The Strawhats would be guided out of Skypiea by the people of the land.
They wanted to thank their savior, but before they set off to the next island, they needed to drop off Cricket.
Which shouldn't be that hard, Kairo could get the old man back to Jaya.
And while Kairo could have simply, I don't know, just teleported the old man there, Kairo was currently dealing with the effect of the abyss, trying to repress it.
The corruption level seemed to be going down, but the rate was so slow, and it seemed to want to tempt him even more, showing him that with only 5%, his regeneration was fast enough to see with the naked eye.
Imagine at 100%... shit, he might actually be moving like Prime Muzan, healing just as the cuts were being made, on some Gojo inside Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine type of timing.
However, once more, that wouldn't be him. (I am shoving this down y'all throat, so y'all can remember, till y'all got pubic hair in your face.)
He didn't like it. He would rather not use the abyss.
Maybe he was prideful in his own powers. If he could get this strong so quickly, and Haki bloomed in battle, he had a valid chance at getting the strength level he needed to reach his goal of being the strongest ninja ever.
Well technically, his ass already was. The ninja in this world were bums, and Kairo could defeat them. His goal, however, wasn't that low—he wanted beyond Yonko-level strength.
Once he got there, he would hone his skill like no other so that even if he was outclassed, he could still kill his enemy.
And from then... well, no need to think too deep into the future. Spending too much time thinking about the future meant less time spent enjoying the past.
*(hunt the dragons)*
Once more he ignored that voice in the back of his head. Shit sounded like a genocide just waiting to happen.
It wasn't like the second he stepped foot in Sabaody he was going to crash out or anything like that.
He was a gentleman. He would never do such a thing.
Anyway, he was once more at his favorite spot, looking at the clouds in the sky, which currently looked like an orange. It was Nami—she was using her power, trying to experiment with them again.
And also, Kairo's view was blocked because of that big-ass squid which was helping them glide down to the Blue Sea.
He doodled a bit in the book, writing down notes about the jutsu, trying to see if they fit his memory.
While he knew how it worked due to watching Naruto and also having Tobirama's system, he bet this body knew how to do it because his dad possessed it.
He glanced at his tattoos—believe it or not, they had always been there.
He just never saw them until he got into contact with the abyss for the first time.
They seemed to be some kind of seal to slow down or stop the abyss from spreading.
Hm. Seemed like this body's parents really cared about him.
Thinking deeply about it, he too would have crashed out if the same thing had happened to his parents.
He knew the Strawhats would go to Sabaody in the future, so his plan was probably to slip some laxatives in that shit.
Technically, wouldn't be a crime. He'd have to find a way so that the laxative didn't work if the water was polluted—only if it was pure would it work.
This made sure only the super rich got hit.
He gazed at the sunset.
The sun truly was beautiful, and watching a sunset was probably one of the best experiences someone could have.
Up there with your crush saying she liked you, and both sides of your pillow staying cold for the rest of the night.
He took a deep breath, allowing the air to reach his lungs.
Mentally, he was trying to think of a new exercise to do.
Let's see... sure, he could stick to walls and all that shit, and also water.
Could air be possible? If he remembered correctly in physics class, they did say there were a lot of molecules there.
Which was the reason why super speed in real life was a horrible power—shit would burn you to a crisp way too damn quickly.
He pondered on it for a while longer. Maybe. Shit would be a lot of work, and not really worth it since Kairo could already fly.
Though on the flip side, it was a Haki control exercise, so he was for it.
Like, who didn't want their Haki to be stronger and smoother? By the time they reached the next island, his Ryō should have 100% reached the next level.
Enough to seriously harm someone.
He sighed a bit. So much work, yet he was excited for all of it.
Heheheh, adventure sure was fun.
