• Naito failed to draw the giants into a dream, and he and Loki waited as the freed giants began breathing.

Loki and Naito freed the Great Hammer Pirates, ancient giants who had been frozen for eight hundred years, and learned that they had been waiting for a decisive battle. The awakened giant recognized Iron Thunder and began to reckon with the loss of Dōsan and the vanished history of his time.

• A Marine rear admiral and his soldiers confronted Loki and Naito, but Naito’s aura knocked them unconscious before they could interfere.

• Loki introduced himself as Elbaf’s prince, and the giant recognized Iron Thunder as the squirrel that had chosen Loki as its new master.

Beli and the Great Hammer Pirates agreed to help Loki continue Dōsan and Joy Boy’s unfinished war, and Naito offered Pluton’s blueprints so they could build another battleship. As the group left Punk Hazard on Loki’s giant black dragon form, Admiral Kizaru arrived and faced them in the sky.

• Kizaru arrived at Punk Hazard, confronted the flying dragon, and asked Loki not to kill him.
• Loki answered Kizaru with an enormous bolt of lightning.

• Kizaru told Sengoku that a gigantic black dragon and a light-wrapped fighter had attacked him at Punk Hazard, and that the fighter seemed connected to Byrnndi World.
• Kizaru reported that the two had freed the frozen giants and left with them, so Sengoku decided to alert the Five Elders.
• The Five Elders identified Loki as the likely wielder of Nidhogg and Iron Thunder, and discussed the threat posed by him, the Great Hammer Pirates, and the man behind World.
• Imu ordered the God's Knights to search for their enemies and said he would descend if necessary, then noticed that Elbaf's teleportation array had been destroyed.
• Enel arrived at Castle Aurust on Elbaf after Night King ordered him there.

Enel destroyed Elbaf’s teleportation circle and warned Scopper Gaban that the Night King and Loki had freed the Great Hammer Pirates, potentially drawing the King of the World’s attention to Elbaf. The God's Knights set out for Elbaf as Loki’s ship carried the awakened Great Hammer Pirates away from the island.

• Enel destroyed the magic circle in the castle and told Scopper Gaban that the Night King had freed the Great Hammer Pirates with Loki and warned him that Elbaf might face the King of the World’s attention.

• Zephyr prepared to sail from G-14 Base despite Gion’s concern about the danger of facing Loki and the Night King.
• As Gion wished Zephyr victory, they both looked up at a figure slowly descending from the sky.

Luna warned Zephyr to remain on the island, but he attacked and the two clashed above the harbor. As Gion joined the fight, Naito took control of Luna’s body and unleashed a terrifying presence that left Zephyr stunned.

As the Marines and Five Elders discussed the Night King and their search for Loki, Loki and the Great Hammer Pirates tested a device that concealed their island.
