Chuckling in joy at my eager crew, it didn't take long for us to near the island in the distance, though before we even arrived, I heard loud bells and sirens from all around the port, causing me to smirk as I watched the numerous people surrounding the dock to flee; however, even so, I spotted hardly any means of defense, though I attributed that to the fact Redhaired owned this island, so they must've thought defensive measures were unnecessary.
"Hehe, well, aren't they about to be in a for a rude awakening?" Mused Diddy with a feral grin as he licked his fangs while eyeing the dock in the distance.
"I'm going to get my ship; most of the pirates won't be able to make it to the island otherwise. Haa, including me." Said Trenza lightly as she gazed at every Frenzy Pirate member before sighing to herself while walking down the steps, though hardly anyone paid her any mind.
"Hoho, by the time you dock, nothing will be left." Said Sebas softly with a chuckle as he rubbed his bearded chin while glancing at Trenza, who sighed again.
"Huh, I see my life hasn't changed much since joining this crew." Muttered Reiju lightly as she calmly glanced at the island in the distance, only for her to shrug her shoulders indifferently.
After a few more minutes, we finally entered the range of their cannons, yet it was like paper balls being thrown at us; Pandemonium didn't even react when it hit their body, not even registering the balls of iron that flew over a hundred miles per hour. When we finally got within range, Pandy uncoiled himself from around Mony's shield and lunged forth, plopping his massive snake body onto the island, destroying the dock and any unfortunate building that was too close.
"Hahahaha! ATTACK!" Yelled Diddy with chaotic laughter and a feral grin as he raised Naga-sa into the air, prompting Grand Chala to take the lead while running across Pandy's outstretched body.
"I'm going to win!" "No, I am!" Stated Grand and Chala, respectively, as they quickly reached the town before leaping into separate directions while violently attacking.
With a punch from Grand, which was like a mini version of Galaxy Impact, he razed an entire city-block to the ground before he even landed on the ground; as for Chala, she had thrust her ice spear forward, causing it to embed itself into the ground before rapidly spreading, instantly enveloping the city-block in ice.
With Grand and Chala taking the lead as always, Bullet, Freyja, Mael, Sebas, Reiju, Scar, and Janet all followed after them, causing the initial attacks to seem like nothing but mere appetizers as my crew specialized in destroying; after my actual crew came a bunch of lower level pirates, that I honestly kept question why I even kept them around. There were a few thousand of them, and although our numbers grow, most don't tend to live long, not when we fight all the time; I'm not even referring to our enemies; most of our deaths probably come from infighting if I'm being honest, but that fine by me, if you're not strong, you'll die… It's as simple as that.
"Huh, but there seems to be a few of them that aren't half-bad." Muttered Diddy lightly as his eyes scanned between several Frenzy Officers that caused vast amounts of destruction, causing him to lightly nod.
Shaking my head, I decided to finally make a move as I leaped forward, landing on Pandy as I lowered myself to all fours and speedily dashed across his back before reaching the island in the blink of an eye. Landing on the ground, I continued to dash through the city, ignoring the pillaging, raping, and killing my pirates were doing; my sole focus was the castle at the center of the city where the king of this kingdom must reside.
"Tch, get out of here, Diddy; this is my area!" Stated Freyja in annoyance as she drained men using every hole of hers except her vagina while exhaling a violent wave of demonic flames towards the golden brown blur.
"Tsk, shut it, you annoying cum dumpster!" Yelled Diddy in annoyance as he released a mighty roar with his powerful lungs, dispersing Freyja's attack, causing her to scoff while she promptly ignored him.
Landing back on the ground, I ignored that worthless slut and continued running towards the castle in the distance, and although I did happen to approach some resistance, such as knights and soldiers, it meant nothing to me since I simply plowed right through whatever barricade they had set up while leaving them for my other crew members to handle.
"Kahaha! You've got to get through me if you wish to fight Captain!" Yelled Bullet with a feral grin as he violently landed on the ground, creating a large crater and killing everyone.
Once I reached the castle, I busted through the gate before leaping onto its side, only continuing dashing as I ran up the side of its surface until I eventually reached the top; yanking Redhaired's jolly roger off the flag post, I leaped high into the air while grabbing Naga-sa and coating it lightning.
"Hahahaha, Beastly Thunder!" Stated Diddy loudly with chaotic laughter as he violently attacked the castle, releasing a mighty bolt of lighting as thick as a building that struck the castle, completely vaporizing it from existence.
Twirling in the air, I landed on the ashen ground where the castle previously stood, only to stab the flag pole into the pile of ash while laughing as I watched my crew destroy everything.
"Hehe, fun." Muttered Diddy softly with a faint chuckle as he sat on the ash beside the flag pole that lightly fluttered in the wind.

It's been a little over an hour since we first landed here on the island, yet no, the previous jolly kingdom was nowhere to be seen; as a matter of fact, there wasn't even a kingdom. In order for a kingdom to be considered such, it needs people and a vast number of buildings, though this island had neither; with my crew not holding back, there wasn't a single building that still stood; everything had been turned into rubble that littered every inch of the ground.
"I doubt anyone beats us regarding how efficiently one can destroy a Kingdom." Said Scar lightly with a raised eyebrow as he observed his surroundings, spotting nothing but devastation in every direction, prompting Mael to nod.
"My devil fruit is most suited for destruction." Said Mael with a faint smirk as he glanced at the part of the city he had razed to the ground, where not even ash remained.
"It's actually not; your devil fruit is best used for creation. However, even if I explained it to you, it would be too difficult for you to comprehend. Not just you, anyone for that matter… Well, maybe except for Sebas." Remarked Diddy calmly as he glanced at Mael, who furrowed his brows in confusion, only for him to eventually scoff while Sebas chuckled.
"Hmph, you're a monster when it comes to fighting, but you don't know more about my devil fruit than me, Captain." Stated Mael as he eyed Diddy, who shrugged his shoulders, seemingly unconcerned with his words.
"Suit yourself; I'm not the one with the devil fruit. Anyways, is everyone present?" Asked Diddy as he ignored Mael before standing up and looking at everyone, only to nod with a smile when he spotted everyone.
With every one of some importance present, I raised my hand and looked at Pandy, who lowered his split tongue down to me, where I grabbed the eternal pose to Laugh Tale.
"Yo, Bullet, will this really take us to Laugh Tale?" Asked Diddy curiously as he gazed at Bullet, who nodded with a smirk.
"Some crewmembers had secretly crafted an eternal pose behind Roger's back, though when he found out, he tossed it out to see… He should've destroyed it." Replied Bullet with a toothy grin as he glanced at Diddy, who raised an eyebrow before glancing at Janet.
Laugh Tale wasn't my objective, and it didn't interest me enough to go and find road poneglyphs or whatever they're called, but since I had an eternal pose to the island, I figured we would visit sometime in the future.
"Alright, everyone get in position; I'm only taking this photo once." Ordered Diddy as he tossed the eternal pose into his mouth, firmly holding it with his sharp teeth, causing Bullet's expression to twitch.
Following my words, everyone stood around me; Bullet, Grand, Mael, Scar, and Reiju stood to my left, while Freyja, Sebas, Trenza, Chala, and Janet were to my right. Pandy and Mony are also in the picture but were just in the distance; I was also holding the flag pole with Redhaired's jolly roger.
"Say cheese!" Said Janet with a smile as she looked at her officer, who was taking the picture.
Once the picture was taken, like a swarm of flies, we all distanced ourselves from each other; none of us liked being that close to each other, me included… Except Trenza.
"So, what did you want to say, Captain?" Asked Janet curiously as she brought out a notebook and pen while looking at Diddy, who rubbed his chin.
"Hmm, how about this? 'I've got the key to the One Piece. If you want it, you know where to come and find it!' That sounds good." Replied Diddy with a thoughtful expression as he glanced at Janet, who raised an eyebrow before sighing.
"Haa, I mean, that's not bad, but you're practically declaring war with pirates; after all, the One Piece is the reason 99% of them even set sail in the first place." Remarked Janet as she gazed at Diddy, who simply chuckled in joy with a ferocious smile.
"Hahaha, that's the whole point. First, the Marines and World Government, then the Pirates! Next, I just need the Revolutionary Army." Declared Diddy with a massive grin, causing Janet to sigh while she wrote down his words.
