Chapter 1137 summary
The group reaches the damaged gates of Elbaf's Quest Castle, where Luffy panics over the missing key while others rush inside. They enter the vast ruined hall and react with unease to its scale and the recent signs of intrusion. Rodo admits he has never been inside before as Nami encourages him to continue. They examine the ancient battle damage and learn that Loki killed King Harald, leaving only Lord Jarul alive amid the skeletons of many guards. The goggled man explains the forbidden site and the ancient giant bloodline. Luffy calls attention to a massive horned skeleton. The group stops before a portrait of King Harald, described as Elbaf's strongest king who sought peace with the outside world, and notes the scars where he ripped out his own horns.
