Seeing how the King wasn't about to spill the location of his treasury, I shrugged my shoulders; I wasn't really worried about that right now, anyway. After my haki-less fight against Tamago and those three sea kings, I had sustained many injuries, so I intended to rest before doing anything, and what better place to take a nap than on that massive throne?
Smirking at the King, I approached them before leaping onto the large throne, which was far too big for me, but after a little bit of positioning, I found a comfortable spot; summoning Nimbus out of Naga-sa, I grabbed my fluffy yellow cloud and placed it underneath my head, giving me a soft pillow. Closing my eyes, I was about to drift to sleep, but before I could, Tamago's partner, Pekoms, started roaring, which greatly irritated me as I could tell through my haki that he was doing it on purpose, just so I wouldn't get a nice nap.
"Shut up! I'm only keeping you alive to tell Big Mom what happened here! Don't think I won't kill you!" Declared Diddy angrily with a growl, his eyes snapping open as he glared at the severely injured Pekoms, who was staring daggers at him.
Eyeing Pekoms for a few more seconds, I scoffed and closed my eyes, attempting to take another nap, yet, not even ten seconds later, Pekeoms started roaring once more, and this time, it was much more obnoxiously loud. Gnashing my teeth, I opened my eyes and stabbed my nails into the back of the throne I was lying on; ripping the back part off, I threw it directly at Pekoms, who wasn't able to dodge since he was chained down, slamming him deep into the ground.
Eyeing the crater I had made, I snapped my head towards the royal family, waiting for them to make a single noise, though, unlike Pekoms, they were rather smart, and other than glaring at me in hatred, minus Shirahoshi, they didn't so much as make a peep. Grunting in anger, I plopped back onto the throne and rested my head against Nimbus as I closed my eyes and slowly drifted to sleep, yet right when I was about to actually sleep, I heard faint roars, and although it didn't affect my ability to sleep, I was already pissed, so this just served to be the nail in the coffin.
Subconsciously unleashing my conquerors in anger, causing everyone to expect the king to be knocked unconscious, I landed on the ground beside the piece of the throne I had thrown at Pekoms before lifting it and tossing it out of the room, only to see him softly roaring while looking at me in anger.
"Hehehe, you're really deadset on angering me, aren't you?" Asked Diddy lightly with a chaotic chuckle as he narrowed his eyes at Pekooms, who couldn't respond since he was suddenly lifted into the air.
Holding Pekoms in the air by his neck using my tail, I constricted his throat and searched through his suit until I found what I was looking for: a transponder snail with pink bushy hair, large eyelashes, and pink lipstick.
"Heh, perfect. With this, I'll have no reason to keep you alive." Said Diddy with a feral grin as he eyed Pekoms while tightening his tail around his neck, taking away his ability to breathe.
Grabbing the microphone off the top, I called Big Mom, and thankfully, it didn't take too long for her to answer as I saw the transponder snail seemingly come to life.
"Mama Mama, Pekoms, Tamago, have the Fishman agreed to the deal?" Said Big Mom, also known as Charlotte Linlin, enthusiastically as she softly chuckled.
"Unfortunately, something happened, and the agreement is going to be postponed." Said Diddy lightly as he spoke into the microphone, his sudden voice causing Linlin to frown as the transponder snail did the same.
"Who are you? Where is Tamago and Pekoms." Asked Linlin with a frown as she narrowed her eyes at her transponder snail.
"Hehehe, Pekoms is right here with me; as for Tamago… Pekoms is about to visit him real soon. Don't worry; you'll also get to see them; it'll just take a little bit longer, though I'm sure you'll have enough patience for that, Big Mom." Stated Diddy with a chaotic chuckle as he continued to strangle Pekoms with his tail, causing him to writhe about.
"Who are you, and what have you done to Tamago and Pekoms?" Asked Linlin angrily as she glared at her transponder snail, only for boisterous yet chaotic laughter to be heard.
"Hahahahaha! Diddy D. Kong! I've already killed Tamago; in fact, I can still see his corpse; as for Pekoms, well, I was going to let him live, but when trying to take a nap, he pissed me off, and I'm strangling him right now. If you want, I'll send you their corpse." Declared Diddy with a ferocious grin as he stared at the transponder snail, waiting for Linlin to respond, though she never did.
Getting no response even after a minute of waiting, I frowned before shifting my focus to Pekoms, who was close to dying from lack of air.
"Did something happen? Why isn't she responding? Is this stupid snail broken? Tsk, see, this is what happens when you use snails and not cellphones." Remarked Diddy in slight annoyance as he eyed Pekoms before tapping the snail's shell, only for Linlin to finally respond.
"Mama Mama. Chaos King. You've killed a Celestial Dragon in the past, so I've got no doubt you're bold enough to kill one of my children." Said Linlin softly as she stared intensely at the transponder snail while her face contorted into one of an unimaginable amount of wrath, causing her hair to stand on end and the entire area to shake.
"Enter the New World Chaos Kong. No… You won't even need to. My children will hunt you down until the end of the world to avenge one of their own. When that happens, and you're brought before me, I'll torture you for killing one of my sons. UNDERSTAND, CHAOS KONG!" Stated Linlin furiously, her every word containing the sheer fury of an enraged Emperor of the Sea while her powerful voice echoed all throughout Whole Cake Island, informing every single officer of the crew.
"Hehehe, perfect, I couldn't ask for anything better; when I finish killing all of your children and stand before you, I'll kill you too, so make sure to keep your neck clean. I like my trophies in pristine condition." Declared Diddy with a wicked smile as he stared at the transponder snail before a crunching noise came from behind.
Dropping Pekoms lifeless body onto the ground, I set the transponder snail down, keeping it on, and walked back to the throne as I finally drifted back to sleep, anticipating the battles I'd have with the Big Mom Pirates.
'Hehehe, I can't wait.' Thought Diddy with a feral grin, not even realizing the many battles that would come his way, though that may only cause him to start wars with the two other Emperors.

"C'mon, hurry it up; we don't have all day." Stated Diddy lightly as he knocked Naga-sa against the ground while sitting atop Nimbus, watching as Grand, Scar, Trenza, Janet, Chala, Mael, Freyja, and Sebas carried many valuables from the treasury of the Ryugu Palace.
"Tch, maybe if someone helped, this would go, I don't know, FASTER!!" Said Freyja angrily as she stopped and glared at Diddy, who scoffed before nearly hitting her with his bo-staff.
"Shut it, Freyja; you spent all of yesterday fucking Fishman, so stop whining and get to work. Besides, I'm still injured." Said Diddy blandly as he narrowed his eyes at Freyja, who grunted angrily before reluctantly following his orders, though only after throwing a ball of Amaterasu's flames at him, which he evaded.
"Injured? You look perfectly fine to me, Captain. Not like Scar or Grand over here." Said Janet skeptically as she eyed Diddy, who raised an eyebrow before suddenly stabbing himself with his finger, causing her face to twitch as she grumbled under her breath.
"Yeah, can't you at least give Scar and Grand a break, Captain? They look terrible." Asked Trenza in concern as she pointed to Scar and Grand, who were both wrapped in bandages and constantly wincing, yet they didn't once complain, though that might've been because they knew it was pointless.
Grand's fight against Hody Jones ended in his victory, though just barely; in fact, from what Janet told me, he wouldn't have won if she hadn't taken a picture of his trident, which allowed Grand to deliver a devastating final attack that knocked him unconscious, though he too also collapsed shortly after because of the poison in his body. However, thanks to Janet's innovative thinking, she took a picture of him and then used a jet dial, which she had taken from our stash of dials from our trip to Skypiea and used that to quickly return to Freyja, who then sucked out the poison from his system, since, as a demon, she was completely immune to any types of poisons and diseases.
"Fine. I'll allow them to take a break." Said Diddy calmly, his words causing Trenza to clench her fist in joy as she blew him a kiss, only for him to suddenly grin.
"But you and Janet are going to have to pick up their slack." Added Diddy with a wicked grin, causing Trenza and Janet to freeze as they looked at Scar and Grand, both carrying stacks of boxes filled with hundreds of pounds of gold.
"G-Go Scar!" "Y-You can do it, Grand!" Yelled Trenza and Janet, respectively, as they cheered Scar and Grand, causing them to smile wryly while Diddy chuckled.
