Chapter 274: Joyboy & Noah

Eying Tamago down, who was checking up on the wound I had given him, I grabbed my bo-staff from off my back, yet, instead of using it, I tossed it to Sebas; I wanted to rip this egg fool to shreds with my bare hands, or hand right now, for daring to order me around.

"Are you sure you wish to do this, Chaos Kong? You'll be making a terribly powerful enemy." Asked Tamago sternly as he narrowed his eyes at Diddy, who merely grinned before kicking off the ground, dashing right for him.

Lunging at Tamago, he promptly threw his cane at me and used his long yet strong legs to kick me when I got close, yet, after fighting Hancock, he paled in comparison to her; not only was he weaker, but his haki wasn't nearly as good. In fact, if I wanted to, I could end this battle rather quickly since his observation haki wasn't strong enough to stop me from seeing into the future; I already knew what he would do before he even did it.

However, I didn't use my future sight; actually, I didn't use any haki. I fought Tamago purely through the use of my physical might; after all, it would be too easy if I used haki, and even though I was going to kill him, I wanted it to be enjoyable.

'Tsk, but haki sure is strong; I could defeat him without too much problem if I were to use it, but without it, it's proving challenging to simply dodge his kicks.' Thought Diddy with a slight frown as he narrowly evaded Tamago's fast kicks, relying heavily on his exceptionally acute senses.

Leaning backward, dodging a horizontal kick, I pushed off the ground using my tail while raising my leg as I blocked his foot, causing me to grin from the strength behind his haki-infused leg. Using a substantial amount of strength to overpower both his raw strength and haki, I pushed him backward while following up with several lightning-fast kicks to his chest, utilizing one of the seventy-two Bian's as I repeatedly attacked.

I was kicking too fast for him to properly react even with his observation haki helping him, though he wasn't helpless as he was able to block most of my kicks, just not all of them, landing a devastating kick on his chest; I sent him flying through the air, though he managed to reorient himself while in mid-air before landing on the ground.

"Even without knowing haki, you're one powerful pirate; too bad, you would've made a powerful warrior for Momma." Said Tamago with a slight frown as he wiped blood leaking from his mouth while glancing at Diddy, who chaotically chuckled.

"Hehehe." Muttered Diddy with a ferocious expression as he once again lunged towards Tamago.

While fighting against Tamago, I had a little bit of breathing room to check up on my two crew members, as I was curious how they were fairing against their respective opponents. The Fishman King proved to be relatively strong and was giving Mael a pretty tough fight; he even knew haki, although it seemed to be just the bare minimum, it still allowed him to touch Mael, who was still pretty used to not needing to dodge given his logia ability, but if everyone in the New World had haki, then he'd quickly learn, otherwise, he'd die.

As for Scar, well, it was pretty one-sided; in my eyes, his opponent wasn't that good of a fighter, and he had many openings, yet for Scar, even though I could see he was trying to take advantage of said openings, he was too outclassed in every aspect; not too mention his opponent was pretty decently skilled in armament haki, which was infused in every one of his attacks. It was apparent Scar was going to lose, and he wasn't going to be lucky enough to knock out his opponent like he did against Blueno; the difference in strength is simply too big.

'But that's fine; the circumstances are different. Besides, I never expected him to win against either of these two.' Mused Diddy as he glanced back at Tamago, who kicked him, prompting him to do the same, causing their legs to collide.

Pushing each other backward, I twisted in the air before using geppo and dashing towards Tamago as I slashed down, launching five sharp blades of wind at him; although he blocked it using his haki, it still left shallow cuts on his body.

"Hehehe, so this haki? Not impressed." Said Diddy with a chuckle as he landed on the ground and eyed Tamago, who simply grunted before dashing towards him.

"You're beginning to piss me off, kid." Said Tamago in slight anger as he and Diddy engaged in yet another battle, all while Sebas and the three Princes watched from the sidelines.

"Hopefully, that doesn't leave a mark." Muttered Sebas softly as he watched Scar and Pekoms fight if one could even call such a one-sided beatdown a fight.

While the first group of the Frenzy pirates was causing mass chaos throughout the Ryugu Palace, the second group was doing, well, something arguably worse.

"Hah, I don't know why either of us thought it would be a smart idea to go with Freyja; we already knew what she would do." Said Trenza with a sigh as she walked through the empty streets of the Fishman district, only seeing the occasional Fishman with a hazy look in their eyes from Freyja's pheromones.

"Because Freyja is strong?" Said Chala lightly as she glanced at Trenza, who promptly lowered her head and sighed.

"If that's the case, why didn't you go with Captain? He is much stronger than Freyja." Asked Trenza curiously as she glanced at Chala, who rubbed her chin before shrugging her shoulders.

After foolishly deciding to go with Freyja, we headed directly to a brothel, and well, she got to work by slowly spreading her pheromones throughout the entire city; she's gathered nearly every fishman, disregarding genders and who knows how many peoples she's sucked dry by now.

Obviously, Grand, Janet, Chala, and I didn't stay for long; Grand went with Janet since she wanted to explore Fishman Island, and I just wanted to do something other than watch Freyja fuck Fishman after Fishman.

'Scar has told me Freyja doesn't let anyone but him use her pussy; still though, how can he bring himself to sleep with her?' Thought Trenza with a confused and disgusted expression as she looked at the blue ocean above her.

While walking through the city in a random direction, Chala and I eventually left the confines of the city, walking along the edge of the massive bubble that contained Fish-man Island, though just outside the bubble, I spotted hundreds if not thousands of destroyed ships lying on the sea floor. It was a slightly depressing sight as we were pirates, but it made me appreciate Pandemonium all the more; however, it wasn't long before I happened to spot a cube stele.

"Eh, didn't Robin call those things poneglyphs or something?" Said Trenza lightly as she approached the poneglyph while Chala curiously followed her.

"What is that?" Asked Chala curiously as she attempted to read the poneglyph, though to no avail.

"Don't really know; it's supposed to contain the secrets or history from something called the void century, but I don't really bother with that stuff. Not all that interesting to me." Replied Trenza as she dismissively waved her hand while reading the poneglyph, only to tilt her head in slight confusion.

"Can you read it? What does it say?" Asked Chala as she looked at Trenza, who was sporting a confused expression.

"Yeah, I can read the ancient writings. Instead of the history, it's an apology about breaking a promise to the Fishman by some dude named Joyboy. Hmm, weird." Stated Trenza lightly as she looked at the poneglyph with a thoughtful expression, only for her to shrug her shoulders before walking away.

"Eh, I don't care enough. C'mon, Chala, let's explore this area; this forest looks very beautiful." Added Trenza lightly as she walked through the Sea Forest, completely ignoring the poneglyph, prompting Chala to do the same.

"I hope we encounter a strong enemy; I'm bored." Muttered Chala lightly as she walked alongside Trenza, who sighed while shaking her head.

"Woah, that's an absolutely massive ship. And I thought the Moby Dick was large." Muttered Grand lightly as he stared in awe at the massive ship, which was comparable in size to some smaller sea kings.

"Yeah, I'm glad we left Freyja." Said Janet with a nod while staring at the ship, only to get on one knee as she began taking pictures with her devil fruit ability.

"Oh, Grand, stand in front of it like you're holding it!" Added Janet passionately with widened eyes, her words causing Grand to nod as he did as told, placing his hands seemingly just under the ship.

"How's this?" Asked Grand with a smile as he flexed his muscles, nearly ripping his shirt off his body.

"Hehe, perfect!" Stated Janet with a large smile as she took several pictures of Grand and made him do various poses.

Once I finished taking pictures for Janet, I quickly returned beside her and looked through the photos; well, if I'm being honest, I didn't care one bit about the photos, but since Janet enjoyed doing it, I'd enjoy it for her sake.

"Now then, let's go inside. We can't not go in there after encountering such a massive ship." Said Janet with a large smile as she stuffed her photos in her cleavage before grabbing Grand's large hand and leading him to the ship.
