----------
Daichi stayed in Hoenn Community for a few days.
Except for Ace, who couldn't stay put and went out every day to fight and conquer pirates who overconfidently challenged Whitebeard.
The rest of the commanders enjoyed their current life, and several commanders' romantic relationships showed signs of blossoming.
As homeowners in the villa area, they were priority targets for the property management. Faced with the girls' warm greetings and inquiries, it was hard for them to maintain their composure.
For the girls, it would be a highly sought-after good thing if they could be with the commanders in the future.
In this chaotic world, a stable life was already a luxury, and both sides were unfortunate souls, so they had quite a lot to talk about.
"I never thought I had the potential to be a matchmaker!"
Daichi was filled with emotion.
What was a casual move at the time now seemed to have been the right one. In another year, Whitebeard would definitely have grandchildren.
Hachinosu, Port.
The Groudon was docked alongside an enormous Viking warship, which belonged to the New Giant Warrior Pirates.
"We'll take you to Elbaf!"
Hajrudin's face was full of resentment.
After several days of thought, he finally decided to invite Daichi to Elbaf, mainly because he was afraid Daichi would cause trouble.
With them monitoring, even if something went wrong, they could find a way to stop it in time.
"Let's be clear, you absolutely are not allowed to cause trouble in Elbaf!"
"No problem, I promise you!"
Daichi agreed with a smile.
He knew almost nothing about Elbaf, and there wasn't much relevant information in the Beast Pirates' and Stussy's intelligence.
Therefore, having the Giants as guides would save him a lot of trouble.
And his goal.
Of course, it was to cause trouble!
"Set sail!"
The Viking warship led the way, with a huge chain connecting the Groudon, which followed behind like a lifeboat.
Only then did the people on the ship realize their destination.
"Going to Elbaf?!"
Yamato's eyes sparkled.
She had heard of Elbaf. It was where the Giants lived and was known as the "World's Strongest Nation."
Wow, so exciting!
Others were not so optimistic.
Elbaf was one of the most dangerous islands in the New World, where countless strong individuals had fallen. It was said that the environment there was comparable to hell.
Page One thought of what happened in Labor Country before, and his expression changed slightly. "Brother-in-law, Elbaf is Shanks's territory. Are we going there to get revenge?"
"More or less."
Daichi nodded with a smile.
Strictly speaking, Elbaf did not belong to Shanks's territory, and the proud Giants disdained being protected by a Yonko, but in outsiders' eyes, it was so.
Only the Red Hair Pirates could freely enter Elbaf.
Ulti heard her brother's words and asked in confusion. "Page One, what do you mean by seeking revenge on Shanks?"
"Big sis, before..."
Page One recounted Shanks's invasion.
"What?!"
Ulti burst into flames of anger. "That mere Shanks dared to cut my boyfriend. I must kill him!"
"Calm down, big sis!"
Page One quickly tried to appease her.
It was because of this bad temper that the subordinates didn't dare to report!
"Hahaha, don't be nervous."
Daichi shook his head with a smile. "I've already checked the Red Hair Pirates' movements. They are not in Elbaf currently."
"That's good."
Page One breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really worried that Daichi would act recklessly.
A war between Yonko was no small matter. Even if the Beast Pirates could win, they would pay a heavy price.
Daichi smiled.
There was something he didn't say: the Red Hair Pirates would definitely return.
The probability of meeting was high!
Courtesy demands reciprocity. Shanks had visited the Beast Pirates' territory, so he had to return the favor.
This concerned his big plan to buy houses.
Currently, in the New World, apart from the territories of the other Yonko, the acquisition of other islands was proceeding in an orderly manner, albeit slowly, but with no major obstacles.
Next were the territories of the Yonko.
He didn't want to go too far with Whitebeard's territory to avoid conflict, as Whitebeard was still alive, and it would be his sooner or later anyway.
Big Mom's territory, apart from Totto Land, had very few other scattered territories and was not a very good target.
That left only Shanks.
After several days of sailing, the surrounding environment became increasingly strange.
Page One looked at the giant fish he had just caught, which was even larger than the ship, and was momentarily dumbfounded.
"This fish is too big!"
Normally, giant fish would mostly live in deep waters, but in the past few days, he hadn't seen any small fish.
All of them were incredibly large.
His fishing spirit was burning!
Daichi came next to Page One and looked at the enormous fish. "This means we are almost at Elbaf."
"Elbaf!"
Page One's eyes were burning with excitement.
He also wanted to see how powerful the "World's Strongest Nation" truly was.
Daichi pointed to the dense fog ahead, where a huge dark shadow was vaguely visible.
"Look over there!"
"So big!"
Everyone came to the deck, looking at the enormous island ahead and the towering tree on it.
"It's even bigger than Wano Country!"
Yamato's eyes widened.
Wano Country, in her impression, was already the largest island, but compared to the island in front of them, it looked like a child.
Hajrudin leaned over the ship's rail and shouted to Daichi and the others.
"Hey, humans!"
"We're almost at Elbaf!"
"Don't wander around on the island. It's very dangerous in there. If you get eaten by the beasts of the underworld, I won't be responsible!"
"Understood!"
Daichi waved in acknowledgment.
Behind him, his subordinates' teeth chattered.
Underworld? Beasts?
Along the way, they had already experienced several crises, with countless enormous sea beasts and giant fish appearing one after another.
Are there even more terrifying monsters on the island?
They just wanted to go home!
Ten miles away behind them, the monitoring warship stopped. The officers looked at the extremely dangerous sea ahead with serious expressions.
They didn't have a Giant warship to clear the way.
"If we go any further, we'll be in danger!"
"Immediately report to headquarters!"
"Daichi the Destroyer has arrived at Elbaf!"
The news quickly reached Marineford.
"Bang!"
Table HP-1.
"It's that guy again!"
Sengoku's face was pale and uncertain.
The last thing he wanted to hear right now was news about Daichi, yet Daichi couldn't stay quiet for a moment.
This time he went to provoke Shanks again.
"How is Kuzan?"
"Still recuperating."
The staff officer reported nervously.
After several days of treatment, Admiral Aokiji was out of danger, but this defeat seemed to have dealt him a considerable blow.
Garp came to the office.
"Sengoku, let me go this time!"
Sengoku frowned and slowly shook his head.
He was afraid Garp would act recklessly.
Nothing had happened yet, so for now, they only needed to observe. If they really needed to act, they couldn't easily send Garp.
Garp was the last trump card!
The three Admirals couldn't be deployed. Based on the known intelligence, Daichi the Destroyer's ability had varying degrees of restraint on all three Admirals. Apart from the Admirals and Garp, there was only one option left.
To deal with Daichi the Destroyer, it was best to have a strong martial artist or a special ability user. According to the intelligence currently held by the Marines, Daichi the Destroyer had a clear weakness.
"We will observe for now. If it's truly necessary to launch an expedition!"
Sengoku took a deep breath, his gaze cold.
"Then we will summon the Warlords!"
