170 169. An Emperor
The next day after they left Totto Land, the Straw Hats enjoy their sail to Wano. While they're resting on the main deck, Luffy and Chopper find a raid suit that Niji left for Sanji. Jon, Luffy, & Chopper get excited about the raid suit, but Sanji is not.
The trio try to activate the suit, but it always failed. It must be designed solely for Sanji, so they plead to him to use it. However, Sanji refuse to use it as he hate the idea of using Germa's science. He even try to throw it away, but the trio can save it.
Suddenly, Nami take out a living cloud from her Clima Tact. It's Zeus that she has captured yesterday after she fed it. Nami has deemed Zeus as her slave & servant, make Sanji furious.
"OI ZEUS! JUST SO YOU KNOW, BEFORE YOU BECOME NAMI-SAN'S SLAVE, I HAVE BECOME HER SLAVE FIRST."-Sanji
"But i'm the one who always stay with Nami & she even feed me."-Zeus
"GAH!?"-Sanji slumped, defeated
Sanji get up again and continue his argument with the water vapour. The others ignore him and do what they want. Jon also think about his attempt to store Nature Chakra.
"Hmm, i need to make a new seal, because Yin Seal is designed to store someone's chakra. However, nature chakra need to be balanced with someone's chakra capacity. So if i want to store it, i need to balanced it with the chakra in Yin Seal. There's only one thing that i can think about to balance it with chakra stored in Yin Seal."-Jon
Jon scribe some words to make a new seal that he think is the answer. It might take some weeks or months to create a new seal. There will be trials and errors when he make the new seal. But if he succeed, then he will have more cards to rely on.
Sometime later, Carrot come down from the crow's nest. She bring a newspaper with her that have the incident on WCI as the main headline. It is a very big news that really shock the world, as the title is 'Birth of The 5th Emperor'.
The news tell about the Straw Hats feat on WCI. They have made many destruction and defeat a lot of Big Mom's children, even 2 Sweet Commanders and some older children. They also succeed to gain Fire Tank pirates trust. The news then tell that the war yesterday can be counted as Straw Hat pirate's victory.
It then revealed that Straw Hat pirate have 7 subordinates crew. With more than 5600 pirates under their command, it can be said that the have become a very big pirate crew rivalling an Emperor. Hence the news write that Straw Hat pirate can be considered as the 5th Emperor crew.
Just below the main headline is the 2nd big news. It's about Jon's identity as the pirate hunter Deadpool. He has duped the WG & Marine for 2 years and even get their money.
This really put shame on WG & Marine because they help a pirate, that's not even a Sichibukai. However, as a pirate hunter and someone from a crew that never cause civilian casualties, Jon get a lot of admirers, especially girls, which get a jealousy from Sanji. Jon didn't know if it's true or just an exaggeration from the news.
The news also reveal Jon's feat on the battle of WCI. Defeating Sweet Commander Cracker, defeating enraged army with Luffy, destroying Cake Plateau, defeating Oven's army, and destroy Smoothie's fleet. In total, he has defeated 36 Big Mom's children, 67 officers, 1683 pirates, and 10231 homies, a feat that no one has ever done.
"How did they get the numbers?"-Chopper
"They must have an insider, and she/he must have a rather high rank."-Jon
The journalists even write that Jon is the intel and strategyst of Straw Hats, that always think 3 steps ahead. With those achievement, Jon is deemed as the Most Dangerous Member of Straw Hat pirate, together with their captain. Now Jon really think that the news writer is exaggerating everything.
"You're very strong aren't you?"-Pekoms
"It's just numbers, and Big Mom can do it even easier. She can destroy her whole crew alone and in a short time. I merely use the right strategy, and they were underestimating me. I'm not even close to an Emperor level power, i still have a long way to go."-Jon
"But you're still very strong."-Carrot
"I still need to train harder."-Jon try to hold his smile
"Just smile if you're proud & happy with the compliment!"-Nami
Jon is holding his smile so hard that his expression look weird. This is the only news that compliment him and even his friends are praising him. He like to show off, and now he has done it to the whole world. It make him very happy & embarassed, that he start smiling & giggling while rolling on the grass & closing his face.
"Hehehehehehe, most dangerous member, those guys really know me well, hehehehe."-Jon
"Did he always act like this?"-Pedro
"It's the first time, but he always love to show off & being praised because of it."-Chopper
"Maybe it's because he has showed off to the whole world."-Nami
The minks are sweatdropping at Jon that act like a kid. This crew is the strangest crew that they've ever find.
"Hey, there are some bounty posters. It's for Luffy, Jon, & Sanji."-Carrot
"Really? Let me see!"-Sanji & Luffy
Sanji look at his bounty poster, and he's very happy to get 330 million. He ask Zoro's bounty and get happier because he surpass Zoro's bounty. But then he got depressed when he find his family's name on his bounty poster.
"So the raise is from Germa's bad name."-Sanji is weeping
"He go from happy to miserable in a moment. WAIT! THERE'S SOMEONE THAT BECOME A LOT MORE MISERABLE."-Brook
Luffy is weeping like he lost something that he really like. Brook ask him the problem, and he say that his bounty has dropped.
"*sniff* It has dropped to 150 million, look, even Jon has his bounty dropped to 140 million *sniff*"-Luffy
"WHAT?"-Jon
Jon bolted from his rolling position with a shockes face. He take his bounty poster from Luffy and really find it dropped, make him have a surprised pikachu face. Now he is weeping together with Luffy on the floor.
"How could that be? Did you guys do something bad?"-Brook
"Then the bounty will raise."-Carrot
"Ah, that's right."-Brook
"Isn't it good? Now the Marine won't chase us everytime."-Nami
"Nami-san, Luffy is our captain, and Jon is said to be the most dangerous member. If their bounties are too low, then our crew will be looked down."-Sanji
"DAMN, WHY?"-Luffy
"All that exaggerations on the news are just for publicity. DAMN NEWSPAPER!"-Jon
Jon & Luffy are weeping on the railing and looking at the sea. Sanji offer a meal, and they accept it. They need to eat and ease their mind with it.
"Wait a minute, a million, 10 million, 100 million, a-a-aAAahHH! YOUR BOUNTIES ARE 1,5 & 1,4 BILLION BERRI, YOU KNOW?"-Brook say with shaking legs
""Eh?.... EEEEHHHHHH??!"-All
Everyone have their mouth agape and eyes pop from their sockets. Billions bounty are a crazy amount, and something that they never consider to have so soon. Jon didn't check it properly because he had heard Luffy's count and believe it when he saw the front numbers.
(a.n: i still make Jon's bounty lower than Luffy because a captain is still the most dangerous person in a crew for the WG. It's because every members of a crew will listen to their captain commands, usually.)
Jon & Luffy now dancing together happily, and skipping around the ship. The others ignore them and think of the billions bounties consequences. It will certainly attract a lot of attention from every big forces out there.
"Don't think too much about it, if some big forces come, then leave it to this man with 1,4 billion berri bounty."-Jon say haughtily
"That's right, leave it to this 1,5 billion berri bounty too."-Luffy raise his hand
""HAHAHAHA, BILLION BOUNTY~ BILLION BOUNTY~""-Jon & Luffy continue their celebration
""Sigh""-Others
"As if we can leave it to you when you're like that."-Nami
"Jealous?"-Jon tilt his head
Nami get a tickmark, and she beat Jon & Luffy brutally. Their billion bounties didn't have any worth in front of her. The others are shivering at these billion bounties pirates getting pummeled by their own crewmates.
Jon & Luffy kneel on the side with their bruised & swollen face. They're being punished and forced to sit silently on the side. The others ignore them and continue to read the newspaper.
The newspaper also have some news about the levely. There are pictures if royalties from every kingdom & country. There's also some people they know in the news. Chopper cut Kureha's picture, and Sanji cut the princesses. Jon immediately bolt and take Vivi's picture from Sanji.
"You can take the rest, but Vivi's picture is mine."-Jon
"...Fine, i have Viola-chwan and Shirahoshi-chwan's picture afterall~"-Sanji is twirling
"Wait you guys, i haven't read the part that being cut off."-Nami
They didn't listen and just looking at their pictures. Jon immediately put the picture in his book. He has a thick book filled with his & Vivi's picture. Then he start to miss her, so he want to call her.
Jon take their denden mushi & call Koza. He know that some marines & Goverment agents are on the ship. So he need to call Koza first, because Koza's denden mushi is secured & he will always pick it himself.
\This is Koza.\-Koza
"This is boss."-Jon
\Boss? Ah, wait a minute!\-Koza
Koza take his denden mushi and go to a secured room.
\The line is secured now.\-Koza
"Alright, where are you right now?"-Jon
\We're near Water 7, some days more to reach Sabaody.\-Koza
Jon ask Koza about the situation first, and it seem they're doing fine. Koza have read the news about the Straw Hats this morning. Jon brag to him about it, then ask to call Vivi. Koza call Vivi & secure the room so no one can eavesdrop.
\Jon, i've read the news, you guys really make a very big news.\-Vivi
"Of course, i've told you about it right?"-Jon
\Yeah, but i never thought that you will fight against an Emperor.\-Vivi
"Yeah, an idiot was making a problem that we need to solve."-Jon
"Is that Vivi?"-Nami
"Yeah, she's going to attend the levely in Mary Geois."-Jon
They talk with Vivi for sometime, and they ask Vivi to befriend Shirahoshi & Rebecca. Jon also tell Vivi to tell her dad to make allies with other kingdom in Levely. He advice her to try allying with Ryugu Kingdom, Sakura Kingdom, Dressrosa, Prudence, and Happo Country.
All those kingdoms have connection with Straw Hat pirate. So it will be easy to become allies, and Jon also know that they're decent kingdoms. Lastly, Jon ask Vivi to be very careful in the Levely.
"Vivi, be careful on Levely, those Tenryubito scums might ask something bad."-Jon
\I know, i will be careful.\-Vivi
"#8, #9, you know what to do when something happen. There's no mercy for people who try to harm my princess."-Jon have a cold face
\\Copy that, boss!\\-Zetsu #8 & 9
\Jo-Jon, no need to be that extreme.\-Vivi
"No, it's needed."-Jon is serious
Vivi is silent, but she's happy to hear him care greatly about her safety. Jon also tell Koza to do anything necessary if something happen. They can think of the repercussion later, after they are safe.
Jon then tell Vivi to ask her dad to cancel his plan to ask the WG about poneglyph. Ohara is destroyed because of it, because it's a sensitive matter for WG. Furthermore, because it's about an ancient weapon.
Vivi say ok, and Jon just hope Cobra will follow his advice. Vivi then tell them something that really shock them. It's in the newspaper that they've just cut, so they don't read it.
'Kaido & Big Mom might Work Together.'
