Oni’s Path

Location:Island Near Wano

A man is standing next to a machine as he begins to tweak with the machine.

Inatsuki: Almost done with the machine..

He finally finishes the machine as he stands accomplished but then looks quite sad.

Inatsuki: Why did you have to leave me Hisu.You left me with him.

Inatsuki looks to see a young Kamauzu smiling and crawling around and just touching all the experiments.

Inatsuki: He is only 3 months old and he is growing up fast. His Horns are developing asw- NO NO DON'T TOUCH THAT.

Inatsuki shouts as the Red eyed boy touches one of the inventions as it drops on the floor and seeps everywhere.

Inatsuki: That was the fifth time Kamauzu you dropped something! Jesus.

Inatsuki goes to go and pick up the white haired baby and puts him in his crib as he hears something or someone coming to the front door.

Inatsuki: So he came.

Inatsuki walks towards the door as he opens the door to find the Yonko Kaido standing at his door.

Inatsuki: What did you want now Kaido.

Kaido: Have you been in contact with Caeser and Doflamingo about the Smile fruits.

Kaido stands there menacingly in front of Inatsuki as he reluctantly replies

Inatsuki: Yes...yes I have and the Smile is being produced at this very instant.

Kaido: Good. How's your son doing?

Inatsuki felt a bit skeptical with that question as Kaido is a Oni aswell as Kamauzu so he doesn't know either to tell him about the Horns or not.

Inatsuki: He's...um doing fine you know just growing.

Kaido: Oh. Okay then. Well keep producing those Smile fruits I need them

Kaido begins to walk off laughing as Inatsuki runs back to see that Kamauzu is crying and punching and kicking.

Inatsuki: I need to get him safe. I feel as if Kaido fears Kamauzu and the power that is dormant inside him if only there was a solution..

Immediately as he says that Inatsuki has a idea as he begins to laugh and smile as he runs over to his workshop area to go to work.

Inatsuki: With this one day Kamauzu you will face Kaido and win. I believe it...

1 Year later

Inatsuki: Finally done with the project!

It's been over a year and Inatsuki had been working hardly on the Weapon that would be able to take down Kaido. Now the only thing to do was to send Kamauzu somewhere where he would thrive and not get caught by anyone. And he knew just the person for that role.

A knock on the door then followed a couple of minutes later.

???: My old friend! You told me to come to your place. What seems the problem.

Inatsuki: Ah Tenguyama Hitetsu I have been expecting you.

They walk towards eachother and give eachother a manly hug

Inatsuki: Please my old friend I have a huge favour to ask from you

Hitesu: What is it?

Inatsuki: Can you please look after Kamauzu for me please

Inatsuki says while bowing which surprises Hitesu a lot as he never expected Inatsuki to say that.

Hitesu: Will do but why?

Inatsuki: I believe that Kamauzu is the hope of Wano and I want you to train him in someway. And when he is older give him this

Inatsuki shows Hitesu the project that he has been working on.

Hitesu: Don't worry my friend I will save him and take him.

Hitesu walks over to where Kamauzu is and picks him out of his crib and takes the 'Project' as he walks out the door and gets in the boat to set sail back to Wano.

Inatsuki: Stay safe my Son..

10 Years Later

Hitesu: Kamauzu-Juro! Why did this appear in town.

Hitesu shouts to the top of the trees as we find Kamauzu just relaxing there with his Kanabo right next to him.

Kamauzu: What appeared?

Kamauzu grabs his Kanabo as he jumps down towards the ground as the ground shakes as he jumps down.

Hitesu: This Kamauzu-Juro.

Kamauzu: Yeahh I went outside the area surrounding Wano and encountered some marines.

Hitesu: Did you fight them?

Kamauzu just smiles with the question and just look at Hitesu

Kamauzu: Of course I did! And I absolutely clobbered them they stood no chance.

Hitesu: HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE! YOU NOW HAVE A BOUNTY

Hitesu hits Kamauzu on the head as Kamauzu is about to retaliate but stops when he hears the thing about a 'Bounty'

Kamauzu: Really!? What's my bounty Number! Say! Say!

Kamauzu waits anticipated as Hitesu starts to read out the numbers.

Hitesu: Kamauzu (Demon Child). 40,000,000 Million Beli.

Kamauzu shouts in joy as he receives in the information that he just heard as he just begins to jump in joy.

Kamauzu: I guess my efforts of training don't go in Vain then Hitesu-San.

Hitesu: That is true but you should keep a low profile because you never know marines might come here.

Kamauzu just laughs at that comment

Kamauzu: The Yonko Kaido is on this Island! I don't think marines would ever come here.

As Kamauzu says that, a boat appears on the shore of where Kamauzu and Hitesu reside as the Marines step out and begin to walk into the forest.

???: Search the forest. He might be here!

???: Yes Sir!

A bunch of voices say as they walk further into the serene Forest as Hitesu looks at Kamauzu but sees that he is already gone.

Hitesu: HUHHHH!?

Kamauzu stands there as he looks at all the Marine officers that are making their way through the forest.

Kamauzu: Well I guess its my time to shine then

Kamauzu jumps off the tree as he begins to fall towards the floor as he sees one of the Marines just standing there, as he uses his brute strength to grab the marine and smash them into a boulder.

Marine Officer: What was that?

The Officer then looks to the left and sees a 10 year old sprinting towards him with a smile on his face as he jumps towards the Officer and kicks him onto the ground.

Kamauzu: Who's Next!

Kamauzu picks up his Kanabo as the Officer charge towards him with their swords and guns as he just runs straight towards them and begins to clobber all of them. He then grabs one of them by the face as he just throws him towards where the Marine lieutenant.

Kamauzu: Take your people and get the hell out of here or else I'll take you out too!

Lieutenant: Please. Demon Child you are not strong enough to face me-

Those were his last words at that time as Kamauzu drops his Kanabo and blitzes towards the Lieutenant and punches him in the face.

Lieutenant: U-ughhh

As the Lieutenant goes flying into a bunch of trees as he lands near where the marines docked.

Kamauzu: Now leave before I change my mind.

Kamauzu glares at the Marines with his red Eyes and sharp teeth as they all get scared and run off and go back into their ship as they drag the unconscious Captain onto the ship.

Officer: This is not over Demon Child. We will come back

Kamauzu: Yeah Yeah whatever. Your just lucky I didn't use more of my power

He whispers the last part to himself as he picks up his Kanabo and walks back towards where he and Hitesu reside.

Hitesu: Kamauzu-Juro you are back. I see that you were victorious

Kamauzu just nods in agreement to what Hitesu said.

Hitesu: Good. Now I have something for you that I think you are ready for, Follow me.

Kamauzu follows Hitesu into their home as they walk in as Hitesu tells Kamauzu to wait there as he goes towards the back of the house as he comes back with a large box.

Kamauzu: What is that meant to be?

Hitesu: A project that your father was working on. He finally completed it and decided to give it to me to give to you when the time is right. I think it's time. I will give you the project.

Kamauzu: Okay then

Kamauzu goes to grab the large box as he takes it and opens it to find a newer and stronger looking Kanabo and also...

Kamauzu: A fruit!? What will a fruit do.

Hitesu: Just eat the fruit

Kamauzu looks at Hitesu then looks back at the fruit then picks it up and eats the entire fruit but regrets it due to the taste that it has.

Kamauzu: What was it?

Hitesu: Your father told me when I came to take you. It was called Tatsu Tatsu No Mi: Model Red Dragon which grants you even more power on top of your Oni abilities.

Kamauzu: Oh Sick!

Hitesu: Kamauzu-Juro you have to listen to me. Your father thinks your the chosen on to liberate Wano from Kaido, so get stronger and even stronger.

Kamauzu: You know me Hitesu-San. I will get even stronger..

7 Years Later

Hitesu: So you are going to leave the land of Wano to explore the world.

Hitesu says to a significantly older Kamauzu as he has a scar on his eye and a scratch on his arm.

Kamauzu: Of course Hitesu-San. I gotta get stronger so I can defeat that Brute Kaido.

Hitesu: Also be careful you don't have the same bounty that you had 7 seven years ago. Your bounty is now 150,000,000.

Kamauzu: Yeah I know. But I strong enough to take care of myself don't worry.

They give eachother a big hug as Hitesu starts to cry.

Hitesu: Just stay safe

Kamauzu: Yeah I will don't worry

As Kamauzu gets on the boat that he has as he sails off waving goodbye to Hitesu as he looks towards the seas where he will be travelling for a couple of days...
