At the very top of the Golden King Hotel, Gild Tesoro found Commander Sivara of the Abyss, who had taken on her Highborne form, at the observation platform in front of the imperial gardens.
"Any discoveries?"
"My lady?"
He smiled as he asked, then walked up behind Sivara, who was using a telescope to survey the island ahead.
"Mm!"
"Something's strange..."
Sivara didn't turn around. She merely nodded and continued scanning the nearby waters through her telescope.
"Strange?"
"What is it?"
Tesoro stepped forward and watched for a while, but saw nothing. He asked again.
"I keep thinking..."
"Since we declared war on the Big Mom Pirates, we've seized seven islands here in Totto Land, captured six ministers, and taken no fewer than twenty ships. So why haven't they made any major moves yet?"
"It makes sense that Kaido hasn't shown up for now. After all, this is someone else's territory. But why has the main force of the Big Mom Pirates still not reacted after all these days?"
"It doesn't add up!"
Seeing nothing, Sivara slowly lowered her telescope and frowned.
Though they had an overwhelming advantage, she never underestimated an enemy when it came to war. That was why she had led Azshara's vanguard for tens of thousands of years and won countless battles. She had always maintained a meticulous mind, planned carefully, and prepared for every contingency. Neither the enemy's weakness nor their strength could change that.
"Huh?"
"Lady Sivara, you really don't need to worry."
"Whatever scheme they're plotting, we can just keep taking their islands one by one. They can't hide inside Whole Cake Island forever, can they?"
"Whatever kind of scheme it is, they'll have to come out and face us eventually. Don't overthink it."
After hearing her concerns, Tesoro thought it over, then
