บท 260: Confidence
The pub once filled with joyous laughter, had now fallen into complete silence.
Dozens of people lay unconscious on the floor, foam around their mouths, their eyes showing nothing but white.
Only Eiji could be seen calmly sipping from a glass of fruit juice he had taken from his Storage Ring.
"Shanks won't be angry about this, will he? Considering how protective he is of his allies, I'm worried he'll fight me as soon as he finds out I hurt his people."
His purpose in meeting Shanks was to discuss Haoshoku Haki and learn Kamusari (Divine Departure). According to Lin Fan's memory, Shanks was the strongest user of Haoshoku Haki in the world.
Leveraging his identity as Rayleigh's disciple, Eiji was confident that Shanks wouldn't refuse. Among the Yonko, Shanks was the most approachable and easy to communicate with.
*TAP TAP TAP*
The sound of footsteps approached as Fugar hurriedly opened the door and returned.
Seeing that no one had been harmed during his absence, he let out a sigh of relief.
Walking toward Eiji, who sat by the counter, Fugar dared not be disrespectful.
"Lord Kamiki, Captain Shanks has agreed to meet you. But..."
"What is it? Just say it."
"Right now, the Akagami Pirates are quite far from Elbaf. It's estimated that it'll take three days to reach them."
"Is that all? I thought it was something serious. No problem, I don't mind waiting."
Eiji didn't understand why Fugar was so afraid to deliver this news. He wasn't unreasonable, the type to kill others simply because he was in a bad mood.
"In that case, I'll prepare a place for Lord Kamiki to stay."
"Sure, show me the way."
Fugar then led Eiji to an empty two-story house.
"Please feel free to use this house."
"Thank you, you may leave."
Hearing that, Fugar quickly left and returned to the pub to wake up his unconscious friends.
Meanwhile, Eiji examined the house lent to him.
The house consisted of two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room, and it was fully furnished.
"It seems to be cleaned regularly. It's unlikely that pirates, who only know how to plunder and destroy, would keep it clean. It must've been done by the civilians living in this town."
Wiping the table, Eiji noticed there was no dust and nodded in approval.
He realized that there were more ordinary people than pirates in this small town. There was nothing unusual about that. After all, the majority of the world's population consisted of regular folks.
Without ordinary people, the economy of any place wouldn't function properly.
How could pirates run a pub, clothing store, restaurant, and other shops? That's where ordinary people were absolutely essential!
"Shanks and Big Mom understood this aspect, which is why both improved the prosperity of ordinary people in their territories. On the other hand, Kaido and Kurohige didn't care about regular folk, which is why their territories became so ruined due to poor management."
His visit to Wano Country was still fresh in his memory. Eiji had witnessed Wano's natural environment being polluted by reckless waste disposal, and the tragic lives of its native inhabitants.
For someone captivated by the beauty of Totto Land, Wano Country seemed like a dumping ground to him.
"Among the Yonko, Kurohige's territory is the only one I haven't visited yet. If I'm not mistaken, Kurohige's domain is called Beehive Island."
Lying on the sofa, Eiji began thinking about many things as he had free time and didn't know what else to do.
"Don't expect too much. After all, Beehive Island is a haven for pirates. Its environment probably isn't any better than Wano Country. Speaking of Kurohige, I haven't received any updates from Vegapunk."
"It seems even the smartest person in the world can't easily uncover the secret behind Kurohige's ability to eat two Devil Fruits. Moreover, Shakky still hasn't found any clues regarding the Toki Toki no Mi."
"Well, no need to dwell on it. Whether I get the Toki Toki no Mi or not, it doesn't matter. With the amount of emotion I've absorbed over this time, it's not a problem to maintain a 200% buff for seven days straight. My chances of defeating Sukuna are pretty high, right?"
Closing his eyes, Eiji simulated a fight in his mind, using Lin Fan's memories as a database to reflect the battle between Sukuna and Gojo Satoru.
According to Eiji's calculations, Sukuna wouldn't stand a chance against his cousin unless he possessed Fushiguro Megumi's body.
Without Mahoraga's ability to adapt to spiritual phenomena, Sukuna could only rely on Domain Amplification to break through the Infinity from Limitless Technique. However, that still wouldn't be enough to defeat Satoru.
It was important to remember that the World Cutting Slash, which Sukuna learned through Mahoraga's adaptation, was critical. Without Mahoraga, there was no way he would've mastered that technique.
"The biggest reason Satoru Nii-san lost was due to a lack of information! If he had known about the World Cutting Slash, he would have assumed Sukuna was only using Dismantle, so he wouldn't have avoided the attack because of Infinity."
"Had Satoru Nii-san not been careless and dodged once he saw the effects of the World Cutting Slash, he would've been more cautious, and the outcome of the battle would still be uncertain."
Unlike before, Eiji no longer considered Sukuna an unbeatable opponent. He had gained power beyond the Jujutsu World and didn't even know how strong he was when using his full potential.
He was very confident in defeating Sukuna!
"Let's take a walk. I want to see some real giants."
Bored of doing nothing, Eiji decided to explore Elbaf.
Leaving the house, he floated in the air, his Six Eyes functioning like telescopes, scanning the distance.
"I've found the village where the giants live."
Ignoring the commotion caused by his floating, Eiji leisurely flew toward the village, located two kilometers from the coastline.
Since his goal was to pass the time, he flew at a slow pace, enjoying the natural scenery of Elbaf.
The deeper he ventured into Elbaf, the larger the trees became, several times bigger than ordinary ones.
Eiji didn't find this strange. After spending time in the One Piece World, he had seen many unique and bizarre things that couldn't be found in most other worlds.
Devil Fruits, Sea Kings, Rokushiki, Haki, and so on.
Fifteen minutes later, Eiji, in Stealth mode, stood in a village.
"Giants naturally possess great physical strength. No wonder the World Government had to resort to conspiracies, using Mother Carmer to trick the Giants into joining the Marines."
Eiji watched the giants sparring in an arena built in the village. The power they displayed was astonishing, with their clashes causing loud sounds and shockwaves.
If it came down to pure physical strength, he was certain that even Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers wouldn't stand a chance against the giants.
Only those born with Heavenly Restrictions, granting them enhanced physical prowess like Eiji, Maki, and Toji, could defeat giants, who were renowned for their physical strength.
"If regular villagers are already this strong, then just how powerful are the true giant warriors? This is also why Big Mom went to such lengths to reconcile with the giants."
Eiji recalled his conversation with Big Mom at the Tea Party.
