While resting in my Hammock, I felt the sunlight hitting my body, and following that, my nose twitched as I inhaled an otherworldly scent, a scent that I was all too familiar with, causing my body to slightly heat up as my most primal urges began to surface.
"Tch, reel in your pheromones, Freyja, or I'll do it for you." Stated Diddy with an annoyed growl as he opened his and tilted his head to the right, eyeing Freyja calmly sitting at the helm while being tended to by both Sanji and Usopp, his words causing them to stop and glare at him.
"How dare you speak to Queen Freyja like that, you fucking monkey!?" Exclaimed Usopp angrily as he aimed his slingshot at Diddy, firing several orangish beads, which he all caught within his hands, and a few seconds later, a muffled explosion was.
"Behave yourself, Usopp. I don't condone such vulgar language; only refer to him as a monkey." Said Freyja as she rested her hands on Usopp's shoulder, causing his anger to vanish while the expression of a man in love took its place as he put away his weapon and kneeled.
"Yes, my apologies, Queen Freyja. I'll make sure to abide by the same rules as well, Queen Freya-san." Declared Usopp and Sanji, respectively, as they got onto one knee, causing Freyja to chuckle as she reached down and kissed their cheeks softly.
"My oh my, such wonderful knights I have; I believe you two are deserving of a very special reward. Allow your Queen to send the two of you to heaven." Stated Freyja with a grin, trailing her hand across both of their bodies as she licked her lips, looking at them like they were food and she was starving.
Looking at Freyja as she played around with her two mindless puppets, I grunted in annoyance before lunging forward and grabbing them by their necks, causing Freyja to click her tongue in annoyance.
"Tch, you've always got to ruin things, don't you, Diddy? I was enjoying myself." Said Freyja with a frown as she annoyedly looked at Diddy, who was walking to the edge of the ship while Sanji and Usopp tried to espace from his clutches, though, to no avail.
"I don't care if you're enjoying yourself, Freyja; it's the morning, so we're about to set sail, and I've got no desire to take an inferior version of Trenza and this weakling with us." Replied Diddy with a frown as he tossed both Usopp and Sanji over toward their ship, which had two wings perfectly nailed to the side.
"Um, thanks?" Said Trenza in slight confusion as she looked at Diddy, unsure whether his words were a compliment.
Once those two fools were back on their own ship, they looked like they were about to lunge at me, but before they could, the fog clouding their eyes disappeared as they were finally freed from Freyja's bewitching charm. However, despite being freed from essentially being Freyja's slave, Sanji looked rather disappointed, almost like he was enjoying it.
'He's truly a simp.' Mused Diddy as he watched Nami exit the ship and start yelling at them, causing Sanji and Usopp to sigh.
Ignoring them, I looked up at the morning sky and spotted the morning sun, figuring it was probably best if we left this island sooner rather than later; I wouldn't be surprised if there were some marine or world government spies in Mock town, and even if there wasn't, I wasn't exactly an unknown pirate, so it wouldn't take long for word of my arrival at Mock town to be known.
Since everyone was already present, I wasted no time and walked toward the ship's bow, only to grasp the stem as I slammed my hand against the air, flinging us numerous meters backward while also causing the back of the ship to be lifted out from the water. Following that, I hit the air to my right, spinning the ship one-hundred-eighty degrees until we were now fully turned, and only then did I allow the ship to return to floating atop the water normally.
"Ouch." Muttered Trenza as she lay wrapped around the mast, which saved her from being flung off the ship and into the water.
"Fucking Diddy; how many fucking times do I have to tell you!? Give us a fucking warning before you do that!" Exclaimed Freyja angrily as she tightly gripped the steering wheel while glaring dagger at Diddy, who merely scoffed and ignored her, not in the mood to argue with her.
"Not so aggressive, Freyja, but yes, a warning would be much appreciated, Captain; these old bones can only withstand so much force." Remarked Sebas with a forced smile as he fixed his appearance while walking up the stairs from the lower, Mael following directly behind him, though he looked quite upset.
"Yeah, yeah, I don't care, let's just go to the Knock-up stream; that Mirage woman said it wasn't too far away from Mock town." Stated Diddy as he dismissively waved his hand, causing Sebas to sigh while Mael grunted in annoyance, opting to stay quiet.
"Scar, Grand, Trenza, lower the sails, Freyja, sail us to where the Knock-up stream occurs, and if you break that steering wheel, I'll rip your arms off." Added Diddy as he glanced at the three stooges, who all stood up and saluted before leaping to the upper deck and landing beside Freyja, who was still angry from earlier.
"Tch, I would, except I don't know where the fuck it is at!?" Yelled Freyja as she eyed Diddy to her right, who simply frowned before snapping his head to the east.
"Shut the fuck up, Freyja, and sail; we've been found, and I can sense a great deal of danger, far more than I've ever sensed before coming from the east." Declared Diddy solemnly as all the fur on his body stood up, warning him of the imminent danger.
Never before have my instincts warned me of such danger before; in fact, I wouldn't even call it danger at this point; this was certain death. Whatever was heading for was held far more than enough power to kill us, and we didn't have much time to spare; if we weren't gone in within an hour, we'd be done for.
'Hehe, now this is a thrill!' Thought Diddy with a ferocious smile as he stared east while his heart rapidly beat in tandem with his instincts, his entire body warning him of his impending death that was soon to come.
Turning around, I saw Freyja angrily looking at me, but despite how much she despised me, she knew when I was serious, so she merely grumbled under her breath as she started sailing the ship.
"Tch, where to, Captain?" Asked Freyja sarcastically with a frown as she glanced at Diddy, who suddenly furrowed his brows and started sniffing the air.
"Sebas said the Knock-up Stream was pretty much a pressurized blast of ocean water that shot thousands of meters into the sky, and it's apparently a common event as it happens several times a month; if that's the case, I simply need to follow the scent that contains a higher concentration of salt in the air." Replied Diddy seriously as he closed his eyes, which further heightened his already potent sense of smell, while Freyja just gave him a skeptical look.
"As much as I hate you, and while I doubt you a lot, one thing I trust about you is your senses; however, how will you find a higher salt concentration when we're out at the ocean? At that point, it isn't really a matter of how potent your sense of smell is." Said Freyja skeptically as she turned the steering wheel while glancing at Diddy, who was standing on the ship's railing, sniffing the air.
"It's simple, really; the salty smell of the ocean is potent around sea level, but the higher you go, the less dense it becomes; however, if I fly around at a height of, I don't know, two hundred meters in the air, and the salty scent is still ever present, I think that should be a good indicator to the location of the Knock-up Stream." Stated Diddy with a slight smirk as he opened his eyes and turned around, eyeing Freyja.
"Well then, what are you waiting for? I've only got one life, and I don't wish to die until I've killed you." Said Freyja with a slight frown as she reached forward and grabbed Diddy's leg using her now monstrous-looking arm before powerfully throwing him into the sky.
'Heh, either I'm hearing things, or did Freyja just say that?' Thought Diddy while soaring through the sky as he looked back down at Freyja, who was sailing the ship out of Jaya's gulf with the Strawhats following closely after them.
Deciding to think about it later, I shook my head and kicked the air behind me, propelling my body through the sky as I speedily darted above the vast sea, searching through the sky while looking for a higher concentration of salt; however, it wasn't nearly as easy as I was hoping for. Several minutes passed with me finding no leads, but it wasn't a complete waste of time, as I did cross off in certain directions, and thankfully, one of them was the east.
Heading North while my eyes were closed, I continued to sniff the air, hoping to get a whiff of a higher density of salt, and finally, after roughly fifteen minutes, I found something.
"Finally!" Yelled Diddy with a feral grin as he powerfully slammed his feet against the air, moving even faster northward.
