Although I said that, Sebas took the initiative to help both the cat and dog duo along with the numerous other victims; while Freyja and Scar helped him, Mael and I sat down and watched Chala fight Jack, who had just transformed into a mammoth, forcing her to truly use her devil fruit.

"Hmm, this is a pretty close fight." Muttered Diddy lightly, his words causing Mael to nod while Grand suddenly appeared beside them, plopping his large body onto the ground.

"Haa looks like Chala got to him first." Said Grand in disappointment as he watched Chala fight while donned in ice armor, protecting her from powerful attacks as she violently retaliated.

"Yeah, and it looks like things won't be settled for some time; the two are pretty equal." Remarked Mael with a nod as he stabbed his axe into the Zunesha, who loudly roared while his entire body subtly shook, causing Diddy to click his tongue in annoyance.

"Hey! Shut up, Zunesha! Don't make me topple you!" Yelled Diddy loudly in slight anger as he gently kicked Zunesha, sending a weak wave of haki through nearly half his body, causing him to shut up promptly.

While I couldn't understand Zunesha like Trenza, his voice was still unbearably loud; he made Grand sound like an ant, which was saying something cause I hadn't met anyone with a louder voice than him.

After a few hours, Sebas, Freyja, and Scar managed to help all the Minks, though since none of them were doctors, they were required to deal with their injuries and wounds on their own; however, they had their own doctors, so they were mostly fine, only a few happened to die from their wounds and injuries.

During this time, Mael and I hadn't moved so much as a muscle; we were thoroughly entertained by Chala and Jack's battle, which looked to be coming to an end given their wounds and injuries; however, before the victor could be decided, he began retreating while returning to his mammoth form, which, ironically enough, increased his speed.

"Hey! Where the hell are you going!? W-We're not finished!" Yelled Chala furiously as she chased after Jack, her armor leaving behind a faint trail of ice while the two left the confines of Zou.

"Tsk, pathetic." Muttered Diddy and Mael simultaneously as they watched the two leave before shaking their heads and standing up.

With Jack leaving like a coward, my fun was ruined, which meant I needed something else, and the only thing I could think of was Raizo; after all, I planned to head to Wano to fight that punk Kaido. I already knew where he was; he was in the Whale Forest, hidden away in some room bound with rope, preventing him from leaving.

"Where are we headed now?" Asked Mael curiously as he grabbed his axe and rested it on his shoulder while walking beside Diddy, who yawned before pointing towards the forest.

"Over there; that's where Raizo is." Replied Diddy lightly, his words causing Mael to nod as the wo silently walked through the heavily damaged city, which was littered with rubble.

Scar, Freyja, Sebas, and Grand were off doing their own thing with the Minks, leaving just Mael and I alone as we headed towards the forest in the distance, deciding to fly there to arrive quicker; however, when we entered the forest, almost immediately, we were being watched.

'I have to hand it to them; returning to duty almost immediately after getting saved is respectable.' Mused Diddy lightly as he glanced at the many vertical slit pupils hiding behind the thick foliage, only to shrug his shoulds while Mael completely ignored their presence.

Once we neared the large whale tree, we spotted a city down below, but we promptly ignored it and headed straight for the tail as that's where Raizo was being held, in a hidden compartment, along with a poneglyph. When we arrived, Mael and I landed on the ground, though shortly afterward, several Minks suddenly surrounded us, and a few blocked our path.

"Tsk, were we being followed?" Muttered Mael with a frown as he raised his axe into the air while coating it in plasma, only for Diddy to blanky stare at him.

"What kind of fucking question is that? How did you not know we were being followed? It was pretty freaking obvious they were doing a rather poor job at concealing their presence; I didn't even need haki to notice them." Remarked Diddy in annoyance as he looked at Mael, who clicked his tongue while looking away, though he had unknowingly insulted the guardians.

"Tch, sorry for not being a Mink with amazing senses." Said Mael sarcastically in slight annoyance, causing Diddy to scoff as he promptly ignored him.

"You can't be here, Chaos Kong." Said a Jaguar Mink with a sword as he cautiously eyed Diddy while standing his ground.

"Since this is technically my home, I won't be nearly as gung-ho as usual, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to kill you, Pedro. Attack me if you wish, but you'll just end up dead; you can't stop me, none of you can; hell, not even Zunesha can stop me. So think carefully." Remarked Diddy calmly as he approached the whale's tail while eyeing Pedro, who was nervously sweating.

"Captain, w-what do we do?" Asked a gorilla Mink as he glanced at Pedro, who tightly clenched his hilt before biting his lip and stepping to the side, surprising everyone.

"N-Nothing, Blackback. W-We can do nothing to stop him; we'll just be throwing our lives away for no reason. You all remember how strong he was one year ago; now that he's an Emperor of the Sea, his power has only grown." Stated Pedro softly with a scowl as he clenched his fists while eyeing Diddy, who calmly walked past him, his words causing every Mink to subtly tremble in fear.

"Oh yeah, speaking of one year ago, seeing as how Jack defeated you all, I assume none of you have figured out how to bypass the need for a full moon and achieve your sulong form on demand?" Asked Diddy curiously as he looked at Pedro, who didn't bother responding, causing him to shrug his shoulders.

Ignoring Pedro and his little group of Guardians, I leaped up onto the whale's tail and forcefully smashed it open with Naga-sa, allowing Mael and I to enter the hidden room, only to see the Raizo bound to the poneglyph; only, it looked slightly different compared to the ones I'm used to.

'Huh, it's red.' Thought Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he ignored Raizo and stared at the Poneglyph.

"That's Raizo? That's the supposed ninja from Wano? Wano must be a joke, then." Remarked Mael blandly as he approached Raizo, who was warily staring at him and Diddy.

"Well, it is Kaido's territory now, so don't expect much from Wano itself; this is probably the best they could muster." Remarked Diddy lightly as he reached down, only to rip the ropes that bound Raizo, causing him to suddenly leap backward.

"Who are you two!? Where are Nekomamushi and Inuarashi!?" Exclaimed Raizo quickly as he warily eyed Mael and Diddy, who were hardly paying him any attention.

"Do you think I could break this now?" Asked Diddy curiously as he placed his hand atop the poneglyph while Mael adorned a thoughtful expression.

"Hmm, I don't know. Why not try it?" Replied Mael calmly, his words confusing the guardians, who had just arrived.

Smiling at Mael's words, I had Nimbus support the back of the poneglyph so it wouldn't go flying while I raised Naga-sa above me, coating it in my powerful haki and lightning.

"What the? NO, NO, NO!" Muttered Pedro in slight confusion as he glanced at Diddy only to rapidly near him.

'Beastly Incursion!' Thought Diddy as he violently slammed Naga-sa into the poneglyph, his attack pushing the rushing Pedro and Raizo backward while Mael was forced to stab his axe into the ground to withstand the attack.

After a few moments, I eventually stopped the attack, though I wasn't the least bit happy; despite using nearly everything in that attack, when the dust settled, there wasn't so much as a scratch on it.

"Tsk, this thing is fucking tough; that attack is capable of destroying mountains, yet it wasn't even able to scratch it?" Muttered Diddy in slight annoyance as he rested Naga-sa on his shoulder while Mael looked on in surprise.

"Robin might know something." Said Mael lightly as he stepped closer, getting a better look at the poneglyph, while Diddy rolled his eyes.

"Tsk, yeah, and how long will it take to meet her again?" Remarked Diddy as he glanced at Mael before shaking his head and shifting his focus toward Raizo, who was gazing at him in pure shock and fear.

"S-Such power; i-it's like Kaido, no, even stronger." Muttered Raizo softly as he gazed at Diddy, only for him to make a sign with his hands, causing him to vanish.

(Note: Just to clarify, Raizo refers to Kaido from twenty years ago, who had yet to enter his prime.)

"Where do you think you're going?" Asked Diddy lightly as he held Raizo upside by his leg while standing just outside the destroyed tail.

Raizo didn't say anything and simply tried attacking me, though all of his cheap little tricks did nothing other than slightly annoy me, prompting me to slam him into the ground, yet before I could do anything else, he was lifted into the air by Sebas, who landed beside me, alongside with Freyja and Scar, while Grand bulldozed through the forest, which was full of tilted trees thanks to my earlier attack.

"Captain, please refrain from killing him; I've yet to fully read his mind." Said Sebas lightly as he glanced at Diddy, who pointed at Raizo.

"He started it first, don't look at me; besides, I wasn't going to kill him." Remarked Diddy blandly, his words causing Sebas to sigh while shaking his head.
