While everyone was confused by the change in the surrounding forests, Trenza was suddenly forced to cover her ears as Zunesha released a loud howl, one much stronger than anything he'd ever done before, though that was probably because he felt significantly younger now that he was full of my vitality.
"Urgh, i-is he louder!?" Exclaimed Trenza angrily in pain as she collapsed to her knees while groaning in pain, only for her figure to suddenly be replaced with a photo.
"You can thank me later." Said Janet with a faint smile as she picked the photo out of the air while stuffing it into her cleavage, which only served to further anger Trenza.
Unholstering Naga-sa, I twirled it above my head before slamming it onto Zunesha's body, causing his whole body to shudder as he finally took the hint I gave him to shut up.
"Tsk, better, so fucking annoying." Muttered Diddy in annoyance as he rubbed his ears while holstering Naga-sa onto his back.
"Alright, I'll be right back; I've got to order this loud idiot to take us to the top of the red line." Added Diddy lightly as he leaped into the air, propelling himself to Zunesha's head.
"To speak to Grand like that, not nice, Captain." Said Reiju softly, her words causing Sebas, Scar, Janet, and Mael to chuckle.
"Hey! I'm only loud, not stupid! If anyone is stupid, it's Scar; he's the dumbass who thought it would be smart to play with knives at the age of four. How do you think he got that scar on his face!?" Exlciamed Grand with a grunt as he folded his arms while glaring at Reiju, only to point at Scar, who promptly stopped laughing.
Once I arrived at Zunesha's head, I floated a mile or so in front of him so he could clearly see, though just as I was about to order him to take us Mariejois, he swung his trunk at me; however, I had to admit, it was several times stronger compared to himself now that he had gotten his strength back.
"Huh, you must really be loyal to that Joy boy fellow, though I don't really care. Take us to Mairejois, or I'll kill you, and to be honest, I'm hoping you disobey me." Remarked Diddy with a faint smirk as he raised his arm, stopping Zunesha's attack with a shield of haki, only for him to bare his fangs while growling.
Unfortunately for me, Zunesha took my warning to heart and lowered his trunk, causing me to click my tongue. However, in the end, it was still a good decision since crowding everyone onto Pandemonium would be a pain.
Giving Zunesha one last look, I kicked my feet against the air, propelling back to Zou, where everyone was currently waiting, though when I arrived, Grand and Scar were fighting for some reason.
"Loud idiot!" "You're the idiot!" Stated Scar and Grand, respectively, as they punched each other in the face while refusing to take a step back, only for Diddy to suddenly slam them onto the ground.
"No fighting; we're about to invade Mariejois." Ordered Diddy lightly as he stood atop Grand and Scar while gazing down at them, prompting them to faintly nod.
"Did the elephant listen?" Asked Blackbeard as he and Kaido approached Diddy, only for Zunesha to tremble, followed by a light gust of wind hitting their faces.
"Worororo, how long until we arrive at Mairejois?" Asked Kaido with laughter as he looked at Diddy while drinking from his gourd, prompting Diddy to rub his chin with a thoughtful expression.
"Hmm, a few hours? I don't really know; Zunesha isn't as fast as you'd think, but he should be moving much faster now." Replied Diddy lightly as he tapped his foot onto the floor before shrugging his shoulders and looking at Kaido.
"If that's so, let us have a drink!" "Uh, no. I'm going to rest. It's been a few days since I've slept, and I need to be in peak condition when I fight this Imu." Remarked Kaido and Diddy, respectively, as the former raised his now empty gourd into the air, only for the latter to shake his head while walking away.
"Zehahaha, are you sure, Kong?" Asked Blackbeard with a grin, only for him to raise his arm and block a lightning bolt that brunt his hair.
"Do you think I got this strong from drinking? Rest is just as important, if not even more, than training; after all, you can't improve yourself if your body isn't ready to be improved. Now leave me be; wake me up when we arrive at Mairejois." Stated Diddy lightly as he yawned while leaping into the air and landing on Nimbus, falling asleep seconds later.
"Let's fuck." Muttered Freyja as she whispered into Scar's ear, who surprisingly refused.
"No, Captain is right; I should rest." Said Scar seriously as he pushed Freyja away before entering a random house to rest, causing her to pout.
"I-I'll take his spot!" Stated Grand with an eager smile as he approached Freyja, only for Janet to intercept him while dangerously smiling, causing him to gulp nervously.
"O-On second thought, Scar has always been the smartest among us; I-I should probably listen to him." Added Grand nervously as he rubbed his head before turning around, squeezing his large body into the same house Scar was in.

"Tell me, how did you six flee?" Asked Kong with a deep frown as he stared at Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, Kizaru, Fujitora, and Ryokugyu.
"Hehe, flee, Commander-in-Chief Kong?" Replied Garp with a slight chuckle as he snacked at crackers while glancing at Kong, who, despite looking old, retained his muscular and battle-hardened appearance.
"Now isn't the time for this Garp! The World Government is about to face its most dangerous moment since its creation!" Declared Kong angrily as he slammed his fist onto the table, which had transformed into a large arm covered in red fur.
"We didn't flee, Commander-in-Chief." "Then how the hell are you here, talking with me, Sengoku!?" Stated Sengoku and Kong, respectively, as the former lowered his head in shame while the latter gritted his teeth in anger.
"Chaos Kong set us free." Added Akainu, his words causing Kong to furrow his brows while narrowing his eyes, confused by his words.
"What do you mean he set you free?" "Just like our Fleet Admiral– Well, does that title even exist anymore with the destruction of the Marines? Anyways, just like Akainu said, Chaos Kong willingly let us go." Said Kong and Garp, respectively; the latter rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression, only for him to shake his head as he glanced at the former.
"Inform the World Government in four days, we will invade. That is what Chaos Kong wished for us to tell you." "That was four days ago." Said Fujitora and Kizaru, respectively, as they glanced at Kong, who widened his eyes before narrowing his eyes.
"If that's so, why the hell did you three only arrive thirty minutes ago!?" Exclaimed Kong in growing anger as he narrowed his eyes, only for Ryokugyu to raise his arm, displaying the sea stone handcuffs.
"Because we could barely find the strength to sail here in the given time limit." Replied Ryokugyu as he glanced at Kong, who noticeably calmed down, though he was still upset.
"Before I relay this information to the Elders, is there anything else? I tried to send spies to gather information, but not a single one returned, and I could risk using CP0; they're too valuable to pointlessly send to their deaths." Asked Kong curiously as he lowered his arms and gazed at the six, seeking useful information.
"Besides the tens of thousands of pirates that have joined the Frenzy Pirates Grandfleet, the Blackbeard Pirates have joined their ranks, along with the walking Island, Zunesha, and I can only assume the Minks as well." Stated Sengoku as he looked at Kong, whose expression turned ugly, causing him to gnash his teeth, only for him to release a deep breath.
"The Grandfleet and average pirates aren't a big deal; the Frenzy, Blackbeard, and Beast pirates are the most troublesome. One Emperor of the Sea wouldn't be a problem; two would be troublesome, but three… That's going to be dangerous." Remarked Kong softly as he folded his arms, tapping his bicep with a thoughtful expression, only for his expression to suddenly worsen.
"Plus the Revolutionary Army. No way in hell would they miss such a golden opportunity; even if we don't lose, we'll be greatly weakened after the war." Added Kong with a deep frown, only for him to release a deep sigh.
"We've got an army of nearly 200,000,000 Men thanks to the numerous Kingdoms banning together, several thousand slaves, numerous weapons, several Holy Knights, the five Elders, the Red-haired Pirates, and now you six. This will be a full-on World War, one that I find difficult we'd lose." Declared Kong, his words slightly surprising the six as they raised their brows, only for Garp to chuckle.
"Hahaha, I see things differently; this is most likely the end of the World Government. I saw what Chaos Kong was doing during his fight with those seven children, heh; I don't know what he's cooked up, but he's not someone that will be easily beaten." Remarked Garp with a wry smile, only for Kong to suddenly smile, surprising him.
"No worries. Thanks to those seven children, we believe we've found Chaos Kong's secret. Devil fruit." Stated Kong with a faint grin, his words shocking the six present.
