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

In a corner far from Raleigh, two naval soldiers were whispering to each other.

They oiled the swords while checking the condition of the flintlock muskets.

Perhaps out of boredom, the two of them steered the conversation toward Raleigh.

"Hey Hans, you've been here so long, have you seen Commander Raleigh take action yet?"

The naval soldier called Hans looked bewildered and fell into deep thought.

"Um, it seems not... Six months ago, Colonel Raleigh and Major Flying Squirrel came to serve in Branch 133. For the past six months, Major Flying Squirrel has been leading the charge, while Colonel Raleigh has usually been watching from the ship."

Another soldier said with a look of resentment:

"In the two months since I joined the Navy, Commander Raleigh has either been sleeping or fishing; I've never seen him train or fight. Why can't I enjoy this kind of privileged life?!"

The soldiers were furious.

He wasn't angry that he could slack off because of his connection with Raleigh, but rather that he wasn't the one slacking off.

Hans comforted him:

"Alright, Baker, everyone's fate is different. Colonel Raleigh's fate is different from ours."

"We can't become like him, but we can become like Major Flying Squirrel."

"Speaking of which, Major Momonga is really too strong. Since he came to the East Blue, in the past six months, no pirate crew, whether large or small, has been able to stop the sword in Major Momonga's hand."

Baker nodded after listening, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Major Flying Squirrel is truly too perfect. He's incredibly strong, hardworking, and treats his soldiers well. However..."

The two of them glanced at the sleeping Raleigh without making a sound.

Then they said in unison:

"Damn connections!" x2!

Another leisurely day has passed, and the once radiant sun has now lost its domineering aura.

It turned into a bright red fireball, seemingly about to sink into the sea.

The golden rays of the setting sun shone on Raleigh's face.

After sleeping all afternoon, Raleigh seemed to sense something at this moment.

After taking off the blindfold and stretching for a long time, my bones made a cracking sound.

"Hey, another comfortable day."

[Sleep for five hours during the cruise and your slacking-off points will increase by 500!]

[Ding! Your "slacking off" points have reached 10,000. Do you wish to start the lucky draw?]

That's all there is to the "slacking off" system. It doesn't issue any special tasks; you just earn "slacking off points" to use for lotteries. There's no shop or anything like that.

The lottery pool contains everything, including but not limited to Devil Fruits, the three levels of Haki, and Supreme Grade Swords.

However, most of the time you only get junk rewards.

For example, there are close-fitting underwear from Gion, seagull hats from the Sengoku period, and sometimes monetary rewards such as Beli gems.

However, there is a guaranteed reward in the lottery: after 100 draws, you can randomly increase your attribute value once.

"lottery!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn Armament Haki. If you already possess it, it will automatically be converted into an advancement card.]

Looking at the advancement card in his hand, Raleigh was quite satisfied.

He had drawn Armament Haki three months ago and was already able to use its basic applications, which meant he could cover his body surface for defense or attack.

Looking at the crystal-clear advancement card in his hand, Raleigh crushed it without hesitation.

Are you going to save these good things for the New Year instead of using them?

Are we leaving them so the enemy can kill them and loot all their gear?

Impossible. How could someone as safety-conscious as Raleigh do something like this?

So whenever Raleigh draws something useful, he uses it immediately.

A warm, comforting power flowed through Raleigh's body, and he focused his mind on sensing the changes within.

Armament Haki has now covered his entire body, and this power has also modified Raleigh's physique, making him stronger and more resistant to blows.

Raleigh feels like he could kill a Sea King with a single punch!

Hmm, I could kill a sea king with one punch anyway, right? Never mind then.

"System, view properties."

[Host: Christine Raleigh]

[Affiliation: Navy]

[Technique: 4]

【Body：6】

[Wisdom: 7]

[Dominator: 3]

[Speed: 5]

Fruit: 0

The system digitized the strength data in the One Piece world, dividing it into six categories.

Techniques: including but not limited to physical skills, swordsmanship, and spearmanship.

Physical strength: including but not limited to physical strength, physical intensity, and power.

Fruit: Indicates the Devil Fruit ability and its development level. Since Raleigh currently does not have a Devil Fruit ability, it is displayed as zero.

"Wisdom" refers to the amount of knowledge one possesses, as well as combat awareness and intelligence.

"Haki" refers to the number and degree of mastery of the three types of Haki.

Speed: refers to movement speed, attack speed, reaction speed, etc.

From one point to ten points, with ten points being the maximum score.

In the world of One Piece, it is not said that strong people must possess Devil Fruits.

For example, Garp, although he doesn't have a Devil Fruit, this old man's Haki, skills, and physical abilities are all perfect, so he is at the level of an Emperor.

However, this was only during his youth. By the time of the Marineford War, Garp's stats had already declined, with his physique and speed dropping to the level of a Yonko commander.

PS: Some people's Devil Fruit abilities are too overpowered to be calculated using this table, such as Sugar's Devil Fruit and Luffy's Sit-up Fruit.

Raleigh's overall stats have exceeded 24 points. He is still nominally a colonel, but in reality, he has the strength of a major general.

However, the opponents he has encountered all along are ones that the flying squirrel can handle, so he is happy not to take action.

It also increases your "slacking off" points.

Upon waking, Raleigh watched the figure still training diligently in the twilight, and silently felt his Armament Haki grow stronger.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

Damn it, how did I get stronger while lying down?

I hope Little Flying Squirrel won't have a mental breakdown after finding out the truth.

To prevent the flying squirrel from knowing the truth, Raleigh silently concealed his presence.

"Flying Squirrel, dinner's ready! I want steak today!"

Raleigh jumped up and onto the second-floor railing, yelling at the flying squirrels on the deck.

The last rays of the setting sun illuminated Raleigh's silhouette, making him appear radiant. Coupled with a face that rivaled even the most discerning audience member, he now resembled a naval branch manager.

At this moment, Raleigh was unaware that a warship carrying a special order, which had departed from Marine Headquarters, was searching for him.

On the deck of that warship, a tall girl with long black hair was watching the setting sun.

Wearing the righteous cloak of a major from headquarters, a red tight-fitting short-sleeved shirt, and super short hot pants, he showed off his long, round, white legs to the fullest.

"Gion...Gion, please accept my confession, I truly love you!"

A naval lieutenant commander with a very unkempt appearance approached the female lieutenant commander known as Gion in a very difficult kneeling slide position.

Holding a bouquet of bright red roses in both hands, his eyes turned into pink hearts as he gazed passionately at the girl in front of him.

"Gion, please accept my confession and become my girlfriend, okay?"

It seemed that the slovenly-looking major had not won Gion's heart, and after seeing that Gion did not respond, he added another sentence.

The deck was now crowded with naval soldiers watching the spectacle.

Some people scattered confetti, some set off firecrackers, and one even thoughtfully held up a banner that read, "Major Kake's thirteenth confession..."

The other, less capable soldiers cheered and shouted:

"Major Kakei is truly a brave man!"

"Major Kakei, you're so handsome you've completely captivated me!"
