Drawing near Water 7, Sebas and Trenza insisted Pandemonium hide in their shell since we didn't want to cause a stir, as I'd imagine a sea king swimming off the coast of an island would freak most people out; however, I didn't really care what the people of Water 7 thought, I also didn't care what Pandemonium did either. Drifting toward one of the many piers, we couldn't get too close because, well, Pandemonium is massive, the size of a town, so we just had them float off into the distance while the rest of us landed on the pier using our own method of travel; which was half of us flying, while the half being carried.
'I know this isn't anything special, but this pier is quite sturdy. I suppose it's not called the city of shipwrights for nothing.' Mused Diddy lightly as he looked at the pier beneath him before stomping on it, causing a slight dint while the entire pier faintly shook.
"Heh, Freyja, Sebas, get rid of our current slaves and acquire some new ones from here; they will be much more useful in building our base." Ordered Diddy with a faint smirk as he glanced at Sebas and Freyja, who had landed behind him while the latter, like always, was the center of attention, with numerous men gawking at her lustfully.
"Hoho, great minds think alike. Yeah, yeah, you don't need to tell me; I was already going to do it." Remarked Sebas and Freyja, respectively, as they observed their surroundings while approaching the city, causing everyone in the vicinity to freeze because of a certain succubus.
"Good; anyways, I'm going over there." Said Diddy with a smirk as he pointed in a random direction, prompting Trenza to follow along, only for him to suddenly stop before turning around.
"Hmm, I'm taking you with me instead." Added Diddy as he swiftly appeared beside Freyja, grabbing Scar's shoulder before dashing out of the way just as she tried to attack him.
"Tch, bastard!" Muttered Freyja with a click of her tongue as she watched Diddy vanish into the crowd while carrying Scar with him, only to shake her head and give Trenza a sultry look.
"Hmm, looks, it will be me and you for today, Trenza. I'll make it a day you won't forget, but don't worry, I promise to be gentle." Said Freyja seductively as she appeared beside Trenza, whom her arms wrapped around, causing her to blush.
"C-Captain, h-help." Said Trenza in a whisper as she glanced in the direction Diddy disappeared to while deeply blushing, though no matter how much she hoped, he never appeared.
"Fufu, delicate and pure, just how I like my woman." Remarked Freyja quietly, whispering into Trenza's ear while softly blowing it, causing her to nearly orgasm from that alone.
"Hoho, if Trenza weren't my daughter, I'd love to watch, but alas." Stated Sebas lightly as he watched Freyja dominantly take control of Trenza while leading her deeper into the city, heading in the opposite direction of Diddy and Scar.
"Hmph, why watch? I'm sure she'd let you join." Commented Mael lightly as he folded his arms while looking at Freyja, only to glance at Sebas, who merely chuckled before walking away, causing Mael to huff before shaking his head.

"So, where are we going, Captain?" Asked Scar lightly as he walked beside Diddy while looking around, getting an occasional glance from the numerous citizens, but it wasn't because of his good looks.
"Don't know." Replied Diddy blandly while walking with his hands in his pockets, causing Scar to sigh and nod before opting to stay silent.
While I may not have known where I was going, I knew what I was heading towards, and that was a strong opponent—not for me, no, for Scar; that person was decently stronger than him, at least from what I could tell through my instincts, so it should be a good fight whether he wins or loses.
'Though hopefully, he wins.' Mused Diddy lightly as he closed his eyes, spreading his observation haki, which had grown quite a bit, allowing him to view a larger area than when he first used it.
After a few more minutes of walking, Scar and I had reached our destination, and unsurprisingly, it just so happened to be a bar, though at least this time, from the looks of things, it was a decent bar.
'Why is it always bars? It's always so cliche?' Thought Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he looked up at the bar sign before shrugging his shoulders and entering the bar while Scar followed closely behind.
The inside of the bard was relatively empty, with only a few tables occupied, though the person I was looking for wasn't sitting at any of these tables, not it was the person standing behind the counter currently wiping a glass cup: the Bartender. The instant my eyes met his, I heard his heartbeat subtly speed up for the briefest of seconds before it quickly returned to normal, which caused me to smirk; however, the longer I stared at him, the larger my grin became.
Although his mastery was rather pathetic, the way he was standing, the way he moved his body, and how he walked, I could almost immediately say that he had learned the six rokushiki techniques, which could only mean one thing.
'World Government or Marines. Hehehe, things just got a whole lot more interesting.' Mused Diddy with a feral grin as he licked his fangs while glaring at the Bartender, who did an excellent job hiding his nervousness and fear, though such a thing couldn't escape Diddy's acute senses.
"Hello gentlemen, welcome to my bar, I'm Blueno; how can I serve you two?" Asked Blueno with a faint, friendly smile as he set the glass cup down, looking at Scar and Diddy while the latter chuckled and approached him.
"Scar, you see that man." Remarked Diddy, pointing at Blueno, who raised an eyebrow of confusion while looking at Scar, who slowly nodded.
"You're going to kill him." Added Diddy with a feral grin, his words causing everyone inside the bar to look at him, only to tremble in fear before swiftly exiting the bar.
"C-Chaos Kong!!"
"Um, mind telling me why?" Asked Scar lightly as he unsheathed his dagger, while eyeing the frightened Blueno, who raised his hands into the air.
"Well, for starters, despite being a normal bar tender, he'll be a decently strong opponent for you, number two, he's also learned the six rokosuki techniques, which means he's secretly aligned with the world government or Marines; I'm placing my money on the World Government. Lastly… I don't like how he's hiding himself; only weaklings hide." Remarked Diddy with a smirk, his words causing Blueno to subtly frown while Scar nodded before hardening his expression and tightly holding his dagger, only for it to be yanked out of his hand.
"No dagger; this will be a fight of purely physique and technique." Adde Diddy lightly as he tossed the dagger out of the bar, which ended up lodging itself into someone's thigh, unlucky for them.
"A-Alright." Muttered Scar as he removed his coat and pulled his sleeves up, intently eying Blueno while lowering his stance.
"L-Listen, I-I don't know what's going on; if t-this is a robbery, y-you can have the money!" Stated Blueno in a slightly scared voice while slowly backing away from Scar and Diddy, only for the latter to frown in annoyance.
Lunging forth, faster than Blueno could react, I grabbed his throat and lifted him into the, yet even so; he still continued to act pathetically as if he was just a normal bartender, which was starting to anger me.
"You've got one chance, Blueno; either I'll kill you right now, or you'll fight Scar to the death." Stated Diddy in slight anger as he squeezed Blueno's neck while growling and baring his fangs at him, only for a fist to suddenly hit his face.
"Hehe, good and with those eyes, I'm almost certain you're not a Marine. I can't spot the passion to carry out justice within them." Muttered Diddy with a feral grin as he swatted Blueno's fist out of the way, eyeing his now, cold, calculating eyes, though the fear from before was still partially present.
Chuckling, I tossed Blueno towards Scar, who took a few steps back, allowing Blueno to land perfectly on his feet while intensely eyeing me, though I merely sat down on the bar and glanced between him and Scar.
"Don't look at me like that; you're from the World Government, so you must've heard about what happened when we raided the celestial dragon's ships. I fought evenly against three vice-admirals, and I've only gotten stronger since then. The next time you attack me, I'll decapitate you before you can even blink." Remarked Diddy with a feral grin as he used his predator's aura on Blueno, which had minimal effect, though his words did make him turn around and eye Scar.
"Just know Scar, I'm not helping you, so you better win, otherise you're dying; I'm sure Freyja will be sad when she learns that. Hell, she might even go on a rampage and drain the life force of everyone in Water 7. Hehe, actually, that isn't such a bad idea." Added Diddy calmly as he looked at Scar, who narrowed his eyes before nodding and staring at Blueno.
"Also, last thing, but he's eaten a devil fruit. Good luck. Haha." Stated DIddy lightly before bursting into a bout of laughter, causing Blueno to harden his eyes further, while Scar looked nervous.
