Chapter 315: Kaido & Diddy

While the Frenzy pirates and the Beast pirates were fighting down below, I landed on the top of the skull and glanced at Kaido in the distance, only to see him peacefully sitting and drinking alcohol while gazing at the rising sun, causing me to smirk as I approached him.

Once I neared Kaido, I sat beside him before snatching the cup out of his hands and taking a swig, only to spit it out in disgust while handing the gorge back to him, which he took without questions.

"Ugh, I don't know how the hell you people drink this; it doesn't even taste good. Besides, it negatively impacts your muscle growth by dehydrating you, which is something you desperately need if you want to grow stronger." Remarked Diddy blandly as he wiped his mouth while glancing at Kaido, who downed the cup in one gulp before tossing it far into the distance.

"It does taste terrible, but it helps me pass the boredom of every day." Replied Kaido lightly while tipsy as he looked at the sun in the distance before glancing at Diddy to his right.

"Hmph, yeah, I suppose there is that, though if you really want to pass the time, you should just fuck some women instead. Not only is it more enjoyable, it isn't detrimental to your muscles." Stated Diddy calmly with a nod as he leaned back and appreciated the rising sun with Kaido, the two looking like a pair of good friends.

"Tried that, even had a daughter, but the stupid woman broke after the first use and was barely able to give birth before dying." Replied Kaido lightly as he scoffed in annoyance before slamming his fist onto the skull, causing it to shake slightly while Diddy raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm, next time, just be more gentle; trust me, I know how annoying it can be, but in the end, it's still superior to drinking that tasteless alcohol. If you can't hold back, you'll just need to find a woman who can withstand your strength, though the only woman who comes to mind is…" Said Diddy as he nudged Kaido before folding his arm and closing his eyes, only for his face to turn ugly.

"…Linlin." Remarked Kaido, his words causing both him and Diddy to subconsciously shiver in disgust.

"I'd rather drink poison." Muttered Diddy with disgust as he spat on the ground while slightly shivering from such thoughts.

While trying to get the thought of sleeping with Linlin out of my imagination, I saw Kaido hand me something out from the corner of my eye, causing me to raise an eyebrow as I took the paper, only to widen my eyes when I looked at the woman.

"This… This is Linlin!? Fucking damn, she's hot as hell! Why the hell does she look like a blob of fat now?" Remarked Diddy in slight surprise as he stared at the picture of young Linlin before looking at Kaido, who nodded.

"Sweets and Childbirth." Replied Kaido as he grabbed the picture before placing it back in his pocket, causing Diddy to nod in agreement.

"Yeah, that'll do that to you, though speaking of children, maybe having one isn't a terrible idea. If they can grow to be as strong as me or even close to me, that would be amazing; the only problem is finding a suitable woman." Muttered Diddy with a thoughtful expression as he rubbed his chin with a faint smirk.

Creating my own future opponent wouldn't be a terrible idea; I just don't like it cause how long it'll take, not to mention I'll need to have a strong candidate since I can't just have any random woman giving birth to my future opponents, and while I adore Trenza, she's not the most optimal women, rather one of the last options if I'm being honest.

'Hmm, I mean, Linlin is an option, so is, ugh, F-Freyja, and Hancock…' Mused Diddy with an ugly expression as he violently shook his head, chasing away such thoughts.

While the idea wasn't bad, the execution seemed to be terrible; I refused under any conditions to put my dick anywhere near Freyja; as for Hancock, she's hardly a better option, and if you take into consideration the difference in physical attraction, Freyja might even be the better option.

'Wait, now that I think about it, aren't all of Linlins children of different races? Doesn't that mean…' Thought Diddy, only to shake his head again while scoffing.

"So, Kong, before we get started, why are you here? First, you fought against that bastard Blackbeard, then Linlin, and now, here you are; what do you want? To become King of the Pirates?" Asked Kadio calmly with narrowed eyes as he grabbed his kanabo while glancing at Diddy, who raised an eyebrow before chuckling.

"Hehe, King of the Pirates? I don't want such a stupid title; why would I want to be a king of anything; that just sounds boring." Replied Diddy with a shake of his head while chuckling, his words slightly surprising Kaido as he stood up, his large body completely towering over him.

"If it's not to become King of the Pirates, what is then?" Asked Kaido as he walked away while the wind began to intensify as if it were an omen to something else.

Standing up, I dusted my clothes and unholstered Naga-sa, resting it on my shoulder while glancing at Kaido, who just turned around after walking a certain amount.

"Hehehe, what is it?" Said Diddy with a smile as he chaotically laughed in joy.

"Because I want to have fun! Only when fighting strong opponents will I truly feel alive!" Yelled Diddy loudly with a ferocious smile as he gazed at Kaido while his body trembled in pure excitement.

Kaido seemed slightly taken aback by my response, yet it only took him a second to take a deep breath before releasing a mighty laugh, one that I knew all too well as it was the same type of laughter Chala and I had.

"Wororororo!!" Said Kaido with boisterous laughter as he covered his face while looking at the sky, only for him to ferociously smile at Diddy a second later.

"You're not Joy Boy; someone like you can't be him, but you might be even better than him." Added Kaido with a feral grin as he tightly clenched his kanabo while staring into Diddy's vertical slit eyes.

"Hehe, and you're the perfect opponent I've been looking for!" Remarked Diddy with a wild smirk as he swung Naga-sa, creating a violent gust of wind that seemed to silence everything around them.

While Kaido and I stared each other down, a slight rumble from the battle below caused the skull to shake, causing us to smile wildly as we attacked each other.

"THUNDER BAGUA!!" "BEASTLY INCURSION!!" Yelled Kaido and Diddy, respectively, as the two coated their weapons in both types of haki while rapidly lunging toward each other.

Speedily nearing each other, we violently swung our weapons, causing them to clash as an explosion of our haki caused the entire island to shake violently while we were locked in our stalemate, both of us grinning ear-to-ear as we stared each other down.

"Hahaha!" "​​Wororororo!" Said Diddy and Kaido, respectively, as they powerfully pushed against each other, their clashing haki causing the skull beneath them to crack.

With a final push, we were forced to separate, yet that didn't stop either of us as we lunged toward each other, attacking with nearly all our might; after barely dodging his first attack, I slammed my bo-staff onto his face, but befitting of his title as the strongest creature, he only took a step back before attacking once more.

Blocking his first attack, he continued to swing violently, forcing me to block each one before using one of my seventy-two bian as I redirected the force of his attack into my own attack, causing him to grunt while forcing him to take a few steps back. Taking advantage of this, I lunged forth and slammed Naga-sa down atop his head, yet right before it touched, I stopped, causing me to get hit in the face with Kaido's kanabo, which nearly sent me flying.

"Why did you stop?" Asked Kaido with a frown as he eyed Diddy, who dug his feet into the ground, stopping himself before chuckling.

"Because you're not dodging, that's why. You see, Kaido, I came here to enjoy a good fight and take that title as strongest creature from you; however, I can't proudly claim such a title if I don't beat the strongest creature in his own game." Replied Diddy with a faint smile as he gazed at Kaido while raising his arms to the side, confusing him.

"C'mon, hit me; I hit you twice, so it's only fair you hit me twice. If you don't do it, I will." Added Diddy with a feral grin, his words causing Kaido to laugh loudly before violently hitting him in the face without any hesitation.

Kaido's attack was no joke as I was forced to step back after taking his kanabo to the face, yet, once that was done, he backed away while his body slowly grew. A tail sprouted from his tailbone, purple scales covered his body, four smaller horns grew out of his skull, and his legs also changed to look more animalistic; all in all, he looked far more intimidating.

"Hehe, we're getting serious already?" Asked Diddy with a feral smile while he infused Nimbus with Naga-sa, only for it to violently spark with lightning.

Once we were both finished, we merely grinned before lunging towards each other once more, using all of our strength as we violently attacked while neither of us dodged any attacks, causing our weapons to be quickly coated in each other's blood; however, still, for not even a single moment did either of us stop smiling.

"Hahahahah!" "Wororororo!"
