22. Jon & Vivi

Jon calm himself and read the book quietly again after the old librarian stare dagger at him.

'Oh my god, that's embarassing, why should i say it out loud. I forgot there's that old bone here, he never say anything so i forgot about him. Damn, must be Madara's thing, i get his power so maybe i get some of his ambition too. Fuck you Madara!'-Jon

Jon curse Madara for his own stupidity. Actually he just want to make some villainous speech and he got carried away. Now he can only blame Madara for his power hungry ambition.

'Hmm, maybe i can use Eye of The Moon to those Tenryubito and make them my slav-, no, i mean make them have humanity, yes yes, humanity. Damn Black Zetsu for corrupting Madara.'-Jon

He put aside those useless thoughts and continue his reading. He know if he want to do anything freely he need strength, an unrivaled strength. So he need to know the world first through these books and plan his development from here on. He can't walk blindly and regret it later because he didn't learn anything. So he will learn what he can for now.

While his clones reading, Jon reflecting on his experience at this war. He's too hasty when he use those ninjutsu to defeat the enemies. If he cooperate with the army and cornering the enemies at one point, he can trap them all with Swamp of The Underworld because they're at one place. Then he can use less clones for Great Fire Annihilation, or can simply use paper bomb to save his chakra. If he can save his chakra, then he can fight Crocodile better and maybe injuring him.

'Sigh, i can't see the future, so i won't know that Crocodile has already defeating Luffy. I also not sure if cooperating with the army will make the enemies cornered. They can't even win before i intervened, so just because i join them doesn't mean we will corner the enemy. Well, at least i decrease the enemy, almost half of them.'-Jon

He can think of better approach now but he didn't know if it will work better than before. But now he can formulate more battle strategies that he can use for future. The library also have record and study about strategies that used in war. So he can learn from it.

'Now that i think about it, i recover from my guilt of killing people at war rather fast. Is it because i have Madara's power that make me more accepting toward killing? Sung Jin-Woo also kill some hunters before as self-defense. I have his appearance so maybe it's influencing me too? Or maybe because i already dead once so i don't react that much toward death?

Hmm, anyway i'm thankful for this. I know from reading those history books that death are common in war, and there's worse punishment than death, torture. Altough some people praised as hero after their death, but death is the end of it. Altough i get chance to live again, but who knows if this will happen again. Then there's only one solution, i must live. It's either them or me in war, so i will choose myself.'-Jon

Jon then also realised that he learn ninjutsu and taijutsu faster now than when he just cooped-up on Little Garden. Battle is really the best way to learn for a fighter, it give him pressure to grow. He also feel that he can do Great Fireball better than before at war. He want to test it but he can't so he just keep reflecting. His taijutsu also become refined after fighting that many people. He start to feel enjoyment in battle too. Altough he won't provoke people for battle, but he will accept their provocation sometimes.

He also know his weakness, chakra reserve. But now he have Yin Seal, and can store more chakra. He think about the diamond mark and think about where he will place it. Maybe he will ask someone later as he now think that the mark is actually rather cool, and when it activate it will be badass. He want to show-off and the only place where most people see someone is their face. He will ask the girls later as the boys are unreliable about fashion, just like him.

He stop his reflection and concentrated in his reading. He see that there're many more books that he need to read. He know that Luffy can wake up anytime and they will sail shortly after he woke up. So he brace himself and make more clones. Now he have 20 clones, surpassing his limit of 15 clones that can dispell without backlash. He even limitting himself to use only 10 clones as books have a lot of information.

He continue reading until evening and finally finished when the sky start to become dark. His nose and eyes are bleeding so he eat some pills to kill some pain and recover some blood loss and chakra. After he recover a bit, he go out while looking at the dumbfounded librarian that watch some very big stacks of books. The poor old librarian must arrange it himself later with his old bone.

Just when Jon got out of library, he get a notification.

[Ding!

Receiving massive flux of information. Suggesting for host to upgrade the System to version 2.0]

'Upgrade? I don't know you need upgrade. Why you need upgrade anyway?'-Jon

[After getting massive information about the world, the System get more reference and need higher specification for future usage and better information storing capability]

'Future usage? What do you mean information storing?'-Jon

[System need to assist host when it needed. With the host growth and awareness of the world, the System also need to grow to better assisting in the future, so there will be some feature upgrade.

Information storing is as it's name suggest, it help host in storing information and searching for it when host need it. The system will store, filter, and grouping the information and save it from being forgotten.]

'Hoo, it's nice. What feature upgrade will be after upgrading?'-Jon

[Upgrade features:

1. Upgrade inventory to 5000m3

2. Fuinjutsu will be available in shop

3. Hidden Missions unlocked

4. Recalculation of World power ranks

5. 5x information storing and calculating ability

6. Basic Appraisal]

'I thought it will be more, but it's good. What do you mean power recalculation?'-Jon

[The previous calculations are based on basic knowledge from GOD and stories from Giants which is more than 100 years old information. By getting information from new books that host read, System is able to calculate the world power rank. Altough host find 'Doriki' scale, the system didn't get much information and can't use it, so there will be simpler calculation for host.]

'Alright then, upgrade the System'-Jon

[Upgrading System

Cost 100 SP

Proceed?]

'What? I have to pay? I thought it's free'

[If it's free the system will upgrade without asking host]

'Fuck, it become completely shameless now. Fine, proceed'

[Upgrade proceed

Upgrade time: 12 hours

System rebooting.....1%...]

'Sigh, it's long, guess i'll go to my room and sleep'-Jon

Jon walk to his room while waiting for system upgrade to finished. When he walk in corridor, he met Vivi that sit on the window frame while looking at the night sky. She look really beautiful he thought.

"*Cough cough* What are you doing Vivi?"-Jon

"Oh, Jon. I just thinking about this last few days with you guys"-Vivi

"Ooh, so what do you think?"-Jon said while leaning on the window, looking outside too.

"It's so much fun with you guys, there's never a dull moment and we have a lot of nice experience."-Vivi

"That's good that you're having fun and not getting stressed out with us"-Jon

"Hihihi, altough you're such a handfull guys to handle, but it's really fun and exciting."-Vivi

"Wait, are you including me? I'm not handfull."-Jon refute this statement

"Really? But you always messing around with Luffy-san and Usopp-san. Now you even make Tony-kun join your mess. I can't remember how much you guys got scolded by Sanji-san because you play with food. You're such a polite and quiet guy before, but now you become like Luffy-san."-Vivi

Vivi put her finger on her chin while remembering Jon's behaviour. Jon sweating hard hearing this. Now that he think about it, he has so much fun while joining Luffy messing around on the ship that his childish nature come back again. He like it, but he become embarassed when other people tell him about it.

"W-w-well, i need to be more open up right? Yeah that's right, i just want to be more sociable and close to the other. There's nothing wrong, that's right"-Jon

"Hihihi, i never say it's wrong. It means that you can read situations and judge properly. Having fun when it's relaxed time, serious when it's needed, and you think ahead of others, no one think of gathering information on Nanohana like you did. Also thanks to you the war can be prevented. Ah, i must thank you for before, you ask me to go to castle because you don't want me to see the massacre right? Thank you Jon"-Vivi

"H-heeeh, you're really observant Vivi, you're welcome"-Jon

Jon said that while looking away and has a red color on his face. He never thought someone has observing him and tell it to him like this. He feel like an open book now.

"Hihihi, you're still a shy guy huh. I really like this side of you."-Vivi

There's silent that happen between them for sometime, until Jon turn his head back to look at Vivi.

"What?!"-Jon

Now Vivi also realized what she said before and her face also become red.

"T-th-that's not w-what i m-mean, i mean i like you. Eh!? No, i-i mean that, you know, y-your shy nature i-is good too, t-that's what i mean."-Vivi

They look away from each other with red face. They have their own thought right now.

'W-what are you doing Vivi, now you make the situation awkward'-Vivi

'C-calm down me, maybe Vivi just want to praise me and say that, that must be it'-Jon

'W-what should i do now? I'm actually interested in him, i like his personality, but i don't know if he thinks like that too. Oh no, now he will think i make fun of him and he will hate me.'-Vivi

'W-wait, maybe it's also my chance to know if Vivi has a feeling for me. I never had a girlfriend before, but my friends always tell me that i need to be brave as a man and take all chances. But how i'll do it?'-Jon

'I need to say something and erased this awkward situation, okay let's say something else to change the topic'-Vivi

'Ah, fuck it, i'll just ask about it, it can be a long time until we meet again. I need to be brave, i'm the God of Shinobi Jon, for fucks sake. A man among man'-Jon

""Ee..""-Jon & Vivi

""Ah, you first""-Jon & Vivi

They silent for a while then Jon saw someone walking toward them and he didn't want anyone disturbing them now.

"He-hey Vivi, wanna get out for a while? I have something to show you, and we can breath some fresh air."-Jon

"A-alright"-Vivi

"Get ready then!"-Jon

Jon then hold Vivi with a princess carry. He jump from roof to roof while the wind brush past them. They jump around the castle then move on top of Clock Tower and look around a bit.

"Is this what you want to show me?"-Vivi

"Hehe, no, i just want you to look at this place before we run really fast somewhere."-Jon

"Run fast?"-Vivi

"Hold tight!"-Jo

"Kyaaa"-Vivi

Jon jump down from the Clock Tower and rund on the roofs toward the city wall. Then he jump down the wall and run on the desert. Using his chakra, he can run on the sand like on the normal ground. They move fast and Vivi enjoy this experience.

"Hihihi, i feel like a princess running away from her marriage with her knight."-Vivi

"You're really a princess you know, altough i'm not a knight but a pirate. So it's more like a pirate kidnapp the princess. Hahaha"-Jon

"Then shouldn't you put me inside a sack or tie me and close my mouth?"-Vivi

"HAHAHAHA"-Jon&Vivi

They both laugh and forgot the awkward situation inside the castle before. They chat a bit like usual, they didn't realise that they have became closer after Nanohana. The both of them always together since they go to stop the rebels together until the war break and Jon even punch the King and he prioritized saving Vivi. Even tough the King should be the most important for the kingdom, but for him, Vivi is more important. He always stay beside Vivi since they go to rebel army until the war. He's unconsciously think that Vivi is the most important and he need to prioritize her.

"We've arrived"-Jon

"Rainbase? Why'd you want to go here?"-Vivi

"I have something here and i almost forgot about it. Let's go!"-Jon
