With the introduction of Saint Nerona Emu to the land of Elbaf, the final skirmish of this incredibly chaotic arc has finally begun. Beginning the chapter of 1180 a pieceEiichiro Oda finally kick-starts the biggest battle since Luffy vs Kaido, which took place four years ago, as the King of the Worlds gets the opportunity to display his full power against an equally formidable opponent – the Cursed Prince of Elbaf and the current wielder of Nidhog Power, Loki. This battle is setting up to be one for the ages to be remembered for years to come, and Eiichiro Oda is sure to settle it in the latest chapters, starting with One Piece 1181.

How Luffy Vs Kaido Set the Standard for Big Battles in the Final Saga
a piece Doesn't always get the biggest fights, but Eiichiro Oda gave a phenomenal fight with Luffy vs Kaido at the end of the Wano Country arc. This is the incredible battle where Luffy awakens the power of Gear 5, as well as learns how to attack the Conqueror's Haki. The battle ended with a very exciting finale where Luffy used the overwhelming force of his Devil Fruit ability to crush Yonko, paving the way for a new era in the land of Wano.
Luffy vs Kaido was easily one of the best fights in the entire manga, especially given the stakes in this fight. Now, Eiichiro Oda is doing something similar in One Piece. Chapter 1180 of the Elbaf arc officially marked the beginning of Loki vs. Emu Fight, which will see the final antagonist of the entire series in proper action for the first time.
Why the clash between the cursed prince and the king of the world will exceed all expectations
a piece The new battle, which is set to begin in the last chapter, is going to exceed all expectations for a few reasons. The biggest reason is that Eiichiro Oda finally shows Nerona Emu, the ruler of the whole world, in this part of the story. This means that he needs to bring this final villain to justice in order to increase the tension in the story leading up to the final battle. If Eiichiro Oda doesn't give Emu a proper performance, fans will obviously lose interest in this particular character going forward and won't feel any significant threat from him, which will undoubtedly ruin the progress of the story.

Likewise, after building up Elbaf's cursed prince for so long, Ichiro Oda needs to do justice to this character and show fans why Loki is just as important to Elbaf's arc and the final battle to come. All things considered, this fight between Nerona Emu and Loki that started in chapter 1180 is going to be unprecedented and will set a new standard for fights in one piece.

Measuring the power of Loki, Prince of Elbaf, in Nerona Emu
Emu and Loki are both very powerful in their own right, but their power is definitely not equal. Even though Loki is the cursed prince and has the power to destroy the world, he is not the strongest in the One Piece series, which is evident from the fact that he lost a battle with Shanks in the New World 6 years ago.
If the red-haired Shanks was strong enough to defeat Loki, even Nerona Emu, the king of the world stronger than Shanks, should be able to withstand him. The only problem for Emu is that he is on a tight deadline, which was reaffirmed by Oda in chapter 1180 of the manga. Anyway, in terms of strict powerscaling, Nerona Emu far surpasses Loki.

Assessing the likely winner of Elbaf's cataclysmic clash
The incredible battle of Elbaf Arc, which spans a few chapters after chapter 1180, is probably going to end in the victory of Nerona Emu for two main reasons. The first reason is that Emu is the stronger of the two, thanks to his Akuma no Mi, and needs more characterization.
But more importantly, Luffy hasn't entered the battle yet. In order for him to do that, Loki needs to be treated in one way or another. Loki's downfall is, unfortunately, almost guaranteed at this point, and the next few chapters of the story will definitely highlight that, paving the way for Sun God Nick to make his entrance.
