One Piece: Chaos Kong

Chapter 130: Five Vice-admirals

"Kill Saint Xalrons? A Celestial Dragon?" Questioned Janet in astonishment as she looked out at Diddy.

Seeing Janet's surprised expression, I grinned and nodded, expecting her to be even more astonished, and while she was, it wasn't in the way I was expecting it to be at all.

"Wonderful! Do you know what kind of headliners that'll get me!? Chaos Kong, Captain of the Frenzy Pirates, kills Saint Xalrons! You'll be the talk of the world for weeks and go down in history as one of the only people to kill a Celestial Dragon." Exclaimed Janet in glee as she squeezed her face through the cage bars and looked up at Diddy, who tilted his head, slightly surprised by her reaction.

'Hmm, wasn't what I was expecting from her, but she seems really passionate about spreading information.' Thought Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he generously separated the bars, allowing Janet to retract her head before returning them to their previous positions.

"You seem more excited about getting a headliner for your newspaper than being set free; you're a weird one, Janet, though I suppose that's why I like you." Remarked Diddy with a slight smirk as he looked at Janet, who grinned in response.

"And if you actually kill Saint Xalrons, I'll love you! This will be the biggest scoop in history!" Declared Janet enthusiastically as she found it hard to contain her excitement, though thankfully, Diddy dangled a bucket of cold water above her head.

"IF I kill Saint Xalrons, he's still alive, and I'm not entirely sure if we can even kill him; if we make a single mistake, we'll have at least one Admiral on our ass. I love fighting strong people, but I'm not stupid enough to run headlong into a suicidal situation, so if we make a mistake, we're instantly ditching this place and leaving you behind." Declared Diddy seriously as he eyed Janet, succeeding in calming her down while she regained her composure.

"Yes, you're right; I must not get too ahead of myself; a proper news reporter doesn't lose their cool." Muttered Janet with a nod as she neared the bars and looked at Diddy.

"So, what can I do to help?" Asked Janet solemnly as she looked up at Diddy, surprising him even more.

"Help? Do you intend to assist us in taking the life of a Celestial Dragon?" Questioned Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he skeptically looked at Janet, who unhesitantly nodded.

"Yes, and I know the repercussions if we fail or if we happen to succeed, and I currently don't have anything to lose. I'll either get killed after failing to kill Saint Xalrons, or I'll stay as a slave, return to Mariejois, and, funnily enough, If I'm lucky, which I am, I'll simply be raped. However, I have all to gain; if we win and manage to escape, I've got a massive scoop, I'm no longer a slave, and I'll get to reunite with my favorite pirates!" Declared Janet with a nod before lightly smiling towards the end, causing Diddy to chuckle amidst his grinning expression.

"Hehe, we're just your favorite pirates since we didn't attempt to kill you, rape you, or imprison you." Said Diddy, his words causing Janet to smile sheepishly, though she still nodded.

"Well, I like the way you think, but you, unfortunately, can't do anything right now; I'm currently on a stealth mission, and while I could break you out of that cage silently, the other slaves will notice your disappearance, not to mention the world Government agents that walk around this place." Replied Diddy with a smirk before furrowing his brows and shaking his head, causing Janet to frown, though only for a few seconds.

"Heh, if that's the case, while I may not be able to assist you directly, I can indirectly assist you. I've been on this ship for a few days, and I've spoken with the slaves and a few of the passing agents, so I know a thing or two about this ship." Stated Janet with a wicked smirk as she rubbed her hands together like an evil villain and Diddy joined her with his devilish grin.
