Hajruden is supposedly giving Loki 3 minutes to explain. So, I'm guessing we'll get 3 chapters worth of backstory. One chapter per "minute". Probably 2 chapters for Harald's backstory and change of heart, and bit more with Loki's childhood, and then one more chapter detailing Harald's death. I doubt Oda's willing to show off what Shanks can do quite yet, so I think Loki v Shanks will be completely off-screened.

....I could be VERY wrong about that. We could get a LOT more. But, I still think Oda probably wants to keep this relatively short.

Although, I am halfway expecting Oda to take his "yearly" month-long break pretty soon. So, even if it is only 3 chapters, it might take us two months to actually see it all.

Harald's youth can be covered in 2-3 full length chapters

The first chapter will likely be young Harald meeting his first lover (Hajrudin's mother) who motivates him to become a good king

Chapter 2 will likely be Harald taking steps to fulfill her wish, the birth of Hajrudin, and his lovers death

Chapter 3 will probably focus on the birth of Loki as well as Loki/Hajrudin's youth

Chapter 4-? will go into detail on the pact Harald made, meeting Shanks, and his untimely death in the castle at the hands of his guards

I'm gonna guess 7 chapters exactly

Things that need to happen or be explained in the Harald/Loki flashback:

1) We'll learn about Harald's life and his change of heart.
2) We'll meet Hajrudin's mother, the one who couldn't become queen, and Loki's mother, who died shortly after he was born.
3) We'll get at least a glimpse of Xebec, see how he met Loki (who idolized him), and maybe even learn why he and his crew went to Elbaph in the first place.
4) We'll see Shanks at Mary Geoise
5) We'll find out what really happened inside the castle the day Shanks was also in Elbaph. The circle of the Abyss was there, so there might have been a fight involving unknown Holy Knights, or even someone like Imu or Garling.
6) The truth about the legendary DF
7) We'll get the full story of what went down between Loki, Lola and Big Mom.
8) Loki vs Shanks
9) We might learn who Mosa really is.

Am i forgetting anything?
