"They're coming." Said Sebas lightly as he stood on the shore of Raijin, opening his eyes and retracting his haki before turning and glancing at Scar, who was standing beside him.
"How long?" "Hmm, two hours, give or take ten minutes." Stated Scar and Sebas, respectively, as they glanced at each other before walking towards the nearby encampment.
"Are they coming or what?" Asked Mael in slight annoyance as he, Chala, Freyja, and Grand raised their heads and glanced at Sebas, who nodded.
"Tsk, finally! Now I can stop playing this stupid game." Added Mael with a grunt as he stood up and burned his cards into nothingness, causing Freyja to scoff in annoyance.
"Hmph, no one was forcing you to play with us fuckface." "Hmph, why the hell did you burn them? You just ruined the game for the rest of us!" Declared Freyja and Chala, respectively, as they glared at Mael, who simply scoffed, uncaring for their words.
"Not my problem." Said Mael calmly as he folded his arms and walked away, only to be encased in a massive glacier, bringing him to a halt.
"I'm about to make it your problem, you sunny bastard! I was about to fucking win!" Stated Chala angrily as she approached Mael while covering herself in armor made entirely of ice, only for the glacier encasing him to melt rapidly.
"Alright, you icy bitch, you want to go!?" Exclaimed Mael in anger as he raised his hand, summoning his golden axe from Pandemonium while his body exuded a tremendous amount of heat, though Chala's armor protected her.
"Hmph, I'll finally take the title of an Apocalyptic Commander from you!" Said Chala with a ferocious grin while her armor took on a glossy black hue, yet before they erupted into battle, powerful haki washed over them.
"Kahaha, are we fighting?" Asked Bullet with a grin as he loosened his collar and glanced between Chala and Mael, who both scoffed at his words.
"Hmph, this doesn't concern you, Bullet." "Yeah, so just watch from the sides." Said Chala and Mael, respectively, as they glanced at Bullet before switching their focus to each other, causing several to sigh.
"Welp, things just got worse." "Haa, c'mon, you two, let's back away before we get caught in their battle." Said Janet and Trenza, respectively, as they and Reiju distanced themselves from the encampment lest they get entangled with the inevitable battle.
"Yeah, we're fighting! I still need to avenge Janet!" Stated Grand solemnly as he stood up and fearlessly eyed Bullet while flexing, causing his shirt to be ripped off his body.
"Kahaha, then come at me, boy! As a matter of fact, why don't all three of you fight me!?" Exclaimed Bullet with a grin as he eagerly eyed Grand, Chala, and Mael, his words further irritating them.
"Tch, didn't you hear them already? They don't want to fight you. So why don't you mind your fucking business." Said Freyja in annoyance, folding her arms and eyeing Bullet, whose grin grew at her words while he promptly ignored Grand.
"Heh, someone still can't accept they lost their position as Vice-captain; why don't you come reclaim it then!? The Frenzy Pirates are ruled by strength, after all!" Declared Bullet with a massive grin as he approached Freyja, who stood up and transformed into Satan's soul while spreading her bat-like wings.
"Fufu, I've been waiting for this chance." Muttered Freyja with a wicked grin as she licked her lips and brandished her elongated nails, causing Bullet to quickly assimilate with every nearby metallic object.
Sensing such turbulent haki, I inwardly grunted and opened my eyes as I stood up, exiting the tent I was in, only to see half of my crew trying to fight each other; such a sight was common and happened nearly every day, while usually, I wouldn't have bothered to interfere, a major battle was about to take place within a few hours.
'Besides, my senses have been warning me of danger since yesterday; I don't know what it is, but I'd prefer if my crew were in peak condition. If they were going to die, it should be from either me or our enemies, not because they were injured from fighting amongst themselves.' Thought Diddy with furrowed brows as he gazed at his crew members, only for him to stomp his foot on the ground while unleashing his haki, causing everyone to shift their focus to him.
"If I can wait another two hours, then so can you all." Stated Diddy solemnly as he glanced at Chala, Mael, Grand, Bullet, and Freyja, though they didn't move.
"Hehe, of course, if you can't wait, I can fight you all." Added Diddy with a feral grin as he eyed his crew while openly provoking them, seemingly desiring one of them to fall for his bait, yet unfortunately for him, they all reluctantly backed down, causing him to click his tongue.
Watching them all backdown, I inwardly grumbled before retracting my haki as I glanced at them all before entering my tent. I was still focusing on making my bones black, and while I've made some progress, it was going slowly; I've only managed to turn a tiny piece of my left femur black, and it's not like I was getting faster at doing so.
However, while I was training, the tent was opened as Trenza entered; opening one of my eyes, I watched her rest her head on my lap, causing me to close my eyes as I continued with my training until Red-haired's fleet arrived.

"Alright, you should be good now, Captain." Said Trenza with a faint smile as she finished sucking the sperm out of Diddy's cock, prompting him to pull his pants up while she cleaned her face.
Tightening my pants, I exited the tent feeling entirely refreshed as I approached the edge of the shore, where the rest of my crew was, only to see Red-haired's ship and his fleet following right behind him. Chuckling to myself, I unholstered Naga-sa and infused it with Nimbus, causing it to cackle with lightning.
"You're going to make a move already?" Asked Scar lightly as he turned and glanced at Diddy, who stepped forward, his feet entering the ocean while raising Naga-sa into the air.
"Hehe, why not?" Replied Diddy with a feral grin as his bo-staff rapidly grew in length until it was partially hidden behind the stormy clouds of Raijin island.
With Naga-sa absorbing all the lightning stored inside the clouds, I waited a few minutes until I felt like it was time to attack, infusing my bo-staff with my own lightning, further increasing the power; I tightly clenched it before slamming it forward.
"Beastly Thunder!" Yelled Diddy with a ferocious smile as he brought down the massive bo-staff toward the ocean while lightning danced across its body.
However, before Naga-sa could even make it halfway, I saw a flash of reddish light coming from the bow of the ship, only for Shanks to be seen speedily lunged towards me through the air, and only when he neared the island did he finally attack with his sword.
"Divine Departure!" Stated Shanks as he slashed his sword at the shore, launching a powerful sword wave coated in his mighty haki.
Seeing Shank's incoming attack, a part of me wished to see if I could tank the attack, and while I was confident I wouldn't die, I would be seriously injured if I took such a powerful attack without blocking. However, I didn't stop my attack; instead, I simply shrunk Naga-sa to its normal size before launching a massive thunderbolt toward the incoming sword wave.
When our attacks collided, there was a massive explosion of lightning that fried the ocean while the clouds above were cleanly split in half, and in the end, it looked as if a natural disaster had just occurred once everything began to settle down.
Chuckling to myself, I pointed my bo-staff towards Shanks before enlarging it, causing it to grow rapidly while he gently landed upon it, only to continue leaping toward us.
"Hoho, helping your own enemy, that's quite rare of you, Captain." Said Sebas with a faint chuckle as he glanced at Shanks soaring through the sky before looking at Diddy, who ignored him.
Watching Shanks land on the ground behind us, we all turned around and glanced at him, though his focus promptly shifted towards Bullet, who laughed.
"It's been some time, Bullet. I see Roger's words didn't manage to get through to you." Said Shanks lightly as he glanced at Bullet, who smirked while approaching him.
"Kahaha, Roger was powerful, but he was wrong about friendship. The strong don't need friends; they only need strength and power!" Remarked Bullet solemnly with a smirk as he clenched his fist, causing Shanks to raise an eyebrow, glancing at Diddy, who had stopped Bullet.
"Hmm, well, if that's how you see it, it's not my job to teach you, though you need to take responsibility for attacking and destroying my territory. I don't take this stuff lightly." Said Shanks with a frown as he narrowed his eyes, coldly gazing at the Frenzy pirates, only for Diddy to chaotically laugh.
"Hahaha, as the Captain, whatever my crew do is my responsibility… So make me take the full brunt!" Stated Diddy with a feral grin as he stomped his foot on the ground before violently swinging Naga-sa at Shanks, who retaliated with a slash of his swords, their weapons clashing, yet only one seemed to be struggling.
Grinning, I further increased my force, sending Shanks flying deeper into the island while I promptly followed after him, eager to fight the killer of observation and see if I could make it my own.
