The Untold Story of Elbaf's Renowned Ruler

Gerd shouts, "GERD, WE'LL LEAVE THIS SACK OF FILTH IN YOUR CARE!" A voice replies, "GOT IT!" Another yells, "LET'S HURRY TO THE LIFT!" Large text declares "ABNORMAL HAKI EMANATES FROM THE REALM OF THE SUN!!!" In the next scene, Hajrudin and others strain as chains rattle. Hajrudin calls, "HAJRUDIN, MOVE IT!" A giant figure declares, "I SHALL DEDICATE ALL MY MIGHT TO THIS, GERD-TASO!!" Someone warns, "BE CAREFUL!" A voice urges, "LET'S GET GOING!" At the bottom, an injured figure with wild hair addresses Luffy: "HEY... STRAW HAT LUFFY..." Another says, "GOT IT! I'LL LEAVE IT TO YOU!" A third notes, "YA-SAN'S WOUNDS ARE TOO SEVERE; WE CAN'T MOVE HIM YET." Someone concludes, "I'D BETTER STAY TOO, LUFFY."

Luffy declares with a determined expression, "I'LL SAVE COLON AND HIS FRIENDS NO MATTER WHAT!" A voice answers, "THANKS! YOU CAN COUNT ON ME!" An older man with long hair warns, "BE MINDFUL OF IT... THOSE GUYS ARE BY NO MEANS INVULNERABLE. YOUR USE OF CONQUEROR'S HAKI... IS IMPRESSIVE." Below, a bound giant with horns struggles and shouts, "I'M THE ONLY ONE LEFT WHO'S FACED THESE KNIGHTS BEFORE, I KNOW I CAN BEAT THEM! FREE ME AND TAKE ME WITH YOU, HAJRUDIN!" Hajrudin stands with his back turned. The giant continues, "I WASN'T ABLE TO PUT IT INTO WORDS BEFORE... MY OWN POWER... GYABAN, THAT JUST MADE IT CLICK FOR ME." A small voice asks, "YOU FIGHTING FOR ELBAFI!"

A helmeted man growls, "LIKE I'D EVER TAKE YOU WITH US!" Someone reacts, "!I THERE'S ANOTHER IN YOUR GROUP WHO USES CONQUEROR'S HAKI..." The helmeted man continues speaking. In the next panels, a swordsman with glasses is addressed: "YOU THERE, SWORDSMAN. YOUR BODY SEEMS TO BE GROWING ACCUSTOMED TO IT." A large-eyed figure reacts with shock. Text reads "I KNEW IT! WITH HOW THINGS WERE GOING, MOSSHEAD AND JINBE WERE ABOUT TO USURP ME!" Someone yells, "IS IT MEI!" At the bottom, the swordsman says, "YOUR CAPTAIN IS ONE OF THE FOUR EMPERORS. YOU SHOULD BE METICULOUS IF YOU INTEND TO HAVE HIS BACK!" Another voice states, "HOW ABSURD... HAKI IS A POWER THAT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD AND TAMED!!" A shocked figure cries, "WHAAATI! YOU DIDN'T KNOWI! IT'S BEEN OOZING OFF YOU!" The final line declares, "I HAVE CONQUEROR'S HAKII"

Hajrudin glares furiously at the bound giant Loki while shouting, "HAJRUDIN, YOU'RE PATHETIC! YOU'D RATHER SIT BACK AND LET THESE OUTSIDERS SAVE OUR HOMELANDI!" Loki roars back with a massive speech bubble, "I'M RIGHT HERE!! USE ME!!" An old giant on the ground yells, "HEY, OLD MAN! WHAT ABOUT MEI!" Hajrudin continues his angry tirade in close-up, "JUST LIKE YOU DID ON THAT DAY! HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO TRUST YOUI!" Loki snaps with a fierce grin, "YOU COULD EASILY STAB ELBAF IN THE BACK AGAIN!!" and "WHO'S TO SAY YOU WON'T SIDE WITH THE GOVERNMENTI!" At the bottom of the page, Luffy suddenly appears in a helmet, yelling "HEY, LOKI!" with a shocked "!I" as a distant figure calls out, "HAJRUDIN! HURRY!! WE CAN'T LET THE CASUALTIES PILE UP ANYMORE!!"

Luffy stands atop a massive structure and shouts, "JOIN MY CREW!" while Loki reacts with shock. A voice warns, "IF HE DOES, THEN YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN IF I FREE HIM, RIGHT, HAJRUDINI" Luffy grins excitedly and declares, "BUT HE SEEMS OKAY TO ME! BESIDES, IF HE TRIES ANYTHING, I CAN ALWAYS BEAT HIM UP!!" Hajrudin and another giant protest, "ELBAF DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT HIM..." and "YEAH, THINK OF THE FOOD SUPPLIES!! HE EATS EVEN MORE THAN YOU DO!!" with "HUHI! GET REAL, LUFFY! THERE'S NO WAY WE'D FIT HIM ON THE SHIP!" Loki then roars defiantly, "I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW HE FIGHTS!" and "DON'T MESS WITH ME, YOU RUNT! THERE'S NO WAY I'M BECOMING YOUR UNDERLING!" as a background voice mutters, "YOU'RE GOING OFF YOUR GUT, HUH, STRAW HAT...I"

Luffy reacts with surprise as Hajrudin explains, "SORRY, STRAW HAT, LOKI IS A CONDEMNED CRIMINAL IN ELBAF. I CAN'T JUST HAND HIM OVER TO YOU!" Loki yells "I'M COMING NOW!" while being restrained, and Hajrudin shouts "WHAT ARE YOU DOINGI THE LIFT'S READY TO GO!" and "HAJRUDIN!" A close-up shows Loki's scarred face as he growls "...LOKI." and "RELEASE..." The giants react in horror. Multiple panels then detail Loki's crimes: "HE'S THE WORST CRIMINAL OUR COUNTRY'S EVER KNOWN!" "HE KILLED HIS OWN FATHER IN COLD BLOOD!" "HE LEFT ELDER JARUL AT THE BRINK OF DEATH!!" "14 YEARS AGO, LOKI MURDERED 113 MEMBERS OF THE CASTLE GUARD!" One giant demands, "WHAT WAS THAT, YA-SANI!"

Luffy is shocked, exclaiming "WAITI! DID YOU JUST SAY SHANKSI!" and "WHAT THE-I!" Hajrudin replies, "SHANKS AND I WENT THERE TO INVESTIGATE, LOOKING BACK..." and "IT'S POSSIBLE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE WHOLE STORY." A giant adds, "ON THAT DAY, I FELT A STRANGE EMANATION OF HAKI COMING FROM OUEST CASTLE..." Loki yells "YOU WENT TO THE CASTLEI!" while another voice snaps, "HEY! DON'T CALL SHANKS DUMB!" and "THIS DUMB SHANKS THING AGAIN..." A warrior growls, "ZORO!! SANJI!! I'LL CATCH UP IN A BIT!!" and "STANSEN, I'M SORRY! GO AHEAD WITHOUT ME!" Loki demands, "IF YOU TRULY CONSIDER YOURSELF A WARRIOR OF ELBAF, SWEAR ON OUR GODS THAT WHAT YOU SAY IS THE TRUTH!!" and "TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CASTLE 14 YEARS AGO, LOKI!!" A voice urges, "YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO EXPLAIN, LOKI!" while another calls out "G'ABAN...!!" Hajrudin finishes, "HAJRUDIN, WHO ELSE CAN GET HIM TALKINGI YOU MAY HAVE HAD DIFFERENT MOTHERS, BUT YOU'RE STILL BROTHERS."

A boy with a straw-hat-like cap stares in shock as someone asks, "YOU REALLY WANT ME TO RELIVE THAT DAYI!" A girl with braids replies coldly, "THAT'S CRUEL, BROTHER." Nearby, a bandaged figure grins while another voice mutters "..." In the next tier, figures look upward in alarm: "LOOK! UP IN THE SKY!" "IT WAS AN AWFUL DAY...!!" "I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER..." The page shifts to a sweeping view of Elbaf's Ouest Castle fourteen years ago. A small winged figure flies near the towers as narration states "ELDER JARUL JUST ARRIVED TOO!" Cheers erupt from the crowd: "UWAAH!! IT'S LOKI!!!" "DOGA HA HA HA HA!!" "PRINCE LOKI HAS RETURNED!" A massive impact SFX shakes the stairs leading to the castle gates.

At the castle entrance, a massive horned warrior with a club confronts an elderly giant. "YOU SEEM WELL, OLD MAN!! YOU HAVEN'T GROWN SICK OF LIFE YETI" the warrior booms. "QUIET, YOU!" the elder snaps. Silhouetted guards report, "THE KING IS IN THE AUDIENCE CHAMBER." "HE SUMMONED YOU TOO, LOKII" Inside the grand hall, the elder retorts, "I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS STUFF. POLITICS IS A YOUNG MAN'S GAME." Loki growls, "YOU'RE BEING LOUD..." A bandaged elder with a wide grin wonders, "IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION ELBAF'S HEADING, THEN I'LL OPPOSE IT!!! HE SOLD OUT TO THE PEOPLE WHO KILLED ROCKS!" Another voice adds, "I WONDER WHAT HE WANTS... IT'S HARD TO CARE ABOUT THE WHIMS OF A GOVERNMENT DOG!" Loki continues ranting, "NOW WE'VE GOT A WHOLE GENERATION OF PEACE-ADDICTED BRATS WHO CAN'T EVEN HOLD A WEAPON!" "WE'RE IN THIS MESS BECAUSE YOU KEEP SPOUTING THAT KIND OF NONSENSE!"

In the throne room corridor, a voice yells, "IT'S YOUR DUTY TO WHIP THEM INTO SHAPE!! COWARD!!" Another figure questions, "HMI WHAT'S THAT SOUNDI" "IT'S COMING FROM THE THRONE ROOM!!" A large silhouette walks ahead. The bandaged elder laughs, "OF COURSE." Loki stammers, "I- I MEAN YOUNG MASTER! IT'S A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU BACK!" A woman thanks, "THANK YOU FOR COMING, ELDER JARUL." Chaos erupts as Loki swings his massive club: "GYAHH!!" "OPEN UP, IDIOT!" The elder cries out, "OLD MAN!! I'M BA--" while Loki roars, "G'AAAH! YOUNG MASTER, VIOLENCE IS...!!" A guard shouts, "HE SUMMONED ME!! AND THIS IS MY HOME!!" Impact SFX and debris fill the air as the fight spills through the hall.

Outside on a sunny cliff, two figures relax by Gyaban's house. "THIS IS THE BEST!!" one exclaims. "WHAT A STAGGERING VIEW..." Another asks, "RIGHTI! HA HA HA!!" They reminisce: "THAT LONG, HUHI" "IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS SINCE THE CAPTAIN DIED." "GET REAL!" "HOW LONG'S IT BEEN, THREE, MAYBE FOUR YEARSI" "IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE SINCE WE'VE SHARED A BATH..." One man notes, "THAT MUST FEEL LIKE FOREVER AGO TO YOU, HUHI" They discuss the past: "SAY, REMEMBER LITTLE GARDENI THE ISLAND WHERE WE MET DORRY AND BROGYI" "OF COURSE!" "UNDERSTANDABLE, YOU WERE A CHILD OF DESTINY, BUT LET'S NOT DWELL ON TRICKY TOPICS TODAY, SHANKS." The woman replies, "STILL, ELBAF... THERE ARE SOME THINGS I'D LIKE TO KNOW..." "I HONESTLY JUST WANTED TO BE A CAREFREE PIRATE WITH BUGGY." "YEAH, LIFE'S COMPLETELY CHANGED!!" Back at the castle, a giant silhouette bursts through the gates as soldiers shout, "YOUR MAJESTY!" A massive impact SFX erupts. A terrified face screams, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOINGI!" Another yells, "HARALDI!"

Inside a cozy giant-sized room, a blonde woman with a scar laughs warmly while holding a steaming pot. "HOT ENOUGH, YA-SANI SHANKUNI" she asks. Nearby, a long-haired man startles, "WHOA, YOU SCARED ME, SHANKUNI!" as another figure sprawls back shouting "BAHA HA!! IT'S GREAT, THANKS, RIPLEY." Smoke and bubbles fill the air. In the next scene, Shanks sits relaxed with a baby on his lap, sipping from a bottle. "HAVE SOME LINGONBERRY TART! AND HELP YOURSELF TO DRINKS!" he offers. "SO THIS IS WHAT A HUMAN-GIANT HOUSEHOLD IS LIKE... THIS SPOT REALLY IS THE BEST!" Nearby, a scarred man with a cigarette winces, "OUCH! YOU BRAT! IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT OUT OF THIS COUNTRY ALIVE, YOU'LL ZIP IT..." while another voice asks, "SHANKUN, GOT ANY JUICY OLD STORIES ABOUT YA-SANI" On the floor, a young man with glasses chats with a spiky-haired companion, "YEAH, I MET HIM AT MARY GEOISE. WE GOT ALONG ALRIGHT." A voice wonders, "DO YOU KNOW HARALDI HE'S THE KING OF ELBAF. THE PEOPLE THINK OF HIM LIKE A GOD."

Close-up on two intense faces. "BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE," a mustached man with sunglasses declares. A scarred companion replies, "NOW THAT WE'RE BOTH IN THIS COUNTRY, I REALLY WANT TO TALK TO HIM... WE COULDN'T SPEAK FREELY IN THE HOLY LAND." The scene shifts to a dramatic flashback of a burning castle. Text boxes read: "ELBAF'S MOST BELOVED KING," "THAT DAY, THE MASSACRE AT THE CASTLE TOOK PLACE..." and "HARALD THE BENEVOLENT, LOST HIS LIFE..." Panicked giants scream "HELP!!" and "LET US OUT! WHO CLOSED THE GATEI!" A massive silhouette appears as narration states: "THE FORBIDDEN DEVIL FRUIT PASSED DOWN WITHIN ELBAF. BUT JUST HOW DID THIS MAN COME TO BE SO HIGHLY REGARDED BY HIS PEOPLEI" A chained gate looms while a voice cries "WHAT'S THISI!" and "ELDER JARUL!!"

A chaotic splash page shows young King Harald rampaging through Elbaf's castle, laughing "BARA HA HA!" while people flee. "GYAAAH!!" screams ring out as he accidentally crushes structures, yelling "WHOOPS, MY FOOT SLIPPED!!" A subordinate begs, "YOUR MAJESTY! PLEASE STOP THIS!!" Text reveals: "HARALD BEGAN HIS REIGN AT 45 YEARS OF AGE IN HUMAN TERMS. JUST 15 IN GIANT TERMS. DESPITE THIS, KING HARALD..." was feared as "THE GIANT WARRIOR PIRATES!" A ship sails with "109 YEARS BEFORE THE PRESENT DAY" and "A LONG, LONG TIME AGO..." Panels show terrified civilians and warriors. Luffy's face appears shouting "GO ON! TELL ME WHO YOUR GOD ISI!" as narration continues: "...WAS PURE SCUM!" Other boxes note the immense fear Harald's reputation evoked, with a man exclaiming "HEHE!" and a woman reacting in shock. The page ends with "ONE PIECE CH.1152 / END".
