A nightmarish game. The conspiracy of the Holy Knights:

Saul tries to stop the sleepwalking children, but when he tries to grab Ylva, he is hurt by an invisible vine that surrounds her. From the village where the feast is being held a group of giants is sent to extinguish the fire, but their svalr is destroyed by one of the monsters created from the children's fears. In the forest of the Underworld, the Holy Knights enjoy a meal while they are observing the chaos. It's revealed that Sommers is a Thorn Man who ate the Iba Iba no Mi. For his part, Killingham is a Dream-Incarnating Man who ate the Ryu Ryu no Mi model Qilin. Meanwhile, Loki is still out of control and Hajrudin tries to convince him to stop. Luffy decides to hit Loki causing him to fall to the ground, thus realizing that his injuries were indeed serious. Luffy pleads Hajrudin and his men to treat Loki's wounds and save his life. Hajrudin briefly recalls his childhood, how his father wanted both his sons to take care of Elbaph. However, Loki did not accept his brother's bastard origins and physically abused him. Hajrudin momentarily thinks about using his axe to end Loki's life, but Loki tells him that deep down he knows he didn't wanted to kill their father.

One whose death brings celebration:

Gaban blocks Imu's attack while the tree impaling Luffy is sliced into pieces. Gaban approaches Luffy and lifts him up by the neck, scolding him for having to be rescued by a wounded old man. Gaban tells him that if he wants to be the Pirate King, he has to be prepared to be everyone's target. Immediately afterward, Gaban throws Luffy aside and continues trading blows with Imu. Gaban confesses to Imu that his captain is the former Pirate King and that Imu’s determination to kill Luffy confirms that he is the one they have been waiting for. Imu prepares to finish off Luffy with his "Stigma", and Gaban tries to stop him with an attack that severs the branch of Adam they are standing on. Loki’s group watches as the branch falls onto the Underworld, crushing its mountains. Gaban lies on the branch, missing an arm after their latest exchange.

Monsters appear. "What scares" attacking Elbaph:

The children warn that the school is under attack by a giant snake. Saul and Principal Kiba go out to confront the snake and manage to defeat it with ease to the surprise of the children. However, the school is still not safe, they found a teacher seriously injured and several children began to walk to the beach in a sleepy state. The teachers blow the alarm horn, while the shadows of new monsters appear in the forest and new children fall asleep. Meanwhile, in the Underworld, Loki urges to be released of the kairouseki shackle from his leg. To make them hurry, Loki strikes the Treasure Tree Adam with his Ragnir hammer, causing a lightning to strike it and start a fire. Back at Walrus School, Ange comments that the monsters that are appearing have a suspiciously resemblance of the children's drawings of their fears. The teachers watch as a crowd of monsters approaches the school while Sommers asks Gunko if there is anything she is afraid of, to which she replies "Nika".

The great sinner of Elbaph. Loki of the Underworld freed!?:

Nami returns with Road and the giants who guarded the castle to the party in the village. At the Treasure Tree Adam, Ripley tells Franky that the giants have always lived on the branches of the tree and that each one has its history. Franky catches sight of a cut branch and Ripley explains that this is where the town of Haugen used to be, but after a fire caused by lightning it was cut down, as there is no way to put out a fire once it starts. At the village party, Nami finds Usopp totally drunk. Usopp introduces Nami to Jarul telling him how attractive she is, but the leader of the giants says that his type is an older woman, which causes Usopp to laugh since Jarul must be the oldest one in the world. Meanwhile, Gerd is suspicious of Road and manages to get out of him Luffy's plan to free Loki. In the Underworld, Luffy and Zoro find Loki badly wounded and surrounded by dying animals. Zoro is still not sure about freeing Loki and says that they will let him with one foot chained. Gerd arrives on the scene along with Hajrudin and the rest of the New Kyohei Pirates to prevent them from freeing Loki, but it's already too late and Loki stands up.

King of the World:

Imu impales Luffy with his sword against a tree. Immediately, Usopp senses that something is wrong with Luffy. Meanwhile, Brook has already freed Gunko from the ice, though she remains unconscious. At that moment, Hajrudin and Gerd arrive and crash their svalr into Loki. Meanwhile, Imu summons a new sword that he uses to impale Luffy against the tree once again. Loki begins to recount to everyone the warning Shanks gave him in the past when he wanted to seek revenge for his father. The person Luffy is facing is the King of the World, Shanks told him that his goal was to take Elbaph and that Loki’s priority should be to prepare for a future war. Back to the fight, Imu summons an axe this time. All these weapons belong to the nineteen founders of the World Government, and through "Omen", he is sharing them with Sommers and Killingham. Imu prepares to finish off Luffy with the axe, but just then, Gaban steps in to block the attack.

Steal the key! Luffy vs. Scopper Gaban:

Luffy tries to steal the key by extending his arm to grab it, but "Ya-san" does more than just dodge and goes on the attack. Luffy decides to use his Gear Fifth and with Zoro prepares to fight for real, but at that moment the old man decides to surrender and hands over the key. Road is about to tell them who he really is, but the old man decides to leave asking them to look for him before leaving Elbaph if it is still safe by then. At the Walrus School, the children catch a glimpse of the strange bird in which the Holy Knights are traveling. After taking land, Gunko summons a magic circle called "Abyss" in which Sommers and Killingham arrive. Shamrock asks why two of them came when he only requested one person, to which they reply that he must return to Holy Land. The new Holy Knights are upset because they will not be able to use the "Abyss" to transport the children and will have to do it in a ship. Shamrock suggests that they use their abilities to turn the capture into a "game".

The legend lurking in Elbaph. The identity of the "Mountain-Eater":

Luffy's group goes deeper into Aurust Castle until they find a magic circle on the floor of the throne room. Luffy is sure he has seen something similar recently, but before he draws any conclusions someone throws an axe at them. Road identifies that person as "Ya-san", the former pirate who was Ripley's couple and thus Collon's father. Luffy tells him that they are looking for Loki's key, to which Ya-san warns them that only Shanks was able to stop him. He agrees to help them anyway and asks Road to move the throne to reveal a secret passageway. In town, Oimo tells the crew group that stayed at the party about a former member of Roger Pirates who resides in Elbaph. It's said that when Roger was at a hospital in the mountain, that man protected him from hundreds of enemies using only his two axes. When the battle was over, there were no enemies left and all the trees had been cut down, earning him the nickname of "Mountain-Earter". Meanwhile, Luffy's group arrives at a room full of empty treasure chests where only one key remains. Ya-san tells them that this is because even thieves wouldn't want it, as he prepares to confront them for the key. At the same time, Oimo continues with the story explaining that the man was the left hand of the Pirate King, Scopper Gaban.
