Dak didn't know exactly when the Gyms 'culture' would officially start.
Judging by Tom's construction speed, it would certainly be after the Pokémon Academy opened.
But Dak wasn't in a hurry.
Because he hadn't found all the Gym Leaders yet, and those selected still needed to strengthen their abilities.
After choosing Fukaboshi to be the Water 7 Gym Leader, Dak took him to Alliance City, where members of the Breeding House would take turns training Fukaboshi and his Pokémon.
With seven Gym Leaders left to find, Dak already had a good idea of who he wanted; he just needed to go invite them.
He had to do this because their distinctive personalities made them ideal for Gym Leader roles.
After finishing with Fukaboshi, Dak immediately rushed to the next location.
...
Alabasta.
Dak's target was the former Warlord, Crocodile.
This unfortunate character had his ambitions in Alabasta disrupted by Dak.
Why?
Crocodile was supposed to maintain his "hero" status in Alabasta for a long time.
His hero status was well-deserved. Over the past two years, he helped Alabasta fend off numerous pirates, earning the people's respect.
But Crocodile's true aim was to build casinos and gain the support and trust of the people, then use "Dance Powder" to create internal strife and take over Alabasta and Pluton.
Unfortunately, his plan was foiled by the appearance of Pokémon.
It was well known that Pokémon had weather-changing moves like "Sunny Day" and "Rain Dance."
Crocodile's plan was crushed by the Pokémon Alliance.
However, Crocodile did gain a good reputation and substantial casino assets.
Just yesterday, King Cobra of Alabasta invited Crocodile for tea at the palace, only to be rejected with a sour face.
At this moment, Crocodile was sitting in the basement of his casino, quietly sipping tea.
He had nothing else to do.
"You're living quite comfortably, but isn't it too boring?"
"... What brings the Pokémon Alliance Leader to me?"
Crocodile was startled by the voice, turning to see Dak. Cold sweat formed on his forehead, but he maintained a calm demeanor.
Crocodile couldn't help but feel anxious.
The man before him had crushed the World Government and the Beasts Pirates. Crocodile knew he couldn't match those powers.
Dak had once said something that kept all pirates up at night.
And Crocodile was once a pirate.
Although he was a solo pirate with a bounty, like Mihawk, it still mattered.
"The 'Shichibukai' system is gone. Don't you want to find another path?"
"I won't submit to anyone."
Crocodile's eyes narrowed, his face darkening.
He had fought Newgate and Barrett and faced Akainu in the Summit War. He wouldn't become someone's subordinate.
He aimed to become the Pirate King!
"Is that so."
Fifteen minutes later.
Walking alone in the endless desert, Dak sighed.
His psychic powers were almost invincible, rendering the enemy powerless. He couldn't kill directly with psychic power due to the abnormal nature of Logia fruits.
Crocodile wasn't killed.
Dak planned to take him to Pokémon Island and have Vegapunk create a "Seraphim" based on Crocodile's genes.
Dak had initially thought Crocodile would be a good Gym Leader candidate due to his strong 'Rock' and 'Ground' characteristics.
But after the rejection, Dak reconsidered.
Bad guys like Crocodile and Moriah had distinctive traits but weren't suitable as Gym Leaders.
They had done too many evil deeds, contradicting Dak's principles.
Capturing them for Vegapunk's genetic research and Seraphim creation was the best use of their value.
"No choice. The Alabasta Gym will be led by Sentomaru."
Dak shook his head, unable to find a better candidate in Alabasta.
Cobra was a king, and Vivi was still a child.
So, he had to find someone from Pokémon Island. Sentomaru was a good choice.
Sentomaru had been employed by Vegapunk since childhood, and their relationship was almost like father and son, with Sentomaru being like an adopted son.
Vegapunk had taken Sentomaru out of a life of hunger and cold, so he remained loyal and joined the Pokémon Alliance.
Previously a squad leader in the inspection unit, Sentomaru would now be a Gym Leader.
The Ground-type Gym Leader.
That would be Sentomaru's role in the Alabasta Gym.
Sentomaru's Pokémon partners were Hippopotas and Sandile.
Both Pokémon lived in sandy environments, perfect for Alabasta.
Next stop...
...
Sabaody Archipelago.
Tom was building the Gym here.
Originally, Dak had considered asking Rayleigh or Shakky to be the Gym Leader, but after dealing with Crocodile, he abandoned the idea.
"Let Kizaru do it!"
Dak nodded.
This suggestion came from Sentomaru, who seemed to want to drag Kizaru into this. Dak thought it was a good idea.
Since Tesoro was busy collecting taxes from various countries and preparing to buy the Marines, Dak saw the Marines as subordinates of the Pokémon Alliance.
Kizaru hadn't shown a clear affinity with any particular type of Pokémon, nor had he bought a Pokémon egg.
So Dak hadn't decided on the Sabaody Gym's type yet.
...
"What a beautiful afternoon."
Kizaru was currently fishing on some island in the New World.
He had no idea he was being roped into extra work.
Next stop...
...
Marineford.
"What? You want to build a Gym in Marineford?"
Sengoku looked at Dak across the desk.
"Yes, any problems?"
"... Doesn't seem like it."
Sengoku instinctively wanted to object but couldn't find a reason.
He was used to opposing the World Government and found it hard to adjust.
"I see the Marines are well-staffed. How about Garp as the Fighting-type Gym Leader?"
"Garp? With his lazy nature..."
Sengoku wasn't optimistic about Dak's idea.
He knew Garp well. Entrusting him with a Gym was like giving up on it.
"I'll give him some Pokémon eggs. These Pokémon will be like his grandchildren. Can he resist having more grandchildren?"
"He can't. I'll contact him immediately."
Sengoku shook his head decisively.
Garp had recently developed a strange hobby, collecting grandchildren like Newgate.
He had even burst into Sengoku's office the other day, loudly demanding Sengoku be his grandson, nearly getting himself beaten.
Sengoku quickly settled the matter with Garp. Hearing Dak would provide more "grandchildren," Garp eagerly accepted the job.
Marineford Gym, Fighting-type Leader Garp, confirmed!
Now four Gym Leaders were found, four more to go.
Dak had three more candidates in mind.
One was Magellan, the perfect candidate for the Poison-type Gym Leader.
As a Marine, Magellan couldn't refuse the job.
As for Impel Down?
Dak planned to close it, execute all prisoners, and house new ones in Pokémon Island's prison.
He guaranteed no one could escape from Pokémon Island's prison. Once in, they'd never get out.
...
Dak planned to convince Dragon to become a Gym Leader.
With the World Government gone and countries improving, the Revolutionary Army would have less to do. Dragon might get bored.
Dak would give Dragon some work for his own good.
Dragon would be the Dragon-type Gym Leader.
Perfect.
Another one, the Fairy-type Gym Leader.
Also from the Revolutionary Army, Emporio Ivankov.
Quite fitting, right?
There was still one more Gym Leader to find.
Dak had initially considered Moriah for the Ghost-type, Boa Hancock for the Fairy-type, and Crocodile for the Ground/Rock-type.
But now he had abandoned those choices.
Gym Leaders didn't have to be saints, but they couldn't have a dark past. They had to set a positive example.
"Who should be the last candidate?"
Dak lay on the ground, looking up at the sky, murmuring.
"...Sky?"

"Leader, we found it."
One day, while sitting in his office at the Alliance base, Dak received a message from his subordinates.
"Coordinates."
Dak stretched and stood up.
"10,000 meters above the ruins of Ohara in the West Blue."
"Haha."
Dak grinned. He didn't expect there to be a sky island there.
A week ago, while searching for Gym locations, he had a sudden inspiration.
It was well-known that each Gym needed to have its own unique characteristics.
Water 7 had water, Alabasta had the desert, so how could a sky island, with its distinctive sky feature, be missing? Then Dak thought of Enel.
More precisely, Enel's Goro Goro no Mi.
Since he wasn't sure if Enel had already eaten the Goro Goro no Mi, he sent people to find the sky island of Birka to see if it had been destroyed.
If Birka was destroyed, it meant Enel had already eaten the Goro Goro no Mi and was somewhere out there.
If Birka was still intact, it meant the Pokémon Alliance could obtain the Goro Goro no Mi.
With the manpower of the Pokémon Alliance, finding a Devil Fruit would be faster than even Doflamingo.
Currently, the Alliance had 50,000 reserve members and 5,000 official employees. Wherever there were people and Pokémon, Alliance employees were present.
Moreover, all these people were now trainers, each and every one.
Notably, many of these employees were former slaves of the Celestial Dragons or nobles of various countries, who had been freed thanks to the Pokémon Alliance.
Many of these freed slaves had nowhere to go and no family, so they chose to repay the Pokémon Alliance.
For these types of employees, as long as they had no dark past, Dak accepted them all.
These employees often had some strength; the strongest had once hunted pirates with bounties over 100 million Beli.
And now it seemed that the Goro Goro no Mi had not yet been eaten by Enel.
So Dak decided to secure this most powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit for the Pokémon Alliance to cultivate a formidable fighter.
Soon, Dak appeared high above Ohara.
From his vantage point, he could see a mini island supported by white clouds.
Sky islands were usually small, possibly due to the clouds.
Enel's future domain, Apaya, wasn't originally a sky island; it was part of Jaya Island that got pushed into the sky by a giant knock-up stream.
"This island... It's probably not even half the size of Alliance City."
Dak measured with his hand.
Not even Dak himself, let alone Darkrai, needed to intervene to destroy this sky island.
Flying higher, he saw that the island had a peaceful little town and some coconut tree-like plants.
"I guess it's up to me."
Dak thought.
When it came to finding Devil Fruits, his speed was unmatched.
Combining his Observation Haki and psychic powers, his perception range could cover the entire mini sky island below, and his sensory scope was much wider than just using Haki or psychic power alone.
Buzz~ In the next moment, Dak activated his ability.
It was as if a strong wind blew through him, making his clothes and hair flutter uncontrollably.
His eyes were filled with dark red psychic energy, and invisible waves spread out around him.
"Hmm..."
The sensing process wasn't smooth, causing Dak to frown.
He could sense everything on the island, even the conversations and breaths of the residents.
Now he understood.
Why did mentioning Enel's name on Angel Island bring divine punishment? It must be due to the combination of the Goro Goro no Mi and Observation Haki, giving Enel a vast sensory range.
However, Dak soon sensed a chaotic energy source.
This chaotic source could either be a Devil Fruit user or a Devil Fruit.
Without hesitation, Dak flew towards the source of the disturbance.
Soon, he reached a forest and found the Devil Fruit disguised as a coconut on a tree.
A blue-green Devil Fruit resembling a dragon fruit.
It seemed to match the color of the lightning produced by the Goro Goro no Mi, but confirmation was needed from Robin.
Dak again used his Observation Haki and psychic power to ensure no other chaotic sources were on the island before leaving.
It was almost certain this Devil Fruit was the Goro Goro no Mi.
Enel, an ordinary person, couldn't destroy Birka or even leave it. Sky islands in the Four Seas could only wait to drift to the Grand Line to see any human activity.
And this island had only one Devil Fruit. If it wasn't the Goro Goro no Mi, then what else could it be?
But to be sure, Dak decided to ask Robin.
However, upon reaching the Alliance base, he couldn't find Robin.
"Where's the secretary?"
In the Alliance, Robin's role was that of the secretary, so Dak usually asked about her location this way.
"Robin is in Alliance City, discussing matters with Mayor Neptune."
"Alright."
Dak shook his head and headed to the Pokémon Academy.
If he couldn't find Robin, he would find her mother, Olvia.
When it came to knowledge, Robin couldn't match Olvia. But Dak felt a certain distance from Olvia, not as close as with Robin, so he usually sought out Robin.
Olvia, as a renowned scholar of Ohara, had spent over a decade on the sea, reading countless books and experiencing many things, even understanding some of the history from 800 years ago, something Robin couldn't match.
Since joining the Breeding House, Robin had become somewhat reclusive, rarely leaving her home, waiting for her partners to bring back books, then reading them in her spare time.
Especially with Olvia's revival and doting affection, Robin had become a lazy beauty.
Entering the Pokémon Academy, a different atmosphere greeted Dak.
The atmosphere of youth.
Though the Academy hadn't opened yet, Dak could already foresee the lively scenes of students in the future.
The Pokémon Academy was destined to be the highest institution on Pokémon Island, the most desired place in the hearts of countless students.
But that was for the future; currently, the Academy didn't even have grade levels.
"Infinite Stratos"
A once-famous work combining harem and mecha, two elements beloved by men, naturally became very popular.
Dak had once yearned for this academy, but now, walking through it, he felt differently.
Maybe because it wasn't an all-girls school?
Walking through the picturesque campus, Dak made his way to the principal's office.
Officially, Robin was the principal of the Pokémon Academy, but in reality, it was Olvia, the head of the education department.
Given Robin's lazy lifestyle, making her the principal would be a bit much.
"Leader Dak."
Olvia was alone in the office, writing something.
Seeing Dak, she immediately stood up.
"How do you like the campus?"
"It's great. The people of the Pirate World have never seen such a campus; the students will love it."
"Is that so."
With all the homework and exams, they'd still love it? Dak wiped his sweat.
"Did you come here for something?"
"Yes, I wanted to ask if you've seen this Devil Fruit in the encyclopedia, Olvia."
Dak nodded and took out the blue-green Devil Fruit.
"The Goro Goro no Mi! Known as the 'invincible' Logia-type Devil Fruit in the encyclopedia, it has top-tier abilities in both damage and speed. I didn't expect you to obtain it, Leader Dak."
Olvia was surprised to see the Devil Fruit.
As one of the most famous Devil Fruits, anyone who had read the encyclopedia would recognize it.
This fruit was priceless on the sea. No one would bid for it; they'd fight for it.
"It is the Goro Goro no Mi, great."
"Who do you plan to give it to?"
"I'm thinking..."
Dak considered.
Logia fruits had a major drawback: the inability to combine Armament Haki while in elemental form, making them vulnerable against other Logia users.
Most of the core members of the Breeding House already had their abilities.
Olvia, Stella, Iceburg, and Tom from non-combat departments didn't need Devil Fruit abilities. The former three were almost permanently stationed on Pokémon Island, only Tom needed to venture out for construction tasks.
"Let's give it to Sugar."
After careful consideration, Dak decided.
As the head of the security department, Sugar needed personal strength to command respect from her subordinates.
