Warning: Spoilers for One Piece Chapter #1141One Piecehas long explored the vast and diverse races that inhabit its world, with Giants standing out as some of the most formidable beings. Hailing from the warrior-centric island of Elbaph, these massive individuals have been a source of fascination for fans since their introduction. Their incredible strength, unwavering battle spirit, and extended lifespans set them apart from humans and other races. However,one lingering mystery has been how Giants age in comparison to humans.
Loki is a crucial character introduced in the Elbaph arc, with his presence shaping the story’s future. Many speculate thatthe rogue Giant could become the next Straw Hat crew member. However, while Eiichiro Oda revealed key details about Giant life expectancy, he may have also hinted at why Loki joining the crew is unlikely. His sheer size presents a major challenge, making it impractical for him to sail aboard the Thousand Sunny. While Loki remains an important figure, his role may be more as a powerful ally rather than an official member of Luffy’s crew.
Eiichiro Oda Confirms How Giants Age
Giants Age Half As Fast As Humans
Oda established that Giants inOne Piececan live up to 300 years, maturing at close to half the rate of humans. They reach adulthood at 40, meaning that Dorry and Brogy, who were 58 (equivalent to 29 in human years) when they began first fighting on Little Garden, are now 158. This makes them slightly older than Dr. Kureha but still in their prime. While 300 years is the average Giant lifespan, Elder Jarul surpasses 400, making him the oldest known Giant. Fans compare this to human lifespans, where most live into their 70s, but some reach 100 and beyond.
Viral One Piece Theory Suggests Shanks Is the Mastermind Secretly Behind The Latest Arc
The One Piece manga series might have already revealed Shanks as the mastermind behind the Elbaph arc in just one panel.
At 63 years old, Loki is equivalent to 31 in human years, making him as old as most Straw Hats and a high-status rookie among Giants, much like Luffy is within the pirate world. This also places him at peak physical performance as a combatant. Fans speculate that Loki could join the Straw Hats as their Giant representative, much like Jinbei represents Fishmen and Franky represents cyborgs. His youth, strength, and rebellious status among Giants make him a strong candidate for the crew, potentially expanding their diversity and power while deepening their connections to Elbaph and its formidable warriors.
Why Loki Probably Won’t Join The Straw Hats
Loki Is Way Too Big For The Thousand Sunny
InOne PieceChapter 1141, it becomes clear that Loki may be too massive to set sail with the Straw Hats. By the chapter’s end, he finally broke free from his chains and stood at his full height, towering over Luffy withLoki wielding his enormous weapon, Ragnir. His sheer size makes boarding the Thousand Sunny impossible. Earlier in the arc, the Giants held the ship in their hands, emphasizing its small scale in comparison. Given this,Loki wouldn’t even be able to place a pinky toe on the deck, making his potential inclusion in the crew highly impractical.
As Oda sheds light on a theory that giants age at half the rate humans do, he also confirms Loki’s height, which by proxy reveals Loki won’t be the type of ally to join the crew.One Piecehas introduced many powerful allies who, despite their bond with Luffy, were ultimately unable to join due to circumstances beyond their control. Loki may fall into this category, remaining an important figure in the story without becoming a full-fledged crew member.
