14 14. Road to Alabasta
One day after they leave the Winter Island, the Strawhats did their usual activity that you can imagine for yourself. Jon woke up late because he is wasted afted party. He finally drink his first booze last night, he's got too carried away. He want to stop when remembering his mom nagging but the booze is really good so he drink a lot and became wasted. He don't like the cigaret tough, making Sanji felt defeated by Zoro so they start their usual skinship. After he wake up and clean himself, he got some water to lessen his hungover and ask a medicine from Chopper.
"You drink too much for your first time. Sigh, control yourself next time. It's booze not juice"-Nami
"....Aye sir"-Jon said Happy's line but he's not sound happy when he say it.
After sometime he feel better and decide to get some fresh air, so he go to the crownest. He found Usopp there so he said he will change with him. After Usopp go down, Jon sat there while looking at the fast sea. It's already 2 years since he arrive in this world and now he will finally explore this world. He still have his mission tough, but it's okay, he can do it while exploring the world. He open the system and chose shop, he look for taijutsu and clicking their basic information.

"....."-Jon look dumbfounded at the system.
'What's wrong with the system? What the fuck is that list and explanatiom? Its all have crappy explanation except Madara style. Heck, it even grey out the other style except Madara's. It really want me to choose Madara's style. Is it because i wish for Madara's power? Then why don't it give me this from the start? System, why is it?'-Jon
[It's because host need to figure out his needs to grow strong. GOD have made the System program to help host grow stronger but host need know how to be strong by himself.]
'Shit, it must be because i ask for the system to be a support only. That GOD must've done this to make it more interesting for him. He must find it amusing seeing me struggle in this place. Sigh, and i can't even complain because it's also my fault for not making a specific wish.'-Jon
He click Madara style and it's price is 500 SP, just like S-rank ninjutsu. So it must be considered S-rank in Taijutsu like The Eight Gates that has the same price. After buying it, he just left with 32 SP. Now he just crossing the gate of poverty. He just get some SP after defeating Jackie but he didn't get a mission yet. He hope he got a mission in Alabasta. If not he will need to kick some BW agents or some rebel army.
Then he decided to train until they arrived at Alabasta. He make 10 clones, it's his max number that will not make his brain overload when they popped for now. He think of why Naruto is fine even when his hundreds of clones popped at the same time, is it because of kyuubi or maybe they don't think at all so there's no information being transferred back? That must be it, they even debating who's the main body, yare-yare.
He make divide the clone in two men teams. Team one learning his chidori, he hasn't been learning it because he's too focuses on searching doctor before. Team two and three will learn nature transformation affinity, he give them a lot of leaves to try imitating chakra paper effect with each affinity. Team four train in chakra control by standing on the sea and move without walking or running, just using chakra to move, because he still can't find a waterfall so he use his (my) creativity but it's hard and the clone can't move fast and they got left by the ship, so Jon just command them to dispel when their chakra depletes. Team five will train the Madara style with him, he will spar with the two clones on water sometime while keep using weights to train his physique too. He can't spar on ship to avoid breaking the ship further than it already has. If he can use mokuton maybe he can repair it.
He want to train rasengan too because everybody know how to train it without buying scroll, but he don't have water balloon and rubber ball, he don't even have money so he plan to steal some from Baroque Works. They're about to be destroyed if everything go as planned, if there's any plan, but you-know-what-i-mean. Anyway because they're about to be destroyed, must as well make some profit. He can also train his infiltration skill while also doing some espionage to gather information. He will give most of the money for the crew, some for Vivi as it's her country that suffer and save some for himself. But he still pondering how much, because 50.1% is still most of it right? He's just worried about Nami, he don't know what she will do when she saw those money.
For few days Jon keep training and interacting with the crew. He doesn't feel awkward anymore like before. He start talking more and fooling around with the younger member as they're basically around the same age. Even tough he was 22 on earth but he is a childish guy. His life in forest make him more mature but he can't change his root. So he start playing with them when he rest from training, but he still follow his training routine. Now he know why Zoro often sleep at noon, he saw him training at night while he keep watch and the others sleep or rest, so he sleep when the others are awake.
Now Jon have made some progress, he finally succed in leaf training, but he need more proficiency to combine it into mokuton. So he start the next step, for water he try to use chakra to control water at sea and also make water from air without ninjutsu. For earth, he can't do it here because there's no soil or stone to use, and theres no dust above the sea to make stone from air, so he just train his fire and lightning by doing jutsus and try to minimize the chakra output. He already succeed training chidori, he try it in water and the fishes start floating. The crew start partying and he has a new job, fisherman.
His chakra control training also went well, and he's surprises to see it work. At first he just thought that walking up the water fall is basically walking on a moving water and you must move your chakra faster than the water so you didn't fall. So he start to think of a possibility, what if it's him that move not the water, isn't the principle are to move your chakra under your feet at fast speed. It's just like running on a treadmill and on the road. Now he can move at half speed of the ship with his chakra control.
His taijutsu is the one that improve the most. He feel like it's tailored made for him even tough he still doesn't master it but he feels his move is flowing. His spar with the clones also help a lot, he can basically see himself move and countering himself, so he could see his weakness. When he start doing improvisation, his clones will do their own improvisation too so he can compare it when they dispell. He also spar with Zoro sometimes with training tools. He want to spar with the others too but he never encountering them do some training, maybe they train while he sleep.
He also give Nami his Paradise map that he got from starter pack. He just remember having it yesterday because he never use it. Nami happily take it because it's free, and even tough it's not detailed, it's enough for them as they just start their journey on grandline. He also give Chopper his ninja pills so he can research them and he don't need to waste SP. All in all, he make proggress and the day goes by and Alabasta is just one day longer.
