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

Feng Xi, Sha Chong, and Itsumade, along with the other three members of the Five Elders who were fighting against the ancient giants, all shook off their opponents the moment the earth-shattering slash came down.

Even if it was just for a fleeting moment, they looked back in utter shock, their gazes piercing through the chaotic battlefield and fixed on their colleague standing with a knife, facing Im.

"What is he doing?"

Feng Xi roared and slammed into an ancient giant who was on top of him, his fierce pig eyes bulging as if they were about to burst.

Does he know what he's doing?

Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!

Sandworm and Itsumade were in an even more disheveled state than the wild boar, but they couldn't help but curse and grumble at Magu's rebellious behavior, while eagerly pledging their loyalty to Im.

"traitor!"

"He's insane! He's absolutely insane!"

They did not want to, and absolutely could not, be implicated by Nasujiro Saint. If Lord Im were to become angry as a result, or even reclaim his power, it would mean that one of the parties to the contract would die immediately.

From the moment they were branded with that contract, they never had the right to disembark.

In modern history, only Shanks managed to disembark through some clever means.

But that was also because of Lord Im. The contract he made with him was only the first layer, and he was able to break free quickly enough. If he had run slower, Harald would have ended up like Shanks.

Just then, an even louder hissing sound of boiling steam came from the side.

Harald stood up again, and in the surging steam, his severed right arm had miraculously grown back.

He looked at Nasujuro Sei, who was holding the first generation Kitetsu, with a puzzled expression. Had the Five Elders betrayed him?

Even Harald himself had never seen anything like this in his previous life, yet he unexpectedly witnessed it after death—the worldly giant king.

Harald spoke in a deep voice, a hint of admiration flashing in his crimson eyes, "To actually dare to defy Im, you have guts!"

In the shadows, Im was equally shocked by Nasurou Sei's betrayal and severed his mental connection with his subordinates.

Nasujuro Sei stretched out his arms, holding the first generation Kitetsu in his hands. His movements were a little awkward, as if he was not yet used to this body.

An unfamiliar voice came from his mouth: "It's my first time controlling him, and I'm still not quite used to it."

"However, this body should be able to help you."

Harald recognized the voice; a small human had spoken to him in that same voice before the battle began.

"Are you that human with the big head?"

Such bizarre and unpredictable abilities are simply unheard of.

The Giant King's tone softened immediately, tinged with curiosity, "What an amazing ability! What's your name?"

He wouldn't mind getting to know such extraordinary people better.

"I am Capone Bege from the mafia. My control time is limited. Let's work together to create an opportunity for Luffy!"

Capone Becky!

It was with the telepathic ability he obtained from Pawnshop No. 8 that he risked invading Nasujiro Sei's mental world.

These powerful figures in the world of One Piece, while possessing terrifyingly strong physical bodies and martial prowess, have virtually no protection for their mental well-being.

Even Capone Becky, with his relatively weaker telepathic abilities, can still invade and control a person's body; this is simply a mental version of overwhelming power.

"Okay, let's do it together!"

He moved his newly grown right arm, which was empty in his hand, but the next moment, a strange power flowed from the skeleton of the progenitor giant beneath his feet and into his palm.

A massive sword, pure white as if forged from the purest bone, was rapidly shaped in his hands.

Im listened quietly to the name Capone Becky; it was a name that barely left any impression on his long memory. He never paid attention to such minor characters.

But what kind of Devil Fruit ability does the other person have to be able to do something like that?

Since we don't know the answer now, let's capture the other party and ask them slowly.

Capone Bege's reluctance to actively invade Im's mental world stemmed from an instinctive fear; he was afraid of suffering the terrifying mental backlash from the Celestial Dragon God.

The shadows surrounding Im surged violently once more, and hundreds of black arrows shot out simultaneously, their targets Harald and Nassshulang Saint.

Weihai!

"Han Zhan!"

Two angry roars rang out almost simultaneously.

Harald's bone greatsword once again unleashed a crimson, black lightning-infused Conqueror's Haki slash.

Nasujuro Seishun's first generation Kitetsu drew a line of stark white sword energy, seemingly capable of freezing the soul.

Two terrifying slashes, imbued with the aura of a conqueror, collided head-on with the rain of black arrows. The Giant King's explosive giant martial arts tore large swathes of black arrowheads to shreds.

The icy sword strike unleashed by Nasujiro not only shattered the arrows in front of him, but its momentum also pierced through the rain of arrows, once again piercing Satan Saint's body.

A thick layer of crystal-clear ice rapidly spread and froze from the point where the sword energy struck.

In the blink of an eye, Satan Saint's entire body, along with the ever-fluctuating, dense shadow around him, was frozen in a massive ice coffin.

Even inside the ice, the shadow continued to pulsate slowly.

"I'm ready, I'm in control!"

A confident voice came from high above the sky; it was Luffy in his Nika form.

Nasujiro Saint and Harald briefly met in mid-air the instant Luffy's shout rang out.

There were no words, no hesitation.

They had to believe, believe in the white figure leaping in the moonlight, believe in that blow that might bring about a miracle.

This is a gamble with everything at stake, and it's the only and last chance at this moment.

Click click click——!

The thick, solid ice that had been freezing Satan Saint's body was cracking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and from each crack, Conqueror's Haki burst forth.

The ice trembled violently, groaning under its strain. Im was about to break free.

Harald's massive body transformed into a crimson afterimage as he charged forward recklessly, his bone greatsword once again enveloped in Conqueror's Haki.

With a roar, Harald's arm muscles bulged wildly, pouring all his strength, will, and obsession with seeking justice for Rocks, for the giants, and for himself into this one sword strike.

The bone sword ruthlessly plunged into Satan Saint's head along the largest crack in the ice.

Almost simultaneously, several sharp, black arrows formed from shadows shot out from the undulating shadows once again, piercing Harald's chest.

But this time, Harald was neither knocked back nor lifted up; he was like a mountain rooted to the ground, his hands gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.

He channeled his surging, domineering aura into Satan Saint's body through the bone sword.

Seeing this, Nasshoulang Saint no longer hesitated and rushed to Satan Saint's side.

The first generation Kitetsu in his hand was also wrapped in a layer of Conqueror's Haki, which was the power of Nasujuro Sei's true form, mixed with Capone Bege's will that was being driven with all his might.

He aimed at Satan Saint's frozen chest and stabbed it mercilessly, the tip of the knife piercing precisely into the heart.

Two powerful Conqueror's Haki streams from different sources surged through Satan Saint's body, assaulting Im's will, which was about to fully awaken.

Above everyone, Luffy's figure shone brightly under the clear moonlight, like a second pure white moon in the night sky.

Luffy's martial arts aura condensed to its peak between his hands.
