Chapter Summary
The chapter starts with the lower-world people appreciating the giants and wanting to meet them in person. The dark history of the giants is fading because of the efforts of King Harald, and people are eager to get Elbaf goods. Now, giants are also being recruited into the Navy and helping them, so people are beginning to see them as protectors. As readers, we can see that all those decisions whose outcomes King Harald took seemed successful… or did they?
King Harald first met Imu and was shocked to see someone seated on the Empty Throne. By Imu’s powers, He officially promoted to the depths covenant, became a Holy Knight, and his Abyss mark was changed. He gained immortality powers and had his strength buffed, which was also acknowledged by the Five Elders, who commented that he was more than a monster and that at this point, he was a weapon.
After returning to Elbaf, he was happy because his dear country would be among the World Government member nations. But the happiness faded quickly when, in Aurust Castle, he was given a duty by Imu to use the entire country to make an army of warriors and build a giant fleet to rival the Navy, which was totally against the ideology of King Harald. At that moment, he knew he got played and brutally betrayed by the higher-ups, and the mark which was given by Imu on his hand started controlling him to follow orders.
We see King Harald order to tie him with chains to the pillar and call Elder Jarl and both his sons, but at that time Hajrudin was on a journey and Loki was in prison, who was released immediately and ordered by the soldiers to visit the king. The situation becomes chaotic, and as readers, we all know how it will end.

Artwork & Style Favourite Panel
I really like how Oda perfectly portrays each person’s grief over Ida’s death, giving beautiful panels and reactions to them: the king, who hides his tears; his stepson Loki, who becomes lonely again; and the beloved son, who is crying immensely.

Conclusion
The tragic story of King Harald will most likely meet a fate similar to his best friend, Rock D. Xebec, which is classic storytelling by Oda. It shows how the character was brutally played and ended up with a result he absolutely never wanted for his country. The way Oda frames the cruelty of power and politics in the One Piece world—no matter how noble or well-intentioned a person is, higher powers can twist their destiny, leaving heartbreak and loss in their wake.
