"You better have formulated a plan, Sebas, or I'm beating you up for requesting all of us present." Remarked Diddy with an annoyed expression as he lay in Freyja's bed while looking at Sebas.
"Tch, who said you could lay in my bed, Diddy!? It's going to be covered in fur!" Exclaimed Freyja angrily as she entered the Captain's quarters and saw Sebas, Mael, Scar, Grand, and Trenza, though she ignored them and focused on Diddy.
"Shut up, Woman. I'm laying in your bed 'cause I feel like it, and for the record, all of my fur is new, so I won't be shedding anytime soon." Replied Diddy blandly as he glanced at Freyja, who walked right toward him and slashed at him with her elongated nails, though he promptly evaded them.
"Don't care; get out of my bed!" Said Freyja angrily as horns, wings, and a tail sprouted from her body while eyeing Diddy, who was standing upside down on the ceiling.
"Hehe, then get out of my room; this is the Captain's quarters. Not the Vice-captain's quarters." Remarked Diddy with a feral smirk as he stepped forward, staring Freyja in the eyes while brandishing his own nails.
"I know she wishes to kill him, but do they always act like this?" Asked Mael calmly, sitting on a chair in the corner of the room while observing Freyja and Diddy about to fight.
"Eh, they're behaving rather tame right now; usually, they'd be chucking out fire and lightning by now." Said Trenza lightly as she looked at Mael before shifting her focus back to her pistol, which she was cleaning.
"Hmm, that must be the fire and lightning you spoke of." Commented Mael with a raised eyebrow as he saw Freyja's horns, nails, and the tip of her tail set ablaze while arcs of lightning danced about on Diddy's body.
"Haa, yes." Said Scar with a slight sigh while leaning against one of Freyja's closets, watching the fight about to erupt between his Captain and Vice-Captain.
"Excuse me, but could the two of you please save it for later; we aren't about to conduct your average raid; we are attacking a Celestial Dragon ship." Said Sebas lightly with a slight frown as he raised his hands to his side, causing Freyja and Diddy to float helplessly in the air.
"Tch, you're one lucky Vice-captain, Freyja." Remarked Diddy with a click of his tongue as he broke free of Sebas's hold and landed on the ground.
"Luck can only take me so far when I've got a stupid Captain leading us, Diddy." Retorted Freyja with a smirk as she also broke free of Sebas's hold and plopped on her bed.
Ignoring that stupid succubus lest I send her crashing through the ship, I approached Trenza, and without warning, I picked her up and tossed her over to Freyja, who promptly caught her before sitting down in her seat.
"You could've just asked!? Exclaimed Trenza in annoyance as she glared at Diddy, who ignored her while sitting in her previous seat.
"Oh my, Trenza, you smell so delicious." Remarked Freyja with a seductive smile as she sniffed Trenza's neck, causing her to freeze from bashfulness.
"T-Thanks?" Muttered Trenza with blushed cheeks in slight confusion while looking at Scar for help, though he also ignored her.
'Son of a bitch, Scar!' Thought Trenza angrily before accepting her fate.
"So, before that stupid Succubus interrupted things, what's the plan, Sebas?" Asked Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he looked at Sebas, who straightened his tie before speaking.
"Thanks to Mael's assistance, I've learned a rough layout of a Celestial Dragons ship, nothing detailed, and it's quite old, so it could very well be out of date, so I recommend not to trust it completely; just use it as a guide." Said Sebas as he floated a drawn blueprint of a Celestial Dragon ship into the middle, allowing everyone to get a good look at it.
"Now, as you can see, the ship has three communications cabins; if I'm not mistaken, the ship is required to relay their status roughly every hour to the Marine HQ, and since this raid will most likely last longer than an hour, we'll need to communicate with Marine HQ, lest we wish to all be killed or captured by an Admiral." Added Sebas as he pointed to three rooms in the ship, which were highlighted yellow.
"I'm assuming these communication cabins use transponder snails?" Asked Freyja seriously as she lay on her bed with Trenza while observing the blueprint.
"Yes." Said Mael and Sebas simultaneously as they nodded at Freyja before glancing at each other.
'Tch, what else would they use, stupid toilet.' Though Diddy with a slight smirk, wishing to openly mock Freyja, though he contained himself as the setting was rather solemn.
"So, what do we do? I doubt we can just go in there and impersonate the World Government agents; it can't be that easy." Remarked Diddy curiously with a raised eyebrow, earning him a nod from Sebas.
"You're correct; the communications have two people assigned to each cabin, for six in total. However, the difficulty is they apparently have a Vivre card for communications officers, which means we can't kill them. For those who don't know what a vivre card is, it's a piece of special white paper made from the body part of said person, such as a fingernail or hair; it's fire and waterproof, but it can be torn and separated between different people, serving as a compass; in the chance that you die, all torn pieces will be destroyed via fire." Stated Sebas, his words slightly surprising everyone except Mael, who had already known that.
"Hmm, they sound very useful; do you know how to make them?" Asked Diddy while smiling as he glanced at Sebas, who shook his head.
"No, I do not. However, they are also somewhat capable of reacting to your bodily state; if you are injured, or your lifeforce is weakening, they will burn away, though so long as you're not dead, the vivre card will regrow." Said Sebas with a slight shake of his head before looking at everyone present, who nodded at his words.
"So, what you're saying is, try not to harm the communication's agents?" Remarked Scar as he looked at Sebas, who nodded.
"Yes, you, Trenza, and Grand will be required to subdue the communications agents, though remember, while you can harm them if need the arises, don't kill them. If anything, kill the transponder snail." Declared Sebas as he intently eyed Scar, Grand, who nodded solemnly, though Trenza was slightly taken aback.
"Eh? Us three are going to do that?" Questioned Trezna as she gulped nervously while looking at Sebas.
"Yes, you three will have an important job; if they manage to request reinforcements, we'll be forced to leave immediately, and even that'll prove difficult." Replied Sebas seriously, causing Trenza to look at Freyja, Mael, and Diddy.
"But, don't you think it would be better for Freyja, you, Captain, or Mael to do this instead?" Asked Trenza as she titled her head in confusion.
"We won't be able to." Said Mael in his deep voice, slightly startling Trenza.
"Why don't you elaborate, you fool." Commented Diddy as he looked at Mael, just as confused at Trenza.
"Depending on where a Celestial Dragon sails, they'll be accompanied by various marines; if it's in the East or South blue, they'll only have one or two Vice-admirals. If it's in the Grand Line, they'll have four Vice-admirals, and for the New World, I don't know, but I'd imagine an Admiral would accompany them. We won't be able to deal with the communications agents as you, Freyja, Sebas, and I will be busy fighting them." Stated Mael seriously, causing Freyja to groan while Diddy displayed a feral smile.
"Hehe, what fun; I call dibs on fighting all four of them!" Said Diddy with a grin, though Freyja, Sebas, and Mael promptly ignored him.
"Just as Mael said, we will most likely end up fighting four Vice-admirals, which in itself will be a challenging task, and we'll have no time to deal with anything else; that's why we'll need you three, Scar, Grand and Freyja to deal with the communications agents." Added Sebas as he ignored Diddy and looked at Trenza, who sighed but nodded nonetheless.
"How long do we have until the so-called Celestial Dragon arrives?" Asked Freyja with a yawn as she wrapped her arms around Trenza and snuggled up against her.
"Tomorrow; that's when we should expect to see them." Said Mael as he clenched his fist, causing plasma to spew from his hand, though he was promptly smacked in the head.
"Tch, burn my ship, and I'm killing you and that Celestial Dragon." Declared Diddy with a frown as he glared at Mael, who glanced at him before calming down.
"Anyways, since we've got a day to prepare, everyone get ready since we'll be the talk of the world in a few days. Hehe." Ordered Diddy as he stood up and stretched before leaving the room, followed by Scar, Grand, and Mael, leaving Trenza stuck in Freyja's arms and Sebas.
"Haa, I wasn't finished explaining the plan." Muttered Sebas with a sigh as he grabbed the ship's blueprint out of the air.
"We're going to die, aren't we?" Asked Freyja calmly as she opened one eye and looked at Sebas, who nodded without a single bit of hesitation.
"I'm afraid so." Replied Sebas as he sat down in the chair behind him.
'Help!' Thought Trenza with blushed cheeks.
