Punk Hazard

This island is extremely peculiar. Aokiji and Akainu fought a duel here for the position of Fleet Admiral, which caused the island's climate to change drastically, turning it into an ice Ice-Fire Island is half ice and snow and half fire and flames!

The island once housed three research bases for naval scientists and also held some prisoners from the World Government. However, due to Caesar Clown's horrific experiments, a large amount of poison gas was released onto the island, turning it into a dead island. Only a few prisoners survived.

Before Teach and his crew even set foot on the island, a group of pirates dressed in gas suits and equipped with gas canisters arrived by ship to pick Teach up. They had received orders from Doflamingo to hide all the classified items in the laboratory before symbolically coming to meet Teach.

Of course, Teach wasn't interested in anything in the laboratory on the island; he had only one purpose in coming here: to find his beloved nephew.

The group arrived at the port by boat. Teach refused the protective suit offered to him and, to everyone's astonishment, swaggered onto the island!

All of this is thanks to Teach's Awakening Dark-Dark Fruit; all poisonous gas that gets close to him is absorbed and filtered by the fruit's power, thus turning into harmless air!

Although it's not very useful, it's still cool!

Nothing can stop me from showing off, unless there's an even bigger show-off waiting for me to show off!

Teach thought this to himself, and then, with the pirates leading the way, he strode towards Caesar's laboratory!

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Teach and his group finally arrived at Caesar's laboratory. The laboratory was made entirely of steel, just like the people there, and there was not a trace of warmth to be found.

"Whoosh! Welcome, Mr. Blackbeard, to my laboratory! I am Caesar Clown! The most brilliant scientist!" The distinctive Caesar Clown walked over, surrounded by gas, his bright purple lips quite striking.

"Where's the person I'm looking for? Have you found him?" Teach didn't waste any more words with him and went straight to asking about Momonosuke's whereabouts.

"He's in my lab, waiting for you to take him away!" Caesar didn't dare to be careless. After all, Doflamingo had already told him that the person in front of him was a fierce man who could go toe-to-toe with Kaido! With his small frame, he probably couldn't withstand a single punch from him!

"Oh? Then take me there! I can't wait to see my nephew!" Teach's eyes gleamed with excitement. Finally, I can finally fulfill my greatest wish from my past life!

"Okay, please follow me!" Caesar hurriedly led the way, afraid of offending Teach. His obsequious expression made people suspicious of his identity!

Is this guy really an evil genius scientist?

With that Teach walked for a while and finally arrived at the room where Momonosuke was!

"Hahaha! My dear nephew is in here? I really look forward to the scene of uncle and nephew meeting!" Teach's joy was almost solidified. He couldn't wait to push open the door, and finally, that small figure came into his sight!

The child before them was dressed in traditional Wano samurai attire, with his head shaved and his hair tied up in a bun at the back. He wore a pink kimono and wooden clogs, and upon seeing Teach, a clear look of fear appeared on his face.

"Hehehe! You must be Kozuki Momonosuke? Kozuki Oden's son?" Teach revealed a look of great disappointment and certainty. Sure enough, he hadn't inherited any of Kozuki Oden's good qualities! How could such a cowardly and weak person shoulder the responsibility of a nation? Although he appeared to be only 8 years old, Teach, as a transmigrator, naturally knew that the child before him was already over 20!

"Who are you? How do you know about my father? Could it be that you are someone sent by Kaido? I warn you, don't do anything rash! I am just a child!" Seeing the fierce-looking Teach, Kozuki Momonosuke thought that Kaido's subordinate had found a clue and came to get rid of him, and he was immediately terrified!

"Whoosh! Now that you've found your nephew, Mr. Blackbeard, it's not appropriate for an outsider like me to stay here during this family reunion! You two, please continue your conversation!" Caesar tactfully left the room, closing the thick iron door behind him.

Hmm, this person is good; they have good judgment!

"Hehehehe! Don't be afraid, come here, let Uncle slowly pull out your teeth! Ah, no! I mean let me take good care of you!" Teach tried to smile as he slowly approached Momonosuke, but some things can't be hidden just because you want to! That included Teach's true thoughts at this moment!

"Don't come any closer!"

Momonosuke's fear was magnified countless times in an instant, and the next second, he turned into a pink little dragon! Although it was a dragon, compared to Kaido Azure Dragon, Momonosuke's dragon looked more like a little mudfish, and a very spineless little mudfish at that!

"Don't be afraid!" Teach grabbed Momonosuke's dragon horns and roughly pulled him up from the ground, causing the latter to cry out in pain!

"Look at the state you're in! Do you even know that your father Kozuki Oden, was my former captain?! In every aspect, you are far inferior to your father!" Teach's words slowly calmed Momonosuke. He stared wide-eyed at the ferocious Teach. The person in front of him did indeed resemble the pirate his father had mentioned, but in his memory, he had never seen this person on Whitebeard's ship!

Perhaps this person really was one of my father's former subordinates. After all, I was very young at the time and can no longer remember the pirates I saw when I was a child!

"Are you really one of Father's former teammates?" Momonosuke asked in disbelief.

"Hahaha! Of course! Your father was a Two-Sword Style samurai, tall and rather impulsive! These are things that no outsider could possibly know, are they?" Teach said with a kind smile.

"I used a lot of connections and finally found out where you are! Do you know how happy I am? Although Oden is dead, as his former teammate, I have a duty to make you stronger so that you can avenge your father with your own hands!" Teach's words made Momonosuke's eyes light up, but then they dimmed even faster.

"But the opponent is very powerful, I'm afraid I can't handle it!"

"Hehehehe! It's alright! As long as you obey my training, you can definitely surpass Kaido!"

"Really?!" Momonosuke's emotions became visibly excited.

"Really! But you'll have to endure a tiny bit of pain..." Teach pulled a knife from the Dark Space, then put it back the next second.

"What happened..." Momonosuke hadn't finished speaking when he collapsed to his knees in agony, stunned as he stared at the blood slowly flowing from his genitals.

"Hehehehe! Don't worry, my knife is fast! You didn't even feel it! Right?" Teach laughed with satisfaction as he looked at his masterpiece.

Teach: Ah! This is a kind of exhilaration that you readers can't possibly understand!
