(Note: Pic of Imu is on the Discord)
I had no idea how she was copying the abilities of devil fruits that had already been eaten, but that only made me grin at what that proposed. It would be one thing if she had only used Marco's devil fruit; I don't know whether he is dead or alive, but the fact she used Freyja's devil fruit was a dead giveaway, and if I took a wild guess…
"Hehehe, you can use every devil fruit, can't you?" Asked Diddy with a smile as he narrowed his eyes at Imu, who suddenly frowned before slowly standing up, causing her cape to fall onto her throne.
Getting a better view of her appearance, I couldn't help but whistle in awe; I don't know whether it was because of Freyja's devil fruit or not, but Imu was incredibly beautiful, as well as voluptuous.
'I think I just found the perfect slave.' Thought Diddy with a wicked grin as he licked his lips while watching as Imu slowly removed her crown before bending over and placing it on her throne.
"You're not Joyboy… You're something worse… Joyboy wants freedom, but you… You desire chaos, destruction, death." Remarked Imu softly with an indifferent expression as she approached Diddy while walking down the steps, ignoring the constant trembling.
"Hehehe, it's not my fault destruction and death just so happen to be by-products of Chaos; if you're going to be upset, blame reality. Also, who the hell is this Joyboy everyone keeps mentioning?" Stated Diddy with a faint smirk as he rested his bo-staff on his shoulder while gazing at Imu, only to yawn.
"Ahh, I guess all that fighting got me a little tired." Muttered Diddy lightly as he scratched his fur before raising his head, only to notice Imu had vanished.
Tilting my head in confusion, I carefully observed my surroundings, yet I found nothing, causing me to furrow my brows as I swiftly swung my bo-staff behind me, causing a massive eruption as I blocked a sword that would've sliced me in half; however, I wasn't able to fully block it as I flung towards the throne, where I quickly reoriented myself before landing on it.
"Heh, I see your confidence isn't for naught, though next time, don't take one of the twenty swords surrounding your throne to attack me; I'm very observant." Remarked Diddy with a smirk as he looked at Imu, whose arm was several times her body size and comprised numerous different beasts, creating something akin to a chimera.
"How many devil fruits did you just use to attack me with? Twenty, thirty? I count at least 42 different beasts mixed within your arm, but my instincts tell me you used far more." Asked Diddy curiously as he inspected Imu's arm, only for a massive tail from seemingly nowhere to hit him in the stomach, sending him crashing through several walls.
Digging my feet into the ground, I lowered my bo-staff and stared through the several holes in the wall only to spot two Imu's standing side-by-side, causing me to tilt my, just in time to dodge another sword slash as a third Imu landed a few meters behind me, though this time, she had monstrous legs with who knows how many different Zoan devil fruits mixed together.
Leaping into the air, dodging a punch and a tail swipe from the two other Imu's, I landed on the ground a distance away and watched as the three combined into one.
"I don't know about you, but devil fruits won't be enough to kill me. Seriously, injure, sure, but not kill." Remarked Diddy calmly with a provoking grin as he looked at Immu, who furrowed her brows only for her conqueror's haki to suddenly erupt from her like a violent storm.
"Hahahahahahah, now THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!" Yelled Diddy with a ferocious smile as he fearlessly stood within the mighty storm of Imu's haki that spread throughout all of Mairejois.

"Fufu, I see how easily Diddy was able to make a mockery of you five, but really, the fact you five can heal is pissing me off." Said Freyja with a faint chuckle as she kicked Saturn, snapping one of his eight legs in half, only for it to heal within seconds.
"Worororo, what do you mean Freyja? This is fun! I can let loose without worrying about my opponents!" Remarked Kaido with a grin as he violently swung his kanabo, knocking Mars out of the sky while he coughed blood, yet just as quickly, he returned to full health.
"This wouldn't be so bad if I knew we could defeat them, but this is pointless; besides, it's-Urgh, fucking bitch!- not like we're having an easy time here!" Remarked Freyja with a frown as she raised her arms, blocking Peter's powerful beam, only for Nusjuro to slice open her back, causing her to hiss in pain.
Clicking my tongue, I spread my wings, releasing a powerful burst of demonic flames, hoping it could offset their seemingly infinite healing capabilities, but it seemed my demonic flames had finally met their match; they were still inextinguishable, but the five were simply healing through it and ignoring the pain.
'Tsk, just great; as it stands now, it's only a matter of time until we're defeated.' Thought Freyja in annoyance as she retaliated back, only for a powerful haki to suddenly spread throughout Mariejois, shocking them.
"Diddy? No, that's not Diddy. This feeling is too oppressive and not destructive enough." Muttered Freyja with a raised eyebrow as she looked toward where the haki originated from.
"Lord Imu!" Yelled the five Elders simultaneously as they widened their eyes before quickly bowing, which Kaido and Freyja didn't hesitate to take advantage of.
"Wororo, so this is Imu's strength? No wonder they've controlled the world for so long; their haki is monstrous." Remarked Kaido solemnly with a wry expression as he felt the terrifyingly powerful haki surging through the sky.
I had to agree with Kaido; if this was truly Imu's haki, it was no surprise why the World Government remained undefeated for so long; this level of haki was something only Diddy could compete against.
"Fucking crazy." Muttered Freyja softly as she shook her head while shifting her focus to her opponents.

"Zehahaha, what monstrous haki, whose is it!?" Exclaimed Blackbeard with widened eyes as he snapped his head to the left while beads of sweat rolled down the side of his head.
"Kahahaha, Captain has his work cut out for him!" Stated Bullet with a grin as he knocked away one of the Seraphim while glancing at Blackbeard, who slowly nodded before shaking his head.
"Such powerful haki; I hope Captain can win." Muttered Grand softly in slight concern as he knocked away S-Shark while glancing toward where the haki originated from, only for Chala to land beside him.
"Captain will win, and if he doesn't, I'll kill whoever it is for him!" Declared Chala fearlessly with a bloodthirsty smile, her words causing Grand to open his mouth only to sigh in the end.

"Hoho, so that is Imu? What a terrifying opponent; I'm glad I'm not forced to face her." Said Sebas softly with a faint chuckle as he suppressed several pacifistas with his mind while watching the events unfurl themselves.
"We should aid Chaos Kong." Stated Sabo solemnly as he prepared to leave the building, only for Sebas to stop him.
"Now, if you wish to die, then be my guest, but Captain will not be the slightest bit happy if someone joins this fight… Unless you're fighting against him." Stated Sebas as he narrowed his eyes at Sabo, who furrowed his brows in annoyance.
"Chaos Kong won't be enough. Can't you sense how powerful that haki is?" Stated Lindbergh as he stepped forward while eyeing Sebas, who chuckled in amusement.
"Hoho, I know it's been quite some time, Lindbergh, but Captain has grown tremendously." Remarked Sebas softly with a faint smirk, and as if on cue, a powerful haki of equal magnitude suddenly appeared, shocking everyone once more.

"Hmph, that is my Captain, Garling." Said Mael with a faint grin as he eyed Galring, who was too furious to utter words and just attacked with even greater force.

"C'mon, is this all the fabled CP0 has to offer? First, the Strawhats defeated you, and now I defeat you; what a pitiful life you seven must-have." Said Scar mockingly as he folded his arms and floated in place while his eyes scanned the seven, his words angering Jabra and Kaku, prompting them to lunge at him.
Raising my legs, I blocked their attack before kicking them into the distance, only to extend my arm as I grabbed Blueno, who suddenly exited from a door in mid-air.
"Hmm, you haven't changed much in these last two years." Said Scar lightly as he punched Blueno in the face before tossing him at Kalifa, knocking them onto the ground.
Dusting my hands, I glanced in the direction of where those two monstrous haki's clashed, causing me to smirk as I trusted Captain would win; he's come too far to lose now.

"Bah, stop worrying, Reiju! Captain will win; after all, have you ever seen him lose?" Remarked Trenza with a grin as she slapped Reiju's back confidently, causing her to shake her head.
"No. I've never witnessed Captain lose. Though I've heard of his many losses." Replied Reiju, her words causing Trenza to momentarily freeze before awkwardly coughing.
"Well, it's going to stay that way, so no need to worry." Declared Trenza with a nod as she gave Reiju a thumbs up.
