Why Did Elbaf Abandon Its War-Torn Past? Were Humans Their True Enemy?

In Chapter 1130, Loki revealed that Elbaf once lived through a time of constant warfare.What kind of nation was Elbaf in its past?
This article will explore that question in depth!

Was It Similar to the Vodka Kingdom’s War Economy?

In Chapter 1130, Loki described Elbaf’s history as one of endless warfare.

This immediately brings to mind the Vodka Kingdom, the birthplace of Kaido.

The Vodka Kingdom lacked natural resources or tradeable goods and was likely economically impoverished. To survive, it resorted to war—invading other nations to seize resources and technology.

This war economy sustained the kingdom, possibly even involving participation in external conflicts as a hired ally for profit.

The Vodka Kingdom didn’t seem particularly unique in this regard. Many nations may have engaged in similar practices, using their war earnings to pay the World Government for membership.

Non-affiliated nations, in particular, might have turned to war out of necessity. In the ONE PIECE world, where non-affiliation means no human rights under the World Government, waging war may have been a desperate attempt to gain recognition and escape oppression.

However, Elbaf’s case seems different.

Unlike the Vodka Kingdom, Elbaf likely had no shortage of resources or technology. Its vast lands appear rich in natural resources, and its people are self-sufficient enough to live independently from the World Government.

Given their long-standing cultural traditions, Elbaf seems to have been prosperous and self-reliant for generations.

So why did Elbaf engage in constant warfare?

The Giant race, as depicted so far, does not seem inherently aggressive or invasive.
