Summary

• King Harald was set up to be a traitor by Oda painting him in a different light.

Elbafbågen off A bit Obviously, the fans know that over time, very exciting Lore will finally be revealed to them. Fans have already met a lot of exciting characters, and at the same time heard about some interesting legends as well. King Harald, known for being the best king in Elbaf's history, and also the strongest, is one of them.

Unfortunately, King Harald is already dead, which means that not much has seen from him during the latest chapters in Elbaf. Fans only know pieces and pieces of Harald from the Elbaf arch, mostly from the mouth of other characters. Interestingly, Harald is loved in Elbaf and everyone in the country assumes he is a legend. However, the truth may not be so beautiful and there may be more for Harald than just being a good king who took care of the people.

How long Harald was set up to be a traitor

• Harald was suspicious from the start

• Oda made him do too many good deeds

When King Harald was first introduced in A bitIt was clear that he was Loki's father, but more than that he was a good king who was unfortunately murdered in Loki's hands. This would have been believable, for sure, but the fact that Luffy immediately shared a few moments with Loki and showed no hostility to him was a big sign for the fans like King Harald, no doubt, painted in another light on what he really was.

Over time, more information began to be revealed about King Harald, and it became known that he was a benevolent king who wanted to open trade in the world and calm Elbaf. He was said to be a pacifist, and he even ripped his own horns as a sign of protest against the evil heritage of the ancient giants. Eventually, he hit his end in Loki's hands in one piece, and this was 14 years ago in the story. Inside Aurust Castle King Harald was killed by Loki and Jarul was also present there and witnessed everything. This is where Jarul got a sword through his head, and it is said that 100 giants lost their lives on this day.

But once again Oda sang too many good stories about Harald while depicting Loki as an evil man, which meant only one thing – that the truth would actually be the opposite. This was further emphasized by the fact that Mosa-Ko, who seems to feel Loki very well, clearly said that Loki has a friendly heart. As such, it is quite clear at this time in the story that Loki is the innocent and that something was wrong with Harald.

Was King Harald on good terms with the World Government?

King Harald could have had a relationship with the government

Now that it is obvious that King Harald was not the great leader he is believed to be, it is time to look at why that was the case. Harald had seemingly connections to the world government, or at least he wanted to create them. This is evident from the fact that there was an Abyss circle next to the throne room in Aurutt Castle. As such, the Holy Knights had certainly come to Aurust Castle before showing up there in A bit Chapter 1130. This means that the Holy Knights had already come to Aurust Castle once, at least 14 years ago. When it comes to why they would have come to Elbaf, the answer is simple. They simply wanted to gain control over the country then.

14 years ago, Loki killed his very own father here, in the Aurutt castle! – Giants

What exactly happened then is not known. But, A bit Chapter 1140 gives the fans a very interesting context about the whole situation. It seems that the good king of Elbaf was on some kind conditions with the Holy Knights. When the holy knights in a piece of chapter 1140 arrived in Elbaf, they clearly asked Shamrock why he was there, and if it would go to Harald's grave.

They clearly knew about Harald and Holy Knights' visit Grave essentially meant that they were on good terms with him. In other words, Harald was an ally by the world government, and he may even have planned to give up the kingdom or be their power leader for Elbaf. Thankfully, this never came to go when Harald stopped dying, but not before he caused lots of problems in Elbaf, especially around the nature of Loki and Jarul.

In the Elbaf arc of one piece, it was revealed that the person who killed Harald was none other than Loki. However, this may or not be true, which is perfectly sensible as things stand.

Who killed King Harald?

It may have been Loki or Harald

One thing that has been clearly established in the story right now is that King Harald was certainly not a good guy. While Giants of Elbaf wanted to save his inheritance and even had a legendary devil fruit saved that the right warrior would come and claim, Harald wanted the country to be sold to the world government. He may not have been corrupt and could really have thought that what he did was the right thing. But that means a little. What he wanted would have taken ruin to Elbaf, which meant that his death for treason was completely justified.

As for who killed him, two ways can go. It is possible that the person who killed Harald was none other than Loki, as mentioned. This would be meaningful, especially to know how much Loki despises the heavenly dragons. Not wanting to fall in the hands of the government was probably his reason.

But it could have been a bigger twist here too. It is possible that anyone who ended King Harald was none other than Jarul, one of Giant's heroes. Jarul was against the commercial idea of ​​Mom Carmel a long time ago, and it would make sense that he was not on board with King Harald's idea of ​​wanting to do a business with the government either. In addition, Jarul seems to have a sword thrown through the head and this leaf looks remarkable as the sword that Harald has. Perhaps the one who killed Harald Jarul was, while Loki stopped taking the blame because he felt he was strong enough to debt the blame. Anyway, one thing is clear and it is the fact that Harald was a traitor for Elbaf and died a deserved death.

A bit is available to read through Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and free on Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next chapter in one piece, a bit 1140, will be February 23, 2025.
