Chapter 1180 begins one pieceEiichiro Oda finally takes on the biggest fight One Piece has had since Luffy vs. Kaido, which happened four years ago. The King of the World is given the opportunity to show his full power against an equally fearsome enemy: Loki, the cursed Prince of Elbaf and now wielder of the power of Nidhogg.

How Luffy vs. Kaido Sets the Standard for Great Battles in the Final Saga

one piece Although he doesn't always have the biggest fights, Eiichiro Oda had a phenomenal battle at the end of the Wano Country arc against Luffy and Kaido. This is an incredible battle where Luffy not only awakens the power of Gear 5, but also learns how to infuse the Conqueror's Haki into his attacks. The fight ended in a very exciting finish, with Luffy using the overwhelming power of his Devil Fruit abilities to crush the Yonko and pave the way for a new era in the land of Wano.

Luffy vs. Kaido was one of the best fights in the entire manga. Especially considering the risks of this fight. Now Eiichiro Oda is doing something similar in One Piece. Chapter 1180 of the Elbaph Arc officially marked the beginning of Loki vs. Imu. It's a fight in which we'll see the final antagonist of the entire series take proper action for the first time.

Why the clash between the cursed prince and the king of the world will exceed all expectations

one piece The new battle that will begin in the latest chapter will exceed all expectations for several reasons. The biggest reason is that Eiichiro Oda finally showed Nero and Imu, the rulers of the entire world, in this part. This means that justice must be done to this final villain to increase the tension of the story heading into the final war. If Eiichiro Oda doesn't make a proper appearance for Imu, fans will definitely lose interest in seeing this particular character moving forward and won't feel any significant threat from him, which will undoubtedly ruin the progression of the plot.

Likewise, after building up the Cursed Prince of Elbaph for so long, Eiichiro Oda needs to define this character as well and show fans why Loki is just as important as he is in the Elbaph arc and the final war to come. All things considered, the battle between Nero, Imu, and Loki that began in episode 1180 will be unprecedented and will set a new standard for One Piece battles.

Expand the power of Elbaf Prince Loki to Nero and Imu

Both Imu and Loki are very powerful in their own right, but their powers are certainly not equal. Despite being a cursed prince and having the power to destroy the world, Loki is not the strongest in the One Piece series, as evidenced by the fact that he lost the battle against Shanks in the New World six years ago.

If the red-haired Shanks was strong enough to defeat Loki, then even Nero or Imu, the kings of the world who are stronger than Shanks, would be able to deal with him. Imu's only problem is that he has a strict time limit, which is once again reaffirmed by Oda in chapter 1180 of the manga. Nonetheless, in terms of strict power scaling, Nerona Imu far surpasses Loki.

Assessing potential winners of Elbaph's cataclysmic clash

The incredible battle of Elbaf Arc, which will unfold over two chapters after chapter 1180, will likely end in either Nero or Imu's victory for two main reasons. The first reason is simply that Imu is the stronger of the two thanks to Akuma no Mi and needs more characterization.

But more importantly, Luffy hasn't joined the battle yet. To do so, Loki must be dealt with in some way. Unfortunately, Loki's downfall is all but guaranteed at this point, and the coming chapters of the story will highlight this, paving the way for the emergence of the sun god Nika.
