One Piece Fans Fail to Notice a Crucial Character in Elbaf’s Chaos

by

The long-awaited Elbaf Arc of One Piece is growing more thrilling than ever before! Fresh and formidable characters like Loki, Harald, the Giants, and the Holy Knights are being added to the mix. Accompanied by the Giant Pirates, Luffy and his crew sail toward Elbaf for a fresh start in the world’s most powerful nation. The series continues to captivate fans with unexpected plot twists in the Final Saga, and things only seem to be improving. It doesn’t take long for the villains to emerge and cause havoc on the island. Although Luffy’s arrival on the island doesn’t affect the conflict between the Holy Knights and the Giants, his crew inevitably gets caught up in the turmoil as usual.

Without a doubt, Luffy and his companions won’t idle by while Elbaf gets destroyed due to the Holy Knights. As Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji prepared to jump into the fray against the villains, Harald’s backstory was unveiled, providing insight into the truth behind his murder. Moreover, the series is revealing details about Imu, the suspected mastermind of the story who sits on the Empty Throne. With so much action unfolding in this arc, it’s easy to miss Loki’s enigmatic companion, but their potential role in the narrative could prove crucial.

Loki’s Mysterious Friend May Be Someone We Are Familiar With

The character’s true name is yet undisclosed, but Viz Media’s official translation refers to him as “Shaggy.” Interestingly, the name seems similar to “Mosa” in Japanese, which denotes a heavily bearded person, fitting for the Transponder Snail’s appearance. Six years ago, Loki was apprehended by Shanks and imprisoned in the Underworld. Since then, he has been serving his time, and the only solace he found was from a bearded Transponder Snail he obtained earlier. Through this snail, Shaggy could contact him, and an unlikely friendship blossomed, even though they never physically met.

In Chapter 1151, Shaggy revealed to Loki that they wouldn’t be able to communicate anymore due to a difficult situation. Over the years, Loki had shared everything with Shaggy, including secrets from 14 years ago. However, this revelation left Loki worried about Shaggy, as he feared his friend was facing danger once again. But Shaggy assured Loki that the circumstances were not what he imagined them to be. As they ended their call, Mosa expressed gratitude to Loki for being a good friend and offering comfort during their conversations.

It’s clear that this character’s story isn’t wrapping up just yet, due to the emergence of the Transponder snail, some speculate it might be Jarul, but nothing is set in stone. The author might be deliberately keeping the identity under wraps because we’ve encountered them before. Shaggy’s departure could be connected to the ongoing events, as the timing seems too significant to ignore and not merely a coincidence.
