After making that announcement to the whole world, I headed towards the tallest building, the Empire State Building, and casually sat on it while waiting for something to happen. I know I should be searching for Naga-sa, but I didn't really feel like doing that right now; I had no idea where my bo-staff could be; besides, there were so many scents wafting about through the air of New York, it would be next to impossible even for me to track it with my nose.
"It smells terrible." Muttered Diddy blandly as he glanced at the city down below with a bored expression, only to sigh afterward.
Since I had nothing to do, and I wouldn't be getting any closer to finding my bo-staff by lazing about, I figured I might as well cause some chaos.
'And what better place to cause chaos than in one of the biggest cities in the US?' Mused Diddy with a faint smirk as he stood up before walking off the edge, falling over a hundred stories.
Crashing into the ground, causing a lot of commotion among the citizens, with most thinking I happened to commit suicide, I exited from the crater and dusted my fur off.
"H-He was the one on the TV a few hours ago! I-It's a VILLAIN!!" "AHHHH!! V-VILLAIN!" "E-EVERYONE, RUN!!" Yelled the crowd of civilians as they all dropped their items and distanced themselves from Diddy while loudly screaming, quickly causing mass hysteria and panic
"Heh, it seems I'm becoming pretty well infamous. Good." Remarked Diddy with a smile as he glanced at the fleeing citizens, only to furrow his brows when he spotted two people wearing unique outfits running towards him.
'Who are these people again? I never did get an answer.' Mused Diddy with a curious expression as he stared at the two men, only to shrug his shoulders, his interest waning.
"He's the one who killed Amazo, Bird-woman, and Speedster, so be careful, Style Master!" Stated the man with massive tubes for arms as he dashed alongside a man with an extremely long beard.
"Got-" Said Style Master, though he wasn't able to finish speaking as a bullet hole suddenly appeared between his temples, causing him to collapse onto the ground.
Killing the man with shigan, I shifted my focus to the other man, who came to a halt and raised his arms at me, only for him to shoot cannonballs out of his tube-like arms.
'Huh, weird ability.' Thought Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he casually dodged the cannonballs with ease, only to raise his hand and catch one out of the air.
Giving the white cannonball a close look, I quickly realized it wasn't iron but was actually made of bone, which surprised me, though it didn't really interest me, so I tossed it back to the man, creating a shockwave as the bone cannonball smashed right through his chest, leaving behind a gaping hole.
"There, now no one should interrupt me." Muttered Diddy lightly as he dusted his hands off before approaching the Empire State Building behind him.
Digging my nails into the side of the building, I grasped one of its many steel beams and began to pull, causing the entire building to shake as I slowly started to lift it out of the ground; however, I was eventually forced to stop when the tall lightning rod fell to the ground behind me, crushing several cars and a few unlucky people.
"Tsk, didn't think it would be so easy; it's not designed to withstand its own weight on one steel beam." Said Diddy lightly as he clicked his tongue, only for his arm to take on a deep, blackish hue and extend to the Empire State Building.
Excluding Naga-sa, which was a special case, I'd never used my haki on something so large, but despite that, I had no problem coating all of the Empire State Building in my armament haki, and once I managed to do so, I didn't hesitate and forcefully ripped it out of the ground.
"Huh, lighter than I expected." Said Diddy softly as he stared at the building he kept in the air, only to smirk as he clutched the ground with his feet.
With a mighty swing of the building, I ruthlessly smashed through tens of other skyscrapers, causing wanton destruction while nothing but screams of terror and wails of agony echoed through the streets, only for the sound of a building ripping through the air to follow.
It wasn't as fun as it may seem; killing a bunch of weaklings who had no will to fight never was; it was merely a waste of time for me, though I will say causing such massive destruction was always fun.
"Heh, I'm turning New York into a wasteland." Muttered Diddy with a smirk as he wildly swung the massive building around, destroying everything in his path, unknowingly killing a few heroes in the process.
While I was enjoying myself a little as I let loose in the middle of New York, one of the buildings I was about to destroy suddenly vanished, causing me to raise an eyebrow as I stopped attacking.
'Hmm, it's not gone, it's just been shrunk.' Mused Diddy lightly as he gazed at the tiny building, which was hardly the size of a phone.
Lifting my gaze, I turned and glanced at the man floating in the air while wearing some weird kind of sci-fi helmet, causing me to tilt my head in confusion. However, the man didn't seem to be one to take his time as he threw something at me, causing me to narrow my eyes at the tiny, almost invisible object.
Even with my incredible eyes, I wasn't able to make out what that object specifically was, though when it arrived near me, it rapidly expanded before latching around my neck.
"Oh, a collar." Said Diddy lightly as he glanced at the metal collar on his neck, which suddenly came to life with lightning before violently zapping him.
"Surrender Villain. I will only give one warning!" Stated the man sternly as he stared at Diddy while holding a device in his hand, only to turn the dial higher, prompting even more lightning to attack him.
"I-It's Mr. Molecule! The 9th hero in the US!" "W-Were saved!" "T-Thank you, Mr. Molecule!" Yelled several survivors with teary-eyed expressions as they gazed up in the sky at Mr. Molecule, who simply narrowed his eyes at Diddy.
"Surrender Vill-" Said Mr. Molecule in slight anger as he turned the collar onto full power, only for his words to be cut short when he saw Diddy calmly remove it.
Tossing the collar onto the ground, I rubbed my neck a little before glancing at the man, whose facial expression was hidden behind his mask, though it was easy to tell he was pretty annoyed with me.
"Heh, what idiot would use lightning against me? I may not be completely immune to it like Luffy, but good luck actually hurting me." Remarked Diddy with a smirk while eyeing Mr. Molecule before tossing the Empire State Building toward him like a spear as it cut through the air.
The man had decent reflexes as he was able to shrink the building down to the size of a tablet and catch it, but it didn't matter since he wasn't able to stop me in time. Reaching forward, I grasped the man's neck and pried off his weird-looking helmet, causing him to scream in pain as I stared at his bloody and scared face.
"Huh, no wonder you wore a helmet, you look ugly as fuck." Said Diddy lightly as he gazed at the man, who clenched his teeth and tried to attack him with powers, yet it was futile; nothing he did worked.
Grabbing his arms, I broke both of them, causing him to grunt, yet before I killed him, I stopped myself as I decided to keep him alive. I'm sure he could tell me about this world since it seems like I'll be here for a while.
"You're coming with me." Muttered Diddy lightly as he eyed Mr. Molecule, who was entirely helpless against him.
"…But, before then, let's leave behind a mark." Added Diddy with a smirk as his body danced with lightning while the clear sky was quickly filled with dark clouds.
Summoning Nimbus, I sent it to the sky while it rapidly expanded, integrating into the sea of dark clouds and causing the lightning to grow significantly in intensity.
As I charged up Nimbus with lightning, I spotted numerous first responders heading right toward us while several helicopters followed; however, when the choppers reached our location, the clouds up above were simply a sea of lightning.
"Hehe, Beastly Thunder." Muttered Diddy with a feral grin as he pointed his finger toward the ground, commanding the lightning in the clouds above.
Once the lightning all converged into Nimbus, it let out a massively thick and powerful lightning bolt that struck the ground with such force it cracked for miles; following that, a massive explosion followed suit as the energy held within that lightning bolt was released into the city, causing even more destruction while vaporizing everything in a three-mile radius, leaving behind nothing but a massive crater and ashes that was once a city.
"Now, let's head somewhere private." Said Diddy with a smirk as he glanced at Mr. Molecule's terrified expression before leaping through the sky, using geppo to soar through the air.
