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

"No, it's just that this metal needs special energy to fuse at its melting stage. Only I can give this energy, only at the melting stage, and the rest I will leave it to you." - Jon

Kozaburo sees Jon's serious face and his ending allows him. Then she goes to her workshop far behind the house, and only Jon can follow her. Dragon & Koushiro can't follow him, so they just go to the Dojo again.

Jon arrives at Kozaburo's workshop, and he sees a lot of blacksmith tools that he only sees on TV or Youtube. Kozaburo prepares his equipment and instructs Jon to help with his preparations. Then Kozaburo changed his clothes to work clothes, and Jon also changed his clothes with a comfortable one.

"Do they need to be melted down?" - Kozaburo

"Not really, but from what I know, his energy can only fuse at the melting stage. With an energy fuse, metal can be tougher and more suitable for my strength." - Jon

"Your powers? Does this metal complement your strength?" - Kozaburo

"Yes, the power of shah is chakra, and this is the metal of chakra. You should have realized from its name that this metal supports my chakra power." - Jon

"So by blending it in liquid form, you make the metal better match your chakra?" - Kozaburo

"That's right." - Jon

They lit the furnace and put the ingots inside the stone bowl. It took an hour for the metal to melt at a temperature of about 2,500 degrees Celsius. These are higher than normal irons, and they even need to wear sunglasses because they are too bright for their eyes.

Jon immediately fused the molten metal with chakra. He uses his chakra and Kurama chakra for it. Like Kurama's instructions, he used all of his affinity on the sword, including Yin & Yang. Jon tries to control his chakra output to be balanced among all affinities. Kurama also does the same and he helps Jon control the output of chakra. He's made of chakra, so his chakra sense is topnotch.

From the outside will look rainbow-colored energy surrounded by orange energy flow from Jon's hand. White & black is the Yin & Yang chakra, and is placed in the middle. They were surrounded by a white wind chakra, red flames, brown land, blue water, and purple lightning. Each is surrounded by an orange chakra from Kurama.

As Jon blends metal with his chakra and Kurama, the metal also seems to absorb their chakra quickly. Even Jon's mid-kage level chakra isn't enough. He needed to use the Yin Seal to give more chakra. Fortunately it stopped after taking half of the chakra it stored. It's not much for Kurama, but for Jon.

"Damn, this metal is very greedy." - Jon

'Usually don't absorb this much. Maybe because it absorbed my chakra as well, so wanted more. But that sword will be stronger than any sword of the metal chakra out there. It could be said to be made of chakraku, the best material.' - Kurama

'But I can die if I don't have a mid-kage chakra or a Yin Seal. Luckily we just made it, or I'm gonna really die.' - Jon

"You okay, bad boy?" - Kozaburo

"Yes, you can put it in now old man." - Jon

Kozaburo took out a stone bowl and poured molten metal into the mold. He only used ingot prints instead of sword prints with sword shapes. He said that he would forge the sword instead of throwing it. He only allowed the smelting process to allow Jon to fuse the chakra to the metal.

"Why do you need to fake it? Wouldn't it be faster if you just made a mold and threw it?" - Jon

"I never threw my sword, I just threw the scrap metal to put it together. Forging is the art of making my sword, and I will always do it. Believe me, I will make the best sword for you." - Kozaburo

"All right, all right, you're the boss. So, how long does it take?" - Jon

"2 weeks, no, come here in 3 weeks. I'm old, so I'm not as fast as when I was young. I also have to be careful with this material. This may be my last sword, so I will give it my all, you need not worry." - Kozaburo

Jon sees Kozaburo, and the grandfather looks very happy. Jon just smiled and left the workshop, his role was over. He would leave the happy grandfather alone to do what he wanted. Someone had always been happy to do what he liked, and the old geezer must have been very fond of forging swords.

Jon was just about to leave the workshop, when a grandmother stopped him. Grandma had white hair and used a cane to walk. He wore a traditional kimono and carried a box tied with cloth.

"Young man, I'm Tsuki, Kozaburo's wife, do you want to have lunch with me?" - Tsuki

"Sure, but isn't that the lunchbox for grandpa?" - Jon

"Ahaha, I'll just leave it here, he won't eat if he's too excited like that. At least he'll find this box when he's hungry. We can eat at my house, there's something I want to talk about." - Tsuki

"All right." - Jon

Jon follows Tsuki to his home after he puts the lunchbox inside the workshop. As they arrive home, Jon follows Tsuki to the dining room. Then a waiter brought food and tea inside. The waiter left and they started eating his food.

"I want to thank you for today. It has been a long time since my husband has been so happy." - Tsuki

"I don't plan on making him happy, but it's nice to know that he can be happy after all this time." - Jon

"He began to lose his happiness after our granddaughter Kuina died in her childhood. He & Koushiro don't really show it, but they are very sad about it. She could relieve some of her pain from that green-haired child, Zoro who always reminded her of Kuina." - Tsuki

"Grandma, do you know Zoro?" - Jon

"Yes, he's a cute kid who uses 3 swords and bites one of them, hahaha." - Tsuki

It seems that Tsuki has regarded Zoro as a grandchild or she is just grateful that Zoro made Kuina live in a certain sense. Jon knows the story of Zoro's childhood and his promise to Kuina. That was what made him want to become the strongest swordsman.

"Actually he lost his sword at Enies Lobby, a sword named at the time. Good thing it wasn't Wado Ichimonji, it was full of memories for him and you right?" - Jon

"The Ichimonji Wado, is one of my husband's creations." - Tsuki

"Unbelievably, he made one of the 21 Great Class Swords." - Jon

"Yes, that's one of his masterpieces. You can even hope that your sword has the same value as Wado Ichimonji given his mood." - Tsuki

"It would be perfect, if the sword could be as strong as 21 Great Class Swords, then it would be the perfect companion for Kusanagi." - Jon

"Oh, do you also have a good quality sword?" - Tsuki

"Yes, but it's not a Famous Sword, so not many people know about it." - Jon

After talking for some time with Tsuki, Jon returns to the dojo. He met Dragon and the others there, loading up on supplies. Jon then tells Dragon what happened earlier with Kozaburo's old grandfather.

The dragon then tells Jon that they are going for their next mission. He can return here in 3 weeks, with the help of the Eastern Army. They will be moving to the Eastern Army base for now. Jon already knows all the Army Chiefs in RA, but

he never met them except

Ivanko.

"So what's the mission? Will Robin join me in this mission?" - Jon

"No, he's got a different job, you're moving out on your own. I will assign the Eastern Army to help you if you need it, but you must do it yourself if you can." - Dragon

"Oh, okay. So, the mission?" - Jon

"I want you to destroy Tequila Wolf, alone." - Dragon

"The big bridge? Why do you want to destroy it?" - Jon

"To warn the World Nobles that we can destroy what they have built. It would also ease the pain of the slaves who had been forced to work there." - Dragon

Jon just sighed, and took this as his practice. He doesn't particularly like missions to use violence and destroy structures. He prefers to fight others and gain experience from them. Destroying a large bridge could help him train his firepower, but that was not his favorite.

A few hours later, they arrived at an Eastern Army base that looked like an ordinary village. Then they met the commander there, Belo Betty. She's a rude woman who always says harsh words. But Jon didn't feel he was insulting anyone, he was just rude to his words, that's all.

They rest there for one night, and the next day, they leave and Jon is left there. Then Jon follows the East Army ship and moves to Tequila Wolf. When they got there, he was amazed by the size of the bridge alone. But he knew it was made by the sweat & blood of slaves.

"This is my number, trash. Call me if you need anything, then I'll send some trash to come here." - Betty

"Sure, thank you so much old lady, see you later." - Jon

"HAG?!" - Revolutionary

The revolutionaries were terrified, and saw Betty and then Jon. But Jon was already running very fast on the water and climbing the bridge. Jon knew Betty wasn't a bad person, but her words still hurt. So he wanted revenge, but he didn't dare stay any longer, or he was going to kill him.

Betty just grinned and she ordered the soldiers to return to their base, leaving Jon alone. Jon saw them off and felt relieved, he still wanted to live again. Then Jon looks around the bridge, and it's still empty after the last attack by RA who accidentally saved Robin.

"Hmm, how should I destroy this place?" - Jon

'Use it to train your affinity, especially water & earth to get that wood kekkei genkai. I'll help you with chakra, so don't worry.' - Kurama

"Ooh, thanks for that. I guess I will use it on my sword and practice my sword arts & haki as well." - Jon

Jon then did as Kurama said, he made 6 clones and they took distance from each other. The main body will try to use the water chakra, while the clones will use other chakra transformations, including Yin & Yang. They all used two wooden ninjato and covered them with haki. Jon could now cover his sword with haki, but he couldn't do it for long, so this would be his practice as well.

"Using a wooden sword and covering it with haki & chakra can help me master them faster. If I always use a sword with chakra-supporting materials, then it will be easier but my progress will be slower. People grow out of trouble." - Jon

Initially Jon practiced using chakra blades that only had a portion of the metal chakra. There were no problems at first, but then the progress began to stall at 70% chakra mastery. He tried to use the wooden sword and it was difficult, but he advanced again.

At first, the wooden sword was destroyed by the force of his attack. So he needed to coat it with haki to make it harder. Now when his chakra mastery exceeds 80%, his chakra will cut off the target without damaging the wood.

But he still used haki to train her, and made her raise her haki using time. Haki is actually like chakra, it has the capacity and can be depleted. Increasing Haki's capacity is also the same as chakra, he has to drain it in order to develop.

But even if it uses spiritual energy like chakra, Jon is unable to take energy from his chakra. They mysteriously seem to have different sources. Slowly, Jon destroys the bridge using his wooden sword, chakra transformation flow, and haki weaponry.
