentially dispatched by Imu or a member of the Five Elders. Their precise motivations for arriving in Elbaf remain uncertain. It is unlikely they would engage in open warfare against a nation protected by a Yonko, indicating that their visit could serve a more diplomatic or foreboding purpose. They may be delivering a cautionary message regarding an imminent conflict.
This scenario could create a tense atmosphere in Elbaf, offering the Straw Hat Pirates a narrow window to prepare for the challenges ahead. Alternatively, their presence may signal an intention to lay siege to Elbaf while the Straw Hats are distracted, which would set the stage for an electrifying confrontation between Luffy and these invaders—one of whom bears a striking resemblance to Shanks.
Regardless of how the plot develops, the confirmation of Elbaf’s primary villain introduces new layers to the storyline, ensuring that fans remain deeply engaged as more plot details emerge in the forthcoming chapters.
