• Affiliations: Elbaph Royal Family
• Occupations: Prince
• Origin: Grand Line (Elbaph)
• Epithet: "Accursed Prince" (呪いの王子, Noroi no Ōji?); "Shame of Elbaph" (エルバフの恥, Erubafu no Haji?); "Sun God" (太陽の神, Taiyō no Kami?) (self-proclaimed)

• Bounty: 2,600,000,000 Berries (2.6 billion).

• An outcast since childhood, Loki was tasked by Harald to kill him to spare Elbaph from the World Government's attempt to control the giants. After doing so, Loki refused to clear his name earning him a reputation as the "Shame of Elbaph", and he instead set out to sea to take revenge against the World Government. Loki was later brought back to Elbaph by Shanks and imprisoned for the next years before being freed by Monkey D. Luffy and Hajrudin to assist them against the World Government's latest attempt to annex the land of giants. A devotee of the legendary pirate Rocks D. Xebec, Loki has long sought the destruction of the current world that the “Sun God” Nika is prophesied to bring, and in the present day has declared himself as the Sun God who will end the world. As the prince of Elbaph, Loki formerly held a position of deep respect within the kingdom of giants. However, after murdering his father King Harald years ago, Loki became known as the "Shame of Elbaph" and the "Accursed Prince". He has currently been imprisoned in the Underworld of Elbaph for years for his crimes, after he was defeated by "Red-Haired" Shanks.

• Appearance;

• Loki is a very large giant, believed to be the size of Oars, with long, lightly-colored magenta hair. The front of his hair is styled into two thick braids, while the back remains messy and unkempt. His well-defined body is relatively lanky with long legs and muscular, red-tattooed arms. He also sports a pointy goatee, a metallic shell over his nose, and sometimes tends to leave his tongue hanging out while speaking. Having inherited Ancient Giant blood from his father, Loki sports a pair of long black horns extending upwards, with the leftmost one tied in place by a wrapping. In addition, he has eyes with slit pupils and black sclera, a feature that has not been seen in any other giant. Like most giants from Elbaph, Loki dresses in Viking-like fashion, including a black, wide-rimmed helmet that has his horns sticking through, as well as a dark ensemble of gloves, pants, boots, a purple fluffy cape, and a belt sporting a crowned Jolly Roger design worn over his abdomen. Loki also has his eyes covered in bandages, a feature that has been present since childhood.

• Personality:

  “ You're offering me a deal...? In that case... your fate is sealed, my friend!! Die and be at peace!! Yes, I'll be sad, as well as angry, but a warrior doesn't quibble and whine about his way of death!! Instead, I'll feed on this rage and use it to bring the world to ruin!!! ”

  — Loki's defiant warrior spirit.

Loki presents himself as a jovial, brash, and confident warrior who follows his own path. Fancying himself as a destroyer, Loki has long addressed his problems by using violence; as a young child, he was little more than a common bully who used his superior strength to justify his destructive rampages. As a young adult, Loki still regularly shows impetuous behavior and a lack of regard for his surroundings. Even when fighting to defend Elbaph, Loki does not care to restrain his lightning-based attacks even though they can ignite fires which pose a great danger to the Sun World. Due to his pride in his destructive behavior, Loki does not like to be seen as kind, friendly, or heroic. He supports Elbaph's historical warmongering culture and has consistently opposed his father Harald's attempts to change it, instead taking considerable inspiration from Rocks D. Xebec's unabashed dream of toppling the current world order. In the present day, he has declared the intention of ending the world as the self-proclaimed "Sun God", indicating he is still interested in causing global upheaval and fulfilling Elbaph's supposedly apocalyptic texts regarding Nika. Considering himself the strongest in all of Elbaph, Loki does not fear anyone and will make clear to those who wrong him that he will pursue revenge, even if he is in a compromising position where such threats may be met with brutal retaliation. Even as a young child, he did not fear Rocks and even challenged him to a duel at one point despite having been attacked and wounded by the pirate before. He has always been fiercely independent, with Rocks being the only man he has ever desired to follow. Loki expressed outrage when Luffy suggested that he join his crew. To get what he wants in the event he is unable to attain it himself, Loki has no issue resorting to intimidation and threats. Showing weakness to no one, Loki may even bluff threats to get what he wants if he is in no condition to actually fight. Loki may eschew intimidation in favor of attempting to make a deal, claiming he will repay the other party by eliminating any enemy of their choice, showing the vast confidence Loki has in his power. Loki does his best to ensure that he has the upper hand in these dealings at all times, making the other party swear to secrecy and not being quick to fulfill his promises. He will not submit even if an enemy threatens one of his companions, as he believes a warrior should not complain about their way of death, and he will simply use the rage caused by their death to further his own aims. He believes in thoroughly destroying his enemies so as to not be on the receiving end of their own vengeance. In casual conversation, Loki generally acts uncouth, not caring to remember strangers' names and wanting to dictate the discussion. He is quite blunt, with no qualms about belittling the weakness of his friends and allies. Should he hear the name of an enemy, he will make no secret of his hatred of them, though he may claim to be kidding if his words trigger a strong response from the other party. Loki talks roughly even to those he cares about, but his coarse words belie a genuine interest in their well-being, which has been noted by both Harald and Mosa. Loki has shown giant supremacy beliefs, which have historically been held by much of Elbaph's population, saying he refuses to take orders from a human; he also echoed Elbaph's beliefs regarding outsiders to denigrate the foreigner Ida and his half-brother Hajrudin. However, Loki is clearly not as small-minded now, in large part because of the love he received from Elbaph's social outcasts; while he initially hurled accusations that Ida was trying to steal his birth mother's status, Loki later became enraged when he learned that Estrid's village had poisoned Ida because of these very same accusations. He does still possess pride in his heritage, though, which was displayed when he expressed resentment at Hajrudin trusting outsiders to defend Elbaph over him. Much of Loki's violent and antisocial behavior, in fact, stems from and masks a deep longing for familial love, which was denied to him by his biological mother since the day he was born. It was said that Loki gave up on love when he was just a few months old, and he showed himself to be very distrusting of anyone trying to enter his life, such as his father, and his discomfort with the people of Elbaph led to him going to great lengths to escape and find freedom. Before receiving enough inspiration from Rocks to pursue a large-scale destructive goal, Loki despaired so much as a young child as to become suicidal and unsuccessfully attempt to kill himself at least once. However, Loki has since come to recognize the love that members of his family like Harald and Ida have shown to him, and though he does not care to show much affection, he has done his best to return this love through acts of practical service. Many of Loki's recent outbursts and vendettas have been for the sake of his loved ones, a major example being his destruction of Brewers Village after their actions against Ida, which even the pacifist Harald recognized as a pure demonstration of Loki's love. It was in this moment, while blinded with rage, that Loki unabashedly stated his love for someone for the first time, and Loki has been shown to weep openly when he loses people he cares for. It is apparent that Loki has matured enough that he no longer directly harms others for no reason, least of all his family. Though he went through with it out of necessity, even Loki considers patricide to be an unconscionable act. Although he did not consider it worthwhile to make his case before Elbaph regarding his role in Harald's death, Loki possesses strong regret for it and cannot help but interject when directly accused of cold-hearted murder. Like several other characters, Loki has a unique laughing style: "Dogahaha" (Dogahaha?). Relationships Family

• Elbaph royal family; Ida † Harald † Estrid † Older brother † Hajrudin Loki.
• Harald: Since first meeting his son at a few months old, Harald loved Loki and took pride in his progeny. However, Harald's frequent absences and Loki already forsaking love caused him to resent and distrust his father. At age, Loki did not believe his father cared enough about him to return to Elbaph if he was in trouble and was surprised when Harald indeed did so, though he tried to rationalize it as a coincidence. In their limited time together, Harald was shown to react strongly whenever Loki lashed out, though he believed his younger son would grow to help Elbaph and formally requested that Loki and Hajrudin do their best to work together. Despite their disagreements, on the day Harald died, he put his trust in his son to kill him and assume the throne of Elbaph, while Loki, though loyal enough to obey this command and knowing his father was being corrupted, took no pleasure in having to kill his father. Loki ultimately expressed his love for his father in a resentful outburst about the toll being put on him to commit patricide, and Harald, recognizing the kindness and love behind Loki's coarse words and violent actions, told his son he loved him too, and Loki wept uncontrollably during and immediately after the incident. Though he has always opposed Harald's pacifistic nature and attempted reforms, Loki knew and understood that his father only had the benefit of Elbaph in mind and was devastated at the ironic tragic end Harald received for it. Going against his father's last request, he maintained silence about the truth to protect Harald's reputation as a great king. Though he allowed the rest of Elbaph to believe he had killed Harald for personal gain, in truth Loki is highly bothered by this fictitious idea and could not help but speak up for his true feelings when Hajrudin directly accused him. During his first direct confrontation with Imu, Loki proudly declared that Harald was his father.

• Estrid Being her biological son, in infancy Loki craved his mother Estrid's touch. However, because of his strange-looking face and eyes, Estrid was repulsed enough by her son to immediately reject him and even attempt to kill him. Though this murder attempt failed, Estrid made sure that the guards kept Loki away from her and covered his eyes; this devastated Loki as a result and caused him to give up on love. Though Estrid died when Loki was no more than a year old, he has never forgotten her treatment of him, even remembering how she cast him into the Underworld. Thus, he possesses nothing but absolute hatred toward his birth mother and eventually came to recognize Ida as his real mother instead.

• Hajrudin Loki tormented Hajrudin since childhood. Loki and his older half-brother Hajrudin had a troubled relationship for a long time, with a young Loki taking advantage of his superior size and social status to physically bully the smaller Hajrudin and belittle his illegitimate parentage, while Hajrudin was trying to defend their father's dominion from Loki's violent outbursts. Hajrudin also became enraged when Loki degraded his mother Ida and her outsider status. Although Harald asked his sons to work together to help Elbaph in the future, there is no indication that they ever put aside their differences and collaborated during Harald's lifetime. Loki and Hajrudin somewhat reconciling. Loki did not inform Hajrudin of the true circumstances behind Harald's murder, allowing Hajrudin to believe that his half-brother was a heartless killer along with the rest of Elbaph.

In the present day, Hajrudin desperately tried to stop Monkey D. Luffy from freeing Loki, and as he stood by a subdued Loki, Hajrudin became so enraged over Harald's death that he visibly considered killing his half-brother. Hajrudin's accusations caused Loki to defend himself; finally, at Scopper Gaban's suggestion, Loki went ahead and shared the true account. With Gaban's backing, Hajrudin believed Loki's words and apologized for his accusations, asking Loki to fight alongside him for Elbaph's sake.

• Ida: “ Ida ain't gonna die, is she?!! Because she's the only mother I have!!! ” — Loki to Ida's murderers. Despite not being her offspring, Hajrudin's mother Ida always cared for Loki and doted on him whenever she could, being aware of his loneliness and making clear that he was always welcome to live with her and Hajrudin. Initially, Loki resented Ida's attention toward him and lashed out at her, belittling her outsider status and accusing her of trying to usurp his birth mother's status as queen. As time went on, however, Loki started hanging around Ida's bar more often, and his perception of her softened as a result, though he did not readily make this apparent. When Ida fell ill, Loki delivered her a bull to eat, citing that he wanted the bar to be open so he could keep hanging out there; one of Ida's attendants noted this as a display of love from the impudent Loki. Ultimately, Loki made clear his true feelings about Ida upon learning that his birth mother's village had poisoned her; his care for Ida drove him to burn down the village in retaliation, and during his attack he openly declared that Ida was his only mother.

• Regent: After Estrid's death, her older brother was placed in charge of Loki's care. The regent made no secret of his disdain for Loki, calling him a "horrid thing" and feeding him rotten scraps. Loki has not been shown reacting to the regent's abuse but was seen smirking after it was reported that the regent had notably been found dead in the Underworld.

As the prince of Elbaph, Loki was born as a respected individual within the kingdom of giants; his birth was toasted during the Winter Solstice Festival. However, Estrid's hatred for her son coupled with a series of great hardships on the land caused rumors to spread that Loki was "accursed" and that his curse was the reason for these tribulations, making him an outcast despite his royal status. In turn, Loki inflicted wanton destruction on Elbaph's villages as a child whenever Harald was away, causing dread among the people. Loki hated his homeland, viewing its shift toward pacifism as pathetic, even as a child. expressed the desire to set sail and live freely. The residents of Brewers Village, where Loki's biological mother came from, seemed to like him, but only because of the increased social standing they received from Estrid's queenship. They informed Loki that they had poisoned Ida under the impression that he would approve, but this actually enraged Loki and caused him to burn the village down, leading to him being imprisoned.

After killing Harald, Loki had no interest in explaining the ordeal to his countrymen and ruling over them because he knew how they would receive the story, not caring to try and persuade them that he was not a depraved murderer. Indeed, this belief quickly took hold in Elbaph, and as Loki expected, they reconciled this belief with the violent acts (both justified and not) he had previously committed and his accursed reputation to depict him as a villain. The only residents to know the truth of the matter—Jarul, Scopper Gaban, and the surviving castle guards—were instructed by Loki to not divulge the truth, and the guards accompanied him out to sea. When Loki was taken down and brought back to Elbaph, most of the populace wished to have him executed; Hajrudin remarked that the sentiment would likely resurface even after years if Loki reappeared before his countrymen. It was only in the present day, when Jarul told the populace what really happened, that they learned of Loki's innocence. In spite of Loki's general disdain for his country, he has expressed interest in defending it from the World Government's attack in the present day, viewing it as important for natives like himself to defend their homeland.

Loki has befriended the giant animals residing in the Underworld, and they have been his companions since his childhood. In current times, they have defended the imprisoned Loki from anyone who may threaten him. When Gunko and Shamrock tried using one of them as a hostage, Loki said he would be sad and angry for the beast to be killed but would not give in to the Knights' demands to spare it. While imprisoned, Loki has also recruited humans who have invaded Elbaph as allies, though he has a low view of their strength and considers them little more than cannon fodder, which he has said right in front of them.

• Jarul:

Loki and Jarul were first seen interacting when they were both summoned to Aurust Castle on the day of Harald's death. Loki was rude to the old warrior, joking about him living too long and arguing with him about Harald's reforms; Jarul was appalled at the impetuous violence Loki displayed. However, the two then worked together to stop the corrupted Harald, with Jarul risking his life so Loki could acquire the legendary Devil Fruit before Harald. Afterwards, Jarul reluctantly agreed to Loki's demand that the truth of the affair be kept a secret, but once Loki was brought back to Elbaph, Jarul worked to spare his life by pleading for amnesty from execution. When the Knights of God launched a full-on assault of Elbaph, Jarul took this development to declare Loki's innocence to the rest of the populace.

• Rocks D. Xebec, Loki is brutally defeated by Rocks. Loki has idolized the pirate Rocks D. Xebec since soon after they first met. In their initial meeting, Loki considered Rocks as just another human and was outraged to receive orders from him, resulting in a fight that Loki quickly lost. Afterwards, however, Loki overheard Rocks telling Harald his plan to become the King of the World and was awestruck, believing he had found his calling in life. Loki once stated to Rocks that he believed the pirate was Nika, suggesting he anticipated the pirate triggering the prophesied end of the world. For the next years Loki closely followed Rocks' exploits, and every time the pirate came to Elbaph Loki would plead to join his crew. Rocks always refused and brushed him off, and when Loki challenged him to a fight, Rocks did not hold back and brutalized him, though this did not change Loki's admiration of him.

Though he witnessed Rocks eventually end his friendship with Harald, Loki did not give up hope that the pirate would return to Elbaph again, until one day he learned that Rocks had died, which caused him to weep openly.

• Monkey D. Luffyl Loki attacking Luffy after being scolded by both him and Nami. When the pirate Monkey D. Luffy ran into him by chance, Loki immediately attempted to enlist him to find the key to his chains. He showed frustration with Luffy when the pirate interjected and became distracted in their conversation and found himself being attacked by Luffy after casually insulting Shanks, who, unbeknownst to him, is a hero of the pirate. Still, Loki took advantage of this relationship by offering to reveal information about Shanks in return for being freed, and despite knowing of Loki's status in Elbaph, Luffy agreed to this deal. Because he was unsure of Loki's true motives, Luffy relied on the belief that he would beat the giant in combat if he threatened his friends. After Luffy's attempt to free Loki was interrupted by Hajrudin's crew, Luffy attempted to feed Loki but initially overwhelmed him with careless servings of meat and hot soup, angering the giant. Recognizing the tension between Loki and his countrymen, Luffy supported his bid for freedom by inviting the giant to join his crew, which outraged the fiercely independent Loki. While he was ultimately willing to work together with Luffy, Loki remained dismissive of him.

• Shanks: Shanks, who also fought in Aurust Castle on the day of Harald's death, was the one who captured Loki years ago for reasons unknown. Loki still holds a grudge towards Shanks up to this day, even projecting his anger towards Shanks' twin brother, Shamrock. Loki has described Shanks as a "coward," although it is unknown if this was entirely meant to rile Luffy up or if he perceived Shanks' methods in capturing him in that way.

• Charlotte Lola: Loki proposes to Lola. Loki is said to have fallen in love with Charlotte Lola at first sight. However, Lola did not reciprocate the prince's feelings and ran away in order to find her own true love. Lola's rejection of Loki is notable given she would go on to develop a reputation for proposing to thousands of people, often at first sight. Although it is unknown why Loki fell in love with Lola, it can be assumed that his love for her is at least more than simply based on their physical appearance, as he was unwilling to marry Chiffon in her stead. Given that Loki would not have met Lola until he exiled himself from Elbaph, the true nature and purpose of the proposed wedding are currently uncertain, as is Big Mom's assertion that this marriage would have aligned her with Elbaph.

Enemies

World Government Loki has always hated the World Government, particularly for its role in the demise of Rocks. He said he could not forgive Harald for becoming their lapdog, and after the government's corruption forced Loki to slay his father, he decided to enact a campaign of retribution against it despite its massive scale making his quest extremely risky. Loki made himself well-known to the World Government during his time at sea, being regarded as dangerous enough to warrant a bounty of Beli. Following his captivity, the World Government was interested enough in Loki's power to have Figarland Shamrock and Manmayer Gunko personally recruit him into the Knights of God. Loki bluntly rejected this invitation, as he considered the Celestial Dragons as "garbage", causing an irate Gunko to attack him and his companions, though to no avail when Loki declared he would never stoop from a warrior to the level of "trash" as the Celestial Dragons. Afterwards, Loki was cocky enough to threaten revenge on them, provoking Shamrock himself into action and causing him to inflict severe wounds on Loki using Cerberus. When he is freed, Loki unleashes his wrath upon the Knights of God by smashing the crumbling Shepherd Sommers.

• Nerona Imu: As the King of the World and secret leader of the World Government who manipulated Harald to enslave Elbaph, Loki regards Imu as his archenemy and wants him dead for his actions in enslaving Harald and making him kill his father. Loki first learnt about Imu from Shanks. Despite the latter's warnings about Imu's power and influence, Loki still chose to risk taking revenge alone though was never able to successfully find him. They first met when Imu came to Elbaph and the latter admitted he was the one who manipulated Harald to enslave Elbaph. Loki was profoundly furious at how Imu regarded Harald as his servant and Imu coldly disregard coercing his father to an early death by claiming to be the one who was inconvenienced from having to give and lose a Depths Covenant for nothing. When Imu demanded that Loki and Luffy surrender or die, Loki still defied Imu's authority, causing Imu to declare that both Loki and Luffy were to be erased by him. As he takes great pride in Elbaph's warrior culture, Loki was annoyed at Imu refusing to take their duel seriously and was confused by his ramblings regarding the Void Century. Loki was similarly furious at Imu for using underhanded tactics in order to kidnap the children of Elbaph.

“ Years ago, a man named Red-Haired Shanks captured Loki... but prior to that, no one was able to stop him... if you don't know what kind of power Loki has, or what damage he might... ”

— Scopper Gaban attempting to warn Luffy against freeing Loki. As prince of Elbaph, he previously held authority and influence over the warriors and citizens of Elbaph, which is said to be the strongest kingdom in the entire world. Following his sentencing as a criminal and subsequent punishment, however, Loki does not appear to hold royal privileges anymore. Still, in spite of his current predicament, Loki has retained influence over a number of wild beasts that he befriended in his childhood, as well as a small group of loyal humans. This allows Loki to still threaten anyone into cooperating, assuming they manage to survive long enough in Elbaph's Underworld to meet him. The World Government issued a special bounty of Beli on Loki, although the specifics behind why that bounty is considered "special" to begin with are currently unknown. This consideration has led him to being offered a position amongst the Knights of God. Loki is shown to have strong willpower, having endured massive bursts of Supreme King Haki from both his father and Xebec during one of their duels as a child. Along with Monkey D. Luffy, Loki is immune to Imu's "Domi Reversi". Tactical Skills

Loki is reputedly an extremely cunning and conniving trickster who will say anything in order to accomplish his goals. Upon noticing a connection between Luffy and Shanks, Loki provoked Luffy by insulting Shanks and then used his knowledge of Shanks' whereabouts as leverage in a deal with Luffy to secure his freedom. After being injured by the Knights of God and partly freed from his chains by Luffy and Zoro, Loki demonstrated acting skills by downplaying the severity of his condition and putting on a bluff of being prepared to fight and lay waste to Elbaph if he was not freed from his last shackle.

• Race: Giants Statistics Japanese Name: 巨人族 Romanized Name: Kyojin-zoku Official English Name: Giant Features: Largest known race (over m in height) Homeland: Various islands (including Elbaph)

  Giants are a race of humanoids that vastly overshadow the other known races of the world in size. The most commonly known giants are those from the island of Elbaph. There are also different tribes of giants such as the ancient giants and the unknown tribe of the Yeti Cool Brothers. Appearance Being giants, they are literally giant humans in appearance, although many giants seen have been noted as having more exaggerated proportions and features than most humans. They are so large that when they cry, their tears can cause large areas on the ground to appear flooded. They are not to be confused with large-sized humans such as the Franky Family's Kairiki Destroyers or Buccaneers such as Bartholomew Kuma. To a giant, these large humans are no more than "oversized pipsqueaks." Large-sized humans, at their tallest, reach the knee height of a giant; a normal human only reaches as high as the ankle in comparison. Edward Newgate, a large-sized human, has shown that his entire body is barely taller than the giant Lonz's head alone. Normal giants are meters tall at minimum, while the tallest known human, Charlotte Linlin, is only meters tall. Overall, normal giants tend to hover around meters in height when fully grown, with Morley currently being the shortest known giant at meters tall and Road being the tallest known normal giant at meters. Giants have a lifespan three times that of humans, making them the most long-lived of all the races. They are capable of living for years, and in rare cases even over years. However, their bodies also age and develop at a slower rate, in a way which appears to be proportionate to human growth. It takes roughly three years for a giant to develop by one "human year"; Harald was explicitly noted to be developmentally equivalent to a -year-old human when he was. Thus, it can be observed that a typical giant does not reach adulthood and bodily maturity until they are nearly six decades old. The ancient giants are a unique tribe of giants that lived a long time ago and were the original conquerors of the New World. According to Road, pure-blooded ancient giants no longer exist, although there are a few modern giants that still have traces of their blood. The inheritance of an ancient giant's blood is not guaranteed, as while Loki possesses the trademark horns and beyond-normal size from both his parents, Harald and Estrid, his older half-brother, Hajrudin, from the same father, was born a regular-sized giant without said horns. The only known pure-blooded ancient giant is Oars, who also had a descendant that inherited many of his traits, Little Oars Jr. The most distinctive characteristic of ancient giants was their sheer size, being extremely tall and much bigger than the average giant, with Oars and Oars Jr. both reaching meters, or nearly feet, in height, which is three times the height of a typical giant. Other distinct features of ancient giants include a pair of horns on their heads and sharp teeth; also, while normal giants have the same skin tone as humans, ancient giants may have uniquely colored skin, with Oars' being red and Oars Jr.'s being green. Overall, these traits give ancient giants a resemblance to ogres or oni. Both Oars and Oars Jr. also wear relatively little clothing, with most of their attire being rather primitive. The Numbers are a specific subset of ancient giants that were created artificially through gigantification experiments. Overall, despite sharing traits with the original tribe, they are considered flawed for some reason and have limited intelligence.

Elbaph is a nation in the New World that is inhabited by giants, and is unaffiliated with the World Government. Officially, Elbaph Island (エルバフ島, Erubafu-tō?) contains the Warland Kingdom (ウォーランド王国, Wōrando Ōkoku?, English versions: "War-Land Kingdom"), but the nation is commonly referred to by the general term "Elbaph". Elbaph has always been a fiercely independent nation renowned for its warmongering culture; it is considered to be the strongest country in the world due to its mighty warriors. During the past century, King Harald sought to shift Elbaph's culture to prioritize scholarship and diplomacy, and pursued affiliation with the World Government. However, the government solely valued Elbaph for its fighting power, creating conflicts that resulted in Harald's death. In the present day, the World Government is actively attempting to annex Elbaph by force. Nerona Imu has equated Elbaph's defiance with the Will of D.

• Geography: “ Plants, trees, vines, flowers, insects, fish, birds, and animals... everything is breathtakingly huge. ” — Louis Arnote's notes on Elbaph. Elbaph as a whole is located east of Wano Country and northeast of Egghead. According to Road, within the sea route between Elbaph and Egghead, there is a stretch of sea that generates a strange mist with sleep-inducing properties. Appropriately enough, both the fauna and flora of Elbaph are overall comparatively huge to those found in most other islands. Pine trees are a common form of vegetation but still enormous compared to regular ones. The same applies to flowers, fish, birds, and even insects, all of which tend to resemble already existing species, except at a greater scale of size. The animals of Elbaph generally consist of those used to temperate forests and other colder environments, like wolves, bears, walruses, owls, and so on, save a few more exceptional species. Snowfall happens in all regions, especially during winter, with a particularly long and destructive cold spell having happened at least once in the country's history. The explorer Louis Arnote declared that the massive size of Elbaph's features defied easy explanation for an outsider, writing that the time lost exploring the island is worthwhile for the adventurer. However, for unknown reasons he cautioned against staying on Elbaph for too long.
• Underworld; Luffy taming beasts in the Underworld. The freezing temperatures, coupled with the multitude of giant, wild beasts that inhabit the mountain range, make the whole territory very desolate and unsuitable for civilization. The same applies to the waters around the island, which feature similarly gigantic fauna and heavy, dense fog. As such, very few settlements appear to exist in these lands besides a mountaintop castle where Road lives and a tavern closer to the seaside, where sunlight is more prominent. Giants may come down to this region for hunting purposes, however, as the resident animals can provide them with ample nourishment. According to Jarul, humans rarely venture beyond the Underworld, so most leave mistakenly believing that it is the extent of Elbaph. According to Loki, this area is so hostile that criminals are often punished by just being sent here, with Loki further describing it as both a prison and an execution ground filled with the bones of giants and humans that have been long buried by the constant snow. Aside from the gigantic fauna that dominates the territory, a few humans who have managed to avoid death for opposing Elbaph are known to barely survive in this region as scavengers, covering themselves in smelly rags in order to avoid being eaten. Both the humans and the beasts are aligned with Loki, who himself was sentenced to imprisonment with seastone chains at the Tree Adam's base.
• Treasure Tree Adam: The Treasure Tree Adam forms the upper regions of Elbaph and thus is considered the backbone of the Warland Kingdom, as its sheer size allows even the already enormous giants to live in settlements above its branches. Its existence also affects the climate of the lower regions, which are deprived of sunlight due to the tree providing them with eternal shade. Notably, an ancient mural depicting what appears to be past events can be found somewhere on Adam's bark. According to Ripley, it was carved by children who lived through the Void Century and has significant historical value for that reason.
• Sun World: The Sun World is the main upper region of Elbaph and where its population primarily lives. Most of the land consists of deciduous forests and plains, as well as urban settlements built by the resident giants. These settlements are built on individual branches of the Adam Tree but have more recently been connected through specially built Branch Routes. A special flying ship known as a Svarr can be used for quick traversal around this region. Interestingly, the climate of the Sun World allows the existence of both Island Clouds and Sea Clouds, which coexist with Adam's branches to form solid ground and landmarks, providing the region with extra land and bodies of water.
