The latest developments in One Piece chapter 1169 are making the fan community stir. The tragedy at Aurust Castle has pushed the climax in the land of giant warriors to its climax.
One Piece chapter 1169 with the mournful title “I must perish”, author Oda entertained readers with an extremely majestic double-color page about the Rocks pirates in mysterious black costumes. However, the focus of this chapter lies on the flashbacks and the massacre taking place at Elbaph.
The story takes us back to 14 years ago, when “Red Hair” Shanks went to Elbaph to visit and stayed at the home of Gaban & Ripley. Here, Scopper Gaban – a former member of the Roger gang revealed a shocking secret. Garp told him that Roger actually had a son (Ace). Shanks’ reaction touched many people when he declared that the boy was just like his younger brother.
However, Shanks’ main purpose when coming to Elbaph this time was not just to visit acquaintances. He came to warn King Harald to absolutely not accept the position of God Knight.
The secret of the “Sea Covenant” and the power of Imu
Chapter 1169 revealed Imu’s terrifying manipulation mechanism based on two types of contracts. The Shallow Sea Covenant is similar to the one Shanks possesses, which Imu can only manipulate within a certain radius. The God Riders all carry the Deep Sea Covenant, allowing Imu complete control over them anywhere in the world.
Tragedy occurred at Aurust castle when King Harald realized he was being manipulated by Imu. He ordered all soldiers to kill themselves to avoid being taken advantage of. At this moment, Loki and Jarul rushed in. Harald explains that he used to work for the World Government and has now been betrayed by them.
The Massacre at Castle Aurust and the Birth of “Evil King Harald”
In his final state of consciousness, Harald ordered Loki to finish him off immediately, and told his son to eat the legendary devil fruit stored in Elbaph to defeat him. Immediately after that, Harald lost complete control.
Unlike normal demonic entities, Imu turns Harald into an extremely evil version. This “evil self” declared that he was the one who had to eat the legendary devil fruit, not Loki. An unequal battle broke out, elder Jarul was stabbed in the head with a sword by Harald, and the soldiers were all defeated.
Although Shanks and Gaban sensed the abnormal Haki and rushed to intervene, even these two legends had difficulty facing a completely crazy Harald.
Final twist: Iron Thunder Ragnir appears
According to his father, Loki ran into the treasure to find the legendary devil fruit to turn the situation around. However, just as he reached his last hope, Prince Elbaph was suddenly attacked by a mysterious figure: Iron Thunder Ragnir.
Ragnir’s appearance at the treasure trove right in the middle of the boiling oil fire makes Elbaph’s situation even more unpredictable. Will Loki have time to possess the legendary power to stop his own father, or will Elbaph collapse under Imu’s manipulation?
Next week the story is expected to take a break due to Christmas.
