Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Where is Robin?
"Tch, so you're essentially useless, Sebas, and we need Robin." Said Diddy with a scowl, eying Sebas with crossed arms while tapping his feet as he ignored Trenza's glare.
"Well, I wouldn't quite call me useless; without me, we wouldn't have any clues, and yes, we need Ms. Robin." Replied Sebas lightly with a nod while scratching his bearded chin before glancing at Diddy, who bared his fangs and growled before walking forward.
"So, we need someone that we have absolutely no idea where they are at? Tell me, how do you expect us to fucking do that, Seba?" Asked Diddy in annoyance as he passed Sebas and walked down the golden stairs, followed by Sebas and a hunched-back Trenza.
"Well, we do know they're in Skypiea, so we're not entirely clueless, Captain." Said Sebas as he trailed a few steps behind Diddy, which was smart since he had just slammed Naga-sa on the step he was about to walk on.
"Another smart-ass remark, and I'm using your head as a bowling ball." Declared Diddy as he eyed Sebas with ferocity, prompting him to clear his throat before nodding.
Turning back around, I hoisted Naga-sa onto my back and continued to walk down the stairs, though while doing so, I sensed both Trenza and Sebas staring at my back, something I usually would've ignored, but like any person, being subjected to such intense pain would cause them to be easily provoked, just like how I was right now.
"Tch, what; do I have something on my back?" Asked Diddy aggressively as he twisted his neck like an owl and eyed Trenza and Sebas while walking down the stairs.
"Yeah, though, it's a little weird, Captain; you have like a tattoo, but instead of it being on your skin, it's on your fur, like paint." Replied Trenza softly as she neared Diddy, closely inspecting his back, while Sebas inwardly praised her courage.
Grunting, I looked down at my back, and just as Trenza said, there was a Tattoo, though from my angle, I didn't have a good view, which she must've realized since she reached into her pocket and opened her flippable mirror and held it for me to see my back. Looking at the mirror, I saw my furry back covered in my rather lustrous golden fur, which wasn't surprising as I don't really shed, but I did fight with Mael about two weeks ago, resulting in all of my fur being burnt, so this was a new coat of fur.
Eyeing the Tattoo, which took up nearly my entire back, there was a fluffy yellow cloud on my fur, and if I had to guess, it formed the moment I had absorbed Nimbus; I had never thought about getting a tattoo since my fur was already rather beautiful, not to mention with how thick it was, it would be covered entirely. However, with the tattoo engraved onto both my skin and fur, I didn't have to worry about that; besides, despite the tattoo being relatively simple, it looked pretty cool, and I'd like to admirer it, but the pounding my head was taking, wasn't allowing me the opportunity.
'I'll look at it later; first things first, get rid of this freaking pain!' Thought Diddy with a faint smirk, which turned into an intense frown before he looked back straight, prompting Trenza to store her mirror in her pocket.
"It honestly looks quite nice on you, Captain; it makes you look much more intimidated, as weird as that sounds, considering it's just a cloud." Stated Trenza thoughtfully as she trailed her hand across Diddy's tattoo, causing his tail to subconsciously wag back and forth like a dog.
"Hoho, I don't think Captain needs that Trenza; he's already plenty intimidating, and as a matter of fact, he needs something that'll make him more friendly." Remarked Sebas with a soft chuckle as he glanced at Diddy's new tattoo before looking at Trenza, who nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, you're probably right, Father; Captain is very intimidating. I nearly pissed myself when I first laid eyes on him; it was like looking into the eyes of a ferocious beast. And while it's still the same, I at least have a much better understanding of said ferocious beast, not to mention I'm on his good side." Stated Trenza with a faint smirk, reminiscing their first meeting, which happened roughly three months ago, not even that long ago.
"You're on my good side, currently." Said Diddy with a frown as he poked Trenza's face with his tail, causing her to nod awkwardly.
"Yes, currently."
Once we arrived on the ground, I looked at the sky, which was currently dusk, before frowning even harder, since now that it was going to be night, coupled with the pain I was experiencing, it would prove decently challenging to locate Robin.
'Fucking annoying.' Thought Diddy with a scowl as he suddenly picked Trenza up using his tail before leaping through the sky.
Just as I leaped into the sky while carrying Trenza, Nimbus, the fluffy yellow cloud, emerged before my feet and flew me through the skies as we headed where we had initially come from.
"The sudden cloud tattoo makes sense now; was that what was on the golden pedestal, Captain?" Asked Sebas as he flew through the air beside Diddy while observing Nimbus, which left a yellow trail whenever it went, though it quickly faded.
"Tsk, yeah; it's called Nimbus." Replied Diddy as he looked down at his feet, glancing at Nimbus before ignoring it, not in the mood to do anything except search for Robin.
"Um, can you hold me differently, Captain?" Asked Trenza lightly with a small smile, causing Diddy to glance at her while his tail was wrapped around her waist before wholly ignoring her.
While flying above the ruined city, we eventually left the place and entered the forest once more, as I intended to return back to our ship, hoping to find the Strawhat's ship, which I could then use to track Robin's scent. However, while flying through the forest, the trees in our general direction violently moved, along with the sound of hissing, causing me to believe it was just another stupid snake, which I wasn't in the mood to deal with, so I just ignored it. Passing by where the snake was said to be, the trees moved out of the way, and a giant blue python appeared; it was easily the biggest snake I'd seen up here, and its size was comparable to some Sea kings, granted, on the smaller scale.
While passing the python, we glanced at each other, but I was wholly uninterested in the stupid snake, so I didn't even bother to bare my fangs at it as a warning before continuing ahead; however, the python suddenly released a loud, aggressive hiss, one that I'm all too familiar with and next thing we know, the python was chasing after us with bloodthirst in its eyes.
"Um, it looks quite pissed; did we happen to wander into its territory?" Asked Trenza in slight nervousness as she watched the massive python chase behind them, bulldozing through every tree in its way while fiercely glaring at them.
Hearing the python behind us, I suddenly came to a halt while releasing Trenza, causing her to continue flying forward before gravity took hold of her, but Sebas was there to keep her afloat.
"I can use this chance to relieve some stress and anger." Muttered Diddy with a savage expression as he bared his fangs and nails while flying right toward the charging python on Nimbus.
Given how big the snake was, it would've been more efficient to use Naga-sa, but I didn't care if I killed this thing; I just needed something to vent my stress, anger, and emotions on, and this so happened to be right here. Leaping off Nimbus, I lunged right at the snake, who opened his mouth, swallowing me whole as I dove down the python's throat before eventually arriving within its stomach.
Kicking the air, I used my nails to tear right through its stomach as I began to wreak havoc on the snake's insides; darting around, I swiped, slashed, kicked, punched, bite, and tore through every part of the snake, causing it to thrash about, which in turn only served to spur me on. Piercing right through its muscles, followed by its skin, I emerged from the monster, its blood, organs, and other stuff covering me as I looked at the snake's eyes before sporting a wicked smile.
Lunging back toward the snake, I kicked it in the face before stabbing my nails into its jaw and slashing, tearing right through its jaw; even its bones did little to stop my advances. It tried to snap its mouth shut, but I stopped it with one hand and used the other to grab its forked tongue before yanking it right out of its mouth, causing it to release a shriek, which was like music to my ears.
Pushing the snake's mouth open, I exited from its mouth before landing on top of it, only to kick it toward the toward; flipping my body, I propelled myself right for its head while outstretching my hands and spinning, turning myself into a bullet as I pierced its skull and dived through its brain before emerging into the ground.
Although the snake was now dead, I continued to mutilate its body until I felt the steam within my body slowly fade away before I was eventually empty.
"The pain is still there, but I feel slightly better now." Muttered Diddy lightly as he took a bite of the snake while sitting atop its skull, right beside the hole he made.
