Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Boredom Defeats Frenzy

"Treasure Adam Wood? The fuck is that? A Band?" Remarked Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he looked at Sebas, who shook his head.

"No, it's a type of wood cut from the Treasure Tree Adam; it's incredibly rare, and just a piece big enough to make a small boat costs nearly a quarter of a billion Beri. However, from what I've heard, it's worth the cost; not only is its durability even more impressive than iron, it's lighter, granting the captain of such a ship a plethora of advantages compared to everyone else." Stated Sebas while tapping the ship's hull, his words garnering Diddy's interest.

"Ho, if what you said is true, this wood sounds quite nice; I wouldn't mind getting a ship built out of it. So, all-knowing Sebas, where can I find a Treasure Tree, Adam?" Asked Diddy with a grin as he folded his arms and leaned against the door, though when he saw Sebas shake his head, he frowned.

"I don't know, though the only feasible way to acquire Treasure Adam wood is to purchase it on the black market, and even then, it's infrequent to appear. I, myself, have had the privilege to attend many black market auctions; however, I've only ever seen it auctioned off once. So unless we're incredibly fortunate, I wouldn't bank on making a ship out of Treasure Adam wood." Said Sebas with a slight frown while rubbing his chin, his words causing Diddy to click his tongue in annoyance.

"Well, whatever. It's not like we need a new ship; this one is serving us just fine, well, except whenever Freyja gets angry and wantonly throws her fireballs around the place." Remarked Diddy with a slight frown as he shook his head and exited from Sebas's room.

"I'm leaving; do whatever you were doing before I arrived." Added Diddy, not even bothering to close the door behind him as he left Sebas while walking toward the kitchen to eat.

"Haa, our Captain sure lacks politeness." Muttered Sebas with a sigh as he waved his hand, closing the door while continuing to rest.

'It's been a few days since I've eaten; time to refill myself.' Mused Diddy as he opened the frigid and grabbed slabs of sea king meat before sitting down at the table and cooking them with his electricity.

"Ugh, that was good; with this, I should be good for 4-5 days." Said Diddy as he patted his extremely bloated stomach, though thanks to his recent training, he can now control his metabolism.

Speeding up my metabolism, I waited a few minutes and watched my bloated stomach slowly shrink itself until my defined six abs returned in all their glory, causing me to smile in delight. The training I've been doing is rather tedious and time-consuming, but even without the technique being complete, it has already shown massive benefits.

'Great, now I don't have to take a nap every time I eat; it saves so much time. Speaking of time, I might as well go and train; I've got nothing going on right now, and until the stupid log pose resets, I'm basically stuck here.' Thought Diddy as he stood up and did a little stretch before exiting the galley and heading upstairs, only to see Grand the only one present.

"Well, It's not like we're actually stuck here; if we really want to leave, we can just use the eternal log pose." Muttered Diddy as he passed Grand, walking to the upper deck and resting Naga-sa beside his hammock.

With Naga-sa properly stored, I leaped overboard into the ocean, not the island, and swam downwards for a considerably long time before I finally reached a distance where the water felt like it was crushing me, but it wasn't, a delicate balance if I will say so myself.

'Alright, let's begin the fun.' Mused Diddy as he started his daily training routine, though before he did, he did a slight warm-up consisting of various kicks and swift punches from all angles.

Currently, I was lying sprawled on the upper deck, bored out of my fucking mind; we'd been on this island for four days already, and we still hadn't left yet, much to my annoyance. While waiting for the stupid log pose to reset, I had Scar, Trenza, and Grand scour the island for supplies, gold, and maybe some weapons, and while they did manage to find some valuable supplies, it was nothing worthy to note about.

"Haa, I'm bored." Remarked Diddy with a sigh as he looked up at the afternoon sky, the sun beaming in his eyes, but he didn't bother looking away.

'I definitely should've asked whatever her name was how long it would take the log pose to reset before killing her; I won't make that mistake again.' Thought Diddy as he rubbed his face in exhaustion despite having been doing nothing.

While I was lying, I heard Freyja walking up the steps, and unlike usual, when I laid eyes on her voluptuous figure, I didn't mock her; I was just so exhausted I didn't even feel like doing so, nor did I bother asking her about the log pose, I didn't want my already abysmal expectations to be crushed again.

"Haa, what are you doing, Freyja?" Asked Diddy blandly as he rolled onto his side and glanced at Freyja, who walked towards the side where the makeshift anchor was.

"I'm getting us out of here." Replied Freyja calmly, though she was sporting a slight smile as she grabbed the rope, yanking it up before catching the large boulder in her hands.

Confused by her statement, I glanced at her right wrist, which is where she keeps the log pose, and to my delight, for the first time in four days, no longer was the needle spinning about in circles; instead, it was steadily pointing in one direction. Seeing the log pose actually doing what it's supposed to do, I widened my eyes and quickly stood up before approaching Freyja, though I didn't pay her any mind; all of my focus was on the log pose.

"Is it finally pointing in the right direction?" Asked Diddy with bated breaths as he lightly tapped the log pose, to which Freyja responded with a satisfied smile.

"Yes, it had just stopped spinning a few minutes ago; now, Captain, let's leave this dump of an island and continue to the next one, which has got to be better than this place." Stated Freyja with a smile as she grasped Diddy's hand while the two of them looked into each other's eyes.

"Hehe, you read my mind, Vice-Captain! Let's get this fucking ship moving!" Yelled Diddy with an excited grin as he released Freyja's hand before leaping to the top of the mast, just above the crow's nest that Trenza usually occupies.

Overlooking the crew below, it seemed I wasn't the only one who was bored out of their minds; Grand was skipping rocks against the ocean while leaning against the railing, Trenza was playing what looked to be solitaire, and Scar was training with my bo-staff. I couldn't see Sebas as he was still lying in bed from the various injuries Inflicted on him, which is understandable; I did beat the living shit out of him; I gave him a kind of beating that I would only do with Freyja, so really, it's already a surprise he's not permanently crippled.

"The log pose is finally working! We're leaving this fucking Island!" Declared Diddy with a feral smirk, his words prompting the three below to stop whatever they were doing and look up at Diddy with surprise.

"Haha; finally, I'm in need of some action!" Said Grand with newfound vigor as he flexed so hard his shirt exploded, allowing him to display his dense and massive muscles.

"Fucking finally; this is my 10th time playing solitaire this day. If I see freaking ace of spades one more time, I'm shooting myself!" Stated Trenza with a sigh of relief as she picked up the box she was playing solitaire on and tossed it overboard.

"Haa, finally." Muttered Scar in exhaustion as he unholstered Naga-sa from his back before it drained him of his life while he collapsed onto the ground shortly after.

"You three know what to do; lower the sails! The Frenzy pirates are setting sail!" Stated Diddy with a grin as he leaped off the mast and landed at the ship's bow near Scar, who was slowly getting up.

"Aye, aye, Captain!" Yelled Scar, Trenza, and Grand as they quickly did as they were ordered, lowering the sails at an astonishing speed.

Jumping off the ship, I hovered in the air right in front of it and firmly grasped the stem of the ship before kicking the air behind, slowly pushing the boat back, since without doing this, it would be a hassle to try and maneuver the ship out of the coast.

Once I got the ship a decent distance away, I shifted the boat's direction until the wind was in line with the sails before I hopped back onto the ship, landing beside Freyja as I placed my arm on the seat she was sitting on as she steered the ship.

With the sails fully lowered, they were quickly filled with wind, causing the ship to quickly catch speed as we slowly sailed away from that forsaken island.

"So, where to next, Captain?" Asked Freyja with a slight smile, seemingly in a good mood.

"Heh, it's not like we've got much of a choice. To the next island! Though I'm interested in that Suns Angel Trenza told me about, my instincts warn me he's powerful. You and Sebas might be getting another person to join the Frenzy Pirates future commander's ranks." Remarked Diddy with a feral grin, not knowing that he'd be shocked when he first encountered the Sun's Angel.
