After my little talk with Freyja, we descended into silence, mostly because she seemed to be full self-loathe, but either way, it didn't matter to me as I walked down the stairs arriving at the deck while heading toward the front of the boat, passing by Sebas in the process, though he was looking at Briss Kingdom to our right, seemingly deeply contemplating something.
Leaning against the front of the ship's railing, I patiently waited, something I wouldn't say I like doing, for the ship to sail around to the west of the Island, where the majority of the marines were stationed for defense, which was a little dumb in my opinion, to have most of your troops in one area, but I suppose guarding the main port to the island would make sense.
"Freyja, make sure to take a big arc; I don't want to come in at an angle; I wish to attack them head first; it'll be much more fun that way." Ordered Diddy with a smirk, to which Freyja responded by steering the ship away from the island.
Sometime later, once our ship was quite a distance away from the island, Freyja did a U-turn, turning our boat until it was pointing directly at the island as we headed straight towards the Briss kingdom dock, though since Freyja was required to sail pretty far away to successfully make the turn without getting discovered, it would take a few minutes before we arrived within range of fire from the few marines ships patrolling the surrounding waters.
'Hehe, this will be fun!' Thought Diddy with a feral grin as he eyed the island several kilometers in the distance.

While the Frenzy pirates were heading towards the Briss Kingdom docks to launch a raid, the unsuspecting marines were currently patrolling the surrounding water, or they should've been.
On one of the biggest marine ships, known as the battleship, second only to a Destroyer which is used in severe situations, such as a buster call; at the top of the mast, where the lookouts are stationed, a little game of poker was happening.
"Haha; I win, Royal Flush!" Yelled a marine in victory as he slammed five cards, consisting of an Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and a ten, onto a large box, causing four other marines to release a defeated sigh.
"Dammit!" Said a marine as he threw down his cards and huffed angrily while eyeing the first marine.
"Tch, what unfortunate luck, and I had a straight flush." Muttered a different marine as she set her cards down in defeat.
"Well, I didn't expect to win; but I don't like repeatedly losing to the same person." Remarked another marine as he laid his cards down while smoking a cigarette.
"Told you, I'm the king of poker; I've never once lost a game of poker, and I never will!" Said the first marine with a large smile as he grabbed all the cards from the various players and began shuffling.
"Alright, I agreed to play with you four, so can we return to our duties? If our superior finds out we were playing poker on the job, do you know how screwed we'll all be!?" Exclaimed the last marine as he stood up and pointed out to sea, coincidently pointing directly at a small incoming ship.
"It's fine, calm down; what pirates would be stupid enough to actually sail near Briss Kingdom? Even some of the most renowned and infamous pirates wouldn't attack a Kingdom associated with the World Government; it's suicidal, after all." Remarked the second marine dismissively, as he grabbed his new hand of cards while glancing at the sea, only for his eyes to widen when he spotted a small ship.
"W-What the!?" Remarked the second marine as he quickly stood up and grabbed his binoculars while zooming in on the ship, his actions taking everyone by surprise.
"Are my eyes deceiving me, or is that actually a pirate ship?" Asked the first marine as he and everyone else grabbed their binoculars, inspecting the ship.
"Quickly sound the alarm!" Yelled the last marine while running toward a bell with a rope and shaking it, alerting everyone on the deck as they spurred into action.
"Hmm, I might be mistaken, but I've seen that flag somewhere." Muttered the third marine with a frown while eyeing the ship's jolly roger as he quickly rummaged through his satchel before taking out a newspaper.
"Yeah, I knew I'd seen it somewhere before; that's the jolly roger for the newly formed Frenzy pirates." Added the fourth marine as he and everyone else were swiftly filled with nervousness.
"A-Anyways, we have no reason to be so nervous; Rear Admiral Hina arrived to restock on supplies; with her presence, those pirates will be easily defeated." Stated the first marine, his words soothing everyone.
"Yeah, everything will be fine." Muttered the third marine, though she still felt uneasy for some reason.

"Hehe, It's about damn time!" Stated Diddy with a smirk as he unholstered Naga-sa and eyed the incoming marine battleship, followed by several smaller but also deadly ships.
Just as I said that, I heard loud flapping, followed by someone speedily rushing right past me, only to spot Freyja angrily flying toward the ships while displaying her potent bloodlust.
"Hoho, no need to wait, Captain; I can tell you're quite eager to engage them; allow me to protect the ship in your stead. Even with the vitality you had given me, I'm still an old man; it'll take longer for me to heal fully, so until then, I'll like to avoid confrontation, though I'm confident in being able to protect this ship from cannon fire." Remarked Sebas, chuckling as he approached Diddy with his hands behind his back while gazing upon the foremost battleship that had just shot cannon balls.
"If you say so, I won't stay a second longer; just know if I return to a damaged ship, I will beat you up again." Replied Diddy with a grin while looking at Sebas before jumping into the air and powerfully kicking, propelling himself through the sky as he passed by the numerous cannonballs.
While chasing behind Freyja, who had just landed on the closest marine ship, I looked behind me as I was curious about how Sebas would stop the cannonballs since I doubted he was currently strong enough to stop a cannonball, but then again, I suppose I shouldn't have expected to see anything special because whenever they neared our ship, their trajectory would suddenly be diverted towards the water instead before quickly exploding afterward.
'Diverting them is much easier than outright stopping them; at least I no longer have to stay back and protect my ship while Freyja goes ahead.' Mused Diddy with a smile as he quickened his speed while heading toward the same ship as Freyja.
Once I arrived at the closet ship, I looked down and spotted Freyja from up above, yet instead of seeing the usual sight of her indulging in sexual pleasure, she was currently causing mass destruction as she killed everyone in sight with her deadly sharp elongated nails, which were like mini swords, that sliced right through humans like they were never there, to begin with.
With a smirk, I kicked off the air, propelling myself towards the ships, crashing Naga-sa right into a marine that was trying to sneak attack Freyja from behind.
"Hehe, you owe me one, Freyja." Said Diddy with a grin while squatting atop Naga-sa, which was embedded into the body of a dead marine, while eyeing the hundreds of marine soldiers.
"I knew he was there, I was just about to kill him, but someone interfered and beat me to it." Replied Freyja with a raspy voice as she brandished her nails while standing beside Diddy as armed enemies completely surrounded the two.
"You always use your bewitching abilities of a Succubus to defeat your enemies, but isn't this way more enjoyable? What's more fun than crushing hordes of enemies with your overwhelming power and technique!?" Exclaimed Diddy with a feral grin as he hopped off his staff and landed on the ground beside Freyja, his actions causing the marines to flinch nervously.
"I'm not a psycho like you, Diddy; I'm merely releasing some anger, that's it." Stated Freyja as he glanced at Diddy before shaking her head.
"Hehe, whatever you say, but I find you to be just as equally psychotic as me." Muttered Diddy as he brandished his staff while baring his fangs at the hundreds of enemies.
"A-ATTACK!!" Yelled someone among the hundreds of marines loudly, his words igniting the morale of everyone as they raised their weapons into the air and charged toward the two.
Seeing the incoming horde of enemies, I smirked as I threw my bow-staff into the sky while getting into stance to use one of my personally created attacks; Freyja, on the other hand, sprouted wings from her back once more as she flew up into the air and expanded her wings to their maximum.
"Beast Shockwave!" Said Diddy with a grin as a large amount of electricity covered his right arm before punching the right side of the horde, causing a large wave of lightning to release from his arm.
"Hellish Winds!" Said Freyja as she powerfully flapped her wings, which were on fire, creating a large gust of scorching wind that headed for the left side of the horde.
When our attacks hit, the right side of the marines were stopped in their tracks as they started spazzing out while the lighting arced from body to body, frying them one at a time until they dropped dead, leaving behind a burnt smell. Freyja's attack caused the left side of the marine horde to be sent flying through the sky as her winds managed to create a miniature tornado; however, while that wasn't so dangerous, the tornado was fuelled by blazing hot air, which scorched their skin, burning them until they either passed out or died.
"Hahaha! What fun!" Yelled Diddy with a grin as he outstretched his hand, catching his staff before it hit the ground.
