After delegating the ruling of Clock Tower Island and setting up a Den Den Mushi connection with Honey Queen and his new Prime Ministers, Kaden couldn't leave the place fast enough.
The place just rankled him.
As beautiful and as amazing as a body Honey Queen had, he couldn't see himself just living it up there. Worshipped as a king with a beautiful woman to do whatever he said? That was a dream for most teenagers.
But the vast majority of the people on that island, disgusted him, Honey Queen didn't escape that either. Even if he lowered that disgust simply for her hot body.
He'd never claim to be perfect after all.
On top of that, everything felt so weak around him. He felt like he could break the people there with a simple uncaring swing of his arm. But it wasn't just that they were weak physically, they were weak mentally.
He could literally feel it with his observation haki.
Ironically, the civilians of Clock Tower Island were as a whole mentally tougher than the violent domineering pirates.
Funny as that was, or sad really-
It was stifling being around them.
Now, it would have been a completely different story if say, it was the likes of Nami. With how Clock Tower Island was pretty much isolationist because of Bear King now, he might have just stuck around after wiping out all the pirates and living it up with a bodacious babe like Nami at his side.
That sounded look a good time.
As it was, he wasn't even sure how to go about tracking down Nami. She was always on the move throughout East Blue after all stealing shit to earn enough money to buy her islands freedom from Arlong.
It wasn't like he could just go to Cocoyasi Village on the Conomi Islands and ask around about her or wait for her.
The first would just draw the suspicion of everyone there, including Arlong and his gathered box of fish fingers.
Aka his crew.
And even just going there to wait around wouldn't amount to much. Because he knew for a fact that he'd lose his temper real quick around that serrated cock nosed fuck head of a racist fish.
'I'm a horrible a person.' Kaden realised, sitting back on the flame cloud carrying him through the air towards Dawn Island and staring up at the sky.
The people there were enslaved by the Fishmen. It was well within his power to crush them and free those people from their oppression. Easily in fact, he could do it in a few hours tops.
And he wanted to.
But he didn't want to waste the chance to have the gratitude of Nami because he lusted after her.
…He really was no better than his kin, or even the bastard that had his body before him, huh?
His selfish desires ruled him.
He was disgusted with himself at the very thought. To be even remotely similar to the bastard that swapped bodies with him or those ugly bubble headed freaks formed a disgust so potent in the pit of his stomach he wanted to retch.
He was well aware of the polarizing thought process. He wanted to save those people from the oppression they suffered under, free them from being lorded over and enslaved by sick fucks like Arlong, it made him sick to his literal stomach thinking about it and-
Yet wanted to use their suffering to his advantage at the same time. He wanted to play the gallant hero and look cool and earn the admiration of a woman who had been suffering for years, enslaved by a disgusting freak after he and his goons had murdered her mother.
It was sick, yet he couldn't deny the appeal.
It brought to mind what his….mother had written down, what his grandfather and the other members of the five elder stars thought of his existence.
"Abomination, huh?" Kaden clicked his tongue. Was it truly the blood of two mortal enemies that made his body instinctually desire something like that, the liberation the D's stood for, yet tainted with the greed and sick desires of the Celestial Dragons?
Or was it the influence of his other self, his remnants affecting his personality? An abomination amalgamation of two people from two completely different worlds.
Or was he just that big of a piece of shit that the desire to have a woman like Nami over ruled any true good points about him?
It wasn't even just that. With his power, he could do so much. He could literally fly to Wano right now…well once he found the proper way there. But he could. It wasn't like Kaido and his crew monitored the entire country, it was possible to slip in, Luffy and his crew had.
Those people suffering because of starvation, like Ebisu town and others, he could literally create a flame cloud big enough to carry them all away, he couldn't beat Kaido, he couldn't do anything to Kaido right now, but he knew there was still ways to help the people there.
He could head to Dressrosa right now. He could help Kyros and Rebecca escape and live without fear until they were ready to even think about taking down his….cousin?
He wasn't exactly sure how closely related he and Doflamingo were at least. But no plan survived contact with the enemy-
What if! What if! What if! Niggled at his brain whenever he even remotely thought of something along those lines.
Kaden wanted power. He wanted riches. He wanted women like Nami and Rebecca and Robin. He wanted to enjoy the hell out of life in luxury or going out on crazy adventures like the way the Straw Hats did.
He also wanted to punch Doflamingo in the fucking mouth. He wanted to shove his foot up Kaido's ass. He wanted to blow Marejoise off of the face of the planet with his Blast Breath and allow all those suffering under those monsters to run free and escape their oppression.
But before he did anything, he wanted to make sure he had the means to actually accomplish it all and not run in half cocked like an idiot and just die like a fool and accomplish nothing.
He had too many desires, many polarizing with each other and pulling his thoughts in too many different directions.
Kaden grasped his forehead with a hiss of annoyance, his eyes flashing a bright golden yellow as a headache formed.
The flame cloud he sat cross legged atop came to a halt, floating high in the sky above the bright blue sea below, standing out amongst the shiny white clouds around him.
"…What do I want to accomplish with my power?" he posed the question to himself, "What can I accomplish right now?"
