Chapter 242: Marineford!

"Yeah, I guess. Can you make a copy of the copy?" Asked Diddy curiously as he rested Naga-sa on his legs while sitting atop Nimbus, flying right over the Gates of Justice and heading towards Marineford, which he didn't even know where it was.

"No, I unfortunately can't. Maybe in the future, but I can only make a copy from the original, and I can only make up to two copies right now; if I try to make a third, it'll quickly destabilize before poofing into a cloud of smoke. It's quite dramatic." Replied Janet lightly as she leaned against Diddy's back, using this chance to take a few pictures of Impel Downs, which looked worse for wear.

"Oh yeah, do you know where the war is going to take place?" Added Janet curiously as she turned around while stuffing the several photos in her pocket.

"Marineford." Said Diddy lightly as he suddenly stopped Nimbus, nearly causing Janet to fly off, though he grabbed her by the shirt.

"Marineford? I haven't been there, I wonder what it's like. So, do you know where it is at?" Asked Janet lightly as she fixed her shirt, hiding her breasts that plopped out before turning and looking at Diddy, who shook his head.

"Nope." Stated Diddy calmly, his words causing Janet's face to twitch before sighing.

"Haa, well, I kind of expected to hear that; I was just hoping I'd be proven wrong. So then, if we don't know where Impel Down is, how do we expect to get there?" Said Janet softly as she lowered her head and sighed, only for a razor-sharp nail to tap her head.

"You'll guide us. You've mentioned you've got incredible luck, so now it's time to prove it. Pick a direction, and I'll fly us there. Just know, if I happen to miss the war, I'll make the rest of your miserable life a tortuous hell." Declared Diddy with a smirk as he tapped Janet's head, causing her to point at herself before nervously gulping.

"A-Are you sure, Diddy? I don't think I can abuse an ethereal thing like luck. Why don't you use your senses or something? Trenza says they're super powerful." Remarked Janet nervously as she looked at Diddy, who shook his head before sighing.

"My senses, unfortunately, don't work like that either; when I first entered Paradise, I thought if worse comes to worst, I'd be able to sail through the islands using my senses, but it didn't take long for me to conclude that it was next to impossible. With how crazy the sea and weather can be, unless we happen to be really close to an Island, I won't be able to track it…" Stated Diddy with a click of his tongue as he folded his arm and closed his eyes, feeling incredibly annoyed that his acute senses he prided himself on had met their match.

"…Now, stop trying to evade my order, point us toward Marineford. If you do so, I'll somewhat ignore that fact you ate my devil fruit." Added Diddy with a shake of his head, only to slap Janet onto her two feet, causing her to inwardly groan, preparing for the inevitable.

"Haa, alright, just, if we don't make it to Marineford, it's partially your fault for relying on me, Diddy." Muttered Janet solemnly as she placed her hands on her hips and scoured the vicinity, searching for the correct direction.

'Alright, luck, don't fail me now!' Mused Janet slightly, only to suddenly freeze while looking in a certain direction.

"Haa! That way, Diddy! Marineford is that way! I hope!" Declared Janet with a hopeful smile, causing Diddy to chuckle as Nimbus began to fly speedily in the direction she pointed.

"Hehe, Marineford, here we come. Hopefully." Muttered Diddy with a feral grin, not knowing a single battleship full of escaped convicts was sailing behind him in the same direction.

Looking at the full might of the Marines from up above in the sky, I couldn't help but frown, finding it very hard that a single pirate would be capable of gathering enough people that amount to even half of the Marine's manpower.

"I understand he's Whitebeard, the strongest man alive, but still, this is ridiculous." Muttered Freyja with a slight frown as she floated high in the sky while flapping her bat-like wings.

"If I'm not mistaken, they have roughly 100,000 men stationed down there, excluding the Fleet Admiral, Admirals, and Seven Warlords of the Sea; who knows about those robotic Kuma's we fought against? They may even have a secret army of them hidden away somewhere." Remarked Sebas lightly as he hovered in the air beside Freyja, looking down at Marineford with a slightly troubled expression.

"For them to gather nearly all of their strength in preparation for this war, they must be really frightened of Whitebeard." Said Mael in a deep voice with a faint frown as he flapped his four angel-like wings, keeping him afloat beside Sebas, who nodded.

"The title of the Strongest man alive isn't for naught." Muttered Sebas softly, earning a nod from both Mael and Freyja.

"So, how much longer must we wait?" Asked Mael as he folded his arms while Freyja raised an eyebrow.

"Until the war starts or until Diddy arrives?" Asked Freyja lightly as she glanced at Mael, who snorted before nodding.

"No idea. The war will most likely start whenever Whitebeard decides to show himself, and as for Diddy, who fuck- Tch, never mind, speak of the devil, and he'll show himself." Remarked Freyja lightly with a shrug of her shoulders while shaking her head, only to suddenly snap her head to the left, sensing the arrival of Diddy, followed by Sebas shortly afterward.

"Hoho, well, would you look at that? It seems the Frenzy pirates aren't yet destined to be disbanded." Stated Sebas with a soft chuckle as he sensed Diddy through the use of his devil fruit, spotting a rapidly approaching mind that was not only very familiar but also too strong for him to enter.

"Oh, he's also brought along, Miss Janet, what a surprise." Added Sebas with a raised eyebrow.

"I think we should give Captain a Frenzy pirate welcome." Said Mael faintly while wisps of plasma erupted off his body, causing Freyja to smirk while Sebas chuckled.

"You know, now that Diddy has returned to occupy all of my hatred, I'm not that bothered by your guy's presence." Remarked Freyja with a smirk as fire escaped her mouth while her nails lengthed, turning razor sharp, only for them to be further strengthened by armament haki.

"Hmph and I've lost any desire to fight you; as irritating as it is to admit, you're currently stronger than both of us. You've proven that over the last month, though just know it won't stay that way for long; I don't like the idea of being weaker than someone who does nothing but have sex." Stated Mael with a scoff as he unfolded his arms and grabbed his golden axe off his back, eyeing Freyja in annoyance, who blew him a kiss.

"Hehe, just call me whenever you want, Mael; I'll service you real good with my mouth." Said Freyja with a smirk as she imitated sucking a cock with her mouth and hand while her unnaturally long tongue licked the air, causing Mael to grunt before looking away, unknowingly causing tens of thousands of men down below to get an erection.

"Hoho!" Muttered Sebas with an amused chuckle as he glanced between Freyja and Mael.

Even before I spotted our destination, I had sensed Freyja far off in the distance, and shortly afterward, after flying through the sky for a few hours, I saw Marineford appear behind the horizon, causing me to grin in joy.

"Hehe, looks like you'll get to live." Said Diddy with a smirk as he stood up and stretched his body, having just awoken from a much-needed nap, before glancing at Janet, who was sleeping to his right.

Although I hadn't slept as long as I would've liked, I'm in tip-top shape, well, except for my missing arm and tail, but there is nothing I can do about that in such a short time frame; I'm already lucky I got time to sleep.

'Though speaking of Freyja, if she's here, heh, yep, I can see them through my haki; Mael and Sebas are also there. Though I wonder where Scar, Trenza, Grand, and Pandemonium are.' Mused Diddy lightly as he ascended higher into the sky, reaching the same height as his fellow crewmates.

As I neared Freyja, Mael, and Sebas, they suddenly charged toward me, causing me to smirk as I grabbed Naga-sa and coated it in a thick layer of lightly before chucking a large lightning bolt at Freyja, who used her haki-clad hands to slash it in half.

"Hehe, what a welcome party; I couldn't ask for anything better!" Stated Diddy with a grin as he leaped off of Nimbus, startling Janet awake while he kicked the air, speedily launching towards Sebas, Mael, and Freyja.

As I rapidly approached them, I held Naga-sa with my foot before clenching my fist and punching the air, smashing right through one of Seba's telekinetic barriers while Mael followed up with a cruel sun, though I simply coated my hand in haki, causing it to take on a blackish hue. Outstretching my hand, I clutched Mael's attack, only to toss it toward Sebas in the distance while quickly flipping upside down, using Naga-sa to block a slash from Freyja's elongated nails.

"Heh, I hate that smiling face of yours." Said Freyja with a wicked smile as she stared at Diddy, who merely grinned before pushing her back.
