Dressrosa — the Corrida Colosseum, Block C (Ch. 714) — first major fight

• Dominates the Block C free-for-all as “the most powerful pirate mercenary alive,” explicitly a giant of Elbaf, “the Land of Giants” — first on-page statement of his origin (pp. 11–12). Fights to seize the Flame-Flame fruit and “become the king of the giants”; his punches land “like a ferocious bolt of lightning.”
• Crushes the coliseum’s Brutal Bull (“Moocy”) and seemingly the masked “Lucy” (Luffy) with overwhelming size and power (pp. 15–16) — “the mighty rookie of Elbaf.”

Dressrosa — “Gungnir” fells Machvise (Ch. 770) — the Spear of Elbaph

• Crushed under Machvise’s “Destructive 1,000-Ton Vise” then “Hellish 10,000-Ton Vise” on the plateau steps (pp. 12–13), the giant of Elbaf rises with one arm left — “Dead men serve no purpose… Taste the last of my life!!” — and unleashes “GUNGNIR!!!!” (p. 14), launching the 10,000-ton officer skyward into the top of the Birdcage, which slices him to bits (pp. 15–17). His “become the king of all the giants” dream lands its first Donquixote-officer kill-assist; Zoro finishes Machvise on the way down. Chapter title “The Spear of Elbaph” keys to Gungnir (Odin’s spear). See Colosseum Fighters Pledge To Luffy Grand Fleet Seed.

Dressrosa — the Giant Pirate Crew dream; Grand Fleet #6 (Ch. 799)

• Snatches the exhausted Luffy and hauls him to the waiting ships (“Put him right on the ship!!”).
• Declares his dream: rebuild “the Giant Pirate Crew that once shook the foundations of the world” — the crew of “Master Dorry and Master Brogy” — and “one day stand atop all of giantkind.” Captioned “Giant Mercenary Hajrudin”; currently four fellow mercenary giants. Usopp reacts “I can’t wait to go to Elbaf!” (p. 14). See Dorry Brogy Giant Pirate Warrior Band 100-Year-Old Bounty.

Whole Cake Island — Elbaf flashback cameo (infant) (Ch. 867)

• Appears again in Big Mom’s Elbaf origin flashback — a newborn/infant giant captioned “Hajrudin” in the festival crowd (p. 9), i.e. an infant on Elbaf at the moment that birthed Big Mom’s grudge against the giants’ homeland. (Easter-egg cameo; caption flagged uncertain-but-legible.)

Elbaf — referenced (Ch. 1129) — named, not shown

• An Elbaf giant — revealed to be one of Hajrudin’s own New Giant Pirates — rails that Hajrudin “cast aside his dignity and became [Luffy’s] henchman,” fuming that this by extension makes him, “as a member of the New Giant Pirates, a henchman too” (p. 14). The first on-page sign of dissent within the New Giant Pirates over Hajrudin’s Straw Hat pledge. His New Giant Pirates were escorting the Straw Hats when the crew vanished (p. 13).

Elbaf — the youngster reveal; captain of the New Giant Pirates (Ch. 1130) — referenced, not shown

• Reveal (referenced by Dorry/Brogy’s crew, p. 10): Hajrudin was once “this youngster… on our crew” — a former member of the Giant Warrior Pirates — and is “the son of a king.” Now “your follower” (Luffy’s Grand Fleet).
• His crew of giants (Goldberg cook, Gerd doctor) is captioned on-page as the New Giant Pirates (p. 4) — the realization of his long-stated “Giant Pirate Crew” dream; the new note creates him as captain (inferred — only Goldberg & Gerd are captioned as members @1130).

Elbaf — first SHOWN present-day: Captain of the New Giant Pirates (Ch. 1131) — SHOWN

• First on-page appearance since the Whole Cake flashbacks. The roster panel (pp. 14–15) captions Hajrudin as Captain of the New Giant Pirates (“self-proclaimed Straw Hat Fleet”) — one of the seven Straw Hat Grand Fleet captains; his realized “Giant Pirate Crew” dream, now with cook Goldberg, doctor Gerd, shipwright Stansen, navigator Rodo.
• Leads his crew hauling the Thousand Sunny and a slain beast up from Elbaf’s Underworld to the village for the Straw Hats — “this meat is for my saviors!!” (pp. 13–15). A “Hajrudin refresher” recaps Dressrosa (caught in Doflamingo’s plot, rescued by the Straw Hats) (p. 14).

Elbaf — referenced aboard the returning ship (Ch. 1132) — referenced, not shown

• Referenced aboard the returning giant ship with Stansen; the escort giants Gerd & Goldberg introduce themselves as “Hajrudin’s friends” (p.12). Ties Hajrudin’s giant band to the Straw Hats’ Elbaf welcome.

Elbaf — welcomes the Straw Hats; names the New Giant Pirates aloud (Ch. 1133) — SHOWN

• Welcomes the Straw Hats to Elbaf’s Western Village as captain of his giant crew; a crewman announces “the four of us are the New Giant Pirates, at your service!!” (another correcting to “Five…”, p. 7) — the crew’s on-page caption-name (first established Ch. 1130) now voiced in the welcome. Reunited with the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, they hail Luffy as an Emperor of the Sea; doctor Gerd guides Nico Robin to the Owl Library.

Elbaf — his crew carried Saul to Ohara (Ch. 1134) — referenced, not shown

• Saul recounts that “Hajrudin’s crew” carried him back to Ohara to recover the library’s books — the salvage that became the Owl Library’s Ohara archive (p. 14).

Elbaf — provided the feast’s moose (Ch. 1136) — referenced, not shown

• With Stansen, provided the moose for the giants’ welcome feast — “Thanks a bunch, Hajrudin and Stansen!!” (p. 2). Referenced/thanked; not clearly depicted this chapter.

Elbaf — revealed as King Harald’s son, Loki’s half-brother (Ch. 1137) — flashback (shown)

• Ch. 1137 (pp. 7–9) reveals Hajrudin is the other son of King King Harald — Loki’s half-brother, born to a woman from a different giant nation before Harald married the queen; Elbaf’s bigotry (“giants from other areas tarnish the blood of Elbaf”) denied her the throne. Despite that pain, Hajrudin’s dream is to unify all of giant-kind (“I’m the man who will be King of all giants!!!”, flashback p. 9).
• Flashback (p. 8): young Hajrudin befriends the bullied chart-drawing Rodo (“You can draw sea charts?! …Show me how to do it!”) — why Rodo rides with the New Giant Pirates despite Elbaf’s prejudice.
• See Elbaf Royal Family, King Harald.
