"Answer my question, peasant!" Stated the guard aggressively as he stepped forward, unsheathing his katana and pointing it at Diddy, who yawned before gesturing to Trenza.
"Trenza, you deal with them; I don't feel like wasting my time on a bunch of weaklings." Said Diddy calmly as he began walking towards the guard, prompting Trenza to huff in annoyance while unholstering Sunaipu.
"Haa, I can't believe you, captain, to think you're forcing your pregnant lover to fight on your behalf. What kind of man would do that?" Remarked Trenza playfully as she gave Diddy a pout while tenderly rubbing her bulging belly, which was filled with semen.
"Either you deal with them, or I'm destroying the city." Replied Diddy blandly as he walked past the leading guard, further angering him.
My actions of ignoring the guard to my right thoroughly pissed him off as he promptly attacked me with a slash of his sword, yet before his weapon could even touch my fur, he collapsed onto the ground with a bullet hole right in the middle of his forehead; following his death, the several other guards all unsheathed their swords, but they were to slow as multiple gunshots rang out, causing them to all drop dead while bleeding from their head.
"Heh, at least I know I'll still be a formidable force when pregnant." Muttered Trenza with a faint smirk as she twirled Sunaipu and holstered it before quickly chasing Diddy while the civilians stared at them in terror.
While walking through the city, heading towards the mansion on the hill, I noticed a lot of the civilians seemed to be unreasonably frightened, which did cause me to raise an eyebrow, though I suppose that just goes to show whoever runs this palace in Kaido's stead is quite ruthless.
"Eh, whatever." Muttered Diddy blandly with a shrug of his shoulders while Trenza finished killing yet another group of guards, which became more frequent the closer they neared the mansion.
Once Trenza and I arrived just outside the walls of the mansion after having left a trail of corpses, she shot the guards standing at their posts while I busted open the gate with a simple kick; though shortly after we did that, we heard several loud bells ringing throughout the estate.
"Eh, well, it was only a matter of time until we got spotted." Said Trenza lightly as she reached down and grabbed her secondary pistol, awaiting the arrival of the numerous guards she sensed through her haki.
"Doesn't matter; they're just a bunch of weaklings anyways." Remarked Diddy in slight annoyance as he coated his arm in lighting before punching the air, causing the large group of guards to be burnt to a crisp from the dangerously arcing lightning.
"Yeah, I know; they're just very annoying to deal with." Muttered Trenza lightly as she fired four shots at the approaching guards to her left, killing all twenty of them with immaculate precision.
Most of these guards were very weak and were merely just tedious to deal with, though once we began to actually near the mansion, they did start to get noticeably stronger; in fact, even a few Beast Pirates were guarding the mansion, though, not like it made much of a difference since they were easily taken care of.
"Is something wrong with them, Captain?" Asked Trenza curiously as she glanced at Diddy, who happened to be sniffing a weird-looking corpse of a former Beast Pirate.
"These pirates; they all smell weird. They've got a scent similar to that of a devil fruit user, yet there is a rotten or tainted smell within it." Replied Diddy lightly as he held a weird-looking woman with antlers sticking out of her knees before dropping her to the ground.
"Hmm, do you think it's related to those smile fruits Father mentioned before? I remember him mentioning that they can grant one who eats them the power of a zoan devil fruit, only they come with many risks, like not knowing how the powers will manifest, and if they don't, you'll be cursed with forever smiling or something." Remarked Trenza softly with a thoughtful expression as she placed her hand on her hip and tapped her chin, unintentionally arousing Diddy with her womanly charm.
"Tsk, well, whatever it is, I don't like the smell." Said Diddy lightly as he continued heading towards the mansion, though not without giving into his lust and firmly grasping Trenza's butt, startling her.
"Heh, even after all of that, you're still horny, Captain?" Asked Trenza with a faint smirk as she glanced at Diddy, who didn't bother responding, causing her to chuckle, yet before she could tease him, she was forced to stop walking.
Stopping alongside Trenza, we watched a large sword slash pass right where we were walking, prompting us to glance to our left as we eyed a man with blue hair wearing different shades of blue clothes; while it may have been my imagination, his expression seemed to convey an untold amount of wrath and anger.
"He seems quite angry. Hmm, no, maybe that's his normal expression." Muttered Trenza curiously as she looked at the man, who slowly approached them without breaking eye contact.
"He's decently strong." Said Diddy lightly as he gazed at the man, who was now standing before them, blocking their path to the mansion.
"Breaking into the Shogun's estate and killing his many guards, I must ask you two to surrender yourselves. Though I'd advise allowing me to kill you, it'll be a much quicker and painless death." Said Denjiro calmly as he stared at Diddy and Trenza, who both tilted their heads in confusion.
"Kill me?" "Kill, Captain?" Asked Diddy and Trenza simultaneously as they gazed at Denjiro before glancing at themselves.
"Wano is far too isolated from the rest of the world." Said Trenza softly with a shake of her head, her words causing Denjiro to furrow his brows in confusion while Diddy pressed forward.
"I see, so you've already chosen; I shall respect your decision and make this quick." Said Denjiro lightly as he flicked his blade before lunging towards Diddy, yet, to his surprise, a metallic noise resounded out.
Glancing at the man to my right, I looked down at the blade that was pressed against my neck; he was barely able to cut through my skin, yet it still wasn't enough to draw blood.
"You're the strongest one in this estate, though clearly not that strong." Remarkeed Diddy blandly as he gazed at Denjiro, who was looking at him in surprise.
Clutching the blade, I tightly squeezed, causing it to crack before it eventually broke into several pieces, surprising the man, yet before he could do anything, I grabbed him by the neck and slammed him into the ground, causing him to cough blood profusely.
"I suggest staying down unless you wish to die." Said Trenza lightly as she looked at Denjiro before following Diddy, continuing deeper into the mansion.
'W-Who the hell i-is that!?' Thought Denjiro in shock as he glanced at Diddy while flashes of Kaido overlapped with him.
After that little interaction with that dude, Trenza and I were dealing with the same annoying and useless guards that continued to swarm our location in droves, with seemingly no end to them; if they were actually strong, I would've loved this, but they weren't. By the time we finally reached the foot of the mansion, the doors exploded open while several people who reminded me of Raizo lunged toward us; however, while they were decently fast on their feet, it meant nothing to someone who could see several seconds into the future.
With one bullet for each of them, Trenza easily killed that pathetic group of ninjas, leaving only the man with long ears to remain alive, though before she could kill him, his figure vanished.
"Tsk, what a coward." Muttered Trenza with a click of her tongue as she lowered Sunaipu and entered the mansion alongside Diddy.
"So, we've got to find the Shogun? I think that's what that dude from before called him." Asked Diddy lightly as he rubbed his chin and looked upwards, prompting Trenza to do the same.
'Cowardly, hiding, overweight, terrified, ugly; he looks just like an incompetent leader. That must be him.' Mused Diddy lightly with an amused expression as he wrapped his arm around Trenza's waist before leaping upwards, smashing through multiple floors.
"Ahhhh!!" Yelled Orochi in pure fear as he fell onto his butt while crawling away.
"W-What are you doing!? A-Attack! P-Protect your Shogun!" Order Orochi fearfully as he pointed at the terrified women, with one even being exceptionally beautiful.
"I'll only say this once: leave." Ordered Trenza sternly as she eyed the several women, who all glanced at each other and looked at Orochi before fleeing.
"D-Don't leave!! Cowards!" Yelled Orochi angrily as he tried attacking the fleeing women, yet his hand was promptly shot by Trenza, causing him to recoil while screaming in pain.
Despite Trenza's words, one of the women stayed, and funnily enough, she was safer near me since I didn't have any intention to kill her, not until Freyja saw her.
'Heh, she's definitely comparable to Hancock in terms of beauty; it would really be a shame to kill her.' Mused Diddy with a faint smirk as he gazed at the woman, who fearlessly looked back, only for Trenza to pull his tail.
"Hmph, if you're going to look at other women, can you at least do it when I'm not beside you?" Asked Trenza with a frown as she eyed Diddy, who scoffed while shifting his focus to Orochi.
