Looking around the island, since we were the first to arrive, there were already numerous pirates on the island, with most fighting each other as they tried to eliminate their opponents who were all fighting for the same thing.
"So, what are y'all waiting for? Do you not want the Pirate King's treasure?" Asked Freyja with a faint smirk as she kicked the bridge towards the island, prompting Janet and Trenza to run down it.
"I'm getting it first!" "I don't care who is getting it so long as I get a picture of it!" Stated Trenza and Janet, respectively, as they ran deep into the island side-by-side, fighting any pirate that dared to stand in their way.
"Haha, not if I get it first!" "I won't let you!" Remarked Grand and Chala, respectively, as he dashed through the island, knocking everyone out of his way while she followed right behind him, attempting to slow him down.
"I'll stay to keep an eye on the ship." Said Reiju lightly as she sat at the helm and opened her book while propping her legs on the wheel, prompting Trenza's crew to eagerly disembark from the ship.
"Fufu, don't worry about me, dear; you know I can care for myself." Said Freyja with a chuckle as she glanced at Scar, who wryly smiled before kissing her, yet just as he leaped into the air, she grabbed his foot.
While Scar by his foot, I lifted him and whispered into his ear, only for him to raise an eyebrow before firmly nodding, causing me to chuckle as I chucked him toward the island.
"Fufu, men are so easy." Muttered Freyja with a soft smile as she gazed at Scar, only to side-step to the left, dodging an axe that embedded itself into the ship's railing.
"Hmph, you're one to talk, considering you only know how to get by through flaunting your body." Said Mael with a grunt as he glared at Freyja while removing his axe from the ship, causing her to scoff in annoyance.
"Tsk, that's real rich coming from a former slave; isn't that all you were good for?" Stated Freyja in annoyance as she eyed Mael, who clenched his axe in anger while his body brightly erupted into a being of pure plasma, significantly raising the temperature of the surroundings.
"Why is a pathetic whore, who couldn't even protect her dead family, speaking to me!?" Exclaimed Mael, angry as he raised his axe into the air, only for a pillar of spiraling demonic flames to ascend into the sky.
"You know I don't like it when my past is brought up." Replied Freyja furiously as she glared at Mael while in her Satan Soul form, though he didn't show the slightest fear.
"Hoho, I suppose it's too late to calm you two down?" Asked Sebas lightly as he stood off in the distance, only for his eyes to widen while he crossed his arms, blocking a golden slash and demonic fireball.
"Shut it, you old fool!" "No one wants to listen to your philosophical words!" Stated Mael and Freyja, respectively, as they glanced at Sebas before ignoring him while lunging towards each other.
Swatting Mael's axe away, I coated my fist in haki and punched him in the face, sending him crashing into the island while I quickly followed after him, kicking him toward the ground, though he managed to block the attack with his axe. However, before I could attack again, I was suddenly bombarded by a crushing force from all directions, causing me to grunt as I attempted to resist the powerful pressure.
"I was merely asking a question, yet you two attacked me; such behavior needs to be quickly rectified!" Remarked Sebas in slight anger as he floated towards the island, outstretching his arms while his hands pointed at Freyja.
"Tch, no one fucking cares, you old fart! Just go and die somewhere!" Yelled Mael in anger as he exited from the ground and powerfully slashed at Sebas, launching a powerful arc of scalding plasma that burned everything it touched.
"Tsk, disrespectful little brats!" Muttered Sebas in anger as he was forced to reluctantly release Freyja while he surged his powerful mind toward the incoming attack, destroying it before it could reach him, which left him open for another attack.
"How about you fuckers both shut up!?" Exclaimed Freyja as she violently attacked Sebas and Mael with a slash from her elongated nails while a wall of demonic flames headed toward them.
Unfortunately for me, both Mael and Sebas managed to resist my attacks while shifting their focus to me.
"Heh, what? Are you two going to team up against me like you always do!? C'mon, I'm not frightened of an old man and a former slave!" Declared Freyja fearlessly with a wicked smile as she glared at Sebas and Mael while spreading her wings, causing them to frown.
"Ho, I'll warn you, Freyja, I'm not the same after the battle against the Beast Pirates." "Yes, I've fundamentally changed since then." Remarked Sebas and Mael, respectively, while grinning as they stared at Freyja, who furrowed her brows though she was hardly concerned.
"Hehe, so? It makes no difference; I'll still show you two that I'll always be stronger than you two!" Stated Freyja with a grin as her conqueror haki surged alongside her words, displaying her sheer confidence and power, causing them to frown.
"Tsk, enough talk! I'll cleave you in half!" Yelled Mael with a click of his tongue as he flapped his wings, lunging towards Freyja while leaving behind a trail of plasma.
"The one time I'll agree with him." Muttered Sebas with a shake of his head as he raised his hands to his side while speedily approaching Freyja and Mael, joining the fierce battle, his presence only increasing the intensity of the ferocity.

"Janet, you go ahead; I'll keep him busy!" Stated Trenza solemnly as she swiftly backed away while shooting Buggy the Clown, who barely managed to dodge her attacks
"Okay, got it!" Said Janet with a nod as she turned and ran toward the summit, hoping to find the treasure.
While Janet headed for the summit, I prevented anyone from following after her as I shot Buggy's crew, killing several while a few of the stronger ones were able to block my bullets.
'Tsk, I'm not good at single fights.' Mused Trenza wryly as she shot back, preventing Buggy the Clown's crew from passing her.
"Move, woman! I want that treasure!" Yelled Buggy from the back of the group as he pointed at Trenza, who shot at him, causing him to fearfully leap into the air while the bullet missed.
"G-Get her! Even if her bounty is high, it's just numbers! I'm the Warlord of the Sea!" Added Buggy loudly, his words reinvigorating his crew as they all charged towards her, only for them to collapse onto the ground while grunting in pain.
'Is it just me, or is this a little too easy? I thought I'd struggle, but this is actually kind of easy. Is he not a Warlord of the Sea?' Thought Trenza with a confused expression as she gazed at the numerous pirates before her, yet before she could figure it out, a massive fiery fist engulfed Buggy and his crew.
Watching Buggy and his crew fly through the air, I shifted my focus to the one responsible, only to spot Fire Fist Ace, causing me to wryly smile since I clearly knew my limits, and he surpassed them.
"Y-Yo, long time no see, Ace; h-how's it going?" Asked Trenza with a friendly smile as she waved at Ace while lowering her pistol, causing him to wave back.
"Well, everything's going fine; I have a new crew, and that's about it. How about you, Trenza?" Asked Ace with a slight smile as he rubbed his chin and gazed at the sky before glancing at Trenza, who dismissively waved her hand.
"Oh, you know, same old shit. Though, I'm not surprised to see you here, considering whose treasure it is; trying to acquire your inheritance or something?" Replied Trenza with a light smile as she looked at Ace, who continued approaching with his crew.
"Pops is my father, not him." Said Ace firmly with a shake of his head, prompting Trenza to nod, only for her to furrow her brows.
"Um, c-can you hold on for a second, s-someone is calling me." Said Trenza with an awkward smile as she reached into her nonexistent cleavage, retrieving a transponder snail.
Turning around, I activated the transponder snail and spoke into it.
"Quickly, what is it?" Asked Trenza curiously as she gazed at the transponder snail, who widened his eyes.
"T-Trenza, you won't believe this. I-I've found the treasure!" Stated Janet loudly in excitement as she spoke into the transponder snail, prompting Ace to lean over Trenza's shoulder.
"Oh, really? What's the treasure?" Asked Ace with a raised eyebrow as he gazed at the transponder snail, causing Trenza to groan, but she remained quiet.
"Eh, is that you, Ace? I haven't heard your voice in over two years. Anyways, regarding the treasure, well… It's an Eternal Pose." Replied Janet in surprise as the transponder snail glanced at Ace, who faintly smiled in response, only for their expressions of confusion to adorn his and Trenza's faces.
"Eternal Pose? To where?" Asked Trenza curiously while Ace nodded in agreement, equally curious.
"To the final Island… To Laugh Tale." Stated Janet, her words causing Trenza and Ace's eyes to widen in shock as they silently gazed at each other.
