Chapter 247: Heavenly Yaksha & Pirate Empress
"So, Pops, they're not much for reinforcements, but that Kong fellow is drawing a good chunk of the marines away from us." Said Marco lightly as he gazed at Diddy, who was ruthlessly carving a path through the marines, killing anywho came along his path; even Vice-admirals weren't enough to stop him; they only merely slowed him down.
"I hate him. His eyes are almost an identical copy of that man's. No, they're even worse. At least he had a goal; all Chaos Kong wants is carnage and chaos." Stated Whitebeard with a deep frown as he stared at Diddy, who was smiling and enjoying the chaotic war.
"Well, I won't deny you, Pops, he's clearly not someone who is on our side given that he's attacking some of our own allies, but still, he's helping us with drawing away some of the marine's attention, not to mention Akainu seems to be smitten with him." Remarked Marco with a nod as he faintly frowned, watching as Diddy attacked a few of their allies, only for him to look up at Akainu, who was glaring at the former.
"Hmph, whatever, leave him be; whether he dies or not is none of our concern." Said Whitebeard with a scoff as he glanced at Diddy before ignoring him and focusing on Ace, who was on the top of the execution platform.
"True, our goal is Ace." Muttered Marco with a nod as he flapped his fiery wings before diving back into the fray, only for Kizaru to intercept him as they began to battle.

Grabbing the head of a Vice admiral, I tightly clenched, digging my nails into his skull before kicking the air above me and slamming him into the ground, causing the surroundings to crack while his body went limp, though he wasn't dead, merely unconscious, and just when I was about to give the final blow, I suddenly fell to the ground, ducking as a pair of scissors sliced where I was previously standing. Pushing off the ground, I kicked the two arms away and eyed the sneaky bastard who tried to attack me from behind, only to raise an eyebrow.
"You're one of the Warlords of the Sea, aren't you?" Muttered Diddy curiously as he glared at the Gecko Moria, who flipped his scissors, trying to split him in half.
"Kishishishishi, I'll receive a large reward for claiming your head, Chaos Kong!" Said Moria with a wicked grin, displaying his shark-like teeth as he tried attacking Diddy once more, yet, with him tightly holding onto his wrists, he wasn't able to move his arms.
"Claim my head? Hehehe, you're too weak for that." Said Diddy with a grin as he dug his toenails into Moria's wrists, causing him to wince before a sickening crunch was heard.
Breaking the man's wrist, I held Naga-sa overhead and violently slammed it down atop his head, causing him to bounce off the icy ground while I leaped in the air before smacking him through the hordes of marines in a random direction.
"Tsk, so much for a Warlord of the Sea." Muttered Diddy with an annoyed expression, only for him to turn around and dive back into the chaotic fray, heading straight for his opponent while killing anyone who got in his way.

"Won't you be my little slave? You'll earn all kinds of amazing rewards, even these kinds." Said Freyja seductively as she whispered into the ear of a Vice-admiral, bewitching him with her charm while she suddenly grasped his stiff crotch.
"C'mon, just say yes, and everything you could dream of will happen." Added Freyja as she blew her hot breath into his ear, causing him to gulp while his eyes began to take on a cloudly look.
Just as I was about to succeed in seducing my target, I was suddenly forced to stop as I raised my arm, blocking a kick, though the might behind that leg still forced me backward.
"Leave." Said Hancock as she gracefully landed on the ground and eyed the Vice-admiral, who nodded before glancing at Freyja with a slightly frightened expression.
Watching my target scurry off, I angrily grunted before shifting my focus and eyeing Hancock, who was staring daggers at me.
"Tch, it seems like you couldn't wait, could you? Want to lose that badly?" Asked Freyja with an annoyed expression as she folded her arms and gazed at Hancock, who merely clicked her tongue.
"Tsk, don't worry, Freyja, I won't kill you, not until I rightfully reclaim my title as the most beautiful; however, I certainly make our every encounter a living hell for you." Declared Hancock firmly as she deeply eyed Freyja, who simply laughed in amusement while she began to transform into her Satan's soul.
"A living hell? Hahaha, every day where I'm alive is a living hell." Remarked Freyja with a wicked laugh as she slicked her hair back while spreading her wings, showcasing her devilish beauty that seemed to transcend what mere mortals should be capable of, causing even Hancock to faintly blush.
"C'mon, let me experience this so-called 'hell' of yours, Hancock." Added Freyjas as she clenched her fists and flexed her muscles before flapping her wings, lunging at Hancock, who grunted and did the same, pushing off the ground with a mighty kick.

Glancing in the distance, I spotted Freyja and Hancock fighting, and unsurprisingly, Freyja was at a disadvantage, but she was still fighting back; as for Sebas and Mael, they were off on their own, causing their own destruction, especially Mael since I'd occasionally see explosions of plasma occur in the distance.
"Fuffuffuffuffu, you've got quite a powerful crew there; I'd ask you to join mine, but I'm not willinging to take in someone like you, you'll cause more harm than good." Said Doflamingo with a faint smirk as he towered over Diddy, who simply chuckled before eyeing him.
"Besides, I can tell you're not someone who would listen to someone's words." Added Doflamingo while squinting, prompting Diddy to grin as he removed Naga-sa from a hole in the ice after letting it absorb a lot of water, causing the surrounding ice to crack beneath him from the absurd weight.
"Hehe, you're quite smart, aren't you? Though, I'm more interested in your strength rather than your intelligence." Remarked Diddy with a feral grin as he pointed his bo-staff at Doflamingo, who faintly chuckled before opening his arms as if welcoming him.
"Fuffu, why don't you come and see then?" Asked Doflamingo with a slight smirk, his words causing Diddy to walk forward, only for him to contort his body, evading pre-placed strings.
Reaching the last string, I used my nail to test how durable and sharp it actually was, and after using some strength I managed to break it, but not before it sliced some of my own nail, causing me to click my tongue.
'Welp, that's good to know; he can slice right through my bones without much difficulty. Hehe, that's how I like it.' Mused Diddy with a slight frown, only to wildly grin as he stared Doflamingo in the face.
"Try harder next time." Muttered Diddy with a feral grin as he suddenly enlarged Naga-sa into Doflamingo's chin, but it suddenly came to a halt thanks to several threads of string, though he was still flung into the air.
Enlarging Naga-sa further, I swung it down at Doflamingo, yet with a slight move of his hand, he was able to dodge it thanks to his strings pulling him to the side, causing me to leap into the air before launching rankyaku at his strings, and after a bit of struggling, it sliced through the first string, but it had lost too much power to do so for the rest of the others.
Clicking my tongue, I used geppo to near my opponent while dodging various strings he laid out in my path, which forced me to slow down just enough for Doflamingo to constantly stay out of my range. Having had enough of this lousy cat-and-mouse chase, I coated my bo-staff in lightning before slamming it atop a string, causing my lightning to arc through the air while following it back to Doflamingo, who was promptly engulfed in lightning.
With him momentarily stunned, I used geppo and soru as I speedily flew through the air while using Naga-sa to break any strings in my path as I violently slammed it into Doflamingo's stomach, flinging him into the distance, though he didn't travel far at all as he promptly stopped himself while the blackish hue that covered his stomach began to recede.
"Tsk, monkey bastard." Said Doflamingo with an unsightly expression as he glared at Diddy, who simply chuckled while his feet took on a blackish hue, signifying his use of armament haki.
"Hehe, you and Freyja would be great friends." Said Diddy with a chuckle as he speedily dashed towards Doflamingo far faster than before, slamming his bo-staff atop him, though blackish strings stopped him.
I tried to overpower Doflamingo, but he was rather powerful in his own right, and now that he started fighting seriously, I was flung backward while several black strings flew through the air directly at me, yet thanks to my observation, haki, which had been slowly improving thanks to the constant fighting, I was able to see into the future more consistently, allowing my dodge each one with ease. Stepping atop the strings, I dashed towards Doflamingo before enlarging Naga-sa and violently swinging towards him while his strings combined to make one larger one, which collided with my bo-staff.
"Hehehe, the fun's only getting started!" Said Diddy with a joyful smile as he eyed the frowning Doflamingo.
