Chapter 174: Freyja Holmes

Grunting in annoyance, half at the fact that the Strawhats weren't present and half because Freyja was proving to be actually helpful, something that's quite uncommon.

"Tsk, at least we know where they are at now." Said Diddy with an annoyed expression as he glanced at Freyja before turning around and walking away while clicking his tongue.

"Hmm, where are you two going?" Asked Freyja curiously with a raised eyebrow as she finished drinking the man's semen directly from the source before looking at Diddy and Sebas, with only the latter responding.

"We're currently trying to track the Strawhats, specifically their member, Ms. Robin, as she has some knowledge we require for Trenza's safety." Replied Sebas as he turned and glanced at Freyja, who was using her unnaturally long tongue to wipe the remaining semen off her cheek, before adorning a thoughtful expression.

"Hmm, Trenza? This sounds mildly interesting, so I'll tag along as well. I've just finished draining the men of this town, so I've got nothing left to do here." Remarked Freyja with a nod as she floated off the bed and landed on the ground before grabbing her clothes: short shorts too small for her, fishnet leggings, a bikini top, a crop-top jacket, and boots.

"Tch, whatever, just don't annoy me." Said Diddy in an irritated tone as he growled at Freyja before leaving the room and heading downstairs, Sebas and Freyja following from behind.

"One second, let me get Scar; almost forget about him." Commented Freyja as she quickly turned around and opened a door that led to another room where Scar was sleeping in a comfortable bed before she gently picked him up and left.

"Hoho, he seems exhausted; you and he must've gone at it for some time." Said Sebas with a soft chuckle as he looked at Scar, seeing the exhaustion all over his body, while Freyja slightly smiled.

"Heh; he's gotten much better, but he still can't last more than half an hour with me; though, he's doing much better than every other man. Do you wish to test your endurance, Sebas?" Replied Freyja with a faint smirk as she looked at Scar peacefully sleeping in her arms before glancing up at Sebas with a perverted expression, using her tail to try and caress his butt, though he promptly stopped it.

"Hoho, there is no need for that, Freyja; I already know my endurance is something rather shameful; I'd prefer to keep my dignity if possible. Besides, I've done it plenty of times back in my younger days that I might as well be all pooped out." Remarked Sebas with a laugh as he straightened his tie while stopping Freyja's tail by erecting a psychic wall between them, causing her to frown slightly, sigh, and shake her head.

"Well, if you insist, Sebas, just know the opportunity will always remain available." Said Freyja with a reluctant nod as she retracted her tail back into her body while blowing a kiss toward Sebas, who nodded with a smile.

Ignoring those two, we left the building, appearing back in the front yard, which was still filled with unconscious people, though I made sure none of them were pleasuring themselves, well, mainly men; I pretty much ignored the woman. Once we exited the yard without getting sprayed on, we walked through the city, passing the spot where I was almost covered in a man's jizz, before approaching our ship in the distance.

"U-Ugh, my body is killing me." Muttered Trenza with a painful expression and frizzled hair as she leaned over the railing, only to spot the three approaching.

"Feeling better, Trenza?" Asked Sebas as he and Freyja floated onto the ship while Diddy jumped, all three landing on the front of the ship.

"Yeah, though no thanks to, Captain; I'll still occasionally convulse from the residue lightning in my system." Replied Trenza with an exasperated nod as she glanced at Sebas while holding her head, only to glare at Diddy, who snorted before promptly ignoring her.

"Stop standing around; go and put Scar down, or we're leaving without you." Stated Diddy aggressively as he glared at Freyja, who scoffed before walking towards the Captain's quarters.

Once Freyja returned from her room, I leaped back into the air, causing Nimbus to emerge from my feet and keep me floating while Sebas hovered with Trenza, who was convulsing.

"That's new; don't tell me it's something that'll make you stronger." Remarked Freyja with an ugly expression as she looked at Nimbus, which Diddy was standing atop while she, herself, spread her wings and flew into the air.

Faintly smirking at the now irritated Freyja, I turned around and flew toward the upperyard in the distance while Freyja grumbled under her breath about Nimbus.

"So, why do we specifically need Robin?" Asked Freyja curiously as she glanced at Sebas while the four of them flew through the swampy forest.

"We've found an ancient ruined city, along with unique writings on a golden door, which is actually an ancient language from nearly a millennium ago, though it was lost within the Void Century, so we decided to search for the only expert we knew on the matter, Ms. Robin." Replied Sebas as he looked at Freyja to his right, who was nodding with a thoughtful expression.

"Void Century? What's that?" Asked Freyja, her words causing Sebas to open his mouth, though before he could reply, Diddy grunted in annoyance.

"Well, I'll save the long explanation for later; to put it simply, the Void Century is a century that has been completely forgotten about, thanks to the World Government. However, there are these stone cubes called poneglyphs scattered around the world that apparently hold information about the void century; though I've never seen one, this is all information I've acquired from our local expert." Remarked Sebas lightly as he gave Freyja a brief summary, causing her to nod before glancing at Trenza.

"So, what does this all have to do with Trenza?" Asked Freyja curiously as she eyed Trenza, who had just tilted her head in confusion.

"Eh, me? What are you talking about, Freyja?" Said Trenza in complete confusion, which only confused Freyja some more, though Sebas came to save the day.

"This doesn't have anything to do with Trenza, Freyja." Commented Sebas while shaking his head, causing Freyja to furrow her brows before a slight glow appeared in her eyes.

"Trenza, what happened?" Asked Freyja seductively as she charmed Trenza, turning her into one of her slaves.

"When I gazed at the ancient script, I felt a sudden pain in my head-" Replied Trenza emotionlessly with clouded eyes, though before she could finish speaking, Sebas forcefully pushed Fryeja's bewitching charm out from her head.

"Freyja, please do not charm her." Stated Sebas with a frown as he glared at Freyja, who mischievously smirked before nodding.

"I won't; my apologies, Sebas, but it seems to me you and Diddy aren't telling me the whole truth." Remarked Freyja as she raised her hands into the air before glancing at Diddy, who was sitting on Nimbus while flying.

"That's the truth, Freyja; a stupid leech got into the ear, and Captain killed it." Said Trenza in slight annoyance as she looked at Freyja without the cloudy look in her eyes.

"A leech? I hope you don't take me for a fool; you're telling me a leech just so happens to cause you pain almost immediately after you happen to see this ancient language? Are you really going to tell me that doesn't sound the least bit suspicious to you, Trenza?" Questioned Freyja with a faint smirk, her words causing Trenza to suddenly frown as she glanced up at Sebas, who kept a straight face.

"Besides, what makes this completely unbelievable was the fact that Diddy wouldn't have allowed a leech to get anywhere near that close to him; he'd have burnt it to death before it got that close as he's got quite a hatred for leeches, which is something only I would know." Added Freyja with a grin as she glanced at Trenza, who was intensely staring at Sebas before she, herself, did the same.

"Now that you mention it, I never did see that supposed leech. Father, did you and Captain lie to me?" Asked Trenza with a hardened gaze; the addition of Freyja wasn't helping Sebas, who sported a troubled expression before eventually sighing.

"Haa, yes, Captain and I lied to you; there was never any leech to begin with. What actually happened was that you viewed those ancient words and felt immense pain throughout your head, and the cause for why still eludes Captain and I." Stated Sebas with a nod and a sigh, his words causing Trenza to glare at him while Freyja just nodded quietly.

"Tsk, not cool, Father, or you, Captain. Though if it really wasn't because of a leech, why am I not in pain like before?" Questioned Trenza with an annoyed expression while crossing her arms, only to furrow her brows in curiosity, causing Sebas to sigh once again.

"I'm currently suppressing the pain within your brain, as I'm sure you don't wish to experience such agonizing pain constantly." Replied Sebas, his words causing Trenza to shiver slightly while nodding, only to be once again riddled with confusion.

"N-No, not at all! That pain was one of the worst things I've ever felt; it was like my mind was being ripped apart. Though, if that was the case, why did you bother even lying in the first place? It makes no sense." Remarked Trenza fearfully before looking between Diddy and Sebas in confusion, while Freyja was intently eyeing only Diddy.

I'd like to add that I'm feeling better, so the schedule will return to usual; expect chapters to return every day, except for Sunday, of course.👍🏾
