Chương 21: Chapter 21: History of Freyja & Diddy

Once I returned home after talking with Freyja, I decided to take a quick nap until morning arrived, as it was only a few hours away.

Currently, I had just awoken from my slumber, and as I exited my bed, I heard a knock on my door, though the person didn't even wait for me to respond before opening the door and walking inside.

"It hasn't even been a month since you've eaten that devil fruit, yet your actions have become bolder." Remarked Diddy with a grin as he eyed Freyja, who was wearing her usual clothes as she entered the room while pushing a cart full of food.

She gave me a side glance before ignoring me and prepping the table with the numerous foods; seeing her act like that, I merely smirked before sitting down at the table while stuffing my face full of food. However, while I was eating, I noticed Freyja hadn't left and was standing beside the table as she constantly glanced at me, and if it were before, I would've ignored her entirely; however, now, I figured she deserved at least some of my attention.

"Heh, what's your deal, Freyja; I can tell you've been constantly looking at me ever since I started eating; just spit out whatever you have on your mind." Stated Diddy as he ate an entire chicken thigh, bone and all; you could hear the crunching of the bones as he chewed.

"Where and how did you come across the devil fruit? They are supposed to be legendary and very difficult to acquire." Asked Freyja calmly, no longer able to contain her curiosity.

"Hehe, luck, I suppose; when I discovered the devil fruit, I didn't know what they were, but it looked unique, so I decided to keep it, though funnily enough, the day I found that devil fruit was the same night I took over this house." Remarked Diddy with a smirk, his words causing Freyja to clench her fist in anger while killing intent started leaking from her body, though, after a few seconds, she calmed down and returned to normal.

"However, if you wish to know, I don't mind recounting the events. Here comes another Flashback!" Added Diddy while chuckling as he started retelling the story.

Blocking the older women's kick with my leg, I spun around to her backside, and while bringing my legs upward without giving her a chance to defend herself, I attacked her with her Dojo's signature martial art.

'Lightning Kicks!'

Kicking her back tens of times in mere seconds, I could feel how her bones would break and snap every time my foot collided against her back, causing me to smirk as I finally defeated her in battle. As I stopped attacking, you could see her bare back, which used to be concealed by her clothes, was now covered in bruises, reminding me of the moon's surface.

"Heh, It seems I still had a lot to learn." Muttered the old lady with twin buns just before she collapsed onto the ground, dying her dojo matt red in blood.

Seeing the woman fall to the ground, I gave her one last look, though my eyes mainly lingered on her massive thighs, before I exited the dojo, vanishing under the cover of night.

While walking through a dark alley, recounting my battle with the dojo Master, I happened to walk past a hobo that was holding some fruit in his hand, and just as I was about to continue walking, I suddenly inhaled a heavenly scent, causing me to stop in my tracks and focus on the hobo immediately, or more specifically the fruit in his hands.

Now that I got a better look at the fruit, I noticed that while its shape resembles that of a pear, that's the only normal thing about the fruit; its body contains these weird swirls, and it has three stems as if it was grown from three different trees or vines. Just as the Hobo was about to eat it, I swiftly snatched the fruit out of his hands while deeply inhaling the scent, which might've been the most tempting smell I've ever inhaled.

"H-Hey you, g-give that back to me!" Stated the hobo angrily as he noticed Diddy holding his fruit, though before he could stand up, his head was suddenly detached from the rest of his body.

"This fruit looks weird, but it smells so great! I'll have this sometime later once I get home, and speaking of home; I need to find a place to stay. Preferably someplace nice and somewhat isolated." Remarked Diddy as he stored the fruit in his pocket while continuing to walk down the alley.

While walking through Martial City, I started pondering about the best place where I should live for my stay here, and eventually, after several minutes of thinking, I decided to settle for a house in the noble district. That area is relatively isolated, and with their help, I'll be able to learn more about this world, not to mention it's a rather lovely place to live.

So with that decision, I jumped into the sky and started propelling myself through the air as I headed toward the noble district; luckily, it was pretty close to the dojo district, which was the area I was currently in. Jumping through the sky, I quickly entered the noble district and started scouting for the ideal house to occupy; granted, there weren't many options to choose from as there only seemed to be about ten or so nobles, but that was good enough for me.

After looking about for a few minutes, I finally decided on the house, or I should say manor, that was the furthest distance away from every other noble, granting me the much-needed privacy; unless I wanted to kill every noble, and while that might end up happening anyways, I would prefer to do that after I've learned more about how this world operates.

Approaching the house in the distance, I thought about being silent in case, on the off chance, someone manages to escape, but after doing a quick sweep of the place, I realized that wouldn't happen as there was no one decently powerful; if there were someone here that my senses didn't manage to pick up, that most likely meant they were stronger than me, so there would be no reason for them to run away.

While just above the manor, with a feral grin, I shot straight toward the mansion below me and crashed into it, only stopping myself just before I slammed into the solid ground. Dusting my clothes off while dodging the falling debris, I waited for the residents to awaken from their slumber to check on the sudden noise I had created.

It didn't take long for the guards to appear as they quickly surrounded and started yelling at me the moment they noticed me; the servants were the next to arrive, followed by what I assumed were the owners of this place and their two children. While the guards were slowly approaching me with their weapons at the ready, I closed my eyes to enhance my other senses, making sure the people present were everyone.

'I can't smell or hear anyone else, so this must be everyone. Aren't I lucky?' Thought Diddy while grinning as he opened his eyes and, without so much of a warning, attacked the several guards surrounding him.

The guard's armor did little to protect them; my nails simply sliced right through their iron as I killed them, coating my nails red in their blood. When their lifeless corpses dropped to the ground, everyone erupted into a panic, causing chaos, which I very much enjoyed the sight of.

"Causing chaos is fun, but it's not that fun when everyone is just a bunch of normal humans." Muttered Diddy blandly as he quickly started dashing through the sea of unorganized humans, killing them all swiftly in one attack.

Once I had finished killing all of the servants, which left a pile of corpses while creating a potent smell of blood and iron, causing me to smile as I chased after the remaining five people that had managed to escape the slaughter.

Dashing through the halls of the manor as I followed their scent of fear; when I caught up to them, I saw the plump man holding the little girl as he ran right beside the women and young boy while the last servant followed right behind them; I don't know whether they heard me or not, but as I approached them, they all happened to look back, allowing me to view their terrified expression.

"G-Go ahead, Master and Mistress Voyage; I-I'll hold the monster off!" Said the servant with a hardened expression while gritting her teeth as she stopped running and turned around to face the incoming Diddy.

"Vanessa!" Yelled Kaitlyn with teary eyes as she wanted to tell her to stop, but when she saw her children, she continued running.

"Come here, you beast!!" Yelled Vanessa as she eyed Diddy, though the last thing she saw before her death was sharp red nails.

'Three remaining.' Thought Diddy while running right past the decapitated corpse.

After killing the servant, I swiftly caught up to them, appearing before them, blocking their path, and forcing them to come to a halt as they started to retreat fearfully.

"T-Take our daughter and ru-" Said the husband as he attempted to hand over the little girl to Kaitlyn, though he was interrupted as his head fell from his body while the little girl in his hands was sliced in two, causing Kaitlyn to scream in grief while the young boy fainted from shock.

"Ugh, shut up! You're annoying!" Remarked Diddy as he backhanded Kaitlyn, embedding her into the wall.

Since I had killed the little girl, I figured I might as well kill the young boy too, not like there was any reason to keep him alive; I only needed one of the adults, and since the husband was dead, it would be the woman.

After killing the boy, I approached the woman who was sobbing as she attempted to crawl to the boy I had just killed; blocking her path, she looked up at me and eyed me full of unbridled hate through her teary eyes.

"This is my house, now." Stated Diddy with a feral grin as he squatted down and eyed Kaitlyn

"… And that's how I discovered the devil fruit." Said Diddy with a smirk as he finished recounting the story while eyeing Freyja, who had long since transformed into her hideous monster form and was breathing heavily, though she didn't move a muscle other than eyeing Diddy in anger and hate.
