And we back guys. So I just heard our quarantine has been extended to early to mid May. At least that's how it is here in the US anyways, but as I was saying. If any of you readers out there have any pull with the government I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this. Please tell some of the higher ups that barbers are essential. I'm starting to look like D rose with his dreads lol. Anyways I'm glad you guys are enjoying the story so far and I hope reading this helps alleviate some of the boredom during these tough times. Hopefully I can make it through Punk Hazard in the next few chapters because I really wanna get to Dressrosa. Alright let's get on with the chapter.

The two members of the Heart Pirates had been on Punk Hazard for well over a week now and had made pretty good progress. Law had found a giant room in the D block of the facility which was used to create the SAD chemical. The only issue they had now was finding out whether or not there were other rooms dedicated to creating SAD.

It had taken them just under a week to find the room due to the amount of henchmen floating about.

"I have to hold up my end of the deal with Caesar today." Law told the blond. The two took to meeting in the blonds room to discuss either really early or later at night. It was early morning, early enough that the guards that usually patrolled the area still hadn't made it to the area around their rooms. "In about two hours he'll come get me to fix his men. They'll be able to move easier now so sneaking around will be more difficult." He continued.

"I can imagine so. Want me to look for more of that chemical while you work?"

Law shook his head no. "I have something else I want you to do. By now you should be familiar with a good portion of the base."

Naruto nodded. It was true, in the past few days he and Monet had spent most of their time together. Whenever she wasn't assisting Caesar with his work the two of them could be found wandering the base together or simply chatting in the same room where they'd made the deal with Caesar. During the time they would walk around he made sure to memorize where every hallway went and what every room he went to contained. Truth be told he was pretty disapointed. If she wasn't one of Doflamingo's lackeys she would've made a great friend or even something more.

The only places he was unfamiliar with was the corridors which Caesars men guarded almost all day every day. The clown had made it clear that though they were allowed in the base there were some rooms that were off limits.

"While I'm busy I need you to switch some of the sea prism stone chains that they have here with regular chains on the off chance that we get captured." Law finished.

"That's probably a good idea." Naruto agreed. "By the way you think Doflamingo is gonna show up soon?"

"No. He'll wait until he believes the time is right. After Marineford even he knows that fighting us at the same time would be suicide for him." Law replied. "We have some time before he makes a move." He finished as he activated his 'room' and began to head back to his own quarters. "In the meantime keep doing what you're doing with Monet. She's a wildcard, better to be close to her and have an idea than to be clueless."

Naruto nodded and watched his captain disappear back to his room. He contemplated getting to work on the chains now but shook his head. In a few hours Caesar and most of his men would be gone, he'd do it then. With that in mind he laid down and got a bit more sleep.

When he came to he rubbed his face to get the drowsiness to go down and got ready. He grabbed his blade and headed out. As he walked out he nodded to some of the henchmen that were guarding the halls. These were some of the ones fortunate enough to still be able to walk.

As he headed towards the first room his thoughts drifted to the voluptuous green haired resident of Punk Hazard. The woman had changed her strategy when approaching him. As opposed to the curiosity filled questions she'd ask to try and get information now she seemed to be trying to get close to him. Perhaps she was trying to make him feel more comfortable around her.

It's easier for people to have a slip of the tongue around people they know or feel good around. How did she do this? Flirting.

Little arm rubs here or there. Smiling and laughing at jokes even he knew were pretty bad. The only time she seemed to genuinely laugh was when they'd poke fun at the resident clown. He had to hand it to her, if he was anyone else he could see her plan working. Unfortunately for her, he wasn't anyone else. He'd flirted with women in the past to try and get information out of them. He knew the game.

"Wonder how far she'll go to try and get me" He thought to himself as he entered the first room. Along the walls were six chains hanging on a piece of metal. On the opposite side was a giant metal locker. "If she thinks she can play me she's in for a big surprise" He thought as he opened it up.

Just as he remembered inside the locker were extra chains. Why Caesar felt the need for so many he didn't know. "Now which ones are normal?" He asked quietly as he grabbed them one by one until he felt the ones that didn't drain him. After a few seconds he had three.

Heading over to the wall he used his sheath to lift the sea prism chains off their place and replaced them with the normal ones. Quickly putting the sea stone cuffs into the locker he turned around and headed out. "Alright. One down a couple more to go." He thought to himself. As he walked through the halls of the facility he began to hear the distinct sound of a certain gas man approaching. Sure enough once he turned the corner he saw Caesar talking to some of his men who were looking at the man like he was some sort of angel. It was probably their turn to get their limbs fixed. The clown must have sensed he was being watched as he turned to face him.

"Ah Uzumaki. Just the man I wanted to see." He greeted as he approached.

The blond raised an eyebrow as he couldn't think of any reason the man would need him. "What do you need?"

"We seem to have some uninvited guests on the island. I saw them on the surveillance cameras I have outside of the facility." The clown told him.

"Marines?"

Caesar laughed in amusement but shook his head. "No nothing that exciting. Just some low level no name pirates trying to make a name for themselves. I don't know how they got here but that doesn't matter, I can't let them stay here. Do me a favor and take care of them won't you." He requested.

Naruto sighed "Fine where are they?"

"Go to the main entrance where I met you two. They're a few hundred yards out, you'll see them."

The blond didn't reply and simply nodded before heading to the door. He heard Caesar give him thanks but continued anyways. Right before he opened the door to the outside he made sure to put his hood up as it was still snowing pretty hard. He only had to walk for a few minutes before the silhouettes of people he didn't know came into view. Using his kenbunshoku haki he knew there was seven of them. None of them had any sort of unique signature, except one.

"I don't think I've ever seen someone actually style their hair in a top knot before." He said to himself in slight amusement. He rolled his neck slightly to stretch before getting to work. He let his left arm extend out and willed his devil fruit powers to activate.

Starting at his wrist with his palm vertical the black substance he uses to form his gift balls emerged. Coming form either ends they extended until they formed a long bow. Similar to his other ability the long bow had four small interconnecting circles both above and below his wrist before becoming a solid piece. A small thin strand formed the string.

Using his right hand he willed the black substance to create three bows. Finally he imbued all of the pieces with his busoshoku haki.

During their training Gerard had told him how the previous user of his fruit would create a long bow and combine it with haki for devastating long range attacks. His bows were strong enough to be able to pierce almost anything. When he heard about the technique he remembered his fight with Doflamingo, how the man kept flying around in the sky while he stayed below.

It took him a while to get the grasp of it, since he never tried forming his substance into anything. However, after he'd gotten it down he'd found that he was a natural with a bow. Not only was his aim good but he'd even managed to use the technique in a way that the previous user hadn't.

Placing his arrows in position he took a deep breath and exhaled. Releasing the arrows he watched as they soared through the air at amazing speeds. The pirates didn't see it coming. Two were shot in the heart while the other had gotten lucky and decided to move for some reason at the last second, which resulted in him being shot in the arm.

Those around were immediately on guard. The man shot in the arm gripped his arm before falling face first into the ground. The blond watched on in satisfaction as his technique did it's job. He remembered when he'd shown the technique to Gerard. The man had praised him telling him he was more worthy of that power. Apparently 'Askin' was a lazy bastard who was smart but had no desire to fight. Therefor he never experimented with his abilities too much, focusing on finishing battles early instead.

Naruto fired his arrows into his opponents, those lucky, or unlucky enough to survive would find that the Haki would recede after the arrow pierced and would suffer the effects of a gift ball. It was bad enough touching one with your bare skin, but it touching your insides? You could kiss your life goodbye.

The others, having seen what'd happened made a break for it. The blonds eyes took a blue tint as his haki gave him a peek into the future. Aiming his arrows accordingly he fired three more. Three fired, three killed. Finally he was down to one. As he loaded his last arrow he noticed the man had disappeared from view. "Should I go after him?" He asked himself. A second later the bow and arrows disappeared. "I think he got the message." he decided and headed back.

The rest of the day consisted of finishing his original job replacing the sea prism stone chains with regular ones. It took a while as he had to sneak into some of the rooms due to the new henchmen walking about. The last thing he wanted was to be questioned and have to kill someone. Having decided to call it a day he began walking back to his quarters when he noticed something.

A hallway that was usually heavily guarded up until now was empty. "They're probably with Law right now." He glanced left and right. Realizing this was a golden chance to see a new part of the place he changed course. He walked down the hallway and made a couple of turns until he came across a giant door.

"Biscuits room?" He read in confusion. It seemed completely out of place considering where they were. "The hell kinda name is that?" Opening the door his eyebrows raised up to his hairline in surprise. He wasn't sure what he was expecting the inside to look like with a name like 'biscuits room' but it certainly wasn't this. It seemed to by a giant day care room. It even had kids inside. Giant kids.

"Holy shit" He thought as he looked at them. Some were at least twice or even three times as tall as him but couldn't be older than ten. It seemed he'd gotten their attention too as they stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to him. One of the kids made her way to him. He wasn't sure whether or not to call her a little girl since she was huge. She stopped a few feet away from him and kneeled down.

"Hi. I haven't seen you before. Is Monet sick?" She asked.

He frowned. "No I just got lost and ended up here. What are you kids doing here?"

"Oh we've been here a while. We're all sick and were brought here to be cured. If we hadn't been brought we would have gotten our parents sick too." She told him. He studied her face and found no trace of deceit. She truly believed what she was telling him.

"Something's not right here." He thought. "And whose trying to cure you? Is it Caesar?"

The 'little' girl nodded happily. "Yeah. He said his son had caught the disease years ago and died from it. That's why he wants to help us so our parents won't be as sad as he was. And he gives us candy everyday so it's not that bad. Soon we should be able to go back home to our families." She told him smiling at the possibility of going home.

The blond forced himself not to show any emotion as he took in the information. Having seen how Caesar behaves and that he's working for Doflamingo he knew they were never going home. Not only that but Monet was in on it as well. Though he wasn't that surprised considering she's his assistant, but he figured it was only for producing SMILE's.

"I'm sure everything will work out and you guys will be going home soon." He told them with as much confidence as he could. He may be a money loving bounty hunter but even he had a soft spot for children. "We'll unfortunately I have to go back now. I think one of my friends will be looking for me."

The girl nodded and waved by at him before heading back to her friends. He watched her go and took one last look around the room. Everyone seemed to be playing and having a good time, except one little kid. He was off to the side almost at the other end of the room sitting down with a frown on his face. Taking a closer look the kid he noticed the top of his head was shaved only leaving the sides and a small pony tail sticking upwards on the back. He looked like a child stuck in the wrong time period.

"Wait" He blinked. His thoughts turned to the man outside lab with the top knot. Two people with hair cuts that seemed completely out of place regardless of where in the grand line they were. He shook his head it was probably just a coincidence.

Turning back he made it to his room with no trouble. He laid in bed for a little while reflecting on what he'd seen. The giant kids, the strange kid and strange man outside. He was brought out of his musings when Law teleported himself inside. Law took a deep breath and sat down with his back against the wall.

"You alright there?" Naruto asked.

Law nodded. "Just a little tired. Caesar had me replace his minions body parts with that of animals. He pretty much created hybrids so they can walk. Centaurs, Half alligators, you name it. Took most of the day because the clown had very specific instructions on what he wanted done." He explained and took a deep breath. "How'd it go on your end?"

"I got the job done. I also found something interesting." He said getting the interest of his captain.

The man nodded for him to continue. "I know you've seen more than I have since your fruit lets you pretty much teleport yourself through a wall. Have you ever seen the 'biscuit room?'" Law shakes his head. While he had been to most places he hadn't heard of such a room. The blond went on to explain what he'd seen and what the little giant girl had told him.

"He's experimenting with gigantification. I'm no scientist but I've heard it's impossible even for someone like him." Naruto told him. "He's using them as test subjects under the guise of treatment. But for what?"

"Caesar doesn't do things just because. I'm sure he knows it's impossible. Even Vegapunk wasn't capable of it. We'll figure it out as we go along but forget about it for now. We've got other problems." Naruto couldn't think of anything else that could cause a problem. They already had Monet, Caesar, and Doffy to worry about what else was there? "This base only produces the SAD chemical for the SMILE's. Which means the actual SMILE's are being produced elsewhere." He explained with a scowl on his face.

"You know where." It wasn't a question.

The captain nodded. "Yeah. At that bastards kingdom Dressrosa." The man took a deep breath to calm himself down. "As much as I'd like to just destroy it now we have to wait until we can commandeer one of the ships Caesar has on the island without being noticed or stopped. For now we'll bide our time until we can strike." He said as he stood up and headed back to his own room.

The blond laid back down and closed his eyes. He knew what they were here for but after seeing those kids in the room he couldn't leave the island without helping them. Perhaps he'd see if he could get some information out of Monet. Ridding his mind of those thoughts he covered himself with the blankets and let sleep take him.

That's all for this chapter guys. I know it's a little slow but don't worry next chapter will be better. Anyways what did you guys think? Any suggestions on what you'd like to see? If so feel free to leave them in a review or PM me. Stay safe. Later.
