Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Diddy Vs Demon!
"Hehehe, it seems I was correct." Said Diddy with a smirk as he licked his fangs while gazing at his freed allies, only to shift his focus to Imu, who was furrowing her brows.
"Ugh, finally! I'm free!" Said Janet with a sigh of relief as she leaped into the air, only for Sebas to catch her while he slowly stood up.
"Hoho, you sure took your sweet time, Captain; were you enjoying our suffering? It sure seemed that way." Asked Sebas with a faint chuckle as he glanced at Diddy while narrowing his eyes, causing Betty Morley, Karasu, and Dragon to do the same.
I didn't respond and simply flashed Sebas a smirk before swinging my bo-staff, creating a powerful gust of wind that washed through my surroundings, blowing away whatever debris was in the vicinity while eyeing Imu, whom the five elders surrounded.
"After learning everything, you still have the audacity to think you can defeat Lord Imu!?" Exclaimed Warcury coldly as he eyed Diddy while snorting, exhaling flames from his nostrils.
"Think? I don't think. I know. Whether Imu is a Demon, Devil, or God, it makes no difference to me; after all, I haven't eaten a devil fruit, so she holds no power over me." Replied Diddy with a smirk as he landed on the ground and slowly approached them, his words causing Imu to frown.
"Such arrogance!" Said Saturn through gritted teeth as his body trembled in fury at Diddy, though Imu's sudden movements calmed him down.
'Hmm, what's she doing?' Thought Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he briefly stopped while watching Imu suddenly raise her hands into the sky.
"In Sindarin… In Sindarin… In Sindarin…" Said Imu as she repeated those two exact words while her hands brightly glowed.
"That doesn't look good." Muttered Reiju softly as she glanced at Imu, who suddenly stopped speaking before snapping her eyes open.
The instant she opened her eyes, the glow of her hands faded, causing me to tilt my head in confusion, only for the tens of millions of soldiers to suddenly glow; following their glow, they quickly began to transform into various beasts, such as tigers, lions, Elephants, foxes, frogs, deers, etc., literally just about anything that lived on land. It was a freaky sight, though once they finished transforming, they all had the same bright red eyes as the five elders, causing me to narrow my eyes as I zapped one with a bolt of lightning, killing the transformed soldier.
"Heh, I expected as much… An unkillable army of zoan devil fruit users. That's honestly pretty impressive." Remarked Diddy lightly as he watched the soldier he had just killed rapidly heal in seconds, a feat previously exclusive to the five elders.
Although our army has managed to kill several million soldiers, it was but a small number when you consider the actual number that was present; so the fact that they were now essentially unkillable, well, at least unkillable to everyone else, it was going to be even more chaotic than before.
Imu didn't give any verbal order and simply pointed at me, causing the army of unkillable devil fruit users to suddenly release ferocious and vicious growls before dashing towards me while abandoning their weapons, looking to rely on their bodies as their weapons. However, before any of them could reach me, a powerful storm from seemingly nowhere appeared as sharp gusts of wind sliced through the army, cutting thousands in half while tiny yet deadly drops of water pierced their body.
Glancing at Dragon, I saw him floating in the middle of the storm as it shredded the soldiers to bits; unfortunately for him, the soldiers simply healed through everything while continuing to charge towards me; however, while killing them wasn't an option, that didn't mean you couldn't freeze them, and that's exactly what Lindbergh, Kuzan, and Chala did. With their combined effort, they created a massive wall that reached high into the sky, its peak hidden behind the clouds from the storm Dragon summoned.
"Heh, long time no see, Lindbergh; I see the only change you've experienced in the last two years in growing older… I'm rather disappointed." Remarked Diddy lightly as he glanced at Lindbergh, who scoffed while donning his goggles.
"Hoo, don't mind them, Kong." "Hehehe, we'll take care of them!" Said Kuzan and Chala, respectively, as they stood beside each other and eyed the incoming army of beasts donned in armor.
Following their words, Bullet, Blackbeard, and King, each leading the Frenzy, Blackbeard, and Beast pirates, respectively, stood in front of the enormous Ice wall.
"Zehahaha, Earth Shaker!" Yelled Blackbeard loudly as he violently punched the air, cracking the very sky while killing thousands of the approaching beasts, only for them to all heal within seconds from their numerous deadly wounds.
"Ultimate Faust!" Yelled Bullet loudly as he slammed his fist onto the ground, creating a massive crack atop the Redline, which swallowed hundreds of soldiers, yet it was merely a drop in the bucket.
"Tankyudon!" Stated King as he speedily flew just above the ground in his hybrid form with his flame snuffed, further increasing his speed and allowing him to slash hundreds of beasts in half, yet the result was the same.
"Ha, I can't already tell we're going to be useless." "No, just you. I've eaten a devil fruit." Said Trenza and Auger, respectively, as the former sighed, only for the latter to shake his head before suddenly vanishing.
While the others were dealing with the unkillable army, which suddenly strengthened as Sengoku, the three Admirals, and Akoji joined the battle, worst of all, they were also granted the unkillable status like the tens of millions of soldiers.
'Oh, they're going to be in for a rude awakening; however, with the Revolutionary Army assisting now, they should be able to hold out for some time.' Thought Diddy lightly as he gazed at the battle, only to glance at the two people landing beside him, causing him to faintly smirk.
"Tsk, oh, I'm going to rip out all eight of your legs!" Stated Freyja viciously as she spat blood onto the ground while engulfing herself in demonic flames, increasing her destructive capabilities.
"Worororo, that sounds fun." Said Kaido with a ferocious expression as he tightly clenched his weapon, faintly dancing with lightning, fire, and wind while glaring at the five elders.
Laughing, I licked my fangs and lunged towards the six in the distance while Kaido and Freyja followed right behind me.
"Hahaha, this will be where the World Government and you, Imu, fall!" Yelled Diddy with excitement as lighting obscured his figure, only for him to speedily blitz right past the five elders before appearing in front of Imu.
"Beastly Incursion!" Stated Diddy as he violently swung his bo-staff, knocking Imu, who managed to block the attack, far into the distance, prompting him to chase after her.
"Lord Imu!" Yelled the five elders simultaneously as they turned towards Diddy, only for Kaido and Freyja to leave a gaping hole in their bodies from their combined attack.
"I'm definitely killing you, Saturn!" Stated Freyja with a sadistic grin as she grabbed one of Saturn's eight legs before brutality tearing it off his body and hitting him with it.
"Worororo, I love the viciousness, Freyja!" Yelled Kaido with a grin as he took a deep breath before releasing a massive fireball that engulfed Peter, burning him alive while he constantly healed.

I refused to give Imu a chance to retaliate as I constantly attacked her, forcing her entirely onto the defensive while, yet none of my attacks managed to get through since she was using several different devil fruits to block, mitigate, and deflect the force behind my attacks; it was like I was punching an indestructible pillow.
Clenching my bo-staff, causing it to grow as it quickly reached a size large enough to dwarf a mountain, I slammed it down towards Imu, causing the Redline to tremble, yet I was promptly forced backward from a powerful attack which knocked Naga-sa back.
"All that… For a drop of blood." Said Imu softly as she glanced at the cut on her cheek before glancing at Diddy, whose grin only deepened.
"Hahahaha!!" Said Diddy with a feral grin as he attacked Imu, who began to retaliate.
Dodging her massive fist, I pushed her back, only for her legs to turn into springs while she leaped off the air, prompting her speedily lunge right for me as she kicked me in the stomach, flinging me into the distance.
However, just as I gathered my bearings, I was met with an utterly massive fire breath heading my way, prompting me to morph Naga-sa into a bat as I swung it at the incoming attack that engulfed the whole sky in an ocean of flames.
"Hahaha, who says I can't hit fire!?" Exclaimed Diddy with a grin as he dispersed the fire breath in two while lunging right through the opening as he dashed towards Imu.
"C'mon! Don't tell me this is how you defeated a God!? Let me experience the true power of the Queen of Devil fruits!" Added Diddy with a ferocious expression as he violently swung his bo-staff at Imu, knocking her far off into the distance, though she remained unharmed, having absorbed his attack.
