The story’s focus on villains was anticipated, especially with the introduction of the God’s Knights and the Five Elders. It became clear these villains were designed to push the heroes to become more powerful. Meanwhile, the arc involving the giants of Elbaph established them as a formidable warrior race, hinting at powerful new characters, with Loki being the most promising. He always seemed different due to his unique lineage, but recent reveals have only amplified his strength. The latest developments suggest Loki’s power level is immense, potentially making him a truly difficult opponent—even for Luffy.
