Over the past two years, the Holy Knights had quietly set up many magical teleportation arrays across the world.
They had even tried to set one up on Elbaf.
Unfortunately for them, the Rocks Pirates were stationed there, leaving Imu no opportunity.
Still, quite a few hidden magical teleportation arrays remained on islands in the New World that had once been conquered.

If the Rocks Pirates let down their guard, Imu would have the perfect chance to pick them off one by one.
In the original timeline, Harald, who had been granted the Deep Sea Contract, had set up a magical teleportation array in his own Aurust Castle.
The array still worked even after Loki killed Harald.
Later, after Shanks and Elbaf joined forces to subdue Loki, the timeline reached the point where the Straw Hat Pirates appeared.
Shamrock and Gunko teleported straight to Aurust Castle through the array Harald had left behind.
Gunko could also set up magical teleportation arrays at any time. She used one in an Elbaf village to summon Shepherd Ju Sommers and Rimoshifu Kiringham directly.

Like those immortal monsters, he could have appeared
