Lord Imu, King of Tennis!

"You know me, but I know nothing about you. Isn't that a little unfair?" Gion teased, looking down at Stussy.

"Judging from this mission, we'll be spending a lot of time together in the future, and you'll learn what you need to know." The other implication of Stussy's words was clear: you shouldn't know anything that's not your business.

Gion didn't care about this and continued to look at the tennis court in front of her. She was thinking about how to play tennis, but the next second she looked up and her beautiful eyes turned to the three figures that came out of Pangaea Castle.

Two of the maids, dressed in black and white dresses, were simply ignored.

They focused their attention on the leader, a young man with black hair and black Kurome who wore a white top hat, white shirt, white trench coat, white trousers, and white leather boots from head to toe.

"Could he be Saint Nerona? But this outfit..." Gion tilted her head and whispered in confusion.

She'd seen Celestial Dragons before; they all combed their hair high up, with the ends curled up intentionally, which looked particularly funny.

Her attire was even more bizarre: a baggy white coat and round bubbles on her head.

To be honest, she almost burst out laughing when she first met Celestial Dragons, but luckily she managed to hold it in, otherwise she might have really gotten into trouble.

Compared to him, well, she thought this guy was quite handsome, and she couldn't see a trace of Celestial Dragons style in him.

This is also related to the fact that Gion has never met the Five Elders. If they had, they would know that high-ranking Celestial Dragons would never dress up so ridiculously.

Although Stussy was also sizing up the other person, his expression was more respectful and cautious, unlike Gion's blatant approach.

Because she had witnessed far more of the Celestial Dragons' terrifying nature than Gion.

"Your Excellency Saint Nerona, I am Stussy of CP9, and I will be your personal bodyguard for the foreseeable future."

Gion seeing Stussy finish his self-introduction, Gion followed suit, stating his name and identity. Meanwhile, Imu was also observing the two of them.

His first impression wasn't that she was beautiful. After all, he had seen plenty of beautiful women in his previous life, so he wouldn't be stunned by her beauty, or rather, their appearances weren't that striking.

Perhaps, this is a possibility for Hancock and Princess Shirahoshi in the future.

Compared to each other, the height difference between the two is more eye-catching. Gion is estimated to be nearly three meters tall, while Stussy is estimated to be 1.8 meters tall. When they stand together, the latter's head only reaches the former's waist.

However, they both have excellent body proportions and each has their own unique features. One is blonde with a black dress, exuding Western sexiness and charm, while the other is in pink with black hair and a soft face, embodying the gentle and graceful charm of an Eastern woman.

He is about two meters tall, and he is very satisfied with this height.

Two meters tall in this world is equivalent to 1.8 meters in his previous life, which is quite perfect. Any taller would seem exaggerated and strange to him.

He wouldn't be happy if you gave him the standard height of a Navy Admiral!

Therefore, between Gion and Stussy, Imu personally prefers the latter, at least she doesn't have to look up when she speaks.

Do you play tennis?

After a brief introduction, Imu walked to the racket racket, picking out rackets while casually asking questions.

Because he was now using a second identity, his expression was no longer so cold and ruthless, but rather more gentle, though he still gave off a cold and arrogant feeling.

"No." Gion shook her head.

"I've learned a little, but I haven't played in a long time," Stussy said with a slight smile.

"Really? Then you and I will play a few balls. Rear Admiral Gion will watch from the sidelines first. I believe you'll understand after watching for a while." Imu selected his racket and walked onto the court, casually picking up a tennis ball from the ball bucket.

He doesn't actually play very often, but with his super memory and absolute control over his body, he should be able to become proficient very quickly.

Imu had considered other sports, such as basketball, football, table tennis, and badminton, but the first two required too many people, and the latter two didn't feel strong enough. With his current powerful physique, he wouldn't be satisfied. He also heard that Gion and Stussy were chosen as his attendants, so he immediately decided to play tennis.

Okay~

Stussy didn't take the Saint Nerona's tough orders to heart; in her view, this was just how Celestial Dragons were, or rather, this attitude was already quite good.

However Gion had a slight objection, saying, "Saint Nerona, don't you need guards because you're going on a trip?"

She felt she wasn't there to play games with the other person; wouldn't it be better to use that time to practice her Swordsmanship?

"The car for our trip isn't ready yet. Before that, let's get to know each other and play some tennis together. That's your job."

Imu didn't care about Gion's resistance at all. If she insisted on not playing ball with him, he would just order the Five Elders to send someone else instead. What use was she if she couldn't even do something this simple?

As he spoke, he walked to one end of the court, gently tapped the tennis ball on the grass, and looked at Stussy, who was ready to play at the other end with his racket.

To be honest, playing tennis with a beautiful female agent in a black miniskirt and black stockings was a somewhat interesting experience, which excited Imu had been bored for too long.

Finally, something to do!

The next moment, Imu slowly raised his right hand, gently tossed the tennis ball in his palm up, then bent his knees, arched his back, jumped up, and swung the racket in his right hand.

His entire serve was very fluid and seamless, showing no signs of being an amateur. However, since it was his first serve, he used most of his power.

First, they were worried that using too much force would send him flying out of the arena; second, they wanted to avoid killing Stussy on the spot; and third, they didn't want to cause too much damage.

After all, he just wanted to have some fun.

[Swish--]

Despite this, his racket swing became a blur, and with a loud bang, the tennis ball transformed into a yellow beam of light that streaked across the net, with visible shockwaves spreading outwards along its trajectory.

"Bang!!"

Stussy had no time to react. The beam of light struck the field not far away, sending up large chunks of broken grass, and the surging wind made his blond hair dance wildly.

This scene startled Gion so much that she swallowed back the question she was about to ask, staring blankly at the yellow tennis ball emitting white smoke in the crater.

"So strong!"

Both she and Stussy on the field were stunned by the shot Imu hit. They never expected that a Celestial Dragons under their protection could have such power.

"It seems I need to use a little less force."

Standing on the other side of the court, Imu shook his head in dissatisfaction at the scene. He had used too much force; he wanted to have a more normal tennis match with Stussy.

"I'll serve a few more balls, see which one you can return."

"Uh, okay!"

Stussy smoothed his wind-blown bangs, finally settling into a serious expression. He pondered who this Saint Nerona really was, thinking to himself, "No wonder he was chosen as the successor to the Five Elders; he's truly different from ordinary Celestial Dragons!"

The next second, Imu served again, but this time the ball speed was much 'normal'. Although it was still comparable to lightning, it was enough for Stussy to reach the landing point and barely manage to hit it back.

Stussy rubbed her hands, which were numb from the ball's impact, and said coquettishly, "Saint Nerona, be gentler~~ I can't take it~~"

What's going on? So many people are suddenly giving me tips! I'm a little confused, but I'm really touched. I didn't expect so many people to like this book. Before, I thought it was going to flop because of the low number of favorites and poor data.
