The moving process was completed as John settled into his new home. The mansion had cost him 27 million dollars.

Money was not a problem for him, as his parents had left him a significant amount of money. John had also invested some of his money into companies that he knew would thrive in the future.

John moved everything from his apartment and old mansion to Queens, along with his two cars, an Audi TT and a Lamborghini Reventon.

He was glad to have been born into a wealthy family. At least he wouldn't have to worry about making money and could fully focus on his training.

For the past few days, John had continued his training with appropriate breaks in between. He had also started training with his weapon, Murakumogiri, a blade known to be one of the 12 Supreme Grade swords in the One Piece world.

He had also asked Tony to make suitable modifications to his training room so that he could effectively learn Observation Haki.

John told Tony about the idea of training his reflexes, and within a few days, Tony had prepared a suitable training room for him to practice Observation Haki.

As John entered the room, he saw many wooden weapons mounted on the walls. The room was controlled entirely by voice commands.

With John's commands, the weapons in the room would automatically start attacking him based on the speed determined by John. The number of weapons that would attack simultaneously was also chosen by him.

John stood in the center of the room and commanded the activation of a single weapon before starting his training.

Being new to this whole Observation Haki thing, John had only been training for five days, and he knew that there was still a lot of training ahead of him.

Closing his eyes, John activated his Observation Haki and tried to empty his mind and concentrate.

As the weapon approached him, John tried to sense it's direction and speed, but he was unsuccessful in his attempt and the weapon hit him in his back.

He knew he had to be faster and better at using his Observation Haki to dodge the attacks.

Taking a deep breath, John reset the training and commanded for another weapon to be activated. This time, he focused even harder, blocking out all other distractions and solely concentrating on the weapon's movement.

As the weapon approached, John felt a tingling sensation at the back of his mind. He instinctively moved to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack. However, he was not completely successful, as a small cut appeared on his shirt where the weapon grazed him.

The wooden weapons had been made sharp enough as per John's request. At first, he wanted to use metal weapons, but after contemplating a bit, he decided to go with sharp wooden weapons.

These wooden weapons were not strong enough to hurt him. But if attacked by them in a great speed, they would definitely leave a mark on John's clothes. 

John gritted his teeth and continued to train, repeating the process over and over. Slowly but surely, he started to improve. He became more attuned to the weapon's movements, able to predict their trajectory and dodge them with greater accuracy.

John quickly realized that he needed to improve his timing and precision. He reset the training once again, determined to do better this time.

He took a moment to calm his mind and focused on sharpening his Observation Haki. 

With this newfound clarity, John swiftly maneuvered his body, effortlessly evading the weapon's attack. Not a single hair on his head was touched as he elegantly danced out of harm's way.

A sense of pride surged within John as he sensed the weapon harmlessly pass by. He knew he had made progress, but he also understood that there was still a long way to go.

He reset the training once more, eager to further refine his skills and push himself even further. 

{Six Months Later}

It has been six months since John moved to his new mansion. He had sincerely been training since that day. John had made significant progress in every field of his powers as he had allocated the appropriate amount of time to each of his abilities.

While brushing his teeth, John willed the system panel to appear in front of him.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

He wondered, 'Am I a genius, or is it because of the system?' If he continued training like this, he knew that it wouldn't be impossible for him to reach Luffy's level in Haki in less than a year. It took Luffy a total of two years to achieve significant success in Haki, but John was confident that he could reach that level in just one year and two months.

John had become more adept at using the power of the Quake Quake Fruit. However, he didn't use the full power of his fruit while training because he didn't want to destroy his new mansion. He also experimented with new applications of his Devil Fruit power.

Furthermore, apart from his Regeneration ability, everything else had significantly improved in efficiency. The Regeneration ability had only increased by 1.2%.

He pondered, 'Did I have to get myself badly hurt in order to increase the proficiency of this ability?'

Also, John had been able to cover his weapon with Haki and increase the damage dealt by it through training over these months. With a few tries, he was also able to replicate Whitebeard's ability to cover his weapon with the power of the Quake Quake fruit during the war. Overall, his strength had significantly and satisfactorily increased over the past six months.
