One Piece: Chaos Kong

Chapter 48: Frenzy Photo

As I yanked her to me, she shot a few more iron rods from her body, yet I easily blocked them by using her own iron rod that I held; once she got near me, I let go of the iron rod before reaching forward and grabbing her by the neck.

"D-Do, you know what crime you've just committed? The Marines nor the World Government will forget about you; they'll chase after you until you're either dead or captured!" Said Hina as she tried freeing herself by attacking Diddy, but even up close, he was far too slippery.

"Hehe, in all honesty, no; I've got no idea how serious of a crime killing royalty affiliated with World Government is, but I imagine it should be a decently severe crime." Said Diddy with a grin as he squeezed Hina's neck, choking her, while Freyja and Sebas both sighed at his response.

"P-Pirates l-like you are r-reasons why j-justice exists! E-Even if Hina will d-die, I-I'll at least t-take you with me!" Yelled Hina with difficulty while her entire body morphed into hundreds of iron rods as she surrounded Diddy's body until there was nothing but an iron cocoon.

Feeling myself being constricted slowly like prey caught by a snake, I couldn't help but chuckle at her last-ditch effort since, while it was somewhat strong, it was utterly useless against me; after all, iron and lightning are very compatible, or in this case, the opposite. Smirking, I summoned forth the lighting that resided inside my heart before releasing it without restraint, almost like an EMP blast, causing Hina to emit a loud scream of agony before the iron cocoon that surrounded me disappeared, leaving behind an unconscious and smoking Hina lying on the ground.

"Tch, great, now I'm going to have to fix my hair; thanks, stupid Captain." Remarked Freyja with a frown of annoyance while looking at Diddy as she tried fixing her long hair standing on end.

"Yes, now I look rather foolish, which isn't befitting of my elegant stature." Said Sebas with a sigh as his beard and hair also stood on end from the electric explosion released by Diddy.

"Luckily, I was far enough away." Muttered Janet as she peeked behind a broken pillar that had protected her against the electricity.

"Heh, well, hurry and fix your hair; we're about to take a crew picture!" Stated Diddy with a smirk as he reached down to Hina and sliced off a rather long iron rod before slicing it again into several different pieces.

Grabbing the several pieces, I started craving the ends of it with my nails into a somewhat pointed tip, which only took a few minutes; the tips didn't need to be super sharp or anything; after all, they only needed to hold a head. Once I finished, I stabbed the eight decapitated heads onto the iron rods before placing them behind me into a half-circle, signaling Sebas to place the floating heads onto each improvised pike; I backed away to get a good look.

'Hmm, yep, that should be good; now for the last part. The flags.' Mused Diddy with a grin as he looked up toward the ceiling.

Jumping into the air, I propelled myself through the broken ceiling and continued doing so until I arrived at the highest point of the palace, where two rather large flags were swaying in the wind. The bottom flag had a symbol of a red circle surrounded by a hollow circle, with four red triangles pointing in the four cardinal directions on the white flag; the top flag was also white and had five blue circles in the cardinal directions with one in the middle while the words World Govt, were printed at the bottom. They were the flags of the Briss Kingdom and World Government, respectively.

Gripping the pole, I ripped it off the palace's roof before returning to the throne room, only to see Janet already preparing to take a picture.

"Hehe, alright, Freyja and Sebas; everything is ready; time for the picture!" Declared Diddy with a smirk as he sat on the ground just before the half-circle of heads.
