Chapter 245: War Begins!
Eyeing the five massive ships that flew the jolly roger of the Whitebeard pirates, I stared at the frontmost ship, and there he was, standing at the bow of the ship with his naginata in hand, Whitebeard, the strongest man alive. As I stared at that man, my fur stood on end while every fiber of my being warned me of certain death if I dared to fight him; my instincts were practically yelling at me to keep my distance from that monster. The sheer strength and power radiating off of me was unimaginable; it even surpassed the three Admirals, although not by much, and the reason for that was because…
"…He's dying." Muttered Diddy with a deep frown as he stared intently at Whitebeard, who stood against the Marines.
"Hmm, what did you say?" Asked Trenza with a raised eyebrow as she glanced at Diddy, who didn't bother to respond and merely smiled, his grin growing larger than ever.
"Hehehe, the strongest man alive; what I wouldn't give to fight him." Said Diddy with a massive, feral grin as he stared at Whitebeard from up above, his body trembling from the sheer excitement he was feeling.
"Hmph, you okay? You look like you're going to cum at this rate." Remarked Freyja with a frown as he folded her arms and eyed Diddy, who simply chuckled while licking his fangs.
"So that's Whitebeard? Even from up here, I can tell he's incredibly powerful." Said Scar with furrowed brows as he intently observed Whitebeard, only for a whitish, glowing, transparent sphere to appear around his left hand.
"He's moving." Stated Mael with an intense gaze as the Marines and pirates alike closely watched Whitebeard.
With Whitebeard finally making a move, he tightly clenched his fist before slamming it against the air, causing large cracks to appear, and while nothing happened immediately, signs of what was about to happen quickly appeared.
"Hehe, I don't care if I die. I'm fighting him!" Declared Diddy with a chaotic chuckle as he gazed out into the ocean, watching as two massive waves surged toward Marineford on either side.
As the two tsunamis headed towards Marineford, they quickly grew in size, eventually reaching a size that dwarfed even Marineford, and just when they were about to crash into it and submerge it into the ocean, the Marines finally made a move. Leaping from his seat, which was at the base of the execution platform, Admiral Aokiji soared high into the sky and outstretched his hand, emitting a massive torrent of frost toward the two tsunamis, promptly freezing them and the surrounding bay in a matter of seconds, causing the temperature to drop rapidly.
"Tch, I don't like the cold." Said Mael with a click of his tongue as wisps of plasma emerged from his body.
Aokiji's action of freezing the tsunamis and the bay gave the marines and pirates surface to conduct their battle, and it didn't take long for them to converge on the ice as they began fighting it out, though all of a sudden, a massive slash erupted from the marines side yet before it could reach Whitebeard, someone managed to stop it by turning their body into a diamond. Following that, Admiral Kuzan fired a familiar beam at Whitebeard, yet a colorful Phoenix suddenly appeared and blocked it as he began fighting Kuzan.
"Who is that man? Such an abundance of life force; I want to gobble him completely." Stated Freyja with a look of desire as she eyed the Phoniex while hungrily licking her lips.
"Hehe, you can have him after I fight him." Remarked Diddy with a grin as he watched the battle play out down below, eager to join.
"So, when shall we join this chaotic battle, Captain?" Asked Sebas curiously as he rubbed his chin while gazing over the edge of Nimbus, watching as one of Whitebeard's ships was destroyed.
"Not now; it's not chaotic enough yet; we've got to wait for the perfect moment; besides, I want to see Akainu's expression when he sees I'm no longer in Impel Down." Replied Diddy with a smirk as he cracked his neck, preparing for the mayhem he was about to unleash on pirates and marines alike.
"That's fine with me; wait as long as you want; I'm getting great pictures from up here." Said Janet with a smile as he took picture after picture, only for a slight gust of wind to suddenly knock her numerous photos over the edge.
"TRENZA!" Added Janet angrily as she looked at her pictures floating through the air before turning and eyeing Trenza, who was blowing on the barrel of Sunaipu.
"Oops." Replied Trenza with a faint smirk as she winked at Janet, only to suddenly move closer towards Diddy, whom she used as a shield to preserve her life.
While waiting for the perfect moment to make our entrance, the war down below was growing more chaotic by the second; numerous people on both sides were dying, with the Marines taking a larger loss, though considering two of three admirals weren't doing anything, it made sense; however, Whitebeard hasn't made a move as of yet either.
"Woah, that person is massive! He even makes the Giants look small; they're like children next to him!" Remarked Grand loudly as he stared at a massive green titan that towered over even the giants.
"Hmm, seems like he's trying to create a gap in the Marines's defense; wonder if he'll succeed." Muttered Sebas lightly as he raised his eyebrow slightly, watching as the green titan lifted a marine battleship like it was a toy.
The green titan made quite a mess and was pretty much unstoppable; not even the giants could do anything to him as he continued to head towards the execution platform, yet, all of a sudden, a paw-like bubble suddenly approached him, and when it touched him he loudly roared, followed by his leg being severed by a sharp string nearly invisible to the naked eye. Yet that wasn't the end as he was pierced through the chest, causing him to collapse onto the ground, though even so, his massive body crushed the third line of defense while his body itself acted as a passageway deeper into Marineford.
"Hoho, well, I've got to hand it to him; he succeeded." Said Sebas with a soft chuckle as he looked at the green titan's unconscious body, only to look at Diddy when he suddenly stood up.
"Look's like we're heading into the fray." Muttered Freyja lightly as she side-glanced Diddy before standing up and slightly stretching.
"Good, it's about time; all this fighting has gotten me thoroughly pumped." Stated Mael with an eager expression as he grabbed his axe off his back and coated it in a thin layer of golden plasma, significantly increasing the heat.
"Heh, I'm raring to go!" Said Grand with a smile as he punched his fists together.
"I suppose that makes two of us." Muttered Scar with a faint smirk as he stood up while removing his coat and hat, tossing them over the edge before rolling up his sleeves.
"Um, d-do we have to? I-It looks pretty dangerous down there?" Asked Trenza nervously as she looked at Diddy, who promptly smacked her with his short tail, causing her to sigh while standing up.
"Janet, you've got nowhere to go, right?" Asked Diddy as he turned and looked at Janet with a large grin, causing her to subtly freeze before she eventually nodded.
"Yeah, I'm sure all my belongings have already been thrown out, and I can't return to the W.E.N.P.; I'm a wanted criminal now." Replied Janet with a nod as she stuffed all of her photos into her cleavage while standing up.
"Hehe, well then, welcome aboard to the Frenzy Pirates." Said Diddy with a feral smirk, causing Janet to freeze before shrugging her showers and smiling as she saluted.
"Happy to be aboard, Captain!" Yelled Janet with a smile, only to mutter something under her breath.
"Now then, let's make our entrance!" Stated Diddy with a smirk as he suddenly grabbed Nimbus before stuffing it into Naga-sa, causing yellow cloud-like emblems to appear while everyone else fell, though they were promptly caught.
Hearing the sound of someone using geppo, I turned around and looked at Scar, only to see he was also kicking the air hard enough to momentarily use it as a platform.
"Hehe, I never taught you geppo, Scar." Said Diddy with a feral smirk as he eyed Scar, who nodded.
"I learned from my fight with Blueno; copying it was hard, and took a long time, but I eventually got the hang of it. Same with soru, shigan, and kami-e." Replied Scar lightly as he pointed at Freyja before suddenly using shigan, stabbing her and creating a bruise on her body.
"Ouch, that's not cool, Scar. I'll punish you later." Muttered Freyja with a slight frown as she rubbed her shoulder while eyeing Scar, only for Diddy to chuckle.
"Hehe, seems I wasn't mistaken about you, Scar. You'll turn into strong prey." Declared Diddy with a feral expression as he licked his fangs, causing Scar to gulp as he fearlessly stood his ground, which only served to improve his mood.
Looking away from Scar, I held my Nimbus-infused Naga-sa and expanded it, watching as it grew to an incredible size, towering over even those frozen tsunamis from earlier and speaking of frozen tsunamis.
"There's Stawhat, you had talked about Janet." Said Diddy lightly as he gazed at a falling battleship, only to see Luffy, along with thousands of prisoners, falling through the sky.
Although they probably should've died, the battleship happened to land in a hole in the ice, followed by everyone else landing atop the ship, including Luffy.
