One Piece 1152: Loki With Gear 5?! Devil Games, Sun Gods & Spoilers Explored
Jun
What if Loki, the mysterious prince of Elbaf, becomes the next Sun God? What if Gear 5 isn’t just Luffy’s domain anymore?
Brace yourself. One Piece Chapter 1152 is building toward one of the most mind-blowing reveals in the series. From Imu’s terrifying devil pact to the chessboard of demons and gods, and the emotional tragedy of King Haran, this theory isn’t just fan fiction. It’s a prophecy in the making.
Let’s deep dive into every piece of the puzzle — from Bonney’s role, to the strategic genius of Loki, and the potential awakening of a new Gear 5 power.
⚫ Imu’s Devil Fruit: The Demon Contract That Changes Everything
Imagine a Devil Fruit power that doesn’t just corrupt — it transforms.
According to manga, Imu possesses a unique Devil Fruit ability allowing them to create a “Devil Contract” that forcibly transforms others into demons.
“Anyone trapped between two demons will inevitably turn into one.”
This horrifying mechanic isn’t just physical — it’s symbolic. A person literally and spiritually sandwiched between evil becomes evil. It’s a curse disguised as strategy. And it sets the stage for the greatest chess game in manga history.
👹 Black Chess Pieces: The Forces of Imu
Imu controls the black side of a supernatural chessboard — a bounded space resembling a room where each demon is a moving piece.
The stakes? People’s souls.
Every time two black pieces “capture” a human between them, that person transforms into a demon pawn. This gives Imu absolute control, turning innocent giants, marines, and even royals into twisted shadows of themselves.
⚪ Luffy’s Countermove: The Divine White Side
But if there’s darkness, there’s also light.
Luffy, the inheritor of Joy Boy’s will and the awakened user of the Nika-Nika fruit, leads the white faction in this chessboard of fate. His pieces represent gods — hope, freedom, and salvation.
♟️ Redemption Through Sandwiching
If Imu can turn someone demonic by trapping them between two black pieces, Luffy can do the opposite.
I suggests that by positioning two white pieces around a corrupted soul, the transformation can be reversed.
This divine tactic is the only known method of saving victims of Imu’s cursed game.
“This isn’t a battle of brawn. It’s divine strategy.”
👧 Bonney’s Role: Time-Bending Nika Magic
Bonney is no longer just a side character — she’s a key to breaking the curse.
With her Toshi Toshi no Mi (Age-Age Fruit) awakened, Bonney can temporarily turn herself — and others — into Nika. But there are conditions:
- She must physically touch her target.
- The transformation is limited in time and drains energy quickly.
Still, in a war where symbolism is power, becoming Nika, even for a moment, might be the only way to create more white pieces — and level the board.
⚔️ Loki x Luffy: Alliance of the White Pieces
Now here’s where things get legendary.
👑 Enter Loki: Prince of Elbaf, Strategist, and… Potential Gear 5 Awakener?!
My theory claims that Loki will form a divine duo with Luffy, acting as the second white piece needed to sandwich corrupted giants and purify them.
Unlike Luffy, who often charges in emotionally, Loki is cold, logical, and brilliantly strategic.
His mind works like a general, and on the chessboard of gods and demons, that’s more lethal than haki.
“Loki isn’t just a sidekick. He’s the brain of the revolution.”
🌀 Loki Awakens Gear 5?
This is the biggest shock of all. The theory suggests Loki may unlock a version of Gear 5 — or at least a Sun God transformation akin to Luffy’s.
How? Through trauma, royal bloodline, and a need for redemption.
And the emotional trigger? None other than the death of his father…
🩸 The Tragic Tale of King Haran
Rewind 14 years.
King Haran, Loki’s father and ruler of Elbaf, fell victim to Imu’s demon pact.
He was corrupted, twisted into a demonic giant — no longer king, but a monster.
To protect the realm, Loki was forced to slay his own father.
But the people didn’t know the truth. They saw a prince who killed his king.
Loki became a pariah in the very land he saved.
“A silent martyr, carrying the weight of blood and betrayal.”
☀️ Loki’s Future: Elbaf’s Sun God?
According to our closing theory, Loki’s path mirrors Luffy’s — but with a twist.
Instead of just joining the Straw Hats, Loki becomes the Sun God of Elbaf, a protector of his people, and a divine warrior on par with Nika.
He doesn’t replace Luffy — he complements him.
Their bond becomes the double-sun alliance — two figures of hope shining down on the New World.
🌅 Joy Boy’s Will, Split in Two
It’s possible Oda is setting up a dual Joy Boy inheritance:
- Luffy, bringing freedom to the seas
- Loki, bringing salvation to the giants
Together, they can finally topple Imu, the Celestial Dragons, and the cursed legacy of the Void Century.
🤝 Allies in the Endgame: Luffy and Loki vs. Imu
As we approach the final arc of One Piece, the pieces are locking into place:
- The Devil Contract is the ultimate weapon.
- The chessboard room is the battleground.
- The white pieces are hope.
- And the awakening of Gear 5 in Loki may be the divine trump card the world never saw coming.
“Imu isn’t just fighting pirates. They’re fighting gods.”
📈 Fan Reaction: From TikTok To Reddit — Everyone’s Talking

Fans are divided but hyped.
Some believe Loki deserves the Sun God mantle. Others think only Luffy should hold that power.
But everyone agrees — this is peak One Piece storytelling.
