But Kuma didn't stop there, he make another air bomb and now he make it faster. Jon shout with all he have and warn his friends. Then, Kuma release the bomb the second time and everything got destroyed. Jon is behind Kuma, so he is protected. But he's worried with everyone, and only can hope they are fine.
After sometime, the explosion stopped and Kuma want to move his legs from the ground. He planted it a little deep, so he need some effort to take it out. But then he got slashed on the other shoulder and kicked on his head. Zoro & Sanji still can move and immediately attack. Zoro's attack can slash Kuma's shoulder, but Sanji's kick hurt his leg instead of Kuma's head. Then both of them see that Kuma is a cyborg.
"Are you still alive?"-Zoro
"Yeah"-Jon answer weakly
Sanji's leg is still hurt but he move with one leg. They attack Kuma but Kuma easily repell them. All of Kuma's damage, be it from Jon or Zoro is because he's caught of guard. So he can repell them all the time if he keep concentrating.
After sometime, both of Sanji's leg are hurt because he kick a very strong metal. Zoro also seem to get hurt more, so their situation are very bad. Sanji can't move with his leg hurt and maybe fractured a little. So Zoro is the only one that can move and he direct the fight somewhere else.
Jon keep looking at the fight but Zoro didn't stand a chance at all. But then Zoro throw his swords and ask Kuma to spare everyone's life in exchange for his head. He said that he will be the strongest swordsman, so he will be very dangerous in the future.
Jon want to stop him but he can't move anymore, he can't even talk. Kuma's attack to Jon was not light, he's using full power in one attack. Jon was flung back and Kuma attack from behind, it's double damage.
Zoro then walk toward Jon and crouched down. Zoro apologize to Jon before he hit Jon's wound and make Jon passed out. Jon has forced himself to hold his consciousness with his injury and low energy, so he lost his consciousness instantly with small stimulation.
Sanji see this and also heard Zoro's words. So Sanji want to change place with Zoro, but again, Zoro hit his solar plexus and Sanji faint. Sanji also have many injury even before Kuma come, so now his injury is getting bigger. Because unlike Zoro that receive Kuma's attack with swords, Sanji receive it with his body, so he got more injury.
Kuma finally agree with unknown reason, he can just wipe them out now, but he choose to accept Zoro's proposal. He can even kill Jon before he attack the other, but he didn't do it. He seem to have another agenda.
Kuma agree to Zoro's proposal, but he have another way to do it. He won't kill Zoro directly, but he will give Zoro, hell. If Zoro survive then he will spare everyone's life, including Zoro. But if he fail, he will take everyone's life.
Zoro immediately agree because it's their only chance to survive now. Kuma then walk and take Luffy out from the Rubble. Then he put his palm on Luffy's body, and a big reddish baloon come out from Luffy's body.
"This is all of his damage in this fight with Moria. You keep fighting to protect him, so why don't you take over his pain?"-Kuma
Kuma then flicked a little part of the balloon to Zoro and Zoro feel it, pain. It's so painful even if it's only a little, because Luffy is actually took a big damage from his fight. He has fighting with Moria before getting the shadows, and having so many shadows in his body is also damaging it. His gear 2nd and 3rd hurt his body too.
Zoro steeled his heart, then ask Kuma to leave it there and he will prepare himself to take it at once. Kuma leave it a little far from the other and leave Zoro to do it. Kuma watch him from afar, and he see Zoro put both of his hands in the balloon. Zoro feel so much pain, like he got attacked with a very strong move at once.
Zoro's injury start to get big and all of his new wound opened and blood flowing from his body. He feel like being torn apart from inside, but he held and keep his consciousness. If he lose consciousness, he can die and his friends will die too, so he keep holding on even if it's painful.
Sometime later, everyone start to wake up one by one. They have lose consciousness when the air bomb explode and they got hit and burried under the rubble. When they wake up, they look around to see the devastation and search for their friends.
The Strawhats surprised seeing Luffy fine and didn't hurt at all. He's already panting hard and injured after the shadows come out from his body. But now, he's fine like he's not fighting at all.
Sanji also wake up and look around. He see Jon still unconscious, then he try to look for Zoro. He walk around and see Zoro's swords. He continue to walk until then he see Zoro and he is very shocked by what he see. Blood everywhere, and Zoro also full of blood. Sanji come close to Zoro and ask what happen?
"Nothing happens!"-Zoro
Zoro answer with firm tone before he finally lost consciousness. Sanji then bring him to the other and Chopper start to treat him. They also take Jon carefully as he is gravely injured too. Jon & Zoro stay unconscious for a long time, so the crew decide to have a party for their victory.
Brook play the piano and they all sing a Pirate song, Bink's Sake. Everyone sing, dance and eat to their hearts content. Brook also cry when he play the song, he remember his late crew and his promise to Laboon, that the Straw Hats encounter after they got down the Reverse Mountain.
Luffy told Brook about this and Brook cry happily knowing Laboon still waiting for him. Then he ask if he can join the Straw Hat crew, and Luffy immediately agree. This surprise the other a little at how easily he join. But they let it be and continue their party.
Some hours later, the party finished because the food has depleted. They decide to search for food, and Moria's victim that stay in this place for years also want to enjoy the sunlight that they couldn't feel for so long. At night, Zoro & Jon finally awake and then everyone got happy and party again.
Jon just sigh in relief seeing everything is fine and everyone safe. He look at Zoro and have a tickmark. He still remember the pain when Zoro hit his wound before. So Jon silently gather a little of his lightning chakra and shape it, then send it to Zoro. He didn't use hand seals for better control, so the power diminished a lot, but it still zap Zoro.
"BASTARD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"-Zoro
"IT'S ME THAT SHOULD ASK WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HITTING MY WOUND WHEN I CAN'T MOVE, IT'S DIRTY YOU BUSH HAIR."-Jon
"WHA- DAMMIT YOU FREAK EYES."-Zoro
They fight with insults on their bed because they can't move yet. Finally Nami come and touch their wound so they stop and wriggle from the pain. They stop and just stay silent on their bed.
Jon called Chopper and ask about their injury. Chopper explain their injury and what they need to do. Jon also inspect his body with his sharingan, it can be used as x-ray so he can see his internal organs. It's pretty messed up but it have started to heal. Chopper give them medicine and ask them to sleep again, so they close their eyes.
'System, there's no mission this time?'-Jon
[No host, system won't issue mission all the time so host won't do anything because of profit.]
'Oioioi, i will save my friends involuntarily and didn't need command. I just want to check if you want to give me some reward for my hardwork. I'm not working based on profit, even if it's mission, i will refuse if it's against my morals.'-Jon
[Good to know that. Host only get reward for defeating Sichibukai crew. But because you work with other people, you will not receive SP]
'Hmm? So what did i get?'
[Ding!
Host received: Item customization]
'Item customization?'-Jon
[Host can customize every item that host like to your preference. Can customize shape, colour, motif and outer appearance. Item properties will not change.]
'Ooh, it's good, i can make my unique item from another item that exist already. Maybe i can take design from another anime, film, games or anything beside Naruto for my design. There's only Naruto items in shop afterall.'-Jon
Jon decide to think about it later when he really want to do it and find something that he want. For now, he need to rest and recover to his best condition. He can't sleep after sleeping for hours, so he meditate and flow his chakra in his body to recover faster. It's a method he found since he train in Little Garden.
The next morning, Zoro can get up and walk, but Jon can't. Jon have many bones fracture, especially his back bones and ribs, and he need to rest a few more days. So he decide to just rest peacefully, but it seems to be impossible. The crew surround him, including their new member Brook. Sanji then ask him with upset face.
"Hey bastard, what do you mean Vivi-chan is your girlfriend?"-Sanji gritted his teeth
"Hmm? It means we're dating, you don't understand that? Dating, lovers, couple."-Jon
"I know that, but you sure you're not halucinating?"-Sanji have jealous look
Sanji still try to get away from reality and hope it's a a lie. But Jon didn't take shit, rice has become porridge, so might as well tell them the truth.
"No, even Nami, Zoro, and Robin know about this."-Jon
Sanji look at Nami and she nods, confirming Jon's word. Sanji immediately got depressed and sulk at the corner. The other just ask how it happen, but Luffy didn't understand anything they are talking about. So Jon told them the story, but just some gist of it. Sanji also hear this, then he suddenly shout that he didn't believe and want a proof.
"Then why don't we call her and ask about it?"-Jon
"Alright, Nami-san, please."-Sanji try to put up his hope
"Ah Nami, don't use her real name, i'm afraid Marines or World Goverment could hear us. Our transponders are not the secured ones."-Jon
"I know, we never talk with direct language you know. Vivi told me about this, it seem you told her and then she told me about this."-Nami
"Oh, that's good then."-Jon
Nami call Vivi and Sanji bite his collar and gritting his teeth.
"Hello?"-Vivi
"Ah, Tari, it's me, Mina."-Nami
"Oh, Mina, it's been a few weeks since you call. What happen?"-Vivi
While they talk a in phone, the other whisper in the back.
"Tari? Mina?"-Usopp
"I think Tari is from Nefertari, and Mina is Nami but backwards."-Jon
"Ooh, that's cool, maybe we should make one too?"-Luffy
"Really?"-Chopper
"Well, it's better if we have cool nicknames for ourselves."-Franky
"Let's talk about it later and hear the phone call first."-Jon
They hear at Nami and Vivi's conversation again.
"Ah, Tari, i'm sorry but, actually something happen and i need to use your name to help your boyfriend before. So now everyone know your relationship with him."-Nami said with apologetic tone
"EEEHHH?"-Vivi surprised
"That's why we call you because everyone want to know if it's true if you and... Joe is dating."-Nami
"Tari, i think it's time to tell them the truth. We can't always keep this as a secret."-Jon
"Joe... Alright. That's right everyone, we're dating right now."-Vivi
Sanji immediately faint while standing.
