Just to our luck, we were actually relatively close to Sabaody, so it wasn't long before I saw those large green trees and bubbles floating through the sky, causing me to smirk as I sat on the roof of our fortress.
'Heh, I also don't sense Rayleigh anywhere on the island; perfect.' Mused Diddy with a smirk as he stood up and stretched, only to suddenly wrap his tail around Trenza, who had been silently sitting beside him.
"Eh, c-can I get on your back?" Asked Trenza nervously as she looked at Diddy's tail wrapped around her waist, yet he promptly ignored her and leaped into the air.
Flying through the air, I headed straight through Sabaody as I ran through the thick canopy of trees before suddenly stopping as I turned and glanced at Trenza.
"So, where is Shakky's rip-off bar?" Asked Diddy curiously as he looked at Trenza, who grunted before pointing slightly towards the right, causing him to grin.
Kicking the air, I headed in the direction Trenza pointed in, and it wasn't long before I finally found what I was looking for and there it was, a small bar on the top of a tall hill, causing me to smirk as I fell to the ground before gracefully landing right in front of it.
"So, um, what are you about to do, Captain?" Asked Trenza carefully as she glanced at Diddy, who grinned before entering the bar and leaving her outside, causing her to nervously distance herself.
Entering the bar, I spotted a few people sitting down and drinking, but other than that, there was no one of interest, well, except for the woman who seemed to be the manager.
"I-Is t-that?" Asked someone with a fearful expression as he gazed at Diddy, who calmly approached Shakky.
"I suggest everyone leave unless they wish to die." Said Diddy with a smirk as he grabbed Naga-sa before slamming it onto the ground, causing the entire hill to shake.
My words prompted every customer to quickly leave while Shakky and I stared each other down; I could tell she was pretty annoyed with my presence, but she didn't try to attack me.
"You better have a good reason for interrupting my business." Said Shakky with a frown as she lit a cigarette while eyeing Diddy, who bared his fangs.
"Rayleigh pissed me off a week ago, and I've come to learn he manages a bar with his wife on Sabaody." Stated Diddy with a feral smirk as he eyed Shakky while lightning arched off his bo-staff.
"He did? He does have a habit of angering people, so I can see that. So, why did you come here? Were you hoping to get your revenge by harming me?" Asked Shakky lightly as she narrowed her eyes while leaning over the counter and eyeing Diddy, who chuckled and tightly clenched Naga-sa, causing her to frown.
"No, I had no such intention, though after meeting you, I half-a-mind to fight you; you're quite strong." Replied Diddy with a shake of his head, slightly surprising Shakky, who puffed out smoke while raising her eyebrow.
"So then, why did you come here?" Asked Shakky curiously as she looked at Diddy, who grinned before suddenly slamming Naga-sa onto the ground once more, causing all the arching lightning to suddenly disperse.
"To piss him off, of course." Remarked Diddy with a feral grin, his words confusing Shakky, only for her to suddenly widen her eyes while looking at the ceiling before crossing her arms.
Without any sudden warning, Shakky's rip-off bar was suddenly engulfed in a massive lightning bolt that burned and destroyed everything; the lightning persisted for several seconds, ensuring that nothing was left behind. While this was happening, I was in the middle, bathing in the destructive lightning I had summoned from Nimbus; I wasn't immune to lightning attacks like Enel, so it stung pretty bad, but it wouldn't cause any serious injury.
Once the lightning finally faded away, there was nothing left; I had even melted a good chunk of the hill; even if they wanted to build, it would only be on a hill that was roughly half the original height.
"Hehe, give Rayleigh my condolences." Said Diddy with a wicked smile as he looked at Shakky, who was completely fine, her haki having protected her from the ravaging effects of the lightning.
I didn't stay any longer and summoned Nimbus as I sat atop my fluffy cloud and headed towards Trenza, who had ran down the hill; swooping down, I picked her up and sat her on my lap as we flew back to Pandemonium.
"C-Captain, you're fucking crazy! T-Though I kind of find that hot." Remarked Trenza softly as she looked at Diddy before trailing her hand across his soft, golden brown fur, causing something to poke violently against her butt.
"Son of a Bitch." Muttered Shakky lightly as she gazed at what was previously her restaurant, only to glance at Diddy, who was flying away with Trenza.

Arriving back at Pandemonium, I removed my hand from Trenza's pants and landed on the roof, only to see Sebas seemingly trying to speak to Pandy.
"E-Eh, F-Father!" Said Trenza as she quickly fixed her clothes while Diddy holstered Naga-sa onto his back.
"Hoho, I'm assuming you were the cause of the massive lightning bolt, Captain?" Asked Sebas as he glanced at Diddy, who nodded with a chuckle while looking back at Sabaody.
"Hehe, Rayleigh shouldn't have pissed me off." Replied Diddy with a feral smirk as he glanced at Sebas, who froze while his expression stiffened.
"I-I've been meaning to ask, Captain, but you don't know who Rayleigh is, do you?" Asked Sebas softly as he looked at Diddy, who leaped off the roof and landed on the ground while he did the same, only to float downwards.
"A strong opponent." Said Diddy calmly, his words causing Sebas to sigh while rubbing his head before opening his mouth, only for Freyja to suddenly interrupt.
"No point, Sebas; even if you told him, it's not going to change a thing; you saw what he did during the war; he'll treat him the exact same." Remarked Freyja lightly as she glanced at Sebas before shifting her focus towards Scar, who was intensely training, causing her to lustfully lick her lips.
"Haa, yes, you're correct." Muttered Sebas with a nod as he stopped following after Diddy.
Approaching Mony, I infused Nimbus into Naga-sa before enlarging it so I could hit her head, causing her to growl.
"Tsk, stop growling. I didn't even hit you that hard; if that hurt, then you had better get stronger. Anyways, take us to Fishman Island; it should be at the bottom of the ocean underneath the Red Line." Ordered Diddy with a click of his tongue as he folded his arms and eyed Mony, who softly growled before glancing at Pandy.
With my words, Pandy hissed and coiled his long body atop Mony's shell, protecting our fortress while Mony roared before submerging herself under the ocean as she rapidly swam towards the seabed. Since I didn't know how long it would be, I just sat down and spent my time training my haki, though unlike before, I no longer neglected my conquers haki; however, training it proved to be much more difficult than armament or observation haki.
Unsurprisingly, Trenza eventually arrived and sat beside me, though that didn't affect me as I continued to train with my haki, well, at least for a few hours until she poked my arm.
"U-Um, Captain, I know you don't like being interrupted, but do you think you could possibly give me a hint to help me learn observation haki?" Asked Trenza softly as she glanced at Diddy, who growled and slapped her head with his tail.
"Observation haki is merely the extension of your senses; if you wish to learn observation haki, focus on your surroundings without using your normal senses, as if you were trying to rely on a sixth sense." Replied Diddy lightly as he glanced at Trenza, who nodded with a smile before kissing his cheek, causing his tail to twitch.
"Thanks, Captain." Said Trenza as she distanced herself from Diddy before attempting to learn observation haki, leaving him alone to continue his training.
Unfortunately, all good times must come to an end as my peaceful training session was swiftly interrupted by Pandemonium's violent shaking, causing me to frown as I stood and observed what was happening outside.
Using my haki, I saw Mony fighting a giant octopus, and while I would normally allow Pandemonium to handle it, Pandy was currently protecting us, so he couldn't do much.
"Tch, stupid octopus. Freyja, go and deal with it." Said Diddy in annoyance before turning and yelling at Freyja, who grunted in response.
"Yeah, let the devil fruit user fight a sea king thousands of meters under the ocean; fucking genius, Captain." Said Freyja mockingly as her voice resounded throughout the dome made by Pandy's body, causing Diddy to grunt.
"Sebas." Yelled Diddy, his words causing Sebas to chuckle.
"I got it, Captain." Remarked Sebas lightly as he forcefully suppressed the sea king with his mind, allowing Mony to kill it by biting it in half with her powerful jaws.
With the octopus now dead, calmness returned to Pandemonium, causing me to sit back down as I continued training, though I didn't even get two minutes of peace before they started violently shaking again.
"What the fuck is it this time!?" Exclaimed Diddy angrily with a growl as he stood up while lightning arched off his body.
