Bountiful Harvest

After laughing heartily, Beiyuan Heng's mindset gradually returned to calm as he looked at the panel again.

[Name: Beiyuan Heng]

[Occupation: CP9 Agent]

[Traits: Toughness (White), Little Glutton (White), Swordsmanship Basics (White), Great Strength (Green), Agility (Green), Perseverance (Green), Genius (Blue), Six Powers Peak (Blue), CP9's Strongest Genius (Limited)]

[Draws Remaining: 1]

[Strength] had become [Great Strength], further improving his physical power.

[Swiftness] had also advanced into [Agility]. His movement speed and reaction speed had improved further, while allowing him to move more flexibly.

His occupation had finally changed as well, from "Agent Trainee" to "CP9 Agent." He could now be considered officially part of the system rather than a temporary worker.

Moreover, because his occupation had changed once, Beiyuan Heng had gained an opportunity to draw a trait.

His trait, [Little Glutton (White)], had been drawn when he first entered the North Blue training base and acquired his occupation.

[Little Glutton (White)]: You enjoy eating and consume somewhat more food than ordinary people. Your eating efficiency increases, you eat more, and you absorb energy from food more easily.

It was not as though Beiyuan Heng had never considered displaying an extraordinary appetite in order to advance this trait.

But in the world of One Piece, practically everyone was a huge eater.

Only after obtaining this trait had Beiyuan Heng's appetite become comparable to those people's, let alone enough to advance it.

There was no need to say much about [Genius (Blue)] and [CP9's Strongest Genius (Limited)]. Both his upper and lower limits of strength had been raised considerably.

He felt that every day, he became stronger than he had been the day before.

His gaze fell to the bottom of the panel, where he had one opportunity to draw a trait.

[Little Glutton (White)] had improved him considerably. It allowed him to absorb the energy within food in a short time, indirectly helping him master Life Return.

"What will I draw this time?"

Beiyuan Heng took a deep breath and focused his thoughts on the number of draws.

There was no flashy lottery interface. The "1" displayed on the panel gradually faded, replaced by a "0."

[Draws Remaining: 0]

A new change appeared in the trait section.

[Basking in Spring Breeze (Green)]: Every action you take gives off an approachable air. When dealing with others, they will instinctively feel favorable toward you and find it easier to believe what you say.

"Basking in Spring Breeze..."

Beiyuan Heng frowned.

"This trait doesn't seem very useful..."

Although he was in an intelligence organization, this was not a conventional spy agency. They handled the dirtiest and most exhausting work. When would he ever need to deal with people?

Beiyuan Heng shook his head and looked at himself in the mirror. There seemed to be an additional trace of gentleness between his brows.

After thinking for a while, Beiyuan Heng left the cabin and came to the warship's deck.

"Beiyuan Heng."

A clear female voice sounded from behind him.

He turned around and saw that it was Kalifa, with her golden hair.

"What is it?"

Seeing the puzzled look Beiyuan Heng gave her, Kalifa's face reddened slightly as she said,

"It's nothing. I just feel like you seem a little different today..."

Beiyuan Heng's mouth twitched. "Maybe you're imagining it."

With that, he continued toward the deck.

On the deck, Lucci, Kaku, and the other CP9 members were training.

The training consisted of the most basic Six Powers techniques, and Laskey was their instructor.

Beiyuan Heng had finished his training long ago. He had even started training early that morning.

However, Lucci seemed to have been provoked somehow and kept asking Beiyuan Heng to spar with him.

Beiyuan Heng was naturally willing.

No matter how strong Lucci was, it could not change the fact that he had lost to Beiyuan Heng.

The stronger Lucci became, the more it highlighted Beiyuan Heng's strength.

This kind of training had continued for several days, and its drawbacks were gradually beginning to show.

The food on the ship was about to run out!

On this Marine warship, aside from Laskey, the commanding officer, the only people who had mastered Life Return were Beiyuan Heng, Lucci, and Kumadori.

Kumadori mainly used Life Return to control his hair, so his energy consumption was not particularly high.

But for people like Beiyuan Heng and Lucci, who sparred every day, the energy they consumed could only be replenished through food.

Their stomachs were like bottomless pits, with baskets upon baskets of food being poured into them.

Just before the food was completely depleted, they arrived at Enies Lobby.

Enies Lobby, the court directly under the World Government.

Though it was called a court, it actually acted solely according to the World Government's will. Anyone brought to Enies Lobby had already been deemed a criminal. In its eight-hundred-year history, it had never issued a verdict of not guilty.

Criminals would only be escorted through those deserted courtrooms before eventually arriving at a cold, enormous iron gate: the Gates of Justice. Those who passed through it generally never returned, making it a symbol of the World Government's absolute justice.

There was also a Tower of Justice on the island. Its interior was extremely complex, filled with many secret passages, as well as the offices of CP9 members and a council hall.

It could be said that this was the headquarters of the Cipher Pol department.

Although Enies Lobby was nominally a department parallel to Cipher Pol and belonged solely to the World Government, it was more like an affiliate of Cipher Pol.

Its duty of judging criminals was more like a secondary responsibility.

Led by Laskey, the CP9 team passed through the underwater passage beneath the Bridge of Hesitation, bypassed the courthouse at the rear, and arrived directly at the Judicial Tower.

Judicial Tower, CP9 council hall.

Spandine sat in the stone chair that symbolized the commander of CP9.

Beside him stood someone who looked extremely similar to him.

That was his son, Spandam.

Ever since participating in the Ohara incident, Spandine had wanted his son to take over his work.

However, Spandam truly lacked ability. Only through considerable connections had he barely climbed to the position of CP5 commander.

After leading the new generation of CP9 into the council hall, Laskey returned to stand behind Spandam in silence.

"Welcome, everyone!"

With every CP9 member he saw, the smile on Spandine's face grew broader.

These talented people would become the core team he left behind for his son in the future...

"Ahem, let me introduce myself. My name is Spandine..."

He coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to himself, then changed the subject and patted Spandam beside him.

"This is my son, Spandam, the current commander of CP5..."

Lucci, Kaku, and the others looked confused.

What did the commander of CP5 have to do with them...?

Beiyuan Heng, however, knew exactly what kind of people those two were and did not pay them any attention at all.

Seeing that no one responded, Spandine's face reddened, and he decided not to continue introducing his son to them.

"Honestly, Laskey is so sensible. How can this bunch of brats not understand anything?"

"I should just let Spandam approach them privately."

"You've rested enough during the past few days on the ship, haven't you?" He pulled a document from a drawer, took out the confidential report inside, and said, "A new mission requires the government to uphold justice."
