14 years ago, Shanks disappeared just before he will be promoted to a “Knight of God”. So Harald, the next one in line, was offered the chance instead. Harald accompanied the Five Elders to the empty throne room.
Harald: “Once elbaph becomes a part of the “World government”…I’m planning to let go of my crown, and give it to someone young and pure…’
Imu: “That… Is something mu will decide.”
Harald was shocked to see there was someone sitting on the “Empty throne”.
Harald: “Why… Is someone on the “Empty throne”…?”
Imu: “Come forth. I have been watching thee, Harald.”
A huge scream resounded throughout the “Pangea castle”.
Imu changed harald’s mark to “Depths covenant” mark (the same Killingham has in the present)
Harald: “Aaargh!!! I can feel it…!!! My “Power” is increasing… To an alarming level!!”
Imu: “From this moment forth, thou art a “Knight of immortality”. A servant of mu…”
Harald: “Immortality…. Still sounds like a dream to me…”
Imu: “Craft an “Abyss” (pentagram) in elbaph for me, as a mark for the bond between us…!!And later, after the completion of mu’s final order… The fruition of thy hard work will be realized!! Elbaph shall be allowed to join the world government!!
While Imu said that words, we see Harald returning to Elbaph in his ship.
Then Harald created the “Abyss” in the throne room of the Aurust Castle.
However, Imu’s next order for Harald was to turn Elbaph into a military nation with a fleet as great as the marines. Harald tried to resist but his body started moving on its own. The condition of “Depths covenant” was that he can never defy Imu’s orders.
Harald ordered soldiers to tie him to a pillar and summon Jarul and his sons at once. Hajrudin was out at sea so only Loki and Jarul were summoned to the Aurust Castle.
