Yamato’s Triumph in the Cover Story
Before the main story begins, the cover page showcases Ogre Child Yamato’s Golden Harvest Surrogate Pilgrimage, Vol. 28. Yamato makes an impressive return by single-handedly defeating Who’s Who with a powerful Raimei Hakke (Thunder Bagua). This moment highlights Yamato’s continued growth and combat prowess, reinforcing why they are one of the strongest warriors in Wano.
The Chaos at Walrus School – Saul’s Heroic Entrance
The chapter opens at Walrus School, where panic ensues as a monstrous snake named Jörmungandr terrorizes children. Just as it prepares to devour one of them, a giant warrior wielding a massive hammer arrives to save the day.
“Step out of my way, children!!” the warrior commands as he smashes the snake with a devastating blow. Before the serpent can recover, Jaguar D. Saul makes a grand entrance, landing a Haki-infused punch that buries Jörmungandr into the ground. His dramatic arrival is met with admiration from the children, revealing the existence of Kiba, the current Walrus School principal and a former member of the Giant Warrior Pirates.
Kiba, whose face resembles a walrus with two long tusks, wields an enormous hammer matching his appearance. The children are amazed to discover that both their principal and Saul were once powerful warriors. This segment provides crucial insight into Elbaph’s culture, where even educators have deep-rooted ties to the battlefield.
Robin and Chopper Hidden in Saul’s Beard
Adding a touch of humor, Robin and Chopper emerge from Saul’s beard, having hidden there while escaping. Their interaction brings comic relief to the tense situation as they discuss the increasing number of strange occurrences in Sun World.
Robin: “Saul, there are monsters like this in the Sun World too!?”
Saul: “No, there should just be normal wild animals…”
Chopper: “It’s huuuuge!!”
Their exchange subtly hints at anomalies within the environment, possibly linked to the mysterious phenomenon affecting the school.
The Sleepwalking Children and Growing Danger
The chaos escalates as a teacher named Mr. Wolf is found injured, and children suddenly start falling asleep mid-action. Saul, sensing something strange, asks the remaining kids where their missing friends have gone.
The shocking answer? The missing children are sleepwalking towards the beach, following an eerie path led by an arrow shot by Gunko.
Robin: “Asleep!? But weren’t they walking!?”
Giant Children: “Yeah!! They don’t respond at all!”
This development takes a dark turn, reinforcing the mystical and supernatural elements emerging in Elbaph. The eerie march of the children suggests an external influence, possibly tied to Loki’s actions or an unknown enemy.
More Monsters Appear – Kiba Orders Emergency Measures
As if the situation wasn’t dire enough, massive shadows emerge from the forest, revealing more colossal monsters. Kiba, recognizing the imminent danger, commands an emergency response:
“Blow the horn!!! Let the whole country know!! Evacuate the school immediately!!”
This call to action signals a large-scale disaster, forcing the giants to rally together in defense of their homeland.
Loki’s Rampage – The Attack on Treasure Tree Adam
Meanwhile, deep in the Underworld, Loki stands face-to-face with Luffy and the others, wielding his weapon, Ragnir. Despite his injuries, Loki remains confident in his power, dismissing the effects of the remaining Kairouseki (Sea-Prism Stone) cuff on his leg.
Loki: “You think you can restrain my power with a single Kairouseki cuff? How naive…”
Hajrudin desperately tries to stop him, but Loki smirks before swinging Ragnir like a baseball bat, striking Treasure Tree Adam. At the exact moment his attack connects, lightning crashes from the sky, igniting a massive fire in Sun World.
The fire spreads rapidly, throwing Elbaph into turmoil. Witnessing the chaos from the village, the giants at the festival react with alarm:
Giants: “Master Jarul, a fire broke out in the southern part of the island! And wasn’t that the horn being blown just now!?”
Jarul: “Fire is bad!! Hurry with the extinguishing of it!!”
The Children’s Fears Manifest into Reality
Back at Walrus School, Ange reveals a chilling truth—she had earlier asked the students to draw “The Things I Fear.” The kids had created terrifying illustrations of Fenrir, Draugr, Loki, and even Nika.
Ange: “This is a world straight out of the children’s worst fears!!”
In a massive double-page spread, the school is suddenly surrounded by giant monsters, each resembling the children’s drawings. These creatures include:
Niohoggr: A Colossal Dragon
A massive dragon, Niohoggr with shimmering blue-black scales, towering over mountains. Its form eerily mirrors Kaido’s Azure Dragon, exuding an overwhelming presence. Legends whisper it once rivaled the world’s strongest warriors. Its breath scorches the land, and its thunderous roars shake the seas, evoking Kaido’s past reign of terror.
A Helmet-Wearing Gigantic Bear
A gigantic bear clad in battle-worn armor, resembling the Mink Tribe’s warriors. Some speculate it’s an ancient guardian of Elbaph, trained in the Walrus School’s combat arts. Its helmet, forged from Treasure Tree Adam, suggests a connection to powerful warriors of old. It’s feared for its brute strength and resilience.
A Giant Bird
A legendary avian creature with wings spanning an entire island. It is said to have once roamed the skies of the Grand Line, resembling the South Bird but far more massive. Some believe it shares traits with King’s Lunarian race, capable of withstanding extreme conditions and emitting bursts of fire.
A Frightening Thundercloud Spirit
An ethereal being formed from pure lightning, akin to Big Mom’s Zeus but far more ancient. It is rumored to be a remnant of Raijin’s wrath, manipulating Raimei Hakke-like thunder strikes. Some speculate it was created by ancient weather-controlling Devil Fruit users, serving as a guardian of hidden knowledge.
A Ghostly Entity
A spectral figure shrouded in mist, resembling the haunting powers of Brook’s Yomi Yomi no Mi. It appears during moonless nights, whispering forgotten truths. Some say it is the lingering will of a fallen pirate crew, bound to cursed waters where even the bravest sailors fear to tread.
Draugr (A Giant Skeletal Warrior)
A terrifying undead behemoth, clad in rusted Viking armor, wielding a great sword that once cleaved islands. It is believed to be an ancient warrior of Elbaph, cursed by dark forces. Its monstrous form mirrors the tales of undead warriors revived by Gecko Moria’s Kage Kage no Mi.
Fenrir (A Massive Wolf)
Fenrir might be the last of an ancient wolf species, larger than even Zunesha. Its howl is said to shake the very foundations of islands. Some believe it is linked to a mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, granting its user the ability to transform into the legendary beast itself. Its boundless rage is said to be the reason no invader dares to enter its domain.
A Furious Loki-like Entity
A shape-shifting trickster, bearing an eerie resemblance to Prince Loki of Elbaf. It wields illusionary powers, warping reality around it. Some say it is the manifestation of the Giants’ wrath, created from their collective hatred towards invaders. Its ability to manipulate fear rivals even Blackbeard’s Yami Yami no Mi.
A Terrifying Warrior Resembling Black Nika from Harley Book
This warrior might be the closest resemblance to the legendary Sun God Nika, his fiery aura and lightning-like attacks mirroring Luffy’s Gear Fifth. He moves with an unnatural rubber-like flexibility, wielding a club like Kaido, yet fighting with a carefree grin. Some theorists believe he is a forgotten guardian of an ancient kingdom, erased from history like the Void Century itself as seen in the Harley Book and the Mural Painting on the Treasure Tree Adam.
This eerie phenomenon suggests a supernatural force is bringing their fears to life, making the situation even more unpredictable.
Gunko’s Fear
The chapter ends ominously with Gunko, Sommers, and Killingham watching everything unfold from a distance. Shamrock does not appear in this chapter, but the sinister tone of their conversation implies a greater scheme at play.

Killingham: “Alright, everything is in place… Zzzn.”
Sommers: “Ah, good work, Killingham.”
Killingham: “The time limit will be till those brats arrive at the ships!! You think they will be able to get them back before that!?”
Sommers: “Gihaha. ‘Love’ is all about hurting each other.”
The last panel sees Gunko being asked a cryptic question:
Sommers: “Hey Gunko… You got anything you fear?”
Gunko: “NIKA!!!”
