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

After instructing Gion, and seeing the excited-looking Kake, Raleigh gestured for him to come closer.

"Kakei, your path is different from Gion's; your physical skills and defense are the most important."

"You can practice the Moonwalk technique that Gion just demonstrated with you, but paper drawing isn't suitable for you."

That's right, the defensive move that Raleigh plans to teach Kake is Iron Body!

As the saying goes, there are thousands of naval six-style weapons, but if you encounter an iron block, half of the iron block will be wasted!

"The principle behind the iron block is to accelerate blood flow and speed up muscle movement, thereby achieving a hardness similar to iron. However, the flaw in this move is that most people who use it end up standing still."

"When faced with an attack that cannot be defended against by iron blocks, one can only passively take the hits."

"But I want to say that Iron Body is also a prerequisite for awakening Armament Haki, and besides, Iron Body is not a useless move. Try attacking me."

Gaki nodded and delivered a powerful, undisguised punch to Raleigh's chest.

boom!

A powerful gust of air blew through Raleigh's hair, and without hesitation, Raleigh punched Gaga in the chest.

"Yes, that's exactly the feeling!"

Kaji seemed to understand something; he realized that the move that Raleigh had blocked earlier was Iron Body!

But for some reason, Luo could still move normally after using the iron block, while others could only stand still as punishment.

"There's no need to harden your entire body like an iron block. Just like Armament Haki, it can be concentrated in one area."

Raleigh took off his clothes, revealing his perfectly sculpted physique with a beautifully defined eight-pack.

Pointing to the spot where the attack had just been launched, he said:

"Just now, based on my prediction of your movements, I accelerated the muscles in my chest to an iron-like state, which can withstand attacks from fists, feet, ordinary bullets, and swords."

"But other parts of my body haven't hardened, so I can still attack."

"The correct way to use the iron block is to defend where the real attack is needed!"

Jiaji's eyes lit up; he realized the benefits of the iron block.

Raleigh put his clothes on; if he didn't, Gion would be stunned.

"Alright, Kaji. When you're training Iron Body, just have a few naval soldiers train with you. You don't need to attack, you only need to defend."

"When you can control the iron block to harden only one part, that's when you've mastered it."

Jiaji burst into laughter:

"Don't worry, Raleigh, I'm a genius. I just didn't want to learn such a stupid move before."

Raleigh gave a cold laugh, but didn't tell Kaji.

"You'll be crying later. Back when the flying squirrel was training, he was often beaten black and blue. Even if you're more talented than him, you still got a beating."

Raleigh stretched, glanced at the other people who had already started training, and decided to go back to the sun lounger to sleep.

"Sigh, life is tough, and slacking off is even harder."

Sleeping during work training earns you +100 points in slacking off.

With the blindfold on, I don't care about anyone.

Our main idea is that you can become stronger by slacking off!

On the warship, everyone except Raleigh was busy training.

Gion is using the principles of shaving to find a way to learn Moonwalk, which involves rapidly kicking with both feet on the deck.

The training method of using iron blocks was preferred by Jiaji, but he was soon bruised and swollen by the attack of a few naval soldiers.

Miles and Bello Beatty are still young, so their current training focuses on improving their physical strength.

After all, stamina is very important in the world of One Piece. Regardless of whether you are a Devil Fruit user or not, stamina is a crucial factor in battle.

Whether it's Garp, Zephyr, or the three admirals who came after him, almost all of them are tanky characters with high attack and high defense.

No matter what kind of enemy or environment they faced, they could fight the enemy for a long time by relying on their own physical strength.

Speaking solely of Sakazuki's top tier?

During the war, whether it was large-scale group attacks or one-on-one battles with the elderly Whitebeard.

Without sufficient physical strength, one absolutely cannot last that long.

After Whitebeard's death, Sakazuki still wanted to hunt down the remaining members of the pirate crew.

This is enough to show that he still has a lot of physical strength saved.

So Miles and Bello Beatty, carrying heavy lead weights, ran around the deck.

Sweat dripped incessantly onto the deck, but their eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

When I feel tired, thinking about my goals fills me with courage again.

Sleeping during work training earns you +100 points in slacking off.

Raleigh was quite satisfied with the current situation; no one was bothering him to slack off, and everyone was working hard to become stronger.

"Ah... this is life..."

I picked up a coconut, cracked open the shell, and savored the cool coconut juice.

Sure enough, slacking off is the way to go.

Only by diligently working hard to improve oneself can one gain a foothold in the turbulent future.

A long time passed, and when Gion and the others finally stopped, panting heavily, their bodies were soaked with sweat.

They glared at Raleigh, who had fallen asleep comfortably in the sunlight.

"That damned guy..."

Watching Raleigh, who seemed so carefree, yet whose strength grew stronger day by day.

Gion and Kake felt like they were back in military school, unable to catch up with Raleigh no matter how hard they tried.

"This time, I won't admit defeat!"

Despite being covered in wounds under the scorching sun, Jia Ji paid no attention to these superficial injuries.

Instead, after a short rest, he chose to do push-ups while carrying a huge lead weight.

"Hahaha!"

Large beads of sweat kept dripping onto the ground.

But Kaji seemed oblivious to fatigue, continuing his up-and-down movements.

Gion has already grasped the basic feeling of stepping into the air and has now begun practicing swordsmanship.

This is a movement she insists on every day: swinging her sword 10,000 times!

One sword, two swords, three swords...

Even though his arms were sore and weak, and his movements were starting to become distorted, he still swung his sword forward with a determined look in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Miles and Bello Beatty were still running laps along the deck.

Sunrise and sunset, another day has passed.

As night fell, Raleigh, who had slept all day on the sun lounger, woke up.

"Hmm, why is it dark already?"

He opened his eyes, and above him was no longer the blazing sun, but a dazzling starry sky.

At the same time, the system also issued a sound very promptly.

[Slacking off for eight hours during work hours, slacking-off points +600!]

He casually stretched his body, and all the bones in his body cracked like popping beans.

"I wouldn't trade this life for a marshal's position."

Some of the still-sleepy Raleigh looked around and gaped.

Gion was practicing swordsmanship, Kake was doing weighted push-ups, and Miles and Bello Betty were not stopping either.

"Huh...why are they still training?"

Raleigh was a little stunned and quite surprised.

"However, it looks like everyone is nearing their limit."
