Chapter 22 Punk Hazard

It's already been 3 years since Paul set out to sea. Since he left at the same time as Ace, then this year, Luffy has just set out to sea and is probably on his way to recruit Zoro. Paul was thinking about their island's next destination. From Paul's memories, Paul had kept up to date of the One Piece storyline all the way up to the Wano arc. However, before he could wait for further chapters/episodes, he had already died and transmigrated into this world. Therefore, he doesn't know the state of Wano Kingdom. There are several paths for Paul to take right now. One would be going to Dressrosa and defeat Doflamingo. There's no point in going to Punk Hazard because he is pretty sure that the kids wouldn't be there or Caesar because Akoji and Akainu didn't fight yet and didn't wreck the island. However, Doflamingo should've already taken over Dressrosa as it happened several years ago. If he beats Doflamingo earlier, then maybe Caesar and Virgo wouldn't have the chance to kidnap the kids and the whole incident can be avoided. But just in case, he's gonna go to Punk Hazard anyways. Punk Hazard was also a government facility before the gas incident so there might need to be some investigating before finding the island location.

However, that would mean declaring war on Kaido soon and Paul still don't think that he can defeat Kaido in his state. Paul wants to wait until his devil fruit reached to 100% before he would want to take on Kaido and any of the emperor for complete victory.

Paul shook his head and settled on their path's course.

Sera came from behind Paul and asked, " Where to Paul?"

Paul: " Punk Hazard."

Sera: " What are we going to be doing there?"

Paul: " Idk, let's go see first."

Sera: " Uh okay."

Paul began directing his ship towards Punk Hazard. Since the island hasn't been destroyed yet, it was still possible to find it through some investigation while passing through a few islands. Like this, the crew sailed through the sea at a steady pace. During this time, Vlad had shown some unexpected skills. It must've been because of his solitude like life after his mother passed away, but he took up cooking since a young age and was fairly skilled at it. He was at least better than Paul at cooking and knew how to utilize ingredients in a several different ways.

Robin was also full of information as she told him about the devil fruit that she saw which was the mythical zoan devil fruit: Batto Batto no mi, Model: Vampire. His sword, Shodai Kitetsu a cursed sword but it was one of the 12 supreme grade swords. After receiving all this information, he worked hard on mastering this power. Although it wasn't the first time handling a sword, he still wasn't used to using swords. He mostly battled with Daz as he was learning on advancing his swordsmanship too so the two grew closer day by day.

Of all the elements that Paul had control in, he was more used to water than any other ability with the least is moving the earth. This was most likely because Paul is always on the sea and would use his manipulation of water to speed up their travels from time to time. He loved this ability. He wondered if he unlocked the chakra skill from his shop, would he be able to use moves like in the Naruto anime. Well, it's time to find out since he still got SP points to use.

Paul: " Open skill shop."

(Locked) Naruto skills - Unlock 1000 SP

Chakra control- 500 SP

Sharingan- l000 SP

Flying god technique- 1000 SP

Random tailed beast- 5000 SP

Advance Taijusu-1000 SP

Paul: "Unlock Naruto skills and buy Chakra control"

(I decided not to have the my hero academia skill shop anymore)

'ding' " You have successfully unlocked Naruto skills and gained the ability to use chakra control."

Immediately, Paul felt a cooling sensation come from inside his body. Then came a burning sensation all over as he felt his veins in his body burning.

A few minutes later, the pain stopped and Paul felt like he was one in nature. He could feel the wind that was blowing and could hear the ocean clashing against his body in a more clearer sensation.

Paul: " This feels good."

He could feel power coursing through inside his body. Since he could already control most of the elements, he didn't need to worry about figuring out what his chakra nature was. Furthermore, it must be because of his robust body but he has a lot of chakra already, perhaps just as much as a hokage level chakra.

Paul: " Robin, take over directing the ship will you?"

Robin smiled and said: " Sure."

After letting Robin direct the ship, he went into his room and began concentrating on controlling his chakra. In Naruto, they used hand signs to focus chakra. Since Paul doesn't really know the correct hand signs to concentrate the chakra so he had to find another way. Well, naruto didn't need hand signs to make a rasengan, but that was a move tailored to concentrating chakra into a single point which was the fourth hokage's attempt on coping the tailed beast move. Therefore, Paul wanted to master the rasengan first. Therefore, he did the training just like how Naruto did his rasengan training.

A few days passed and Paul got used to chakra manipulation and was already on the rubber ball phase of the training.

Robin: " Paul we've arrived at Punk Hazard, but something is wrong."

Paul came out of his room and said, " What's wrong?"

Robin: " Well... it doesn't look habitable at all."

Paul looked at the island and saw that it was covered in toxic gas.

Paul: " Hmm, this does seem to be a problem. Well for most people anyways."

Paul smiled as he transformed with his his max ability. Paul rose above the ship and flew closer to the island. He concentrated his chakra as he summoned wind making the wind move in a more controlled rate. However, he was still a beginner in chakra control so it took quite some time.

Time slowly began to pass as wind started to gather at their location. Wind was starting to come together and blow everywhere until Paul felt that he gathered a significant amount of wind power and slowly put his hands towards the island. Slowly the wind gathered around the island and began to move the toxic gas into the center of the island.

At this point, Paul was already sweating from the energy required to gather the huge amount of wind and the chakra usage.

As soon as the toxic gas was gathered together, he controlled it high above the island.

Sera: " What now?"

Paul: " Hmmm burn it? haha."

Sera: " What??!! Wait I can purify it..."

Before Sera can finish her words, Paul had concentrated fire into his mouth and blew a beam of fire into the gas ball floating above the island.

'booom' A loud and large explosion occurred when the fire met the toxic gas. 'shit' He knew that there would be an explosion, but not to this degree. The wind pressure alone was enough to send him flying. However, he concentrated even more to contain the blast to utmost degree. Barely making it, Paul had successfully contained the blast, but it nearly drained him of all of his chakra and energy exhausting him to a vast degree. As he was flying back down to his ship, an unknown person came out of the facility.

????: " What the heck is this. Who ruined my plans?"

The person looked up and saw Paul flying down and immediately went after him in full anger. Paul was too tired to notice the said person and didn't notice that a person was coming after him.

Sera: " Paul, watch out!!"

Sera instantly move as she sprouted out her wings and sent out a kick. But her kick went through the said person.

Sera: " 'tch' logia user."

Sera flapped her wings which gave her faster speed as she appeared before the person could reach Paul and sent him flying backwards.

It was this time that Paul noticed the person coming to attack him.

???: " Ugh, Haki user!"

Paul: " Caesar, what are you doing on this island I wonder?"

Caesar: " So you know of me huh. What I'm doing here is none of your business."

Paul: " Whatever it is, we'll find out sooner or later. Sera, can you handle him?"

Sera: " No problem."

The two began to face off. Caesar was using some clamps to close and causing explosions at Sera's locations. However, Sera was just beginning as her speed began to sped up. She dodged explosion after explosion. Seeing that his attacks weren't working Caesar took out a small handle. The handle acted as a lighter in which Caesar manipulated it to make the flame even larger with his devil fruit powers.

When Sera saw that move, she also used her devil fruit powers. Since the day she got her devil fruit, she has been thinking of ways to get stronger and use the devil fruit more. In the past fights, she had only used holy flames, however, this was not all there was to her devil fruit power. There was the holy light/energy. Other than heal, this ability can also be manipulate to construct durable light energy. Just like Admiral Kizaru, Sera created a sword of holy energy and dashed towards Caesar clashing against his gas sword.

For a few minutes, this clash lasted for awhile with none not being able to gain the upper hand.

Caesar: " 'tch' karakuni"

Just as Sera was about to dash forwards again, she began becoming light headed and unable to take any oxygen. Quickly thinking of something, she flapped her wings which propelled her backwards and out of the range.

She threw out holy flame but it was quickly extinguished because of the lack of oxygen around Caesar.

Caesar: " Shororororo, what can you do against me now. Shorororo."

Sera: " Hmph."

Sera sprouted out her maximum amount of wings showing five of them which further increases her strength. She gave one flap and 'swoosh' she disappeared and reappeared again far behind Caesar. 'puchi' blood sprout out of Caesar as he couldn't block the slash from Caesar and began falling into the sea.

'clap' 'clap' Paul: " Nicely done Sera, you did great."

During their fight, Paul had finally regained some breath and strength, he could've intervened anytime if Sera was in trouble. From the strength that she showed, Paul was satisfied with her strength. He was getting more and more confident for the upcoming fights against Doflamingo.

There should be another logia fruit user but there may not be since the gas was still here.

Paul: " let's hide for a few days and see what happens before we go in."
