"Well, I can't make any promises about that. Being a jackass is in my blood, after all," they both burst into laughter as they sat in the car.

Tony dropped John back at his apartment, and at John's request, he checked it for any suspicious devices that would breach John's privacy.

Fortunately, Tony didn't find any such devices.

John sighed with relief and thanked Tony for everything he had done for him since the morning.

After Tony left, John first checked his system panel to see the changes in it after his physical strength had drastically increased once he drank the serum.

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

'The proficiency of the physical strength increased to 7%. How strong would I even become once I reach even 50%?' James wondered and then focus on the Regeneration ability that popped under the physical strength.

'Its proficiency can also be increased?' John was shocked. 'Is this because of the system or because of the serum?' John was confused.

Pondering over a bit he decided to let the matter go as he wasn't able to reach a suitable conclusion.

John decided to start training Haki after a five minutes rest.

As John sat in his apartment, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calming his mind and focusing his energy. He knew that to begin his training in Observation Haki, he would need to heighten his senses and become more aware of his surroundings.

He started by focusing on his hearing, trying to tune in to even the faintest of sounds. He could hear the soft hum of the refrigerator, the distant traffic outside, and the sound of his own breathing. But as he concentrated harder, he realized he could also pick up on the subtle sounds of footsteps from the neighboring apartments and the rustling of leaves outside.

Next, John shifted his attention to his vision, channeling his Haki to enhance his ability to perceive his surroundings. He opened his eyes, but instead of just seeing what was right in front of him, he began to notice the details. He could see the minute movements of insects outside his window, the slight flicker of the streetlights, and the tiny specks of dust floating in the air.

With his hearing and vision heightened, John moved on to his sense of touch. He closed his eyes again and extended his arm, focusing on the sensation of the air against his skin. As he channeled his Haki, he began to feel even the slightest changes in temperature and pressure. He could sense the warmth of his own body, the coolness of the breeze coming in through the window.

He practiced the Observation Haki through the same methods used by Whitebeard in the world of One Piece. He had gotten all the training methods about Haki through the system, that Whitebeard used in the One Piece world.

And the best way to increase the proficiency of Observation Haki was to either train intensively by asking someone to hit you while you blindfoldedly try to dodge those attacks and the other one was to engage in the actual combat.

John decided to ask Tony for some training equipment in order to train the Observation Haki and as for the actual combat, he decided to postpone it for a bit.

Now that he had tried training the Observation Haki for almost three hours, John decided to move on to Armament Haki.

John closed his eyes and took a deep breath, focusing his mind on the concept of Armament Haki. This unique ability granted its users the power to coat their bodies and weapons with an invisible armor, enhancing their physical strength and enabling them to hit Logia-type Devil Fruit users from the spirit realm.

He had always been fascinated by Armament Haki and had seen its potential in battles. Now, it was time for him to acquire this powerful skill and further enhance his combat abilities.

John stood up and stretched his limbs, readying his body for the intense training ahead. He knew that mastering Armament Haki required discipline, focus, and unwavering determination.

He started by visualizing the concept of coating his body with Armament Haki. In his mind's eye, he imagined the invisible armor enveloping his skin, providing him with an impenetrable defense. He repeated this visualization over and over again, ensuring that the image was clear and vivid in his mind.

Next, John began to channel his Haki energy into his arms. He focused on the sensation of his Haki flowing through his veins, strengthening his muscles and increasing his physical power. Every movement he made was infused with Haki, enhancing his strikes and making them more potent.

As he practiced, John could feel the energy of Armament Haki coursing through his body, fueling his determination. He pushed himself to the limit, performing punches and kicks with incredible force. Gradually, he could see the manifestation of his Haki coating, as a faint black layer enveloped his arms. Though the coating would immediately disappear. John continued the practice of coating his arms with Haki.

It required complete concentration and John practiced it for almost four hours, trying to channel the Haki and cover the different parts of his body.

"It's not easy at all," John thought to himself, feeling mentally exhausted after practicing the two types of Haki for almost ten hours.

John decided to take a break from his training and went out to have dinner. When he returned home, he went straight to bed.

As he lay in bed, John couldn't help but reflect on the events of the day. Letting out a sigh, he pushed all his thoughts aside and focused on getting a good night's sleep.
