One Piece Chapter 1153 continues directly from the emotional storytelling of Chapter 1152, where the origins of King Harald’s dreams for Elbaf began. this chapter gives us a powerful flashback to over a century ago, detailing how King Harald met the human woman Ida, how their son Hajrudin was born, and how prejudice, prophecy, and fear led to the birth and abandonment of Loki the future prince whose past is shrouded in tragedy.
Over 107 years ago, King Harald of Elbaf made a bold move: he left the land of giants to explore other nations and learn about different cultures. This marked the beginning of a rare openness in Elbaf’s history. No longer content with isolation, Harald saw potential in bridging worlds he was one of the few willing to embrace change, seeing humans and other species not as enemies, but as allies.
During his travels, Harald met Idaa kind hearted woman who stayed behind in a foreign land not because she was trapped, but because she felt indebted to the people who once helped her. Harald was deeply moved by her compassion and strength. This connection would become the foundation for a relationship that defied the rigid traditions of Elbaf and sparked new hope for unity between species.
The Birth Of Hajrudin : Origin of Hajrudin
Ida and Harald returned to Elbaf together, and not long after, their son Hajrudin was born. Harald envisioned a future where Elbaf would no longer be called savage or barbaric. His dream was to redefine what it meant to be a giant, to show the world that they, too, could lead with diplomacy and wisdom. Through Hajrudin, he believed a bridge between worlds could be built.
But Elbaf’s deep-rooted traditions couldn’t be changed overnight. Because Ida wasn’t a pure-blooded giant, the elders refused to recognize their union. Hajrudin, though born on Elbaf soil, was treated as an outsider. To maintain royal lineage, Harald was pressured to marry a pure-blooded Elbaf woman. The elders had already chosen one: Estrid. Their marriage, while royal, felt more like a forced union, a sacrifice of love in favor of legacy.
The Birth of Loki : A Child Rejected By His Mother
Years passed, and Estrid gave birth to a son named Loki. But her joy was short-lived. At first glance, Loki’s eyes narrow, slit-like, and eerie horrified Estrid. She saw in him the fulfillment of a terrible prophecy: that Harald would one day be killed by his own son. Convinced he was cursed, Estrid abandoned Loki, throwing the infant into the Underworld and fleeing to her village with all her belongings.
Estrid’s lie that Loki had died during birth didn’t last long. Rumors spread quickly, and truth found its way back to Elbaf. Loki, barely a child, miraculously survived the horrors of the demon realm. Against all odds, he climbed the Adam Tree, scarred but alive. Meanwhile, Hajrudin, now around five years old, was about to encounter his half-brother a meeting that didn’t go well. Hajrudin, too, refused to accept Loki as family.
On another front, King Harald’s dream of cultural exchange hit a wall. The World Government, ever wary of alliances that threaten their power, began isolating Elbaf. Diplomacy was blocked, and war loomed on the horizon. With the family fractured, political pressure mounting, and an abandoned son crawling from the depths of the Underworld, One Piece Chapter 1153 ends on an intensely dramatic note.
