The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

Tonight, the series of unexpected events and offenses has indeed stirred a barely perceptible ripple in the heart of Im, who has been sitting at the top of the world for too long and is used to controlling everything.

First, there is the exposure of existence itself.

The name Im, shrouded in mystery and taboo, was spoken openly for the first time and displayed nakedly to the world through a video Den Den Mushi.

This shattered its centuries-old, detached and secluded state.

Secondly, there is the disenchantment of divinity.

The slicing away of the magnificent divine robes revealed the true nature of mortals, reminding Im, and perhaps others watching, that the pinnacle of power does not equate to the absolute transcendence of existence.

Next, "Joyboy" and "Harald" appear simultaneously.

One is the echo of a sworn enemy's will, theoretically long since lost to history; the other is the former puppet king, whose body is now cold.

The fact that these two returned in such a bizarre and targeted manner caused Im to feel a rare moment of self-doubt, even as he coldly scrutinized them.

Has sitting on the Void Throne for too long really limited your vision?

Is it because in recent years, watching those heroes rise and fall, that life has been too smooth, so smooth that we've forgotten that hundreds of years ago, it too was once a human being?

Wavering exists only for a moment. The will forged by long years and absolute power is far harder than rock. Ripples of self-doubt are quickly replaced by cold, realistic considerations.

At this moment on the battlefield, the numerical advantage has been completely reversed.

The Five Elders will face a legion of hundreds of giants with ancient bloodlines, who are suspected of possessing elite combat power from various eras.

Leading them was none other than Harald, who had been "resurrected" and was the strongest Titan in nearly a century.

The sight of the D clan and the Giant King standing side by side once again stirred a chilling mockery within Im's dark consciousness.

History is such a nasty circle.

"I am honored to fight alongside Joy Boy and to experience what my ancestors went through..."

Harald's voice was deep and calm. He turned his head slightly and looked at Luffy, who was jumping restlessly on his shoulder, exuding joy and freedom.

In that gaze, there seemed to be a complex expectation that transcended life and death and the times, hoping that the pure joy in this little devil could truly bring even the slightest change to this world that suffers so much.

"Is this the Great Hammer Chapter that Lox was looking for?" Kidd's single eye flashed with shock.

“It may not be this generation, but the first generation of the Great Hammer Chapter, or rather, their prototype, should be them,” Capone Becky said in a deep voice.

Humans cannot imagine things they have never seen, but the aura of this legion before them was already faintly touching the edge of legend.

I wonder if they truly possess the terrifying power described in ancient texts, the power to destroy countless countries?

The Five Elders waited quietly, awaiting the final command from the figure lurking in the shadows. What was about to erupt was an unprecedented melee.

At that scale, the four of them would probably find it difficult to be distracted and protect Lord Im's safety, although Lord Im might not need to either.

Im's gaze swept carefully across the silent yet oppressive legion of giants ahead, each wielding a different heavy weapon.

The aura emanating from him indicated that he was at least an elite who had mastered both types of Haki, and even contained several powerful fluctuations of Conqueror's Haki.

The Founding Titan was able to somehow recreate the form and spirit of outstanding giants from different eras and infuse them into the bodies that were created.

This was indeed a bitter battle that even the Five Elders had never experienced before.

Im averted his gaze from Harald's unpleasant face. He wanted to shut the giant up immediately, after all, the dead man knew far too much about the secrets of the past.

But compared to Nika himself, he was far less threatening.

Finally, that chaotic gaze locked onto Monkey D. Luffy, who was standing on Harald's shoulder, still in his Nika form. Tonight, he had to seize this opportunity.

To solve this problem once and for all, Nika's successor, the bearer of Joy Boy's will, the core of all destabilizing factors.

Who knows when we'll meet again?

All these unfavorable factors of the world government have surfaced tonight, which may not be a bad thing for Im.

It can take this opportunity, through this globally watched broadcast, to demonstrate its absolute and all-powerful strength to all those who harbor illusions and are restless rebels.

Want to overthrow the world government? Not so easy!

In this dog-eat-dog world, the one with the bigger fist and the stronger force will always be the ultimate victor.

Back then, even the combined attack of the Rocks Pirates and many other powerful figures failed to capture God Valley.

With what they had, the rabble standing on the back of the Founding Titan was completely inadequate.

Im sneered inwardly. There might be pressure, but his absolute confidence never wavered.

"Don't hold back," that chaotic and icy voice echoed once more from the shadows, clearly resonating in the hearts of every one of the Five Elders.

“I will deal with Harald and Nika myself.”

"We must not let any of them escape tonight."

Whether it's Itsumade hovering high in the sky, Fengxi poised to strike, or Magu wielding a demon sword and the sandworm lurking in the shadows.

The last trace of hesitation and reservation in the eyes of all five elders transformed into a unified and tangible killing intent at this moment.

Let loose and have a great time!

Let the world see just how powerful the Five Elders, who truly stand at the pinnacle of power and influence in the world government, really are.

The Navy? It's just a facade put up by the World Government. Even if the Navy is defeated, the foundation of the World Government will never be shaken or collapse.

Sensing the undisguised, resolute killing intent, Harald knew that the moment of the final battle had arrived.

He took a deep breath, a breath that seemed to inhale the weight of a thousand years and the will of countless compatriots. Then he raised the heavy greatsword in his right hand high, pointing it straight to the sky.

The bright moonlight poured down without reservation, illuminating his rugged, pale yet incredibly resolute face, and reflecting a cold gleam onto the gleaming blade of his greatsword.

A powerful voice, capable of resounding throughout the entire battlefield and even transcending time, burst forth from his chest: "My fellow giants!"

"It's time to fight for the Ancestor!"

"We all share the blood of the same mother, the blood of Lady Ymir. She is our common mother!"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with a resolute determination to burn away all shackles: "Follow the will of the Ancestor!"

"All giants, shed your blood and fight against this world government that has enslaved and oppressed us for countless years!"

"Break free from the shackles of the past and embrace true freedom. Lord Ymir will always be watching over us!"

"Even if our consciousness perishes in battle, it will return to Mother's embrace!"

"Fight these former rulers to the death!!!"

The last word, like the final, devastating blow of a war drum, struck the hearts of all the giants, and echoed across the sky above this battlefield.
