Before Hisoka could open his briefcase he got a call on his den-den mushi.

"purupuru, purupuru, purupuru" Hisoka took the reciever of off and a "gacha" noise was made.

"Hello," Hisoka spoke into the receiver.

"Hisoka, we've found her. The location is being transmitted to you right now." The clone on the other side said. Hisoka looked for the transmitter that would show him the location. He found it on the floor in the corner of the balloon.

A beeping sound was coming off the transmitter along with a direction to go in. He put the receiver in front of his mouth and spoke into it. "Stay where you are for know, I'll be there within a week. I'm going to finish up the journey to this island then I'll be there."

"Is there anything you want me to do?" The clone asked.

"Make sure he doesn't leave the island. Keep him there at all costs." Hisoka didn't want to look for this person again.

"It's a woman." The clone said in a quiet voice

"come again?" Hisoka asked.

"Yes, she calls herself the queen of the underworld. She is known as Kasumi of the mist. She has a logia that lets her turn into mist. The entire island is covered in mist you won't miss it."

"I see. This won't change anything, beat her to an inch of her life if you have but don't kill her. Is there anything else to report?" Just because she was a woman didn't mean Hisoka would suddenly change his plans.

"Yes and this is probably the most worrying. CP0 has been sighted on the island."

"I see. How often do they come?" Depending on the answer Hisoka would shift his plans around.

"They come once every 3 days at around 11 am. They stay for an hour and leave as they finish their business." The clone explained.

"That is worrying. When was the last time they were there?

"The last time was today, so you have a 3-day window to sort everything out with her."

"I will sort that out when I reach there. Give me a day and I will be there." Hisoka said.

"Understood."

Hisoka placed the receiver back on the snail. And sat back down in his chair. Hisoka was going to postpone his trip to the moon for now. He needed to get to the island where Kasumi was before CP0 got there. He wanted to establish his take over as soon as possible. Once he finished here it was straight wherever she was. He wasn't even going to try and buy her out of the business, it was an assassination of sorts. He was thinking over transferring Sozo island to wherever the new island was. It would be easier for the contacts to reach an island they already know instead of an entirely new island.

The wind around the balloon began to pick up and glided Hisoka south.

_______________________________

Hisoka and Yuki glided on the wind. The journey that was meant to take a day and a half was cut down to less than a day. Roughly 16 hours of gliding.

Suikomanaide was an island that was covered in a thick purple mist. You couldn't see the island itself, and the island had a massive gaseous skull at the top of it. Hisoka wanted to see just how potent this gas was so he ran a few experiments. He put an elephant on the island, and just decided to see the effects. The elephant when put the island, breathed in the gas and just died.

This showed that Hisoka that a whiff of this gas would kill you. There was no damage to the skin which showed that he could go on his regular clothes. He had a hazmat suit on standby.

He imagined a gas mask for himself. He wanted to really explore the island but that wasn't going to happen now. He left Yuki on the balloon and jumped out and touched the island.

The fruit was at the centre of the island. He ran over there at full speed and reached it within minutes. There was a massive pillar that shot out of the ground. The gas the pillar seemed much thicker and much more potent than the gas around on the outskirts of the island.

Hisoka thought that this where the user had died. Hence the further you get from the body the weaker the gas. He scoured around for a body but he couldn't find one.

He imagined a ladder and placed it against the pillar. He climbed for what felt like minutes until he reached the top. The fruit was purple and had a small mist around it. The fruit itself was one that he had never seen before, it looked like a skull and crossbones which Hisoka thought fit the fruit.

He placed the misty fruit into his bag and made his way out of the island. He was sad, he wanted to stay here and look around but his goals came before his own personal enjoyment.

He got to the balloon and jumped on. He took his gas mask off and threw it to the corner of the balloon. His clothes had gotten dirty while he was walking through.

"Oh no, I liked this." He took off all his clothes and placed them on the floor. He imagined a new outfit. It had a white buttoned-up shirt, a white suit vest, white suit and white trousers. He was going for the all-white aesthetic. He put on his new clothes and made a similar outfit for Yuki. They had to look stylish, they were going on an assassination job after all.

Hisoka picked up the transmitter the location was 51.1657° N, 10.4515° E. He positioned his balloon in that direction and imagined the strongest gusts of wind. He could get there in a couple of hours using his devil fruit.

On his journey there he planned the assassination, he was debating whether to sneak into the palace or to kill her from his balloon across the island.

One thing was for certain though, his story began the moment her body dropped to the floor.
