147 Chapter 147: Lost

It's been about two days since the killing of Saint Xalrons; we've thankfully got away safely, and since then, we haven't seen even a hint of marines or the world government, which is good but also normal since we usually don't just find them sailing around in the ocean, it's so huge after all.

Anyway, once we finally halted our escape and returned to sailing like usual, Mael and Sebas both fainted as they were still heavily injured from the battle; after all, they weren't Freyja or me; they couldn't heal within a matter of a day or two; granted, it's not like Freyja was completely fine, she was also exhausted. I wasn't much better than Freyja; in the last fifteen or so minutes, both Mael and Sebas had reached their limit, and if I hadn't picked up their slack, they probably wouldn't have lasted the whole hour.

I'll tell you what, carrying a ship, which was still full of gold, while also moving through the air at my fastest speed wasn't the hardest thing I've done, but it also wasn't the easiest; gold is a dense metal and very heavy. The fact that I also used advanced, the name I came up with whenever I forcefully increased my heart rate multiple times, had left my heart injured, which only heightened the difficulty; however, in the end, everything went pretty smoothly, and no one died, and we're sailing across paradise without a single worry.

"Diddy, we're lost." Stated Freyja, sitting at the helm as she turned around and glanced at Diddy, who was resting in his hammock.

"Eh? What do you mean we're lost? Did the log pose not reset on those man-eating islands?" Questioned Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he glanced at Freyja, who shook her head and outstretched her hand, showing her log pose, which was spinning around wildly.

"What the hell? I could've sworn one of the first things I did was ask that Heracles dude how long it would take for a log pose to reset. Oh, now I remember; bastard never gave me an answer, and then I got sidetracked with Mael and all that." Remarked Diddy with a frown as he sat upright before clicking his tongue and inwardly cursing Heracles.

"Hmph, I should've expected as much from you; can't do a single thing correctly, and because of that, we're lost at sea." Said Freyja with a huff of annoyance as she turned back around in her seat while lazily gripping the helm.

"Tch, for the record, Succubus, this is probably the best outcome; I've no doubt the Marines and world government have discovered the death of Saint Xalrons. With Gion still alive, she's mostly spilled the beans by now, which means they know we did it, and anyone with half a brain would set up an ambush at the next island after the Boin Archipelago. If we had stupidly gone to the next island, I'm almost certain we'd have fallen into their trap and gotten killed, so really, you should be thanking me. Do you know how hard it is to find a single ship in the massive ocean?" Declared Didy with a grunt as he stood up and approached Freyja before leaning on her chair and glancing at her.

"Tsk, hate it when you make sense; still, while your theory is probably correct, that doesn't change our predicament. We're still lost." Stated Freyja with a click of her tongue as she folded her arms and kicked her feet on the helm before looking at Diddy, who wore a thoughtful expression.

"True. Do you know which way we've been sailing?" Asked Diddy as he hopped on the railing, looking at Freyja while tapping his chin.

"No idea; the other compass is useless here, remember." Remarked Freyja lightly as she grabbed the normal compass from between her breasts, though the needle spun around in circles, similar to the log pose.

"Lame. Whatever, I didn't really intend to visit that place now, but we're currently out of options; you've got that eternal pose to Angel Island?" Asked Diddy with a frown before shaking his head and shrugging his arms, while Freyja stored the compass in the cleavage of her breasts before grabbing the eternal pose.

"Yeah, what about it?" Asked Freyja curiously as she held the eternal pose, which was pointing at a higher angle than before.

"We're going to use it to get to find an island. While you were under an illusion, Mirage had said in order to reach Sky Island, we must take the knock-up stream, and the knock-up stream is close to Mock town, which means if we follow where the eternal pose is pointing until it's pointing directly above us, we should be nearby an island. You understand that, right? You don't need me to dumb it down, do you?" Stated Diddy with a slight smirk as he looked at the eternal pose within Freyja's hands before mocking her.

"Tch, yeah, I got it; I'm not stupid like you; I've lived most of my life as a noble, and being a noble isn't just wealth and power; I have to keep that wealth and power; it's not just given to me." Remarked Freyja with a grunt of annoyance as he glared at Diddy, who merely chuckled while stuffing the eternal pose back into her breasts before grabbing the helm and turning it.

"Hehe, if you say so. However, I'm curious: how the hell are you storing that all between your breasts? Is that an ability or what?" Asked Diddy curiously as he approached Freyja and stared intently at her cleavage, looking for something suspicious, though to no avail.

"Heh, nope, it's all-natural; this is what big breasts can get you. Instead of that small-breasted Trenza, I'm a much better romantic partner." Said Freyja with a lustful smirk as she glanced at Diddy while jiggling her large breasts, emitting a scent that would turn any man into nothing but a sex-starved beast, though it had little effect on him other than making him slightly aroused.

"First off, I was interested in how you store items in your cleavage like it's a duffle bag, not how big your breasts are; secondly, why did you bring up Trenza? Do you think I'm interested in her or something? We're not even of the same species; wouldn't that be bestiality?" Questioned Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he backed away from Freyja's jiggling breasts, which were hypnotizing, before returning to his spot on the railing.

"Well, to point it out, compared to everyone else, I've noticed you seem slightly protective of Trenza." Said Freyja lightly, though all her words earned was a grunt from Diddy.

"Tch, yeah, 'cause she's the only good chef we have aboard; compared to the bland and poisoned food I used to eat, Trenza's cooking skills are godly." Replied Diddy nonchalantly while eyeing Freyja as if she was stupid, though she only slightly smiled.

"True, but I heard from Grand that you had ripped that nurse in half, the same nurse that Trenza had fought; you can be vicious and savage, Diddy, but I've never seen you do something like that. Ripping a heart out or decapitating someone is within the realm of Diddy, but vertically tearing someone in half is not something you'd do, and I should know I've lived with you for seven years, nearly half of your life; I know you better than anyone else alive." Remarked Freyja with a smirk as she leaned back and eyed Diddy, who lightly growled in annoyance.

"Cause that fucking nurse nearly killed the only good chef aboard." Said Diddy in slight anger while glaring at Freyja, whose expression was morphing into something he didn't like.

"You say that, but didn't you ask Janet if she could cook, and she said yes? If that's the case, now that you've got two chefs, why were you still so protective, Diddy? Hmm? I'm waiting to know why?" Asked Freyja, her entire face smiling as she eyed Diddy while sparks of lightning danced around him.

"Tch, enough of this stupid conversation, Freyja; I've no interest in Trenza; besides, why would I when you're superior to her in every way possible?" Stated Diddy with a deep growl while staring at Freyja, who simply shrugged her arms.

"Don't know; you should be the one answering that question. I do appreciate the compliment, Captain, though don't think that'll be enough to stop me from ripping your head off your body." Said Freyja with a slight smile while Diddy walked down the stairs, promptly ignoring Freyja.

'Tsk, annoying bitch.' Mused Diddy in irritation as he entered the lower deck while Trenza walked up the stairs.

"Hey, Captain." Said Trenza with a slight smile while she sported a new scar across her left cheek.

"What?" Asked Diddy lightly in an annoyed tone as he glanced at Trenza while the lightning subconsciously receded back into his body.

"Eh, nothing, I-I was just saying hello." Replied Trenza softly as she backed away from Diddy, noticing his bad mood.

"Tsk." Muttered Diddy as he continued walking, the lightning from before sparking across the top of his body.

"Haa, I wonder what was up with Captain." Said Trenza softly with a curious expression before shrugging her arms and forgetting about it, oblivious to the dangerous look Freyja gave her.

Walking down the stairs, I headed toward the kitchen, though while doing so, I heard Janet from inside the kitchen.

"Urgh, this fruit is fucking disgusting; who actually put this in the fridge?" Remarked Janet angrily as she spat out the fruit she had just eaten.
