One Piece chapter 1153 spoilers reveal that Hajrudin and Loki are brothers from different mothers
One Piece chapter 1153 will be titled “The birth of Loki”. As per the initial spoilers, in this chapter, the cover story centered on Yamato continues. In particular, Yamato travels to Ringo to meet Kiku, who has become the new Daimyo of this region.
Immediately after the cover story, the chapter takes the narrative 109 years into the past. It’s revealed that King Harald once went on a rampage to free a woman named Ida. Harald saw Ida working in a circus and thought she was trapped, so he destroyed the town in a fit of rage to liberate her.
However, Ida reproached Harald. She explained to him that she wasn’t trapped, but was working in the circus of her own free will to repay the kind townspeople who had saved her. Moved by this, Harald fell in love with Ida and went to Elbaph with her. Over the next few years, Harald began modernizing Elbaph, even forging alliances with other countries.
One Piece chapter 1153 spoilers then explain Ida giving birth to Hajrudin, Harald’s first son. Harald longed to marry Ida, but the Elbaph elders forbade the union and selected Estridd, a woman of pure Elbaph lineage, as his bride instead. Interestingly, the spoilers reveal Estrid’s peculiar obsession with omens.
63 years before the present narration, Harald and Estridd had a son. Still, the infant’s slit-like eyes struck terror into Estridd’s heart. Unable to bear Loki’s presence, Estridd abandoned the child, throwing him into Elbaph’s Underworld area. At the end of the chapter, the baby Loki was seen crawling from the darkness, trying to climb Elbaph’s massive Adam Tree to return to Aurust Castle.
The One Piece chapter 1153 spoilers mention that several fallen beasts were lying around Loki. This is all the information that has been revealed so far, but these are just the initial leaks of chapter 1153, so more detailed information about the installment’s content is expected in the coming hours.
A brief analysis of One Piece chapter 1153 spoilers

One Piece chapter 1153 spoilers establish that Hajrudin and Loki are half-brothers with the same father, King Harald, but different mothers. Hajrudin’s mother was the kind-hearted Ida, while Loki’s mother was Estridd, a woman the Elbaph elders forced Harald to wed.
In a chilling act of cruelty, Estridd condemned her newborn son to death just because she was afraid of his eyes. This brutal abandonment likely shaped the course of Loki's life. From his first breath, Loki's existence was marked by hardship, which only increased years later, when he would be unjustly accused of killing his father.
Introduced as an apparent villain, Loki now appears to be a complex character with a tragic backstory and still unexplained motives for his future actions. His eyes, which he has covered with bandages since childhood, also take on particular significance.

He may have decided to cover them out of shame, as Charlotte Katakuri did with his mouth and Charlotte Pudding with her third eye. It's also possible that they hold some particular power. What's certain is that Loki's eyes are pivotal to his character.
Additionally, the spoilers seem to imply that Loki fell from Elbaph’s Sun World to the Underworld, survived, and got up to climb the Adam Tree at the center of the island, almost paralleling what Kaido did in his iconic introduction scene. Given that Loki was just a baby at the time, this feat is jaw-dropping.
The One Piece chapter 1153 spoilers also mention that Loki was surrounded by fallen beasts, but don’t clarify if he knocked them out with Conqueror’s Haki or defeated them in physical combat. The chapter also doesn’t reveal how King Harald came into contact with the World Government or any further details about his death.
Fans will have to wait a bit to find out more about these topics, as One Piece will be on a break next week. The manga will resume serialization the following week, shortly before the middle of July 2025.
