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

"Hahaha..."

The heavy breathing of the crowd continued, and their consciousness was already fading.

In Raleigh's Observation Haki, they were like candles flickering in the wind, about to collapse at any moment.

thump!

Miles and Bello Beatty were the first to fall; they were still young and their physical abilities couldn't compare to those of Gion and Kake, who had been training for many years.

"Five more laps... I... I must keep going..."

"To become as strong as Brother Raleigh... for my dream..."

The two children struggled to their feet, trying to continue, but... bang!

They had expended so much energy that they didn't have the strength to stand up.

"Aaaaaah!"

"I...haven't gotten stronger yet...Get up..."

Whoosh!

A figure appeared in front of them, and Raleigh reached out and pressed down on the two children who were trying to get up.

"Hmm, well done, Miles, Bello Betty."

"I'm sorry, Master. We haven't completed the plan you set."

The two children had tears in their eyes, as if they had failed to complete the plan and let Raleigh down.

"That's already very good, both of you."

"When I was your age, I wasn't as strong as you. I couldn't even do ten laps with weights on."

Raleigh smiled and comforted the two children in front of him.

"You have surpassed many children your age... You are all outstanding naval personnel..."

Raleigh's words of comfort seemed to have a good effect on Miles and Belo Betty, who looked up at him.

"Master...are we really such excellent navy personnel?"

"Of course! When have I ever lied to you!"

Raleigh pointed to himself, then to Gion and Kake, and said:

"Not only me, but even Gion and Kake believe you are excellent naval personnel."

"However, you all need to get some rest now."

Raleigh extended his finger and gently tapped the back of Miles and Bello Betty's neck, instantly putting the two, who were already exhausted, to sleep.

He waved, and two naval soldiers who had been waiting on the deck immediately came over and carefully carried Miles and Bello Betty back to the deck.

"Let's take them both back to rest first."

"yes!"

Raleigh's figure appeared instantly beside Kakei, and at the moment he appeared, Kakei seemed to have reached his physical limit.

His body suddenly pressed against the deck.

Raleigh held onto the lead weights on Kake's body with one hand and Kake's collar with the other to prevent him from slamming his face onto the deck.

A group of naval soldiers quickly gathered and carried away Kaji.

Raleigh glanced at the one remaining, exquisitely beautiful figure on the deck.

"Gion, is it alright now?"

"Wait a minute, six more ticks."

"9995...9997...9999...10000".

After wielding her final sword strike, Gion's right hand was severely dislocated.

The golden pendant also slipped from his hand.

Raleigh appeared instantly beside Gion, one arm around her slender waist, the other grabbing the hilt of Kinpira's sword from mid-air.

"I really don't understand why you guys train so hard."

"It's incomprehensible that one or two of them can train themselves to the point of unconsciousness."

Raleigh complained to Gion in his arms.

"The one who's incomprehensible is you, Raleigh!"

"You've been slacking off all this time, yet your strength is unfathomable. Just what kind of monster are you...?"

"I..."

Before Raleigh could answer, Gion, like the others, also fainted.

This time, however, Raleigh didn't ask the naval soldiers for help. Instead, he carried Gion back to her room in a princess carry.

Raleigh lay on the sun lounger, enjoying life to the fullest.

It has been more than a week since he last guided their training, and they no longer need Raleigh's guidance.

"System, view properties."

Since setting sail from the East China Sea, Raleigh's luck seems to have improved considerably.

A few days ago, I won an Armament Haki upgrade card in a lottery again, which has upgraded my Armament Haki training to the third level, the external release stage.

This stage is what Wano Country calls the power of Ryuo.

Because of the increase in Haki, Raleigh's Haki and Body stats each increased by one point, bringing his total stats to 28.

He's no longer considered a rookie among generals; according to this data, he should be an elite major general.

However, without a Devil Fruit, its offensive methods are somewhat limited compared to those of Devil Fruit users.

However, Raleigh didn't care; he was the kind of person who would never take action unless absolutely necessary.

As for skill, it will naturally increase as long as he keeps slacking off.

"Report, Colonel Raleigh, we are almost at the transfer port on the Red Line."

"it is good."

Raleigh sat up from the sunchair, looked at the towering red earth continent in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.

No matter how many times you've seen it, standing in front of the Red Earth again will always leave you in awe of its terrain.

No one would have imagined that there was such a tall, ring-shaped continent in the middle of the ocean.

Together with the Grand Line, which is enveloped by the Calm Belt, it divides the entire planet's oceans into four equal seas.

Between the East China Sea and the North China Sea lies the insurmountable red earth continent.

In this day and age, the navy can only use elevator-like devices to send people and small amounts of supplies up there.

Then take the elevator down from the other side, while the warships can only stay where they are.

However, this elevator is very slow, so the Navy will send anyone who reaches the rank of Commodore to serve in the Grand Line.

Only a small number of vice admirals, when serving as admirals of the four seas, would return to the four seas from the Grand Line.

This is why, even the navies of the four seas are relatively weak, and why their control over the four seas is insufficient.

"Alright, pack your things and get ready to take the elevator for departure."

Raleigh made an announcement to the group and then began packing his things.

The soldiers on their warship would not be going to the North Sea with them; in fact, they were also soldiers of the East Sea branch.

It was also because Gion and Kake were being greeted when they transferred from the Grand Line.

Soon, Raleigh and his group, having finished packing, left the warship.

Beneath the red earth lies a small port controlled by the navy.

Gion handed the pass to the colonel in charge of guarding the area for inspection.

"Master, are we going to ride on that thing?"

Miles pointed to a somewhat rudimentary elevator on the red earth.

"Yes, the only way to get to Beihai is by taking this train over the red earth continent."

"Then why not carve out a passage instead of traversing the Red Earth?"

Raleigh gently patted Bello Betty's head and said softly:

"I don't know either, but you can look up the answer when you have the chance."
