Chapter 179: 178. Saving Okobore
The Straw Hats are training for the final battle with Beasts & Big Mom Pirates. Altough Jon know they haven't officially made an alliance, but with Big Mom here, the Straw Hats will still clash with her.
The days went by, and 4 days after they start training, the yakuza leaders bring 200 more people. Now they have 5200 people, but still fall short to Beasts Pirate's 30,000 people. Then, there is Big Mom Pirates which altough not many in number, but have strong power.
It won't stop them though, as they'll still attack Onigashima. It's just a number, and number is not everything in a war. There are other factors like strategy, and preparation. Furthermore, the alliance also have many strong people.
"Don't worry about enemy's numbers! I can reduce them with one of my jutsu that i'll use as surprise attack in the beginning. That's why don't get too close with them, or you'll get attacked too."-Jon
"How many can you take?"-Inuarashi
"I can't estimate it, if the enemies are gathering in one place, then i can take out more."-Jon
"Will your attack kill them?"-Kawamatsu
"No, but it will render them immobile. Someone can take them to our side afterall, right?"-Jon smile
"Yes."-Tama
Jon plan to catch the Beasts Pirates, then Tama will tame them with her kibi dango. She has made many kibi dango each day to be used on their raid. Jon will help her by capturing the Beasts Pirates.
"Altough the one that will get captured are the weaker ones, but their number should be high."-Jon
"It's still better than fighting all 30,000 of them. There are around 5,000 devil fruit users too in there."-Raizo
"Hmm, we've take 100,000 pirates on Fishman Island, 30,000 is not a problem. This 200 million bounty pirate will take down many of them."-Usopp get cocky
"Ooh, as i thought of a God."-Jon clapping at Usopp
"Sigh, their power are far apart. This is a Yonkou Crew, not a small time pirates like them."-Sanji
"Their number is still lower, you can stay behind if you're afraid."-Zoro
"What'd you say, bastard?"-Sanji
The 2 have a brawl, and the others let them do it. They continue their planning & prepare everything they need. They can't fail in their first attempt, as it's their only chance to win this.
Jon keep training his new technique, but he didn't forget to train some of his jutsus too. He even train or make some new jutsus that can make him win. With Shadow & Wood Clones, training many things at once is easy for Jon.
Jon also find out in these few days, that Kaido & Big Mom have officially make an alliance. He tell the others and nothing change from their plan. They have anticipated this to happen since the beginning.
Days went by, and 2 days before the raid, Jon get an angering info. The Beasts Pirates want to catch a thief of a recent incident. The alliance have stolen some ingredients from the Paradise farm, and the Beasts Pirates blame it on Okobore Town denizens.
Jon grow angry as he was the one who steal those things. He don't like the idea of making innocent people get blamed for his action. Jon immediately set out to Okobore Town and hope to reach the place before Beasts Pirates arrive.
Jon run as fast as he can and he arrive just in time when the denizens say they are the thiefs to protect O-Tsuru. The Beasts Pirates grow enraged and their headliner, Holdem which survived even after almost get killed by Jon, order them to burn down the town.
"STOP RIGHT THERE YOU EVIL DOERS! Do you want me to cut that remaining hand of yours?"-Jon make a ridiculous hero pose
"!? IT'S YOU!"-Holdem
Jon stand on the roof while looking down on the enemies.
"I am the thief of Paradise Farm, these guys didn't have the ability to do that."-Jon
"!? Damn, you must be tired of living. Even if you can defeat me, Master Jack will not let this go."-Holdem
"It's the 2nd time you say that, and my answer remain the same. Just tell Jack to come here, he didn't worth a shit for me."-Jon
"How dare you- Mens, attack!"-Holdem
The Beasts Pirates attack, but instead of going for Jon, they go for the town's people. They know Jon try to protect these guys, so they'll use them get Jon. They know Jon can wipe them out, so they won't take him head on.
Jon just have a cold expression, he know they will sort to such dirty move. Jon then release his Conqueror haki and knock out all the Pleasures & Gifters. His Conqueror haki has grown stronger after he can manifest it on his body. Now, only Holdem is left here, and Jon didn't attack him.
"Tell Jack to come! I will show him that he's just a weakling that can only use poison to win against Neko & Inu."-Jon
"Ju-just wait! Ma-master J-Jack will put you in your pl-place."-Holdem
Holdem run off to his base and leave all these Gifters & Pleasures. Jon decide to round them up and ask Tama to tame them later.
"Thank you for standing up for us. But will you be alright angering all those strong figure?"-Tsuru
"Don't worry about me, i'm not a weakling that will run away just from Jack. Even Kaido won't be able to scare me. You guys need to leave this place before Jack come here! Our hiding place is rather far, so i'll let my clones make a hiding place for you."-Jon
"Yes, thank you very much."-Tsuru
"Kin'emon is very happy that you're fine, and he can't believe that you didn't remarry to protect yourself. I can't let him get sad before the raid happen right? He's the leader of the samurais, so his mental state is important."-Jon smile
Tsuru didn't say anything but Jon know she is happy. Then Jon send 4 clones to guard the people and create a hiding place. Jack will come here, and Jon know Jack can use a dirty trick like what he use on Zou.
Jon wait for sometime while meditating, and he create 2 other clones to meditate too. He gather Senjutsu chakra to be used later & make his jutsus stronger. Senjutsu is a great power, and he need to be able to use it in battle effectively. Now is a good chance to train it by fighting Jack.
Some hours later, Jack really come, and he bring many mens. Jon has no doubt that they'll attack the town's people. But Jon didn't see anything that resemble the poison tank or even the gas filter suits.
"It seem you are angry at my words, but that's true isn't it, Jack?"-Jon smirk
"Demon Eyes, as i thought it's you. After your captain create a trouble, now you follow his footstep. Don't worry, you'll follow him to Udon too."-Jack
Jon grin because the Beasts Pirates didn't know that Luffy has escaped Udon. All wardens & jailers there have been tamed by Tama, and didn't leak anything. So Jack also didn't know that Luffy has gone.
Jack order his mens to attack, and Jon just stay silent there. Suddenly red markings appear on his face, indicating he enter his sage mode. Then Jon stand up and make some hand seals.
"Senpo! Mokuton: Deep Forest Bloom!"-Jon
A lot of massive trees start to grow from the ground. Many Beasts pirates got caught by the trees branches and can't move. Then big flowers start to grow on the tree and they release their pollens.
The pollens create a thick yellow fog, and cover everyone's sight. These pollens can make the ones who inhale them fall unconscious. The only way to stay conscious is by not inhaling it or through sheer will.
Jon control the pollens to fall around the Beasts Pirates. Some of them already fall unconscious, while the others try to hold their breath. However, they can't escape because Jon also control the woods to catch them.
"YOU- you say that i'm a weakling to use poison gas, but now you use it yourself."-Jack is enraged
"Heeh, you really take that words to the heart. Who cares about such trickery, this is pirate world. Trickery & dirty tricks are everyday things for us, isn't it?"-Jon smirk
"!? You trap me?"-Jack
"And you fell for it, such a short tempered guy."-Jon grin widely
Jack can resist the pollens effect just from his sheer will. He also has strong devil fruit power to help him, but the others don't. All Jack's mens fall unconscious, and now it's just Jon & Jack.
"Senpo! Katon: Great Fire Destruction!"-Jon
Jon spew out a massive amount of flame from his mouth. It's a lot bigger than even Great Fire Annihilation, and it become stronger due to senjutsu chakra. Jon set the forest ablaze and burn every trees, so it also burnt the unconscious enemies.
Jack is running away from the fire and go out from the forest. He don't really care about his mens that trapped there. He thought that they're dead meat, but he's wrong.
Jon didn't kill the Beasts Pirates and hide them underground near the roots, as they're valuable resources. Tama can tame them and make them allies to attack Onigashima later. Altough it won't cover the number disadvantage, but it's a good additions to the alliance.
Jon let the forest burnt, and he approach Jack. Jon draw his ninjato swords and Jack also draw his Shotel swords. They clad their weapons with haki then move toward each other and clash.
Jon didn't use any technique except his haki & swordmanship. He didn't even coat his conqueror haki & just project his armament haki. Jon's swordmanship is not that high like Zoro, but it's enough to fight Jack. Jon can push Jack back, and sometime later, he cut Jack's swords in half.
However, Jack is still attacking Jon even with his shortened weapons. Jon grin and continue his fight with Jack. Jack now start to use his power advantage and dealing heavy attacks at Jon. He didn't use his swordmanship anymore and use his brute strength.
Jon didn't back down and use his chakra enhancement. Then Jon succeed to make Jack lose his weapons by breaking them into pieces. Now Jack won't be able to use his weapons anymore.
Jack finally transform into his mammoth form & attack Jon. Jon just grin and sheath his swords, then he cover his fists with haki. Jack rush to Jon and plan to use a headbutt attack.
Jon grin, he want to try his new technique on this mammoth. Jon cover his fist with conqueror haki and jump to Jack. He also flow fire chakra on his body to reinforce his power.
Jon's attack meet with Jack's headbutt but he didn't touch Jack at all. Jack seem to know the technique and widen his eyes. Jack got slammed to the ground and the impact create a big dent & crack on the earth.
"*GAHK* Y-You, this is..."-Jack spat some blood
"What's up? Never see someone else use it other than Kaido? Well, be glad that you see it from me now, cause you'll never have the chance to see it from somebody else."-Jon have a murderous expression
Jon start to attack Jack many times with his new technique. He didn't let Jack stand up or fight back at all. Just when Jon start to run out of haki, he change his strategy. He won't let Jack fight back because a Zoan users have immense physical power, including their healing ability.
Jon activate his mangekyou & create a full body armored susanoo. He dispelled his 2 clones and his susanoo now have red vines like marking around it's body. Red marks also appear on Jon's face, he use senjutsu chakra on his susanoo.
Jon use his susanoo to punch Jack multiple times without break. His susanoo has become a lot stronger due to senjutsu chakra fused on it. For his last attack, Jon use something different.
"Hasta la vista, baby!"-Jon
Jon create 5 Golden Yasaka Magatama and send them to cut Jack's 4 limbs and his head. Jon has kill Jack.
