"Tsk, I can't believe this crybaby is the same woman I was just eager to fight a little while ago; disappointing." Muttered Diddy in annoyance as he stood beside Freyja while they watched the sobbing Hancock be tended to by both Marigold and Sandersonia.
Watching Hancock cry significantly dampened my desire to fight her, which only made me angry with her; I wanted to fight the mighty pirate Empress Boa Hancock, not this second-place crybaby. So, with a huff of annoyance, I turned around and intended to head back to the ship before I decided to enter my sulong form and fuck-up everyone's day; however, before I could leave, I felt someone grab my tail, causing me to growl in annoyance as there were only two people who bold enough to do such a thing.
'Please be Freyja; it'll give me an excuse to beat her up.' Thought Diddy internally as he turned his head around like an owl, only to grin when he looked into Freyja's eyes.
"Where do you think you're going, Diddy? The beauty contest isn't over yet." Remarked Freyja with a slight frown as she looked at Diddy, whose feral smile promptly vanished before being replaced by an annoyed expression.
"Tsk, what do you mean it's not over yet? You've clearly won; you even made second place cry herself, which I must admit is rather impressive." Stated Diddy in slight annoyance as he eyed Freyja, only to glance at the crying Hancock before nodding back at Freyja, who took it with a smile.
"Thank you. I learned from the best how to defeat your enemies until they can't fight back anymore." Replied Freyja with a proud smile as she released Diddy's hand and flicked her long black hair behind her while accentuating her pair of watermelons hidden behind a sleeveless green dress.
"I'm referring to physically fighting someone, but if it works, it works." Said Diddy lightly with a nod as he folded his arms, subconsciously appreciating Freyja's mesmerizing beauty.
"Anyways, Diddy, as a judge, you can't leave just yet; you must declare who the winner is first so everyone properly knows who the most beautiful woman in the world is. Then you can go and do your monkey things, like throwing shit at people and eating bugs off your body." Stated Freyja solemnly as she waved her hand at Diddy before pointing at herself, only to mockingly smirk towards the end while he aggressively bared his fangs.
"Hehe, just because you've gotten sexier than before doesn't mean you're suddenly exempt from my beatings, Freyja. I wonder how sexy you'd be without those two watermelon-sized breasts of yours? They look quite tasty; I wouldn't mind taking a bite out of them, literally, of course." Declared Diddy with a faint chuckle as he licked his fangs, causing them to glisten under the moonlight while he stared at Freyja's breasts, genuinely curious if they'd taste good.
"Hmph, why must you be so mean, Captain? Why would you want to eat these splendid breasts of mine? Don't you know they can produce milk? I'm sure you'd greatly enjoy the taste." Said Freyja sensually with a seductive smirk as she rested her hand on Diddy's shoulder and leaned down while uplifting her breasts, accentuating them, allowing him to have an incredible view of her cleavage.
'Her seduction skills have definitely improved.' Thought Diddy with the faintest of blushes and a slight gulp as he stared at Freyja's busty cleavage while she slowly moved her hand to his neck, only for her to suddenly stop when she felt five sharp nails pressed against her throat.
"Heh, I'll hand it to you, Freyja; if you were this good and seducing when we were back on Karate Island, you would've turned me into your little slave without much trouble. However, I'm far too accustomed to your tricks now for them to work." Stated Diddy with a feral smirk as he held Freyja's neck while pressing his razor-sharp nails against her jugular, lightly scratching it and causing her to frown deeply.
"Tsk, I expected as much, but it was at least worth a try; if I had tried harder when we were still at Karate Island, you admitted there was a decent chance of me successfully seducing you. I wasn't about to make the same mistake twice, not against you of all people." Said Freyja with a click of her tongue as she removed her hand from Diddy's neck before fearlessly standing upright, seemingly uncaring for the five deadly nails that could tear right through her flesh with minimal effort.
Chuckling, I brought my hands back to my side before walking past Freyja, hitting her with my tail, which she promptly blocked with her forearm while grunting at me; as I approached Hancock, who was beginning to compose herself, though she was still a long way from regaining that regal and noble bearing she usually has.
"Yo, Hancock, stop with all the crying and get your ass onto the stage, we're about to announce the winner. Are you not a fucking Empress? At least cry when you're by yourself, everyone isn't trying to see all this bullshit." Remarked Diddy ruthlessly as he stood before Hancock with his hands in his pockets while ignoring Sandersonia and Marigold, who were both furiously glaring at him.
"THAT DOES IT! I've put up with it for long enough! Your disrespect to Sister shall end today, or my name isn't Boa Marigold!" Yelled Marigold angrily as she grabbed her halberd off the ground and began transforming into her snake form while glaring at Diddy, Sandersonia doing the same.
"How dare you speak to Sister like that when she's in such a state! Death is the only rightful punishment!" Stated Sandersonia angrily as she stared at Diddy with her vertical slit eyes while she and Marigold both towered over him, though he didn't seem the least bit intimidated.
Gazing up at the two sisters, I gave them both bored looks before ignoring them and glancing back down at Hancock, who was busy wiping her tears, causing me to grumble, and before I could do anything, I covered my foot in haki and used tekkai, catching the blade of the fat pig's halberd, before opening my mouth releasing a lightning breath towards bobblehead, scorching her hair that had lunged for me.
"I hadn't given your bobblehead of a sister a warning, but I'd already given you one." Said Diddy as he glanced at Sandersonia, who was sporting an unsightly expression from her burning hair, before glancing at Marigold with a feral grin.
Tightly clutching the halberd blade, stopping her from retracting it, I was about to lunge toward her before running atop her weapon and slicing right through her neck using my nails, but before I could do so, I was forced to lean backward, dodging a kick from Hancock, and causing me to look at her in annoyance; she hadn't attacked me with the intent to harm, I would've noticed it, not to mention the kick was relatively weak, it was merely to divert my attention away from her sister.
"Ha! With Sister helping, you're as good as-" Declared Marigold with a wicked smile, yet before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Hancock.
"Stand down, you two." Ordered Hancock lightly as she gently placed her foot on the deck while staring at Diddy with her puffy red eyes and tear streaks down her face, causing both Marigold and Sandersonia to frown.
"B-But, Sister, he's been speaking disrespectfully about you the entire time; he even dared to ask how many men forced themselves onto you back in Mariejois!" Stated Marigold in slight anger as she clenched her fist and looked at Hancock, her words causing Sandersonia and Hancock to sport an ugly expression before the latter regained her composure.
"I understand, but stand down. He's right about what he said earlier; as an Empress, I shouldn't be showing such a pathetic side to my people. Besides, do you two not remember what you had warned me of not even ten minutes ago?" Replied Hancock solemnly as she shook her head and glanced between Sandersonia, Marigold, and her other crewmates before finally pointing towards the sky, directly at the full moon.
Although it looked like both her sisters were rather reluctant, they at least had some brains, and though I intended to kill the fat pig, I decided to let her live; after all, she was hardly a threat to me, and I didn't feel like going out of my way to kill someone who couldn't even give me a decent fight. However, I did squeeze down on her halberd's blade, causing it to explode into several shards before I finally lowered my foot.
"Hmph, so can we get on with announcing the winner or not?" Asked Diddy with a huff as he folded his arms and eyed Hancock, who bit her lip before eventually nodding.
Sighing in relief, I leaped back to the judge stand, along with the fat pig doing the same, while Mony had been there relaxing the entire time; for the next few minutes, we just sat there waiting, and eventually, the bobblehead sister walked, onto the stage while Freyja, Hancock, and Trenza stood beside each other.
"Alright, everyone, it's the moment we've all been waiting for the winner of the first annual Most Beautiful Woman in the World beauty pageant." Stated Sandersonia with minimal enthusiasm as she pulled out a piece of paper.
"In third place, with a combined total of 99 points over 20 rounds, we've got Trenza Visage, and in second place, with a combined total of 514 points, is Sister." Said Sandersonia as she gestured to Trenza, who sighed in defeat before shifting to Hancock while she held her head high despite getting second place.
"A-And, coming in first place, the winner of the first annual Most Beautiful Woman in the World beauty pageant goes to F-F-Freyja. With a combined total of 577 points over 20 rounds, she takes first place and is crowned the most beautiful woman in the world." Declared Sandersonia with a forced expression as she held her hand out to the smiling Freyja, who was waving out to the cheering crowd.
