One Piece: Chaos Kong

Chapter 192: Initiation Ritual

Hearing them roar loudly in joy at their name, I chuckled while balancing myself atop the ship's railing before I turned around and eyed Sebas and Mael.

"Aren't you going to introduce yourselves to your new crewmate?" Asked Diddy with a grin as he eyed Sebas and Mael, the former chuckling while the latter merely raised his eyebrow.

"Hoho, why, of course, Captain. Nice to meet you, Pandemonium; I'm Sebas Visage, Second mate of the Frenzy pirates, though you can just call me Sebas." Stated Sebas with a slight smile as he glanced at Diddy before taking a step forward and giving Pandemonium a slight bow, causing them to tilt their heads in confusion before copying him

"Hoho, despite being sea kings, you two have more manners than our Captain." Muttered Sebas with a small chuckle as he fixed his tie and stood upright while Diddy lightly growled in annoyance.

"Hmph, there is no point in having manners if I'm stronger." Said Diddy with a scoff as he eyed Sebas while leaning against the ship's railing, causing him to merely smile.

"Well, I'm Mael; I'm not as nice as Sebas, and if you want my respect, you'll have to earn it." Declared Mael as he squinted his eyes while eyeing Pandemonium, who, noticing his aggressive stance, bared their fangs, causing Mael to smirk slightly while wisps of plasma emerged from his body.

"Heh, I don't know what you're saying, but I've been with Captain long enough to understand what you're trying to convey. I like it." Said Mael with a hardened gaze as the wisps of plasma emitting from his body got more intense while the water surrounding Pandamonium turned turbulent, though before anything could happen, a demonic yet heavenly voice resounded through the area.

"Where is Diddy?" Asked Freyja as the door to the Captain's quarters was slammed open while she exited the room; although she sounded calm, the sheer anger and venom her voice contained was more than enough for everyone to realize she was utterly furious.

Hearing Freyja's voice, I smirked and glanced at her just as she looked at me, and instantly, she transformed into her Satans Soul, followed by her lunging at me with her wings coated in fire, increasing the might behind every flap of her wings. Leaping off the ship's railing, I jumped over Freyja's slash of her six-inch, deadly sharp nails and floated in the air using Nimbus.

"Hehe, what's wrong, Freyja; can't handle a little bit of electricity?" Asked Diddy with a mocking grin as he stood atop Nimbus while looking down at Freyja, who wore a furious expression before her neck suddenly expanded with a soft glow.

Seeing a torrent of red-hot flames erupt from her mouth; I unholstered Naga-sa off my back before using one of my seventy bian as I spun it incredibly fast, creating powerful winds that morphed into a vortex that sucked all the air away from the fire, quickly dissipating it, though it was really a fake attack meant to divert my attention from her real attack. Seeing her charge right through the vortex, having used her torrent of flames as cover to shield herself from most of my senses, she quickly approached me while her nails were covered in that familiar and deadly, inky black flame.

However, despite seeing Freyja charge right at me with the intent to kill, I didn't move and just calmly stood atop Nimbus while arresting Naga-sa on my shoulder as there was no need for me to attack; someone was already doing that in my stead. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Pandemonium lift its head out of the water, having chugged thousands of gallons of ocean water, only for it to tightly constrict its neck before opening its mouth, firing a highly pressurized beam of water at Freyja, who was only able to glance at it before getting it.

"What th-" Said Freyja in confusion as she glanced to her right while charging at Diddy, only to suddenly be hit with a powerful jet stream of water launched from Pandemonium, flinging her hundreds of meters into the distance while she reverted back to her normal appearance thanks to the salt water.
