Bab 28: Chapter 28: Frenzy Pirates First Battle

"The marine reinforcements should've arrived at Karate Island by now; hehe, I wonder what their reaction was." Said Diddy with a viscous smirk while standing on the upper deck as he looked in the direction of Karate Island.

"Because of your stupid note, now they know where to find us; good job, Captain." Remarked Freyja with a frown, though Diddy merely laughed in response.

"Haha, that's the whole point, Freyja; It wouldn't be any fun otherwise!" Replied Diddy as he turned around and neared Freyja, who was at the helm, sitting in the captain's seat.

"Only you would call pissing off the marines, killing hundreds of people, and destroying an island, fun; I've always known you were a monster, but I didn't know you were also psychotic." Stated Freyja as she glanced at Diddy, who was laughing.

"Anyways, enough about the Marines for now, Karate island may have some connections with the WG, but that place was weak and unimportant, so most likely, even if they send some ships after us, it'll only consist of a bunch of weaklings, it'll take a few more destroyed islands before they start taking us somewhat seriously, though by then, I hope to already be in Paradise, or at least near the GrandLine." Said Diddy with a smirk while leaning against the captain's seat that Freyja occupied.

"So, how much longer until we arrive at Baterilla? It should be close." Added Diddy calmly as he folded his arms while looking out to sea, hoping to spot an island.

"I don't know exactly, but we are very close; any minute now, its silhouette should be appearing in the distance." Replied Freyja while looking at the map of South Blue.

"If we're that close, maybe I should just go on ahead? It's not like this ship is necessarily moving fast or anything; I could get there faster even if I swam." Muttered Diddy with a thoughtful expression, and just when he was about to jump into the air, Freyja aggressively grabbed his tail.

"Don't even think about it, Diddy; if you go by yourself, you'll kill everyone on the island, leaving me with no one to feast on." Said Freyja with an intense frown as she tightened her grip, causing Diddy to grin in response.

"Ho, aren't I the Captain, Freyja? Why should I have to listen to the words of a Vice-Captain, not to mention someone weaker than me!?" Questioned Diddy with a beastly grin as lightning arched around his tail, causing Freyja's palm to emit smoke, though she didn't once flinch.

"Tch, can't you just wait a few minutes? Is that so difficult for you? Besides, the Baterilla is right there." Asked Freyja while eyeing Diddy, not even bothering about her burning palm as she used her other hand to point forward.

Following Freyja's finger, I looked in the direction of where she was pointing, and lo and behold, I spotted the silhouette of an island quite far off in the distance; although I could just fly through the air while using geppo to get there quicker, it would only take a few more minutes to get there by ship.

"Hmph, well, aren't you lucky; however, it won't always be the same. As I said before, I'm not waiting for anyone; if you can't keep up with me, you'll get left behind." Said Diddy with a viscous grin while slightly baring his fangs as he forcefully swung his tail, escaping Freyja's grip.

"I already know that, don't need to tell me twice; but if you were to go ahead, I would've followed, which means the ship would've been abandoned with no one steering it; although we were quite close to the island, we are still out in the sea, I'd prefer if nothing happens to this ship; it was quite a tedious process to acquire." Replied Freyja lightly while blowing on her charred palm that was still emitting smoke.

I wanted to give a rebuttal, but I couldn't really deny her words either; I'd also prefer if nothing happened to the ship since while Freyja and I can both fly, well, it's technically running for me, it would be pretty exhausting to do so, not to mention we would only be able to take rests on islands or in the ocean, well not for Freyja, unless she wishes to drown. If waiting a few minutes can possibly prevent something bad from happening to this ship, I can wait a few minutes, granted it was a rather boring couple of minutes.

"Heh, I suppose this is what they call brains and brawn." Muttered Diddy, though Freyja merely scoffed.

"I wish you were nothing but brawn; it would be much easier to kill you if you were stupid; unfortunately, that isn't the case. You're far smarter than you let on. Besides, I may be weaker than you, but I'm no pushover either; it's not like you'd be able to kill within a few attacks; it would take more than that to bring me down." Declared Freyja with a frown as she glanced at Diddy, who nodded in response.

"You're not wrong; a smart person wouldn't let their hand get burnt." Said Diddy, though once again, Freyja huffed at his remark.

"If I'd done that, you'd have flown to the island." Replied Freyja, causing Diddy to smirk while the two descended into silence as they approached the island.

While nearing the island, I noticed a lighthouse on a small island beside the main island, though the lighthouse wasn't activated, causing me to raise an eyebrow, but I didn't have any knowledge of how lighthouses operate, so I thought nothing of it; however, not too far off from the coast, I spotted a marine outpost along with a couple of small battleships seemingly guarding the island.

"Heh, I didn't know Baterilla had a marine outpost; isn't it just a normal island? Well, whatever; seeing them patrolling the coast, they must've been anticipating our arrival; hehe, get ready, Freyja, we are about to have a special welcoming party." Declared Diddy with a feral grin as he unholstered the staff attached to his back while Freyja lustfully licked her lips with a hungry gaze.

"I should thank them; to think they would prepare a delicious feast for little ol' me, I'm honored." Said Freyja with a smirk as she eyed the three ships full of men with a hungry gaze.

As we approached the island, it didn't take long for them to spot our ship as they stopped patrolling and started heading toward our location, seemingly trying to intercept us before we arrived at the island; when the first ship neared us, they began firing cannonballs out our ship, thankfully they had terrible aim, but the few that threatened to hit my ship, I would simply knock way with my staff.

"What a nice captain for allowing ladies to go first; I shall thank you later, Diddy." Said Freyja with a smirk while flying past Diddy with wings that sprouted from her back as she neared the marine ship.

'Tch, whatever, at least she'll cause the battleship to stop firing cannonballs.' Thought Diddy with a frown while ignoring Freyja as he deflected cannonballs from hitting his ship.

Thankfully, Freyja's abilities were very potent against men, and not even a minute later, the battleship's barrage of cannonballs halted, causing me to smirk, and without an ounce of hesitation, I jumped into the sky and propelled myself through the air, intending to stop the other two ships before they get within range. While flying through the air, I passed by the first battleship where Freyja was, and what I saw on the deck was a line of marines, both male and very few women, willingly offering themselves to Freyja as she sucked their vitality dry with a kiss, killing them in a matter of seconds, yet even so, not a single person faltered from such a sight.

'Aren't succubi abilities supposed to weaken when used on a woman? That doesn't really seem to be the case here.' Thought Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he watched Freyja passionately kiss a woman, sucking her vitality dry.

Anyways, I didn't dwell on Freyja's abilities for too long as I quickly passed the first battleship and neared the incoming two in the distance; they must've spotted me flying through the sky since they started using cannons and guns, hoping to knock me out of the sky. However, such attempts were useless; I didn't bother dodging the bullets as I simply hardened my body using one of the Rokushiki techniques, which is called Tekkai.

With my body now as hard as iron, the bullets that hit my body bounced off, causing me not an ounce of damage, the cannonballs on the other hand, they were explosive, so taking them head-on wouldn't be the brightest idea, though I didn't need to since I simply deflected them using Naga-sa. Getting closer to the two battleships, I deflected a few more cannonballs before finally landing on one of the battleships; noticing the stop of gunfire, I looked around, only to see the crowd of marines that surrounded me holster their rifles as they unsheathed their swords with determined expressions.

"We'll only say this once, surrender right now, pi-" Said a righteous marine officer as he stepped forward from the crowd of marines, though he didn't manage to finish his speech.

"Hehe, surrender? I don't quite understand that word!" Stated Diddy with a vicious smirk while looking at the righteous marine he had stabbed his arm through, clutching his still-beating heart with his hand.

"K-KILL HIM!!" Yelled one of the marines angrily, his words raising the crowd's morale as they charged toward Diddy.

"Hehe, hopefully, you all can entertain me somewhat!" Declared Diddy with a feral grin as he threw the corpse he held to some of the charging marines, causing them to fall back.
