The Most Unrestrained Form

Harald honored the code of a warrior and handed Fleet Admiral Kukulkan's desiccated body to his subordinates.

He wanted the Fleet Admiral, who had been controlled by Imu, buried with a warrior's honors.

Harald still held the Fleet Admiral in high regard.

"I could have reached an even higher realm!!"

Imu unleashed God-level Conqueror's Haki in a frenzy and glared viciously at Houka.

Houka had captured four of Imu's contracted followers—Garp, Sengoku, Gunko, and
