In Garp's office aboard the warship, Garp groggily rose from his chair. His eyes were unfocused, and a snot bubble still clung to his nose.
Then Garp swayed over and opened his cabinet, only to find it completely empty.
As the snot bubble burst, Garp instantly woke up completely.
Where are my rice crackers?
Where are my rice crackers?
Who took my rice crackers? That was the last bag!
My rice crackers!
Garp's cries could be heard throughout the entire warship, so utterly miserable.
In his cabin, Mu Chen opened the system interface. Host: Adrian Muchen. Age: 19. Combat power: Rear Admiral candidate. Skills: Sharingan, Single Tomoe, Eight Gates.
Today's slacking check-in: 5 hours and 7 minutes. Slacking Points: 37,000.
Seeing his combat power, Mu Chen felt it was rather low. He was only at the Rear Admiral candidate level. Above that were Rear Admirals, Vice Admirals, Emperor Tier, and beyond Emperor Tier was King Tier. At the pinnacle of King Tier stood Mu Chen.
Among the known figures, there were probably only Pirate King Roger, Whitebeard, and Rocks.
As for Garp, Mu Chen guessed that his combat power had likely reached around King Tier. At the very least, he was infinitely close to King Tier. Otherwise, how could he have chased Pirate King Roger all over the seas back then?
The strongest, however, had to be Rocks. Back then, it took Pirate King Roger and Garp working together to take him down.
Looking at Mu Chen's skills again, he had exchanged not only for the Blood Sharingan, but also for the Eight Gates. The Eight Gates were an incredible ability, a powerful technique that had nearly kicked Naruto's ending into existence. Of course Mu Chen could not pass it up.
Furthermore, the Sharingan's Genjutsu was a rare ability even in this Pirate World, so he had to exchange for it.
Mu Chen had not been idle during this period either. He had found several powerful Rear Admirals aboard Garp's warship to test it on. In the end, he discovered that if Rear Admirals or stronger opponents were on guard, the Genjutsu simply would not work. Even when it did, it could not hold them in place for long.
Back when he was in the safe East Blue, Mu Chen had thought he could already be considered one of the Supernovas. But after seeing the powerful figures at Marine Headquarters, that naive notion vanished.
Still, there was nothing to fear now. He had gained plenty over the past half month. He could slack off for more than five hours every day, and with the Slacking Points he had saved before, he now had nearly 40,000.
Mu Chen then opened the system's exchange shop. Basic Armament Haki: 10,000 Moyu Points.
Basic Observation Haki: 10,000 Moyu Points.
Basic Conqueror's Haki: 50,000 Moyu Points.
Rumble-Rumble Fruit: 100,000 Moyu Points.
Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Nika: 660,000 Moyu Points. Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard Form: 40,000 Slacking Points.
After seeing the available exchanges, Mu Chen did not consider exchanging for a Devil Fruit at all. He was only interested in Haki.
The Devil Fruits in the system were actually linked to this Pirate World. Only Devil Fruits that had not been eaten by anyone could appear in the system. If one was exchanged from the system, that Devil Fruit would disappear from this Pirate World.
If it had been before, Mu Chen might have thought the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was pretty good. After all, it was known as the strongest Logia Devil Fruit.
As for the Rubber-Rubber Fruit, forget it. Although it later became the Sun God Nika, such a ridiculous fruit only suited Luffy. Some protagonist's fruit, and its exchange price was outrageously high. With a system already in hand, why eat a Devil Fruit? It was better to exchange for Conqueror's Haki. Once it was upgraded later, there would be Conqueror's Haki Infusion. He could still beat Devil Fruit users until they had no temper left.
Overlord Zen, Eight Gates—just thinking about fighting with them was exciting. Add the Sharingan's Genjutsu, and he could catch opponents completely off guard. If that was not enough, he could just activate Susanoo, an Armament Haki Susanoo.
Mu Chen continued scrolling down.
Ninjutsu: Basic Fire Release, exchange price: 10,000 Points.
Ninjutsu: Basic Water Release, exchange price: 10,000 Points.
There were many more Naruto ninjutsu afterward. Mu Chen was not all that interested in them. Though they were powerful and could clear out fodder enemies, they would struggle somewhat against powerful opponents who knew Haki.
Still, Mu Chen thought that if he learned ninjutsu of every attribute, would fighting not become interesting? His opponents would be utterly confused. What Devil Fruit did he eat?
He decided to keep looking. Mu Chen refused to believe there was nothing that interested him. There were simply too many items, and he was starting to suffer from choice paralysis.
Three Tomoe Sharingan: 15,000 Moyu Points. Third Gate of the Eight Gates, the Life Gate: 15,000 Slacking Points.
After choosing for a long time, he decided to upgrade his existing abilities. As for Haki, he could deal with it later. What if he learned it himself in the future? Would that not save him points?
After washing his face, Mu Chen activated it. In the next second, his Blood Sharingan changed directly from a Single Tomoe to Three Tomoe. Mu Chen could feel that he had grown considerably stronger.
Host: Adrian Muchen. Age: 19. Combat power: Rear Admiral candidate. Skills: Sharingan, Three Tomoe, Eight Gates, Opening, Rest, and Life Gates. Slacking Points: 7,000.
Mu Chen felt his combat power had improved. He felt he was just a little short of reaching Rear Admiral-level strength, but he had the Eight Gates. Surpassing Rear Admiral-level strength should be easy, right?
Just like that, 30,000 Slacking Points were gone. Mu Chen found it a bit regrettable. Ever since joining the Marines, he had never slacked off for more than five hours at a time. Normally, being able to slack off for three hours every few days was already the limit.
Mu Chen now wanted to stay on Garp's warship as a sailor forever. It was simply too good!
While slacking off, drinking Garp's fine wine, and eating Garp's rice crackers, Mu Chen suddenly heard that familiar shout from the deck: "Mu Chen!"
"Mu Chen, where are you, brat?"
"Get out here! No matter what, I'm going to beat you up today!"
