Once I had finished stuffing my face with nearly fifty pounds of food, which should be more than enough energy for my body to heal me through the fight with Kaido, I exited the lounge and leaped onto the roof, watching as Pandy destroyed all the incoming cannon fire with ease.
As the minutes passed, we continued to draw closer to Onigashima, and during that time, my crew slowly converged onto the roof beside me; no one spoke either as everyone was preparing for the battle that was to come, after all, attacking an Emperor of the Sea was incredibly dangerous, though, not a single one of my crew was afraid, this wasn't their first rodeo.
After several more minutes, off in the distance, something began to appear beyond the horizon, yet what we saw wasn't an Island but what looked like a horn; however, as we drew closer to whatever was in the distance, we finally got to see the whole thing,
"A skull?" Muttered Sebas with raised eyebrows as he gazed at the massive skull atop an Island.
"That must be Onigashima, then; Orochi did say they had a massive skull on the island." Remarked Trenza lightly as she gazed at the Island in the distance while cocking the hammer on Sunaipu.
"Still, what kind of creature did that skull belong to? It's so massive. The only thing I could think of is Zunesha, but he's an elephant." Asked Scar curiously as he gazed at Onigashima in the distance while Chala rubbed her hands together.
"I don't know, but it must've been strong, whatever it was! I want to hunt it!" Declared Chala with a feral smile as she gazed at the massive skull in the distance.
"Hmph, good luck with that, Chala, since I'm certain whatever creature that skull belongs to, Captain will fight it first." Said Mael blandly as he glanced at Chala before the two looked at Diddy, who just happened to lick his fangs.
"Tsk, I'll fight him for it." Muttered Chala sternly as she eyed Diddy, who smirked before baring his fangs at her, causing her body to be filled with fear, yet even so, her eager expression said otherwise.
"Hoho, everyone already knows how that'll end." Remarked Sebas with a chuckle as he patted his chest while glancing at Chala, only to shake his head.
"Haha, you won't know until you try, Father!" Stated Grand enthusiastically with a smile as he patted Chala's shoulders, only for Freyja to lightly slap his butt.
"You and Chala have already tried before; actually, as a matter of fact, we've all tried, and as the second strongest one here, I can say confidently that even if we all fought against Diddy, he'd still end up winning." Said Freyja calmly as she folded her arms and looked up at Grand, who didn't seem the least bit discouraged by her words.
"Hey! What the hell was that for Freyja? Aren't you supposed to flirt with Captain!?" Exclaimed Janet with a frown as she narrowed her eyes at Frejya while protectively standing between her and Grand's butt.
"Oh, you're right; silly me." Replied Freyja apologetically as she cutely knocked her head before sitting on Diddy's lap while rubbing her plump butt against his crotch, only for five deadly sharp nails to grasp her neck.
"If we weren't about to fight an Emperor of the Sea, I'd rip your esophagus out." Said Diddy threateningly as he narrowed his eyes at Freyja, digging his nails into her neck while two pistols were suddenly pressed against her temples.
"Freyja, how many times will we need to have this conversation?" Asked Trenza with a dangerous smile as she looked at Freyja, who chuckled in amusement before slowly removing herself from Diddy's lap after absorbing some of his vitality to heal her wounds.
"Oh, don't worry; in due time, you'll come around, Trenza; before you know it, we'll be having a threesome." Said Freyja with a smirk as she winked at Trenza, who suddenly shot at her, though she was able to swat away the haki-clad bullet with her hand easily.
"Hmph, we'll continue this later." Remarked Trenza with a grunt as she eyed Freyja before shifting her focus to Onigashima while Diddy finally stood up.
"Mony, no need to stop; continue onto the Island." Ordered Diddy with a faint smirk as he approached the front of the roof, his words causing Mony to roar lightly.
After a few more minutes, when we finally arrived at the sore of Onigashima, Mony didn't stop and continued straight onto the Island, destroying everything she came into contact with her massive armored body. Only when we arrived before the massive skeleton did Mony finally come to a halt as we all hopped off of her and landed on the ground while all the pirates took the longer way down, though not like any of us had any desire to wait for them since we entered the skeleton?
"Hmm, where is everyone at?" Asked Grand curiously as he walked through the long yet empty corridor, causing Trenza to shake her head.
"Haa, you really need to learn observation haki, Grand." Replied Trenza softly with a sigh, yet her words were met with the glossy haki-clad arm of Grand.
"Nope!" Stated Grand with a grin as he flexed his haki-clad arm, causing Trenza to roll her eyes.
We only had to walk a little bit longer until we exited the corridor and finally entered the skeleton, though we were forced to stop as we witnessed a massive army waiting for us.
"Oh, I-I think I get what you're saying now, Trenza." Muttered Grand awkwardly with a nod as he gazed at the tens of thousands of pirates.
Within the skull on Onigashima, there was a pretty large city, yet it was completely overshadowed by the sheer number of pirates that were littered throughout the city; however, despite how imposing this force looked, they were nothing but cannon fodder, the only pirate's worth mentioning were the eight at the very back and a few here and there.
'Heh, it seems Kaido is waiting for me on the roof.' Mused Diddy with a feral smirk as he took the lead and began walking toward the massive army.
As I approached the pirates, it didn't take long for the closest to fall unconscious, followed by several soon after as I calmly walked through the army.
"Why are they falling unconscious? Captain isn't even using his conquerors, Haki." Asked Trenza with a slight frown as she watched Diddy walk through the army without a single person daring to stand before him.
"Hoho, his haki has improved once again; his mere presence alone causes the weak to faint. I find it hard to fathom there exist beings who can go toe-to-toe with, Captain." Remarked Sebas softly with a faint smile as he glanced at Diddy, who was staring fixedly at the ceiling.
"Captain's haki is monstrous as usual." Muttered Scar with a sigh as he looked at Diddy before shaking his head.
"Hmph, I'll reach Captain's level and then wipe that smirk off Freyja's face." Said Mael firmly as he glanced at Freyja, who merely raised her brow while Sebas nodded.
"Hoho, not a bad idea; I'll do the same." Said Sebas softly with a chuckle as he nodded in agreement while Scar sighed.
"Dream all you like, 'cause it won't ever happen." Remarked Freyja blandly as she glanced at Sebas and Mael before suddenly turning around and walking away, surprising everyone.
"Eh, where are you going, Freyja?" Asked Janet in confusion as she looked at Freyja, who dismissively waved her hand.
"To fight someone stronger, King isn't nearly enough to truly give me a challenge, and I'll never reach Diddy's level of strength unless I challenge myself." Replied Freyja as she blew a kiss at Janet before spreading her wings and flying away, heading off in a different direction.
"I call King!" Yelled Sebas and Mael simultaneously while aggressively staring at each other, only for Scar to step in and push them apart.
"Calm down, you two, and sorry, Father, but Mael said it first." Remarked Scar as he glanced between Mael and Sebas, causing the former to smirk in victory.
"Tch, well, it seems I'm taking Queen then, and I suppose you've got Jack, Scar?" Asked Sebas in slight annoyance as he shifted his focus to Queen in the distance before looking at Scar, who nodded before Chala.
"Yeah, I guess so; if it weren't for Captain's presence, he probably would've beaten Chala." Replied Scar with a nod as he stretched his body while eyeing Jack in the distance, only for ice to freeze and cover the ground.
"Jack… He was… Holding back?" Asked Chala dangerously as she looked at Scar, who opted not to respond, causing her anger to grow.

Having walked through the army without any trouble, I looked up at King, who was aggressively staring at me, causing me to lick my lips as I clenched my fist.
"Hehe, I'll test it out later; I'm saving all my strength for Kaido. Have fun with my crew." Remarked Diddy with a feral smile as he narrowed his eyes at King before leaping into the air, disappearing into one of the many small holes.
"On orders of Kaido, only Chaos Kong will be allowed free passage; kill everyone else." Stated King coldly as he looked at the many pirates down below, his voice echoing off the skull, causing every Beast Pirate to release a mighty roar before charging towards the Frenzy pirates.
"Haha! Here they come!" Stated Grand with a smile as he flexed his muscles, causing his shirt to explode off his body before running head first toward the massive army.
"I'll kill JACK!" Yelled Chala furiously as she lunged into the massive army with nothing but ice claws that she used to slash pirates in half while the rest of the thousands of Frenzy pirates followed their lead.
