Chapter 17: 17. Alubarna
After the discussion,Jon & Vivi decide to stay in Katorea before going to Alubarna tomorrow. Vivi went to sleep, but Jon have another agenda. He tell her and the rebels he will go outside the town to train, so he'll not disturb their sleep. He go a bit far from town and open the shop. He got some SP so he will buy some AOE ninjutsu. He plan to abuse his shadow clone tonight because he will face thousands of people at once. He still didn't have an AOE attack before, he's still need to train a lot of things that he didn't think about an AOE attack. Also he focused on mastering his Great Fireball jutsu because he want to learn a specific jutsu.
[Ding!
Purchasing
1. Doton: Swamp of The Underworld (A-rank)
2. Katon: Great Fire Annihilation (B-rank)
3. Suiton: Water Bullet (C-rank)
Total: 532 - 400= 132 SP]
That's right, he try to master Great Fireball because he want the Great Fire Annihilation. Even tough he don't understand why this jutsu is B-rank, but after some thinking he have a theory. It's because Madara use it that it became so powerful. Madara use it when he become edo tensei and have hashirama cell, his chakra reserve is very high. He also must have a high mastery over fire release so he can make it strong. He also thinks why no other people use this B-rank jutsu except Madara. Maybe it's lost when Madara 'killed' by Hashirama as he is the only one that can use it and didn't teach other people.
Jon is also think about the Swamp of The Underworld when he get his Earth Release. It's a strong jutsu for defend against multiple or a big enemy that used by Jiraiya to trap Orochimaru's snake summon. It's range depend on the amount of chakra used by user. He also decide to buy Water Bullet, it's a common jutsu but he want to have a water ninjutsu, maybe he will need it later. Then he buy some chakra pills to recover himself faster. He only have one night to train these jutsus.
He make just 5 shadow clones so they have higher chakta than 10 like usual. He can use 15 shadow clones without backlash now but their chakra is not much. So he tell 2 clones to train Swamp of The Underworld, 2 to train Water Bullet, while he and a clone train Great Fire Annihilation. He train some hours until midnight while resting sometimes. During his training, his clone that follow the crew dispelled so his memories and chakra back to him, making him recover a little. When he got that memories, he know that his clone that he send earlier has arrived so the older clone dispel. The crew are resting and they will reach Rainbase tomorrow. Also just like what he thought, Luffy agreed to his plan and tell him to beat up those Baroque Works guys.

He already guessed he will get a mission, but this reward is, WOW. He imagine how many points he will get after this mission ended, he strike it rich. But he's the most excited about Yin Seal: Release, it's a technique used by Tsunade to store chakra that're not being used daily and use it when needed. It can help him in a lot of situation, he can store unused chakra everyday on ship. He don't use that much chakra on ship because he use it for training only. But there's a problem,
'System, do i need to have that diamond mark on my forehead? I don't really want it there.'-Jon
[You can change it's location to anywhere you want for 100 SP]
'Geh, it's the same as B-rank ninjutsu, isn't it too expensive.'-Jon
[It's a high rank seal, so it's a fair price. You can always have it on your forehead if you want]
'.....This system is becoming shameless. Sigh, i will get lots of SP, so 100 SP is meager, yeah, i hope.'-Jon
Jon train till midnight, he can train longer by using chakra pills but it will have negative effect in his body. So he must rest to recover his chakra and stamina properly. He already make progress with the Great Fire Annihilation, at least he can cover 15 meters diameter, and reach 50 meters long. It's big but it can't cover the entire battlefield, but hey, it's a lot of progress in one night. His Swamp have become wide too, he can manipulate the length and width as he wants with max size of 100m2 and he can only make it 1m depth for now, but he can trap a lot of people using it. His Water bullet is half size his fireball technique now, but the power is far behind, he already train fireball for 2 years afterall. But he also know that his Water Bullet's power is lacking because he's on desert, even at night when there's some moisture, it's not strong, so it will be weaker at noon when it's hot & dry. He already planned how he will fight that many people so he will rest now. He go back to Katorea, eat lots of food and sleep.
The next morning, he and Vivi move toward Alubarna. He already prepare to run while carrying Vivi but Koza give them a boat. Jon think that Koza is playing with him, but Vivi look happy, making him confused. Apparently it's a Sand Sled, and basically it's a sled like boat that used on desert. It can move fast so they can reach Alubarna faster. Fortunately Vivi can ride it so he can relax and save his chakra.
They move toward Alubarna rather fast because the wind is strong. They chat on their way there, mainly about Alabasta. Vivi told Jon a lot of things about this Kingdom. Jon just listen to her and ask something that he's interested about, like their food. Jon also ask her if he can use Kingdom's library, of course he ask for public knowledge. Vivi just say she will ask her father later, but she will make sure he can. They keep chatting and finally they arrived at Alubarna.
In Alubarna they move stealthily to avoid the spies. They move toward the palace through back door. Vivi already make arrangement in her letter, so the guards at the back have been informed about Vivi's return and to keep quiet about it. After they come inside, the guards led Vivi & Jon to a small room. This room only has small round table with 5 chairs around it. It seems like a secret meeting room he saw in animes, but it's not dark, maybe because the meeting hasn't started yet.
Suddenly the door open and a middle aged man with two guards come in and locked the door. He look just like what Mr.2 change into, he is King Cobra. Jon laugh when he heard his name before, it's one of the most toxic snake on earth. He thought he look like a snake or something, like Orochimaru, but he look just like an ordinary old man. Vivi run and hug him, she must've really missed him. When they stop hugging, Jon stand up and walk to him.
"Oh, you must be Vivi's friend, thank you for helping my daughter, my name is--"-Cobra want to introduce himself but,
*BAM*
Jon punch his face, he just use a bit of his strength but it's enough to make the king's nose bleeding. The two guards want to pull their weapons but Jon hit them too. The punches aren't enough to knock them out but it's enough to hurt them a bit. Then Jon sit back, Vivi is surprised and just come back to her sense when Jon sit down.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING JON?!"-Vivi said with shark teeth while shaking his collar.
"Well, i just kinda want to punch him when i remember what you go trough. How can he let his daughter, the princess do that? And the two guards must be his accomplice. Haa, now i'm satisfied."-Jon
The King and his guards stunned hearing this, and can only smile wryly, because he is right, they deserve that punch. Vivi just let go of him and sit while sighing. Luffy punch her yesterday, now Jon punch his father, will the others also punch some general or minister later? But she smile lightly because he's doing it for her, even tough she is the one that go on her own, but she's still happy.
"Well young man.."-Cobra
"Jon. Van D. Jono, but my friends call me Jon."-Jon
"Well Jon-kun, thank you for earlier, it's a good punch."-Cobra said while smiling, making Jon backed away to the wall.
"I'm not into that stuff old man, just find someone other than me."-Jon
"Huh?"-Cobra and the other are confused, then they realised what he mean.
"NONONO, THAT'S NOT IT, I JUST FEEL LIKE I REALLY DESERVE IT, THAT'S ALL."-Cobra flustered
"I feel like i deserve it, but there's no one that have courage to blame me and punch me like you did. Even tough i know it's for the kingdom, but i feel guilty sending my daughter to do a dangerous mission."-Cobra
"Sigh, you're welcome, just be ready old man, there're still 6 people that might do what i did."-Jon said making Cobra shivered a bit
"Well, let's get to business, Vivi you can tell them about it now."-Jon
"Jon, i have thinking about this for a while but, you start to lose your polite attitude now."-Vivi
"Eh?! W-well, that's.."-Jon
"Staying with the crew really change you a bit huh? Even tough it's not that long, even Tony-kun start to open up."-Vivi
"Well, i'm a pirate now so i don't have to be that polite."-Jon turning his head away
Vivi giggling a little and start telling them every information she got, what she and the crew planning, the rebels, spies, Baroque Works, and Crocodile. The King digest the information for sometime and decide to act based on the information and plan. But first, they need to do some clean up, so they gather every soldiers in Alubarna to discover the spies.
After they all gathered, Jon start his action like before. Sometime later he finished cleaning up spies. It's easier than in rebel army, because the kingdom army is more trained and discipline, plus there's the king in front of them so they will not act impudent. Then the King command the army to prepare, so they can be ready anytime to fight.
Jon just stay outside on the clock tower rooftop to monitor the situation. He pose like Itachi before Uchiha massacre. Even tought no one saw him, he still feel he look cool inside. He look around to find a move from desert outside. Alubarna is surrounded by walls and it's build on a higher place than the surrounding. So he can see if there's a move on the desert. Sometime later he saw a big sled move toward Alubarna. He make a clone and it move to check the sled. When the clone dispel, he got to know that it's the rebels, so he go to inform the King.
They go toward the city gate and meet the rebels. They then move to the castle and plan strategies. Jon can't understand it at all, so he decide to leave. Just when he's about to step out, he got information from his clone that go with the crew. He's surprised when he got that information. He sort everything then told the others in the room.
"We got a serious situation."-Jon
