Looking at the sunny blue sky, I wanted to laugh right now; however, given my condition, that was nothing but a pipe dream; my body was more broken than after my battle with Akainu, and I couldn't even turn my head, the most I could do was move one of my eyes. Even then, it's not like my vision was that great; it's like I was looking through a filter that turned everything a deep shade of red; it completely fucked up my depth perception. However, I could thankfully still see somewhat since, besides my nose, my other senses were useless, except my observation haki, of course.

Speaking of observation haki, I watched Whitebeard finally join the fray, and the instant he did, nearly every marine ignored every other pirate and lunged at him; however, it was all pointless, as he didn't hold the title of the strongest man alive for nothing, evident by the fact I'm barely alive after taking his attack.

'Hehe, not to mention he was still holding back, and he's dying. What a fucking monster. I can't wait to reach his level. Then we can have a proper fight.' Thought Diddy with a slight chuckle as he tried to smile, only for waves of pain to fill his mind, forcing him to stop.

Thanks to Nimbus protecting my brain and heart, they were both fine, which was the most important; yet, now that I'm out of immediate danger, I'm merely just a sitting duck waiting to be killed. I couldn't move any part of my body right now, and worst of all, I was in the middle of the battlefield, on the Marines's side to boot, which meant I was more likely to be attacked.

'Ah, there we go, right on cue; I was wondering what was taking so long.' Mused Diddy lightly as he observed his surroundings through his haki, watching as several marines ran towards him with the intent to kill.

Now that I was being attacked, I didn't have the luxury to laze about, so with an internal sigh, I manipulated Nimbus, wrapping it around my skeletal frame before I slowly stood up through controlling it; once I was on my two feet, I took a quick second to get accustomed to this sensation of moving without actually moving.

'Weird, but not uncomfortable, well, except for the pain, though at least now, I should be able to deal with those marines. However, I need to heal, so I suppose it's good that prey are running towards me rather than away.' Thought Diddy with an expressionless face as he looked down at his body before turning around and eyeing his prey.

"There he is! Chaos Kong! Kill him! We'll get a hefty reward!" Yelled the group of marines as they lunged at Diddy with their weapons in hand.

Waiting for my prey to get closer, right when one of their swords was about to stab me in the chest, I coated my skin in haki, causing my golden brown fur to take on a blackish hue while the man's swords chipped against my fur, and before he could attack once more, I sliced my hand right through his neck in a somewhat sloppy manner, decapitating him with my sharp nails while his blood spilled everywhere.

'Tsk, not nearly as easy as I thought, whatever, at least I can't smell his blood.' Mused Diddy with a slight frown as he looked down at his fur, which was covered in blood, before suddenly leaping into the air, dodging two sword slashes coming from both ways.

Summoning forth my lightning, which coursed through my body, causing it to be greatly strengthened by Nimbus, I launched two thick lightning bolts at the two marines, turning them into charred and unrecognizable corpses. Just as I was about to land on the ground, another marine appeared directly beneath me and slashed upwards, launching a sword slash. However, I saw it coming in advance, thanks to my haki, and simply controlled Nimbus to push me to the left while I swiftly flew towards him, crashing my haki-clad body into his, smashing him into the ground.

'Well, that was messier than I'd like, but oh well. Now then, time to dig in; I hope they taste better than the prisoners in Impel Down.' Thought Diddy as he stood atop the crushed marine before crouching and taking a bite out of his arm, nearly choking on it until Nimbus forced it down his throat.

'Okay then, my stomach is a fucking mess, and isn't intact, as for my intestines, they're in the same condition, but they're still operational. Sort of. Welp, this is most likely going to fucking hurt even more.' Thought Diddy lightly as he observed his mangled and ravaged insides before focusing on his intestines, which had definitely seen better days.

Once the small piece of meat I had bitten off the marine arrived in my intestines after passing right through my damaged stomach, I pushed my intestines into overdrive, causing me to feel an explosive amount of pain; however, if I didn't do this, I wouldn't heal from this type of damage for at least three days, and this war wasn't going to last that long.

Since I had nothing else to do right now other than consume enough food so my body could repair itself, that's exactly what I did: I sat down and ate the four marines. I would've preferred to do it peacefully, but I would get attacked every now and then, not to mention Whitebeard was causing the entire battlefield to tremble violently every few seconds.

'Should I get Freyja to use that lust empowerment on me? The thought of actively kissing her disgusts me, but it would help heal my body faster and would allow me to get back into the battle faster.' Mused Diddy lightly as he looked at Hancock and Fryeja's battle, only to groan inwardly.

Unfortunately for me, my lust for a battle far outweighed the disgust I had for Freyja, and so once I finished eating the marine, I flew into the air and headed for my Vice-captain, who was constantly getting her ass handed to her by Hancock, though she'd simply absorb a random man's vitality to heal her injuries before returning to fight.

"Ugh, son of a bitch, that hurt." Muttered Freyja with a grunt of pain as she removed herself from the frozen ground while spitting blood before eyeing Hancock, only for a familiar hand to grab her shoulder, stopping her.

"Hmm, Diddy? What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy? Do you want me to kill you right now? It's taking a lot of willpower not to do so." Remarked Freyja with a raised eyebrow as she eyed Diddy, who simply stared back at her, filling her with annoyance as she threateningly spread her wings.

I wasn't able to speak, given my injuries, and Sebas was too preoccupied with affecting the thousands of marines to create a mental link between Freyja and I, so I did something I never thought I'd ever do in my entire life. Tightening my hand on Freyja's shoulder, I pulled her closer before smashing our lips together, engaging in a pathetic kiss since I couldn't move my lips, but she seemed to be enjoying it with all the vitality she was stealing from me, which was quite annoying, but even if it's her, it would take a while for her to drain me of my life force.

'Ugh, disgusting fucking toilet, that's not why I kissed you!' Thought Diddy angrily as he wrapped his hand around Freyja's neck and squeezed it while staring into her eyes, causing her to retract her face and frown.

"Ahh, I see; you must want me to use Lust Empowerment on you like I did during our escape from Lindbergh; it annoys me that I'm helping you, but I can't have you dying before I kill you myself, so here you go, you monkey bastard." Remarked Freyja with a raised eyebrow as she observed Diddy, only to click her tongue in annoyance before leaning forward and passionately kissing him.

Although Freyja was still stealing my vitality, this time, I felt a sudden surge of strength, prompting me to immediately distance myself from Freyja while aggressively wiping my lips.

"What, don't look at me like that; it's not like I enjoyed committing beastiality for the second time; now run along, stupid monkey, I've got something important to do." Stated Freyja with a frown, glaring at Diddy before scoffing and shaking her head as she lunged towards Hancock.

I would've loved to curse her, but I simply ignored her before turning around and leaving, flying through the edge of the battlefield while looking for unsuspecting victims to kill while my body repaired itself, which I had forced to focus all of its efforts on my intestines first.

The minutes passed by, and after ten or so minutes, my intestines where finally healed to the point were they weren't a crazy mess; they weren't fully healed, but at least now, they could work at full efficiency, which in turn further sped up how fast I was healing.

'C'mon, I want to join the battle before the war is over.' Thought Diddy with an eager expression as he looked at Whitebeard while chewing on the thigh of a random corpse.
