Folding my arms, I patiently stood still while waiting for those three to stand back up, though while doing so, I suddenly tilted my head to the left and grabbed a bead that was shot at me from behind; eyeing the orangish bead, I turned and glanced at the dude with a long nose, holding a weird looking slingshot while sporting a grin.
"Tsk, bor-" Said Diddy as he eyed Usopp, though before he could finish, the bead in his hand suddenly exploded into a fiery eruption, engulfing Diddy.
"Haha, you are no match for I, Usopp the Great!" Yelled Usopp with an arrogant smirk as he stood confidently and glared at where Diddy stood.
Clicking my tongue, I waved my hand, blowing the smoke away, and lunged toward the fool who calls himself Usopp; before he could even react, I grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air.
"Other than burning my clothes, your attack did nothing, and you're so weak I don't even feel like killing you." Remarked Diddy blandly as he eyed the terrified Usopp with his beastly eyes before tossing him overboard, causing him to scream.
Ignoring that weakling, I looked down at my clothes and clicked my tongue in annoyance as I ripped my burnt clothes off my body, which weren't even mine; it was actually Scar's, but it didn't matter since they were burnt, and now I was wearing nothing expect my holster for Naga-sa.
"Ah, freedom at its finest." Muttered Diddy with a slight grin as he stretched a little, his massive schlong dangling merely a few feet before a terrified chopper.
Just as I was about to observe this weird-looking creature, I suddenly titled to the side, ducked down, and leaped out of the way, dodging a kick, horizontal sword slashes, and a punch, which all came from behind. Looking behind me, I saw the three I had previously beaten earlier, although while Sanji and the swordsman were slightly injured, the Captain was completely fine, which I attributed to his rubber-like body.
"Oi, stop running away, monkey! Gatling gun!" Yelled Luffy with a frown as he stared at Diddy in the air and released a rapid flurry of punches at incredible speed.
Smirking, In a fluid motion, I dodged each one of the punches with minimal movement as I approached him before grabbing one of his arms and yanking him to the ground, causing him to land face-first into the deck. However, I wasn't given a second respite as a black leg and a pair of blades headed right for me.
"Concasse! 36-pound phoenix!" Stated Sanji and Zoro, respectively, as they flanked Diddy's sides and attacked him, though it was obviously met with failure.
'72 Bian; variation 54, Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.' Thought Diddy as he fluidly moved his hands like water, redirecting Sanji and Zoro's attacks to not only miss him but hit each other instead.
Seems the two realized they were going to hit each other as they tried to stop, but it was too late; the swordsman was kicked right in the face, while Sanji's clothes were cut, and two gashes appeared on his torso, granted they were flesh wounds and hardly did any damage.
"Ugh! Bastard, move out of the way!" Yelled Zoro angrily as he stopped his body just before hitting the ship's railing while glaring at Sanji.
"I should be the one saying that, moss head! I nearly had him!" Yelled Sanji angrily as he landed on the ship's railing before launching himself back toward Diddy while staring dagger at Zoro.
"Hehe, you two remind me of Freyja and I, except you two are pretty much equal in strength." Remarked Diddy with a chaotic chuckle as he blocked Luffy's punches before grabbing both of his arms and headbutting him in the head, causing his neck to be stretched several feet back.
"Gum gum head butt!" Said Luffy as he launched his head right at Diddy, who took it directly to the face, yet it seemed to cause minimal damage if any at all.
"Heh, c'mon, as the Captain, you've got to be stronger; this barely counts as a warm-up. Hey Freyja, why don't you come and join them?" Stated Diddy with a slight smirk as he tossed Luffy toward the incoming Zoro, forcing the two back while glancing at Freyja floating in the air.
"Tch, no, they'll just get in the air, except for the Captain; he's not that strong, but he seems immune to your attacks. Everyone else would just get in the way or be used as cannon fodder." Replied Freyja with a frown as she looked at Diddy in annoyance before eyeing Luffy while licking her lips, plans to form within her mind.
Evading several kicks, I looked away from Freyja and eyed Sanji, who was relentlessly attacking me with only his legs, which caused me to smirk as I copied him and did the same.
"You're not the only one who knows how to fight with their legs." Said Diddy as he and Sanji continuously traded blows before he caught him by surprise.
"Concasse!" Said Diddy, imitating Sanji's attack, which surprised him as he landed his foot right on his chest, flinging him into the ship's kitchen after crashing through the door.
While I did manage to imitate his move, it wasn't the same; it was rough and sloppy, though, with enough practice, I could master it and even perfect it, yet I had no reason to; it wasn't necessarily that strong, and I already knew better martial arts.
"W-What the, did he just copy curly brows move?" Muttered Zoro with a frown as he eyed Diddy while Luffy ran right toward him, stretching his arm backward and twisting it.
"Gum Gum rifle!" Yelled Luffy as he shot his twisted arm at Diddy, who simply outstretched his hand and caught his fist before clenching it tightly.
"I'm curious; you seem to be immune to my punches, so what if I stab you?" Remarked Diddy in curiosity as he straightened his free hand and yanked Luffy toward him with his other hand, aiming to stab him in the stomach with his sharp nails.
Just as I was about to attempt to stab the Captain, the small creature I had ignored before came charging toward me, yet he was no longer small and was even larger than me.
"Arm point!" Said Chopper as he raised his hooves, preparing to slam them atop Diddy.
While I was curious about his new appearance, I was already testing something out, so I opted to leap out of the way; well, I tried to at least, but instead, I felt several hands grabbing my leg, which prevented me from moving; looking down, spotting those familiar pale arms which sprouted from the deck, I glanced at Robin on the upper deck giving me a slight smirk that I found amusing if anything.
However, just when I thought this combo was over, I saw Sanji emerge from the kitchen and run right toward me before leaping in the air while the swordsman pulled a third sword and placed it in his mouth; following that, I sensed two people who smelled of salt stand off in the distance, prompting me to glance at them, spotting Nami and long nose who I had thrown into the ocean previously.
Nami was holding a blue rod with sparks of electricity coming off it while pointing it at me, and beside her, long nose was stretching his slingshot back, about to launch what looked like multiple beads right at me.
"Gum gum, pistol!" Yelled Luffy while he was being yanked toward Diddy, his words acting as a signal as everyone else attacked simultaneously.
Grinning at their attacks, I released the Captain's arm, and with his attack reaching me first, I evaded his punch before closing my eyes and focusing on my clenched fist, only to land a devastating punch on his stomach, knocking him out cold. Flinging the dude's body away, I bared my nails at the swordsman and slashed down toward him, launching five thin yet powerful rankyaku; although he attempted to stop them with his three swords, my slashes overpowered him before flinging his unconscious body overboard into the sea with five bloody gashes.
Following that, Sanji kicked me in the face, yet thanks to tekkai, his attack did nothing; grabbing his foot before he could retract his leg, I raised him into the air before powerfully slamming him into and through the deck, causing the entire ship to tremble a little as he lay there motionless. Not even giving the weird creature a chance, I punched right through his hands and hit his face before grabbing it and squeezing, causing him to scream in pain before he fainted, returning to his previous appearance afterward.
The next was the several beads being launched through the air, yet with precise and gentle movements, I caught two in each of my hands, one with my teeth and the last one with my tail, before chucking them back at long nose in the distance; his partner, on the other hand, fired a thick bolt of lightning from her blue rod, but she couldn't have chosen a worse way to attack me. Outstrecthing my hand, I took control of the lightning bolt, and like a snake, I let it coil around my body before diverting it back toward Nami using my other arm.
Once that was over, I yanked my feet from the several arms holding me down, causing Robin to grunt in pain, though before she could do anything else, I lunged toward her, grabbing her by the throat and lifting her in the air.
"For defeating a warlord of the sea, your group is kind of disappointing; you seven hardly served as a warm-up. Though I suppose you're lucky, if you were any stronger, I would've killed you all." Remarked Diddy with a feral grin as he eyed Robin, who was holding onto his arm, frantically trying to stop herself from suffocating to no avail.
Once Robin fainted, I dropped her onto the ground, and as I looked up, I spotted my ship docking.
"Heh, perfect timing." Mused Diddy with a slight smirk as he ignored the Strawhat pirates and leaped toward his own ship, which was funnily parked right next to theirs.
