One Piece’sElbaf Arc is hitting its stride, revealing some massive amounts of information that could completely change the direction ofOne Piece’sstory. Between the appearance of Shanks’s mysterious twin, Shamrock, and Loki’s argument with the Holy Knights, it seems like every new piece of information is worth waiting for. On top of this, with more elements about the history and lineage of the giants being revealed,One Piece’sElbaf Arc may be one of the most important arcs in the story so far.
However, not every reveal inOne Pieceneeds to be earth-shattering. One reveal, surrounding Hajrudin and his goals throughout the story, actually helps develop the Prince of the Giants into a more fleshed-out character. Most importantly though, his goal echoesLuffy’s dream inOne Piece, demonstrating the high amounts of potential that Hajrudin possesses.
Hajrudin’s Goal In One Piece Has Been Officially Revealed
The Giant Wants To Become The King Of The Giants
InOne PieceChapter 1137, while exploring the castle of Elbaf inOne Piece, Road reveals some of the history surrounding the giants. Mainly, he reveals that Hajrudin is only Loki’s half-brother and is born to a different mother. However, his mother wasn’t allowed to be the Queen because she was from a different tribe of Giants. Due to this, Hajrudin is said to have tarnished blood and isn’t fully accepted by the Giant community.

From here, Road also reveals that Hajrudin’s goal involves uniting allthe Giants ofOne Piece, no matter what tribe they are from, and creating a solitary kingdom. After he accomplishes this, Hajrudin wishes to become the King of the Giants and usher them into a new era of unity. So far, although he doesn’t have the largest crew in the world, with the help of the New Giant Pirates, it seems that everything Hajrudin has done so far is in an attempt to get close to this goal.
Hajrudin’s Goal Echoes Luffy’s Goal In One Piece
Both Characters Want To Become Kings In Their Own Right
As many could already guess, Hajrudin’s goal almost perfectly mirrorstheOne Pieceprotagonist, Luffy’s, goal throughout the series. While Hajrudin wishes to become the King of the Giants, Luffy wishes to become the King of the Pirates. Additionally, both of the captains lead a small crew of close friends throughout the seas to accomplish their dreams, fighting as hard as they can to achieve their goals.
At the same time, since Hajrudin’s dream mirrors Luffy’s dream, some elements of Hajrudin may rub off on Luffy as well. For example, withthe New Giant Pirate, Hajrudin’s, goal to unite all the Giants, while he doesn’t believe he needs to do it right now, becoming the Pirate King may entail uniting all the major pirate groups in the world ofOne Piece. Perhaps bringing all the groups together to fight a massive war against the World Government may be what truly makes Luffy the King of the Pirates.
Hajrudin’s Goal May Have A Major Obstacle Coming
The Holy Knight Shamrock May Be Making His Move
Hajrudin’s goal is especially important in the current trajectory of the story, which places the giants of Elbaf in direct opposition with the World Government. It seems thattheOne Piecefigure, Shamrock, is about to make a move against the Giants, calling on the forces of the Holy Knights to potentially do so. Due to this, Hajrudin may have a chance to fight for his dream earlier than many of the characters in the story may expect. By the end of the Elbaf Arc, Hajrudin may already be well on his way to becoming the new leader of the Giants inOne Piece.

In the end, Hajrudin mirrorsLuffy inOne Piecein more ways than most originally expected. The two characters share a major goal in the series and are taking similar steps to achieve their goals. Due to this, it may be possible that Luffy will also be a large uniting force in the world ofOne Piece, changing the order of the world before he becomes the King of the Pirates. With that being said, fans will have to keep waiting until more information is revealed in laterOne Piecechapters before seeing how these stories play out.
