Inside the Western Village, Killingham summons a MMA resembling the mythical God of Rain Zaza to kidnap the children and flood the village.
Long Summary
Loki says he can still feel Imu's presence after blasting him and that it is difficult to keep him in sight when he becomes so big. Imu, meanwhile, says he never expected to see "Nidhöggr" again, labeling him a "traitor" before he coughs violently. It begins to snow and Imu calls it expected as "Nidhöggr's" affinity with Ragnir, which is confirmed to be a Devil Fruit user with the power of the Risu Risu no Mi, Model: Ratatoskr, was always high, even in the past. He also muses how Ragnir looked the same as it waited for a new master to serve, but Ragnir becomes enraged by Imu and it, along with Loki, unleash a simultaneous attack called Ragna Go-Arrow, firing a blast of lightning and snow at Imu. However, Imu counters with a move of his own called Tzitzimitl, unleashing a barrage of black fireballs that set the forest below them ablaze.
Bonney watches the fight from afar and calls it scary just as Lilith tells her to come back over to her. Bonney does so and assures Lilith she will not join the fight, and even if she wanted to, Lilith would forbid her because she is her guardian now. Lilith wonders who Imu is, stating he commands the Knights of God, yet is not one of the Five Elders, so she surmises that with the World Government having existed for eight centuries, power struggles would only lead to the creation of more darkness. Just as she is about to say something, though, Sanji, who she was attending to, gets back up to rejoin the fight, despite Bonney warning him about his injuries. Sanji says he has no choice, as he recalls when Killingham found him being paralyzed, he told him he was going to finish their mission and resume kidnapping the children, before leaving by using his body as a springboard to launch himself in retaliation to Sanji's earlier victory against him. Sanji then takes off into the air and declares he will not let Elbaph, the country that Luffy and Usopp love so much, suffer like this (though he admits it is also the home to beautiful giant women that he enjoys).
At the Owl Library, Robin and Saul discover a hidden tunnel around the back that leads to a secret room, and it is here that Biblo took all of the books. Robin and Saul express gratitude to Biblo for saving the books while Saul admits he is even more confused by the nature of Biblo's existence than he was before. As for Sommers, he uses his enhanced strength from Imu's Omen to grab another Giant ship to transport the children and demands the giants to bring them to him in five minutes.
At Western Village, Chopper treats Gerd's fingers, saying that because the cut Imu made was so sharp and clean, her fingertips will reattach, but it will take months for her to fully recover. Gerd thanks Chopper but expresses frustration that she cannot help others despite being a doctor herself. Colon thanks Chopper for treating Ripley and everyone else, but he says he merely performed emergency care, and once this disaster is over, he can treat everyone properly. Road offers to give Gerd his fingers, but she nonchalantly rejects him, though she admits she came to respect him a bit after seeing him risk his life for his brother, which makes him excited to the point he gets a nosebleed.
Zoro, meanwhile, is getting a ride from Goldberg, who at this point is the only member of the New Giant Warrior Pirates not badly wounded, and he expresses his gratitude to Zoro for his help, something Zoro chalks up to Luffy's belief that the country of his friend is also his country, thereby solidifying Hajrudin's immense respect of him. Zoro then says to Goldberg that Imu's power is nothing like he had seen before, so they need to finish this fight quickly before things truly get out of hand.
Killingham contacts Sommers and informed him that he messed up because he accidentally created a MMA of what he himself is afraid of, which Sommers chews him out for as it will scare him too. Still, Killingham assures he can control the MMA, but they need to hurry up and finish the mission. Sommers asks about Gunko and Killingham says he saw her on the way over but thinks she has perished. Though shocked, Sommers accepts this and says that Imu's body can not withstand outside of the Holy Land, but the fact that he is here in person means the both of them need to make sure they do not disappoint him. It then begins to rain and the downpour is severe enough to flood the Western Village as a large arm made of water grabs the children as per Killingham's orders.
According to Killingham, Mary Geoise is situated above the rain clouds, so rain is actually a terrifying thing for the World Nobles. Because of that, aside from Nika and the D. Clan, the only other thing that scares them is the Rain God that appears to the rhythm of prayers for rain, known as "Zaza", and it is this very thing he personally fears that he created to finish their mission. Zoro sees the chaos at the village but decides to keep moving forward, at the same time moving past Sanji who was heading in the other direction towards the village. Both of them then tell one another to make sure they do their jobs properly as they prepare to battle the Knights of God.
