บท 23: Dragon Rising - 2
Sorry for not updating on here lately guys, it's just kind of slipped my mind. With everything going on, and trying to rebuild my shit on Subscribestar...and dealing with a new puppy, it's been a whole thing.
But there's a bunch of stuff up on my subscribestar if you guys want to read ahead. For stuff like Systematic Shinobi, Jordinio Version, Stacking The Deck, and a ton of other stories

'Because of my devil fruit maybe?' he mused. He was in human form right now, but that didn't change that he could shift into a giant dragon with a single thought.
Or a human-dragon hybrid.
It was honestly surprising how easy it was for him to shift between the forms. It definitely shouldn't have been that easy though.
Which led more credence to his theory of him inheriting the skills and ability of Kaido, at least to a degree.
'Too bad this island is pretty much dead right now, nothing to eat here unless I raid Caesar's lab.' he mused.
And he'd really rather leave that fool alone for the moment.
There was really nothing for him to eat around here then. Besides his apples, but he wasn't touching them right now.
He needed them for Smiley.
Kaden sighed and nodded to himself, "I may as well go do it now I suppose." he mused. The quicker he did it, the better and faster he would be able to fly off and get some grub.
It wasn't like there was much to see around Punk Hazard anyway, it became infinitely more interesting after Aokiji and Akainu had a bitch slap contest and turned it into a magma tundra hellhole.
Oh and Monet turned up.
She was really the best thing about that arc.
Well her and Tashigi. Man did Tashigi get thicc later.
Shaking his head, Kaden jumped off of the flame cloud and with a wave of his hand it dissipated away into nothingness.
Something cool he'd found, was that just like Kaido he could use his powers outside of his beast zoan forms. Albeit, weaker than they would be in those forms, but still handy.
He put his bottle of water back in his sack, and made sure the apples were at the top of it before closing the sack and focusing.
His bright blue eyes shifted into a searing glowing yellow gold as his body rippled and grew, crimson scales replacing his skin, his spiky blonde hair growing in length massively and huge horns erupting from his skull as he shifted into his full on dragon form.
Swinging his tail around, he scooped up his stack of belongings before taking to the sky and heading towards his destination, back over on the first half of the island.
He'd noticed it from the second he landed on the island.
Felt it even.
He'd just been ignoring it first until he was ready.
The hugely threatening presence of Smiley. And how could it not be? Smiley was literally a bio weapon of mass destruction given life through a devil fruit.
It didn't do anything unless ordered by Caesar, but that didn't mean he wanted to be anywhere hear the toxic slime axolotl until he was ready to deal with it.
Before long, he arrived at his destination, hovering in the sky atop glowing flame clouds above a huge warehouse building.
The only building still in tact from the ruins left of Vegapunks old laboratory in fact. Honestly, it was very conspicuous.
Which made sense with Caesar being Caesar and all that. He was a picture perfect example of great intelligence not at all meaning wisdom.
Basically, for all his smarty pantsness, he was an utter moron.
Still not somebody he wanted to deal with right now though, especially when he could barely use any armament haki at all.
That gas gas logia fruit of his was no joke at all.
Kaden opened his crimson scaled mouth open wide, and flames began pooling and condensing in his throat-
Before he roared and unleashed his attack, "Blast Breath!" he declared as a massive blazing corona of pure heat erupted from his mouth in the form of a giant blazing conical blast of pure destruction.
The massive corona of destruction slammed into and through the warehouse as if it were made of paper mache and a moment later, erupted in a cataclysmic explosion.
Which was Kaden's que to get the heck out of dodge.
Swerving around like a majestic serpent swimming through the sky and totally not like a big noodly worm flopping around stupidly, Kaden tore his claws through the air and dashed high into the sky, just as a massive explosion erupted from the warehouse expanding to almost gargantuan proportion in both height and width and shaking the very foundations of Punk Hazard.
Straight up and up Kaden went until he hit the clouds and once more burst out of the other side of them thousands of feet in the air and far away from Caesar's ability to detect him.
"He's probably shitting himself right now." Kaden snickered.
Get fucked stupid evil clown.
Shaking his head in amusement, Kaden brought his tail around, dangling his sack in front of his face and opened it by poking one of his huge claws in the opening and peering inside.
And a wide massive green spread across his crimson scaled maw at what he saw.
Twelve apples sat at the top of the contents of the bag. Eleven of them were normal fresh red and juicy apples.
The twelfth and last though, was a dark blue, almost purple, with raised rigid swirling spots across its form almost like clouds in shape in a way.
"Yes!" he cheered. He'd more or less known it would work, because he was literally stealing this idea from Caesar himself.
But that didn't mean he wasn't excited as all hell for his plans to come into fruition like this.
God the last two days had just been crazy for him. Going from a down on his luck petty officer in training, to a Commander, now traitorous commander, with just over three hundred and thirty million beri to his name, slaughtered near a hundred marines, defeated and killed a Vice Admiral in one on one combat, claimed said Vice Admiral's devil fruit that got him that rank, eaten one of the strongest devil fruits in existence and now had just gotten his hands on another!
Everything was coming up Kaden D. Freeman right now!
"…Where should I go from here though I wonder?" he mused as he created a large flame cloud and shifted back into human form and sat atop it, while reaching in to grab one of the eleven non devil fruit apples and crunching down happily on it.
Eleven apples wouldn't satisfy his new hunger at all, but it would tide him by until he decided where to go from here at least.
