Chapter 404 - Chapter 404: Akainu's Defeat

"What is the report?" Asked Peter lightly as he turned and glanced at Saturn, whose expression relayed enough information without uttering a single word.

"The Marines have been defeated by the combined effort of Diddy D. Kong and Kaido." Replied Saturn with a deep frown as he tightly clenched his cane while narrowing his eyes at the paper in his hand before destroying it with a burst of haki.

"Yes, we already know, Saturn; what about the result of using the ancient weapon?" "I don't think I need to explain what transpired regarding that. Marineford still stands, does it not?" Asked Nusjuro and Saturn, respectively, as they glanced at each other before gazing at the single transponder snail sitting at the center of the table.

"Even if Kong isn't Joyboy, he is proving to follow in his footsteps and is causing us a tremendous amount of problems; at this rate, even when we do eventually defeat him, it will probably leave us vulnerable enough to the point Joyboy could possibly finish us off." Declared Warcury solemnly as he gazed at everyone before shifting his focus to the transponder snail, silently awaiting their response.

"Deal with him… Then Joyboy." Stated Imu in a raspy, inhuman voice, causing the five elders to nod.

"We all heard Lord Imu. Let us quickly deal with Kon and his Frenzy Pirates while also minimizing the damage to our own forces." Stated Mars solemnly as he folded his arms while glancing at his fellow elders, who all nodded in agreement.

"Where will the battle take place?" Asked Peter curiously, his words causing everyone to furrow their brows with a thoughtful expression, only for Imu to speak through the transponder snail.

"Here." Said Imu, their words slightly surprising the elders, only for them to nod in understanding.

"Yes, that makes the most sense, though it'll be unfortunate when rebuilding Mariejois." "the destruction of Mariejois is but a small price we must pay to permanently rid ourselves of this threat." Stated Saturn and Warcury, respectively, as they glanced at each other, only for the former to nod in agreement.

"I will inform the Holy Knights." Said Nusjuro with a nod as he bowed to the transponder snail before turning around and walking away, prompting the remaining elders to do the same.

"... Diddy D. Kong…" Said Imu softly, their voice containing a hint of anger at the mention of Diddy's middle initial.

"H-Haa, I-I wo–" Said Freyja weakly with a small smile as she glanced at the defeated Akainu, only to fall unconscious before she could finish speaking, prompting Scar to suddenly catch her.

"Hot!" Muttered Scar in pain, biting his lip while holding Freyja in his arms, burning his skin as he leaped into the air, propelling himself to the ocean.

"Haa, Scar really is too good for her." Muttered Trenza softly as she stood beside Sebas, glancing at Scar before shaking her head and causing him to chuckle.

"Hoho, personality-wise, I agree with you, but–" "Yeah, you don't need to say it for the umpteenth time, Father. Freyja IS the most beautiful woman in the world. I don't like admitting it, but I'd kill so many people if I could have just a fraction of her beauty." Remarked Sebas and Trenza, respectively, as they glanced at Freyja, only for them to click their tongue.

"I'd help you with that." Said Diddy lightly as he nodded in agreement while approaching Akainu, his words causing Trenza's expression to twitch, prompting her to shoot at him.

"Oi, that's not something YOU of all people should be saying, Captain!" Stated Trenza in annoyance as she repeatedly shot at Diddy, who effortlessly dodged each one.

"Hmph, he speaks nothing but the truth." Remarked Mael with a faint smirk as he glanced at Trenza, who promptly shifted her target to him, though he blocked each bullet with his golden axe.

Approaching the unconscious Akainu, I whistled at how badly Freyja fucked him up; he was barely alive, though I had to admit, he fought with everything he had and nearly managed to beat her, which is honestly impressive considering he doesn't have conquerors haki. As I know just how powerful conqueror's haki is, let alone is, the fact Akainu managed to almost beat Freyja was an impressive feat, in my opinion; his understanding of his devil fruit and the strength of his haki was nothing to scoff at.

'If he had the color of the supreme king, he could probably fight Kaido to a standing still.' Thought Diddy lightly while rubbing his chin as he observed Akainu, only to shake his head while leaning down, touching his chest.

Since Freyja did beat Akainu fair and square, I'd prevent him from dying by transferring some of my vitality, which should keep him alive, at least until she recovers, which shouldn't take long at all, not when I'm walking around with an all you can eat buffet in my pocket.

"Speaking of them… Here you go, Janet." Said Diddy lightly as he tossed Janet the photo containing over thirteen thousand giants, prompting her to grumble under her breath.

"Can you not crumble it into a ball next time?" Muttered Janet in annoyance as she flattened the paper with her thigh while eyeing Diddy.

With Freyja having finally defeated Akainu, the war has officially come to a close, so I figured we would spend about a week recuperating before we made our way toward Mariejois. I would love to go right now, just to cause a bit of chaos, but as the Captain, I have things I need to…

'Wait a fucking second? Why do I have to do any of that? I'm the Captain; I do whatever the hell I want.' Thought Diddy with a ferocious grin as he licked his fangs while eyeing the redline in the far distance, only for someone to suddenly call him.

"So, what do you plan to do now that you've defeated the Marines Kong?" Asked Garp curiously as he raised his head and looked at Diddy, who suddenly stopped before glancing at him.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Asked Diddy in slight confusion as he glanced at Garp, who gestured to the pirates that were ravaging Marineford.

"You're killing, raping, and torturing us, which are all things I expect from pirates; with the Marines having been defeated, you've essentially won the invisible war between Pirates and Marines. So, what do you intend to do now?" Asked Garp in slight anger as he glanced at his fellow Marines before shifting his focus to Diddy, who snapped his fingers before shrugging his shoulders, leaving him speechless.

"I don't know. Though, why do you care?" "Why do I care? Because I'm a Marine." Remarked Diddy and Garp, respectively, as they stared at each other, causing the latter to nod.

"I suppose that makes sense… Well, see ya later. Or not; I don't know what will happen to you guys." Said Diddy lightly as he turned around and dismissively waved his hand, causing Garp's expression to twitch violently.

While ignoring Garp's yelling that faded into the background, I spent my time drinking with Kaido since he'd been pestering me for the last two days as we waited for Freyja to finish her battle.

"Hey, dinosaur, give me a barrel!" Yelled Diddy as he glared at Queen, who quickly nodded before tossing him a barrel of alcohol, causing him to smirk.

Cutting a hole in the barrel with my nails, I poured it directly into my mouth while approaching Kaido, who was sitting back, enjoying the chaotic peace of our pirate crews.

"Worororo, finally decided to join me?" Asked Kaido with a smirk as he glanced at Diddy, who plopped onto the pile of rubble beside him while downing the barrel.

"Yeah, I figured it was about time." Replied Diddy with a faint smirk as he quickly finished the barrel, causing a faint blush to appear on his cheeks while he raised his hand, catching a second barrel thrown his way.

'Hmm, Queen must've modified the recipe; it's stronger than what I remember. Glad to know there is a good-tasting alcohol that actually works on me… Well, at least this once.' Thought Diddy with a faint smirk as he drank from the barrel while glancing at Kaido, who grinned.

"Worororo, to our victory!" "Hehehe, our victory!" Stated Kaido and Diddy with feral grins as they clinked their barrels before taking a large swig while laughing.

Floating atop Nimbus, I glanced at the massive wall before raising my head, looking through the night sky while searching for the top of the redline.

'The fact a Fishman, of all people, climbed such a tall wall is kind of funny.' Thought Diddy with an amused smirk as he leaped off Nimbus while latching himself to the side of the redline, digging his nails deep into the stone.

Pushing off the stone, propelling myself up the side of the wall on all fours, I speedily ascended higher into the sky; though I made sure not to go too fast, I didn't need to break the sound barrier and give away my position.

After nearly a minute of non-stop running, I reached the peak of the red line and shot into the air, giving me an aerial view of Mariejois, and I had to admit, the place was beautiful.

'Hehe, though, only makes me want to destroy it.' Thought Diddy with a feral grin as he eagerly licked his fangs.
