Chapter 1172 summary
The lift ascends to the Sun Realm while giants discuss the three intruders who abducted children from Elbaf. A woman uses an arrow ability to control the kids, Summers manipulates thorns from the Thorn-Thorn Fruit to bind them, and a third intruder manifests their nightmares as real threats. The children march toward the harbor under these protections, and any attempt to intervene risks turning them into pincushions. The giants resolve to target the ability users directly. They arrive amid explosions and rampaging monsters that overwhelm ships and structures. Dorry and Brogy lead a charge but are shot down. Hajrudin fights the creatures while Kashi, recently returned from the realm of the dead, urges him to listen to urgent news as the battle intensifies.
