The chapter begins with Loki taking the fight seriously against his new adversary. He transforms Ragnir into its hammer form, aiming a powerful strike at Imu, who counters it with a wave of his ominous black flames.

Imu then expands his physique to nearly that of Loki and conjures a massive black sword named “Nemesis, ” reminiscent of Mihawk’s legendary sword “Yoru.” This results in a critical strike as he pierces Loki’s chest.

As the battle intensifies, Imu shares his thoughts on humanity’s insatiable quest for power, leading to corruption and the need for domination through forced pacts. In a gripping moment, Loki defiantly asserts that he will never submit.

In a reminiscence that hints at a deeper backstory, Imu recalls a time when he and Joyboy appeared to be friends, resulting in a passionate exclamation: “Isn’t that right, Joyboy!!!”

The confrontation escalates as Loki launches a surprise attack, crashing Imu into the Adam Tree and shifting into his dragon form, Nidhogg. In a fierce exchange, Nidhogg attempts to unleash a devastating attack on Imu, yet Imu miraculously survives the assault. The chapter concludes dramatically with Imu’s cryptic smile, uttering, “So you have returned…”

Be aware that One Piece is taking a short hiatus next week due to Shonen Jump’s Golden Week break in Japan, meaning readers will have to wait a bit longer for the next installment.
