Unfortunately for me, in the end, I didn't find anything that interested me; I did happen to come across a dungeon deep within the castle, though, other than imprisoned men, which I could only assume were Linlins sex slaves or something given how they had no pants, I didn't come across anything remotely interesting.
"Here you go, Pandy. Just don't swallow it; I'm pretty sure a few devil fruits are in there." Remarked Diddy lightly as he tossed a massive sack filled with various items at Pandy, who caught it with his tongue, only for him to nervously gulp.
It was around dusk as I had spent a good while searching through the castle, which turned out to be a bust, and I could see all of the previous Big Mom pirates had been integrated into our own crew, and from their expressions, it was pretty obvious they weren't used to such ruthless and brutality amongst our crew. It was extremely common for killings to happen between crew mates; matter of fact, it's more like a daily occurrence, so much so that there have only been three days where not a single crew member has died in the past two years.
'I'm pretty sure that in two of those three days, people ended up barely surviving until the next day. Eh, Janet knows more about this.' Thought Diddy lightly as he thoughtfully tapped his chin while walking towards Pandemonium, only for him to shake his head and shrug his shoulders.
From the looks of things, we would probably be leaving tomorrow, and although there were many other islands within Totto Land, I didn't want to spend days stopping at each island; that was far too tedious for my liking; besides, it doesn't really look like we're lacking in men, we've bolstered our forces by nearly double within just one day.
'Still, I don't think 8,000 men will be much against the Marines, which will have around 100,000 men.' Mused Diddy lightly as he gazed at his unruly crew, only for bone spears to be sent flying through the sky, skewering multiple pirates.
"Tsk, we probably won't even have 8,000 men by the time we get to Marine Ford." Muttered Diddy with a click of his tongue as he shook his head before leaping onto Pandemonium.
"Captain, I've just finished counting our new crew. We've got a little over 8,300 crew mates; our forces have more than doubled!" Remarked Bullet with a grin as he approached Diddy, who raised an eyebrow before shrugging his shoulders.
"Eh, that's not bad, a little more than I expected, but it still won't be enough to fight against the Marines. Not to mention, most of them are just cannon fodder; they're just a waste of space." Stated Diddy lightly as he gestured to the thousands of pirates down below, his words causing Bullet to frown.
"If we wish to go to war with the Marines, we'll need a stronger bunch than this. Well, we'll still attack them, but you get what I'm saying." Added Diddy lightly as he glanced at Bullet before turning around and walking away, only for him to suddenly snap his fingers.
"Actually, I think I know just the place." Stated Bullet with a grin as he looked at Diddy, who curiously glanced at him.
"What place?" Asked Diddy as he eyed Bullet, who simply laughed.
"Kahaha, the home to Dorry, Borgy, and all Giants… Elbaf! That is where we can acquire a great number of powerful warriors." Declared Bullet with a feral grin, his words causing Diddy to faintly smirk while he licked his lips.
"Heh, Elbaf, I've heard Sebas mention it a few times: a place where powerful Giant warriors reside." Muttered Diddy with a smirk as he rubbed his chin, only for Sebas to gently land beside Bullet.
"Hoho, Bullet is correct, Captain, but the warriors on Elbaf won't be so easily persuaded to help us in our war efforts against the Marines." Said Sebas softly with a small smile as he glanced at Diddy, who sported a feral grin.
"Heh, who said we needed them to agree? Doesn't matter whether they want or not. They will help, or I'll wipe that Island off the map." Remarked Diddy with a ferocious expression as he clenched his fist while Sebas chuckled in amusement.
"Hoho, ah yes, I had momentarily forgotten how persuasive you can be, Captain; I doubt they won't agree if you give them such an ultimatum." Said Sebas with a faint chuckle as he glanced at Diddy, who walked off into the distance, leaving him with Bullet, prompting them to discuss their next action plan.
Now that we've seemingly got our next destination, I did nothing but laze around for the remainder of the night; I ate some food, fucked Trenza, and slept… It was a peaceful night. Yet, everything changed when morning arrived, as that's when we finally set sail towards Elbaf, wherever it was; however, before I left, I wanted to leave a message to the world so they understood what it meant to challenge me.

"Is this really necessary?" Asked Freyja lightly as she glanced at Diddy, who chuckled with a nod.
"Yep. I want everyone to know the consequences of daring to challenge me." Replied Diddy as he did a little bit of stretching before unholstering Naga-sa from his back, causing Freyja to snort with a shake of her head.
"Lies, you just want an excuse to let loose." "Hehehe, you know me so well, Trenza." Remarked Freyja and Diddy, respectively, as they glanced at each other, only for the former to grunt while the latter laughed.
Leaping off of Pandemonium, I propelled myself higher and higher into the air, swiftly surpassing the height of clouds, and after a few more moments, only then did I finally come to a halt, coating Naga-sa in lightning and armament haki, I surged my conqueror's haki through my body before focusing it solely around my bo-staff, causing it to emit a constant humming noise from the sheer power my haki radiated.
Once that was done, I positioned myself until I was upside down as I kicked the air above me, propelling me toward Whole Cake Island below; as I dived through the air like a bomb, I smashed through several layers of clouds before exiting on the other side.
'BEASTLY ANNIHILATION!" Yelled Diddy loudly as he tightly clenched his bo-staff before swinging it with all of his strength, causing the world to seemingly scream in pain from the sheer power that cut through the sky.
With a mighty swing, thousands of massive bolts of lights arched off Naga-sa before striking the Island with terrifying force, engulfing the island in continuous explosions that happened every second, but that was only the beginning as soon after, my actual attack slammed into the island right where the castle was, causing am unbelievably massive explosion to erupt. My attack engulfed the entire island while lightning continued to rain down from above, creating an apocalyptic scene that was straight out of hell as my attack destroyed the island.
After multiple seconds, I finally retracted my bo-staff, only to erupt into chaotic laughter as I eyed the island, which had been split into numerous smaller ones while slowly sinking, causing me to grin; just one attack from me was enough to sink an Island.
"Hehe, I won't be satisfied until I completely annihilate the island." Muttered Diddy with a grin as he fell through the sky while gazing at the results of his destruction, only for him to gently land on the ground beside Freyja along with every other Frenzy Pirate.
"Tsk, satisfied now?" Asked Freyja in annoyance as she folded her arm and glanced at Diddy, who chuckled in amusement while holstering Naga-sa onto his back.
"Hehe, for now." Replied Diddy with a grin as he licked his fangs before walking away, causing Freyja to grunt while she rolled his eyes.
"I can't believe I just fucked him." Muttered Trenza softly as she gazed at Whole Cake Island while gulping in sheer amazement, her words causing Grand, Sebas, and Scar to look at her in annoyance.
"I want to breed with him." Said Chala with deep breaths as she stared at Diddy with desire, only for her to snap her head to the right, knocking a bullet away with her horn.
"Ay! He's my mine, Chala!" "Hmph, you can keep him; I just want him to impregnate me several times." Remarked Trenza and Chala, respectively, as they glared at each other, neither willing to retreat.
"Fufu, what about–" Said Freyja with a faint smirk as she approached Trenza and Chala, only for her to be rudely interrupted.
"Shut up, Freyja!" "Tch, only I will get to bear his children! Yelled Trenza and Chala, respectively, as they glared at Freyja, stopping her dead in her tracks while Sebas and Mael laughed.
"Tch, will you two shut the hell up!?" Exclaimed Freyja angrily as she vented her frustrations onto Sebas and Mael, launching a torrent of demonic flames their way, though they were promptly blocked.
"Hoho, I think it's about time I teach you a lesson, young lass." "Tsk, I'll kill you." Stated Sebas and Mael, respectively, as they lunged toward Freyja, who transformed into satan's soul.
"Want to play Go Seaking?" Asked Scar lightly as he glanced at Grand, Reiju, and Janet, who all nodded.
"Haha, I'm going to win this time!" "Eh, doubtful since I'm playing. I've never lost." "Luck will only take you so far." Remarked Grand, Janet, and Reiju, respectively, as they followed Scar, heading towards the lounge to play seaking.
"Kahaha, I'm joining!" Yelled Bullet with a grin as he leaped into the three-way brawl between Seabs, Freyja, and Mael.
