Chapter 3

"Doriki value detection is over, everyone follow me!"

The Doriki value test ended quickly. There were only three recruits who were most eye-catching.

The first was Karl, who currently had the highest Doriki value, followed by two Paramecia-type users, Ain and Binz, one with 401 and one with 451.

Karl, who learned that he was the highest in the venue, regretted it endlessly. If he had known, he would have just thrown a random punch. Now it was good; he had become a standout, and it was highly likely he would be extra focused on, increasing the difficulty of slacking off for no reason.

Ding! [Daily Task Released (Training Camp Phase)]: During daily training, accumulate 8 hours of slacking off. Reward: Designated Attribute Enhancement Card * 2, Random Extra Reward * 2.

"Holy crap, the daily rewards for the training camp are doubled?!" Karl could only sigh that it was indeed a career task!

"Ding! Friendly reminder, the current bound profession is Navy, and the rewards for career tasks and daily tasks will increase with the host's military rank."

"Please correct your attitude, host; slacking off is not giving up!"

This was true. For Karl, slacking off was just a means, and becoming stronger was the goal!

The horse-faced man Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, don't look at his always sleepy appearance, but when there is something to do, he really goes for it. This attitude of slacking off when he should and doing things when he should is very worth learning for Karl.

Even if Aokiji had always had this negative attitude after the Ohara incident, it did not affect Sengoku's appreciation for Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan when he was about to retire, and he even wanted to recommend him to succeed as the next Navy Fleet Admiral.

What a model of the slacking world! This is it!

It's just a pity that the World Government intervened, and he lost to the workaholic, so he quit the slacking world in despair.

Thinking of this, Karl couldn't help but think of the Holy Light Fruit he had just obtained. This fruit seemed especially suitable for him!

No, no rush. There are too many people now, and even if he wants to eat it, it's not now.

With a complicated mood, Karl followed the new recruit troop to the training ground, where Instructor Zefa had been waiting for a long time.

After everyone arrived, Zefa took the roster information from Shuzo's hand, glanced at it casually, put it aside, and shouted at them: "Attention!"

"I announce that the 24th Marine Training Camp has officially begun! Everyone look to the right, run 50 laps around this playground! Start now!"

With an order, all the recruits honestly started running laps around the playground.

Zefa took this opportunity to start studying each recruit's information, occasionally communicating with Shuzo. When he saw Karl's information, he couldn't help but ask.

"Eh~ the kid who was late just now is actually the strongest in this batch of recruits?"

"Master Zefa, yes, even I am very surprised. This pretty boy, no, this kid looks weak, but I didn't expect his strength to be quite good."

Zefa nodded and patted Shuzo on the shoulder: "Pay more attention to this kid for me, he still has potential to be tapped!"

On the track, Karl ran in the middle of the team with a bitter face. He swore that he was definitely slacking off, but the slacking time was not accumulating at all.

Karl was almost anxious to death. If this went on, he might not even be able to complete the daily tasks. Could it be that he had to fake illness to avoid training to count as slacking off?

But that wouldn't work either! This was not the military training of Karl's original world; faking illness was not that easy.

If he was exposed, given Zefa's attitude towards Kizaru, it was very likely that the relationship between him and Zefa would deteriorate, and it was not impossible for him to be expelled from the training camp!

After all, he was not Kizaru; that guy was a powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit user, while he was currently just a Marine with unremarkable talent.

An ordinary Marine who doesn't work hard to cultivate and only thinks about slacking off and avoiding training, and still wants to mess around at the Navy Headquarters?

"Detected that the host is in a slacking dilemma, time-limited task released, find a perfect way to avoid this training within 10 minutes."

Reward: Active skill [Weak and Fragile]: After using the skill, lifespan - 3 days, defense - 100%, injury probability + 1000%, and gain immunity to serious injury (immune to fatal injuries and their sequelae), lasting 3 minutes. PS: Can only be used once every three days."

Karl's eyes lit up instantly, feeling that life had hope again. It was worthy of being a slacking system, too thoughtful!

Slacking autonomy!

Although it required spending life, it was only three days, and it wasn't used often, not to mention that random rewards would give days of lifespan.

But the problem was, what method should he use to perfectly avoid this training?

"Tsk tsk~"

With only ten minutes, Karl suddenly felt great pressure. His eyes began to wander, and before he knew it, he saw Ain moving steadily in front. Got it!

It's decided to be you! Ain!

This girl's ability is the Reverse-Reverse Fruit. If Karl remembered correctly, her ability could make people "become smaller."

As long as he becomes a child, would Zefa have the heart to make a little kid run fifty laps?

The plan is perfect! Time to act!

Karl immediately accelerated, dashing to Ain’s side. He looked straight ahead, but the corner of his eye was fixed on Ain’s youthful figure. He smiled without showing his teeth: "Hey, Ain! Can you do me a favor?"

Ain, who was focused on running, turned her head. Karl was winking at her, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

Facing Karl’s handsome and bright smile, she was thin-skinned and didn't dare to meet his gaze directly.

She could only pretend to be nonchalant and replied shyly: "Hmm~ what do you want me to do?"

Yes! Karl cheered in his heart. Being handsome really pays off!

If he looked Move Move Like Foxy the Silver Fox, he probably wouldn't have a chance.

"Ain, I heard you are a user of the Reverse-Reverse Fruit. Can you let me see your ability?"

Ain frowned slightly and said in a difficult tone: "This, Brother Karl, does it have to be now?"

"Yes, yes, right now, try it on me! Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll take full responsibility!"

Karl patted his chest with a loud thud, afraid that Ain wouldn't believe him.

When Ain heard this, how could she agree? She knew her ability better than anyone! Once used on Karl, it would definitely turn him into a child. She absolutely could not do this to her colleague.

"No, no, no, I can't, Brother Karl, I absolutely cannot do that!"

After saying this, Ain immediately put some distance between them, her attitude very firm.

Karl, angry at his own incompetence, slapped his own face hard. Damn it, couldn't you have been born better-looking?

I'll give you a lesson this time. If there's a next time, don't even think about getting any face-cleansing milk for the rest of your life!

Plan A failed, no big deal, we still have Plan B!

Running to Ain’s side again, Karl whispered: "Ain, just let me see your ability, you don't have to use it on me, okay?"

Karl’s tone carried a hint of pleading, and he looked at Ain with pitiful eyes.

As time ticked by, Ain couldn't stand Karl’s gaze and sighed helplessly.

Under Karl’s watchful eyes, she extended her left hand. A deep pink glow emerged from her palm, flickering Move Move Like a flame, mysterious and eerie.

Now is the time!

A sharp glint flashed in Karl’s eyes. With lightning speed, his right hand grabbed Ain’s left hand and held on tight, refusing to let go.

After his body changed, Karl smiled slightly. The "touch-porcelain" plan was a success!

"This!"

Ain covered her mouth, stunned by Karl’s stunt, but she reacted quickly and immediately retracted her superpower.

But her ability took effect the moment it made contact; it was already too late to retract it.

Karl, now turned into a 14-year-old boy, tripped over his own pants and fell to the ground. The navy soldiers behind him couldn't dodge in time and were tripped by the falling Karl.

One after another, the commotion on the drill ground soon caught Zefa’s attention. After shouting at the recruits to stop running, he dashed to Karl’s side.

Zefa, his brow furrowed, looked at the comical boy hiding himself with oversized clothes and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"

"Reporting to the instructor, I asked Ain to demonstrate her ability just now. Out of curiosity, I touched it, and it ended up Move Move Like this..."

"How absurd!!! You are in training, not playing house! Ain, is being a devil fruit user so impressive? Do you have to show off in front of your colleagues?"

"I, I... it’s my fault, Instructor Zefa!"

Ain wanted to say something, but under Zefa’s stern gaze, she lowered her head in dejection, admitting her mistake and taking the blame for Karl.

"Hmph! What are you all still looking at? Don't you need to train? Keep running!"

"You two, come here!"

Zefa, his face full of anger, flicked his sleeves and walked away. Karl whispered to Ain: "I'm sorry, I will compensate you later!" ===== CHAPTER 16 =====
