"Tsk fucking bastards; you marines got no sense of honor, do you." Said Scar with a scoff as he blocked Fujitora's blade with his leg, their haki aggressively clashing, only for him to be pushed backward.
"A pirate speaking of honor? That is amusing." Said Fujitora lightly as he slashed at Scar, only for a wave of plasma to intercept his blade.
"Hmph, you Marines talking about justice is even funnier, don't you think?" Stated Mael with a snarl as he violently slashed his golden axe, launching a powerful wave of plasma that burned everything it touched; not even ashes were left behind.
"Justice is whatever the strongest desires, Mael; after living so long on Pandemonium, you should know that. The World Government is the strongest, so they decide what justice is… Of course, until Captain finally makes his move." Remarked Sebas lightly as he outstretched both hands towards Fujitora, restraining his movements and forcing him to block Mael's attack, causing an explosion of plasma to erupt with him at the center.
Landing on the ground beside Mael, I rubbed my injured leg while eyeing Fujirtoa through the dense smoke; ever since Freyja defeated Bullet, the marines moved almost immediately onto the Island and attacked. We've been managing to hold them off for now, but Mael, Father, and I are reaching our limits; Bullet had beaten us twice, and now we're fighting against the Marines.
"Oi, Luffy!" Yelled Ace in slight anger as he punched Kizaru, who responded with a powerful beam of light, blocking his attack, while Sabo attempted to use his hak-clad pipe, though he was too slow.
'Seems they're also having trouble.' Thought Scar with a faint frown as he observed Kizaru fighting Sabo, Ace, and Luffy, only to suddenly leap out of the way.
Glancing at the sword wave travel where I had just been standing, I shifted my eyes at Fujitora, who was sheathing his sword, causing the three of us to furrow our brows.
"Can you still fight, Mael?" Asked Scar curiously as he looked at Mael, who raised his axe while scoffing.
"Hmph, as if I'll be defeated by some blind swordsman." Stated Mael with a grunt as he gave Scar a side glance before lunging towards Fujitora with a flap of his feathery white wings, causing Sebas to chuckle.
Nodding at Father, I leaped into the air and used geppo to propel myself after Mael; he was annoying, but I had to agree with him; I wouldn't want to be defeated by a blind swordsman of all things, not to mention it's three vs one.
'Ugh, I definitely wouldn't want Captain to learn about that; he'd punish us like never before.' Thought Scar with a wry expression as he repeatedly kicked at Fujitora, launching numerous sharp blades of wind at him.

"Captain! Something is wrong with Bepo!" Yelled Penguin loudly as he pushed a marine soldier away while looking at Law, who was facing multiple Vice Admirals, forcing him into a corner.
"Bepo, what's wrong!?" Exlciamed Sachi in concern as he squatted beside Bepo, who was curled into a fetal position while constantly shivering.
"P-Predator. A-An apex predator." Muttered Bepo in terror as he shivered in fear while his dilated pupils glanced at the sky, seemingly eyeing the powerful presence that exuded its aura.
"Huh, predator? What are you talking about, Bepo?" Asked Sachi in confusion as he gently shook Bepo, only for Law to suddenly appear beside him.
"Bepo." Said Law with a slight frown as he gazed deeply at Bepo, only to track his line of sight, prompting him to look up and nervously gulp.
"Heh, I see now." Added Law softly, only for him to lower his head.
"Just hold out for a little longer; he will probably make his move soon." Remarked Law lightly as he turned around before vanishing, his figure reappearing in battle, though now he adorned a carefree expression.

Watching the battle below, I chuckled to myself in amusement; even without my presence, it seemed my crew still spread chaos adequately enough.
"Heh, I've let them enjoy themselves enough. I think it's about time I joined in on the fun." Muttered Diddy with a smirk as he walked off Nimbus while Naga-sa rested on his shoulder.
As I rapidly fell to the damaged Island, I enveloped myself in lightning and punched the air above me, significantly speeding up my descent as I smashed into the ground. While within the crater, I heard the battle happening across the Island come to a screeching halt as they all shifted their focus this way, curiosity marking their expression; however, like any good pirate, I humored them and surged my conquerors haki, spreading it across the entire island while exiting the crater.
"HAHAHAHA! I'm Baaaaaack!" Stated Diddy loudly with a feral grin, his booming voice traveling across all of Delta Island, causing everyone, whether it be pirates, marines, or even World Government spies, to gulp.
"C-Chaos Kong." Said Lucci with an ugly expression as he stared at Diddy while floating in the air near Pandemonium, his quiet voice prompting two vertical slit eyes to stare at him.
Narrowing my eyes at Lucci, I glanced at Pandemonium, who had several gashes across their body, causing me to frown as I shifted my focus back to the one responsible; clicking my tongue, I pushed off the ground, speedily dashing through the air and appearing before Lucci faster than he could even react.
"Do you want to fight?" Asked Diddy curiously as he gazed at Lucci, standing on his shoulder while the pigeon was grasped in hand, mere moments away from being squished to death.
Lucci didn't immediately respond and reached into his coat pocket, grabbing his transponder snail and talking to whoever was on the other side, though I didn't bother listening as I was gazing at the rest of the Island while they intently watched me.
"No. We will be leaving." Stated Lucci softly, without an ounce of emotion, causing Diddy to smirk in amusement while tossing the pigeon into the distance.
"Hehe, smart; the World Government will need all the help they can get when I decide to invade Mariejois." Remarked Diddy with a wicked grin as he eyed Lucci, who stopped moving before glancing at him.
"All that will await is your death." Said Lucci lightly as he ignored Diddy and propelled himself through the air, using geppo to quickly distance himself from the dangerous Mink.
"My death? Hehehehe, even better!" Said Diddy with an excited grin as his heart thumped in joy, the thought of fighting powerful opponents at an all-time given his little adventure.
Ignoring Lucci, I shifted my focus to the Marines, specifically Fujitora and Kizaru, causing my grin to grow as I raised Naga-sa into the air; coating it in armament haki and lightning, I tightly clenched it before powerfully swinging it toward them, launching two mighty attacks directly at them.
"So you've finally shown yourself." "Ho, a little too much if I were to say." Said Fujitora and Kizaru, respectively, as they blocked Diddy's attacks, though they were slightly forced back.
Glancing down at my lack of clothes, I clicked my tongue while attacking Kizaru again, though he deflected it into the ocean.
"Tsk, wait right there, I'll get changed." Said Diddy in annoyance as he approached Pandemonium, entering the fortress atop Mandy's shell.

"What's wrong now?" Asked Akainu in annoyance, puffing smoke while glancing at his transponder snail.
"Chaos Kong has arrived." Said Fujitora softly, his words causing Akainu to clench his fist angrily while biting through his cigar.
"Hmph, what about the Eternal Pose?" Stated Akainu sternly as he narrowed his eyes at the transponder snail on his desk.
"Pandemonium is sturdy and powerful; we couldn't make much progress before his arrival." Replied Fujitora lightly, his words causing Akainu to slam his fist through the desk, nearly smashing the transponder snail.
"We can't let the Frenzy Pirates get their hands on it! Capture it through whatever means possible… If not. Destroy it." Declared Akainu solemnly, causing Fujitora to furrow his brows before nodding.
"Understand, Fleet Admiral." Said Fujitora, his voice going silent as he shut off his transponder snail.

'There, that should be good.' Thought Diddy lightly as he wore his usual attire, only for him to frown deeply, sensing every marine shift their focus towards him.
'No… They're targeting Pandemonium. Why?' Mused Diddy with a frown as he leaped into the air, gazing at the many warships firing in Pandemonium's direction.
Furrowing my brows, I scratched my head in confusion, though after a little bit, I lost interest in why they were attacking Pandemonium.
"Hehe, I just want to have some fun." Muttered Diddy as he infused Nimbus with Naga-sa, prompting it to surge with lightning.
'Beastly Thunder!' Thought Diddy with a feral grin as he powerfully swung his bo-staff at the shore, causing a massive lightning bolt to be flung into the ocean.
Like a violent beast, the lightning emerged from the ocean and wildly attacked everything in its vicinity; one by one, warships that attempted to trap Pandemonium were destroyed.
"Go on, Pandemonium. I'll handle everything else." Ordered Diddy with a ferocious expression as his eyes shifted towards Kizaru, who attempted to stop the fleeing Pandemonium.
Appearing before Kizaru, I outstretched my hand, blocking his light beam just as Pandemonium entered the sea, causing me to smirk as I clutched his wrist.
"Have you grown weak? That barely stung." Asked Diddy with a feral smile as he powerfully clenched Kizaru's hand, preventing him from moving, only for a gravity slash to head right for him.
Raising my foot, I caught the sword wave before breaking into two while throwing Kizaru towards Fujitora.
"Heh, with you two, I can let loose and see how powerful I've grown from my fight with Kaido." Muttered Diddy with a feral grin like no other as he fearlessly stood before two Admirals
