Warning : This article contains spoilers for One Piece’s – Elbaf Arc.
One Piece Chapter 1169 spoilers have started circulating online, and early leaks suggest that the upcoming chapter could be one of the most emotionally heavy and lore-packed chapters in the Elbaf arc.
From shocking revelations involving Shanks and Scopper Gaban to the tragic downfall of King Harald and the mysterious power surrounding Loki, these spoilers hint at events that may completely change how fans view Elbaf, the Giants, and even the World Government’s influence.
One Piece Chapter 1169 Spoilers – Shanks and Gaban’s Conversation Begins

According to the One Piece Chapter 1169 spoilers, the chapter is expected to begin with a calm yet extremely important conversation between Shanks and Scopper Gaban. This chitchat may not seem dangerous on the surface, but it reportedly carries a massive secret connected to Gol D. Roger’s legacy.
The spoilers suggest that Gaban might reveal to Shanks that Garp once told him about Roger having a son. This moment potentially confirms that Gaban, Rayleigh, and Shanks were all aware of Ace’s true identity. This revelation naturally raises a haunting question — if they knew Ace was Roger’s son, why didn’t they intervene during the Marineford incident?
Rather than giving a direct answer, the chapter may intentionally leave this as an emotional mystery, pushing readers to question the sacrifices and choices made by Roger’s generation.
King Harald’s Betrayal and Imu’s Hidden Control

The One Piece Chapter 1169 spoilers also expand on the shocking twist from the previous One Piece Chapter 1168, where King Harald becomes a Holy Knight but is ultimately betrayed by Imu. The leaks strongly suggest that Imu gains control over Harald’s body and mind, turning him into a puppet.
This revelation may finally explain a long-standing mystery from Chapter 1152 — why the Giants attacked their own king. According to the spoilers, Harald himself ordered the Giant soldiers to attack him, as he was no longer in control of his own actions. When Loki and Jarul arrived at the castle, they were left shocked and confused, unaware that their king had already lost his freedom.
The chapter possibly confirms that becoming a Holy Knight requires a price far greater than loyalty — one’s very soul.
Shanks’ Warning to King Harald and the Dark Secret of the Holy Knights

One of the most important moments in One Piece Chapter 1169 is expected to involve Shanks’ true reason for coming to Elbaf. The spoilers indicate that Shanks originally wanted to warn King Harald not to accept the position of God’s Knight.
This was a conversation Shanks could not have in Mary Geoise. The chapter may reveal that Shanks already knew the horrifying truth — once someone accepts the Holy Knight ritual, their soul is essentially handed over to Imu, allowing complete control. This could explain why Shanks himself refused the position, despite being powerful enough to qualify.
If these spoilers are accurate, Holy Knights are not warriors of justice, but rather Imu’s dolls, stripped of free will.
Loki’s Tragic Choice and the Fall of Elbaf’s King

The emotional core of One Piece Chapter 1169 spoilers revolves around Loki. The leaks suggest that King Harald finally tells Loki, Jarul, and the Giant soldiers the truth — that he worked with the World Government and was betrayed.
In a heartbreaking moment, Harald reportedly asks Loki to kill him and to tell Elbaf the truth. This single request may completely erase Loki’s image as a villain. Instead, the chapter seems to frame him as a tragic hero — a son forced to live with unimaginable guilt.
The emotional weight of this moment is comparable to asking Luffy to kill Ace. Loki being imprisoned for six years suddenly feels like a cruel misunderstanding rather than punishment for a crime.
The Legendary Devil Fruit and the Mystery of Ragnir

Another massive highlight in the One Piece Chapter 1169 spoilers is the introduction of Elbaf’s Legendary Devil Fruit. King Harald allegedly orders Loki to eat this fruit, stating that without it, Loki would never be able to defeat him.
However, the identity of the fruit remains unknown. The spoilers hint at a possible connection to Rocks D. Xebec, who may have previously spoken about this legendary power. Some theories suggest this fruit could be similar in importance to Luffy’s Devil Fruit — possibly even a God-type Devil Fruit.
Things take an unexpected turn when Loki enters the treasure room and is attacked by Ragnir Hammer. This raises several possibilities:
- Ragnir may possess its own will
- The hammer itself could be the Devil Fruit
- Or Ragnir might be testing Loki’s worthiness
If Ragnir chooses Loki as its owner, his power level could reach terrifying heights.
One Piece Chapter 1169 Spoilers – Harald Loses Control Completely

As Imu’s control deepens, King Harald reportedly loses his sense of self entirely, transforming into a brutal and overpowered monster. The spoilers mention that even Jarul is severely injured during this rampage.
Shanks and Gaban attempt to stop Harald, but their efforts are said to be pointless, emphasizing just how absolute Imu’s control truly is. This scene mirrors past tragedies involving characters like Xebec, reinforcing the theme that absolute power comes at the cost of humanity.
Final Thoughts – Loki’s Fate and What Comes Next
The chapter seemingly ends with more questions than answers. Despite sacrificing everything to save Elbaf, Loki receives no immediate support, possibly because Jarul loses his memory from the attack and others remain unaware of the full truth.
Loki’s character is now being framed as legendary, comparable to Rocks D. Xebec himself. His silence, suffering, and eventual decision to leave Elbaf could explain why he remains misunderstood — even by Hajrudin.
If these spoilers are accurate, One Piece Chapter 1169 may mark the true beginning of Loki’s legend.
