Elbaph's Snow: Key Spoilers and Plot Summary for One Piece Chapter 1168

While the official release of One Piece Chapter 1168 will provide the definitive narrative, early plot details have begun to circulate amongst the fanbase, revealing a pivotal, tragic chapter titled 'Elbaph's Snow'. This chapter reportedly deepens the flashback arc concerning the Giants of Elbaph and their connection to the World Government and the mysterious Imu.

The chapter opens with a sorrowful scene: the death of Ida, King Harald's former lover and the birth mother of Hajrudin, who succumbs to poisoning amidst heavy snowfall. Both Harald and Hajrudin mourn the loss, while Loki suffers in silent imprisonment, as he considered Ida his only mother figure.

The focus then shifts to a shocking revelation concerning the World Government's hierarchy, specifically fourteen years prior. The chapter confirms that Shanks was originally set to receive the 'Deep Sea Pact', a promotion that would have made him a 'Knight of God', but he never appeared to claim it.

Instead, King Harald was chosen, subsequently gaining increased power and immortality via a mark given by the mysterious Imu. Harald is shocked to find Imu sitting upon the 'Empty Throne', a seat that is meant to remain unoccupied.

Following this promotion, Imu orders Harald to create the 'Abyss Circle' (a pentagram) in Elbaph. Later, Imu forces Harald to begin the transformation of Elbaph into a military nation with a fleet matching the Marines. Harald attempts to resist, but the 'Depths Covenant' mark makes it impossible to defy Imu's will, forcing his body to move against his wishes.

In a desperate move to prevent further harm, Harald orders his soldiers to tie him to a pillar before summoning Jarul and Loki. The chapter concludes by confirming that this chain of events will ultimately lead to the King of Elbaph, the 'wise sovereign Harald,' losing his life in a 'mass slaughter' at the castle, setting the stage for major future conflicts.
