I'm done with this flashback tbh. Let's get back to Elbaf. Hopefully it ends next chap.
It wont lol. 2-3 chapters at most though.
Harald probably dies next chapter but we know Shanks wanted to talk to him (evidently he doesnt), which means itll come down to Loki likely hearing that conversation either before or after his 8 year pirating stint. Loki mentions Shanks just visited him before Luffy got there.
I assume Oda will draw the flashback through the 6 year point or end it literallt days before Luffy arrives.
Basically:
- 1169 covers Harald's death and how Loki obtains Ragnir and his devil fruit (or whoever stole it for him).
- 1170 covers Loki's time as a pirate for 8 years before being taken down by Shanks. We'll probably see the Big Mom/Lola scene to close that loop.
- 1171 is the transition back to present, with the last scene being Shanks talking to Loki right before Luffy came to Elbaf.
Cant see it being much faster than this unless the castle scene is much shorter than expected.
