Chapter 184: Returning to Paradise

"So Captain, do tell; how do you expect us to return to Paradise?" Asked Freyja sarcastically as she steered the ship while sailing across the sea clouds, heading in a random direction with nothing in sight except for the clear sky and the seemingly endless expanse of white.

"Why don't you use your brain a little, Freyja? We're sailing on a cloud, and clouds aren't infinite; they have an end somewhere, so all we must do is find that end and then fall back down to Paradise. It's so simple even a child could figure it out, but I supposed that head of yours is filled with nothing but sex." Replied Diddy, hanging upside down on the mast from his tail while crossing his arms as he glanced at Freyja, who scoffed in annoyance.

"Tsk, yeah, a baby monkey maybe; I highly doubt a human child is that stupid." Said Freyja with a click of her tongue as she glanced at Diddy, who smirked, though since he was upside down, it looked like a frown.

"Heh, a Human's stupidity knows no bounds; isn't that right, Sebas." Remarked Diddy with a smirk as he looked at Freyja before glancing at Sebas, who sat calmly in the corner while sorting through various dials.

"Hoho, I wish I could refute your claim, but alas, far too many times have I seen someone do something and think it's impossible to do something stupider, only for someone to come and prove me wrong." Stated Sebas with a chuckle and a wry expression as he shook his head before focusing back on the dials, causing Freyja to grumble angrily while Diddy grinned in triumph.

"Hehe, now that I think about it, you're the definition of a human, Freyja. Lustful and stupid, that pretty much summarizes humans; after all, you couldn't even go a single day without speaking about sex." Declared Diddy mockingly with a grin as he looked at Freyja, who glared back while reddish flames escaped from her mouth.

"Another word and I'll capsize this fucking ship." Stated Freyja angrily as she eyed Diddy, who simply laughed in response, though to her surprise, he did restrain himself.

Chuckling to myself, I ignored Freyja; now that we were on our way to return to Paradise, I didn't need to antagonize her right now since she wouldn't hesitate to stab me in the back if we happened to encounter some marines.

'Heh, well, she'll still backstab me, but at least she'll hesitate and think whether it's worth it or not, which will give me valuable time.' Mused Diddy with a smirk as he latched onto the mast and climbed up towards the crow's nest, only to find Trenza curled in a ball, sleeping.

Seeing Trenza peacefully sleeping, I don't know why, but I couldn't help but stare at her for several minutes; it was weird since while I looked at her, I felt calm and peaceful; I had even dropped my guard slightly, though, when I finally snapped out of my daze, the calmness and peace vanished while I upped my guard once more.

'Hmm, weird.' Mused Diddy with a slight frown as he tilted his head in confusion while looking at Trenza before shaking his head and continuing toward the peak of the mast.

Ignoring whatever happened with Trenza, I stood on the top of the mast and looked out at sea, hoping to find some sort of end, though all I saw was the endless white sea of clouds in all directions.

'This must end, eventually, right?' Thought Diddy skeptically as he observed his surroundings before sitting down, resting Naga-sa on his lap while Nimbus emerged from his body, floating beside him.

Well, my theory was correct; the sea of clouds did eventually end, but that was only after several more hours of sailing, which I had spent mostly training with Naga-sa and Nimbus.

Feeling a strong gust of wind, I glanced upwards, only to see the familiar bright blue ocean in the distance; granted, it was several kilometers away, but still, we had finally found a way to escape. Grinning, I stood up, holstering Naga-sa and absorbing Nimbus as I latched my feet onto the master since we were about to sail off the edge of the sea of clouds.

"Hold on tight!" Yelled Diddy loudly in excitement, his words confusing everyone while awakening Trenza from her slumber.

"Haa, that was a good nap, though I'd prefer if I wasn't awoken by your yelling, Ca-AHHHHH!" Said Trenza with a yawn as she stood up and glanced at Diddy before looking in front of her, only to widen her eyes while screaming in fear.

The moment we sailed off the clouds, we started falling towards the blue ocean beneath us while Trenza screamed in fear as she held onto the crow's nest for dear life, though everyone else was doing fine. Grand was shouting loudly in excitement; Scar was quietly sitting at the helm with Freyja on his lap while she was keeping them both firmly in place; Sebas was the same, and Mael was inside the ship.

"Wooohooo!" Yelled Grand enthusiastically as he anchored himself to the ship using his feet while flailing his arms in the air.

"H-How long is this fall?" Asked Scar as he glanced at Grand and Trenza before looking at Freyja, who was sitting on his lap.

"Don't know, but it should be a minute or so; we're quite high up." Replied Freyja lightly with a nod as she rested her head on Scar's shoulder, only to unzip his pants and grab his crotch.

"Let's see whether we hit the ocean or you ejaculate first; if you win, I'll do anything you say for an entire day." Added Freyja with a lustful grin as she started stroking Scar's member while kissing his neck, causing him to grunt in pleasure.

"A spectacular view, if I do say so myself." Said Sebas lightly with a nod as he calmly sat and drank tea while looking out into the beautiful blue ocean.

"Heh, how are you enjoying yourself, Trenza?" Asked Diddy with a smirk as he looked down at Trenza, who was barely holding on anymore.

"I-I hate i-it!" Replied Trenza while tears threatened to stream down her eyes as she continued screaming the whole way down while Diddy laughed in amusement.

For the next minute, we continued to fall through the sky; eventually, though, we neared the ocean, and just when we were about to smash against the ocean at what was probably terminal velocity, we suddenly came to a halt, causing Tranza and Grand to slam against the crow's nest and ship's deck respectively.

"Haha, let's go again!" Yelled Grand excitedly as he raised his fists while lying on the deck.

"O-Ouch." Said Trenza painfully while sitting upside down, resting on her head.

"You could've been more gentle, Sebas." Said Freyja with a slight frown as she eyed Sebas, who chuckled softly while lowering his hand, causing the boat to slowly descend until it floated atop the water.

Landing on the deck from the mast, I leaned over the ship's railing and looked down at the ocean, flashing myself a smirk as I eyed my reflection before turning and looking at Freyja, who just happened to finish giving Scar a handjob.

"Stop with the sex stuff and start sailing; we've got places to be and people to kill." Said Diddy with a frown as he looked at Freyja, who licked her hands clean before begrudgingly nodding.

"Hmph, alright, alright; lower the sails, let's get going." Remarked Freyja in annoyance as she kissed Scar before shooing him off, prompting him and Grand to follow her orders and lower the sails

While the two lowered the sails, I suddenly frowned before quickly leaping overboard and diving under the ship, just in time to stop a large sea king from capsizing our boat by kicking it back. Eyeing probably the biggest sea king I've come across, I smirked before unholstering Naga-sa off my back and kicking the water beneath my feet, launching my towards the beast as I violently slammed Naga-sa against its head, creating a large explosion in the water, causing all the water to momentarily disperse before quickly returning.

Facing off against this sea king, I furrowed my brows and glanced to the right, only to spot another sea king, and from the looks of it, it seemed to be slightly bigger than the one I was fighting; however, to my astonishment, a third one appeared, followed by a fourth, than fifth, sixth, seventh, until eventually my ship and I were completely surrounded by roughly thirty different sea kings.

'I don't study the life of a sea king, but this far from normal; why the hell are there so many sea kings present?' Mused Diddy with a faint frown as he eyed the numerous sea kings, looking at them with their giant eyes the same size as his ship.

Eyeing the numerous sea kings, I was far from nervous; I was quite excited since each one of these sea kings was stronger than any I'd ever encountered before, so I knew this was going to be one hell of a fight. Firmly gripping Naga-sa, I summoned Nimbus and held it in my other hand while sparks of lightning danced around it as I grinned at the sea kings.

"Hehe, c'mon, I've been itching to test Nimbus seriously, and I couldn't have asked for better cannon fodder."Declared Diddy with a massive, bloodthirsty grin as he faced the thirty sea kings before lunging towards the closet with chaotic laughter.
