Chapter 212: Base Building

"Do you have a three?" Asked Sebas lightly as he turned to his left and looked at Mael, who promptly frowned before handing Sebas one of his cards, followed by him putting both cards on the table.

"Tsk, how does he only have one card left? Someone clearly isn't playing correctly. Mael, you got a nine?" Remarked Diddy in slight annoyance as he floated on Nimbus, sitting opposite Sebas and to the left of Mael while looking at the nine cards in his hand.

"Go, Sea King." Replied Mael lightly with a faint smirk, causing Diddy to grunt in annoyance before picking up another card from the deck using his tail while grumbling under his breathing.

"Yeah, I wonder who that could be, Diddy; I suppose it couldn't be the person who has ten cards in their hands; that would be a ridiculous assumption. Also, can I have your nine?" Stated Freyja sarcastically as she held four cards in her hand while glancing at Diddy, only to smirk towards the end, causing him to growl in annoyance.

"Go, Sea King." Said Diddy as he glanced at Freyja, who snorted before outstretching her hand toward Diddy.

"Hmph, stop lying; you just asked Mael for a nine. I know you got one; you either play the game correctly or don't play it at all." Remarked Freyja in slight annoyance as she stared daggers at Diddy, who grunted in frustration before aggressively tossing the card to Freyja, turning it into a bullet, though she easily caught it between her fingers.

"Thank you." Said Freyja with a slight, happy smile as she tossed three cards on the pile, which were all nines, causing Diddy to growl while Mael grunted.

"Hoho, I never knew you were so good at Go Sea King, Freyja." Commented Sebas with a raised eyebrow and a slight chuckle as he looked at Freyja, as she proudly flipped her hair behind her ear.

"Whenever my son was done with his studies, I'd always play against him; he hasn't once against me once. So, how about allowing this poor Mother to win? I'll reward you properly." Replied Freyja with a smirk as she glanced at Sebas before winking at him with her luscious eyelashes, causing him to faintly chuckle while apologetically shaking his head.

"Hoho, I understand your circumstance, Freyja, but I used to play Go Sea King against Trenza, Grand, and Scar when they were younger, and none of them have managed to beat me; I must keep up the image that I'm invincible, lest start challenging my spot as the king of Go Sea King; I apologize beforehand. Captain, do you have a five?" Remarked Sebas lightly as he looked at Freyja before reminiscing his past, only to shake his head and firmly stand his ground, causing Freyja to sigh before nodding while he turned and looked at Diddy.

Before I could respond to Sebas, the door to the lounge suddenly was busted open as Grand, Scar, and Trenza entered the room while the former carried with him a large dude who was missing a leg and a hand, though they were by no means recent considering his peg-leg and hook.

"Hahaha! We raided those pirates so easily!" Stated Grand with a loud, boisterous laugh as he tossed the unconscious man onto the ground before sitting on a couch, which they stole from the previous island, along with nearly every single piece of furniture in the place.

"Yeah, it wasn't even hard. The Captain ranted how he had a bounty fo 62,000,000 Beri's, but in the end, they were rather weak pirates." Said Scar lightly as he took off his hat and sat beside Grand, only for Freyja to quickly forget about the game they were playing and arrive near him, only to sit on his lap with her large, bubbly ass.

"Heh, you should've seen them! They were already scared shitless when they saw pandemonium, yet when they looked at me, I even made one of them faint! Heh, I might have that color for the supreme king or whatever you call it, Captain; you better watch out because I might decide to come for the Captain's spot!" Declared Trenza joyfully and proudly as she approached the table, glancing at the three, only to arrogantly rub her nose while looking at Diddy, who suddenly stood before her.

"What did you say, Trenza?" Asked Diddy with a feral grin as lightning chaotically danced around his body, zapping the walls, floor, ceiling, and the table behind him, burning all the cards while frightening Trenza.

"I-I was merely joking, Captain; I-I wouldn't do something stupid like that, b-besides, y-your shouldn't even feel so threatened; I-I'm not a threat to you in the first place. I-I'm just a harmless woman who can do nothing without her pistol." Replied Trenza meekly as she hung her head down while standing before Diddy, who smirked before restraining his lightning and nodding.

"Heh, good; it would be pointless to make an example out of the weakest one here." Said Diddy with a smirk as he glanced at Trenza before pushing her out of the way, only to groan in annoyance when he glanced at Scar and Freyja, the two back to doing sexy things in the open.

"If you're going to have sex in the open, at least do it on the fucking floor! If I sit down on that couch and my tail ever touches cum or pussy juice, one of you is dying." Stated Diddy angrily as he glared at Freyja and Scar, the former nodding in annoyance as she picked up Scar and laid him on the ground, only to continue what they were previously doing.

Watching them do it on the floor, I was annoyed at the fact that they've done it so much out in the open that it's become somewhat normalized; no one is even really bothering with them. Sure, we take some glances, but that's about it; well, Grand and Trenza will be heading towards their room later to masturbate, but that's in the future, not the present.

'Hmph, fine, you've won, but I will not be budging on the sex in the kitchen or on furniture that's not in either of your rooms.' Thought Diddy in irritation as he glanced at Freyja and Scar before huffing in annoyance and walking past them, leaving the lounge.

"Welp, there goes our game of Go Sea King; I was definitely going to win." Said Mael in annoyance as he dropped his cards onto the table while Sebas gave him a blank look before sighing and keeping his mouth shut lest he accidentally speak his mind.

Walking down the halls of our ship, base, mansion? I don't know what it would be technically called, but it's out base atop Pandy's back; thanks to Freyja's sex slaves and Sebas's own slaves, which are roughly around two hundred people in total, it only took two days for the entire first floor of the base to be completely finished. You'd think, given how quickly they built a base on the side of a large mansion on the back of Pandy, that everything would be somewhat flimsy, but nope, it was all very sturdy; even our ship wasn't nearly as sturdy as this.

"Hmm, what wood did they use? It must've been pretty damn good wood." Muttered Diddy as he lightly punched the wall, leaving behind not even a dent.

Currently, it's been about five days since we left the island, and the slaves are working on the second story to the base, which will only consist of three stories in total; any more than that, and Mony won't be able to quickly coil his body around the base when Pandy submerges underwater. That is actually our secret plane of escape; if things ever get too hairy, Mony will tightly coil himself around our base, protecting us from the crushing pressure of the ocean's water. With how fast Pandy can get underwater, we'll be long gone within a matter of minutes.

'Heh, Pandemonium is without a doubt the greatest crew member. How could anyone top him/her?' Mused Diddy with a faint smirk as he exited the base, stepping outside and gazing up at Mony, who was peacefully swimming through the calm seas without having to constantly worry about attacks from Sea Kings.

Glancing above, I spotted the numerous slaves hard at work building, which had got me thinking it might not be a bad idea to have a whole bunch of weaklings come aboard my ship so they could upkeep the base and whatnot, considering we had only been sailing using our old ship for roughly three and a half months and it was already beginning to fall apart.

"Hmm, it's not a terrible idea; I just dislike the idea of so many weaklings aboard the ship. I'll think about it later." Muttered Diddy with a faint frown and a thoughtful expression as he walked across Pandy's shell, only to shake his head and shrug his shoulders.

Approaching Mony, who was resting on the back of Pandy's shell, I hit him on his nose using Naga-sa, causing him to snap his massive eyes open and glare at me in anger, only for his anger to instantly vanish when he realized it was me.

"How far away are we from the next island? We've been sailing for five days straight without a single island in sight." Asked Diddy with a slight frown as he looked at Mony, who raised his head and looked in the same direction Pandy was swimming, only to turn towards Diddy and nod his gigantic head.
