Chapter 260: Paramount War

After our final clash with Akainu, the Frenzy and Whitebeard pirates eventually managed to escape from Marineford, and thanks to Pandemonium, we weren't pursued; after all, good luck finding a submarine to do so, let alone one that's fast and agile enough. As for the forty or so allies of the Whitebeard pirates, roughly only half managed to escape, but that is merely counting their ship, not how many people were actually on the ship, though the same could be said for the Whitebeard pirates.

They had a total of six ships at Marineford, but only two had managed to leave, which just goes to show how many casualties the Whitebeard pirates sustained. It's estimated that on the Pirate's side, roughly forty-thousand pirates had been killed, while the Marines had captured another five thousand, and if we go by how many men the Marines had, the pirates lost nearly half of their forces to the Marines, yet in the grand scheme of things, it was a massive win in the eyes of pirates worldwide.

One pirate crew managed to go toe-to-toe with the Marines, and although they would've lost if it were a battle to the death, their goal was merely to save Ace, and they managed to do just that; this was a pathetic display for the marines, and it's even worse since apparently the entire war was being broadcasted across pretty much the whole world, so who knows how many tens of millions of people had watched the Paramount War?

However, what was truly the nail in the coffin, just before Whitebeard died, he spoke about the One Piece, which caused a worldwide frenzy, and coupled with the Whitebeard pirates succeeding in their objective at the Marine's Homebase, it ushered in what was called the Great Pirate Age. It was known as the Second Great Pirate Age, as Gol D. Roger, the First Pirate King, ushered in the first Great Pirate Age, and what Whitebeard did was add fuel to the burning fire, though it wasn't a little bit of fuel but barrels of gasoline.

Surprisingly, regarding Whitebeard's death, he didn't die to the Marines; no, he was killed by his former crewmate, Marshal D. Teach, also known as Blackbeard, and his crew, though not before slashing his chest, leaving him with a nasty diagonal scar across his body. However, Blackbeard did something thought impossible; after killing Whitebeard, he did something to his corpse and somehow gained his devil fruit powers, which now means Blackbeard has two devil fruit abilities, something that was believed to be impossible.

It honestly kind of annoyed me that Blackbeard got to kill him and not me, but it was fine; I'd kill him in the future, seeing as he managed to escape from Marineford.

"THE ONE PIECE… IS REAL!!" Yelled Whitebeard loudly, his voice echoing through the desolate plaza while Akainu, Sengoku, Kizaru, Aokiji, Blackbeard, and his crew all gazed upon him.

Reaching forward, I turned off the transponder snail, causing the image of Whitebeard to vanish while the snail essentially went to sleep, prompting me to lean back in my seat and gaze at the ceiling.

"Tsk, I should've been there." Muttered Diddy softly in annoyance, his words causing Freyja, who was sitting beside him, to roll her eyes.

"Hmph, well, you could've always stayed; you would've just been one of the many corpses strewn about on the ground." Said Freyja with a scoff as she turned and eyed Diddy, who grunted while ignoring her.

"Hoho, you saw how powerful Whitebeard and the Admirals were, Captain; you wouldn't have even been able to get close." Remarked Sebas lightly as he read the newspaper while glancing at Diddy, who scoffed before suddenly grinning.

"Look at what you did, Father; you got him thinking about something crazy." Said Scar lightly as he sharpened his dagger while glancing between Diddy and Sebas, who promptly chuckled with a nod.

"Hmph, as if Sebas caused anything; Captain is almost always thinking about something crazy." Stated Mael deeply as he opened one eye and glanced at the four before folding his arms, only for frost to suddenly emit from his left.

"Captain is very crazy, though I like it." Said the woman lightly with a faint smirk as she glanced at Mael, who merely grunted in annoyance.

"No offense, Chala, but I feel like you're undermining how crazy Captain could be; you've only been alive for like a few days. I think you should spend more time with Captain before saying things like that." Said Trenza as she raised her head and glanced at Chala, who shook her head before tapping her skull.

"I-I can remember a little from before I fell into a coma; I could also hear you guys when I was still inside of my egg." Replied Chala lightly as she eyed Trenza, who raised an eyebrow before nodding, only for Grand's loud voice to echo.

"Hahaha, well, that's not good for you, Trenza; after all, she must've heard you when you killed her father." Stated Grand with boisterous laughter, his words causing Trenza to freeze as she nervously glanced at Chala before furiously eyeing him.

"Grand. Shut. Up." Said Trenza through gritted teeth as she pointed her pistol at Grand, threatening to shoot him with rubber bullets, though he merely laughed.

"It's fine; I couldn't care less about my father. He essentially created me by combining different beasts with my body, and because of that, I strongly believe in the law of the jungle. He was weak, so it was only natural for him to be killed by someone stronger." Remarked Chala lightly as she gently shook her head and glanced down at her toned body before rubbing her white horns.

"So then, you only like Captain because he's the strongest?" Asked Janet with a raised eyebrow as she glanced at Chala, who tilted her head before nodding while looking at Diddy. 

"Heh, I quite like her. Chala, make sure to get strong so I can replace you with Freyja as the Vice-captain." Added Diddy with a feral grin as he eyed Chala, who nodded with her own feral smile while shifting her gaze to Freyja.

"Speaking of you, Chala, why the hell are you not wearing any clothes? I thought I was the Frenzy Pirates nudist." Asked Freyja curiously as she eyed Chala, glancing at her moderate-sized breasts, toned torso, six-pack, faintly defined leg muscles, and butt.

"Because beasts don't wear clothes." Replied Chala, her words causing Freyja to open her mouth before she nodded and sighed.

"Haa, I can't argue against that logic; then I might as well as get naked too." Muttered Freyja lightly as she stood up and removed her clothes in one swift motion, causing her voluptuous breasts and thick butt to spill forth, causing everyone except Diddy and Chala to take a few glances.

"Tsk, stop staring; you guys have seen it several times already." Said Diddy as he glanced at Sebas, Scar, Grand, Mael, Janet, and Trenza.

"B-But, she's the most beautiful woman in the world, Captain." Said Trenza lightly with a deep blush as she looked at Diddy before gesturing to Freyja, who smirked while sitting, causing her jiggling breasts to hypnotize Grand and Scar.

"Hehe, don't hate the player, Diddy; hate the game; not everyone can be as beautiful as me." Said Freyja with a smirk as she leaned closer to Diddy and whispered into his ear, causing him to grunt in annoyance.

"Tsk, don't use one of my fucking quotes against me; besides, if it weren't because I fed you the devil fruit, you would've stayed as an average-looking milf for the rest of your life." Remarked Diddy with a click of his tongue as he gave Freyja a side glance, though she simply smirked.

"Oh please, if that's the case, why don't you just show everyone what I used to look like? Go ahead; I urge you to do so. Oh, wait, you don't have a picture of me from back then, never mind then." Stated Freyja with a wicked smirk as she puffed out her already voluptuous chest, causing several audible gulps to sound out.

"Hoho, I've just finished Freyja. I've shown everyone what you used to look like, and I must say, Captain was correct; you were quite average-looking." Said Sebas with a soft chuckle as he fixed his tie and glanced at Freyja, whose expression stiffened.

"Hmph, you're being generous, Sebas, she's ugly, I wouldn't even rape her." Declared Mael, with a disgusted expression, his words causing Freyja to scoff as she folded her arms.

"Hmph, I can tell you're lying; I'm not a one-trick pony; I've got more than one haki." Remarked Freyja as she eyed Mael, who clicked his tongue before closing his eyes, causing her to smirk.

"Eh, well, I-I'm not lying, but you're not exactly attractive, Freyja." Said Scar with a wry expression, causing Freyja to pout as she looked at him.

"Heh, good job learning observation haki, Freyja. It seems my vice-captain isn't as slow as I thought." Said Diddy with a feral smirk, his words causing Freyja to stab him with her elongated nails, yet he simply coated his neck in haki.

"You're haki isn't strong enough." Added Diddy with an unconcerned smile as he eyed Freyja, who was trying to stab him with her black fingers, which had been coated in haki, yet she wasn't able to penetrate his neck.

"Tsk, fucker." Muttered Freyja in annoyance as she retracted her nails and folded her arms.

"Now then, Sebas, Mael, you two had better made some fucking improvements in regards to haki; I can't have my second and third mate falling so far behind." Declared Diddy as his neck returned to normal while he eyed Mael and Sebas.
