After a long while, Harald sighed deeply and said softly, "Rocks... perhaps meeting you in the Holy Land back then, and getting involved with you, was the worst decision of my life."
After saying that, Harald fell silent again for a long time. Then he turned toward the Giant warrior waiting nearby and said, "Change of plans. We won't land on God Valley. Go straight around it and keep going along the route to God Valley."

The Saber of Xebec sailed onto the route to God Valley.
The sea was wide and calm. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, spreading patches of shimmering light across the water.
On deck, Ron, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Linlin each held fine liquor, some leaning against the railing, others sitting on it, each in a different pose.
"Ron, this 'Imu' you mentioned sounds so troublesome, but you don't seem all that worried yourself." Linlin leaned against the ship's railing, glancing sidelong at Ron as she asked curiously.
"Me?" Sitting on the railing facing the sea, Ron turned his head and said calmly, "That goes back to when I helped you last time. He accidentally pricked me that time. Then I discovered I was immune."
"Hmm?" There was no envy on Linlin's face. Instead, she smiled and said, "What if what Imu used that time wasn't the real [Black Conversion Domination]?"
Ron rolled his eyes at her. You're just trying to scare me, aren't you?

Everyone merely glanced at him, then looked away
