Cover Page: Oni Child Yamato's Golden Harvest Surrogate Pilgrimage, Vol. 35: "Sumo tourney in Hakumai! Hurling Urashima's big brother, yokozuna Sukune"

As the chaos continues with the rampage caused by the demons and other monsters, Imu reveals to Killingham their plans to continue until the "Heart of Elbaph" has been subjugated. A flashback of the events from a few minutes ago occurs, where Chopper was able to save Gaban when he was falling and both had ended up in the Underworld where Luffy's group is. Upon learning of both Gaban's true identity, and the situation in Sun World, Hajrudin orders this crew to prepare to return to Sun World so they could save Elbaph, to which Loki states they will need his help for this situation.

Kashii begs the transformed captains to not kill Jarul because he is the world's oldest living giant and a hero of legend, but Brogy says it is because he has become so old now that they must kill him, and Dorry announces that once they do the both of them will take their places as Elbaph's new kings and bring about an era of war and ruthlessness. The giants try to contain the two of them but some of them get transformed into demons because of how close they are the two, prompting the rest to retreat. Ripley overhears that Gaban had been taken down by the enemy and starts rushing to her son's side. Unfortunately, the captive children are asleep once again, so Killingham (now in his hybrid form) can manifest more MMAs. He also starts reviving the ones that were downed previously, saying that now that Imu has taken the stage, he has no need to hold back. The captive Straw Hats watch as the country descends into chaos while the giants continue to try and save the children, with some of their mothers stepping in. Sommers asks Imu how long will this carnage last, and Imu declares they will go until the country's spirit breaks, also adding that if Harald had not messed up in the past, they would've conquered this country by now.

A few minutes earlier, Chopper curses himself for jumping off after Gaban without a plan, but he manages to get ahead of him and use Guard Point and save Gaban from the fall. Elsewhere, in the Underworld, Loki tells Hajrudin to beg him for answers regarding their father, but Hajrudin refuses. Luffy then senses that Chopper has landed somewhere, but even he does not know how he could tell it was him. Loki also senses them and the group decide to go out and find them while Gerd and Goldberg stay to watch over Loki. Loki tries to convince the two of them to unlock his chains but they refuse, just as Mosa contacts Loki. Mosa tells Loki that they will not be able to call him for a while, but they tell him that their conversations always helped him, which they wanted to thank Loki for. Mosa's words make Loki think they are in danger, but Mosa denies it as they hang up, leaving Loki worried. Gerd, who heard everything, tells Loki she is happy he found a friend to keep him company while stuck in the Underworld, but Loki tells her not to say a word about it.

Hajrudin and Luffy's group return and the former tells Gerd to get her medical supplies ready. Luffy tells Gaban that he is fortunate that Chopper was the one to save him, just as he is finally told Gaban's true identity as a member of the Roger Pirates, which leaves him stunned. The giants also tell the Straw Hats that Gaban and Rayleigh were considered Roger's "wings" and that Gaban was the third strongest of them, with Zoro coming to understand how Gaban was so strong when they fought him earlier and Luffy figures that Gaban does indeed know Shanks. Gaban does wake up (to which he retorts he considers himself the second strongest), and Chopper informs everyone about what is transpiring in the Sun World.

The group then sense Imu's immense burst of Haki, which leaves Gaban worried, and Hajrudin orders his crew to get back on the lift to return to the Sun World, with Luffy prepared to join in the counterattack. Loki, meanwhile, laughs that the immense Haki they just felt means they are going to have to set him free after all.
