Chereads / The Shinobi of Straw Hats / Chapter 217 - 216. Deciding The Future Path

Chapter 217 - 216. Deciding The Future Path

Luffy suddenly walk forward to accept Sakazuki's duel proposal. Everyone is stunned, and think Luffy want to avenge Ace.

"Wait, Luffy! I'll be the one who fight him. I don't have the chance to fought for Ace 2 years ago, so i'll do it now."-Sabo

Suddenly, Sabo stop Luffy and intended to fight Sakazuki. They got into an argument and fight among themselves. They didn't realize that someone else have come forward and stand in front of Sakazuki, it's Dragon.

"Let's settle all of these, Sakazuki. We can fight for days, but we don't have time. I will give it my all, and finish this war soon."-Dragon

"Don't boast too much, Dragon! If you have such strength, you won't hide for so long."-Sakazuki

"Then, let's find it out. Kid, take us up there! This island won't survive if we go all out."-Dragon said to Jon

"Sure."-Jon

Jon make 2 clones, then send them to Dragon & Sakazuki. The clones then teleport Dragon & Sakazuki to the ruins of Mary Geoise. This place has been destroyed, so they can fight to their heart content. Jon also have razed this place using his clones and left nothing.

"The destruction is even worse than i thought. Just what did you do to destroy it like this?"-Dragon

"That is a secret."-Jon's clone smirk

"You and all your secrets. Whatever, just make sure they don't kill each other down there."-Dragon

Jon's clones nod and they dispell themselves. Jon receive the memory and he stand up.

"Listen all of you ingrates! There shouldn't be any blood being shed in this place from now on! Take your fallen & injured brethrens to your side and take care of them. There's no more fight, and if i see even one scuffle among you, just know that i have thousands of free hands behind me."-Jon

Everyone look at Jon, and many people gulp their saliva. The leader figures agree, so their subordinates also agree. The ones who still can move take their fallen & injured comrades to their side.

Of course it won't went smoothly like what Jon want. When they pass by their enemies, they start to look at each other with anger. Jon know this, so he move some of his wood statue's hands, and they all feel cold on their spine. They stop looking at their enemies & focus on taking their comrades back.

After they all finished, Jon teleport right on the center of both sides. Jon then make a row of wood bars accross the island to separate both sides. Then Jon made a rather big wooden building in the center that can be accessed from both sides.

"Sabo, Koala, why don't you talk some things to them? Maybe you discuss about the future with them."-Jon

Sabo & Koala think for a moment and discuss with the other Commander. The representative from the Kingdoms that join the alliance also come forward. They're Vivi, Kyros, Dagama and Prince Fukaboshi. None of their King came here, as it is too dangerous.

"How is it? Personally, i think Jon's idea is not bad, but i don't think it will work."-Sabo

"Why're you being so pessimistic? We won't know if we didn't try. The World Goverment has gone down, and if no one take over the position to control the system, the world will fall into chaos."-Vivi

"Princess Vivi is right, the world haven't know that the Celestial Dragons have fell from their throne. If we take control of the matter fast, there will be no chaos, or at least we can minimize it."-Koala

They finally agree to have a discussion with the Marines, so Jon go to the Marine's side. The lower ranked Marines point their weapons at Jon, but he kewp walking to the Admirals. He face Fujitora & Kizaru who stand there with Garp, Sengoku, & Tsuru.

The Vice Admirals behind them start to get wary, because as a pirate, Jon might not follow their agreement to settle this war through the duel. Furthermore, Jon's feat in this war is almost impossible to achieve without brilliant strategy & sufficient strength, so they can't let their guard down.

The Admirals and the highest ranked people stand a lot taller than Jon. Jon's height is around 2 meters, but these Admirals & co are around 3 meters. However, no one there can look down on Jon just because he is shorter. His presence is as terrifying as all of them there.

The Admiral have torned clothes & wounds all over their body. Jon also have torned clothes, but his body didn't have any wound left, and only battle marks. It is because his wound was healed, but the marks are still there. But that's enough to show the difference of their condition & strength now.

"We want to have some discussions with you guys. This will decide where this world will go to after this war."-Jon

"Why don't you just spill it now?"-Tsuru

"It's not my job to do that. I'm a pirate, not a human rights, freedom activist, nor even someone that want to save the world like them. My sole purpose in this war is revenge, and i've got it, so i don't care about anything else."-Jon

"You made the building, what if there are traps there?"-Kizaru

"Heeh, someone at your level is afraid of traps, so surprising. If you're that worry, just bring all your best mens."-Jon

"The duel is still happening up there, shouldn't we wait for the result?"-Fujitora

"And how long will that result come out? Why don't you do something productive while healing yourselves?"-Jon

The high ranked Marines are still suspicious and didn't want to risk anything now. But suddenly, Garp walk alone to the building while eating his crackers. Sengoku chase & try to stop Garp, but Garp say he just want to talk & discipline his grandsons.

"Sigh, i think we need to go. Those old mans will create problems if no one watch over them."-Tsuru

Kizaru & Fujitora didn't have any choice even though they're the Admirals and go to the house with some strong Vice-Admirals. Jon also go to the building & enter a big room. Jon then stand behind Vivi who sit on a chair.

This building only have a single room, and it's really wide. In the room, there are 2 long tables on both sides for Marines & Alliance. There are some chairs too which of course, made from wood.

On Marine side, the one who sit are Fujitora, Kizaru, Sengoku, Garp, & Tsuru, with some Vice Admirals standing behind them. While on the Alliance side, it's Sabo, Vivi, Fukaboshi, Kyros, and Dagama, with Jon, the 5 RA Commanders, & Koala behind.

Luffy or another pirates except Jon are not here, as they prefer to eat something outside rather than sitt & talk in here. Things like this will just make their head hurts, so they stay outside.

"Then, let's-"-Sabo

"Wait!"-Garp

"What is it, Gramps?"-Sabo

"Where's Luffy?"-Garp

"Outside, having a feast with everyone."-Jon

Garp get very pissed, because Luffy didn't even come here to meet him. So Garp yell and barged out to get Luffy. Everyone is stunned, and soon, they hear Luffy's scream and Garp's yell. He is really disciplining his grandson in the middle of a war.

"Let's ignore it and focus on our discussion here."-Sabo

"Just get to the point! We don't want to waste our time."-Sengoku

"Alright, we will take over World Goverment & run it again, while you guys still have Marine."-Sabo

A commotion happen among the Marines, and some Vice-Admirals didn't agree with Sabo. World Goverment is above Marine, so it will mean that the RA that will move the WG will control the Marine.

"Stop! Let's hear it in detail first."-Tsuru

"Tsuru-san is right, let's listen it first, we have just started."-Kizaru

"Our proposal is to separate the World Goverment & Marine, but still connect it to watch at each other."-Sabo said, make the Marines got silent & confused

"Your sentence confuse them."-Koala

Koala then explain to them, that they want to take over the World Goverment and change it's system & law. They'll rebuild the law & make it better for people, and not siding with anyone, even nobles. The Vice-Admirals behind, are surprised & murmur among themselves.

As for the New WG and Marine, they will be separated. They will work without any side being on top of the other. However, they will still watch over each other and make sure that no one of them violate the law that they'll make.

"Who will create this law?"-Sengoku

"All of us. The New WG, Marine, and all affiliated Nations."-Koala

"You'll include Marine?"-Sengoku

"Yes, because we don't want any bias and complain after the new law finished."-Koala

"What about the Nations?"-Fujitora

"In the name of my father, Alabasta agree to this, because we think that this is the most fair solution. The past law is biased to the Celestial Dragons & those who side with the World Goverment or Nobles, so we want to change that."-Vivi

The other Nations then put denden mushis in front of them. The denden mushis are connected to their Kings that will talk through it. All the Kings from Ryugu, Dressrosa, and Prodence agree like Alabasta.

The Marines think & discuss among themselves. People like Sengoku, Tsuru, & Fujitora think that it's a good proposal. While Kizaru didn't really care about it, but he didn't think that it's a bad idea.

All of them are not that fond of being WG's dog. They all know what the Celestial Dragons did, but they can't do anything about it. So this proposal is something that they really like. However, they still not sure wether to believe the RA or not, as they're still enemies now.

"Hmm~, i can think of how the RA will become the New World Goverment. But how about the pirates in your alliance?"-Kizaru

They all look at Jon, the only pirate that stay in this room.

"What? You want a candy?"-Jon take out a candy from his pocket

"Jon, be serious!"-Vivi

Vivi get a tickmark on her head and pinch Jon's waist.

"OUCH OUCH OUCH! Okay, okay, i will be serious."-Jon

Vivi release her pinch, and Jon rub his waist to ease the pain. The other just didn't know what to say and can only blink their eyes.

"Sigh, pirates are pirates. Even if we win this, we are still pirates, and you know what to do about it."-Jon

"You still want to be chased around like criminals?"-Tsuru

"Of course, that is the fun part of being pirates, being chased by enemies. We also like the bounties, so make sure to raise it a lot after this."-Jon

They sweatdrop at Jon's request, but they all know pirates love their bounty and always try to raise it, so it's not that strange.

"You don't want to rule the world? I thought your captain want to be the Pirate King."-Fujitora

"Rule the world? Haiya~, that's troublesome, too much work. Also, Luffy just want to be a Pirate King, he didn't want to be an important person."-Jon

"".....Huh?""-All

Everyone, even his comrades tilt their head to the left because they're very confused & didn't know what Jon mean by that. Jon just shrug his shoulder and didn't bother to explain anything to them. He just say what Luffy said when they were about to leave Dressrosa.

"He just want to be a free person, free to do what he want."-Sabo

"Free, they always said that as excuse to do crimes."-Sengoku

"That's why we need to create law & rules, so we can stop people from going overboard."-Betty

"That sounds good, but we need more details before agreeing."-Fujitora

They continue their discussion, and it went rather well. It get heated up for some times, but nothing extreme happen. They also find some problems & solutions, but they haven't had any deal yet.

Jon just lean on the wall while meditating to replenish his chakra. Then suddenly, Zetsu #1 come out from the ground and call Jon. Jon open his eyes and look at #1 that have serious face.

"Boss, they've landed on a land."-Zetsu #1

"Their ships are really fast fast, it's just a few hours since they left. Where?"-Jon

"Enies Lobby, planning on going to old Marineford while waiting for the war to end."-Zetsu #1

"Good, i'll go there now."-Jon is about to teleport, but Vivi stop him

"Where do you want to go?"-Vivi

"Hunting some 'Gods', and take them down from their throne."-Jon

Vivi understand what Jon means and ask him to be careful.

"Jon, please don't forget my father's request."-Fukaboshi

"Mjosgard, right? Don't worry."-Jon vanished
