"..."

When Xia Che regained consciousness, he discovered that he had been promoted again and had also received the reward for this promotion—a powerful advancement skill.

That's right, legitimate companies offer very generous benefits!

He only got promoted once, and he immediately gave me the advanced techniques for the three colors of Haki. He's not stingy at all.

Although he hadn't used it yet, Xia Che could already feel that his domineering aura should be even stronger.

As for why he was promoted this time...

It must have been that his fight with Kuzan changed or propelled something that led to his 2000 sales performance, which earned him a company reward and a promotion with a raise.

Perhaps what we call fate is constantly changing!

Xia Che looked at his job title, "Level 3 Chief Clerk," and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Sudden.

"Is he awake yet?"

A familiar, gentle, and intellectual voice came from above.

That's right, from above.

Exhausted from a whole night's work, Xia Che felt the warm, tight touch coming from under his head and slowly opened his eyes. What came into view was the full, rounded breasts unique to women from the sea and the unique charm of a mature woman in her nose.

Shachet stood up habitually, stretched, and looked at Robin, who was leisurely reading a book as if nothing had happened, and asked, "Where's that guy?"

In the end, that guy showed absolutely no martial ethics and started beating people with his Frost Fist, which was quite brutal.

Xia Che even felt that the guy was putting in even more effort than he had initially intended to test his true strength.

A dignified admiral actually came to beat up a pitiful and helpless naval captain like himself!

If it weren't for my decent Armament Haki and fast dodging speed, I probably would have lost face in front of everyone.

Finally, as dawn was approaching, it seemed that continuing the fight was pointless, or perhaps he was tired, so he yawned while chanting the so-called "lazy justice," and stopped, indicating that he wanted to rest.

As for treating everyone...

They're already exhausted, how could there be any more?

Stop dreaming!

Let that guy obediently go back to Marine Headquarters to get reimbursed!

Although renewing the contract was a bit tough, the rewards were huge, and I even received Robin's secretary as a lap pillow as a reward.

Indeed, fighting against strong opponents is the fastest way to improve one's strength.

If it were Teacher Kai, he probably wouldn't even need to use any domineering advancement techniques.

Under Teacher Kai's one-on-one instruction, he may have already learned a more advanced way of using domineering aura.

Of course, there are also shortcomings, such as...

Xia Che looked at his third-generation Onikiri and stroked his chin.

Perhaps if I were to switch to a sword made of sea stone, my swordsmanship and eleventh move would be able to unleash even greater power?

"They left the 16th Marine Branch this morning, I think they went to Cocoyasi Town." Looking at Shacher who was deep in thought, Robin turned a page of her book, as if nothing had happened, her face still bearing that mature and intellectual smile. "Because the notification was timely, the 16th Marine Branch and the Konom Islands did not suffer much damage, and life has already begun to return to normal this morning. There were some pirates who tried to escape in the chaos, but they have been dealt with."

"..."

Xia Che nodded, sighing inwardly. It seemed that during his rest, Robin had already made arrangements for the 16th Marine Branch and the Konom Islands.

really……

Having a personal secretary is so great!

At this time.

Just as Xia Che was lost in thought again.

"Dear Boss~"

Miss Robin's voice rang out again.

All I saw was...

Robin, who had been quietly reading, suddenly closed her book, her elegant and intellectual smile vanishing, replaced by a serious expression. After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth slightly and said, "Doesn't the BOSS have anything to say to me?"

Looking directly at Xia Che with hesitant and self-reproachful eyes, she lowered her head again.

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't keep my promise to you!"

only.

The words had barely left his mouth.

"What did I say to you? Deduct my salary? Cough cough cough, right, you better reflect on this!"

"..."

The boss, Shacher, answered without hesitation, which stunned Robin, but then that familiar smile appeared on his face.

That's right, Dande Shacher.

Her BOSS~

That's it.

Robin nodded with a smile, "Okay, Boss~, I will reflect on this carefully this time."

however.

"Looks like you haven't reflected enough!" Seeing Robin suddenly laugh again, Shache's expression turned serious. "You can still laugh?"

"???"

Before the stunned Robin could say anything...

The boss in front of me said with a serious expression, "If there's a next time, not only will your salary be deducted!" He glanced down, "but you'll also be severely punished. As your boss, I'll make sure you get what's coming to you!"

"..."

Hearing Xia Che's words, Robin snapped out of her daze and couldn't help but chuckle. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked up at Xia Che with a serene smile, saying earnestly, "I don't know how anymore. I've given everything to the BOSS!"

The voice just fell.

Just as Xia Che, who was still stunned, was about to say something...

"Click~"

The door was opened.

"Robin, is that guy awake yet?" Nami strode in, a complaining tone on her face. "He has some very important things to deal with! And that Marine Admiral..."

As she was speaking, Nami suddenly stopped and looked inside with a puzzled expression, as if she sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

She blinked in confusion, glanced at Xia Che, who looked righteous, then at Robin, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, and asked suspiciously, "What... were you doing in there?"

"The BOSS..."

"Not yet! Cough cough cough!" Xia Che interrupted Robin, who was about to say something, looked at Nami in front of him, coughed twice, and said with a righteous expression, "By the way, what did you just say? The Marine Admiral, what happened to that guy again?"

"Something feels off, it's really strange! Oh well, you're already up!" Hearing Xia Che's words, Nami pouted and muttered a couple of times, then looked at Xia Che, seemingly remembering why she had come in, and said, "Oh, right, that Marine Admiral..."

only.

He hadn't finished speaking.

Behind.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from Nami's side.

"Yo~" Kuzan stood next to Nami, acting all familiar, waving his hand and saying in a lazy voice, "I'm back again! Also~"

As he spoke, he stepped aside, revealing a figure behind him. "I also brought your partner. No need to thank me! If you really want to thank me, well, there's nothing I can do about it."

The words were spoken.

Shache also looked at the figure behind Kuzan.

"???"

What's this guy doing here?

It was a girl wrapped in a thick blanket, with a runny nose and disheveled blue hair. Upon seeing him, she exclaimed excitedly, "Colonel Shacher, I've finally met you!"
