Since we were already relatively close to Elbaf, it wasn't long until the silhouette of the Island appeared in the distance, and such a sight only caused me to grin since, even from a distance, I could sense the might of that Island. However, what took the full focus of my eyes was the utterly massive tree at the center of the Island; it reminded me of how I had envisioned the world tree would look like from Norse mythology.
'What was that tree called again? Ydrasil? Yasil? Yamigal?' Thought Diddy with a thoughtful expression as he gazed at the massive tree in the distance while rubbing his chin.
"Woah." "Now that's massive, alright." "I thought Zunesha was huge, but this is on another level." Remarked Chala, Trenza, and Grand as they stared at the massive tree at the center of Elbalf, which took up nearly eighty percent of the island.
"This is spectacular!" Muttered Janet in disbelief as she began taking numerous pictures with her hands, causing photos to spontaneously manifest at her feet.
"Is that the Treasure Tree Adam?" Asked Reiju lightly as she turned and glanced at Sebas, who chuckled before nodding.
"Hoho, I see Judge didn't keep all of his knowledge to himself. Yes, that is Treasure Tree Adam; the strongest, highest-quality wood in the entire world, and not just by a small margin either." Stated Sebas with a faint smirk as he patted his chest before glancing at Reiju, who flashed a small smile while brushing aside her hair.
"Do you think I can destroy it? If anyone was curious, that's what Diddy is thinking." Remarked Freyja with a faint smirk as she glanced at Diddy, who glanced at her before chuckling in amusement.
"Hehe, you're wrong… I know I can destroy it. I'm just curious if I can do so in only one attack." Stated Diddy with a feral grin while baring his fangs, his words causing Freyja to roll her eyes.
"I wonder if I can destroy it?" Muttered Bullet softly with a thoughtful expression as he stared at the tree, causing Freyja's expression to twitch.
"I'm surrounded by idiots." Muttered Freyja softly, her words prompting Mael to snort while Sebas chuckled.
"Hoho, pot calling the kettle black, it seems." "Tsk, yet you'd still love to drink from this pot." Remarked Sebas and Freyja, respectively, as they glared at each other while the latter smirked before spreading her legs, causing the former to scoff.
"You didn't deny it, Father." Said Scar with a blank expression as he glanced at Sebas, who grunted in annoyance while grumbling under his breath.
"She's the most beautiful woman in the world, Scar; some things are better left unsaid." Replied Sebas as he looked at Scar before glancing at the smirking Freyja, only to inwardly groan in annoyance.
"Hey, shut up about that slut; we've got bigger things to worry about!" Stated Diddy as he glanced at his crew and pointed towards Elbaf, causing everyone's gaze to somewhat harden.
"Oi, I call dibs on the male giants; they've got vitality like no other. Huh, speaking of Giants, I should try to find Little Oars Jr; I bet he's got a monstrous amount of vitality." Declared Freyja boldly as she stood up and approached the roof's edge while sporting a hungry expression, muttering the last part to herself.
"Do as you please; I want a rematch with Dorry." Said Chala, shrugging her shoulders while Grand nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I want to fight Brogy again." Added Grand with a grin as he placed Chala on his shoulder while the two eagerly stared at Elbaf.
"Are you fucking stupid? Why the hell would I listen to you?" Asked Mael in confusion as he stared at Freyja as if she were stupid, prompting Freyja to release a breath of demonic flames his way.
"Because I'm stronger than you, and I said so, Boy. If you've got a problem, fight me for it, though that's pointless since we already know the outcome." Replied Freyja as she looked at Mael, whose expression morphed into rage, yet someone else made a move before he could do anything.
"If that's the case, I want all the Giants." Stated Bullet with a feral grin as he provokingly eyed Freyja, who raised an eyebrow before stepping toward him while transforming into satan's soul.
"Oh, I'm more than eager to see if that's true." Said Freyja with a sadistic smile as she trailed her elongated nails across Bullet's neck, causing him to laugh.
"Kahaha, bring it on-" Said Bullet, though he couldn't finish speaking as Freyja had uppercut him into the sky before following after him.
"Heh, perfect." Muttered Mael with a wicked smile as he flew after the duo, only for a sharp blade of wind to stop him dead in his tracks.
"Alright, Mael, let's keep things fair." Said Scar with a frown as he floated in the air above Mael, blocking him from Freyja and Bullet.
"Tsk, good. I'm eager to know how strong the weakest amongst really is." Stated Mael with a ferocious expression as he brandished his axe while lunging towards Scar, who sighed before propelling himself to him.

"Eh, shouldn't we stop them?" Asked Janet as she glanced at the battles happening above them, the clashing of their haki practically announcing themselves to everyone on Elbaf.
"Why would we? Leave them be; besides, we've just arrived at Elbaf." Replied Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he glanced at Janet, only to shake his head with a grin while shifting his focus to the island in the distance.
"Haha, c'mon Chala!" Stated Grand with an excited grin as he ran forward before leaping off of Pandemonium, only to land on the frozen ocean while dashing towards Elbaf.
"Hoho, I can't be left behind. Would you like a lift, Janet?" Asked Sebas politely with a chuckle as he turned and looked at Janet, who nodded with a smile before helping herself onto his back, causing his expression to twitch.
"T-That wasn't needed, but so be it." Added Sebas with a wry expression as he flew through the air, heading right for Elbaf, leaving Diddy, Reiju, and Trenza.
"He's my ride, don't look at him like that, Reiju." Said Trenza as she narrowed her eyes at Reiju while leaping into Diddy's embrace, only to slam onto the ground.
"O-Ouch. Y-You were supposed to catch me!" Added Trenza as she eyed Diddy while standing up, though he just gave her a blank look.
After some more grumbling, Trenza latched herself onto my back, prompting me to leap into the sky before propelling myself through the air as I rapidly approached Elbaf; however, since I wanted to make quite the entrance, I decided to smash into the nearest port town.
"Hehehe, kaboom." Muttered Diddy with a feral expression as he violently smashed into a well while an EMP-like explosion of lightning erupted from his body, engulfing the entire town.
Pushing some bricks off us using my haki, I grabbed Trenza off my back and set her down while I observed my surroundings, eyeing the numerous Giants that were motionlessly lying on the ground from my earlier attack.
"They're not dead, are they? I made sure to hold back." Asked Diddy skeptically as he approached a nearby Giant.
Kicking the Giant onto her back, I observed her, only to smirk when I realized she wasn't dead; she simply couldn't move as I had overloaded her nervous system,
"Are they dead?" Asked Trenza as she approached Diddy, who shook his head with a faint smirk.
"Nope, just unable to move. Have someone chain them or something; I'm going to cut the Tree." Ordered Diddy as he glanced at Trenza before pointing towards the Treasure Tree Adam at the center of the Island, causing her to nod before raising an eyebrow.
"Okay, I can do that, but what's the point of cutting it?" Replied Trenza as she gave Diddy a curious look, only for him to laugh while leaping into the sky.
"Haha, 'cause I can!" Stated Diddy, his words causing her face to twitch before she simply waved her hands while sighing.
Flying towards the tree, I holstered Naga-sa onto my back, and when I reached the perfect height and distance, I summoned Nimbus and stood upside down on it as I began to rapidly twirl, building momentum as I intended to cut the tree in half with a kick.
It only took a few moments for me to create a tornado from how fast I was spinning, and when I finally reached my top speed, I pushed myself off of Nimbus and coated my leg in lightning while timing the attack with the pulse of my heart, further strengthening the attack.
"Beastly Sickle!" Stated Diddy as he kicked towards the tree, launching an utterly massive sharp blade of wind arcing with lightning that cut through the air.
The closely it drew towards the tree, the larger it became, until eventually, it sliced into the tree, releasing an explosion of haki as the tree seemingly tried to resist its demise, but its bark could only hold on for a few seconds before it cracked followed by my attack carving it's way through the interior of the tree before finally emerging out the other side.
Although I was no swordsman, my slice was incredibly clean, and it didn't even look like the tree had been cut at all, but with a haki-infused punch, causing the tree to tremble violently, it slowly began to tip over, its massive canopy that cast a shadow over nearly all of Elbaf to vanish.
"Hahaha, timber!" Yelled Diddy with a grin as he watched the Treasure Tree Adam slam onto the island, causing it to shake.
