One Piece Chapter 1171 brings the story back to the present timeline, so here’s what you need to know.
The flashback of the Elbaf Arc gave us a glimpse at the true influence of the World Government. From the God Valley Incident to the fall of Harald, they were behind it all. Harald gave it his everything – including not helping his friend Rocks and selling his own soul – to connect Elbaf with the rest of the world, but to no avail.
In fact, Imu used Harald and made him their personal weapon, using him to do their dirty work. Their ultimate goal was to have Harald form a giant army to do their bidding. However, when Harald refused, they took over his consciousness and killed several giants.
In Chapter 1170, Loki was chosen by Ragnir to eat Elbaf’s legendary Devil Fruit. With his new power, Loki finally destroyed his father and was branded a killer for years. What happens after that is revealed in One Piece Chapter 1171.

One Piece Chapter 1171 major spoilers
Titled ‘Ragnir’, One Piece Chapter 1171 shows the aftermath of Harald’s death and brings an end to the flashback. From this chapter forward, the manga will focus on the Straw Hats’ adventure on Elbaf. The cover page features Zoro with a cat on his head.
After Loki kills Harald, Imu suffers a severe backlash. So, they decided not to send any more God’s Knights to Elbaf. They also reveal that Elbaf can never be affiliated with the World Government as they’re intimately connected to the “D” clan.
Back to the present, Hajruddin is saddened after he learns the truth of Harald’s death. He apologizes to Loki and frees him from his shackles. Suddenly, a Draugr skeleton monster arrives in the Underworld.
Loki says he can fly, so the others should go ahead. He’d handle the monster and then follow them. Luffy, however, stays back in the Underworld to watch Loki fight. The giant prince uses Ragnir to strike a powerful attack called ‘Niflheim’ that freezes the monster. One Piece Chapter 1171 ends with Luffy surprised and impressed with Loki’s power.
