After the lunch, Jon & Vivi go to the garden in the back and sit on a bench. Vivi put her head on Jon's shoulder and Jon put his arm around Vivi too. They just stay silent and close their eyes. They want to feel each other's warmth and presence.
"Why don't you told me that you're coming here?"-Vivi
"Then it wouldn't be a surprise."-Jon
"Hehe, i like the surprise, but is it okay?"-Vivi
"What is?"-Jon
"You are training for 2 years right? Is it okay to take your time and come here?"-Vivi
"Why not? I need rest too, training everytime is not a good thing. Beside, i will still training in here, so i drag your soldiers too."-Jon
"Hihihi, so you want to have some training companions?"-Vivi
"That is a part of the reason, but the main reason is because they are the ones that will protect you all the time. I can't always be with you, but i need to make sure that you're safe. The best option is to make the people around you stronger."-Jon
"Is that so? Then maybe i can train with you too."-Vivi
"Sure, but you better not chickening out later, princess."-Jon smirk
"Wha- Hmph, you must be forgot that i was a bounty hunter."-Vivi pout
"Sure, sure, Ms. Wednesday, hahaha"-Jon
Jon & Vivi talk for a long time until it get dark. They have many things that they can't say on denden mushi. They also want to enjoy the next month when Jon is here.
"Ah, that's right, what did your dad mean by you asked him ro marry the Queen?"-Jon
"Well, did you remember that i have a plan so we can be together in the future?"-Vivi
"Yeah, so this is your plan?"-Jon
"That's right. I know father have a lover and they have a son. He was lonely after my mother passed away, so i can't blame him for having a secret lover. I found out when i was a bounty hunter, because Igaram said it while he was drunk. I was very angry back then, but i know i need to keep working for the Kingdom."-Vivi
"So, you forgive him now?"-Jon
"I never blame him, i just angry that he didn't told me anything. I feel like he didn't trust me enough to tell me about this. So when we date, i decide to confront him about this. He was very surprised, but i convince him to get married again."-Vivi
"So you know they have a son, and a son will be the successor. In another word, you are shifting your responsibility to your brother. I don't know you're very cunning, hahaha."-Jon
"Of course i will be cunning after living with Nami for sometime."-Vivi grin cheekily
Jon smile at her and pinch her adorable cheeks. Even if there are prettier woman out there, Vivi is still the most charming for him. At night, Jon join the King in bath again.
"Since when did you two dating?"-Cobra
"Just after the war, when we wait for Luffy to wake up. I almost give up you know, because i'm a criminal and she is a princess of a Kingdom. We live in a different world, and can't live together. But who would have thought that she was very insistent to keep our relationship."-Jon
"Hahaha, she is always like that, she won't quit easily when she decide something. ... Please take care of my daughter, i know she want to be with you. She want to be free and sail on the sea, but she know she have responsibility as a princess. Before a King, i am a father, and i want to see my daughter happy."-Cobra
"Of course, i will take care & protect her. I am not some wimpy King afterall."-Jon
"WIMPY!? Wh-why'd you call me wimpy?"-Cobra
"Aren't you? I mean, Vivi gave Crocodile more fight than you, aren't you wimpy then?"-Jon
"I am just old, back in my younger days-"-Cobra
"I have met many crazy old mans that are stronger than my entire crew, and they are older than you. Don't blame your age, you're just lazy to train right?"-Jon
"!!! *gulp*"-Cobra look away
"You need to train your body a little, old man. I don't want you to die before i marry your daughter. You even have some grey hairs already, it's just 6 months you know."-Jon
"I-i can't exert my old bones too much."-Cobra say, make Jon have a tickmark
"STOP WHINING! YOU'RE NOT EVEN 50 YET! You will train with me or i will take your daughter away, right now."-Jon
Jon stand and look down at Cobra with intimidating gaze. Cobra finally nod reluctanly and Jon get out from the bath. Leaving the defeated King alone in there.
Jon then go to his room that has been prepared by the servants. He can't stay in the same room with Vivi because they're not married yet. She is a Royal family, so they can't just sleep in the same room before marriage.
They need to keep the image of royal family too. A Princess have different rule to follow than a Prince afterall. They will have their engagement next week with some trusted aids only. They won't announce it because of Jon's identity.
They decide it to be next week because it will be after the Prince's birthday. That will also be the day he will be announced as the Crown Prince. They can't announce it before, because they are focused on rebuilding Alabasta. So his birthday is the perfect chance for this.
In his room, Jon make a training menu for him and everyone that he will train. It is just a test menu for tomorrow. He will test their strength then will make the best training plan for the next month. He will make them strong, so they can protect Vivi better.
"Sigh, if only i can protect her all the time by myself."-Jon
'Don't think like that kid! Rather than protecting her, think of a way so she can protect herself. I can tell that she's not a fragile girl, so don't treat her like one.'-Kurama
"Yeah, i think you're right. Altough i never know you can give me advice about girl."-Jon
'I was sealed in 2 womens before, so i know what they thought. Altough i couldn't care less about humans relationship.'-Kurama
"Then why'd you give me advice?"-Jon
'Because you're so pathetic that i can't stand it.'-Kurama smirk, make Jon have a tickmark
'HUH? DAMN YOU STUPID FOX, I'LL BEAT YOUR ASS FOR THAT ACCUSATION.'-Jon have a tickmark on his head
'Hoo, then come here, i will show you just how weak you are.'-Kurama
Jon then enter his mindacape and fight with Kurama. The result? Kurama win easily. They have agreed to just fight with physical strength and use chakra for strengthening only. Of course Jon is not Kurama's opponent in physical power.
They actually start this after Jon can use Armament Haki. Kurama said he need more experiences in fighting without his strong point. The best opponent that he can always fight is Kurama, so they often do it.
"Hehe, you still have a long way to go kid."-Kurama
"Damn, i'm not fast & strong enough."-Jon
"You're too reliant on your sharingan & ninjutsus before. That eyes are not invincible, and no power is invincible. I have lived thousands of years, and i have seen a lot of people rely too much on something or someone. In the end, they can't do anything without it. At least you're not that helpless without it, you just need to train it."-Kurama
"Yeah, i feel like i keep getting better every time. I also feel that my physique develop faster than before."-Jon
"It's your Senju blood, they have a strong physique and chakra. That's why many clans fear them and scheme against them after Hashirama and Tobirama die."-Kurama
"Well, i don't really want to know about that history, i just want to know what i should do next."-Jon
"Use that medical jutsu to make your physique develop even faster."-Kurama
"Ah, you mean i break the muscle with training, then heal it to make it stronger? I almost forgot about that, thanks for the reminder."-Jon
"Remember kid, physical power will not leave you and can help you fight any enemy. My father can fight with ninshuu users easily, but a strong taijutsu user is harder to fight, just like his brother."-Kurama
"Ah, now that you say it, Six Path Madara also got injured greatly by Guy in Eighth Gate using taijutsu only. It's more than 2 years already, and i start to forget things, sigh. I will make a note of many important information later."-Jon
"Maybe you got influenced by Hashirama's stupidity? There's no way you will forget things easily with Madara's brain power."-Kurama
"Eh? That's.... possible. Or maybe because my friends are stupid too."-Jon
Jon have some cold sweat, he like his intelligence, so he don't want to lose it. He will read books in library again to help his brain from deteriorating because of Hashirama's gene. He need to stimulate his brain again to develop it. Jon leave his mind scape and sleep, because tomorrow he will train many people.
The next morning, Jon wake up and he did his usual morning workout. The prince is still sleeping, so Jon know he need to discipline that kid's wake up time. Jon always wake up at 4 am and only sleep again after he did his training. That is if he have night guard shift on the ship, but now he never need to take night guard, so he will not sleep again.
Jon then have breakfast with the royal family and ask Sinbad, Vivi & the guards to get ready. Jon have coordinates with Chaka, the Commander of Royal Guards. So there's no guards that can run away from the training.
Sometime later on the training ground, Jon have wear his training suit. Well, it's just blue short pants with white tanktop, white cap and sunglasses. It attract many female attendant, and jealousy from the guards. The students, Sinbad & the guards that will get train by him also stand in formation.
"ALRIGHT, HEAR ME YOU DEGENERATES! YOU WILL CALL ME INSTRUCTOR! I HEAR NO COMPLAIN AND YOU WILL DO AS I SAY! DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOU LOW LIVES?"-Jon say while striking his bamboo sword to the ground.
The 'students' didn't understand what happen and why Jon ask them to call him instructor. So Jon have a dark face and he strike the ground again while covering his sword with earth chakra. The ground cracked and dust spreading, scaring the shit out of the 'students'.
"YOUR ANSWER?"-Jon
""YES, INSTRUCTOR!""-Students
"Good, now run around this field until you can't run again! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"-Jon strike the ground again.
The students run as fast as they can, while Jon chase after them while yelling. He run while slapping the one behind with a paper fan that fused with chakra, so it hurts. He won't spare anyone, not even the 10 y.o Prince. This make the King and other audiences at the side worried.
"Are they going to be okay?"-King
"No need to worry about the Guards Your Majesty. I am more worried about the Prince."-Chaka
"Don't worry, Sinbad's resolve is not that weak. I'm sure Jon did this to test his resolve. If he give up just from this, then Jon will not train him anymore."-Vivi
"You know him very well, Vivi. Young people's love really make me jealous."-Queen
"Hehe, well, you two also seem to be lovey dovey many times. Maybe i will get another little brother or sister soon."-Vivi
*pffftt*
The King spit his tea, and the Queen blushed brightly. Vivi just giggle and look at the ones that run around the field. The hellish training have started.
