Is Elbaf Connected to the Klabautermann?
The Elbaf arc has been unfolding steadily, introducing one enchanting element after another.
It seems likely that Elbaf retains elements of the old world in its culture. Let’s dive deeper into this intriguing land!
Ancient Nordic Culture as a Base
The daily lives of Elbaf’s giants were depicted during Linlin’s flashback, showcasing a culture heavily inspired by ancient Nordic mythology.
The imagery of Vikings is unmistakable. The New Giant Warrior Pirates, with their Viking-like appearance, reflect this influence. However, Vikings were not solely raiders; they also traded and engaged in agriculture when back in their homeland.
Similarly, Elbaf’s giants seem to blend their warrior culture with more peaceful pursuits.
It’s possible that in the past, Elbaf’s giants engaged in trade and maintained close relations with the world, exporting local products and importing goods. However, after the Void Century, they may have distanced themselves from the World Government.
Elbaf appears to remain unaligned with the World Government, suggesting they might have opposed the original 20 kings during the Void Century.
The reputation of the Giant Warrior Pirates, who allegedly shook the world a century ago, seems to stem from battles fought not for plunder but to protect oppressed nations, both allied and non-aligned.
The portrayal of giants as “rough” or “violent” likely stems from World Government propaganda. However, their ferocity as warriors cannot be denied.
Why do the giants seek such strength, and for what purpose do they fight?
Rather than for conquest, their battles likely serve to protect their freedom and the things they hold dear.
Drawing parallels to Vikings, who fought to safeguard their people’s well-being, the giants of Elbaf may also strive to protect not just their kin but other species coexisting with them.
It’s possible that these beings are part of Elbaf’s mythical “three layers,” perhaps in a realm called “Heaven.”
