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

[Slacking off on the battlefield earns you +400 slacking-off points]

"What do you mean 'slacking off'? I'm just observing from the sidelines, okay? You really don't understand tactics..."

Raleigh complained about the system while watching the carnage below.

Each flash of golden sword light meant the fall of a figure.

Gion moved through the crowd, easily deflecting any attacks, as nimbly as a butterfly flitting among flowers.

On the other side, Jiaji presented a completely different scene.

As a master of physical combat, Jiaji's every punch is filled with unparalleled explosive power.

The powerful and heavy attack left these unfamiliar Mafia members utterly powerless to resist.

He was sent flying with a single punch.

How can we play then!

"Awesome, so awesome! A few more, I can't get enough!"

Jiaji seemed very excited; he had been holding back for a while.

As a genius from the headquarters, he only realized after going to the East China Sea that he had been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well all along.

Although I don't become withdrawn, I'm still very unhappy.

Kake is very strong; having reached the level of an elite colonel, he could easily defeat a pirate captain worth seventy or eighty million.

Although the people of Beihai are stronger than those of other sea areas, they are still no match for the geniuses of the headquarters who have undergone systematic training.

"Die, you damned navy!"

Samuel picked up his musket and was about to fire at Gion, who had his back to him.

At that moment, Gion, who had been completely unaware, suddenly dodged the sneak attack with a swift movement.

Raleigh, of course, also witnessed this scene, and stroked his chin, muttering to himself:

"You've already mastered the application of Observation Haki in battle? No wonder you're called a genius."

He knew about Gion and Kake's talents; frankly, Gion and Kake were not ordinary people who could do what they did.

For an average person, the pinnacle of a lifetime's effort is probably a rear admiral in the navy, and with good luck, they might reach the rank of vice admiral.

PS: (As for that deserter king who put in 200 times the effort and went from an ordinary person to an admiral in just two and a half years, all I can say is that his cheat code is even more outrageous than Nika's.)

Raleigh clapped his hands, and suddenly, the sound of synchronized footsteps echoed from outside the battlefield.

As they seemed to be getting closer to the battlefield, soon the navy, armed with muskets and sabers, filed out.

The dark muzzles of guns were all pointed at the members of the Maysfield family in front of them.

Seeing that the navy had surrounded them, the mafia members became even more frenzied.

Gion glared angrily at Samuel in the distance. If it weren't for her Observation Haki detecting him, she would have suffered a hidden loss.

But now!

A flash of murderous intent crossed Gion's eyes.

"I... vote..."

Samuel raised his hands, intending to surrender to the navy, but a golden blade flashed by.

He swallowed the words he hadn't yet uttered.

Samuel froze on the spot, a trail of blood spreading from his throat.

A blank expression, an incredulous look in their eyes.

Why? Why are these damned navy soldiers still attacking? Why won't they accept my generous terms?

He had only just climbed to the third-in-command position in the Maysfield family, and there were still many things he hadn't yet enjoyed.

And after finally getting the Iron-Blooded Admiral Sakazuki transferred, he died by the sword before he could even show his skills. How absurd!

boom!

On Kakei's side, the outcome was also decided, with Terence, who was fighting him, being punched in the chest by Kakei.

His body crashed into the surrounding buildings at an extremely high speed, and the scattered dust indicated that he was powerless to resist.

"Phew, that was a really exhilarating battle, Raleigh. It's a shame you didn't participate."

"I'm so excited," Jia Ji said.

Raleigh glanced at Gaji, then ignored him.

It's really impossible to communicate with such a hardworking and ambitious person.

I only earn tens of thousands of Berries a month, yet they make me do such hard work.

This is only because the Navy didn't withhold Raleigh's salary or owe him wages; otherwise, Raleigh might have actually done something like reselling military supplies.

We see that what needed to be fought has been fought, and what needed to be controlled has been controlled.

Raleigh lifted his buttocks and jumped off the building.

[Stand by the sidelines while observing the battlefield: +500 "slacking off" points]

Seeing his "slacking off" points in the system increase significantly, Raleigh was very happy. All his hard work in figuring out how to slack off had paid off.

Of course, Gion and Kakei deserve praise.

Young people are easily swayed by empty promises. A few passionate words can make them forget their responsibilities and rush headlong to the front lines.

"Gion, Kakei, your performance just now was truly outstanding. This battle is the first step in reforming the North Sea."

"You have ushered in the era of justice in Beihai."

Kaji grinned foolishly, and a hint of joy flashed across Gion's face.

The meticulous Raleigh naturally noticed this.

After praising Gion and Kakei, Raleigh walked up to the surrounded Selsebury family.

At this moment, all the members of the Selsebury family laid down their weapons and obediently squatted on the ground.

Although they didn't know why the navy hadn't killed them, they weren't stupid; living was better than dying.

However, their inherent loyalty still led them to surround their young master.

Looking at the thin, trembling body in the center of the crowd.

Raleigh asked with great interest:

"Hey kid, you're the young master of the Selesbury family?"

Her small body trembled with fear, but as the head of the Selesbury family, she also had her pride.

A voice feigning composure rang out:

"Yes...yes, I am the head of the Selesbury family, my name is Selesbury Alice."

Raleigh nodded.

"Kid, how about working for the Navy?"

"what?"

Alice was completely bewildered; she had originally thought the best outcome would be being arrested and imprisoned.

But the naval commander in front of him said something that surprised everyone.

"Our investigation has found that your Selsebury family is not involved in illegal human smuggling, arms dealing, or the like, and that you have been relatively protective of the civilians on your territory."

"Admiral Borsalino has decided to give you a chance to control half of this island. I hope you will protect the civilians in the area from pirates."

Alice felt somewhat unable to distinguish between virtual and reality.

Her mind went blank because of what the handsome naval officer in front of her said.

There has never been a precedent for a Mafia family to cooperate with the Navy!

Furthermore, during Sakaski's tenure, the Selsebury family was constantly afraid of being purged.

The reason they haven't been purged is because they've always maintained restraint, only collecting protection money on a regular basis.

But would the Navy cooperate with him for this reason?

Alice was undecided, so she looked at her uncle, Rex, her father's capable assistant.

Although Rex was seriously injured and pale, his mind was still working at a rapid pace.

Cooperation with the Navy?

It was undoubtedly like trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin; he was well aware of the navy's strength.

However, if they don't cooperate with the Navy, given the commodore who is now smiling after killing all the members of the Maysfield family, the Selsbury family could very well become the next victim.
