The latest chapter of “One Piece” manga has opened more speculations over future arcs. One of this is the Elbaf Arc, which fans are waiting to happen soon. Also, with the ongoing alliance between Luffy and Capone Bege, Loki and Pudding’s roles are mysteries that Eiichiro Oda still has to explain.

Elbaf Is The Strongest Kingdom

Elbaf is reportedly the strongest kingdom in the world because the strength of its army is unparalleled. It is a place inhabited by giants but not all giants originated from Elbaf. The location of the said kingdom is currently unknown but it is in the New World, the second half of Grand Line. Big Mom, also known as Charlotte Linlin, has always wanted her hands on Elbaf. She almost had the chance to have it when one of her daughters got engaged to Elbaf’s prince.

As one of the Yonko, she has always been obsessed with power. With Pudding and Sanji's upcoming arranged marriage, she is planning to kill Sanji and his family to get Germa. Germa is ruled by the Vinsmokes and it has one of the strongest armies in the world. Possessing Germa would give Big Mom more power, maybe she would even invade Elbaf with its army. It is still unknown why all the giants, including Elbaf, hate Big Mom so this might be revealed soon.

Are Loki And Pudding Really Villains?

Loki was the Elbaf prince who wanted to marry Big Mom’s daughter, Lola. Big Mom saw this as an opportunity to conquer Elbaf so the two were engaged, but Lola ran away and the marriage did not happen. Loki was finally mentioned in “One Piece” Chapter 858, retelling the story of the failed engagement and Big Mom’s conspiracy, which earned her more hate from the giants. Oda putting Loki in the light might be foretelling that Loki will be playing a big role in the Elbaf arc most likely as a villain.

At the present, it is highly debated whether or not Charlotte Pudding is actually a villain. Though Pudding has expressed her disgust over her engagement with Sanji, she readily gave in to the idea when her mom planned to kill the Vinsmokes, even acting that she was in love with Sanji. However, there were times that she was probably genuinely nice and was even honest with Sanji and Luffy, only about her true identity that makes a fan wonder if Pudding is bad or good. Her hidden third-eye, as well as her cruel upbringing under Big Mom’s supervision, may have added to the factors of her being bad.
