The slow-moving boat traveled for three days straight. Although they were rushing back to the Navy Headquarters, this was the East China Sea. It would take at least half a month for them to make it back.
Naruto, who was not in a hurry, set the speed of the boat to maximum. He enjoyed the joy of sailing while chatting and joking with Nami and Keya.
However, the relationship between Nami and Sauron was not good. Either the algae head did it on purpose, or Nami could not stand this sloppy guy who liked to quarrel.
Nami often used Naruto as a shield, so Sauron could not do anything about it.
Keya, on the other hand, was more quiet. She liked to read and bask in the sun leisurely. Other than Naruto, no one dared to get close to this girl. If they made her cry, Naruto would really throw them into the sea to feed the sharks.
After so many days, the Navy understood Naruto's character very well. Korby, on the boat, had also gained Sauron's approval after several days of hard work to strengthen his physique.
"What's wrong? Can't you do it with this little bit of difficulty? You better lift it properly."
Sauron put one hand on the back of the katana at his waist and looked at Korby in front of him.
The latter was pressed down by a dumbbell to the point that he could barely breathe. He lay on the ground and held the dumbbell with both hands, but he could not even lift it by a centimeter. Well, only a muscular man like Sauron could come up with such a training method.
"Looks like you're still too inexperienced."
Sauron sighed. He walked up and picked up the dumbbell with one hand. This made Korby gasp for breath and his eyes widen. He gritted his teeth and said to Sauron with great vigor.
"Please, please let me try again."
Sauron chuckled at Korby's outburst. Grinning widely, he fetched a small dumbbell for Korby.
"Those two guys sure are in the mood to do something like this early in the morning."
Nami sat opposite Naruto, holding a cup of black tea and sipping it. Her expression was serene. Such a peaceful voyage was her dream.
Naruto smiled faintly as he ate the transplanted sweet oranges.
"Korby has great potential. If he were to be handed over to Sauron, he might really be able to train him up."
"Will the algae head really work?"
Nami glanced at Sauron. Indeed, she didn't put him in her eyes. In fact, the strongest person in her eyes was the person in front of her. She looked at Naruto with a sweet smile and said.
"Naruto, what do you think? Are there oranges in Bermel that can't be found anywhere else?"
Nami didn't allow anyone to touch the oranges on the orange tree, but one person was allowed to do so.
"It is indeed very sweet."
Naruto took a bite, and the refreshing sweetness rippled in his mouth. This kind of sweet but not greasy citrus was definitely one in a million.
Seeing Naruto's happy expression, Nami instantly understood that she was in line with Naruto's appetite. Her heart was filled with joy, and her face was full of smiles.
"Lieutenant Admiral, although I'm sorry to disturb you, but Hina has something to confirm with you."
Hina stood straight beside Naruto. Since Naruto was on Meryl, she had no choice but to follow him. Now she was completely integrated into Naruto's team.
Naruto looked at Hina and smiled faintly.
"Don't be so serious. How about you eat half of the Hina sauce?"
Naruto stood up gently and put the orange in front of Hina's mouth. Hina's cheeks were a little red, but she couldn't resist Naruto's kindness. She used her small mouth to gently bite the orange.
She inadvertently swallowed it. Hina felt that the orange haired girl in front of her was fiercely staring at her, like a snake's gaze.
"By the way, what did you just say?" Naruto didn't care. He looked at Hina and calmed down.
"Oh, it's about the route." Hina concealed her shyness, raised her head and said seriously.
"According to the route, Lieutenant Admiral, do you want to go to the restaurant on the sea? I heard that the chef there is very good. It will definitely be to your taste."
Hearing this name, Naruto instantly thought of Sanji. He didn't have a good impression of this guy, and he didn't want to accept him as a subordinate. But it was good to taste the food.
"Let's go to the restaurant on the sea first, and then leave the East China Sea."
"Yes." Hina answered, turned her head and waved her hand. Her voice was very crisp.
"Did everyone hear that? Change the direction and go to the restaurant on the sea."
Hearing that they were going to the restaurant, the crew of course were full of enthusiasm. Because according to Naruto's character, they would certainly enjoy the food.

The restaurant on the sea, Barati, was built on a large ship. It floated on the sea and provided food for people who had nothing to eat at sea.
The bow of the ship was shaped like a duck. It was very special.
After sailing for a day, Naruto's two ships finally arrived. The two ships docked at the shore, which made a lot of noise.
"Who is so ostentatious?"
The people who were eating were in a commotion and looked at the ships docked at the door.
The Marine's chess piece was obvious, but it made some people relieved. As long as it was not a pirate, they could still eat with peace of mind.
Naruto, wearing a coat, jumped and landed directly on the unfolded wooden board of the ship. His clothes moved and his feet landed on the ground steadily.
"Marine Admiral?"
Inside the room, a man who was pouring wine for a beautiful lady frowned and quickly put away the red wine. He apologized to the girl in front of him who was attracted by Naruto.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. I can't arrange the table for the beautiful lady."
The girl didn't seem to see that now she was all attracted by the young Marine Admiral Naruto, and she did not hide her curious eyes.
Blonde, with curly eyebrows and a cigarette in his mouth, Sanji quickly put away the red wine and glanced at Naruto, his heart was uncomfortable, he clenched his fist and muttered.
"When this guy came, all the girls looked at him. It's really angry. No, I'm not talking about this now."
Sanji looked at Naruto with jealousy and quickly turned around and hurriedly ran to the back of the kitchen as if there was something important.
Naruto was feeling the size of the ship. It can build a restaurant on the sea, and with Sanji, there must be something delicious.
