He had finished his research. Now all he needed to do was something quite simple—hunt down someone.
The next arc should be Thriller Bark. He never watched it, only heard that a pedo lived on that island... and Gecko Moria.
That Shadow Fruit was juicy. It would suit him a lot.
Especially that ability where the body follows the shape of the shadow—basically bootleg Idle Transfiguration, and the potential of it was immense. He wanted to test a theory about it.
If the theory proved correct, the Shadow Fruit would be his go-to fruit.
It wasn't like he didn't have options. He still had the Wax Fruit and the Goro-Goro no Mi.
Though he wanted nothing to do with them right now—his axe was doing well with the Goro Fruit.
Now all he needed to do was find something for himself.
His sword would probably get a Zoan or something like that—preferably one that could shoot fire, because that shit was cool as fuck.
He gazed around the city. The place looked rather beautiful, apart from the Marines nearby handing out flyers and asking if anyone had seen the Straw Hat crew.
And, well, apparently everyone they asked either had something really important to do that day... or was blind.
The civilians were truly good people. They weren't about to backstab their own saviors.
Kairo could fly back, but with so many Marines around, he'd be spotted. So he decided to walk instead.
Looking at the sky, he pondered everything he had done so far. Ever since coming to this world, he had seen things he didn't know were possible.
He himself had grown so much stronger, with his Haki reaching brand-new levels.
Though he didn't think he grew much from his fight with the Holy Knight—the guy was a true bum.
He wasn't even worried about him. Though... he did feel like he had lost control of his body for a bit.
{Host body remember superior use of haki}
He paused.
Yo—what the fuck?
"Status."
Usually, he would just think it, but it seemed like letting Kairo take over his body had caused some changes. He wanted to see how much he had grown.

He paused, staring at his stats.
Yo... didn't this make him, like, low Yonko tier?
The other guy had only taken over for a few minutes, and yet his stats jumped this much. Was his control over this body really that much better?
Kairo pondered it. Maybe he needed to meditate more. It seemed like he was only drawing out about 10% of this body's full potential.
The way that other guy moved—down to his last cell—everything was optimized. Like a true ninja. Meanwhile, all David did was imitate.
He needed to get a grasp on that.
For fuck's sake, the guy made fucking Haki bombs inside someone's body. That shit was deadly. Every time he punched that Holy Knight, he injected Conqueror's Haki directly into his vital organs, doing a shit ton of damage.
"He has access to my knowledge," Kairo muttered.
That whole spiel about animal regeneration, chemicals, and biological processes—that was all David. He was the medical expert.
The body had knowledge of how to hunt, where to strike, how to fight—but it wasn't as in-depth as David's.
So if that guy could access his memories and create powerful attacks from them... why couldn't David do the same?
After all, the body was the same.
Under normal circumstances, someone would be pissed if another person took over their body.
Yet Kairo felt interested.
Thrilled, even.
He wanted to see how far he could be pushed.
Fuck Yonko tier.
With this body and its potential, he could go far beyond that.
"Mother Flames," he muttered.
Luffy's Gear 5 would have a stamina problem in the future. The idea of stealing the Mother Flame and feeding it to Luffy crossed his mind.
Infinite stamina for the Sun God.
Just thinking about it made him feel all kinds of things.
While yes—Haki transcends all—a Haki and Devil Fruit combo was, and still is, extremely dangerous.
His analytical side was skeptical about eating a Devil Fruit. He knew about the water currents of the One Piece world—the underworld currents, one might say—massive streams flowing beneath the sea.
"This is so fun," he said, a smile on his face the entire time.
