"There's a top-tier swordsman in East Blue? You didn't lie to me, did you, old man?" - Jon

"Of course not. He was also the one who taught me about the advanced version of Armament Haki. You should know that he made some top grade swords in the past. But he won't make a sword just because you asked for it. You need to convince him to make a sword for you." - Dragon

"Hmm, I hope he wants a challenge with new material." - Jon

Jon was very excited now, as he had been looking for a good swordsman to make a sword. The plan was to customize Kusanagi with that customization card. Then he would make each other with metal chakra.

The chakra metal is lighter but much stronger than normal steel. Jon found no metal stronger than chakra metal except for the sea stones in this world. There was a metal called Liquor Iron, but he himself did not see it, so he did not know how powerful it was. In addition, it will still use the metal chakra even though the metal is better.

Metal chakra still praises his chakra flow better than anything else. Even a normal chakra blade with a small fraction of the metal chakra makes chakra flow better. Not to mention his pure blade was made of chakra metal.

Even so there are several levels in the chakra metal. What he gave the Amazon Lily girl was a normal grade. Because higher grades are more expensive and difficult to process. The toughness is almost the same, but the higher quality has better chakra flow. The girls did not use chakra and only needed violence, so it was okay.

In addition, the high grade chakra metal was very difficult to process, therefore Jon had yet to find a swordsman who could cultivate it. It would be easier if Jon mixed it with other metals like iron, but he wanted a pure chakra metal sword. When the Dragon said there was a top-tier swordsman, he was extremely excited.

Metal chakra needs to fuse with chakra as the sword is made to be more resilient. Usually, swordsmen use their chakra or the chakra of others, to make them more resilient and have better chakra flow. They blend it on a liquid form, to make the hard shape harder.

The higher quality of chakra makes the sword also more resilient. Jon has one of the best quality chakras to use, the nine-tailed chakra. But Kurama says that she needs to use her own chakra as well. Jon must use all the chakra affinities he has, and must use each of them the same amount. It's hard, but Kurama can help Jon, so there's no need to worry.

The ship sailed, and they left Alabasta for East Blue. They would sail through the Calm Belt, which is why the Dragon joined them. Even if they had a seastone coating on the bottom of their ship, it was no guarantee for their safety.

"O old man, if a ship does not have a layer of sea rock, how to go through a quiet belt?" - Jon

"Then they have to fight all those seals. They were lucky if some people were still alive after that." - Dragon

"Then how does a normal ship go to the blues from the grandline? There are a lot of boats going back and forth from Grandline to the blues right?" - Jon

"Well, they could climb the red line under Mary Geois if they were just dgang ships. They can use WG transport to climb the wall, but they need to change ships. The pirates could not use that access at all, they could only pass through the Calm Belt. So they

need a strong crew or try

minimizing seakings attacks. "- Dragon

"How?" - Jon

"By sailing very close to the Red Line, they can minimize Seaking attacks. Seaking is nowhere near the Red Line, so it's safer. Normally, they would also move along with the other crews to

strengthen their strength." - Dragon

Dragon also explained that not many pirates would come back sad after going to the Grandline if they did not have a strong crew. The shuttles from Grandline & Blues are merchants, Marines, or WGs. Marine & WG ships use more calm belts than red lines, because they are faster and do not require many procedures.

Jon & the Revolutionaries sailed for a few days before they reached the Calm Belt. They entered the Calm Belt and used the engine to run the ship. Jon continued to train on the ship while looking around for anything Seaking.

It had been 2 days since they sailed through the Calm Belt, and so far no Seaking had attacked them. But then in the afternoon, there were Seaking giants coming out and looking at their ship.he immediately tried to attack, and the Dragons wanted to fend it off.

"Wait, old man! I want to try to fight that thing." - Jon

Dragon lets Jon try, so Jon immediately jumps off the ship and runs on the water. He took out Kusanagi who still had her original appearance. He fused Kurama's chakra on Kusanagi and slashed it with both hands while extending out a sword.

*DESIR*

Jon grinds chakra like wind chakra, but Kurama chakra is hot, so steam starts to come out. The sword cut across the giant Seaking. It cuts off the head, but is then stopped by the bones in the body. However, with his head split into 2, Seaking was dead.

"Sigh, it still doesn't have enough power to cut all those monsters. Even with Kurama's chakra, his power is still not enough." - Jon

'You're still not good with kenjutsu and chakra. It would be better if you only use the wind chakra or the lightning chakra.' - Kurama

"Is that so?" - Jon

'Try it later if you meet other fish. Also, I want to try to fight one of those things.' - Kurama

"Sure." - Jon

Jon returned to the ship and they immediately left the place. The carcass will be fishing for more Seakings to come. The next day, they meet Seaking again, and Jon does what Kurama says. He uses wind chakra and cuts better than yesterday. In the afternoon, another Seaking appeared and Jon used a lightning chakra. The wind chakra gives better results, although it still cannot cut it clean.

They sailed unhindered after that until day 6. 2 Seakings appeared at the same time, and Kurama wanted to fight. So Jon called Kurama in giant form, surprising everyone there. Kurama doesn't care and goes to fight Seaking.

"What is it, son?" - Dragon

"The Nine-Tailed Fox." - Jon

"I can see it, I mean why did it suddenly appear? Is that your strength too?" - Dragon

"Well, he's a creature of himself. He is the real Nine-Tailed Fox, and he lives inside my body. I can get him out for some time before he has to come back." - Jon

"You never said this to us." - Robin

"Because I just got it. You know about the Mythical Zoan fruit, Inu Inu no Mi: the Nine Tails Fox model right? I got her in Impel Down and it materialized into a living giant within me. My chakra affects the fruit and changes it, but I doubt it will happen again." - Jon

Others were skeptical of Jon's explanation, but they had no other reason. Kurama asks Jon to leave, he wants to play with the Seakings now. So Jon & the others left, and they arrived at East Blue at noon. Kurama is also automatically called back to Jon's body after an hour.

They went to the residence of the swordsman, Shimotsuki Village. Jon & Robin are shocked, as they know Shimotsuki Village is the village of Zoro. He never said anything about the famous swordsman.

They arrive at Shimotsuki village, and go to a dojo. This is the Isshin dojo, they practice kendo, and this is the dojo where Zoro trains. Dragon meets a middle-aged, long-haired, bespectacled man, his name is Shimotsuki Koushiro. Then they leave and Dragon tells Jon to follow him.

"Hey old man Koushiro, are you Zoro's teacher?" - Jon

"Are you the one who taught him to use 3 swords as well?" - Jon

"Ahaha, no, that was his own way of using the sword. He used to think that the number of swords affected his strength." - Koushiro

"Hmm, so she was stupid since childhood. So where are we going?" - Jon

"To meet the swordsman, he is Koushiro's father, Kozaburo." - Dragon

Moments later, they arrive at a traditional Japanese house on a hill. There are many trees and bamboo around the house. Koushiro enters while Dragon & Jon wait outside.

Some time later, Koushiro returns with a wrinkled old man. She has spiky hair with a crest, and her hair is whitened. His nose was large and he looked to be in his 80s or 90s. Even so, he still appears healthy and strong for children his age.

"Dragon, you want me to make a sword? Don't you know I'm too old for this. Do you want to make me die sooner?" - Kozaburo

"Uncle, you still look strong enough for me, and it's not me who wants to make a sword, it's my disciple." - Dragon

"You took a student? How rarely do you take other students besides Sabo," Kozaburo looked at Jon from top to bottom, as if judging him.

"Oioi grandfather, don't look at me like that, you look creepy," - Jon backed off.

"Rude boy, I see, just like you. So, you want me to make a sword for you boy?" - Kozaburo

"Well, the Dragon old man said that you were the best blacksmith he knew, so yes, I want to ask you to make a sword for me." - Jon

"Why should I? I know the Dragon, but I don't know you, why should I make it for you?" - Kozaburo

"Did you just make a sword for your acquaintance? It's worth it that you look poor, not a good businessman, right?" - Jon has a judgmental expression while holding his chin, making Kozaburo have a tick, and other sweat droplets.

"So you don't want to make a sword huh? Then go!" - Kozaburo

"Hmm, so you're scared, old man? I have a metal you've never seen before. If you miss this opportunity then you will never see this metal again until you die. At most you will live for another decade right Then it will be your regret for a lifetime if you miss this opportunity," - Jon put on an arrogant expression.

"Metals I've never seen? Hahaha, don't underestimate me brat, I've seen more than you've ever seen during your live. I am a dedicated swordsman, and I have seen almost all metals for swords." - Kozaburo

"Almost right? Haven't seen it all," - Jon grinned.

"Tch, all right, let's make a deal, if you really have metal I've never seen, then I'll make the best sword I can make now, free." - Kozaburo

"All right, that's the deal." - Jon

Jon kmudian brought out the best quality chakra metal ingots. It is silvery white and very bright for an ingot of this size. Kozaburo looked at the metal rod and buried it. He kept checking the ingot, and even used his Haki on it.

"It is very light, but also very tough, tougher than most metals. But the best property is Ryuo flow on this metal, the flow is easier than any material I know." - Kozaburo

"Ryuu?" - Jon

"That's how people from my father's country

calling Haki. It's just different in

naming." - Koushiro

"Oh, okay. So how are you, old man?" - Jon grinned.

"What kind of sword do you want to make?" - Kozaburo

"Huh?" Jon

"Dad?" - Koushiro

"Quickly, what kind of sword?" - Kozaburo

"A-ah, a ninjato." - Jon

"Specifications?" - Kozaburo

"The sword is straight, and I want it to be longer

from a normal ninjato, because of my height.

I want to make the handle around

40 Cm, and the length of the sword is 60 cm, the width is 3

cm, and 3 mm thick. own design, so

can you make it like that?" - Jon

"That's a long ninjato and the handle is also long. Almost like a katana, but you're tall, so it suits you. I have no problem with your design. Just give it to me and I'll finish it in a week." - Kozaburo

"Geez, I need to help you when I make this sword." - Jon

"Huh? Don't demean me, bad boy!" - Kozaburo

Kozaburo was angry and looked at Jon with a fierce expression.
