Chapter 201: 200. Preparation Completed
Jon is on a pirate ship, a galleon just like what he needed. He stand on the ship's head and grin at the pirates. All the pirates seem to recognize him even though it's rather dark.
"T-that blood red eyes, a-and that golden giant figure, t-there's no mistake."-Pirate A
"Ca-captain, he is-"-Pirate B
"*gulp* Yeah, a pirate with 2,5 billion bounty, the one who defeat Yonkou Kaido in a one on one battle, 'Demon Eyes' Van D. Jono."-Captain
The Captain still looks young, maybe just some years older than Jon. Even the pirates are not that old, and they seem like teenagers trying to be pirates. Jon just thought that maybe they became pirates after White Beard's death.
"Ooh, you guys know me, that means we can settle this fast."-Jon still grin, make everyone shiver
"Se-settle what?"-Captain
"I need your ship, that's all. If you give it to me-"-Jon
""YESS, GLADLY.""-All Pirates said without hesitation
"Huh?"-Jon is surprised
"Y-you guys sure are fast."-Jon blinks continuously
"It's just a ship, even if you ask us to help you fight an Emperor again, we will help."-Captain say eagerly
Jon look at the pirates that have glittering eyes and smiles on their face. He feel something is not right, but he don't know what. Then he see someone come from the back and give something to their captain, it's a paper.
"M-Mr. Jon, c-can i get your autograph?"-Captain
Jon is stunned, but he still give his autograph. The pirates start to cheer happily and they framed the paper.
'T-this, this feels familiar.'-Jon
Jon then remember the Barto Club, and these guys have the same atmosphere on them.
"Hold on! You guys, what's your crew's name?"-Jon
"We are the Golden Skeleton, and i am the captain, 'Golden Teeth' Gary."-Gary
Gary smile and Jon just realize that he have 2 golden teeth. He also look around and realize that the ship have some golden accent. Altough he know they're just paints & not real gold.
Jon look at the main sail and see their logo, and that make his jaw drop. The logo is golden skull with 2 skeletal hands crossing the skull. However, inside the skull's eye sockets, is a pair of sharingan.
Jon shifted his sight on the pirates, and they all look at him with glittering eyes. Jon point at the logo, and they all just nod & look very proud of it. Jon is dumbfounded, and he don't know how to react. He just massage his temples and sigh.
"I don't know if it is the case, but did you guys actually-"-Jon
""YES, WE ARE YOUR FANS.""-Pirates
"....I don't even finished yet. Sigh, whatever, i can see that you guys didn't lie at all. Now i feel bad for taking your ship."-Jon suddenly feel tired
"Don't be, if you just want the ship, we can give it to you. We'll just make a new ship."-Gary
"No, i think i don't need to take your ship now. Altough maybe i can use your help."-Jon
""YES!!""-Pirates
"Sigh, let's talk about it. I haven't trust you yet, but i don't feel any malicious intent from you, and you haven't lied to me so far, so i guess i will try to trust you."-Jon
"Don't worry about it, Sir. We know you are a very careful person."-Gary
They all guide Jon to their dining room, which surprisingly filled with food, and they're steaming hot. They let Jon sit on the Captain's seat position, and the captain sit on his right.
Jon can't say anything at all about these guys and just play along. They all start to eat while the pirates talk about Jon & the Straw Hats' adventure. Jon is surprised on how many things they knew.
"Well, we always follow your news since the tragedy in Alabasta. Me & some of the early members are from Alabasta actually, and join the rebellion."-Gary
"You were?"-Jon is surprised
"Yes, we saw what you did on Katorea when you exposed Crocodile's spies easily. We start to admire you, and then at the battle day, we saw you defeat many people at once."-Gary
"We saw you were having difficulties after killing those people, so we know you are not really a cold hearted person. We keep track on what you did in the war, and became your admirer. Ah, i'm the first mate, Karl."-Karl
The pirates start to introduce their names, but Jon can't remember every one of them of course. Then they go to a room filled with collection of Straw Hats, mostly Jon. They even have a book of news articles about Jon.
They tell Jon that their golden skeleton flag is based on Jon's skeletal susanoo. They also have many details on their ship that have Jon's traits. This ship is new, they just made it on Water 7, so they can add many more details, like 9 tails on the rear, and fox head figure on front.
"Okay, i believe you now. Sigh, another troublesome fans."-Jon
"Hehehe, we like the Straw Hats, but we idolize you more."-Gary scratch his head
"Why? I don't think i come out on news that often in the past, and Luffy is more eyecatching in news right?"-Jon
"That's right, but that's what make it better. You didn't showed up that often on the islands that you came to, unlike your crewmates. But once you came out, you make a big impact, and that looks very cool."-Gary
'That's because i hide to find information, and i want to look cool when i appear.'-Jon sweatdrop
"Then your first bounty, i can't believe that the first bounty you get was more than 100 million berri. You immediately became 2nd highest bounty in your crew after Captain Straw Hat."-Karl
"Then-"-Gary
"Enough, i don't need to know any other reason. Sigh, if you idolize me & my crew, did you want to help us a little?"-Jon
""YESS!""-Pirates
They all seem happy, so Jon smile a little at these idiots. Jon just realize that these guys also never attack civilians. Maybe they follow Straw Hats' way, or maybe because they're from Alabasta and know civilians' suffering in war.
"Wait, when did you made your crew?"-Jon
"Hmm, it's about time when your crew hide from the surface, after Summit War. I gather some people, and we became apprentices on Green Hat pirates, a subordinate crew of Red Hair pirates that operate in Paradise."-Karl
"We've just finished a few months ago, and when your crew showed up again, we want to chase you to New World."-Gary
"We've reached Sabaody before, but when we want to coat our ship, the coater said that our ship is not strong enough for New World, so he told us to make a new ship on Water 7."-Karl
"Ooh, a ship coater that warn his customer about their ship, how rare. Who is he?"-Jon
"An old man that like to drink, his name is Ray-san. They said he is the best ship coater on Sabaody."-Gary
"He suddenly become friendly to us when we told him that we are your fans, strange."-Karl
"!? Sigh, just how many coincidence this could be?"-Jon massage his temples
"You know him?"-Gary
"He was our ship coater, and Luffy's teacher."-Jon
"Teacher? Did Captain Straw Hat learnt how to coat a ship?"-Karl got confused
"No, well, that old man is strong, stronger than us 2 years ago, so he trained Luffy."-Jon
The pirates got more curious at Rayleigh. Jon want to tell them Rayleigh's real identity, but he find it more interesting if they didn't know. When they find out about it, it will be an interesting show to watch.
"What's this ship's capacity?"-Jon
"For weight, it's about 900 tons, we make it big afterall. For crews, it's about 400 mens, altough we just have 134 currently."-Gary
"I just need the weight, as long as it can house thousands of people then it should be fine. How much weight can you reduce?"-Jon
"We just have 100 tons to begin with. We don't have much things yet."-Gary
"Alright, it should be enough."-Jon
Jon then teleport the whole ship to Sabaody. It take a lot of chakra, but it's worth the time efficiency. The pirates are surprised, and they admire Jon more than before.
Jon ignore them and go to meet Rayleigh in the bar. Jon then bring Rayleigh to the ship, and he was really the one who gave them advice. Now Rayleigh compliment their ship and give it a pass.
"Rayleigh, i'll come back in 3 days, i have many things to do, and i can't stay on Sabaody. If Marine found out that i'm here, they might send a fleet just to get me."-Jon
"Well, you're a hot topic now, so they'll certainly go after you."-Rayleigh
"You guys, here, consider this as a gift for your help. Remember, stay low and wait for my instruction in 3 days."-Jon
""YESS!""-Pirates shout out loud
"I just said to stay low, sigh, whatever."-Jon
Jon give them a book of Rokushiki & haki manual. He won't train them, so it's up to their talent & hard work to train on those. Rayleigh also tell them a good location to hide & train on the Archipelago.
After finishing his business on Sabaody, Jon go to Dressrosa. He fly like usual and it only take less than a day from Sabaody. He go to Green Bit and meet the Tontattas there.
""Jo-land!!""-Tontattas
"Ooh, you guys are so lively like usual. Where's Leo?"-Jon
"Leo is in Commander Kyros' place with Princess Mansherry, we'll call him now."-Kabu
"Ooh, di he realize about Mansherry's feeling?"-Jon
"Not at all."-Kabu
"Well, too bad, but that's what make it interesting."-Jon
Sometime later, Leo come with Mansherry & some Tontatta pirate members. Even Kyros follow them to come here. They talk for a bit before Jon give a marked kunai to Leo.
"Keep this with you, and wait for everyone to come. All crews of your 'Straw Hat Grand Fleet' will come here, so keep this kunai with you all the time."-Jon
"What's this kunai for?"-Leo
"Secret."-Jon smirk and then vanished
"W-where did he go?"-Mansherry
"He's so fast like usual."-Leo
"No, he's not moving at fast speed, he really just disappeared. And i don't think that's his clone."-Kyros' eyes widen a little
Jon just use his teleportation to leave Green Bit. This jutsu really can create a good entrance & exit scene. Jon teleport himself back to Wano now, and he teleport to the mark on Jane.
"You've returned. Have you finish everything?"-Jane
"Yeah, all preparation done, now i need to prepare myself."-Jon
"Prepare what?"-Jane
"My eyes, i'll do my attempt to upgrade it to Rinnegan."-Jon
"What? Now? It's not that easy to activate Rinnegan, even Madara need years to do it."-Jane
"I know, but since i got my full potential unlocked, i can feel my eyes itching. When it upgraded to EMS, i can feel it, my eyes haven't finished yet, but i miss something to upgrade it."-Jon
"What is it?"-Jane
"I don't know, so i want to ask you if you have a clue."-Jane
"Hmm, let me calculate it."-Jane
Jane think for a while before he answer Jon. She have access to almost all knowledge that Jon got, and she can remember everything, that's why Jon ask her.
"I think you need to blend your senjutsu with normal chakra."-Jane
"Huh? Isn't that what i do when i use sage mode?"-Jon
"No, that's not quite right. In sage mode, you use senjutsu alongside normal chakra, not blending it. Just think about it! God tree that produce chakra fruit, absorb nature chakra from the planet. Then it convert the nature chakra into human chakra, and it gave Rinne-Sharingan to Kaguya."-Jane
"Wait, no, that's wrong. If i need to blend human & nature chakra, then i need to know how to use senjutsu right? Madara can't use it, but he activate his rinnegan."-Jon
"...That's true."-Jane
Jon think deeply, and Jane also think of any possibilities.
"!? I think i know it."-Jon grin
