Harald was tasked by World Government to help the Marines in secret to defeat pirates as part of Harald’s vow to atone for “giants’ thousand years worth of sins”. We see Harald cutting a pirate ship in two in the middle of the sea.
Narrator explains that there was a rumor spreading among the countries on the Grand Line that on the seas with heavy mist, lived a monster that mainly targets pirates. But narrator says too that Harald is not the “Florian Triangle monster” because he attacked ships in other regions too.
Narrator says that after God Valley incident, some pirates that participated in that event conquered the seas (Roger. Newgate. Linlin, Kaidou…).

After Roger’s death, Harald was promoted by the Five Elders to “Devoted Blade of God” (a confidant of the “Knights of God”). He was marked with a tattoo on his left arm.
Harald: “What an honor!!”
Five Elders: “There are three stages to the “contract”. “Surface Sea Contract” is but a faint tie.
“Deep Sea Contract” and “Sea Floor Contract” are the real vows exchanged between the 13 chosen and “God”
Harald: “”God”…?”
Nusjuro: “If a day should come… where you are to be granted with the title of “Knight of God…”
Harald: “Will “Elbaph” be welcomed into the circle of “World Government” as well!?”
Five Elders: “Indeed.”
Garling gave Harald a long distance Den Den Mushi to contact him immediately when necessary.
