Chapter 370: Raijin Island Incident

"Zehahaha, it looks like you could use some help, Redhair; it seems we arrived at the perfect moment." Stated Blackbeard with a faint smirk as he glanced at Shanks, who frowned though his eyes never once left Diddy's figure.

"I didn't need your assistance… Same for you, Big Mom. This is a personal matter." Stated Shanks solemnly as he fearlessly gazed between Linlin and Blackbeard, his words causing them to simply chuckle.

"Mamama, we're already here, so you might as well accept our help." "Zehahaha, who said I was referring to you, Redhair? The Instatible and Demon's Heir are destroying your fleet; even those two giants aren't helping much." Stated Linlin and Blackbeard, respectively, as they glanced at Shanks before the latter pointed to the shore on the other side of the split island.

"I'm sure with your presence and the arrival of our two ships, we'll manage to overpower the Frenzy Pirates." "Mamama, without Chaos Kong to save them, the Frenzy Pirates will be overwhelmed and killed one by one." Declared Blackbeard and Linlin, respectively, their words surprising Shanks and Diddy as their observation haki rapidly expanded.

'Heh, there they are.' Mused Diddy with a feral grin as he observed Linlins and Blackbeard's ship, each comprising of their strongest officers.

"Hehehe, so that's your plan. Kill my crew first while keeping me busy before eventually killing me?" Asked Diddy with an excited smile as he stared at the three that stood opposite of him, causing Linlin and Blackbeard to laugh while Shanks merely furrowed his brows.

"Zehahaha, you caught us red-handed." Said Blackbeard with a wicked grin as he raised his arms into the air, only for deep darkness to seep from his body, seemingly corrupting the very earth.

"Mamama, this island will mark the end of the Frenzy Pirates…" Added Linlin with a furious expression as she clenched Napoleon while Prometheus and Zeus violently surged, their presence changing the weather.

"Hmph, my anger for Chaos Kong is personal. I will not be participating in this." Said Shanks lightly as he sheathed his blade before walking away, causing Blackbeard to frown.

"Tch, well, that's unfortunate, but go ahead and save your crew; he'll be too busy to help them." Remarked Blackbeard with a click of his tongue as he eyed Diddy, who had crouched down to all fours while his tail wagged in excitement.

Watching Shanks leave, I furrowed my brows and thought about attacking him, but with one look at Linlin and Blackbeard, I knew doing so would only leave me open for them to attack me, besides two Emperors of the sea were already going to be incredibly difficult to deal with; three would be overkill.

As for my crew, they would be in for a rough few days, with Shanks coming to reinforce his crew, along with Linlin and Blackbeard's crew joining shortly after; it would be debatable if they could survive such a powerful onslaught.

'Heh, I might as well warn them.' Thought Diddy with a smirk as he stood upright while taking a deep breath, his powerful lungs creating a miniature tornado.

"REDHAIR, BIG MOM, AND BLACKBEARD ARE HERE!" Yelled Diddy loudly, his powerful voice echoing throughout Raijin Island.

Knocking Brogy's giant axe to the side, I clenched my fist and powerfully punched his shield, enveloping it inky black flames, forcing him back while he removed his shield and suppressed my flames with his haki; however, before I could take advantage of this moment, that monkey's voice echoed throughout the battlefield.

"What the Big Mom and Blackbeard?" Muttered Freyja in surprise as she turned and glanced in the distance, only for her eyes to widen when she sensed the aura of two powerful presences.

"Ugh, this can't be good." Said Freyja with a deep frown as her eyes narrowed at the rapidly approaching Shanks, causing her to click her tongue while she dodged a slash from Borgy.

"Hey, fuck face, you deal with these two; I'm taking on Redhaired." Stated Freyja as she kicked Brogy to Bullet, who was fighting Dorry, causing him to grunt as he raised his already assimilated arm, stopping both the giants.

"Hmph, where the hell do you think you're going!? I want to fight my former crew mate!" Yelled Bullet in annoyance as he pushed Dorry and Brogy off him before turning around and dashing after Freyja, leaving the two giants alone.

"Tch, I'll take care of them, old man. I wouldn't want you to injure your back." Said Mael mockingly as he slammed his golden axe into the sand, carving a path of scalding plasma toward the two giants, turning the ground to glass.

"Hoho, oh, you don't have to; fighting against two of them will surely be too difficult. After all, I'm sure your limited mental capacity can't handle the prospect of focusing on more than one enemy." Stated Sebas softly as he waved his hand, parting the battlefield while he floated towards Dorry and Brogy.

"Will you two just shut up and fight!?" Exclaimed Scar in slight annoyance as he violently kicked Beckman, who retaliated with a swing of his gun, knocking him back, though he quickly regained his bearings before shooting a barrage of shigan's at him using his finger.

"Mamama, that won't help you, Chaos Kong. No matter what you do, you and your crew are dying here." Stated Linlin with a savage expression as she raised Napoleon into the air, prompting Zeus and Prometheus to fuse into the sword, causing it to erupt in powerful flames and lightning.

"Zehehahah, remember the deal, Big Mom. I get his crew once he dies." Said Blackbeard with a wicked smile as he coated one fist in a dark black while his other was enveloped in a spherical orb of pure power.

Laughing in amusement at how confident they were killing me, I raised Naga-sa into the air, infusing it with lightning while conquerors haki surged towards my two enemies, causing their eyes to narrow as they felt the suppressive effect of my will.

"Hehe, you have Shanks to thank for that." Said Diddy with a feral grin as he glanced between Linlin and Blackbeard, causing them to furrow their brows.

"Tch, I was hoping this would be easy." Muttered Blackbeard as he eyed Diddy, whose figure rapidly darted through the air, approaching him at immense speeds.

"Beastly Incursion!" Yelled Diddy as he violently attacked Blackbeard, who barely managed to bring his arms up to block though he was still flung through the air.

Nearly getting knocked out of the sky by Linlin, I pushed myself off her arm while bringing my bo-staff above me, narrowly managing to divert the slash of her sword, though just as I was about to retaliate, I felt the very air violently tremble, prompting me to raise Naga-sa as I blocked the attack; unfortunately, that allowed Linlin to hit me into the distance with her sword, sending me crashing through mountains and hills before I came to a stop.

"Hmph, so much for not participating in this. I still can't use my future sight… Fucking bastard." Muttered Diddy lightly as he spread his limbs, bringing himself to a stop before he landed on the ground, only to dodge a mighty slash from Linlin.

Twirling in the air, I infused more lightning into Naga-sa and swung it at the rapidly approaching Blackbeard, causing a lightning bolt to streak through the sky. With a wave of his hand, a large black hole absorbed it; however, that wasn't all. He spit it out right back at me, and it had turned black, having been corrupted by whatever his devil fruit was.

Outstretching my hand, I went to grab the bolt of lightning before redirecting it at Linlin, who was charging toward me, smashing through everything in her way, yet, while she may not have been as physically strong as Kaido or I, she wasn't far behind given how she swatted it out of the air using the back of her hand while only a faint burn mark remained.

'She could've been stronger if she hadn't wasted her time giving birth to a bunch of weak children and eating sweets.' Thought Diddy as he glanced at Linlin while kicking towards her, launching a volley of sharp blades of wind at her, infusing them with lightning and significantly increasing their speed.

While I overwhelmed Linlin with a barrage of kicks, Blackbeard saved her by punching the air in my direction, causing it to crack, forcing me to stop as I raised my hand, using my vastly superior haki to stop the attack before it reached.

"Your usage of the fruit pales compared to what I witnessed during Whitebeard's final moments." Said Diddy lightly as he eyed Blackbeard before swinging Naga-sa at him while rapidly enlarging it.

"Abyss!" Said Blackbeard as he raised his hand before outstretching his arm, creating a black fog surrounding him.

As my bo-staff entered the black fog, I noticed that despite me still swinging it, Naga-sa hardly moved; it was like there was an infinite amount of distance between him and I. However, I couldn't dwell on it for long, as I sensed Linlin attacking me from the side, prompting me to retract my bo-staff, yet that also didn't work.

"Maser Cannon!" Yelled Linlin as she shot a powerful beam at Diddy, who raised his arm to block the attack while his other hand never let go of his bo-staff.

Once the beam faded away, so did the black fog that locked Naga-sa in place, allowing me to gain distance from my attackers.

"Heh, not bad." Muttered Diddy with a feral grin as he spat blood onto the ground while eyeing Linlin and Blackbeard.
