New World Warland "Elbaf".
Luffy and Usopp are the country of the giants who profess "Let's go!!".
Throughout the story, the "Giant Tribe" has appeared at crucial points.

"Elbaph," where many giant tribes reside... Will Luffy and his crew head there in the future?
If the "Straw Hat Pirates" were to go, what could be the reasons?
Let's consider these reasons.
Reason 1: The Mystery of the Missing Road Poneglyphs' Locations
The four red stones known as the "Road Poneglyphs" serve as guideposts to Raftel.
Out of these four, Luffy's crew has already obtained three.
The location of the last one remains unknown.
The Poneglyphs were left behind by those opposing the current World Government to reveal the truth. Until now, the World Government-affiliated nations did not possess these Poneglyphs (with the exception of Alabasta's Nefertari family).
Considering this, could the last Poneglyph be in Elbaph, leading them to venture there?
[Additional Note] In Chapter 1053, it's revealed that the "Ancient Weapon Pluton" is in Wano Country.Now the locations of two "Ancient Weapons" are known.
A common theme emerges: places with Poneglyphs indicating the locations of Ancient Weapons are deeply connected to the "Sun."
In other words, could they be heading to Elbaph regarding the last Ancient Weapon?
Reason 2: The Dream of Hyrudin, a Subordinate
Hyrudin, who has become a subordinate of the "Straw Hat Pirates."
His ambition is to become the "King of All Giant Tribes."
With the confirmation of the existence of Elbaph's "Prince" Loki, it's likely there's also a "King" in present-day Elbaph.
As mentioned earlier, Elbaph isn't the only land where giant tribes reside.
Hyrudin likely aims to stand at the pinnacle of all those giant tribes.
Luffy has declared this to his newfound subordinates:
Luffy: "If you guys are in trouble, call us! We'll definitely come help!"
Considering Luffy's words and Hyrudin's goal, there's a possibility they might head to Elbaph.
Reason 3: Connections with Giant Tribes Encountered So Far
As mentioned earlier, the "Straw Hat Pirates" have interacted with many giant tribes.
If something were to happen to any of these giant tribe connections, they might rush to their aid.
[Additional Note] In Chapter 1066, it's revealed that Robin's benefactor, "Hagwar D. Sauro," is alive!Moreover, he's currently hiding in the giant country "Elbaph."
And he's accompanied by a vast amount of historical records that were once in Ohara...
If Sauro happens to be the key figure "the man with the scar" needed for the battle over One Piece, the likelihood of heading to Elbaph would significantly increase.
Well, if all the information Sauro carries is already in Vegapunk's mind, then perhaps this reason wouldn't hold.
Reason 4: Treasure Tree Adam?
Something enormous stands near the center of Elbaph's island.
Could this be the colossal tree "Treasure Tree Adam" that Franky mentioned before?
Adam is an invincible giant tree that remains standing no matter what.
The place it's located is supposedly an island that repeatedly sees conflict.
Elbaph is situated in an area (?) or island (?) called "Warland"... with the name "War" associated.
And the ship of the "Straw Hat Pirates," the Thousand Sunny, is made from that Treasure Tree Adam.
If the Sunny were to sustain damage and require repair using Adam...
Could this become the catalyst for their visit to Elbaph?
―― These are a few considerations.
If there are more reasons that might apply, they could be added later.
In Chapter 1090, it's mentioned that after dealing with Egghead, they plan to head to Elbaph.
Could Luffy and Usopp's wishes come true soon?
