One of the characters that fans are eagerly waiting to see is the captain of the New Giant Pirates and one of the few original members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet; Hajrudin. This character was last shown in Elbaf in Chapter 1131 of One piecewith the series promising that he may have a much bigger role than many think, so let's see what might be in store for him.

What is known about Hajrudin?

Hajrudin's importance to Elbaf

Introduced in the beloved Dressrosa arc, Hajrudin was one of the gladiators who first fought in the Coridda Colosseum hoping to win to become the new user of the Mera Mera no Mi. However, despite failing in his goal, he eventually emerges from the colosseum and fights Doflamingo's army alongside Luffy, eventually became one of the first official members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

From then on, Hajrudin was mostly unmentioned, only having a cover story for a few chapters. Chapter 1131 of the manga re-introduces him to the series during the Elbaf arc, where he is first revealed to be the prince of the country, although it is never revealed why. So at this point, it is unknown if he and Loki are blood brothers or if Hajrudin became part of Elbaf's new royal family after his family replaced Loki when he was killed by the Cursed Prince. his father to obtain the famous Devil's Fruit.

So, what is known right now is that Hajrudin is the current prince of Elbaf and the captain of the New Giant Pirates. Therefore, he is one of the most important Giants in the entire scene, not only in carrying on the legacy of Dorry and Brogy, but also in the possibility of leading his people to the end of the arc. It's not clear if Loki will be the villain in the ending, but if he is, Hajrudin could lead the Giants against the villain who has the legendary Devil Fruit.

In fact, Hajrudin's role in Elbaf is almost directly linked to that of Loki. This is because everything depends on the truth about Loki, because the fandom is divided into those who think of him as a bad guy and those who think of him as good. So, if Loki is truly a hero, he will lead the Giants in the Last War, where if he dies, Hajrudin will likely take over.

With all that said, the circumstantial evidence seems to point to Loki as the villain, especially since he calls himself the Sun God who seeks to bring about the end of the world. This has spawned tons of fan theories about the significance of Loki's Devil Fruit, from the powerful Logia to the terrifying Mythical Zoan to the reality-altering Paramecia . Whatever it ends up being, it's likely to be one of the most powerful Devil Fruits in the series.

If that is the case, Hajrudin has no chance. Even though he is very strong due to being a Ganita, he does not have the famous Devil Fruit or any Haki to give him a slight chance against someone who is built to be as strong as Loki. If Loki ends badly and the two characters eventually have to face each other, Oda could have saved a new and equally powerful Devil Fruit for Hajrudin to stand on, because otherwise Loki will wipe the floor. the current Prince Elbaf.
