Bab 219: Chapter 219: Icy Egg
"Hey, Captain, do you think we've made any progress as of yet?" Asked Trenza curiously as she sat down, leaning against a tree while roasting a deer over a large fire.
"I don't know; so far, I haven't found anything. Though on the bright side, that means Freyja and Mael haven't discovered anything either." Replied Diddy lightly, hanging upside down on a tree branch using his tail while glancing at Trenza, who nodded.
"Anyways, is the deer done yet? I'm a little hungry." Asked Diddy with a frown as he looked at the deer in hunger, only for Trenza to flip it onto its side while seasoning it with salt.
"Almost; I just have to finish cooking this side; it should be done within a few minutes." Replied Trenza lightly, causing Diddy to click his tongue as he dropped from the branch and landed beside her.
Stretching a little, I decided to go and check up on my prisoner, who was currently tied to a tree in the distance; approaching her, she warily stared at me while in her adult form, which was much more pleasing to the eye, not to mention it made her a bigger target.
"W-What do you want, Chaos Kong!?" Asked the woman or child aggressively as she glared at Diddy, who just gave her an unamused expression.
Ignoring the woman's words, I leaned in close and deeply sniffed her chest, which caused her to squirm while the ropes binding her started to snap, but with a simple growl, she bit her lip before calming down. Scoffing, I continued to sniff her chest before moving towards the rest of her body, inhaling her different scent, which caused me to frown since, while I could smell the human wafting off her, there was something else mixed in, and it was oddly familiar.
"Hmm, you're not human… You smell similar to Grand." Said Diddy lightly as he backed away from the woman, getting a better view of her while she furrowed her brows at his words, only to shake her head violently.
"And neither are you! Just Let me go!" Yelled the woman as she glared at Diddy, who, once again, promptly ignored her words.
'Hmm, what to do, what to do? I said I wanted to keep her as a prisoner, but it was merely on the spur of the moment.' Thought Diddy with a thoughtful expression as he looked at the woman, who was staring dagger at him.
"I could kill you…" Muttered Diddy, his words causing the woman to nervously gulp as she frantically tried to escape while Diddy rubbed his chin.
"…Or I could do nothing." Added Diddy, his words causing the lady to sigh with relief, only for her to gulp when she noticed him grinning.
"Captain, food's done!" Stated Trenza, her words causing Diddy to forget about the woman instantly as he vanished before reappearing beside Trenza while already eating some of the deer.
'Mhm, so tasty.' Thought Diddy with a satisfied expression as he unhinged his jaw like a snake and expanded his throat, allowing him to stuff the entire leg of the deer into his stomach.

Waking up after a short nap, I glanced down at Tremza, who was sleeping on the ground beside the campfire, before looking at where my prisoner was, only to see she had escaped, which wasn't surprising; even when I was dreaming, I knew she was escaping, just didn't care enough to wake up and stop her, she didn't really pique my interest that much.
'Besides, she had a Vivre card on her, so if I ever want her, I'll just follow the Vivre card.' Mused Diddy as he reached into his pocket and grabbed a small piece of paper the size of his nail.
"Though for her to have a Vivre card, she must be someone decently important; Sebas has said they're exceedingly rare within Paradise, even rarer than devil fruits." Muttered Diddy with furrowed brows as she stored the Vivre card back in his pocket before leaping off the tree and landing beside Trenza, who was slapped awake with his tail.
"Ugh, i-it's still so earlier, f-five more minutes." Said Trenza as she grumbled under her breath, slapping Diddy's tail away while rolling onto her side, only to be hoisted into the air by her nape.
"Awake now?" Asked Diddy lightly while baring his fangs at Trenza, who rapidly nodded her head, causing him to drop her to the floor.
"Tsk, c'mon, we're finding out what's weird with this island today." Declared Diddy as he forcefully put Trenza on his back and dashed through the forest, causing her to nearly fall off from being unprepared.
For the next few hours, I ran around the island, searching for anything suspicious or weird and besides the animals on the island, everything looked normal, just like your type of uninhabited island. Which was annoying since I knew there was something weird happening on this island, and by the time it reached around noon, I finally found something.
'Hmm, what's that? An opened hatch?' Mused Diddy as he glanced to his left while looking through his observation haki, only to sharply turn left after leaping off a tree, destroying it in the process.
Arriving at the hatch a few moments later, I approached the hatch as Trenza hopped off and squatted while looking down the chute.
"HELLO!" Yelled Trenza loudly, her voice echoing through the narrow chute, only for her to glance back up at Diddy after no response.
"Don't think there is anyone present." Said Trenza lightly, only for Diddy to click his tongue in annoyance as he slammed his tail on the ground, creating a sizable dent in the ground.
"Tsk, Sebas beat us to it. Tch, whatever, I can accept it so long as it's only him. C'mon, let's drop down." Remarked Diddy in slight annoyance as he shook his head before leaping down the chute while Trenza took the latter, which was slow yet safe.
Landing on the ground after falling down the chute for several seconds, I walked down the corridor, passing the opened vault door before entering a room full of technologically advanced machines that I'd never even seen in my past life, which caused me to momentarily freeze as I observed the room.
"I'm in the 1500s, right?" Muttered Diddy with a slightly confused look as he gazed at the numerous tubes filled with animals and body parts.
"What the hell is going on here? Are they trying to create some sort of chimera? Well, if it turns out to be strong, I'm not opposed to such an idea." Questioned Diddy with a weird expression before shaking his head and grinning, only to turn and glance at Sebas, who was walking towards him while an old man in a labcoat followed him.
"Hoho, using that mighty brain of yours, Captain?" Asked Sebas with a chuckle, causing Diddy to scoff as he folded his arms while tapping his tail against a tube with a monkey.
"Hmph, I was merely guessing; I didn't actually think I was going to be right." Said Diddy lightly in a tone of annoyance, causing Sebas to chuckle before nodding.
"Well, your guess was almost spot on, Captain. They weren't trying to create a chimera. They successfully did so." Remarked Sebas with a slightly enthusiastic smile, his words causing Diddy to raise an eyebrow.
"Ho, no, you've got my fucking attention; where is this so-called chimera?" Asked Didy with a faint smirk as he eyed Sebas, who turned around while motioning to follow him, which he did, only for them to arrive at a large, modern fridge.
"I'm assuming it's inside?" Asked Diddy as he reached towards the modern fridge while Sebas nodded.
Opening the fridge, I was instantly blasted with freezing cold air as if I was just dropping in the tundra while it was in the middle of winter; blowing all the frost out of the way, I looked inside and found a singular egg the size of a child which seemed to be emitting frost.
Intently staring at the egg, I narrowed my eyes, only to hear a very faint rhythmic beat emanating from it, causing me to grin as I placed my hand on the frost, only for ice to slowly over my fingers, but it was promptly pushed back by the heat of my lightning.
"Heh, you're right; they managed to succeed; incredible." Muttered Diddy with a feral grin as he stared at the egg before removing his hand and looking at Sebas, only to notice Trenza approaching them from a distance.
"So, um, can someone tell me what the hell is happening here? I-I'm more than just a little freaked out right now." Asked Trenza lightly as she glanced between Sebas and Diddy, looking behind her at the numerous tubes of animals.
"I could give you a whole synopsis of this man's life, but to put it briefly, dear. After pirates killed his daughter, he wished to create another daughter, and as he fell deeper into madness, he eventually managed to combine several different creatures and give birth to a chimera. Which is this egg right here." Stated Sebas softly as he gestured to the old man to his right before pointing at the egg in the fridge, causing Trenza to slowly nod.
"O-Okay. But, mind telling me what a chimera is?" Asked Trenza lightly as she glanced at the egg before looking back at Sebas while Diddy scoffed.
