It's been a little over a week since we left the island where I acquired that eternal pose; we were about to set sail from our second island and head to our third island. The second Island we're presently on wasn't a particularly special island or anything, just another typical island, though it did happen to have a kingdom, and of course, as any decent pirate would do, we raided it; this time, though, I didn't bother with the royal family, I've already made a statement, there was no point in doing it again.
"Yo, Scar, have you, Trenza, and Grand finished collecting all valuables and loot?" Asked Diddy with a raised eyebrow while lying sideways on a throne as he glanced at Scar, who had just entered the throne room.
"No, our ship is small, so it can only carry so much loot; there are still literal tons of valuables in the royal treasury, and there is nothing we can do about it." Replied Scar lightly while shaking his head before glancing to his left, where the royal family was fearfully huddling together.
"Tch, lame; oh well, you know what they say. If I can't have it, no one can; put the rest of the gold on a ship and let it sail out to sea." Said Diddy with a slight frown before shaking his head and displaying a feral grin, causing Scar to sigh in pity; nonetheless, he still nodded.
"Alright, hopefully, we should finish within an hour; also, Captain, Freyja told me to tell you to ask how long it will take for a log pose to reset." Remarked Scar as he started to leave, only stopping and turning around once he reached the entrance of the throne room.
Nodding in response, I watched Scar leave before shifting my attention to my right, my eyes landing on the seven, previously eight, terrified members of the royal family; just cause I said I wasn't going to make a statement, didn't mean I wasn't going to kill them. Their King challenged me to a fight, or more accurately, a duel, of course, as I was still alive, I won, and quite easily at that, though I had a feeling the King knew he was going to die since before we even fought he asked me not to harm his family.
'Eh, the King was a weakling, but I must give him props; he's the closest to a true King in my eyes; well, to be fair, the only other king I've seen was that fat, arrogant one at Briss Kingdom.' Mused Diddy with a slight smirk as he looked at the decapitated corpse sprawled about in the middle of the throne room.
"Queen, how long will it take for a log pose to reset?" Asked Diddy calmly as he ignored the corpse and looked at the oldest woman, who was sitting in front of the six other people while fearfully eyeing Diddy.
"3-3 hours." Replied the Queen fearfully with a nervous gulp while the six children behind her shivered in fright.
"3 hours? Now, that's what I like to hear!" Said Diddy with a grin as he fixed his posture, sitting correctly on the throne.
"So, since we've got time to spare, come here." Added Diddy while looking at the Queen with his beastly eyes, causing her face to be pale, thinking the worst was about to happen.
"R-Right away." Said the Queen softly through gritted teeth as she steeled herself while giving her children a comforting smile before standing up and slowly approaching Diddy.
While the Queen's slow walking was annoying, I wasn't in any rush, so I wasn't too pressed, though what confused me was she got on her knees right before me; that's not all; she started undressing, which only confused me even more.
"The hell are you doing? I didn't tell you to strip." Remarked Diddy as he tilted his head in confusion while eyeing the Queen, who had already taken off her bra, using her arm to conceal her large breasts.
"D-Did you not intend to ravish my body?" Asked the Queen hesitantly as she looked up at Diddy, whose confusion had reached an all-time high.
"No, what the fuck gave you that idea? Are you crazy? I just wanted to ask what you knew about this wanted poster; besides, if I wanted to rape you, I wouldn't have waited so long. Also, why would I want to rape an old, ugly, used-up woman like you; at least think before you do something. Aren't you a Queen?" Questioned Diddy with a slight frown as he shook his head before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a wanted poster, though before the Queen could speak, the throne room doors opened again.
"Heh, speaking of old, ugly, used-up woman; what are you doing here, Freyja? Did you already finish devouring the men in the kingdom? It's only been a few hours; even for a toilet like yourself, that's rather fast." Said Diddy with a smirk as he looked up and looked at Freyja, who just raised her hand, manifesting an orange flame before throwing it at Diddy, though it didn't get far as a blue bolt of lightning destroyed it.
"Tch, no, I haven't eaten every man; I was taking a little break to check up on you. I wanted to make sure Scar had reminded you to ask about the log pose; also, you were lying about calling me those." Replied Freyja in annoyance as she approached Diddy before glancing at the royal family, who had all instantly succumbed to her bewitching charm, with a lovely smile.
"Yes, I remembered, I'm not some child; it's only three hours. We've already been here for about two hours, so we don't have much longer to wait. And you're right; I'll take back calling you ugly." Remarked Diddy while clicking his tongue before smirking, causing Freyja to huff in annoyance as she sat on the smaller throne right beside Diddy.
"Yeah, whatever you say, you 15 year old." Muttered Freyja with a shake of her head as she folded her arms, glancing at the wanted poster in Diddy's hands.
Ignoring Freyja's smart-ass mouth, I handed the Queen the wanted poster, though she was currently too busy blushing while looking at Freyja, causing me to growl, which prompted Freyja to suppress her bewitching capabilities, finally snapping the Queen out of her trance.
"Here, tell me about him, the Sun's Angel." Stated Diddy curiously as he leaned back on the throne while the Queen looked at the wanted poster.
"S-Suns Angel? I-I don't know too much about him, but I do know that he's only shown himself in the past year, yet as you can see, he's already got a bounty of 150,000,000 Beri's from targeting Marine and World Government ships. It's believed he is a devil fruit user that allows him to melt everything he touches; it's presumed he has eaten a devil fruit related to fire, specifically a logia devil fruit." Declared the Queen as she said everything she knew about the Sun's Angel before handing the wanted poster back to Diddy, who was sporting a thoughtful expression.
"Heh, 150,000,000 Beri's? He's got a higher bounty than you, Diddy; if he joins the Frenzy pirates, we'll have a new Captain." Remarked Freyja with a mocking grin as he looked at Diddy, who hardly reacted to her words.
"So? A bounty doesn't accurately represent strength; it only represents how much the World government sees you as a threat. I'm sure the world government thinks I'm just a stupid pirate with a little more strength than other pirates; though, that'll change soon." Replied Diddy with a slight smile as he glanced at Freyja before ignoring her.
'Fire devil fruit? Logia? Suns Angel? No, there is no way; a devil fruit like that surely can't exist, right? That's simply far too powerful; he could destroy the world with a devil fruit like that.' Thought Diddy with widened eyes of unconcealed excitement at his sudden revelation.
"Hahaha; Suns Angel, he's joining my crew!" Exclaimed Diddy with his signature chaotic laugh while his eyes showed desire as he looked at the Sun's angel-wanted poster, which was just a ball of bright light.
"Hmm, what's up with you? Did you just figure something out or what?" Asked Freyja with a raised eyebrow as she followed Diddy, who was now walking towards the throne room doors.
"I think so; a part of me finds it too hard to believe, while another part hopes I'm correct." Said Diddy with a feral grin as he exited the throne room with Freyja and walked through a broken wall he had made earlier.
Leaping into the air, I took to the skies while heading towards the port of the city, overlooking the destroyed and ravaged city; however, it was still mostly intact as we found it too tedious to search every house for valuables, not like it mattered, our ship was full of loot. Looking down, I spotted Trenza ordering a few men to follow her while they had what looked to be several bags of clothes, causing me to click my tongue, but I continued propelling myself through the sky, though before I made it too far, I suddenly stopped and turned around; eyeing the peak of the castle where two flags were blowing in the wind.
"Heh, being a pirate is exciting." Muttered Diddy as he pointed at the topmost flag before firing a lightning bolt, causing it to pass right through it, setting it on fire.
