Jon's stomachache finally gone after he flushed out everything in his stomach. But now he is hungry, so he goes to where his friends are. He runs stealthily, so no one on the coast knows that he leaves the ship.
The Straw Hats are having a party with Red Hair Pirates now. The Red Hairs are very happy to see Luffy again and Yasopp is happy to see his son. So they hold a big party in their base using any food & drinks they have.
Sanji is helping the Red Hair Pirates' Cooks preparing the food. They even have a little competition on who can cook faster and make better food. Their competition is welcomed by those who want to eat a lot of good food.
Jon arrives in the party but he doesn't announce his arrival. He slips in and blends into the crowd because he just wants to eat now. He hasn't had any good meal for a day and everything he ate has came out, so he needs food now.
No one realizes him in the party at all. His stealth is just that good that he can hide from anyone there. Both Straw Hat & Red Hair Pirates have people who are proficient at Observation Haki, but no one feels Jon's presence at all.
Not even those who see him realize who he is because his presence is just so thin. They all thought that he is just a normal member of Red Hair Pirates's subordinate crew that never had a chance to shine in the story, just an extra.
Jon keeps eating while enjoying the fact that no one realizes his presence here. He always likes the feeling of fooling people's senses. It even gets better when he moves past his crewmates & Red Hairs' executives but no one realizes him at all.
It feels like he becomes invisible while he is actually there. Now he is really sure that his Ninja skills are reaching very high levels. It means he doesn't neglect his Ninja skills to focus on power, he is still a very good ninja while also being a very good fighter.
After filling his stomach, Jon goes to explore the Red Hair Pirates' base, stealthily. He moves around openly, but no one realizes who he is. Only when he enters restircted area does he hides in the shadow and slips through the guards.
Jon doesn't really want to steal information or pry into Red Hair Pirates' secret. But he just can't help it, he really wants to know everything here. He is someone who is very curious about anything, and besides, knowing everything in the world is his highest goal.
Without any problem, Jon enters every location in the base. He slips through every security without getting detected at all. Using his skills, ninjutsus, & experience, Jon can get everything he wants to know here.
He copies every information he finds and stores them in his scrolls. Jon is very excited with all information he gets here. There are many surprising things that he finds, after all, including some big secrets.
But he won't share those secrets to his crew because he knows that Luffy will hate it. Luffy won't agree with what Jon does right now on Shanks' base. So he will keep these pieces of information to himself.
Besides, these pieces of information aren't things that his crew really need to know. Most of them are Red Hair Pirates' internal businesses while the others are not things that will help them reaching their goal. Although there are many things that pick Jon's interest.
"Hoo, so Shanks didn't go to Laugh Tale with Roger Pirates. What?! Buggy was as strong as him when they were apprentice? Damn, he could be as powerful as Shanks now if he wasn't wasting his time in East Blue," says Ben after finding a document of Shanks's past as an apprentice in Roger Pirates.
Jon is now in Shanks's room in Red Force, Red Hair Pirates' ship. Just like before, he entered this ship without anyone's knowledge. Not even the ones who guard the ship see his shadow when he moves on the ship.
Currently, Jon is copying the documents in Shanks's room. He finds some journals that will be very interesting to read in the future. Jon wants to read it after he finishes his journey because it will be very boring to know things before experiencing them himself, the journal is like spoiler for him.
Even so, he still copies the journal because he wants to compare what he finds in his journey with Red Hair Pirates. There must be many things that he can't find in this vast world. So he will use the journal to complete his knowledge in the future.
Jon has a jutsu that allows him to copy the contents of books without reading them. It's a jutsu that was created by the Goddess through Jane when she was still a system. It's one of the gifts that the Goddess gave him for getting the 9 Tailed Fox devil fruit, but it came quite late.
He never has the chance to use it before, but he finds it to be very useful now. It makes him wonder whether he needs to copy Kaido's, Big Mom's, and Whitebeard's journals. They must've had crazy adventure too, but it must be very difficult to find their journals after a long time has passed since their death.
Jon decides to think about it later and continue to explore the base. He gather as much information and copies as many documents as he can. No one finds anything strange even though Jon has explored many places in the base.
2 hours later, he finds a prison building that has many guards. It's not something that piqued his interest because he doesn't really care about Red Hair Pirates' enemies. But he is still very curious of the people who are stupid enough to oppose an Emperor Crew.
Jon enters the prison and sees that it's also a mine like Udon. He finds some pirate crews and bounty hunters there. They all are working in the mine like the prisoners in Udon, but they look quite well fed, unlike Beasts Pirates' prisoners, so the Red Hair Pirates are still treating their prisoners humanely.
Well, Jon doesn't really care about this thing because it's not his business. But then he sees something that turns this into his business. He sees Bartolomeo & Barto Club members in the prison mine.
Jon checks the situation first before taking Bartolomeo to a hidden place stealthily. He also leaves a clone that transformed into Bartolomeo to keep working and prevent the guards from getting suspicious. Jon & Bartolomeo are now in a hidden place and Bartolomeo almost freaks out when he sees Jon, but Jon closes his mouth.
"Don't shout! We are still in Red Hair Pirates' base, so don't attract their attention," says Jon.
Bartolomeo nods before whisperig in an excited tone, "Jon-senpai! You are here, be~. Then all the senpais must be here too, be~. Does this mean we'll have a war with Red Hair Pirates? I'm so excited, be~>"
"We are here, but not for a war like you think. Well, doesn't matter. Just tell me why you're here," says Jon.
Bartolomeo looks disappointed that there won't be any war. But he still tells Jon what made his crew gets imprisoned here. "It all started at that day, be~. My crew was-,"
Jon stops him in the middle and says, "Just tell me the short story, I don't need a too long explanation or the full story."
Bartolomeo nods disappointedly and says, "We attacked one of Red Hair Pirates' terrytories and burnt their flag. Then we got captured and put in this prison."
Jon slaps his forehead and sighs after hearing that explanation. He doesn't know what inspired these dumbasses to suddenly provoke an Emperor crew by themselves. "This is what happened when idiots are idolizing an idiot."
