To be honest.

For Kaden, there really wasn't a whole lot of places he could go in the New World where he could either live out comfortably without being bothered, or actually just stay and get peace to himself.

The New World, was a crazy place like that. What wasn't controlled by marines, was pirate territory, either that controlled by a Yonkou or lawless pirate infested areas.

It was actually bad enough that he considered heading to Dressrosa. The place might have been controlled by Doflamingo and his 'family', but their security wasn't all that thorough. He could just fly over to the Green Bit and drop in.

And getting to meet Rebecca and maybe Viola was mighty tempting. The problem was that he needed time to get full control over his devil fruit abilities. While the echoes of Kaido's skill due to his Lineage Factor being contained within the fruit and now him, was making learning how to use them much easier than it should have been by far, it would still take him time to master his abilities.

And quite frankly, he could be discreet all he wanted, but he turned into a massive crimson scaled dragon with golden horns and golden blonde hair.

There was no way he could stay out of sight for long.

And he simply did not have the haki ability right now, to be able to resist Doflamingo's strings if he tried to control him.

So instead of staying in the New World, Kaden headed in the completely opposite direction.

The thing about the world he was in, was that it was absolutely massive. Way, way bigger than Earth, his previous world before he ended up here.

Usually traversing such a world at any good pace, was simply unfeasible. But, logic like that went right out of the window when one could turn into a massive dragon and stride through the air.

A massive dragon that ran through the air through creating platforms of brilliant glowing orange clouds. That he could kick off of and use Soru with.

It was exhausting, but with the ability to move faster than a speeding bullet even in his immense size as a dragon.

It meant Kaden could clear vast distances that would usually take others weeks worth of sailing, in mere hours.

And since he was near the very beginning of the New World half of the Grand Line, it meant that Kaden wasn't very far at all from the Red Line.

He could have flown straight over it and headed back into Paradise. But, he had a better idea.

He headed diagonally over the Red Line.

Straight into the East Blue and came out on the other side, not that far off from Reverse Mountain, in fact.

Nobody in their right mind would be thinking a guy who just slaughtered a New World marine base, would turn up a day later in the East Blue.

It was the perfect plan to get a little time to himself to work on his abilities before deciding fully what he wanted to do with this life going forward.

Besides, there were quite a few gems he could get his hands on within the East Blue, and he wasn't talking just about the likes of Nami.

She was more a diamond in the rough as opposed to an already formed emerald or ruby.

Two of which could be found on the island he could see now off in the distance. Logue Town.

It didn't take Kaden long before he was directly above the port of Logue Town. His massive serpentine form shrunk down as he transformed back into his human form and dropped from several hundred feet in the sky.

He bled off the momentum of his fall with a few quick uses of Geppou, before touching down not long later.

'Man I'm fucking hungry.' the boy mused, running a hand through his hair. Eleven apples hadn't filled him up at all and all the effort he'd put in to get here had just made him hungrier.

Thankfully, he could now just hit up a restaurant in Logue Town and eat to his hearts content with all the money he had.

"First though…" Kaden shifted the massive sack he held over his shoulder and eyed a few people working on the dock. He needed directions.

There were two fully fledged gems he wanted in Logue Town after all, once he went and grabbed them, he could drop off something he'd picked up after his fight with Graydle at the clothing store and then go fill his belly.

After asking for directions, it didn't take long for Kaden to find his first destination.

The Arms Shop.

A weapon shop that had been in business for over two hundred years now, and was home to two very special swords.

Stopping in front of the weapon store, Kaden spread his senses out with Observation Haki and focused upon the shop itself.

He felt four presences almost immediately.

Two were of rather weak people.

The other two though, were a completely different story. And vastly different from each other.

One of them gave off the feeling of a calm resoluteness, yet there was a long to it, as if it were waiting for something.

The other on the other hand, Kaden could feel a seething bloodlust and desire for battle. Yet, it was similar to the first as well. There was a longing too it, yet tinged with bitter disappointment.

Kaden found a smirk stretching across his face. He hadn't been sure he'd be able to feel it at all, but he could.

He entered the shop itself to find rows upon rows of different weapons and armour from katana's to straight swords, from flintlocks to riffles, from chain mail to full on plate.

And in the corner, out of the way, sat multiple barrels of dust covered swords. Where he could feeling the bloodlust fuelled presence coming from.

Just as expected.
