"Unfortunately, you lot have failed to draw any blood from me, though I never expected it to happen in the first place, especially given the short time frame I had to train you weaklings." Said Diddy lightly as he looked at the numerous minks, all eyeing him with intense hatred and anger.
"However, you've all gotten much stronger compared to before, so you're not a complete disappointment to me; otherwise, I would've killed you all for wasting my valuable time… Not like I've got much to begin with." Added Diddy lightly as he eyed the minks with a feral grin while quietly muttering the last part to himself, only for him to shake his head.
Ridding myself of such thoughts, I leaped into the air while snapping my fingers, causing the dark prison created by my fluffy cloud to dissipate as Nimbus rapidly shrunk back down to its normal appearance while I landed on it.
"W-Were free?" Asked Carrot with an expression of disbelief as she landed within the plaza of Zou while observing the city, only to shift her focus to Diddy in the air.
"I-I thought this day would never come." Muttered Blackback with a teary-eyed expression, using his scarred yet muscular arms to wipe his eyes.
"W-W-WE'RE FREE!" "HAHAHA, FREEDOM!" "MOM!" "DAD!" Yelled the numerous minks as they all leaped and shouted in joy while crying tears of joy, only for a sudden burst of haki to silence them.
"Hehe, don't get so happy now; you've still got to fight the world government. However, for the next 24 hours, make sure you rest and eat; I need you all in your best physical condition for the upcoming war." Declared Diddy with a feral expression as he flexed his conqueror haki throughout Zou, causing every Mink to stare at him, only for them to grit their teeth in anger.
Laughing in amusement at their furious expressions, I simply soared through the sky on Nimbus while refusing to further elaborate; leaving Zou behind, I rapidly descended towards the ocean, where I leaped off Nimbus and landed onto Pandemonium, right beside my hammock.
"Ah, perfect timing, Captain; I was curious if you wanted to have some lovey-dovey time?" Asked Trenza with a lustful smile as she pulled her sundress up, revealing her dripping wet vagina while she leaned against, shaking her butt, seemingly inviting Diddy.
Faintly smirking, I approached Trenza, and just as I was about to stuff her full of my cock, Janet suddenly appeared from around the corner, interrupting our fun time.
"Captain! New bounties! Oh, did I come at a bad time? Actually, I can record it if you want? Grand and I do that all the time." Said Janet lightly as she glanced at Diddy before wryly smiling when she noticed Trenza, only to grab a transponder snail from her satchel.
"Hmm, what's this about new bounties, Janet? We can play later, Mr. Cock." Asked Trenza curiously as she approached Janet while dropping her sun dress, leaving behind a dripping trail of her juices that also ran down her leg.
"Umm, well, about that, actually, most of our bounties are all the same, only Captain's changed. It's also quite special; you two should really see it." Replied Janet lightly as she put the transponder snail away while glancing at Trenza, who raised an eyebrow before grabbing her hand and walking to the lounge.
"Well then, don't stop me. C'mon, Captain." Said Trenza with a faint smile as she left the hammock behind and gestured for Diddy to follow, which he reluctantly did after pulling his pants back up.
Grumbling under my breath, I followed after Trenza and Janet, though I was also slightly curious why the World Government would bother to update my wanted poster; those were essentially worthless now; after all, who the hell in their right mind would dare attack me?
"Zehahaha, you've arrived!" "Worororo, the World Government is desperate!" Said Blackbeard and Kaido, respectively, as they glanced at Diddy while laughing, causing him to roll his eyes.
"So where is Captain's bounty?" Asked Trenza with a faint smile as she skipped through the lounge and approached the wall in the distance where every bounty was hung.
"Right there, quite hard to miss." Replied Scar lightly as he raised his head from underneath the table while pointing at the wall, only to return under the table, right where Freyja was.
"~Ahh~ you've gotten so much ~Ahhh~ better, Scar." Muttered Freyja softly as she snapped her head back while pressing Scar deeper into her crotch, only to squirt her juices into his mouth, which he greedily drank.
Ignoring Freyja and Scar, I walked past them and approached the wall, where Trenza, Sebas, Bullet, Chala, and Reiju were standing, all observing my bounty, which was placed at the top.
"Diddy D. Kong. Dead… Well, that's never going to happen. Reward… 9,999,999,999 Beri's & Celestial Dragon Status; now that's quite something… Does the world Government even have that much cash?" Remarked Reiju softly as she read the bounty aloud, only for her eyes to widen in disbelief, prompting her to glance at Diddy.
"Hoho, Celestial Dragon Status? I might be tempted now." Said Sebas with a chuckle as he looked at Diddy, who merely growled, causing him to raise his arms while backing away.
"Hoho, this old man can't joke now, Captain? Even everyone here present wouldn't be enough to claim that reward." Added Sebas with a faint smile as he glanced at Diddy, who scoffed, averting his eyes to his bounty.
"Hmm, that bounty will cause quite a stir among the Kingdoms; that's probably why they did that." Said Diddy, his words causing Auger and Sebas to nod in agreement, only for Blackbeard to laugh.
"Zehahaha, it already has! That wanted poster isn't new; it was released over a week ago." "Then why the hell am I only learning about it now?" Stated Blackbeard and Diddy, respectively, as the former downed a barrel of alcohol while the latter eyed him in annoyance.
"Hmph, ask Freyja; she's the one who hid it from all of us." Said Mael with a scoff of annoyance as he gestured to Freyja, who was in her world from the pleasure Scar provided her.
"Hmm, I don't really feel like it. Anyways, it makes no difference; There isn't a kingdom worth my time." "Hoho, maybe so, but 170 Kingdoms might be; the combined might of their troops won't amount to a measly 100,000 like the marines; we're talking about millions, tens of millions, Captain." Remarked Diddy and Sebas, respectively, as the former shrugged his shoulders, causing the latter to narrow his eyes.
"Heh, tens of millions? Hehehe, that's nothing. After all, once this is over, I want to have one final war against the entire world… Pirates, Revolutionary Army, whatever remnants remain from the Marines and world government. I want to fight against them all! Do you think a few tens of millions scare me, Sebas? I'll tear through that number in mere minutes." Declared Diddy with a feral expression as he clenched his fists while flexing his muscles in excitement, causing all of the Pandemonium to shake from his sheer strength.
"He's got a point there, Sebas." "Ho, I know; I was mainly referring to our Grandfleet, not Captain." Said Freyja and Sebas, respectively, as the former glanced at the latter, who rubbed his bearded chin while nodding.
"Anyways, this bounty means absolutely nothing; when the world government is destroyed, it'll be nothing but a flimsy piece of paper." Said Diddy with a faint smirk as he grabbed Trenza by his tail, lifting her into the air while exiting the lounge.
Exiting the lounge, I leaped up to my hammock and tossed Trenza onto it, and I didn't even need to open my mouth as she removed her clothes quickly, prompting me to do the same.
"Lay down; I'll be doing the moving." Said Trenza in a sultry voice as she pushed Diddy onto his back while slamming her gushing crotch onto her face, only for her to gobble his cock without hesitation.

"I don't remember them being so scary?" Muttered Janet softly as she kept her distance from the minks, which were radiating a dreadful aura.
"Neither do I. What the hell did Captain do to them?" Asked Scar in slight confusion as he rubbed his head while glancing at Diddy, who leaped off Nimbus.
"Is everyone aboard!?" Exclaimed Diddy loudly as he glanced at Freyja, Blackbeard, and Kaido, only for them to all nod while the two men roared into the sky.
Seeing how everyone was properly on Zunesha, I took a deep breath and squatted down, placing my hand on Zunesha's back as I began to transfer him my vastly abundant vitality since otherwise, I doubted he'd be able to get us to Mariejois.
'However… he might drain me of my life force.' Thought Diddy with a curious yet determined expression as he continued to pump his near-limitless vitality into Zunesha.
As I filled the massive elephant with life force it so desperately needed, changes began to happen; his skin turned smooth, and his limp had vanished, though that was only something Freyja, Kaido, and I happened to notice given our acute senses. Hell, even the vegetation began to look more lively and vibrant.
After several more minutes, I finally stopped as Zunesha could hold no more, though I had to take a moment for myself.
'Heh, he took half of my vitality. No one has ever taken that much, though I'd expect no less from a mountain-sized creature.' Thought Diddy with a faint smirk as he patted his chest before shaking his head.
