Kairo could see the problem with the abyss—he could get sucked into it if he went too deep, so he would put a limit on himself not to go that deep into the abyss. After all, he wanted to be in charge of his own body.
Which was quite ironic considering this body used to belong to someone else; he kinda just appeared in there.
Though some vestige of the old host was still there, like his burning hatred alongside other stuff.
Kairo would need to learn about them all in order to fully fuse with this body, basically so he was aware of his own actions. Apparently, he had some trigger words which included, but were not limited to, Akainu's name in particular, anything to do with his own village, his parents, along with other stuff he was currently unaware of.
"The Strawhats don't meet an admiral till Sabaody, I'll train hard to be able to put up a fight."
He had some time to get stronger. He'd rather not depend on this jutsu—his original plan was simply to use them as sparring partners for training.
Speaking of which... a diabolical smile made its way onto his lips.
Time skip – night.
Kairo returned back to camp. He looked normal enough, as if he hadn't spent the last 8 hours or so throwing hands with undead summons.
His control was getting better, and the abyssal corruption did not seem to spread. Cool. Though he wondered if he could find a way to stop it from spreading, 'cause he ain't trying to be 50% corrupted.
'He' may want power no matter the cost, but Kairo cared quite a lot about the cost.
He didn't want to lose his soul. He had read way too many manga and doujin to know why this was a bad thing. Also yes, doujin works too, since, you know, hypnotization stories do exist. In some of them, if you ignore the smut, there was some plot, and the person hypnotizing them usually had a price to pay for such a power.
Like that dude who could stop time—he only had a limited amount of time to stop, but he didn't know that.
So one time, while he was once more fucking an unwilling schoolgirl, time froze... permanently for him. There were two endings—either that one, or every girl getting pregnant and all of them having the same dad, and him having to pay the consequence.
TL;DR, all of this to say: there was no such thing as free power in this world. There was always something to balance shit out.
Yes, he had been beating on Enel and Crocodile for a while. They seemed weaker than their actual selves, but that didn't matter much, he was fighting with flames off anyway.
Plus, they regen hella fast, so he was actually pushed to his brink there. This would be a good way to train his haki in the future.
It was all about willpower. He wondered what Luffy was doin—
Kairo paused. Luffy was holding 6 big pieces of meat, and in an instant he was gargling that shit down.
Zoro was drinking booze straight from the barrel, Usopp was scamming some people, Nami may have been stealing gold, Chopper seemed to be in fairyland with the candy he was being fed.
The only normal one was Robin, who was reading a book.
As he turned his gaze around, Cricket and Wyper seemed to be sharing a moment.
As Luffy finished his piece of meat, he saw Kairo.
"This is the best meat ever."
Kairo looked at Luffy. Luffy was oblivious—he thought Kairo was staring at his meat. Luffy ate all of them whole, even taking in the bones, as if to say:
"Not sharing."
"I suppose you finished the business you went out for?" Robin asked.
Kairo simply waved a seal around.
"Where the hell were you?" Nami questioned.
"Taking gold... this bag has basically everything," he said calmly.
Nami's eyes turned into berries, and she practically fell in love with the seal.
She could imagine it—gold... so much gold.
Meanwhile, Robin's eyes landed on the small bruise on Kairo's skin. Odd. Lunarians were known for being hella tough, so whatever gave him that scar was probably hella strong or something along those lines.
Either that, or Kairo was doing something else before. Which, to each their own—not like she was going to press him about it. If he didn't want to talk about it, then he wouldn't. It was as simple as that. There was no need to complicate it.
Just like if you were hungry, you eat. And if you know your kid was beating their shit but don't want to embarrass them, you keep quiet.
Robin didn't ask for shit. After all, she was aware Kairo probably knew she hid some stuff about what she read.
Oh well. She gazed at her notes again, before going back to the doodles about Kairo's tattoos.
It seemed to be written like the giants write their runes.
A/N.....
Would you rather get the best head from a dude.
Or
Get straight teeth from a woman.
