Chapter 253: Diddy Vs Kizaru

Watching Mael, Sebas, and Freyja fighting against numerous Vice admirals who were all trying to attack Luffy, I grinned before kicking the air, lunging towards them, preparing to join them, yet the instant I arrived, I swiftly tilted my head to the side, while raising Naga-sa, dodging a light beam and blocking a lightning kick.

"Ho, well, aren't you stronger." Said Kizaru lightly as he looked at Diddy, who simply grinned while lightning arched across his bo-staff.

"Hehe, why yes I am." Stated Diddy with a feral grin as he flexed his muscles before pushing Kizaru back, only for him to turn into a flash of light while lunging right toward Luffy.

Seeing what was about to happen in the future, I clicked my tongue before turning around and swinging Naga-sa at Luffy, hitting him away just in time for Kizaru to miss while he landed beside an ugly person with a massive head.

"Awe, I missed." Muttered Kizaru calmly as he glanced at Luffy before raising his leg, only for a blackish foot to suddenly grab his head and slam him into the ground.

"You know, I'm not really a fan of how you marines operate; what's so fun about the strong picking on the weak? Isn't it more fun for the strong to pick on the stronger?" Remarked Diddy with a feral grin as he looked down at Kizaru, pushing his head deeper into the ground.

"What a rebel." Said Kizaru with a raised eyebrow as he glanced at Diddy before raising his finger and pointing it at Diddy, whom he launched a beam at, forcing him backward while leaving behind a trail of lightning.

Dodging out of the way, I landed on the ground in front of Luffy, who was just given what sounded like some hormone boosters from that ugly man with a massive head, causing me to smile as I reminisced about my past life.

'What I wouldn't give for some performance-enhancing drugs right now.' Thought Diddy with a feral grin, looking far more menacing than usual given his haki-clad body, causing him to take on a black hue.

While Luffy was getting some hormone-boosting drugs, I speedily lunged at Kizaru, who had just stood, leaving behind a trail of lightning as I moved far faster than ever before. Thanks to my improvements in armament haki, I was able to coat my entire body in haki, strengthening it, which included my insides and, specifically, my nervous system.

(Note: I'd like to point out that the only reason he's able to coat his nervous system in haki is thanks to immaculate control over his entire body.)

The nervous system is too fragile to withstand the bombardment of lightning to forcefully increase my speed and reaction time, but if I coat my entire body in haki, nothing is stopping me; the only problem is, my haki isn't infinite, so I do have a time limit while using this ability of mine, and it didn't increase my strength, so while I was able to keep up with Kizaru, I was still his punching bag.

"Aren't you fast, though? Still not fast enough." Said Kizaru as he kicked Diddy in the stomach, causing him to spit blood while getting flung far into the distance.

'F-Fuck, I'm really pushing myself; my body is still in terrible shape from Whitebeard, and now I'm fighting against an Admiral.' Thought Diddy with a painful expression as he clutched his stomach while blood leaked from his mouth, only for him to wildly grin like a maniac.

"Hehe, I can't wait to see how much stronger I'll get once this is over!" yelled Diddy with a smile as he kicked the air, speedily flying back towards Kizaru, who was now fighting against Marco.

I wasn't a fan of jumping someone; hell, if anything, I wanted to get jumped, but given how neither Marco nor I were actually a match to Kizaru, I just accepted it. Watching Marco get kicked right towards me, I rolled over his body and grabbed his foot before tossing him right back towards Kizaru while I followed up right behind him.
