With the captain having been taken care of, I continued exploring the building as I could still sense other living beings nearby; busting through the walls, I killed anyone I came in contact with, whether it was the few scattered marines that attempted to flee or some unlucky chore-boys that happened to encounter me, every person ended up dying. Hell, I had even stumbled across a few jail cells that were filled with criminals they must've captured, and the funny thing was, when they saw me killing the Marines, they got all excited and started rooting for me, not even knowing they were next on the chopping block.

"W-Why? W-We are the same as you!" Exclaimed a frightened prisoner as he looked at Diddy, surrounded by several corpses of inmates.

"Heh, you think we're the same just because I oppose the Marines? Don't make me laugh; you're just a pathetic weakling who couldn't even deal with a small group of marines, don't lump me together with the likes of you; it's degrading." Replied Diddy with an annoyed expression as he approached the last prisoner, who was backing away in fear until he hit a wall.

Without giving the man a chance to retaliate, I thrust my staff right at him, causing his head to squish between my staff and the wall behind him, resulting in his head popping like a watermelon, nearly dirtying me in his brain juices.

'Well, that should be the final person to kill; I've just about explored this entire outpost, and the only place I haven't looked is the captain's office; it's only right to save the best place for last.' Mused Diddy as he holstered Naga-sa and exited through the hole in the wall he had previously made.

Busting through the ceilings, I arrived at the topmost floor, the same floor where I'd expect to find the one in charge, or more specifically, his office; walking about, It didn't take long to find it, though the name tags on the doors did help save some time. Opening the door, I entered and was greeted with a pretty generic office by my standards, a desk with a chair, large windows that allow one to see the clear ocean, a couple of bookshelves, some paintings along with various other decorations; the only thing that stood out was the large bulletin-board that was covered in numerous bounties for pirates and criminals.

'Bounties? This is my first time seeing this; considering our location, I'm sure they must mainly have bounties for people in South Blue. Hehe, I'm curious to know who my competitors are.' Thought Diddy with a slight smirk as he ignored everything else and neared the board filled with bounties.

Looking at the board, I spotted numerous bounties, ranging anywhere from twelve-thousand all the way to fifty million berries; however, most of the bounties that were less than one million had a large red X crossed over their picture, and it didn't take a genius to realize they were either killed or captured. Though it's not like it mattered to me, I was only interested in the people with a bounty of over ten-million.

"Let's see here; Eustass 'Captain' Kid, Captain of the Kid Pirates, a bounty of 48,000,000 Beri's, along with 'Massacre Solider' Killer, who has a bounty of 35,000,000 Beri's. Those two look decently powerful; I wonder when I'll get to fight them." Remarked Diddy with a feral grin as he eyed the bounty posters of Kid and Killer before setting them down and looking at another poster.

"Shoujou, Captain of the Shoujou Pirates, a bounty of 36,000,000 Beri's; Jewelry Bonney, Captain of the Bonney Pirates, a bounty of 32,000,000 Beri's." Muttered Diddy as he looked at two bounty posters of Shoujou and Bonney before again ignoring them.

"Foxy, Captain of the Foxy Pirates, a bounty of 24,000,000 Beri's; Gyro, Captain of the Gyro Pirates, a bounty of 20,000,000 Beri's. What unoriginal names, couldn't think of anything cooler?" Said Diddy as he glanced at the two bounty posters of Foxy and Gryo before once more setting them down.

While there were many more wanted posters, only those six interested me, so I ignored the others, except for one more, which had the highest bounty among all the other wanted posters. Looking at the picture of a spiffy older man with white hair and a beard wearing a tuxedo while looking rather friendly, I picked up his wanted poster and closely examined it.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Sebas 'Grandfather' Visage, Leader of the Elegant Mafia, a bounty of 50,000,000 Beri's; heh, I don't know why, but he seems interesting." Remarked Diddy while looking at the bounty poster before grabbing the other six posters and stuffing them in his pockets.

(Note: Picture of his bounty on my Discord)

Having finished examining the bulletin board, I turned around; just as I was about to exit the office, I spotted something on the desk, and with a mere glance, I was utterly astonished by what I saw; nearing the desk, I carefully examined the wanted poster, wanting to make sure I didn't see things wrong.

"Gol D. Roger, former Captain of the Roger Pirates and King of the Pirates, a bounty of 5,564,800,00 Beri's." Muttered Diddy in pure unadulterated astonishment as his heart began to beat quickly while looking at the man in the picture covered by a red x.

'King of the Pirates? I don't know what that is, but to be given that title along with such an insane bounty, he must've been mighty. I really wish he was still alive; I would've loved to kill him in battle.' Thought Diddy with a feral grin while slightly wishing he had been born two decades earlier.

I had thought about taking the poster, but I saw no reason to; the man may have an insane bounty, but he was already dead; there was no point in keeping a dead man's bounty; besides, even though he must've been very powerful, he wasn't strong enough, after all, he was still killed.

Channeling lighting into my hand, I touched the wanted poster with my nail, causing the poster to get set on flames; smirking, I turned around and jumped through the window before propelling myself through the air back toward the town while letting the base burn until there was nothing left.

Moving through the air, I quickly arrived back in the town and spotted Freyja in the middle of the street having sex with several men while hundreds of people formed a circle around her, both men and women, as they eyed Freyja with fanatical expressions fueled by their lust for her. Landing in the circle, which was already littered with dried-up corpses of men, I neared Freyja just as she finished devouring the vitality of multiple men, causing them to collapse on the ground beside her previous victims.

"Heh, seems like you've been having fun without me, Freyja; how many people have you already killed, 100, 200?" Asked Diddy with a smirk as he eyed Freyja, who was wearing the skimpiest bikini imaginable.

"Well, I had warned you, didn't I; I wasn't going to wait for you to return." Replied Freyja calmly as she licked the semen smeared on her cheek with her unnaturally long tongue.

"Whatever, I don't care, as long as you leave some for me. Anyways, now that I'm here, release your hold on them; it won't be fun killing them if they don't descend into chaos." Remarked Diddy with a savage grin, causing Freyja to sigh before executing his orders as she forcefully lowered her innate seductive nature.

With Freyja's actions, it didn't take long for the people to awaken from their trance as they quickly descended into confusion, though that confusion only morphed into fear when they noticed corpses before shifting their eyes toward the two of us.

"Well, enjoy your fun; I have already devoured most of the men on this island, so you're left with mostly women." Stated Freyja, wings sprouting from her back as she flew into the air, landing atop one of the many buildings, intending to watch the massacre Diddy was about to commit.

Ignoring Freyja, I looked upon the crowd of confused and fearful people while brandishing my staff, powerfully slamming my staff on the ground, creating a tremor that reverberated throughout the surrounding area; my actions had quietened down the crowd as all focus was now on me.

"I'm going to kill you all; make sure to fight back!" Declared Diddy with a smirk, and without any warning, he lunged into the crowd, creating a chaotic scene as they all attempted to flee, which only caused Diddy to frown slightly while killing.

"Hmm? Why the frown? I thought you enjoy slaughtering." Asked Freyja as she floated down to Diddy once the massacre was over, dyeing the streets and nearby destroyed buildings in red.

"Wrong, I enjoy causing chaos and fighting; killing just so happens to be a large part of it; however, these people didn't try to fight back at all; they practically let themselves be killed by me; there was no resistance whatsoever. The people in Karate Island fought back, and although it was futile, it was enjoyable, yet this was rather boring." Replied Diddy, whose body was covered in blood, with a frown as he holstered Naga-sa while observing the slaughter he had committed.

"Whatever, no point in thinking too deeply about it; what's done is done. Let's head back to the ship and set sail; nothing is left for us here." Added Diddy as he shook his head and returned to normal before heading toward the dock while Freyja silently followed him.

Once we arrived back at the docks, the man from before was still lying about on the ground while trembling, and the moment he laid eyes on us, his trembling only increased, though neither of us paid him any mind. Hopping on the boat, we pulled the rope off the pillar and sailed back into the sea, leaving Baterilla behind after turning the place into a graveyard.
