Black Armament Haki coated the arms of the five.
This layer of Haki looked rather weak, but it was enough to tell at a glance that they were indeed true.
If Hina had a personal bias, she might lie for Luo Yu's sake.
But now, all five of them were testifying.
This probably wasn't a lie, was it?
To awaken Haki in five people within minutes…
They had never even heard of such a thing.
"Heh, you don't want to believe it, do you? I saw it with my own eyes. That little brat's strength isn't something you Rear Admirals can compare to," Crocodile said with a laugh.
Hearing this rare praise, Hina and the others couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.
Anyone who wasn't an idiot could tell the speaker was trying to provoke a conflict.
"Crocodile, shut your mouth!" Hina shouted urgently.
"Chaton, please don't take it to heart. Crocodile is just trying to sow discord and cause trouble for us in the Navy."
"Admiral Luo Yu has no other intentions."
Having been around Luo Yu for a while, Hina had of course figured out his way of doing things.
If she had to say what Luo Yu's life goal was, it was probably the legendary 9-to-5 job with weekends off!
To insist he had ambitions when he was such a high-level slacker was probably a stretch.
"Hina, don't worry, I wouldn't hold that against you. You were tricked by pirates," Chaton said with a dry chuckle, hands clasped behind his back.
"However, since your Haki was awakened personally by Admiral Luo Yu, shouldn't Admiral Luo Yu be the one in charge of escorting the Shichibukai?"
"It's already past noon. Why haven't you set off yet? Are you waiting for the Celestial Dragons' decision?"
"If that's the case, I advise you to give a reminder to the new Marine Admiral. Instead of anxiously waiting here for punishment, it would be better to complete the escort mission as soon as possible. Hopefully, you can make up for your mistakes and perhaps receive a lighter sentence!"
The adjutant following closely behind Chaton nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Their superior officer had lost so much face.
It was rare to regain some ground, so of course, they wouldn't hesitate to support him.
Hina and the others' expressions stiffened slightly as they looked at the secluded courtyard with its tightly closed door not far away.
Couldn't tell them I was all nervous and on edge for nothing!
It's the weekend today, so I got to sleep in!
Gion noticed the change in Hina's expression and frowned, her eyebrows furrowing. "Hina, on my way back, I heard some rumors about the new admiral. I heard that, like Kizaru and Aokiji, he has some special quirks."
"I heard he's really strict about work hours, something about a nine-to-five, and weekends off."
"If that's true, then today is a day off. You're not telling me the new admiral hasn't gotten out of bed yet, are you?"
Hasn't gotten out of bed yet?
Chaton's expression froze again. He really doubted if he'd eaten too much garlic last night. Why did he always manage to trip himself up with his words?
Normally, if someone beat up a Celestial Dragon, they should be on edge, filled with anxiety!
Who could sleep soundly, even abandoning their escort mission?
Hina and the others couldn't help but smile wryly.
Having a superior like that really caused them to gain several more gray hairs.
The incident of the Celestial Dragons being attacked had already caused a huge uproar.
After a night, they had scratched their heads raw, unable to come up with a solution.
Perhaps only Luo Yu could sleep peacefully.
Now, the only thing they could pray for was that Luo Yu would come up with a solution after waking up.
**Zzzt!**
The tightly shut courtyard gate creaked open.
Luo Yu, munching on a Roujiamo, took a swig of liquor , and swallowed it down with the sandwich. Looking at the unusually lively plaza, he was clearly a bit surprised, and said unclearly,
"Sorry about this, it's already noon. You guys probably already ate breakfast, right? I only prepared enough for myself, hope you don't mind!"
"Today's a day off. Unless there's something else, I'm planning to go for a stroll."
After saying this, Luo Yu turned around, Roujiamo still in his mouth, and headed towards the street.
Forget about colleagues, forget about missions, forget about the Celestial Dragons being attacked.
Clearly, all of that was tossed to the wayside.
Gion and Chaton were stunned, frozen in place.
Hearing about it is one thing.
Seeing it with your own eyes is another!
Nine-to-five workdays with weekends off!
This was something they had never even heard of in the Navy Headquarters.
They never expected that when they encountered it again, someone had already achieved it.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the first weekend attendance task as an Admiral, sleeping in on the rest day and obtaining a Silver Treasure Chest."
A clear, ethereal prompt suddenly sounded in Luo Yu's mind.
Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of surprise.
Indeed, following Garp to the Marine Headquarters to slack off was the smartest thing to do.
The higher the rank, the better the rewards and treatment.
It seems that if you want to be a salted fish, you have to be a high-class salted fish.
At least, a salted fish that can be flipped over and sunned on both sides will have unexpected surprises.
Originally, when Luo Yu had just become an admiral, he had planned to work and clock in for a whole month before earning a salary of five million Berries, enough to exchange for five Silver Treasure Chests and have a grand, lucky gamble.
He never expected that in just a week of clocking in, so many surprises would pop up.
Following this pace, Luo Yu believed that he wouldn't need three years, but only one year, for his strength to undergo a complete change.
He looked at the Silver Treasure Chests placed in his consciousness space.
Luo Yu, of course, didn't have the habit of saving treasure chests for the next day.
He had just beaten up a Celestial Dragon yesterday, and Luo Yu didn't know what would happen next. Naturally, he wanted to increase his strength as much as possible.
"System, immediately open the Silver Treasure Chest for me!"
"Ding-dong, please wait, Host..."
"Ding-dong, congratulations to the Host, the Silver Treasure Chest has been successfully opened. You have obtained the Talent of the Immortal Clan!"
A warm current quickly poured into Luo Yu's mind.
Everything about the Talent of the Immortal Clan was imprinted in his soul.
At this moment, Luo Yu suddenly felt a strange sensation.
It was as if not only the power flowing within him, but also the power circulating within the world, had become somewhat clear and visible.
It felt like with just a thought, he could draw upon the stray energy around him.
Most importantly, when he looked at the detailed explanation of the Talent of the Immortal Clan, Luo Yu was filled with surprise.
As expected, anything the system produced was a masterpiece!
