Why Did Elbaf Abandon Its War-Torn Past? | Were Humans Their True Enemies?
Were Humans Their True Enemy?
Jaguar D. Saul, a non-Elbaf Giant, once remarked during the Ohara Incident that he didn’t want to be associated with the rough and warlike Elbaf Giants.
While Elbaf’s Giants are portrayed as valuing strength and combat, the glimpses we’ve seen of Elbaf also suggest a culture that treasures peaceful living.
Saul’s comment about their roughness likely stems from Elbaf’s history during its war-torn days—a time Loki described.
The idea that a love of combat equals a love of war doesn’t necessarily hold up when examining the modern Elbaf. It’s possible their wars were not for conquest or profit but to defend their dignity and rights as a race.
Wars fought in retaliation against unjust aggression are just as valid as wars for survival or power.
This brings to mind the current World Government and the celestial dragons’ elitist ideology.
While the celestial dragons now claim to be gods, they were originally human royalty. It’s conceivable that they once adhered to a form of human supremacy, viewing non-human races like the Giants as inferior and fit only for slavery.
The discrimination against non-human races seems rooted in this human supremacy ideology.
If this is the case, then Elbaf’s wars might have been a necessary resistance against this oppressive ideology.
Perhaps humans, the dominant species of the world, were Elbaf’s greatest enemy.
Yet at some point, Elbaf chose to end its warring days—a significant decision that changed its fate.
