Erupting into chaotic laughter, I leaped into the air while clenching my fist, coating it in lightning while I landed right beside Blackbeard, whose fist was engulfed in a white spherical glow.
"Zehahahaha, Earth Shaker!" "Hahaha, Beastly Shockwave!" Yelled Blackbeard and Diddy, respectively, as they violently punched the air, causing cracks and lightning to rapidly expand towards the ten holy Knights while all of Mariejois aggressively shook.
Although there were ten of them, they stood no chance against the combined might of Blackbeard and I, and with our powerful attack, we sent them flying in various directions while Kaido and Freyja took charge, releasing a powerful attack that cleaved right through everything in their path.
"Worororo, Thunder Bagua!" "Fufufu, Heavens Abyss!" Stated Kaido and Freyja, respectively, as they combined their attacks, creating a devastating attack that destroyed everything, cleaving a path right through Mairejois before reaching the mansion in the distance.
However, that wasn't it, as Bullet brought up the rear, ending our first assault on Mariejois with a powerful, purple beam from the chest of his submarine-turned-robot.
"Kahahaha, Raya Mortal!" Yeled Bullet with a burst of ferocious laughter as he aimed his beam directly at the mansion, causing explosions to erupt whenever his beam went.
Once Bullet finally stopped the attack, the five of us stared at the mansion from a distance, expecting to see it having sustained some level of damage, yet it was perfectly intact; only the surrounding of Mariejois was damaged, and the mansion looked like it hadn't just been attacked.
"Oh, this is going to be harder than I expected; I'm sure the fact you allowed those six marines to flee isn't helping our chances." Said Freyja lightly with a deep frown as she stared at the mansions before looking at Diddy, who simply grinned like a madman.
"Hahaha, good! I'd be disappointed if our first attack had damaged the mansion! Now that we're done testing the waters, let's go and enjoy ourselves!" Stated Diddy with a grin as he licked his fangs and dropped to all fours before speedily dashing forward, quickly passing Bullet, Freyja, and Kaido.
"Worororo, I want a battle worthy of death!" "Kahahah, I'm right behind you, Captain!" "Zehahaha, this will be fun!" Stated Kaido, Bullet, and Blackbeard, respectively, as they all followed behind Diddy, who deflected continuous cannon fire, the explosions doing nothing to him.
"Haa, I'm surrounded by Idiotic fools." Muttered Freyja lightly as she transformed into her Satan's soul while flapping her wings, quickly catching up with the four men in the distance.
Emerging from the smoke from exploding cannonballs, my eyes darted through the army of over two hundred million soldiers, and I didn't even bother wasting my haki on them and simply blasted my aura, causing their expression to distort into fear.
"Hahahaha, did you think numbers could stop me!? Even if there were 200,000,000,000, it still wouldn't be enough to satisfy me!" Yelled Diddy with a ferocious grin as he punched at the foremost soldier, only for one of the ten holy knights to suddenly block him.
"You will not take a single step further-" Said the holy Knight sternly as he gazed at Diddy in hatred, anger, and disgust, though he was interrupted by a golden-brown fist punching him in the face.
"From now on, I'm only speaking one language… Violence!" Stated Diddy with a feral grin as he once again punched the holy knight, though he only managed to force him backward.
"F-Filthy monkey! Fine, I'll speak your lowly language! Let me show you the violence of what 200,000,000 men are capable of! ALL FOR ONE!" Stated the holy knight furiously as he glared at Diddy, only to suddenly raise his arms into the air, creating an ethereal string that connected him to every single soldier.
"How the hell do you know All for o-" Asked Diddy, though he couldn't finish speaking as the holy knight had viciously punched his stomach, creating a massive shockwave that destroyed the surrounding buildings.
"Tell me, you lowly monkey, how does it feel to be attacked by the world itself!?" Exclaimed the holy knight with an arrogant grin as he glanced at Diddy, who dropped to his knees, only to suddenly chuckle.
"Hehehe, never realized the world was so weak." Muttered Diddy with a smirk as he stood up while patting his stomach, seemingly immune to the holy knight's attack, shocking him.
Before he could retaliate, I pushed off the ground, speedily approaching the man as I punched a hole right through his stomach while lifting him into the air.
"Hehehe, how does it feel to be attacked by Diddy D. Kong?" Asked Diddy mockingly as he glanced at the holy knight he skewered, only to lean forward, dodging a slash from Garling while tossing the dying holy knight toward him.
"To dare kill one of God's soldiers!" Stated Garling furiously with a bloodthirsty expression as he swung his sword at Diddy, launching a powerful sword attack, only for an explosion of plasma to block it.
"Hmph, so he's the bastard with a Supreme-grade Sword? Tsk, I was hoping he'd be worth the trouble, but it's just an old man." Said Mael with a grunt as he blocked Garling's attack while eyeing his sword before shifting his focus to him.
"Hehehe, deal with him for me, Mael; these Holy Knights are far too weak for me. Besides, I've already got my eyes set on my opponents." Ordered Diddy lightly as he glanced at Mael, who nodded with a grunt before turning around and dashing into the distance.

"Where do you think you're going!?" Yelled Garling as he attacked Diddy again, only for Mael to block it, angering him.
"You see this tattoo? Unlike a lot of previous slaves, I don't hide what I once was because I want you and every Celestial Dragon to know the person who killed you was nothing but a former slave." Stated Mael solemnly as he turned around and pointed at the tattoo on his back before narrowing his eyes at Garling, who squinted.
"Before I kill you, I'll make sure the last thing you see is this tattoo." Added Mael as he clenched his axe before flapping his wings, lunging at Garling, who raised his sword, blocking his attack that spread plasma in all directions, burning everything to ashes.

Dashing through the army, I speedily made my way toward the mansion, where I could sense the Five elders, the seven children, Shanks, and the five others, causing my blood to boil in excitement.
'I can even faintly sense Imu's presence; he or she is somewhere in there. I can't wait.' Thought Diddy with a feral grin as he leaped out of the densely packed army, soaring over the gates that separated the rest of Mariejois from the mansion before landing on the lush green ground.
Just as I took a step forward, a sword wave suddenly headed straight for me, prompting me to raise my arm as I caught the attack before tossing it into the air; shifting my focus to Shanks, I gave him a faint smirk as I began stretching for this upcoming battle.
"Heh, you didn't bring your crew?" "No, this wasn't something that I, as a Pirate Captain, could force my crew to do. It wouldn't sit right with me." Remarked Diddy and Shanks, respectively, as the latter shook his head, exiting from the shadows while gazing at the former, who twisted unnaturally.
"Heh, well, you do you. Though before we start this fight, will the others show themselves?" Asked Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he glanced at Shanks, only for the seven children to suddenly appear while surrounding Diddy, who casually glanced at him before shaking his head.
"No, not you weaklings; I'm talking about the five others. Those are the ones I truly wish to fight; my body is trembling in excitement, and I can barely contain myself." Stated Diddy lightly as he glanced at the seven Seraphim before narrowing his eyes at Shanks, who glanced at S-Gecko.
With a wave of the child's hand, five more figures suddenly appeared, and each one towered over me, though as I gazed at their figures, I couldn't contain my excitement, and I erupted into laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHA!! THIS! THIS WILL BE FUN!" Declared Diddy with a ferocious grin as he brandished his nails and bared his fangs at the five, completely ignoring the Serphaim as if they didn't exist.
"Mamamama, I'll brutally kill you for what you did to me, Kong!"
"Gurarararara, we met again Kong! Looks like you're no longer that pipsqueak brat."
"Shihahaha, so you're the one causing a ruckus among this generation of Pirates? Interesting! Very interesting!"
"Wahahaha, this is the boy that attacked you, Whitebeard? Wahahaha, no wonder you died!"
"Xebahahaha, I've heard you formed a strong yet chaotic crew; Xebahahaha, that brings me back."
Eyeing the five different people, I licked my fangs as I spoke each one of their names.
"Big Mom. Whitebeard. Golden Lion Shiki. Roger. Rocks. Hehehehe, I feel honored." Said Diddy lightly as he glanced at the five figures that towered over him.
