Chapter 259: Frenzy Attack Vs Great Eruption
While staring at Akainu through the electrified water I had thrown at him, I saw him raise his arm, engulfing it in a thick layer of magma as he prepared to punch right through it, yet right before he could, out of nowhere, the already cold temperature began to rapidly drop even more as out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a woman of blue skin with a muscular physique and two whitish horns growing out of her skull, pointing towards the sky. I was confused about her sudden appearance since she had appeared from seemingly nowhere, and seeing how there wasn't one wound on her body, she clearly hadn't been participating in the war; it was like she had just arrived.
However, what is even more confusing is the frost constantly emitting from her body as she runs atop the water, which instantly freezes the moment she touches the water, giving her a platform to run across.
'No, she's not touching the water; it's freezing right before she touched it.' Thought Diddy with a slight frown as he eyed the rapidly approaching woman.
Once the woman neared me, she leaped overhead and placed her hand right above the electrified water I had thrown at Akainu, who was in the midst of punching it; however, before he finished doing so, a torrent of frost emitted from the woman's hand as she froze the water, which caused Akainu's hand to be momentarily stuck, though it wouldn't last for long with how quickly he was melting the ice.
Watching the woman land on the water right beside me, we gave each other a look, only for her to suddenly grab my shoulder and dash toward my crewmates while Akainu was getting stalled by the frozen electrified water and the hundreds of marines Freyja had turned into her slaves.
Grabbing the woman's hand, I twisted her arm and kicked the air as I landed on her shoulders.
"Who the fuck are you, and why do you smell familiar?" Asked Diddy solemnly as he aggressively bared his fangs at the woman while threatening to break her arm, which she seemed entirely unconcerned about.
"E-Egg… Pandemonium… Birth… Help, Captain." Replied the woman with difficulty as she continued running towards the Frenzy pirates while Diddy furrowed his brows.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Muttered Diddy with a slightly confused expression as he looked at the woman, though before he could further question her, an explosion erupted from behind, grabbing his attention.
Dealing with this random woman later, I turned and looked at Akainu, who had broken through the ice wall and was heading right for us, causing me to frown as I glanced at the woman I was standing on before looking at the water she was running atop.
"You can do that again, right?" Asked Diddy as he released the woman's arm and hopped off her back before submerging himself in the water.
I didn't get a response; instead, the frost emitting off her body simply became denser, causing me to smirk as I started chucking large waves into the sky, while the woman would freeze each one, turning it into a wall of ice that separated us from Akainu; however, whether this was slowing him down or not was up for debate.
'Tsk, c'mon, leave us the fuck alone! I'm too injured to fight you!' Thought Diddy with an annoyed expression as he eyed Akainu through the several walls of Ice he kept crashing through with ease.
Glancing at the Whitebeard pirates, I noticed they were beginning to escape out to sea with an unconscious Luffy being helped into what looked to be a submarine by a dude with a long sword.
'He's familiar.' Mused Diddy as he stared at Trafalgar, who happened to glance at him, causing their eyes to cross paths, only for him to feel a slight chill run down his spine.
Akainu was too tunneled vision on me to even notice Luffy, Ace, and the Whitebeard pirates were escaping, causing me to click my tongue as I leaped out of the water after throwing an extra large wave, which the woman froze before I grabbed her by the waist and lunged towards my crew.
"Eh, Diddy, who the hell is she?" Asked Freyja with a raised eyebrow as she looked at Diddy, who shrugged his shoulders before suddenly tossing the woman far out into the sea.
"Don't know, but we've got bigger fucking problems. PANDEMONIUM!" Stated Diddy as he glanced at Freyja before pointing towards the rapidly charging Akainu, causing everyone's faces to turn grim.
"I-I'm probably going to die, aren't I?" Asked Trenza as she glanced at Akainu while gulping in fear, only for Janet to suddenly appear in front of her.
"Not with me here!" Declared Janet with a smile as she attempted to take a picture of Akainu, but nothing happened, causing her expression to stiffen.
"W-We're going to die." Muttered Janet with an ugly expression, only for her and Trenza to be tossed far out into the sea.
After a few seconds, Pandemonium appeared from underneath the water, right where the woman I had thrown earlier landed, followed by Janet and Trenza, while Sebas took Grand with him.
"We won't be able to escape with Akainu chasing us like this." Said Mael as he glanced at Diddy before looking at Akainu while he flew towards Pandemonium.
"Heh, I know, so that's why we'll attack him." Said Diddy with a smirk as he kicked the air, grabbing Naga-sa out of Scar's hands before landing on the top of Pandy's head.
With my words, Freyja, Scar, Sebas, Mael, and the woman from before landed beside me as we all looked at Akainu, who had leaped off the molten ground and headed right for us, causing me to grin as I infused Nimbus into Naga-sa, causing me to nearly collapse, but I managed to stand firm barely.
"C'mon, guys, I know you're exhausted, but we've got at least one last attack in us." Said Diddy with a feral grin as the lightning surrounding Naga-sa violently surged while occasionally branching off into the ocean.
"Ugh, fuck me." Muttered Freyja in exhaustion as she began taking deep breaths, exhaling inky black flames while squinting at Akainu.
"More like fuck us." Said Mael with a frown as he tightly clenched his golden axe while his figure grew to roughly twice his original size, transforming into a being of pure plasma.
"Hoho, you're quite right about that." Muttered Sebas with a chuckle as he narrowed his eyes before raising his hands, causing several marine battleships to be lifted into the air, only for them to be slowly broken down into small debris.
"Haa, I'm tired." Said Scar as he eyed Akainu while bringing his leg upward, which began vibrating at a high frequency.
"Fuck… Us?" Muttered the woman as she tilted her head while clasping her hands together, condensing an enormous amount of frost into a single point.
"Great Eruption!" Stated Akainu as he created a massive magma fist before striking down at the Frenzy pirates.
Looking at Akainu's giant fist of magma, I chuckled while tapping Pandy's head, causing Mony to blast a highly pressurized jet stream of water at the incoming fist, yet her attack did next to nothing other than create a dense layer of fog, which obstructed our view, though it was impossible for Akaniu's attack to be hidden by some mist.
After Mony, the first to attack was the woman as she created a small gap in between her hands, allowing the frost which has been building up to be powerfully shot out her hands before hitting Akainu's fist; following her, Scar attacked next, and to my surprise, he combined geppo, soru, and rankyaku, launching a powerful blade of vibrating wind that slammed against Akainu's fist. After that, Sebas controlled the circulating debris overhead to slam into the magma fist, creating what looked like a river of debris, while Mael powerfully slashed down with his plasma-coated golden axe, launching a massive arc of scalding hot plasma that burned the very magma itself. Freyja then finally exhaled the breath she'd been building up, releasing a mighty roar of inky black flames towards the approaching fist while I pushed through my pain-filled body and raised Naga-sa into the air before enlarging it and slamming it into Akainu's fist.
"Eternal…Frost!" "Chainsaw Trete!" "Axe Of The Divine Plasma!" "Constellation Magnum Galore!" "Amaterasu's Judgment!" "Beastly Incursion!" Yelled the woman, Scar, Mael, Sebas, Freyja, and Diddy, respectively, as they all attacked Akainu's encroaching magma fist, momentarily bringing it to a halt.
With the combined might of us six, we managed to just barely bring Akainu's fist to a halt, yet it was only for a short period as he pushed through our attacks with even more strength, causing me to grit my teeth as my fur once again took on a silverish sheen while my eyes released a bloody red light. Having transformed into my Sulong form for the last time, I infused even more lightning into Naga-sa, which was strengthened so much it nearly drowned out Akainu's fist while I pushed against the attack, using every ounce of my strength I could physically muster with my broken body.
However, even with my added strength, I was only able to delay the inevitable, and when I felt Akainu began to push back despite having transformed, I knew there was nothing left we could do; we had used all of our strongest attacks, and we were all far too injured and exhausted to do anything else. Yet, right when I prepared to brace for the incoming punch, Marco suddenly came from nowhere and slammed into the side of Akainu's fist, pushing it to the side. Seeing that, I tilted Naga-sa and caused his fist to divert into the water away from us.
"Now we're even." Said Marco with a frown as he eyed Diddy while flapping his wings, flying back towards the retreating moby dick.
Chuckling, I let gravity take hold of me as I slammed onto Mony's shell while she began to submerge into the ocean with Pandy coiling his body around us, protecting our fortress from the ocean. However, right before we fully submerged ourselves, I gave Akainu a faint smirk, causing him to furiously attack once more, though as I tilted my head to the right, I spotted another ship sailing right for Marineford instead of away from it.
The jolly roger was that of a skull with two swords, though the skull had two reddish lines going through its left eye, causing me to tilt my head.
'Huh, I've seen the flag before.' Mused Diddy with a curious look, though before he could question anything, he returned to his normal form, causing him to faint.
