"Celestial Dragon, what's that? Does it taste good?" Asked Luffy curiously as he looked at Diddy, who merely grinned, displaying his sharp teeth and fangs, causing Usopp, Nami, and Chopper to be even more frightened.
"Heh, usually not, but the one I killed probably tasted pretty good; he was rich in fat, and you know that's where most of the flavor resides." Replied Diddy with a smirk while eyeing Luffy, whose eyes lit up, though only Robin understood the weight of his words among the seven.
"W-Wait, did you just say you killed a Celestial Dragon!?" Asked Robin with widened eyes as she stood up and approached the edge of the upper deck, leaning over the railing while eyeing Diddy.
"Yeah, Saint Xalrons; he was also heavily guarded by five vice admirals, though my crew and I managed to kill them all. While I would like to call it a difficult battle, besides the time when I was forced to fight three Vice-admirals, it wasn't too bad, though I supposed the same couldn't be said for the rest of my crew. Ain't that right, Freyja; didn't you almost die?" Remarked Diddy with a feral grin as he glanced at Robin, who flinched subconsciously from his beastly eyes staring right into her own, though he suddenly shifted his focus to behind her.
"Tch, I almost died 'cause I've got a fucking stupid monkey for a Captain; what fool attacks a Celestial Dragons ship that five Vice-admirals are guarding?" Asked Freyja with a scowl as she glared at Diddy while softly landing on the upper deck beside Robin, who reflexively jumped back while crossing her arms before her chest.
"She is truly beautiful." Muttered Robin with a slight blush as she stared at Freyja, though unlike her, who was simply blushing, a certain someone nearly fainted, make that two, actually.
"F-FREYJA-SWAN!!" Yelled Sanji with heart-shaped eyes as he instantly forgot about Diddy and focused on Freyja while his nose spewed blood.
"N-No, t-this is too much! S-Such beauty!" Stated Usopp with a deep blush as he forgot about his fear of Diddy and looked at Freyja while Nami smacked the back of his head.
"Tch now's not the time to swoon over her Usopp! Don't forget they're still enemy pirates; what if they decide to attack!?" Exclaimed Nami angrily as she glared at Usopp, though it was not like she was much better, given her red-tinted cheeks whenever she looked at Freyja.
"No, you're right. However, they're stronger, so after they kill you all, I'll beg them to spare me, and as I slowly gain her trust over the years while working as her servant, I'll get our revenge when she least expects it!" Remarked Usopp with a serious expression while nodding as he looked at Freyja, only for Nami to, once again, smack him on his head, though this time, she used her clima-tact, causing him to lay sprawled on the ground with a large red bump on his head.
"Tsk, stop blaming me for your weakness, Freyja; even when I fought against three Vice-admirals, I was enjoying myself." Said Diddy with a frown as he ignored the straw hat pirates and glared at Freyja, who Sanji was running around in a circle like a madman.
"Oh, well, excuse me for not being an idiotic battle junkie like you; I've actually had things to do in my life other than fight beasts every day." Said Freyja with a frown as she huffed in annoyance and unceremoniously sat at the helm while staring dagger at Diddy.
"You're really starting to annoy me, Freyja; it's not like I asked to be washed ashore on an island all by myself while also right by the forest. Sorry, I wasn't born in the lap of luxury like you, Ms. Noble; oh, oops, you're not a noble anymore, are you?" Stated Diddy with a frown as he squinted his eyes before clicking his tongue, making sure to end by making Freyja, which she didn't take kindly to.
Freyja didn't like my mocking words at all, as I saw horns, a tail, wings, and nails sprout from her body while she gave me a death glare.
"You know I don't like it when you bring up my past, Diddy!" Remarked Freyja as she hovered over the railing with the help of her wings before approaching Diddy, walking right past Zoro, who just gave her a wary look.
Grinning, I bared my fangs and Freyja and leaned forward, whispering right into her ear.
"Voyage Kaitlyn-" Said Diddy with a feral grin as he whispered Freyja's previous name, though he couldn't say anything else since he was forced to dodge a claw swipe from her.
(Note: That's Freyja's name before she changed it to Freyja)
"You've thoroughly pissed me off, Diddy!" Yelled Freyja angrily as she glared at Diddy while swiping toward him with her elongated nails once more, only for him to evade each one.
"Hehe, good, I can use this chance to humble you; you've been acting a little too cocky lately." Said Diddy with a smirk as he leaned to the left before kicking at Freyja, though instead of his foot landing right on her stomach, another leg intervened and blocked the attack.
"Tch, how could you dare think of harming a woman!?" Exclaimed Sanji with an intense frown while standing in between the two, using his leg to block Diddy's foot.
Tilting my head in confusion, I looked at this fool protecting Freyja, and I truly had no words on what to say; what idiot would protect a random woman who was a pirate, no less?
"Um, because I felt like it?" Replied Diddy in slight confusion, feeling completely taken aback by this development, though he wasn't given time to think as Freyja used this chance to attack.
Pushing off Mustard head's leg, I leaped back, dodging Freyja's slash before landing on the deck right beside the frightened trio, whom I'd completely forgotten about since they were so weak; well, that small creature actually wasn't nearly as weak as the other two, but his cowardice pathetic.
"H-Hello?" Said Nami softly while her heart beat erratically in fear as she gazed at Diddy, too frightened to look into his eyes.
Looking back at the mustard head, I suddenly smirked before reaching forward, grabbing the woman's head with my foot, and lifting her into the air, causing the pirates to look at me angrily.
"Oi, Nami!" Yelled Luffy in anger as he glared at Diddy, lifting Nami into the air.
"Tch, Bastard." Muttered Zoro angrily through gritted teeth as he tightly clutched his sword.
"Fucker; don't you dare harm Nami-san, or I'll kick you to oblivion!" Declared Sanji furiously as his expression hardened while starring daggers at Diddy, who was utterly.
"I-I'm going to die!" Said Nami fearfully while tears rolled down her face as she struggled to escape.
I really had no intention of harming, well, at least, killing Nami; she was a pathetically weak coward, and killing her would amount to nothing, no form of satisfaction whatsoever; still, I simply grinned at their response and just as I was about to grip even harder, I saw several pale colored arms emerge from my body. Every arm grabbed a different part of my body before they exerted force and bent my body into U, though other than that, nothing happened.
"Good job Robin-san." Said Sanji with a relieved smile as he nodded toward Robin, who was only frowning despite having broken Diddy's back.
"Tsk, I'll fight him after he deals with this pirate group." Muttered Freyja with a click of her tongue as she eyed Diddy in the distance before spreading her wings and taking to the sky.
"I-I don't think he's de- Urgh!" Said Robin with a slight frown before she grunted in agonizing pain.
Breaking free of these arms, I cut them all off my body with my nails before standing upright and glancing at Robin on the upper deck, more confused than angry at her attack.
"The hell was that supposed to do? All you did was stretch me a little; c'mon, this is a weak display. Didn't you guys defeat one of the seven warlords of the sea? Don't tell me crocodile was a phony." Remarked Diddy with a frown of confusion as he looked at Robin, who was sporting an ugly expression.
"Wait a second, I've seen you before; you're on that wanted poster, Demon's Child or something like that. Heh, I'm pretty sure your bounty is 80,000,000; hear that, Freyja?" Added Diddy as he snapped his fingers while eyeing Robin before glancing at Freyja hovering in the air, who promptly ignored him.
"Anyways, that's about it; now, let's get started." Said Diddy with a smirk as he tossed Nami overboard, prompting Luffy, Zoro, and an angry Sanji to lunge at him.
Grinning, I kicked off the deck and dashed right for them, reaching them quickly as the Captain was the first to attack me, punching right at me while his arm extended over several feet, slightly surprising me, but I grabbed his fist and yanked him toward me before kicking him in the stomach, flinging him away.
'He's eaten a devil fruit and a weird one at that; it felt like I'd just kicked rubber.' Mused Diddy as he ignored Luffy and eyed Zoro, who raised his two swords above his head and slashed down toward him.
Dodging right between the two swords, I kneed the swordsman in the face before backflipping off his body and slapping him away with my tail; landing on the deck, I suddenly lifted my left before swiping it at Sanji, launching a rankyaku right at him, which he managed to block with his leg, but it was still too much, and he followed in his friend's footsteps.
"C'mon, get up; I know you three are still alive." Remarked Diddy with a smirk as he stood on the deck and waited for them to regain their bearings.
