"Heh, don't be sad, Pandy; I'll rub you as well." Stated Trenza with a faint smile as she stroked the snake before looking down at the turtle, causing her eyes to brighten while she softly howled.
"What the hell did you just say?" Asked Diddy with furrowed brows as he folded his arms and looked at Trenza, who turned around and tilted her head.
"I'll rub you as well? Why? Did you want me to rub you as well, Captain? I-I mean, I'm not against it; I just didn't expect you would be into that kind of stuff." Remarked Trenza with a raised eyebrow and a slight blush as she approached Diddy, who aggressively growled while baring his fangs.
"Tsk, no, that's not what I ~Ahh~." Said Diddy as he glared at Trenza, who suddenly outstretched her hand and scratched the spot behind his ear, causing him to subconsciously moan in pleasure, one that took them both aback.
"Eh, C-Captain?" Asked Trenza hesitantly as she retracted her arm while giving Diddy, who was deeply blushing, a weird look.
"How do you want to die, Trenza?" Asked Diddy with a furious and embarrassed expression as he glared at Trenza while lightning arched around his body, causing her to scratch behind his ear quickly again.
Feeling Trenza scratching right behind my ear, I suppressed the moan that threatened to escape and intently glared at her; over my dead body, was I ever going to admit that her scratches felt wonderful.
'Ugh, dammit! Why does it feel good!?' Thought Diddy in anger as he clenched his fist while staring daggers into Trenza, not even realizing his tail was wagging like crazy.
"Hmm, I never realized it, but your fur is actually really soft, Captain." Said Trenza softly as she scratched behind Diddy's ear, pacifying him while trailing her hand across his golden brown fur.
'Mother fucker, I'm going to kill ~Ahh~, that's the spot, right there.' Mused Diddy in unbridled fury as lightning spewed out his eyes, only for his angry expression to vanish suddenly when Trenza found his sweet spot.
Unfortunately and fortunately, Trenza continued to scratch me for a little bit longer before Pandemonium, out of jealously, gently rocked the boat, causing Trenza to fall backward, finally snapping me out of my little trance, and I couldn't have been more furious and embarrassed in my life.
"Ouch; what the hell was that? I thought the water was supposed to be calm." Muttered Trenza with a frown as she rubbed her head and stood up, only to glance at Diddy and freeze while fear quickly crept into her heart.
"U-Umm, C-Captain; I-I don't know w-why you're angry, b-but I-I think w-we can t-talk about this, r-right?" Added Trenza fearfully as she grabbed Sunaipu while slowly backing away from Diddy, who glared at her with the utmost fury.
"I'm. Going. To. Kill. You." Declared Diddy slowly; patches of his golden brown fur took on a silver luster while his golden eyes emitted a silver light.
"C-Can you not? I-I'd like to live, Captain." Muttered Trenza meekly as she leaned against the edge of the crow's nest while looking at Diddy, who was practically breathing on her, before suddenly glancing to the right and widening her eyes.
"Eh, S-Ship!" Yelled Trenza in shock as she looked at the sizable ship in the distance, her words causing Diddy and everyone else who heard to to look in the direction she was pointing.
Following Trenza's finger, I looked behind, half-expecting it to be a ploy by her to get some time to escape, yet, to my surprise, there it was, far off in the distance and barely discernable, a ship; from the looks of it, it doesn't seem to be a regular ship either. Frowning, I glanced at the ship before looking at Trenza, and while I was still very tempted to kill her, I honestly would rather not if I could; she is a good cook.
"You tell a single person about what happened, and I'll eat you whole. Understand me Trenza!?" Exclaimed Diddy with a murderous glint in his eyes as he leaned forward, opening his mouth and licking Trenza's cheek, causing her to rapidly nod in fear while gazing at his razor-sharp teeth.
"Y-Yes, C-Captain; n-not a single s-soul will know about it. I-I promise!" Replied Trenza solemnly while resting her hand atop her heart, inwardly praying to whatever god was willing to listen.
Grunting in annoyance, I gave Trenza one last look before turning around and ignoring her as I focused back on the ship coming from in front of me, and once it got within a certain distance, two things suddenly happened. One, I realized that it was a pirate ship, and not any pirate ship, but one that was able to sail the calm belt since two small sea kings were pulling it, and two…
"Someone powerful is on that ship." Muttered Diddy with a feral grin as he glared at the large reddish ship, which two snake sea kings were pulling.
Leaping out of the crow's nest, I landed on the deck beside Scar, who, despite spending a lot of sexy time with Freyja, never once slacked off in his training.
"D-Do you need y-your b-bo-staff back, Captain?" Asked Scar lightly as he glanced at Diddy while powering through the exhaustion and continuing to train with Naga-sa.
"No, I've been using it to fight against the sea kings; sometimes it's nice just to use my hands and feet; I love the sensation of vividly feeling whenever I break my opponent's bones or tear through flesh." Stated Diddy with a ferocious expression as he stretched his body while baring his nails, causing Scar to nod nervously.
Leaving Scar, I walked over to Sebas, who, like usual, was sitting at our makeshift table, relaxing after having trained his mind to his limit.
"Who are they?" Asked Diddy with a feral expression as he looked at Sebas, who set his tea down before glancing at the approaching ship in the distance.
"I'm surprised you don't recognize them, Captain; their Captain is one of the seven warlords of the Sea, Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, Captain of the Kuja pirates, Empress of Amazon Lily, and former most beautiful woman in the world before Freyja took that title." Remarked Sebas with a raised eyebrow as he looked at the ship before sipping tea while Diddy sported a large grin.
"Seven warlords of the sea? Boa Hancock? Hehe, no wonder I sensed someone powerful on that ship." Said Diddy with a large feral grin as he looked at the reddish ship being pulled by two sea kings before leaping onto the upper deck where Freyja was manning the helm
"Hehe, you know what to do, Freyja." Ordered Diddy with a grin as he stood beside Freyja while his eyes never once left the ship in the distance.
"Hmph, I'm already on it; besides, I'm slightly curious how attractive the former most beautiful woman in the world looks in person." Stated Freyja with a scoff as she looked at Diddy before spinning the helm clockwise, turning the boat right, directly for the ship.

"Do you two have anything to say?" Asked Hancock angrily as she sat on a throne with her legs crossed while eyeing her sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia, who were kneeling before her with their heads down.
"We're sorry, Sister; we had intended for it to be a quick trip, but the Frenzy pirates had done something thought impossible, and we tried to help the marines by participating in the trap at the next island, but they never showed; then they somehow managed to escape three admirals before comply disappearing for nearly two full weeks." Replied Sandersonia, the smarter one among the two, though her words did little to help her situation.
"I had chased you two down for over a month out of worry because of a stupid vision that old granny saw; I know why you two did so; it was to kill Freyja, making me the most beautiful woman by defeat once more, and as your sister, it fills my heart with warmth." Remarked Boa in anger as she looked at Marigold and Sandersonia in concern before placing her hand atop her chest and looking at them with love and affection.
"Sister." Muttered both Marigold and Sandersonia with teary eyes as they looked at Boa, who suddenly hardened her gaze once more.
"However, that isn't how I wish to regain my title; I'll earn the title the correct way and by myself through my own beauty, and then you can kill her." Declared Hancock solemnly as the aura of a conquer emanated from her, only for rapid knocks to be suddenly heard.
"Tch, what is it? It better be important for interrupting a talk with my sisters." Stated Hancock with an irritated expression as she stroked her large pink and white polka-dotted snake coiled around her.
"E-Empress, t-there is a ship; w-we spotted a ship in the Calm Belt." Stated a young woman as she practically busted through the doors and looked at Hancock, softly blushing in the process.
"Hmph, you dare interrupt me and my sisters over something so irrelevant?" Remarked Boa in slight anger as she raised her hands, making a heart shape, though she suddenly froze when the woman continued speaking.
"T-The ship, i-it's flag, it's of the Frenzy pirates, Empress." Declared the young woman, her words causing Hancock, Marigold, and Sandersonia to freeze before they all quickly left the room, walking to the ship's railing, only to eye a small ship in the distance being followed by a large black tortoise Sea king.
"Frenzy Pirates." Muttered Hancock with a deep frown as she gazed at the ship's jolly roger.
