While these battles unfold, the plot will also take us into the political backstage of Elbaf. The dialogue between Saint Rimoshifu Killingham and Ange Harald 's past and his involvement with the World Government .
The truth about King Harald
Killingham's confessions will likely be broadcast throughout Elbaf via Den Den Mushi , which should generate varied reactions among the giants. Some will doubt the betrayal, while others will begin to question the legitimacy of the former king.
Among the characters, the veteran Elder Jarul is set to star in one of the most memorable scenes, reacting silently but filled with fury—a harbinger of great changes in the kingdom of giants.
The underworld and the revelation of Loki
Following the tensions in Elbaf, the story returns to the underworld, where Luffy , Zoro , Sanji , and the new Giant Warrior Pirates are closely monitoring the situation. The protagonists are expected to be shocked by the revelations.
