Loki and Harald seem like anomalies. The average giant seems not overly strong, but their strength changes depending on what oda wants to write. Like Hajrudin got ******* floored by Luffy back during Dressrosa.

As much of an idiot as Harald was, ignoring every red flag and warning, it's still sad to see him finally realise it. He has no control over his body at this point and feels that he wasted his entire life. It reminds me a bit of when Doflamingo controlled King Riku and made him slaughter his own soldiers. Very much the exact same thing.

Is that good though? Like, sure it makes Loki have more respect of Harald, but at the same time it's kind of retarded, because then that means there's no warning of the whole thing of Harald being controlled by the WG and that he regretted working with them. With the truth not being told, there's no reason that the next King wouldn't just go back to trying to do what Harald did and end up back under the WG thumb..? That is very obviously why Harald is telling Loki to go to these extremes. He doesn't want them to be enslaved by following his exact same mistakes.

I mean, they openly told Harald about it, seems stupid it's not so secretive and they blindly trust someone who has been living with arguably their worst enemy (roger). So if Harald knew a bit, I'm not surprised that Shanks who is Garling's kid would be told shit. But at the same time, why wouldn't Shanks have warned Harald if he knew? He had to have only more recently found that out, otherwise Shanks comes off as a massive **** to not explicitly warn Harald of the total obedience shit. But I mean, if you already knew you're controlled in the Holy Land, then why the **** would you agree to what would only be worse? Idk, whole thing seems so flimsy.

I am very curious what the fruit's power is!

 

Hajrudin is still a descendant of an ancient giant, after all Harald is the only one that was an ancient giant descendant as far as we know, unless everyone on Elbaf has Ancient giant blood, and that's why they were against marrying to other giants external from Elbaf.

I am going to assume that Shanks only recently found out the full lot of information, after Harald was already given the deeper contract, or he simply never had the opportunity to tell Harald. Otherwise if he knew and could've told Harald, really doesn't put Shanks in a good light.

 

Yes, the horns are obviously showing they are anceint giants. But Harald is Hajrudin's father, so it's not like he also isn't of the ancient giant bloodline, he just didn't inherit the horns, large height and seemingly even the strength. I find it a little odd.

Yes, Hajrudin takes more after Ida.

 

Not even sure what you're saying is a parellel? Not everything is a parallel. We literally don't even know previous Kings, for all we know, Harald might have been the first one with strong ancient giant blood and the horns and super height.

I am not saying just Hajrudin is weak. I'm saying at large the giants aren't as strong as they're made out to be most of the time, but Oda changes this when it's convenient. Most of them were jobbers in the marines, that were unimportant. So far, Harald and Loki are the only true top tier giants we've seen. Dorry and Broggy were retroactively made up there.

Right now, Harald is wanting Loki to take Elbaf, I could see it going either way, but I think probably it would make sense if it ends up as Hajrudin ruling because they like to do the whole "traditions were thrown out and it worked out good"

 

Yes, I agreed that it makes sense for that reason. I don't think it's really a parallel not everything is, but if you think so ok.
