One Piece: Chaos Kong

Chapter 77: Frenzy Pirates Regroup

"I can't help but wonder, Trenza, I intend to carry you, so how do you expect to hold all those bags?" Asked Diddy curiously while eyeing Trenza, who merely smirked before dropping the bags at his feet.

"You'll be carrying them obviously, Captain; I don't trust myself to carry them and hold onto you without falling off." Remarked Trenza with a slight shake of the head as she approached Diddy and helped herself onto his back.

"Hmm, I see, and what makes you think I'll actually carry them? Am I not your Captain? Why would I be doing such menial labor?" Questioned Diddy with an understanding nod as he blankly glanced at Trenza, who was latched onto his back.

"Because you owe me, Captain; don't try to forget about the fact that I carried your heavy ass for multiple kilometers to say safety. Did you think I was doing that only out of the goodness of my heart?" Stated Trenza as she fearlessly stared at Diddy, who growled at her in annoyance.

Her words were quite annoying, but honestly, she wasn't entirely wrong; she did indeed assist me when I couldn't even move myself; still, carrying luggage was so tedious.

"Tch, fine; I'll carry your stupid luggage, but just know this is a one-time deal. Don't think I'm your personal chauffeur all of a sudden just cause I'm helping you out." Remarked Diddy with annoyance as he wrapped his tail through the handles of the bags and lifted them before exiting the store, only for Trenza to stop him.

"Wait, where are you going, Captain? I still have more things to carry; that was merely the first batch." Said Trenza as she boldly pulled Diddy's golden brown fur, causing him to stop while he hissed in pain.

"Pull my fur again, and I'll bathe myself in your blood." Stated Diddy with an intense frown as he glared at Trenza, who lightly chuckled in response.

"Alright, alright, no need to get so worked up, Captain; just go to the back of the store; that's where I placed my remaining bags of clothes. I would've left them with me, but the changing room was getting too cramped." Declared Trenza as she softly patted Diddy's shoulder to calm him while pointing toward the corner of the store, though her actions only furthered his annoyance.

It was taking a good amount of willpower not to throw Trenza off my back and leave her here to burn, but as I was already helping her, I decided just to get it over with so I wouldn't have to owe her later; besides what I was doing for her was easy, she just made everything annoying.

Grumbling to myself, I approached the corner of the store Trenza was pointing to, and what I saw caused me to really consider the idea of throwing her in a burning building as I could see roughly twenty large bags full of clothes, let alone me carrying it, where will she even store this many clothes in the ship? It's not like our ship is large, and the same goes for her cabin; hell, even the captain's quarters, which Freyja occupies, wouldn't be able to store that many clothes.

"That's all of them; there should be 22 bags. I wanted to get more, but I figured you probably wouldn't be able to carry anymore, so I limited myself to 30 bags in total." Stated Trenza calmly with a slightly nefarious smile as she looked at Diddy, getting revenge for all the times he's angered her.

"I appreciate the thoughtfulness, Trenza." Said Diddy angrily as he took a deep breath, stopping himself from slamming Trenza into the ground below.

Taking a few deep breaths to calm my anger, I grabbed all the bags, filling up all the space to carry anything on my tail and both arms; I was forced to hold my arms out horizontally if I wanted to walk anywhere.

Exiting the store after also setting it on fire, Trenza and I were instantly hit with a potent burnt smell while smoke wafted about through the air, slightly hampering our ability to see, but that's about it.
