"Given the large smile plastered on your face, I presume you're the reason why Zunesha nearly fell into the ocean?" Asked Freyja lightly as she folded her arms while eyeing Diddy, who spread his arms and yawned.
Ignoring Freyja, I reached into my pocket and tossed her a red stone while I began stretching, preparing my body for the battle that was about to come.
"What is this?" "Hmm, may I see that, Freyja?" Asked Freyja and Sebas, respectively, as the former gazed at the red stone in curiosity, only for the latter to narrow his eyes in suspicion.
"Is that what I think it is?" Asked Auger with slightly widened eyes as he approached Sebas, his words prompting Shiryu to curiously follow.
"Kahahaha! So you finally succeeded, Captain!?" Exclaimed Bullet as he erupted into laughter while glancing at Diddy, who simply grinned in response.
Summoning Nimbus from my body, I snapped my fingers, causing several red stones of various sizes to spill out from it, creating a pile of rubble right beside me while everyone eyed it in curiosity.
"W-What a fucking madman; you really did, Kong. I-I can't believe it." Said Blackbeard softly with an angry, disbelieving, and shocked expression as he stared at the rubble of red stones before glancing at Diddy, only for Kaido to burst into laughter.
"Wororororororo!" Said Kaido, laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face, confusing the All-stars.
"Huh, what's so f-f-f-f-f—" Asked Queen in confusion as he approached Kaido before glancing at the pile of rubble, causing his eyes to widen while he froze in place from pure shock.
"I thought our Captain was crazy; it seems there is always a taller mountain." Muttered Shiryu softly as he snuffed out his cigar and gazed at Diddy with a wry expression.
"The Road Poneglyph… An indestructible stele pertaining the way to Laugh Tale, yet now, it's lying on the ground in tens of pieces." Said Sebas softly as he looked at the ancient text on the piece of stone in his hands before glancing at Diddy, who chuckled in amusement.
"Hehehe, not so indestructible anymore." Remarked Diddy with a grin as he licked his lips while sitting down, causing everyone's expressions to twitch.
"W-What about the Eternal pose? The one you previously broke was merely a fake; where is the real one?" Asked Blackbeard with hopeful eyes as he looked at Diddy, his words causing everyone to shift their focus to him.
"Worororo, I'm also interested in this eternal pose; with the destruction of one the road poneglyph, sailing to Laugh Tale has become nearly impossible." Said Kaido with a faint smirk as he wiped his face clean of tears while looking at Diddy, who pointed out to see, confusing them.
"YOU TOSSED IT OUT AT SEA!?" Exclaimed Blackbeard in shock as he leaped up from his seat while glaring at Diddy, who raised an eyebrow before shaking his head.
"No. It's inside Pandemonium. Though, now that you mention it, that's not a bad idea." Replied Diddy lightly as he rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression, prompting Blackbeard to quickly rub his feet.
"Oh, kind sir–" Said Blackbeard, though he could barely get three words out before he was kicked in the face, sending him to Freyja, who caught him by the leg.
"If another man or Freyja touches my feet again, I'll toss you to the moon." Stated Diddy with a growl while lightning danced off his body, causing everyone to nod while Kaido simply laughed.
Grunting in annoyance, I took my focus away from my fellow pirates and gazed at the massive wall in the distance; we were only a few minutes away from reaching the red line, and since we were on Zunesha's back, we'd be able to walk right onto the top, invading Mariejois with ease.
'Huh, I wonder if this how Joyboy would've decided to invade Mariejois; it would be pretty smart.' Thought Diddy with a curious gaze, only for him to shrug his shoulders.
"It's time! Get everyone ready to invade, and this time… I'll be leading the charge." Stated Diddy with a feral grin as he glared at his crew, along with Blackbeard and Beast pirates, causing everyone to smile while they all began to prepare for the biggest war to ever grace this world.

"They should be invading today." "Chaos Kong could be lying. He is a pirate, after all, Mars." Said Mars and Saturn, respectively, as they stood atop the balcony of their mansion while gazing throughout Mariejois, which was occupied by a massive army.
"Doubtful. Tonight is a full moon; the Minks can use their sulong transformation." Stated Nusjuro as he gripped the hilt of his sword while intently staring into the distance, seemingly searching for something.
"Any news on the whereabouts of the Revolutionary Army?" "No. Nothing, but it's almost certain they'll use this chance to attack us." Said Peter and Warcurry, respectively, as the latter shook his head before glancing at the former, who nodded.
"This information regarding Chaos Kong… Is it true? If he truly has eaten a devil's fruit, then he is simply walking to his death, along with the rest of his devil fruit user allies." Asked Saturn with a suspicious gaze as he glanced at his fellow Elders, who all nodded, equally suspicious.
"I'm uncertain, though we all heard the Seraphims retell their story of the fight; killing two of them without ever even touching them? No haki. No lightning. No special martial arts or technique. I'm confused about how it could be anything but a devil fruit; only a devil fruit could do something like that." Stated Peter solemnly as he scratched his chin with a thoughtful expression, causing everyone to nod in agreement.
"I'm in agreement with Peter, though the fact we have no evidence of him using it before either means he had only recently eaten it, or he hadn't been forced to use it until recently. I'm more inclined to believe the latter. Chaos Kong has participated in many fights, some of which he lost, so it makes no sense why he would only now showcase his devil fruit abilities." Remarked Nusjuro lightly as he glanced at his fellow elders, prompting Warcurry to open his mouth, yet before he could, a loud howl echoed throughout Mariejois, overpowering everything else.
"Zunesha… They're here." Muttered Mars with a deep frown as he narrowed his eyes out into the distance, eyeing the faint silhouette that appeared within the fog.

Emerging from the fog, I Zunesha came to a stop and slowly positioned himself until he was parallel with the Redline, making it easier for us to invade.
"Drop the bridge!" Yelled Scar, his words prompting several pirates to release a rope, dropping a massive bridge onto the Redline and connecting Zunesha with it.
"Wororo, I haven't been this excited since my battle with Kong." "Zehahaha, with the destruction of the World Government, it'll be easier to achieve my dream!" Stated Kaido and Blackbeard, respectively, as they eagerly laughed while approaching the bridge, their crew of thousands following closely behind.
"Well, I suppose we should do the same; c'mon, follow me, you bastards!" Said Freyja lightly as she walked parallel with Kaido and Blackbeard while the Frenzy Pirates followed behind her.
Landing on the Redline, I moved Nimbus, which was carrying Pandemonium, until it was over the Redline before dropping Pandemonium.
"Roar!" "Hiss!" Said Mony and Pandy, respectively, as they let their presence be known, causing the Frenzy pirates to roar loudly.
Turning around, gazing at Kaido, Blackbeard, and Freyja, I smirked before unholstering Naga-sa and resting it on my shoulder.
"Hehehe, time for our final invasion!" Stated Diddy with a feral grin as he promptly turned around, leading the army of pirates toward Mairejois in the distance.
Although we hadn't arrived, I was about to see everything they had prepared for our invasion with my haki: over two hundred million soldiers, the six marines I had freed, ten Holy Knights, Red-haired Shanks, the Five elders, several pacifistas, and the seven children I had killed back at Marineford.
"Wait, is that? HAHAHAHAHA, it seems I'll finally get my rematch after all!" Muttered Diddy in slight surprise, only for him to chaotically laugh while his body shook in excitement.
Seeing all the powerful opponents, I felt as if I was at an all-you-can-eat buffet, though, unfortunately, for me…
'... It still won't be enough to stop me.' Thought Diddy with a feral grin as he eagerly licked his lips while baring his fangs, his heart beating in pure joy and excitement.
After several minutes of walking, we eventually reached the wall that separated us from Mairejois, and standing on the top of it was the old man who had the sword I planned to give to Zoro.
"Surrender now, Chaos Kong. This is your final warning." Stated Garling sternly as he squinted at Diddy while nine other people, donning the same attire as him, stood beside him.
"Wororororo! What an idiot!" "Zehahahaha, we came this far! Why would we stop now!?" "Fufufu, this old man is a complete fool, though I don't mind draining a fool." Stated Kaido, Blackbeard, and Freyja, respectively, as they glanced at Garling, who gripped his hilt in anger.
"Did you just order me? Hehehe, I don't like being ordered." Muttered Diddy lightly as he gripped his bo-staff, only to suddenly swing it at the wall after coating it haki and lightning.
Destroying the wall and the bubble that separated us from Mariejois, I took the lead and charged into the city with a grin.
"HAHAHAHAHA! ONLY DEATH WILL MEET NAGA-SA!" Yelled Diddy with a ferocious grin as he eyed Garling and the nine other Holy knights, who had now blocked his path.
