Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

If we follow the general idea, Yakumo Shiro will naturally not refuse an opportunity to intervene in Elbaf's affairs, especially the legendary devil fruit. For himself who can master the abilities of multiple fruits, it may be a great help.

But unfortunately, Yakumo Shiro can't, at least not now, or even if he intervenes, it would be best if it is difficult for others to notice.

The most fundamental reason is that I still know too little about this country.

Although Elbaf is not closed, it is located deep in the New World and the island does not welcome outsiders, so people's understanding of giants is limited to some groundless rumors or the rare giants wandering on the sea.

Whether it is the World Government or the pirates, their understanding of this country is only superficial. You can never predict what kind of unknown power is hidden behind this country.

Fishman Island has the ancient weapon Poseidon, and Pluto is buried deep in Wano Country. What about Elbaf? This country, which is closely related to the "Dawn of the World", besides the strictly preserved devil fruit, does it have any hidden cards?

Could it be that, in addition to pure physical combat, they really won't turn their attention to devil fruits? What kind of strength will the giants with three types of fruit abilities have?

Unlike the original Wano Country, most of the truth about Elbaf is buried in a fog. Before doing sufficient intelligence work, Yakumo Shiro does not intend to get too involved. At least, he has to wait until the role of "Lola" is fully utilized before he can gradually implement the plan.

However, despite this, although Yakumo Shiro did not accept Loki's request for cooperation, he gave a little help as a "friend" - a small toy to confuse the mind, a simple clockwork fox doll - specially customized for the giants, a small means to achieve the other party's goal without bloodshed~

"Hahaha~ Can such a little thing really achieve the effect you said? Make that old man give up the throne to me?"

Looking at the cute little fox in his hand, Loki asked in surprise, perhaps with a deep-hidden fear in his mind.

"Of course, after all, I am quite good at making toys~

Oh, don't forget, it's a one-time thing, so it's best to trigger it at the right time. Otherwise, in front of a determined Elbaf warrior, a little fox alone won't be able to conquer his spirit~"

Nodding with satisfaction, Yakumo Shiro explained kindly.

"So, we still have to fight, right?"

Hearing this, Loki smiled, as if to thank God, and seemed to be looking forward to the battle with his father.

"Well! Although it's a bit regrettable, thank you very much! Brother Yakumo! I will find a chance to go to... Inazuma, right! I will go and visit her in person!

It just so happens that I also want to see how Kaido, the King of Beasts, can be called the strongest creature! Hahaha!"

"Haha~ The strongest creature? I want to see it for myself. After all, I'm also curious whether the new king of Elbaf can take away this title."

"...kihaha...huh?"

Loki's laughter suddenly froze for a moment, but when he saw Yakumo Shiro showing a similar smile to his own, he couldn't help but burst into even more shocking laughter.

"Hahaha! As expected, we are meant to be friends, no, partners! I didn't expect... you would also be one of them!"

"Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious, but I don't have the same thoughts as you!"

"I understand! I understand! I understand!"

"Hmm... I guess you don't understand at all?"

With a helpless sigh, Yakumo Shiro shook his head and decided not to bother with this traitor about whether he was cheating his father or not. He then asked,

“It’s just a small favor, but as a reward for your cooperation, it should be enough for me to get some unknown information, right? For example, what does Elbaf think of that tree? The towering tree that stands in the center of the island?”

"Ha! You mean it?"

Hearing this, Loki followed Yakumo Shiro's gaze and looked at the giant tree shrouded in shadow behind him. Darkness and moonlight intertwined on it, and from afar, it exuded an indescribable mystery. Even the giants could only look up, and inevitably feel a sense of oppression from the bottom of their hearts.

Decades have passed, and although it has become commonplace, Loki still cannot forget the awe and insignificance he felt when he looked up at the tree for the first time since he became conscious. It is a chasm that almost no one can overcome!

"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said. After all, Elbaf doesn't know much about it either."

Loki said with a rare serious look,

"You should know! The strongest tree in the world is called the Adam Tree! In fact, it is one of the rare tree species born from the seeds of this world tree, and they are only distributed here, in Elbaf!

And on the sea, the Tree of Omniscience, which had long been destroyed by the Navy's demon-killing order, and the Sun Tree Eve of Fishman Island, are both its descendants.

It is unknown how those seeds crossed the ocean and grew on a distant island, but what is certain is that he was definitely a stupid and kind guy! "

Loki said with disdain,

"The World Tree that grows in the land of war, the trees that grow from its seeds, in addition to providing shelter, will inevitably bring strife and war to all parts of the sea!

The World Tree worshipped by Elbaf, the closest being to the Sun God, is also cursed!

The guy who spread the seeds had good intentions, but he might have caused disaster to the ocean!"

............

Just as Loki said, even the giants who have lived at the foot of the World Tree since ancient times do not have a very clear understanding of this mother tree. Apart from the legends passed down by word of mouth, there is no news about the origin of the World Tree, or the mother tree of the devil fruit that Yakumo Shiro is looking forward to...

Maybe the so-called mother tree doesn't exist? All devil fruits are just born on certain fruits in response to people's wishes?

It was too long ago, and it was no longer possible to verify it, but based on the information provided by Loki, Yakumo Bai still came up with a few interesting guesses -

According to legend, the world tree in mythology has three roots, and at the feet of the roots there are three magical springs, which respectively symbolize destiny, wisdom and origin. If the tree of omniscience is the concentration of wisdom, then where will destiny and origin point to?

Adam? This is an extremely rare wood that won’t be damaged for hundreds of years. Besides its scarcity, its growth cycle must also be extremely long, right?

And this time...perhaps is eight hundred years?

In this case, Adam represents destiny, and Eve represents origin - a magical tree that can transmit sunlight, and that origin is the sun!

But sadly, where Eve, who symbolizes the sun, is, there is bottomless darkness.

Right above Fishman Island is the Sabaody Archipelago, and above the Sabaody Archipelago is the "blood-stained long snake" stretching across the sea, carrying on its back the holy land, Marijoa!
