Chapter 258: Threat Of Akainu!
"PANDEMONIUM!!" Yelled Diddy with a roar, his voice echoing throughout the entire bay, causing Akainu to suddenly frown before narrowing his eyes towards the frozen ground.
With my yell, I looked at Akainu with a grin, and although nothing immediately happened, given his expression, he must've seen what was going to happen in the future, and not even five seconds later, the bay started to shake as the ground was suddenly busted open from below as Pandemonium burst through the frozen bay with a mighty roar that caused the ground to tremble.
Immediately after they finished roaring, Mony opened her mouth and blasted a highly pressured jet stream of water toward Akainu, who created a wall of magma to protect himself, leaving Pandy to spray his toxic venom onto the marines, covering them in a pungent greenish liquid, causing the cannon fodder to began dropping like flies.
"Hehehe, c'mon create your fair share of chaos, Pandemonium!" Stated Diddy loudly with a grin as he glanced at Pandemonium, who suddenly switched their targets.
With Pandy and Mony changing targets, she once again swallowed a massive amount of ocean water before blasting into the crowd, targeting the ones Pandy didn't manage to poison, killing hundreds while Pandy, instead of directly attacking Akainu, sprayed his poison in a circle surrounding him; his venom quickly melting right through the ice and nearly plunging Akainu into the ocean, which would've deprived him of most of his strength. However, he definitely foresaw such a thing with his haki and leaped out of the way before Pandy's plan could come to fruition.
"Oi, is that a fucking sea king?" "What the hell? I didn't know we had a freaking sea king on our side!" "Pops should've called them in earlier if that's the case." "No, they're not on our side; the one who called them in was Chaos Kong." Said the numerous Whitebeard pirates as they watched Pandemonium create a massacre on the Marine's side.
Pandemonium was causing such carnage that some giants tried to stop them by holding down Mony's fins, but they greatly underestimated their strength. Pandemonium rarely gets to fight, but that doesn't mean I allowed them to ever slack off in their pursuit of strength. One of the rules to be a Frenzy pirate is to constantly improve their strength; if one stays stagnant for too long, I'll teach them a hard lesson, and if that's not enough, well, they'll have a meeting with Lady Death.
As the giants tried to stop Mondy, she promptly raised her four fins, lifting the giants, who were like babies compared to her, into the air before slapping them into the water, while Pandy swooped in and bite each one of the giants, injecting them with his toxic venom, causing their veins to quickly take on a sickly green color that was visible even beneath their skin. However, those were the lucky ones as Pandy began eating one of the unlucky giants, swallowing them whole after unhinging his jaw, and although they attempted to fight back, once they were in the middle section of his body, he slowly began squeezing his muscles, constricting the giant within his stomach until several faint crunches were heard, as Pandy's stomach collapsed onto the giant.
"ROAAARRR HISSSSS!!" Yelled Pandemonium ferociously, their display of might striking fear in the remaining pirates, only for two massive magma fists to hit the two of them, flinging them into the distance.
'Tch, well, it was fun while it lasted.' Mused Diddy with a frown as he glanced at the injured Pandemonium, who were slowly regaining their bearing before eyeing the furious Akainu.
"CHAOS KONG!" Said Akainu through gritted teeth as he eyed Diddy wrathfully, seemingly ignoring the retreating Luffy and Ace.
"Hehe, Pandemonium retreat for now." Remarked Diddy with a chuckle as he glanced at Pandemonium, who reluctantly nodded, only for their massive figure to slowly submerge back into the ocean.
As much as I would've loved for Pandemonium to cause more chaos, they couldn't get too injured, not when every other one of my crewmates was in rough shape, including me. We needed to have at least one of us in good condition; otherwise, we could throw away our idea of escaping this place. However, they had bought all of us valuable time and allowed us to gain distance between Akainu; especially Luffy, though still, with no one able to keep him occupied, he'd quickly catch back up.
'Tsk, I can use my Sulong transformation one more time, but I'll probably pass out once I return to normal.' Thought Diddy with a frown as he continued retreating along with his fellow crewmates while glancing at the rapidly approaching Akainu.
Unfortunately, Whitebeard was still keeping those three admirals occupied, so I couldn't bank my hopes on him suddenly stopping Akainu; Marco and his two fellow pirates were still significantly injured, so they wouldn't be providing much help in this regard either.
"Well, this is fucking terrible. Sebas, have any ideas?" Asked Diddy with an unsightly expression as he kicked a marine away while glancing at Sebas, who was clearing a path of retreat for everyone.
"Survive. That is all I can suggest." Replied Sebas with a deep frown as he glanced at Diddy before looking at Akainu, who was quickly closing the distance.
"Hmph, as if I'm not already trying to do that. Freyja, can you seduce him or what?" Said Diddy with a scoff as he ignored Sebas, who chuckled before looking at Freyja.
"You think I didn't try to do that during our first encounter? He nearly melted my fucking throat because of that. However, I can stall him." Remarked Freyja in irritation as she eyed Diddy in annoyance, only to grab a marine by the neck before tossing him into the distance.
With Freyja's words, she didn't say anything and suddenly flapped her wings, lunging into the sky as she finally stopped suppressing her overflowing charm, causing it to spill forth like a tsunami; both pirates and marines came to a halt with only the strong being unaffected.
"~Can you big, strong men do me a little favor?~" Asked Freyja softly with a faint, seductive, and charming smile as she leaned forward while subtly squishing her large breasts together, causing them to nearly spill forth.
"Y-YES!" "ANYTHING FOR YOU, MY QUEEN!" "I SHALL CARRY OUT YOUR ORDERS WITH ALL OF MY HEART!" Yelled thousands of charmed men as they stared up at Freyja's angelic figure with a cloudly look and a fanatical expression.
"~Well, I don't want anyone to get hurt, but that scary man keeps bothering me, and I-I'm scared he'll do something bad. Could you all please help me stop him?~" Stated Freyja lightly with a lovely smile as she pointed at Akainu while her voice turned fearful, causing the thousands of men to be filled with fury as they stared at him with eyes full of bloodthirst.
"WHAT!?" "WHO FUCKING DARES TO HARM OUR QUEEN!?" I'LL RIP OUT HIS GUTS AND EAT THEM!" "I'M GOING TO TORTURE HIM FOR THE REST OF HIS MISERABLE LIFE!" Declared the thousands of bewitched men as they glared at Akainu before charging towards him.
Looking at the small army lunge towards Akainu, thanks to Freyja's bewitching charms of a Succubus, they all began furiously attacking him, and because of how long the war has been going on, only the strongest remained, so they were actually able to harm him, causing me to smirk.
"So, how did I do, Captain?" Asked Freyja with a faint smirk as she landed beside Diddy while winking at him, yet before he could respond, she suddenly winced.
"Hmph, well, I don't know about Captain. But I would give you a high rating, though only if the target wasn't Akainu." Said Mael lightly as he glanced at Freyja before looking at Akainu, who was attacking his own soldiers, seemingly uncaring for their bewitched state.
"Tsk, well, I only said I could stall him, not stop him." Remarked Freyja with a click of her tongue as she dodged an attack from behind, only for a bo-staff to slam against her attacker.
"Whatever, it's better than nothing; we're almost out of the bay anyways." Said Diddy with a grunt as he glanced at Akainu, who was staring daggers at him, causing him to click his tongue before looking at the edge of the bay.
Although we were close to escaping, Akainu would catch up with us before then, and if that happened, we would practically be sitting ducks for him to kill us.
'Alright, let's try this next then.' Mused Diddy as he tossed his bo-staff to Scar, who caught it and began using it to defeat his enemies.
Clenching my fist, I stomped my foot onto the ground and used the secret technique, the rokushiki technique, while combining it with fishman karate after coating my arm in haki; though my target wasn't Akainu, slamming my fist into the frozen ground, I caused rubble to resound out as massive cracks immediately formed throughout the entire frozen bay.
Removing my fist from the imprint, I lightly flicked the ice, which served as the catalyst in causing the frozen bay to start falling apart as the ice fell into the water, starting from where I initially punched before continuing outwards. However, I wasn't finished, as I knew that wouldn't be enough to stop Akainu, so I leaped into the water and used fishman karate once more to grab it as I twirled it around before throwing it towards him while infusing my lightning with it.
'C'mon, slow down, you magma bastard!' Thought Diddy with narrowed eyes as he stared at Akainu through the electrified water.
