Lunging back towards the marine, who seemed to be commanding all of the robots, one of the said robots leaped in front of me and tried to slap me, though I simply twisted my body and evaded his hand by a hair's breadth before slamming into its large body; placing Naga-sa in my mouth, I dug my toe-nails into its metal body and began to shred it to pieces, carving out chunks of metal and electronics, causing the robot to go haywire.
While I was turning this robot into scrap junk, several others tried to attack me from behind, causing me to smirk as I had already seen what they intended to do through my observation haki; piercing my hand into the robot's chest, I clutched its power source before snaking to the back of its body, just in time for the several other robots to bombard it with powerful beams, causing the robot I was latched onto to explode, propelling me forward towards the marine from earlier. However, while moving through the air, I channeled a good amount of lightning into the power source I was holding, causing it to vibrate as it began to glow brightly; chuckling, I tossed the now volatile power source behind me into the groups of robots.
"Hehe, enjoy!" Yelled Diddy with a feral grin as he held Naga-sa in his hand while glancing behind, watching as the power source landed on the ground before erupting into a powerful explosion not even a second later.
Watching as the robots were engulfed in a massive explosion, destroying roughly half of the remaining robots, while the other half continued to destroy ships, which just left me and that marine to ourselves.
"Haha, it's just you and me now!" Yelled Diddy with a chaotic chuckle as he kicked the air, causing him to speedily fly through the air while eyeing the marine in the distance.
"Damn you, Chaos Kong!" Yelled Sentomaru angrily as he lowered his stance while tightly clutching his massive battle axe, which took on a dark black after coating it in haki.
Approaching the marine, I raised my bo-staff before violently slamming it down on his head while he swung his axe at me, causing our two weapons to collide as we struggled to fight for supremacy; however, while I was without a doubt more physically strong, the mans haki was vastly superior, and in the end, I was forced backward after out clash.
Quickly regaining my bearings, I hovered in the air while looking at the man before glancing at Naga-sa in slight confusion.
'Our weapons weren't touching at all during that clash; haki can do that?' Mused Diddy with raised eyebrows as he looked down at his hand, coating it in a layer haki before trying to extend it to Naga-sa, though he couldn't fully succeed in doing so.
"Now, this is interesting; I wonder, how far haki can go?" Muttered Diddy with a feral grin as he tightly clutched Naga-sa while eyeing Sentomaru, though his eyes suddenly widened just when he was about to engage in battle.
"FUCKER!!" Yelled Diddy furiously as he eyed Whitebeard, who had been stabbed through the torso.

"POPS!!" Yelled Marco angrily as he swiftly flew back towards Whitebeard, only for Kizaru to intervene, forcing him backward.
"Squard? Why?" Asked Whitebeard softly with a slight frown as he glanced down at Squard, who had stabbed him in the abdomen with a massive sword.
"I-I had learned the truth! You never intended to go to war in the first place! You made a deal with the Marines for Ace; you intended to sacrifice all of your allies for his safety! Just… Just so you can make him the Pirate King!!" Yelled Squard loudly with bloodshot eyes of fury as he glared at Whitebeard while his voice echoed throughout the battlefield, causing every subordinate crew and allied crew to widen their eyes in disbelief.
"Y-YOU knew Ace was the son of the Gol D. Roger the whole time! H-How could you!?" Added Squard furiously while tightly clutching the hilt, digging even deeper into Whitebeard, who merely frowned.
"W-What!? T-That can't be true! P-Pops, he'd never do such a thing, right? N-No, I don't believe it, S-Squard, he must be lying.
"Hmm, I see, Squard, if that is what you believe." Muttered Whitebeard with a slight nod as he looked down at Squard, who leaped off his body while removing the sword from his abdomen.
However, before either Squard or Whitebeard speak, the will of a conqueror enveloped the battlefield, causing those with weak wills to faint, collapsing onto the ground while all eyes were shifted to the origin of the haki, only for them to see a furious golden brown mink speedily flying through the air toward the Moby Dick.
"FUCKER! HOW DARE YOU HARM MY PREY!" Yelled Diddy loudly with a furious expression as he glared intensely at Squard with his vertical slit eyes.

___
Enlarging Naga-sa until it was the size of the very ship itself, I violently slammed it down atop Squard's head, intending to kill this fucking bastard for daring to harm my prey; however, before it could reach him, Whitebeard blocked my attack with his naginata, causing me to frown as I eyed him.
"Do not harm my children!" Stated Whitebeard sternly as he effortlessly stopped Diddy's attack while eyeing him, only to fling him away.
Clicking my tongue, I was about to lunge back toward Squard, yet before I could, I was forced to quickly leap far away, barely managing to dodge a wave of blazing hot bluish fire while the one responsible for the attack speedily flew towards Whitebeard before grabbing Squard by the head and slamming him into the ship. It only got worse when Whitebeard was forced onto one knee as his facade of strength was destroyed, causing everyone to see him weakened, which wasn't a good sight for the so-called strongest man.
"Tsk, mother fucking bitch, I'm going to kill him." Muttered Diddy as he glared at Squard angrily while hovering in the air, waiting for Whitebeard to regain his composure.
After some forgiveness bullshit between Squard and Whitebeard, something along the lines of being a father and son, whatever that means, as I was too annoyed to listen, not like I cared all that much to begin with, I simply wanted to fight Whitebeard, and that's it, everything else is merely a distraction.
Watching as Whitebeard slammed his hands into the air, causing large cracks to form as the frozen tsunamis surrounding the bay were destroyed, giving everyone a chance to retreat, which served to reinvigorate the Whitebeard pirates as everything that Squard had said had simply been a lie, and Whitebeard hadn't made some stupid little deal with the marines.
"Tch, marine bastards, interfering with my fun." Muttered Diddy angrily as he turned around and eyed Sengoku, who was glaring at Whitebeard, only for him to suddenly notice Akainu had returned to his seat.
'My instincts tell me he had something to do with this.' Mused Diddy with a scowl as he eyed Akainu, only to glance down at the battlefield.
With the truth having been revealed, everyone was fighting with even more vigor, and they were gaining ground on the Marines even faster than before, while Squard himself jumped into the fray, ruthlessly killing every marine he encountered.
'I'll kill him after I had my fun with Whitebeard.' Thought Diddy with a glare as he eyed Squard before shifting his focus to Whitebeard.
Seeing Whitebeard standing on his own two feet, I grinned and channeled the ferocious power coursing through my veins as I transformed into my sulong form, causing sparks of lightning to dance around my silverish fur.
"Hehe, this better be fun!" Said Diddy as he flexed his muscles before kicking the air, speedily flying toward the Moby Dick

___
"Hoo, you're right, to think he can transform into a Sulong at will, now that's dangerous." Said Kizaru lightly as he glanced at Akainu before looking at Diddy, who was charging towards Whitebeard.
"Tch." Muttered Akainu angrily as he folded his arms while intently eyeing Diddy.
"So, still no word from Impel Down?" Asked Aokiji lightly as he glanced between Akainu and Kizaru, who shook his head while the former ignored him.
"Alrighty then, forget I even asked."

Landing atop the ship while standing right in front of Whitebeard, causing the entire ship to tilt forward before returning to normal, I noted that even in my Sulong form, I was only up to his abdomen, allowing me to perfectly see the stab wound.
"Hehe, for being the Strongest Man in the World, you seem pretty easy to injure. You don't mind if I take that title for myself, do you?" Remarked Diddy with a feral grin and a chaotic chuckle as he raised Naga-sa into the air before slamming it down atop Whitebeard, not even waiting for him to respond.
"You're not ready for this level, brat." Said Whitebeard with a dangerous look as he eyed Diddy before outstretching his hand and tightly grasping Naga-sa.
Before I could even respond, Whitebeard raised his other arm into the air while a white, translucent sphere surrounded his hand, and although I should've backed away or attempted to dodge the attack, I wanted to vividly experience an attack from the Strongest Man in the world. So, doing the same, I let go of Naga-sa and coated my hand in haki as I flexed my arm, filling it with every ounce of strength I could muster while using every single technique I knew would help me in this situation and to top it all off, I covered my arm in lightning.
'BEASTLY CARNAGE!' Thought Diddy as he slammed his foot down before punching Whitebeard while using everything in his arsenal.
The instant our fists connected, I felt an unbelievable amount of power behind his attack, and I was only able to hold on for at most a second before my arm snapped under the extreme weight; following that, his fist landed atop my chest, breaking nearly every bone in my body while my organs ruptured on after another. If I hadn't reabsorbed Nimbus into my body right when my arm snapped and wrapped it around my heart and brain, protecting them, I'm confident I would've died right here.
'Such strength.' Thought Diddy as he eyed Whitebeard with bloodshot eyes before he was sent crashing into the battlefield below, slamming into the ground and causing a massive crater in the process.
