The training for the new ninja force has started and Jon is focus on training the new ninjas. Jon focus on training their ninja arts and not fighting. They can train fighting skills after he left, but ninja arts need his guidance for now.
The village building process also started together with the training. They make it between Alubarna & Nanohana, in the wide desert. They plan to make an underground village instead of normal village. Jon want a real hidden village and the best way to hide it is by make it underground.
Normally, the hidden village in Naruto World use seals array to hide and prevent intruders. But Jon's seal mastery haven't reach the level to make a complex mechanism that can protect a village. Beside, even if he can make it, no one can maintain it without any seal mastery, they can't even manipulate chakra.
So the best solution is to build the village under the ground. It will take time, but it's not a problem. Jon even give almost all of his savings for fund. The King want to reject the money, but Jon just shove it. It will be his investment for the future too.
Jon has a plan for the future when his village become big with a lot if ninjas. They will spread all around the world and gather all information. They can sell it to people, as long as it didn't harm people that close with him, or Alabasta. They can even do ninja missions, but it will be a plan for the future when they are big enough with thousands of ninjas.
It's been a week since the training started. Today the royal family come to check on the progress. They look at the training and Jon accompanying them.
"The training went well, they have started to use very basic ninja arts. They will focus on it first before train how to fight. They will be ready to do mission inside the kingdom in 6 months."-Jon
"6 months? I thought they will start when you leave."-King
"Don't be stupid, even 6 months are fast enough. I can only let them work inside the Kingdom to get experiences. They can go to outside world after 6 months again."-Jon
"S-stupid?"-King
"So, why don't they train how to fight? Isn't that important?"-Queen
"It is, but they have experienced in fighting, so it's not urgent. They can polish it after they train their ninja arts. How's the construction of the village?"-Jon
"It went well, the constructor is our trusted people that usually take care of Kingdom's property. They work fast, and won't leak any information."-King
"Good, but i need to erase their memory about the village later. It need to be kept a secret, even the ninjas won't know the whole village structure, not even Koza as a Kage."-Jon
"Aren't you too carefull?"-Vivi
"I need to be carefull, the village is a secret ground, that's why it's named hidden village. If i can build it alone, i will do it to avoid any leakage."-Jon
"Well, it will be faster if we have devil fruit user with power of construction."-Vivi
"Yeah it is, but we don't even have a devil fruit right now, so there's no use thinking about it."-Jon
"Have you checked the blackmarket?"-King
"Of course, but devil fruits are rare items. Their prices are high too, no matter how trivial their power are."-Jon
"You didn't bought any devil fruit on your journey?"-Vivi
"I never consider it, i don't have a use for devil fruit afterall. But don't worry, i have a channel that can find devil fruits for us."-Jon
Jon already contacted the RA and ask them to tell him if they find any devil fruit. He also find some people to help him finding devil fruits. They're ex-Baroque Works agents that work in a cafe, with the name of New Spider Work Cafe. He found them when he sweep Alabasta using his clones.
They escaped the Marines and still open a cafe. They also gathering information, so Jon offer a job to them. They might be enemies in the past, but now they're not. They agreed to be his ears, and they work independently, not affiliated with the village.
They work for Jon, not Alabasta, and Jon give them the real Rokushiki manual. He also plan to give Rokushiki manual to his ninjas, but Jon need to change them first so WG won't find out. The ninjas are affiliated with Alabasta, so he can't take a risk.
Jon have succeed in changing some skill from Rokushiki. He change Rankyaku to be used with weapons instead of legs, that works like flying attack. He changed Shigan to be used with any parts of body or weapons instead of just a finger.
Still, he can't change Tekkai, Geppo, Soru, and Kami-e. Jon just erase Geppo from the list that they can train. There is a similar technique like body flicker for Soru, so he use it. For Kami-e & Tekkai, he erase them and use Haki manual, Observation & Armament.
Hakis are harder to train, but it is more effective and stronger. Even basic Armament will allow them to touch devil fruit user like logia or paramecia like Luffy. The range of Observation Haki is also much wider than Kami-e.
Jon himself has learned Tekkai, Kami-e, Soru, & Rankyaku. He just need to learn Geppo and Shigan after leaving Alabasta. Rokushiki is easier to learn than Haki, but they also need time to master, and he's not mastered them yet.
He also have succeed to learn Seimei Kikan (Life Return), and it really help his metabolism. He have teach this skill to Vivi, but he didn't teach her the real Rokushiki. He teach her the altered ones, like the other ninjas. Seimei Kikan is not an obvious skill, so he can teach her that.
Time passed by, and Jon will leave Alabasta tomorrow for his next mission. The ninjas training also went well, and Jon leave all the manuals and books to Koza. He spend his last day there with Vivi. They have a date, because it will be a long time for them to meet again.
"Where will you go after this?"-Vivi
"East Blue, i will see Luffy's home ground. I can finally see the world outside of Grandline."-Jon
"Hmm, i also want to see the outside world."-Vivi
"Do you want to come with me?"-Jon smile softly
"I'd love to, but not now, i have things to do in here."-Vivi got a little sad
"Then don't say something that make you depressed. Beside, i go there to train, not for vacation."-Jon
"But East Blue is the weakest sea right? How can you train there?"-Vivi
"Vivi, are you forgetting the fact that Luffy, Zoro, Garp, Dragon, and even Roger come from that sea? Sometime, the real monster live in a calm water."-Jon smirk
"Hmm, you're right. Ah, speaking of Luffy, you two have a new bounty after the war. You never discuss this with me."-Vivi
"Why should i? I come here to meet you, not discussing a new bounty."-Jon
Jon & Luffy got a new bounty right after the war. Specifically after their come back to Marineford. The marines confirm that they're not dead, so Marines raise their bounty.
'Straw Hat' Monkey D. Luffy: 430 million
'Demon Eyes' Van D. Jono: 280 million
Both of their bounty raised 100 million each. Their damage to Impel Down are big, and their involvement in war are not small either. Also the revelation of Luffy's father raise their bounty. Both of them show Conqueror Haki too, and a relationship with Rayleigh. All of this make them dangerous and 100 million raise is not an exageration.
Jon actually got disappointed with the bounty raise. Luffy should get higher bounty as Dragon's son. Jon also can get higher bounty if WG & Marine knew that he was the broadcaster at that time.
Still, he know the reason their bounty didn't get higher is because of their strength at that time. If they're stronger, they will pose more danger to WG & Marine, so they can get higher bounty. With their low strength, even 100 million is high enough.
The next day, Jon leave Alubarna and move to Katorea. He bid farewell to everyone there and give his number. He has asked Dragon to give him white & black denden mushi. White denden mushi can secure his signal, while black denden mushi can be used to eavesdropping. With white denden mushi, he can call anyone without worry, so he just need one denden mushi now.
Jon hug Vivi and kiss her, before he left while riding a duck like Carue. He can go immediately to Nanohana without using Sandora river now. He won't ride Carue, because that duck have problem in it's head, so he better ride another duck.
Jon arrive in Nanohana after some 2 hours and he give the duck some treat before it go back to Alubarna. Jon then go to the port and find the ship that he will use. This ship is big, like a galleon, and have Dragon head figure. This is the RA's main ship, Wind Granma, which means that Dragon is here too.
Jon jump on the ship and being stopped by some people that startled by his entrance. They raise their weapons and surrounded Jon. Luckily they recognize him immediately and put down their weapons.
"Sigh, Jon-san, please don't startle us like that. We thought you're an enemy that want to slip in and attack us."-Man A
"Hahaha, sorry about that, i don't see anyone on the port, so i just jump in. The old man is here?"-Jon
"Yes, he is in captain room, i will guide you there."-Man B
Jon then go to the captain room and got inside. He see Dragon, Robin & some people there. He didn't see Sabo & Koala though, and assume they need to stay behind because Dragon leave.
"You've come. Terry, tell the crew to set sail, we can't stay longer or Marine will find us."-Dragon
"Yes"-Terry
"You can avoid Marine's tracking if you just use less eyecatching ship with eyecatching flag."-Jon sit on a sofa beside Robin
"Hiding the flag is the same with backing off and show that we're afraid."-Dragon
"Sigh, whatever, why should i tell you a basic stealth move when you won't even listen. Like father like son indeed."-Jon
"Ahahaha, they're actually similar aren't they?"-Robin
"Enough of that, how's your progress kid?"-Dragon
"Good, a vacation really boost my mind and i train with better efficiency now. I even teach some people and get epiphany many times. I found many mistake in my skills execution. Teaching is also learning, i guess that's a true statement."-Jon
"That's good, i will raise your training 3 times if you slack off, sigh."-Dragon sigh while closing his eyes
"Damn, you look disappointed old man. You just want to raise my training and see me suffer."-Jon
"Oioioi, don't badmouth me, i'm not my father."-Dragon
"You two are not that different to me, especially that Fist of Love."-Jon
"Whatever, here is your request, white and black denden mushi."-Dragon
Someone then take a box and place it in front of Jon. Jon open it and see a big white & plump denden mushi. There's also a very small black denden mushi that attached to a bracelet like a watch.
"These denden mushis are getting bigger each day."-Jon
"Well, they're living beings too."-Robin
"Ah, that's right, how's your training sis?"-Jon
"I focus on Shigan & Rankyaku like what you said. I can do it myself, but using my clones to do it is hard. I even try to train Haki, but it's very hard to do. So i will focus on training my devil fruit and Rokushiki."-Robin
"Ooh, that's actually a good progress. You're just not meant to be a fighter, and more of a thinker. It will be better for you to fight with your head rather than brute force."-Jon
"That's right."-Robin
"Kid!"-Dragon
"What is it?"-Jon
"You want to find a good swordsmith right? I have an acquintance in East Blue that can be said as top swordsmith, even in the world."-Dragon
"WHAT?! REALLY?"-Jon stand from his seat
