Summary

Harald, still raging under the covenant's grip, taunts Loki that the legendary fruit lodged in the chamber can never be claimed, since its keeper Ragnir lashes out at anyone it judges unworthy. Scopper Gaban and Shanks press their assault, with Gaban noticing that fresh wounds now cost Harald real pain and slow his recovery, hinting that relentless pressure can topple a Knight of God. Gaban also recalls that such knights buckle against Conqueror's Haki, the very tool the Roger Pirates once used to drive them off whenever they came hunting for Shanks. Loki battles the guardian directly, snapping his own hammer in the process, and Ragnir, revealed as a squirrel-shaped Zoan, relents and lets the giant swallow the fruit at last.

Key Events

Transformed by the fruit, Loki overpowers Harald and channels his strength through Ragnir, which briefly restores his father's mind. Harald confirms that his son also carries Conqueror's Haki and acknowledges him as a worthy heir to Elbaph. Knowing the covenant will soon retake him, Harald begs Loki to end things, confessing that the pact warped his thoughts rather than fully seizing his body. He reveals he understood why Loki burned down Brewers Village over Ida, and that the depth of that grief moved him. As the corruption surges back, a weeping Loki unleashes a Haki-charged bolt through Ragnir that breaks Harald apart.
