Devil Fruits? Not Even Dogs Would Eat Them

In Garp's office aboard the warship, Garp groggily rose from his chair. His eyes were unfocused, and a snot bubble still hung from his nose.

Then Garp swayed over and opened his cabinet, only to find it completely empty.

The moment the snot bubble burst, Garp became fully awake.

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 miserable cries could be heard throughout the entire warship.

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.

Mu Chen felt that his combat power seemed rather low. He was only at the Rear Admiral level. Above that were Vice Admirals, Admirals, Emperor Tier, and above Emperor Tier was King Tier. And standing at the pinnacle of King Tier was...

The known figures were probably Pirate King Roger, Whitebeard, and Rocks.

As for Garp, Mu Chen guessed that his combat power had probably 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 place back then?

The strongest was still Rocks. Back then, it had taken Pirate King Roger and Garp working together to take him down.

Looking at Mu Chen's skills again, he had not only exchanged for the Blood Sharingan, but also for Eight Gates. Eight Gates was an incredible thing, a powerful technique that had nearly kicked Naruto to its ending. Of course Mu Chen could not let it pass him by.

And Sharingan Genjutsu was also a rare thing in this Pirate World, so he had to exchange for it.

Mu Chen had not been idle during this time either. He had found several powerful Rear Admirals aboard Garp's warship to test it on. In the end, he discovered that if opponents above Rear Admiral level were on guard, Genjutsu would not work at all. Even if it did work, it would not hold them still for long.

Back in the safe East Blue, Mu Chen had thought he counted as a super rookie. But after seeing the powerful people at Marine Headquarters, that naive notion vanished.

But there was no need to fear now. He had gained quite a lot over the past half month. He could slack off for more than five hours every day, and together 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 items available for exchange, 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 tied to this Pirate World. Only Devil Fruits that nobody had eaten 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, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit would actually have seemed 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. What protagonist fruit? Its exchange price was outrageously high. With a system already in hand, why eat a Devil Fruit? Better to exchange for Conqueror's Haki. After upgrading it later, there would even be Conqueror's Haki Infusion, which could still beat Devil Fruit users until they had no temper left.

Conqueror's Haki Infusion and Eight Gates—just thinking about using them in battle was thrilling. Add Sharingan Genjutsu, and he could catch opponents off guard. If that still was not enough, he could directly activate Susanoo, an Armament Haki Susanoo.

Mu Chen continued scrolling down.

Ninjutsu, basic Fire Release: 10,000 Points.

Ninjutsu, basic Water Release: 10,000 Points.

There were also many Naruto ninjutsu further down. Mu Chen was not all that interested in them. Although these ninjutsu were powerful and could clear out cannon fodder, they would be somewhat lacking against powerful opponents who knew Haki.

Still, Mu Chen thought that if he learned ninjutsu of every attribute, would fighting not become more interesting? His opponents would probably be stunned. What Devil Fruit had he eaten?

He should keep looking. Mu Chen refused to believe there was nothing that interested him. There were simply too many things, and he was starting to have trouble choosing.

Three Tomoe Sharingan: 15,000 Moyu Points. Eight Gates, Third Gate, Life Gate: 15,000 Slacking Points.

After weighing his options, he decided to upgrade his existing skills instead. As for Haki, he would think about it later. What if he could learn 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 Single Tomoe to Three Tomoe. Mu Chen could feel that he had become much 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 that his combat power had improved. It seemed he was only a step away from reaching Rear Admiral-level combat power, but he had Eight Gates. Surpassing Rear Admiral level should be easy!

Just like that, 30,000 Slacking Points were gone. Mu Chen felt a little regretful, because since joining the Marines, he had never slacked off for more than five hours in one go. Normally, being able to slack off for three hours every few days was already the limit.

Mu Chen really wanted to remain a sailor aboard Garp's warship forever. It was simply too wonderful!

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 beating you up today!"
