Leaping off Linlin's sword, I spun in the air above her and slammed her into the ground with Naga-sa, yet only to receive a devastating punch from Blackbeard, causing me to cough blood as I was flung through the air. Quickly regaining my bearings, I nimbly maneuvered through the air, dodging all of Blackbeard's following attacks as I swung Naga-sa at him, launching a powerful bolt of lightning that struck him directly in the chest, knocking him out of the air while all the lightning in the sky surged toward him.
Sensing danger from below, I swiftly hit the air above me, pushing me towards the ground as I swatted away the incoming sword by Linlin, who tried punching me when I got close, but I redirected her punch before violently kicking her in the face, knocking several teeth out of her mouth while also leaving her dazed; however, I couldn't take advantage of this chance as I was forced to leap out of the way, narrowly getting sucked into abyss that covered the ground.
Landing on some random rubble, I clenched my fist and coated it with lightning before punching forward, creating a web of arcing lightning that not only stopped Blackbeard's punch but even managed to overpower his devil fruit, bringing the shaking to a halt.
Yet, I wasn't fighting only one person, and before my lightning could reach him, Linlin sliced it in half only to raise her sword behind her beach, charging a powerful attack.
"Hakoku Sovereignty!" Yelled Linlin loudly with a bloody face as she swung her sword, launching a powerful attack directly at Diddy, who did the same.
"Beastly Incursion!" Stated Diddy with a seemingly permanent large grin as he swung his bo-staff at the incoming attack, smashing right through it.
Just as I smashed through Linlins attack from a black puddle in the ground, Blackbeard emerged from the ground and grabbed my bo-staff, bringing it to an immediate halt, as he raised his fist, coating it a sphere of black and white.
"HEAENS FALL!" Yelled Blackbeard as he clenched his fist before punching Diddy with all his strength, causing the island they were standing on to crack.
The force of his punch rippled through my body, starting from my head all the way to my feet, damaging everything within me, yet I merely tightened my grip on Naga-sa as I refused to take even a step back.
"Hehehe, BEASTLY FIST!" Said Diddy with a ferocious grin as he ignored his grievous injuries and leaned forward, punching Blackbeard in the stomach while an explosion of lightning charred the remaining island behind him.
Pushing my fist deeper into Blackbeard's stomach, I sent him flying far into the distance, causing me to laugh, yet it was interrupted by me aggressively coughing blood as I collapsed to one knee, struggling to remain standing. Feeling my vision turn blurry from my accumulated injuries, I took a second to regain my bearings, yet I wasn't given a chance as my instincts warned me of an incoming attack; fighting through the pain with a smile, I quickly stood up, though I happened to do so too fast as my leg buckled.
"MASER CANNON!" Yelled Linlin as she fired a deadly beam at Diddy, who took the full brunt of her attack, causing him to cough blood again.
Stumbling backward, I nearly collapsed onto the ground, though at the last second, I stopped myself with my tail and raised my head as I eyed Linlin, yet, at this point, making out her figure was growing more difficult. Lowering myself to all fours, I dashed across the ground, leaping from side to side as I evaded numerous sword waves, and once I neared Linlin, I leaped into the air before violently swinging Naga-sa directly into her face.
"BEASTLY EXTICTION!" Yelled Diddy with a bloodthirsty smile as he slammed his bo-staff into Linlins face, causing her to cough blood while she was sent arcing through the air, following Blackbeard's path.
Crash landing on the ground, I rolled onto my side and used this chance of respite to recuperate as much as possible.
"Hehehe… I-I might… A-Actually die." Said Diddy with a feral grin, gasping for breath while his body ached in pain and fatigue.
Unfroutantly, or fortunately for me, the battle wasn't quite over as I heard slow footsteps approaching me, causing me to roll onto my stomach with a painful grunt.
"Zehahahaha, even with the two of us, you're still so dangerous… But it's finally come to an end." Said Blackbeard weakly with a dangerous chuckle as he stared at Diddy, slowly approaching him with his wounded and exhausted body.
"Mamamama, this is where your story ends, Chaos Kong." Remarked Linlin lightly with a furious expression as she snapped her jaw into place while dragging Napoleon through the ground.
"HAHAHAHAHA!! You two talk as if you've won… Can't you see, we're all injured and tired?" Asked Diddy as he erupted into chaotic laughter while struggling to stand up, his body mere moments from collapsing.
The two didn't respond and simply smirked as they readied their weapons, causing me to smile as I raised my hand, summoning Nimbus to me before I enlarged it into the ocean, creating a whirlpool as it began to rapidly absorb the water.
Leaping into the air, I further enlarged Naga-sa as it rapidly shot me into the air, surpassing the clouds in mere moments while continuing even further; only when I started to feel an intense coldness and lightness did I finally stop.
Holding my breath, I looked around, gazing at the moon before shifting my focus to the planet, once again mesmerized at how utterly beautiful it was; though after a few more moments, when I felt Naga-sa reach its limit, I lifted it out the water and raised it above my head.
Inwardly chuckling, I let gravity take control of me, and I was slowly pulled toward Earth; as the moments passed, it got faster and faster until I was a massive ball of flames. Once I finally reentered the breathable atmosphere, I took a deep breath before releasing boisterous laughter while coating Naga-sa in lightning.
"HAHAHAHAHA!! BEASTLY ANNIHILATION!!" Yelled Diddy in pure joy as he fell through the sky, visible from nearly half of the world.

"Wororororo, I can't wait for our rematch!" Said Kaido with an excited grin as he stood atop Onigashma, eyeing the massive ball of flames high in the sky.
"I don't know why, but I feel fear… instinctive fear." Muttered Queen with a deep frown as he stood beside Kaido, though he was far from the only one.
"A-Anyways, Kaido, what should we do with the Kid, Law, and Strawhat pirate members? After their failed raid on Onigashma, should we–" Asked Queen lightly as he glanced at Kaido, who grunted while dismissively waving his hand.
"Whatever, I don't care; that boy may be the fabled Joyboy, but I could care less now; I've got a much stronger opponent." Replied Kaido lightly as he folded his arms, his eyes never leaving Diddy's presence, prompting Queen to nod.

"Kizaru, Fujitora, Ryokugyu. Do you see that?" Asked Akainu solemnly as he stood on his office balcony, speaking to three different transponder snails.
"How could anyone miss it?" "Tch, stupid Monkey!" "No, I do not see it, but even from a distance, I can faintly sense that monstrous haki." Replied Kizaru, Ryokugyu, and Fujitora as they all looked into the sky, watching Diddy's presence illuminate it.
"Should we go?" Asked Fujitora lightly as he shifted his focus back to his transponder snail, causing Akainu to clench the railing, melting right through it.
"No. We've never been successful when it comes to the Frenzy Pirates; if we wish to take them down, we need to prepare for war… One more deadly than the previous one." Replied Akainu with an expression of pure fury while he eyed Diddy from a far distance.
"What!? We can't just let them go–" Said Ryokugyu loudly in anger, yet the transponder snail was promptly cut off.
"Tsk, the Marines… We'll suffer irreversible damage if we fight the Frenzy Pirates, and that's if we win." Muttered Akainu as he ripped the railing out of the balcony before turning around and eyeing Lucci, who was quietly standing behind him.
"Chaos Kong wishes to raid Mariejois. I'm positive the Elders will reinforce the Marines when the time comes." Said Lucci calmly as he stared at Diddy, fear gripping his heart even from such a distance.

"Brothers… Do you see that?" Asked Saturn with a deep frown as he stood on the balcony, eyeing the massive ball of raging flames.
"So he's the one who's been causing so much trouble." "The Marines can't do a single thing correct." Said Mars and Warcury, respectively, as they gazed at Diddy, their frowns all too apparent.
"Should we have the Marines get rid of him?" Asked Peter as he turned and looked at his fellow elders, his words causing Nusjuro to scoff.
"Hmph, as if they could; that beast will be too much for them to handle." Said Nusjuro as he held his sword and glanced at Peter, who nodded.
"Obviously, Nusjuro, but we'd reinforce their army with a portion of our own. Possibly even a few God Knights." Added Saturn lightly as he glanced at Nusjuro, who merely hummed in response.
"In the end, this is all under the assumption that beast survives whoever he's fighting against." Remarked Warcury lightly as he gave one final look before walking away, prompting the remaining elders to do the same.
"Besides, we've got bigger things to deal with." Stated Peter solemnly as he sat down in a nearby chair.
"I'm sure we all sensed it as well… Joyboy's awakening."
