Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

It is difficult for a person who is both righteous and kind to survive in this world, because this world is neither righteous nor kind.

-------------------------------------

The year is 1494 in the Sea Calendar. (28 years after the Marineford War)

An unnamed area in the East China Sea.

The sun shone brightly on the shimmering sea, and a gentle sea breeze caressed the faces of every sailor.

A warship flying a white seagull flag is sailing at a very steady speed on this sea.

A huge sail hangs from the tall mast, with the two large characters "Justice" written on it in black paint!

That's right, this is a naval warship that symbolizes justice.

At this moment, a man wearing sunglasses is lying on a sun lounger, looking at the scenery in the distance.

"As expected. It's only truly enjoyable to slack off at work."

"Fishing during a sea voyage will earn you 100 fishing points."

His name is Christine Raleigh, a transmigrator from Earth, and a former workaholic who worked 996 hours a day.

One night, I worked overtime until 4 a.m., and when I fell asleep, I woke up to find myself transported to the world of One Piece, to a deserted island in the chaotic North Sea.

If he hadn't found a good older brother, he would have been dead long ago.

His older brother was no ordinary person; he was Borsalino, one of the three future admirals of the Navy, codenamed "Kizaru".

My good brother joined the Navy two years ago and insisted on bringing me with him.

Raleigh considered it for a moment; being a civilian in this world was far too dangerous.

Celestial Dragons, pirates, the mafia...

If he continues to stay in that chaotic place, Beihai, he will die in some unknown corner sooner or later.

For the sake of his life, he chose to follow his heart.

Unexpectedly, after joining the Navy, he immediately awakened the cheat-like ability that is standard for transmigrators.

The "Slacking Off System" is exactly what it sounds like.

You can earn "slacking off" points by slacking off at work, and you can use these points to quickly become stronger.

After obtaining the system, Raleigh naturally settled down.

He originally joined the navy just to earn a living and find a safe place to settle down.

Now that there's a system, they're even less inclined to train hard.

The instructors at the military academy disliked him, as did a group of mid-level generals at the Navy Headquarters.

However, Raleigh has a system after all, so even though he slacks off during training, his strength is still among the top few.

After graduating successfully, the vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters, who had grown impatient, sent Raleigh to the East China Sea to serve as a branch manager of a naval base.

Having escaped the constraints of the Marine Headquarters, Raleigh was now completely free to do as he pleased, not only slacking off at work but also frequently taking paid breaks to defecate.

If it weren't for Kizaru's increasingly important position in the headquarters, he probably would have been removed from his post long ago.

"Hey, it's great to have a good older brother."

Raleigh picked up the fresh coconut juice beside him and took a sip.

Looking at the naval soldiers training hard on the deck below, I felt even more relaxed.

Everyone becomes stronger in different ways.

There are countless paths to success. While others climb Mount Tai on foot, he took a helicopter directly to the summit.

Compared to other seas, the East China Sea is indeed calmer.

There is no such thing as the Age of Exploration, nor are there any Four Emperors of the Sea.

The strongest force was originally the Rocks Pirates in the New World, but it was destroyed in the God Valley Incident. What remains are the Roger Pirates and the Golden Lion's Flying Pirates.

The new world today can be described as a complete mess.

Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), Shiki (Golden Lion), Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom), and Kaido (the Beasts) who is still young are all vying for territory.

Although the Roger Pirates didn't care about the size of their territory, they were still one of the strongest pirate crews.

Their war plunged the New World into constant chaos.

But what does this have to do with Raleigh?

Look at my good older brother, he's been in a lot of fights and made a lot of contributions, but his clothes are never dirty after a fight.

During the Marineford War, he unleashed AOE skills with abandon, making them arguably the most flashy skills while dealing minimal damage.

Taking a break is the true way of life!

After taking another sip of coconut juice, I basked in the sunshine. It felt wonderful.

I've been here for almost half a year and haven't encountered any strong opponents.

Most of the time, he was on the ship watching his excellent men charge into battle.

The fiercest of them all is Major Flying Squirrel.

Flying Squirrel and Raleigh were classmates during their military academy training, but back then, Flying Squirrel was always outdone by Raleigh, who was always slacking off.

Men's friendships often begin with a random meal.

After beating up the flying squirrel, Raleigh complained about the poor food at the military academy that night and wanted to sneak out to eat something better.

But having no excuse, he happened to see the injured flying squirrel and insisted on treating the flying squirrel to a meal as an apology. He asked the instructor for leave and dragged the flying squirrel out of the military academy gate.

After the meal, the flying squirrel's resentment dissipated.

From initial resentment to later chasing after Raleigh, the two became good friends.

When Raleigh was assigned to the East Blue as a branch manager, Momonga ignored the advice of others and followed Raleigh to the East Blue as a deputy.

Raleigh looked up at the flying squirrel practicing its swordsmanship on the deck.

Sigh, even the flying squirrels are working hard to wield their swords, is it really appropriate for me to just lie here?

Seemingly noticing Raleigh's gaze, the flying squirrel waving its saber on the deck stopped.

He walked to the sun lounger with his sword in one hand and reached out to take the coconut juice from the table.

Completely ignoring that Raleigh had already taken a sip, he gulped it down in one go.

At this time, the flying squirrel was not as robust as he would become later; he was still quite naive after graduating.

Sweat poured from his body, soaking his clothes as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

"Flying squirrel... Are you that fierce today? I don't think you've had a break all morning."

How many times did he swing his sword this morning? Five thousand or ten thousand times?

I don't understand.

Raleigh would sometimes watch for a while, but most of the time he slept or stared aimlessly at the sea.

Whenever he focused his attention on the flying squirrel, he would always be seriously swinging his sword.

"No... I need to focus on training. Sooner or later, I will surpass you and defeat you."

Major Flying Squirrel said firmly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes—a testament to his unwavering determination to become stronger.

"What are you comparing yourself to? Don't you know I'm a genius?"

Raleigh boasted about his talent without batting an eye.

"You...you clearly have such great talent, why don't you work even harder?"

The flying squirrel looked at Raleigh, who was lying lazily on the sun lounger, and said angrily.

"Hey, if geniuses have to work hard, how are ordinary people supposed to survive?"

......

The flying squirrel was speechless for a moment, and deeply regretted becoming friends with the guy in front of it because of a meal.

But what he said makes sense; after all, in the world of One Piece, strength reigns supreme.

Whoever has the bigger fist has the right to speak.

The reason he didn't lead a branch like the others was because he grew the fastest in Raleigh.

Although the flying squirrel is currently only a major, judging from the pirates he has fought,

The flying squirrel now possesses the strength of a colonel.

All of this is thanks to this guy in front of me, who slacks off with complete righteous indignation.

The colonel entrusted all matters to the flying squirrel, and also offered the flying squirrel some guidance during its training.

This is why the flying squirrel was willing to be a deputy rather than a branch leader.

"I'm not going to bother with you anymore, you should just rest."

After resting, the flying squirrel went back to the deck. Today he was going to swing his sword 10,000 times and then do weight training.

"All right......"

Raleigh's lazy voice rang out; he was getting sleepy from the damn warm sun and gentle sea breeze.

The next moment, Raleigh was already lost in thought, daydreaming.

Sleeping during patrol earns you +100 points for slacking off.
