Elbaph in despair. The devil's covenant, "Domi Reversi":

Both the Kyohei Pirates and the Elbaph giants reach the children's location, but a strong Ambition wave produced by Imu causes the weaker ones to lose consciousness. Gunko's body possessed by Imu has taken a devilish appearance with wings and a devil's tail. Brogy traps Imu in his hand, while ordering his nakama to go and save the children. But Imu tells Brogy to go and kill Jarul, and together with Dorry, they will proclaim themselves the new kings at his service. Imu summons a magic book from which he conjures a dagger and a huge double-barreled gun. Imu uses the dagger to stab Brogy's hand and free himself, then fires the gun disintegrating Brogy's wrist. Imu then summons a magic circle that swallows Brogy and causes him to resurface with a devilish appearance and a size that is huge even for a giant. Dorry and the rest of the giants begin to be converted as well. In the village, everyone tries to convince Jarul to leave, but for the old man it is not something a warrior would do.

All things are subject to change:

Sommers is surprised at how close the last attack came, but he realizes that Zoro is unable to control his "dynasty traits". Zoro stabs Sommers in the back while he is distracted, grazing his heart once again. Sommers summons his "Ibalauncher", but Zoro cuts through the shower of thorns and manages to sever his hand. However, his attack remains incomplete, and Sommers continues to regenerate. Sommers combines his ability with "Gram" for his next attack, but in the exchange, both the "Ibalauncher" and the ship are destroyed. Zoro continues to cut Sommers to pieces as Sommers regenerates, until suddenly one of his hands falls lifeless to the ground. Zoro recalls Mihawk's words about "dynasty traits", defining them as "one’s very self". Sommers' face then falls as he realizes that Zoro is finally able to control it.

A desperate second. Gaban vs. the Holy Knights:

Ya-san continues fighting with Sommers and this time his attack manages to cut him in two at chest level. Without wasting any time, Ya-san starts running in search of the children, while Chopper chases after him interested in discovering how he managed to cut someone who is supposedly immortal. Meanwhile, Ange has already set the Owl Library on fire, while Killingham concludes the task by throwing a fire arrow at the school. Having fulfilled the demands, Gunko orders Ronja to leave the platform. Just then, Ya-san arrives to rescue the children, but Gunko pounces on Collon and threatens to kill him. Ya-san can see that the threat is real and decides to surrender, and is pierced by Gunko's arrows. Collon's screams calling for his father awaken a memory in Gunko where Brook appears. This causes Gunko to try to help Brook, but at that very moment, Gunko's body is possessed by Imu who, impatient with getting his army, decides to intervene.

Protect history and the future. Robin and Gaban go on the attack:

A platform-shaped arrow separates Ronja from the children line and puts her on the verge of falling from the top of the tree. Sommers threatens saying they have 30 seconds to comply with their demands or they will start throwing the children. Robin arrives at Sommers' location and interrupts him with an attack. Robin uses one of her submission techniques to pin Sommers and causes them both to fall from the top of the branch. Sommers tries to free himself by growing thorns on his body, but Robin turns out to be one her clones, the real one was freeing her nakamas. Sommers saves himself from falling by growing a vine of thorns with which he is suspended from the tree branch. Meanwhile, Ronja speaks out to the people of Elbaph saying how much she appreciates the school and the library, she is willing to sacrifice herself to keep both. However, Jarul wrapped in tears cannot help but give Ange the order to burn both places to save the girl. At that moment, Sommers manages to return to the branch and neutralizing Robin by wrapping her with his brambles. But suddenly someone cuts Sommers' arm and for some reason it doesn't regenerate. Scopper Gaban appears and neutralizes Sommers with another attack.

Still practicing:

After taking the combined attack from Loki and Luffy, Imu crashes into the trunk of the Adam Treasure Tree. Loki transforms into his hybrid form to finish him off, but Luffy can't take it anymore and collapses to the ground. Brook's group is watching the battle, and it seems that Gunko is finally beginning to regain consciousness. Meanwhile, at the Owl Library, Biblo leads the group to a chest containing something important that has been passed down through generations. In the western village, the giants face off against Zaza as they try to save the children. At the port, Sommers grows desperate as Killingham is delayed. Sommers surrounds Zoro with his brambles. Zoro think about how to use his "dynasty traits" to harm him while recalling the story Loki told them. Zoro realizes that Harald wanted Loki to shatter his "steel heart", the source of his immortality. Zoro cuts through the brambles and pierces Sommers, grazing his heart. He then apologizes, saying he's still practicing.

We won't stand for it!!:

The combined attack sends Imu flying. Immediately afterward, Loki leaps onto Imu and tries to crush him with Ragnir. Imu flies and manages to dodge the hammer blow, but Luffy arrives with a rain of blows mid-air. Imu uses the swords Tohu and Bohu to create a shield to block the punches, then slams Luffy into the ground. Gaban keeps urging Hajrudin to flee with Luffy, since he doesn’t even know the reason for this battle. However, Usopp interrupts him and says that Luffy’s past experiences with all his giant friends are enough for him. Usopp asks them to stop projecting Nika, Joy Boy, or even Roger onto Luffy. This is who he is, and they won’t let the expectations they place on him ruin his freedom. Back to the fight, Loki charges Ragnir with lightning for a powerful attack. Luffy then has an idea and steps into the hammer’s path to be sent flying toward Imu, landing a powerful punch that pierces through his shield.
