One Piece: Chaos Kong Part 2

Chapter 243: Captain Reuniting With His Crew

Flinging Freyja into the distance, I swung Naga-sa behind me, blocking Mael's axe, only to grab the top of his axe with my haki-coated foot as I leaped off it and kneed him in the face, only to grab his head with my hand as I threw him towards Freyja, who was charging towards me from behind.

Flipping in the air while using my bo-staff to smash through several telekinetic barriers, I looked at Sebas and raised my hand, causing lightning to dance around it before I chucked a lightning bolt at him, though he forcefully dissipated it before it could connect with him.

"Ho, it seems like someone improved over the last month." Said Diddy with a smirk as he dashed through the air, dodging all of Sebas's psionic attacks while smashing through any invisible barriers.

"Hoho, I appreciate the compliment, but I'm not the only one who improved." Said Sebas with a faint smile as he waved his hands, forcing Diddy into a trap while Freyja and Mael lunged at him from either side.

Grinning at his words, I followed the trap Sebas was leading me into while occasionally attacking back; though I was keeping my strength in moderation, it was quiet yet time to go all out; besides, we were fighting right above Marineford, so I'd prefer if everyone didn't notice us.

Dashing through the sky, I finally arrived within Sebas's trap, though even before I did, I had seen what it was going to be thanks to my haki, entering a vacuum in the middle of the sky devoid of any air, which successfully took away all of my agility. It didn't matter how hard I could kick the air, if there weren't any air or anything for my feet to hit, I would go nowhere.

With me now trapped, both Mael and Freyja lunged at me, entering the void while slashing down at me with their weapon of choice; even though their attacks hadn't landed yet, from this short fight, I could discern they had all improved, and it wasn't small improvements either, it was very noticeable.

'Heh, it seems facing someone like Akainu really made them train.' Mused Diddy with a feral grin as he eyed his three crewmates, not knowing they had greatly improved because of all the infighting.

Tossing Naga-sa into my hand, I swung it at Mael, causing our weapons to collide against each other, and because I had no air to kick, I was forced towards Freyja, who slashed down at me with her elongated nails, though by dislocating my shoulder, I was able to spin around and snake my foot around her arm all while blocking Mael with my dislocated arm.

Now, since there was no air in the vacuum, not only did I lose the ability to maneuver, but so did Freyja and Mael, and so, when we finally emerged from the vacuum, I kicked the air, launching me towards Sebas while twisted Naga-sa, causing Mael's axe to slide down the shaft as I hit him in the face with the opposite side. Before he could retreat, I slammed Naga-sa on his axe, which he was tightly holding, forcing him forward, allowing me to grab him by the neck with my hand just after I had placed my bo-staff in my mouth.

While I had dealt with Mael, I swung Freyja, who I was holding by the arm, into the air, causing her to miss her attack by a hair's breadth as I bent my leg, bringing her face forward, only to use geppo directly on her cheek, though she hadn't received all those beatings from me in the past for nothing; even though I was withholding my strength, she was still practically unharmed, and instead just looked further pissed.

"Tsk, you bastard monk-" Said Freyja in annoyance as she took a deep breath, focusing all of her fire inside her throat, yet before she could finish it, a lightning-coated foot kicked her in the face, silencing her.

Laughing in amusement, I brought Mael before me, using him as a battering ram as I smashed through barrier after barrier while constantly using geppo on Freyja's face, rapidly nearing Sebas. Approaching Sebas, I narrowed my eyes and blasted him with my conqueror haki, which wasn't enough to do much, but it momentarily stunned him, allowing me to close the distance, and by the time he had regained his bearing, I was only a few meters away.
