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

After a moment of silence, Gion finally spoke up and asked a question.

"It's me. Are you Gion?"

The flying squirrel has a great memory and immediately recognized Gion's voice.

Of course, it was also because he knew Gion was coming.

"Where's Raleigh? Why isn't he answering the phone?"

Gion asked angrily.

The flying squirrel glanced at the sleeping Raleigh, thought for a long time, and said:

"Rayle was training and didn't have time to answer the phone, but I happened to be passing by and answered it."

"Our ship will be arriving at your branch soon, we'll talk when we get there, Flying Squirrel."

Gion absolutely did not believe that Raleigh was training. From military school to the East Blue, this guy had not spent a single day training.

Intelligence reports that Raleigh spends most of his time either sleeping or fishing.

"Okay, Gion, we're on our way back and should arrive around the same time as you."

"Um!"

Gion hung up the phone decisively.

She had nothing to say about the flying squirrel; it was hardworking and capable.

But she just couldn't stand Raleigh.

The flying squirrel hung up the phone, glanced at Raleigh who was sleeping, and didn't think much of it.

After all, the bigwigs at headquarters knew Raleigh's personality, and the lack of punishment meant that he hadn't crossed their bottom line.

As the sun gradually set, bathed in golden light, Raleigh's warship was finally approaching the branch.

However, a huge ship was already docked at the branch's port.

The large ship was more than ten meters taller than the Raleigh warship. When the warship entered the harbor and docked alongside the large ship...

The sunlight was also blocked by the large ship, and shadows fell on Raleigh.

"Hmm? Is it dark yet?"

Sleeping during patrol earns you +500 points for slacking off.

At the bow of the warship, a tall, beautiful woman with long legs, wearing a naval justice cloak, was coldly looking at Raleigh below.

The sun loungers, the beachwear, and the navy cape casually placed to the side.

hum!

A crisp sound of a sword being drawn rang out; it was the soft hum of a renowned blade.

Kinpira, the Great Grade Sword, is Gion's weapon, used to cut down anyone she doesn't like.

A long sword was drawn, and then a beautiful figure descended at an extremely fast speed.

The blade was pointed directly at Raleigh's head.

"Rolley, you deserve to die."

Raleigh had just woken up when he saw a beautiful woman wielding a large machete charging towards him.

Those legs... wow, so white and long.

Those two bulges... ugh, it feels like the buttons are bearing a lot of things they shouldn't have to.

She's such a beautiful woman, it would have been better if she hadn't come with a knife to attack me...

Raleigh thought to himself, then stretched out his right hand, much to Gion's surprise.

Armament Haki... Harden!

Without dodging or avoiding, he directly met Gion's blade head-on.

Clang!

The clang of metal echoed across the deck, sending up waves of air that swept around the area from the point of impact.

Whoohoo!

The air currents made Gion's cloak flutter loudly, and at the same time, they blew away Raleigh's sleepiness.

"Gion, it's been a long time. Why are you using a knife as soon as we meet? For a girl, you're not gentle at all."

At this moment, Raleigh also recognized Gion.

"..."

Gion didn't say anything, but she was completely bewildered.

She thought that the six months that Luo Li spent slacking off in the East China Sea was the time for her to surpass Luo Li.

After six months of training, she is confident that she can beat Raleigh from six months ago.

But she never expected that Raleigh, who had always been slacking off at work, would learn Armament Haki without anyone noticing.

Judging from the quality of his Armament Haki, he doesn't seem to be a beginner; he must have been practicing for a long time.

What's wrong with this guy?!

Gion only wanted to test Raleigh's strength this time. If Raleigh's strength hadn't improved, then she would teach him a lesson and get revenge for what happened at school.

However, he never expected that his swordsmanship would be blocked by Raleigh's bare hands.

"Rayle, you bastard, you've already mastered Haki, why are you still stuck in the East Blue?"

Luo scratched his head with his left hand:

"I don't seem to have a reason to report this to you."

Raleigh's blunt, straight-male comment made Gion's chest heave.

clang!

Gion took a small step back and pulled the knife from Raleigh's hand.

He then slashed at an even faster speed, aiming straight for Raleigh's face.

"Hey, hey... I haven't offended you, Gion. If you don't stop, I'm going to get serious!"

As Raleigh said this, he tilted his body and easily dodged Gion's attack.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Gion hadn't been going all out, but after discovering Raleigh's unusually agile speed, she stopped hiding her strength and unleashed her full power.

Oh oh oh!

Kinpira also sensed its master's anger and kept cutting through the air, emitting a terrifying buzzing sound.

The air was filled with the glint of blades, as if traps meant to kill were everywhere.

"Wow, is this the genius from headquarters?"

"She's beautiful and powerful. I want to be her dog!"

A group of naval soldiers watched the battle from the deck and began to discuss it.

"Colonel Raleigh is stronger; that knife couldn't even touch him."

"That's Colonel Raleigh, of course he's strong."

"As expected of Colonel Raleigh!"

At this moment, Gion was in full swing, and she fought with increasing ferocity.

But Raleigh's figure was like a slippery eel; slashes of blades passed by him, yet they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

"Gion, I'm here to help you! Be careful, Raleigh, I'm here!"

With a strange cry, a strong figure jumped off the large ship.

With a speed comparable to shaving, a sloppy face appeared in front of Raleigh in an instant.

"Additional attack??? Why are you attacking me too!"

In an instant, Gaji appeared in front of Raleigh, his muscles bulging, and his iron fists slammed towards Raleigh's chest with a whooshing sound.

Looking at Raleigh, who had no time to dodge, Gake said smugly to himself:

"I am the genius of the navy."

Kaji could already picture the scene of Raleigh being sent flying by his punch, and his excitement grew even stronger.

boom! !

Kaji delivered a powerful punch to Raleigh's chest, who had no time to dodge, sending dust flying through the air.

However, Jiaji froze on the spot, for no other reason than that.

Despite being hit by Gaga's powerful punch, Raleigh didn't budge; he only slightly furrowed his brow.

Damn!

Even adding a charge would be too embarrassing.

It felt like my fist was hitting a mountain. Although it was powerful, it didn't cause any damage to the mountain.

That's not right!

The script shouldn't have been written like this!

A protagonist like me should be able to crush everyone upon my arrival!

Holding the famous sword, Gion couldn't help but shout, "Kake, what are you doing! Show me your true strength!"

Addendum: ...If you can do it, then you do it.

He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and strained with both hands, his arm muscles bulging again. A powerful punch slammed into Raleigh's chest once more!

boom!!!

An even louder sound rang out, and a powerful gust of air caused Kaji's cloak to flutter.

However, Raleigh's body remained completely still.

Kake was greatly shocked. Could this be the Navy's Six Styles - Iron Body?

wrong!

The iron blocks used in the Navy Six Styles require accelerated blood flow to allow the muscles to achieve iron-like hardness during contraction.

But what else could provide this feeling of resisting attacks, this move that gives the body the hardness of "steel"? It's an iron block.

"Hey! What are you doing? Are you even capable of anything?!"

Gion roared angrily.

Jiaji was extremely frustrated, but he was too embarrassed to say that he had already given it his all.

He could only swing his fists rapidly, the attacks raining down on Raleigh's body, Raleigh's upper body completely enveloped in Gaji's fist shadows.

Originally, this move, when used by Kaji, was no less powerful than a small cannonball.

Wherever he goes, whether it's rock walls or armor, his fists will destroy them.

But now, despite being hit all over, Raleigh's body was being attacked by Gaji's frenzied attacks, which had no effect whatsoever.

Raleigh remained completely still, like a pillar anchoring the sea.

It has no effect whatsoever?!

That's impossible...

Jiaji is now deeply questioning the meaning of life.

An incredible conclusion suddenly popped into my mind.

Could it be... that he has already reached the level of a general?!
