In addition, the chapter opens with the cover showing Kid being chased by a giant bull, following a request from readers.

Meanwhile, the main fight continues with Luffy and Loki facing Imu, who once again assumes her black shadow form, similar to the one seen in God Valley.
Imu attacks Luffy and Loki with a new ability
During the confrontation, Imu uses a technique called "Diabolical Covenant ," creating black tentacles that pierce through Luffy and strike Loki. The villain also mentions Rocks, suggesting a direct connection to past events. He then uses "Domi Reversi," but the attack has no effect.

Luffy reacts quickly with the Gomu Gomu no Dawn Gatling , while Loki, in human form, uses Ragnar to freeze Imu and Gunko. Even so, Imu's shadowy body disappears from within the ice, indicating an ability that has not yet been explained.
Elbaf stabilizes and mystery grows
As the battle progresses, the scene in Elbaf begins to return to normal, with characters putting out fires. Chopper manages to reverse the effects of the Domi Reversi on the giants, reinforcing his role as a doctor. Sommers, meanwhile, shows an unusual recovery, revealing that he has a mechanical heart.

In the end, Luffy returns to his exhausted state and asks for food, while Loki refuses to help. In Mary Geoise, Imu enters the "Room of Flower" and informs the Gorosei that she will be leaving for a while. There will be no break next week.
