This article contains spoilers about King Harald in One Piece. Proceed with caution.
Who Is King Harald in One Piece?
King Harald is celebrated as the last known ruler of the Giants, a wise leader who nurtured relationships beyond Elbaf. Revered as the greatest king, he is also the father of Hajurdin and Loki. Unlike many giants defined by their ferocity, Harald was a diplomatic king who chose peace and unity over conflict. His lineage traces back to the Ancient Giants, adding to his character’s depth and strength.
Who Killed King Harald in One Piece?
Loki, the tragic prince cursed with snake-like eyes, was foretold to kill his father, King Harald. The giants in the story believed Loki fulfilled this prophecy, murder motivated by a desire for the royal family’s legendary devil fruit. Yet, a flashback reveals a different narrative—Harald was betrayed and stabbed by his own guards. The question remains: was it betrayal, or were they turned against him by an unseen force like Imu?
What Devil Fruit Did King Harald Have?
As of now, King Harald’s connection to devil fruits is unconfirmed within the Elbaf arc. Nevertheless, it is widely known that the royal family of Elbaf has guarded a legendary devil fruit for generations. The flashback showcasing King Harald’s demise hints at the importance of this fruit and its role within the narrative.
King Harald’s Powers
Harald’s bloodline links him to the Ancient Giants, marking him as an unmatched powerhouse. His impressive reputation is solidified by his invitation from Rocks D. Xebec to join the infamous Rocks Pirates—an affirmation of his strength. Within the rich tapestries of Loki’s backstory, Oda gradually reveals Harald’s exceptional capabilities.
Known for unparalleled strength, Ancient Giants outshine their counterparts, making King Harald an extraordinary warrior from an early age. His prowess is such that he could single-handedly topple nations. This is why characters like Imu consider the Giants an unrivaled natural force.
The recent chapter 1155 of One Piece showcases King Harald as one of the era’s top swordsmen, engaging in a fierce duel with Rocks at the Holy Land. The clash of their swords triggered waves of Conqueror’s Haki, decimating the area within kilometers. This not only underscores King Harald’s strength but confirms his status among those possessing Conqueror’s Haki.
Rocks genuinely admired Harald’s agility when he leapt from the Red Line to evade capture. Overall, King Harald is poised to be recognized as one of the most powerful figures in One Piece’s vast universe. Interestingly, his dynamic with Rocks parallels that of Whitebeard’s with Roger.
The unfolding saga of King Harald is destined to be captivating, and we can’t wait to see what comes next. Share your thoughts about King Harald in the comments—let’s keep the discussion going!
