Chapter 20: Heart Of A Dragon - 7
In just a few minutes he was back outside of the lab and retreating away from it, making his way towards a large alcove where he'd stashed his sack of belongings before infiltrating his lab.
He landed beside the sack, wincing as his ribs throbbed in pain but ignored it mostly and then reached into his pocket and brought out the fruit.
"Thanks a bunch Vegapunk, Kaido." Kaden grinned, before opening wide and biting down on the throat.
Immediately a disgusting, sour taste assaulted his taste buds. If he had to describe it in words, it tasted like rancid mouldy shit that had been left to fester at the very pit of an ancient sewer for a hundred years, and took in every steaming pile of shit everyone who had ever defecated and flushed their feces down into the depths of that ancient sewer.
That was how fucking disgusting it was.
Face screwed up in utter disgust, Kaden powered through and swallowed, before biting again and again and again until absolutely nothing was left.
As soon as he swallowed it all, he collapsed onto his backside, coughing and spluttering in disgust, grasping at his throat as he tried with all his might to force himself not to vomit.
Yet even as he did, he felt it.
Maybe it was thanks to his burgeoning Observation Haki. Or maybe it was just because he was so weak currently that the difference was absolutely notable from the get go.

'...I've gotta check this out.' he thought, trembling with excitement as he called upon the status screen to see any differences.
