Laughing in joy, I was about to lunge towards Linlin, though before I could, I sensed the seven children charging towards me from behind, causing me to click my tongue in annoyance as I clenched my fist while it cackled with lightning.
"Tsk, stay out of this; the adults are talking!" Stated Diddy sternly as he punched the air, creating a massive lighting wall extending far into the sky, preventing the Seraphim from reaching the battle.
Grunting in annoyance, I ignored the seven children and shifted my focus to my six enemies, only to see Whitebeard lunging for me, brandishing his naginata while covering it in a white glowing sphere, causing me to grin.
"So you can use your devil fruit? Hahahahah, perfect!" Remarked Diddy with a feral grin as he pushed off the ground, speedily dashing towards Whitebeard.
Leaping into the air, I clenched my bo-staff, and once again, our weapons clashed, though this time, it was far more destructive than before; lightning was dispersed everywhere, and what felt like the whole world was trembling.
"Naginata Rasetsu!" "Beastly Incursion!" Yelled Whitebeard and Diddy, respectively, as their haki violently clashed, distorting the very area around them.
"Hehehe, this is what I expect from the former Strongest Man!" Yelled Diddy with a feral grin as he stared into Whitbeards eyes, only for his haki to increase in intensity.
"... But, it's not enough!" Said Diddy with a ferocious grin as he flexed his muscles, overpowering Whitebeard before flinging him into the distance.
"Xebahahaha, don't hurt my former Crewmate!" Remarked Rocks with a feral grin as he outstretched his hands, causing blackish miasma to erupt from his hands while ethereal soul-like creatures escaped.
"Ugh, that devil fruit; I never thought I'd see it again." Muttered Shiki lightly with an unsightly expression as he glanced at Rocks, who waved his hands at Diddy, creating a massive wave of blackish miasma.
"Deaths Wave!" Yelled Rocks as the blackish miasma surged towards Diddy, growing in size and strength while ethereal souls escaped into the air, only to slowly dissipate.
Looking at the approaching miasma, I noted how similar it was to Death's; however, it wasn't nearly as potent. Rocks' was more like a watered-down version if I were to compare the two, which only makes sense; after all, how could a living being wield the power of death?
'Heh, but if Death itself couldn't take me, what hope does this weaker version have?' Thought Diddy with a ferocious smile as he clenched his bo-staff with both hands while it dangerously cackled with lightning.
"Beastly Thunder!" Said Diddy as he swung his bo–staff at the incoming miasma, launching hundreds of lightning bolts that burned it, causing it to dissipate into the air.
"Hehehehe, you'll have to do better than that!" Added Diddy with a grin as he landed on the ground before leaning forward and hopping in the air, dodging two attacks from Shiki before spinning and smacking him with his tail.
Landing a single foot on the ground, I swung my bo-staff at the incoming sword, blocking the attack from the former King of the Pirates, only to lick my fangs as I used my other hand to stop Linlins fist from hitting me. However, I wasn't finished as Shanks came in from behind, prompting me to use my foot to knock his sword slightly off balance before grabbing his hilt, stopping him dead in his tracks.
"Heh, I see why they brought all five of us back from the dead." "Tch, Kong is a monster among monsters; you saw how easily he took care of one Rocks's attack." Said Roger and Linlin, respectively, as they continued to struggle against Diddy's strength, though he, too, was reaching his limit.
'Heh, this is getting difficult.' Thought Diddy with a smirk as he resisted the strength of two Emperors of the Sea and one Pirate King, a feat that no one but him could ever achieve.
"Shihahaha, keep him there, you three!" Stated Shiki with a smirk, glancing at Diddy as he raised his hand in the air, causing the ground to open violently while various debris floated into the sky.
Looking at Shiki, I raised an eyebrow as I watched him create a massive figure of a lion's head using the debris he had floated into the air.
"Oi, you're going to hit us with that attack!" "We're already dead, so does it really matter? Shishi Odoshi!" "I'm still living, and I'd prefer it stayed that way." Remarked Linlin, Shiki, and Shanks, respectively, as the latter's expressions violently twitched.
While the three were speaking, I whipped my tail at Roger, violently hitting the air in front of him as I sent him flying using Geppo; with my bo-staff free, I swung it at Shanks, who had enough time to block it with his sword, while I also freed my leg as I kicked Linlin's fist into the ground.
"Heh, it must really suck for you; you're going to be killed twice by the same person. Couldn't be me." Remarked Diddy lightly as he ran up Linlins arm, only to knee her into the face before leaping off her body, flying right for the approaching lion's head.
With a smirk, I entered the open maw of the lion's head, only for it to shut behind me, isolating me in the dark.
"Shihahaha, I got him!" "Tch, as if you fool! You think that's going to be enough to stop Kong!?" Exclaimed Linlin in annoyance as she eyed Shiki, only for Whitebeard to be seen flying through the sky, approaching the lion's head.
With a swing of my bo-staff and an explosion of lightning, I destroyed the lion's head, though I was promptly met with Whitebeards Naginata, causing me to narrow my eyes as I reeled my head back.
"Wahahahahaha, is he really about to do what I think he's going to do!?" Exclaimed Roger with boisterous laughter as he looked at Diddy, who slammed his head forward, meeting Whitebeard's blade with merely his head.
"Gurarararara, I'll split your skull!" Stated Whitebeard with a wicked grin as he squeezed his naginata while channeling the power of his devil fruit into his weapon, causing Diddy's body to tremble.
"Hahaha, do it!" Replied Diddy with a feral grin as he pushed even harder, seemingly wanting Whitebeard to actually split his skull.
"Achilles Arrow!" Said Rocks as he manifested a javelin from the blackish miasma before launching it at Diddy.
Sensing the incoming attack, I quickly reeled my head back before slamming it against Whitebeard's blade, giving me enough time to narrowly dodge the javelin that would've pierced my chest.
'Heh, what comes around goes around.' Mused Diddy with a faint smirk as he quickly grabbed the javelin, using one of his seventy-two Bian to redirect the attack back toward Rocks, who slightly widened his eyes.
"Xebahahaha, the saying is true; every opponent will teach you something different!" Said Rocks with a smirk as he stepped to the side, dodging the javelin, which burrowed over a mile into the Redline.
Punching Whitebeard's weapon to the side, I landed on the shaft before violently hitting him in the face, causing him to spit out some blood.
"Heh, is that all you've got you pipsqueak brat!?" Exclaimed Whitebeard provokingly as he looked at Diddy, who merely smiled in response.
Pushing off the Nagina, I circulated lightning through my nervous system and swiftly appeared beside Whitebeard as I grabbed him by the face before kicking the air above us and speedily pushing us into the Redline. However, I wasn't able to follow up my attack as Shiki, Linlin, and Shanks attacked me, forcing me to leap out of the way lest I wished to attempt to block their attacks, which I'd preferred not to do unless I had to, besides, it would've left me open for another attack.
"So, have we learned not to provoke the super-powerful Mink?" Asked Roger lightly as he squatted on the edge of the crater where Whitebeard motionlessly lay.
"Shut it, Roger!" Said Whitebeard with a grin as he stood up while spitting out blood, causing Roger to laugh, only for Linlin to be sent flying into him.
"Hahaha, stop talking, more fighting!" Yelled Diddy with a grin as he wildly swung his bo-staff, launching hundreds of sharp wind blades in all directions, using one of his seventy-two Bian to further increase his speed with each attack.
"Xebahahaha, this generation is crazy! I love it!" Stated Rocks with a grin as he fearlessly continued towards Diddy, either dodging, blocking, or destroying his attacks.

Digging my nails into the skull of one of the Holy Knights, I raised my head and looked into the distance where Diddy was fighting who knows how many enemies, though it was clearly a tough fight given the powerful haki I could feel emanating from that area.
"Who the hell is he fighting? They're all so strong." Muttered Freyja in confusion and curiosity as she crushed the fossilized skull of the old woman she had drained of vitality in mere seconds.
"Wororo, he's fighting my old crewmates." Said Kaido lightly with a faint smirk as he approached Freyja while looking toward where Diddy was.
"Your Old Crewmates? Linlin, Rocks, Whitebeard, and who else?" "Shiki. Golden Lion Shiki." Said Freyja and Kaido, respectively, as the former raised four fingers into the air before glancing at the latter.
"Hmm, aren't they dead?" Asked Freyja lightly as she glanced at Kaido, who laughed before nodding.
"Wororo, they're supposed to be. This world is weird." Remarked Kaido softly with a faint grin as he gazed at the rising wave of blackish miasma in the distance, only to shake his head.
