One Piece Chapter 1151 adds a new layer to the mystery surrounding Elbaph’s royal family. The chapter hints that Loki may have murdered his father, King Harald, to protect Elbaph. But was Harald under the control of Imu?
While the reason remains unclear, two moments raise major questions. Loki tells his brother, Hajrudin, to beg him for answers about their father, and Imu tells Sommers that Elbaph would have already fallen if Harald hadn’t messed up. These clues point towards Harald being involved in a secret deal with the World Government and Imu.

Prince Loki Confronts Hajrudin About Harald
One Piece Chapter 1151 saw Loki ask his brother, Hajrudin, to beg for answers about what really happened to their father, but Hajrudin refuses. This confirms for the first time that there is more to Harald’s death than what has been told. Loki’s words carry the weight of a deep secret that even his brother doesn’t have any clue about.
Loki seems convinced that what he did was necessary. His refusal to explain himself unless Hajrudin begs could mean that he believes the truth holds the power to change the entire perception the giants have of him. It also shows that Loki is burdened by what happened, and it was likely a decision he took to protect the people of Elbpah.
Imu’s Statement Reveals a Hidden Deal
One Piece Chapter 1151 also showed a brief exchange between Imu and Sommers as they watch Elbaph descend into chaos. When Sommers asks how long the carnage will continue, Imu replies that it will carry on until the country’s spirit breaks. Imu then adds that if Harald had not messed up in the past, Elbaph would’ve already been conquered.
With this one sentence, Imu confirms that Harald was working with Imu or the World Government in some way, possibly to bring Elbaph under their influence.

The nature of the deal is not yet known, but based on context, it may have involved Elbaph becoming a mercenary ally to the World Government. In exchange, Harald might have been promised protection or power. This would explain why Loki had to kill him. If Harald planned to hand over Elbaph, Loki’s act may have been one of rebellion, not betrayal.
The Legendary Devil Fruit
Another important detail is the existence of a Devil Fruit tied to Elbaph’s royal bloodline. The fruit has not been named, but it is said to have a legendary status. This fruit may be connected to an ancient prophecy or tied to the Sun God figure that Loki believes himself to be.
If Imu offered Harald this fruit in return for his loyalty, then its use could’ve brought Elbaph under the World Government’s control. Loki may have seen this as the final step in losing their independence. Killing his father before he could eat the fruit would have been Loki’s last chance to protect Elbaph’s future.
Giants in Chaos, Imu Takes the Stage
Meanwhile, chaos spreads across Elbaph. The old giant hero Jarul is marked for death by Brogy and Dorry, who now see themselves as kings of a new era. The two captains have been turned into monstrous beings, and their Haki is causing other giants nearby to transform as well. Even the children and mothers of Elbaph are caught in the conflict as Killingham unleashes more destruction.
Imu reveals that they no longer need to hold back. With the fall of Elbaph underway, they can now break the country’s spirit completely. This confirms that the war is not just about territory, but about domination of the soul of a nation. Imu clearly blames Harald for past failures, which could mean he either resisted them at the last minute or failed to complete the deal.
Was Harald Under Imu’s Control
One Piece Chapter 1151 hints at a deeper history behind why Loki murdered King Harald. It is likely that Harald made a secret deal with the World Government that would have cost Elbaph its freedom. Loki may have taken extreme action to prevent this, killing his father before he could eat a legendary Devil Fruit that would seal the kingdom’s fate.
With Loki having obtained this legendary Devil Fruit, it will be interesting to see how he uses it to stop Imu’s current rampage. Imu’s influence, the power of the Devil Fruit, and the legend of the Sun God all seem tied to one crucial moment: the death of a king who may have traded his kingdom’s future. Fans will hope Oda sheds some more light on Loki’s past in the upcoming One Piece chapters.
