103. Sabo
"Is this guy have trouble in his head? Or he's mentally retarded?"-Jon
"No, it's not like that, he's really Luffy-kun brother like Ace."-Koala
"Koala, you don't need to cover for him. Just tell me the truth, he must be sick in his mind right? He's a pitiful guy, so i will help him by acting oblivious, i just need an honest answer now."-Jon
"We-well, that's..."-Koala
"It's okay Koala, let's just tell him the truth."-Sabo have some tickmark on his face and his lips are twitching.
Koala then tell Jon that Sabo had lost his memory in the past. But a few days ago, his memory come back. It's when he knew the news about Ace's death. He remember that he is Ace & Luffy's brother. He got into an accident in the past that make him lost his memory. Dragon save him, and he join the Revolutionaries.
"Hmm, if you're really Luffy's brother, then i will ask you a question. How did Luffy got his straw hat?"-Jon
"Heeh, it's easy, Shanks gave it to him. Shanks save him from a Seaking when he was thrown to the sea by a bandit. Shanks lost his left hand, then give the hat to Luffy. How is it?"-Sabo
"Oh, then how did he got his devil fruit?"-Jon
"He take it from a box that Akagami Pirate brought. I even knew that Luffy got that scar under his left eye because he stab it with a knife to prove that he us brave enough to be a pirate and join Shanks."-Sabo
"Ooh, it seems you're really their brother. I don't know that they have another brother."-Jon
"Well, they must've thought that i have died in the past."-Sabo
Then Sabo tell Jon his story with Ace and Luffy in their childhood. Jon just listen to make sure that he is really their brother. Jon won't believe it that easily altough he can answer the qiestion that not many people know. But after hearing Sabo's story, Jon is convinced now. He also remember Ace mention Sabo's name when he's about to die.
"It must be frustating right? Can't even help your brother when he's dying. But you still have Luffy, it's your job now as an elder brother to take care of him. Ace has gone, so it's only you now."-Jon
"I know, even if it's hard to move on from this, but i need to move on. How is Luffy?"-Sabo
"He is fine now, someone will take care of him. It was very hard for him after he saw Ace died, but he can overcome it now, he know he still have people that he loves & loves him back."-Jon
"That's great, i'm very worried about him. Even if i saw him from the news, but hearing it from someone that stay with him is more assuring."-Sabo
Sabo & Koala then show Jon his room and they also give a map of this building, so he will be able to move alone. They also give him new denden mushi, because he lost the one they gave before. Seeing a denden mushi remind him that he hasn't call Vivi for more than a week. So after Koala & Sabo left, he call Vivi with his new denden mushi that have secure line.
*purupurupuru* *kacha*
"Hello?"-Vivi
"Good afternoon my princess."-Jon
"Jet?"-Vivi
"Who else, Aqua?"-Jon
"I'm glad that you're fine, i'm very worried because you haven't called me since the last time. If you didn't show up in that place again and get in the news, i will thought that you... *sniff* you..."-Vivi
"Don't worry princess, i'm fine now. That's why i showed up in that place again."-Jon
"That's good then. By the way, why did you guys come back there?"-Vivi
"To send a message, that we will rest for sometime."-Jon
"Rest?"-Vivi
"Yeah, to hone our skills, because the next stage will not be that easy, and our skills now aren't sufficient. That's why i will try to find some break later and we can meet again."-Jon
"REALLY?"-Vivi become happy
"Yeah, i promise, maybe in a few months after everything get calm again. The situations aren't good right now, so we must be carefull."-Jon
"I understand."-Vivi become dejected, she want to meet him sooner.
"Don't be sad, i promise i will stay a little longer later."-Jon
"Alright then."-Vivi
They talk for a long time, until the night come and someone call Jon to join the dinner. Vivi also called for dinner by the servant, so they end their call. Talking to Vivi really ease Jon's mind a lot. He feel very lucky to have her, she will always support him and worried about him. It's different from how his mother worried about him, and it feel nice.
Jon join the dinner and he sit beside Koala & Sabo, which is beside Dragon. Everyone look at him and some people seem to recognize him. But they wondered why he sit in the front seat, so Dragon introduce Jon to them.
"Alright everyone, some of you might know him already, but some maybe not. I will introduce him to you, he is 'Demon Eyes' Van D. Jon from Straw Hat pirate crew. Yes, he is from my son's crew, and he has unique skills that will help us. He will train under me for sometime before he will take task with Sabo."-Dragon
The revolutionaries whisper among themselves. Mainly the oblivious ones asking the ones that know Jon. But Dragon is not finished yet.
"Maybe no one know this but, he is the one that make those narrations at war."-Dragon smirk.
Everyone are surprised and creating ruckus now. Sabo & Koala also seem very surprised by this. But the most surprised here is Jon, because no one would know if that is him. How could Dragon find out?
"You must be wondering how could i know right, kid?"-Dragon
'What? Did he read my mind?'-Jon
"Before you ask if i read your mind, let me explain it to you. I was testing your skills today, and you use many things in your arsenal. You can make clones and transform them right? The ones that take the camera denden mushi must be your transformed clones."-Dragon
"That's not enough proof to accuse me old man"-Jon
"Of course, but the most obviois proof is your accent & tone. Everyone have their own accent and tone, and yours is even more unique. So, how is it, kid?"-Dragon smirk widely
'Tch, must be because i'm not a Japanese in my past life, so my Japanese accent is strange for them.'-Jon
Jon just sigh and nod, this make everyone widen their eyes. Then everyone cheer and thank Jon because he helped them a lot. Jon stop them and say that he just want to bought time for Ace's execution schedule, but it failed because of a shitty Tenryubito that want to watch people killing each other in a war.
"CALM DOWN! I have another important information, and this is more so for you, kid."-Dragon
"Important for you guys, but more important for me?"-Jon raised an eyebrow
"Yeah, Nico Robin will arrive here in a few days."-Dragon
The revolutionaries cheer again and now they are in a festive mood. The dinner become rowdy, altough not as rowdy as the Straw Hat's. Jon ask Dragon about Robin, and it seem she was being found by Revolutionaries that are freeing slaves in a Tenryubito's bridge ptoject. She is saved by them after being forced to labor for a few days.
"Tsk, those fuckers again, just hearing their name make my ears hurt. Thank you for saving Robin, i know she can take care of herself, but it will not be so easy."-Jon
"Don't worry about it, we also try to find her for a few years, but never succeed. She can be a very important figure in our plan."-Dragon
"Because she can read poneglyph?"-Jon
"Yeah, the goverment fear her knowledge like she is some kind of demon, but she is like an angel for us."-Dragon
"Old man, i don't have any problem if you want to ask for her help, but let me warn you first. If you force Robin to help you when she don't want to, i will destroy everything you have. I don't care if you're Luffy's dad, no one can mess with my family."-Jon
Jon said that with his killing intent, his will has been tempered by many fights and war. Now he have a strong killing intent, and an unknown pressure that make everyone in dining hall feel cold. Sabo wide his eyes and protect Koala on his back.
Dragon widen his eyes a little, but then he smirk and release his own pressure. Spark formed in mid air between them, and it's like wind has generate in the room.
"I know kid, don't worry about it, now stop your intent or you will make people faint."-Dragon
Jon stop and look around, he is confused why almost everyone look so pale and breathing hard. He pointed his killing intent to Dragon, so they shouldn't be affected. He think that maybe his intent is leaking and affecting them, he is still inexperienced with this.
"Kid, why'd you look confused?"-Dragon
"Well, i just point my killing intent to you so i can threaten you a bit. I know it will not be enough to scare you, but why are these people look so pale?"-Jon
"Hmm? So you don't know what you're doing just now?"-Sabo
"I won't ask if i know."-Jon
"I will tell you tomorrow when you train, now let's eat! The meals will become cold if you don't eat it soon."-Dragon
"Alright."-Jon
'How can we eat after something like that happen?'-Everyone else.
Jon raise his eyebrow seeing everyone stop eating. So he get up and force them to eat with his hands. Then he also force them to drink booze and joke with them. Soon, the dining hall become very lively with party atmosphere. There's no way Jon can stand a quiet meals, he's a Straw Hat afterall.
"Come on, eat your meals, drink your booze! You guys are too stiff. Enjoy your life! Hahaha"-Jon
"I-it's okay, we have works to do tonight."-Man A
"Huh? Work?"-Jon have disgusted face
"HE LOOK SO DISGUSTED!"-Everyone
"Do your work tomorrow! Your brain will work better at morning. Working all the time will not make it more efficient, come on drink!"-Jon
"W-we can't."-Man B
"Huh? Fine then, i will make you drink then."-Jon
They have many works to do tonight, and they shouldn't drink too much. So Jon force them to drink and they finally loosen up. Dragon see this and just smile, he didn't stop them because he know his mens are in a lot of pressure lately, and they need to loosen up. Beside, he also want to drink after a long time.
"YOU GUYS, YOU STILL HAVE MANY WORKS TONIGHT, DON'T DRINK TOO MUCH!"-Koala
"Come on Koala, just let them take out some steam. Too much works are not good for your body. You must enjoy this chance too, even your supreme leader and staff head are having some fun."-Jon
Koala look at Dragon & Sabo that are drinking with some people too. Jon approach Koala and offer a glass to her. Koala want to refuse, but seeing everyone here, she finally give up and take the glass. They sing some song and have a merry party.
"HAHAHA, LET'S CELEBRATE FOR MY RECOVERY AND BECOME A TEMPORARY MEMBER OF REVOLUTIONARY ARMY!"-Jon stand on a table.
"HEY, YOU SHOULDN'T SAY YOUR CELEBRATION YOURSELF!'-Man C
"SHUT UP! YOU WON'T EVEN MAKE A PARTY IF I'M NOT HERE. NOW, LET'S CHEERS!"-Jon
"CHEERS!"-Everyone
They partying for the whole night, and become wasted the next day, but they feel a lot of burden being lifted from their shoulder.
