One Pieceis finally heading towards its final saga. With the completion of the Egghead Arc, the series is all set for the Elbaf Arc. This is one of the most expected arcs in the series. We were first introduced to Elbaf during the Little Garden Arc. Like most arcs in the story, Eiichiro Oda has based this on a previous arc. However, there’s a catch.
Loki has an uncanny resemblance to another villain from the series. His past, as well as his mannerisms, parallels another iconic character. While Oda is set to commence the final saga, one thing is certain.
There are several uncharted territories within the storyline. Especially when it pertains to this villain. This would pave the way for certain plot inconsistencies.
Eiichiro Oda is basing Loki on this villain from the series
Unsurprisingly, most of the arcs inEiichiro Oda’smanga mirror each other. This is clear in the similarities between Dressrosa and Alabasta. Similarly, the Elbaf Arc mirrors both the Sabaody and Amazon Lily Arc. This arc is pivotal in understanding the course of the series.
This is especially true with the World Governments’ secrets. The arc also outlines the origin of the Nika along with the Laugh Tale. The Island of Giants holds the answers to mysteries. This also extends to the ambiguity associated with the antagonist in the arc.
Lokiappears during the Cake Island Arc in a flashback. The Elbaf prince was set up with Charlotte Lola. However, things didn’t go as planned and Lola ran away. The Elbaf prince made his comeback in Chapter 1130. He is officially introduced as the “Sun God”. However, his resemblance to another iconic arch-antagonist is uncanny.

Be it smiles or mannerisms, both characters mirror each other. However, there’s more to it. This is especially true with their killing of their fathers. Their pursuit of power is the striking resemblance between them. However, Oda has left Doflamingo’s role uncharted in most aspects.
Doflamingo’s role inOne Pieceis uncharted
Donquixote Doflamingo is one of the most iconic villains inOne Piece. He appears during the Dressrosa Arc as the arch antagonist. Doflamingo is one of the pivotal characters in the series. Especially because of his powerplay and connections with the World Government.
As a member of the noble family of Donquixote, he uses it to his advantage. This is clear in his status as a Warlord of The Sea. As a pirate, he wielded unprecedented power over the citizens of the Dressrosa, until his eventual defeat at the hands of Monkey D. Luffy. Despite his stint as a villain, his role is left uncharted in the series. And there’s more to it.
His connections with theWorld Governmentmake him a formidable threat. Especially with his knowledge and dealings with them. As a former noble, Doflamingo is said to have intel on the Gorosei through his inner dealings.
The World Government’s lies and corruption are being exposed gradually. From the Oharan massacre to Vegapunk’s assassination, the series is unmasking the organization’s crimes. And Doflamingo has a bigger role to play.

As of now, Doflamingo is in Impel Down. He may be incapacitated, but he is truly formidable. Especially with his intel and knowledge of the World Government. His intel and knowledge of the organization could play an important role in the final saga.
One Pieceis available for streaming on Crunchyroll. The manga is available for reading on Viz Media.
