How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 120 Gold Combat Power
at the same time.

In the lord's mansion.

Gaza looked at the financial report in his hand with a frown on his face:

"Although we already have the aid funds provided by Mr. Gao Wen, there are many more places in the port that need money."

"Especially an arena large enough to hold tens of thousands of people."

"This alone accounts for more than 60% of Raven Harbor's funds, not to mention the need to expand the entire port, add a new commercial street, and renovate the original slums..."

"The key is that the sponsorship fees from other kingdoms will take at least another month to arrive, but my funding chain is about to be cut off!"

"Money! Money! Money! All money!"

For a while, Gaza felt extremely headache and even missed the time when it only needed to operate a port.

After all, the problems facing him at that time were not so big.

"but."

“No matter how difficult these things are, we must do them.”

"Otherwise, not only will I be left without food, but the civilians in the port will also be left without food, and Captain Gawain's plan will also be affected."

talking.

Gaza took a deep breath and prepared to mobilize all the few funds in the port, even using its own small treasury, to fill the shortage of funds in the port.

But when she put all of this together, she found that it could only sustain the port's consumption for a few days at most.

Think of this.

Gaza only felt a sharp pain in his brain, but at this moment...

boom!
The office door was pushed open.

Gaza turned around and saw Jasmine walking in excitedly:

"Miss, Mr. Gawain is back!"

"Is that so?! Then he should have bought the prizes he needed, right?"

Gaza's lips curled up into a smile. Hearing the news of Gawain's return, he felt more at ease even though the funding issue was still a headache.

After all, with Gawain's power, as long as he is in Raven Harbor, no pirate would dare to attack here.

Even the East China Sea Navy has to consider whether its combat power is sufficient before taking action.

Jasmine shook her head and said:

"That's not the point. The point is that Mr. Gawain also brought back a small boat!"

"Boat?!"

Jasmine nodded repeatedly:

"A ship loaded with so much treasure!"

"How many?!"

Gaza lights up:
"countless!"

The sound fell to the ground.

Before Jasmine could react, Gaza grabbed her hand and hurried towards the port.

soon.

A small boat loaded with gold, jewelry and antiques appeared before Gaza.

Countless people gathered around the boat, looking at the treasures, their eyes revealing tangible greed.

It was because on the small boat, countless gold and gems were emitting dazzling light, making it impossible for people to open their eyes, and they were unable to move their eyes away, let alone be unwilling to move their eyes away!

Even Gaza was stunned for a moment. Unlike Jasmine who only shouted about treasures, she could see the value of those treasures at a glance.

"Even with just a rough estimate, the value of these treasures exceeds one billion!"

"A billion?!"

Jasmine was stunned and asked:

"How much is that?!"

"More than four Mr. Gawain!"

Gaza looked at the treasure on the ship, then looked at Gawain in confusion:

"Mr. Gao Wen, weren't you attending the auction? Why did you come back with more money?"

Gao Wen was too lazy to explain and said calmly:
"I met some good people. They took off their belts and wanted to sponsor the martial arts conference. I couldn't stop them."

Gaza immediately realized what was going on and twitched his mouth:
"Then they are really... good people."

but.

Gaza had 100% trust in Gawain's style, and did not believe that this man would do anything sinful.

The key is that with some treasures, you don’t have to worry about funds for the martial arts tournament, shipyard, and even the subsequent port renovation!

"With this money, the project can be progressed faster!"

"We can even try to spread the word about the martial arts tournament to all corners of the world and even the Grand Line!"

Gaza immediately opened up his mind, overturned the original plan, and began to imagine a grander blueprint.

Gao Wen did not care about these things. He handed the treasures to Gaza to cash in, and then used them as funds to invest in the research of the martial arts conference.

After giving Gaza a few more instructions, Gawain took the wooden box containing the Bone Bone Fruit and left. He now had more important things to do.

With the influx of a large amount of funds, the Raven Harbor, which had been stagnant, has become active again. Busy workers are walking around, and smiles appear on their faces again.

Even Gaza couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

After joining the Gawain Pirates, she had an increasingly obvious feeling that as long as this man was there, there was nothing she couldn't do!
From defeating Creek's fleet alone at the beginning, to later killing the pirates of the Grand Line!
One after another.

One by one.

What seemed impossible to him was as light as a feather in the hands of this man.

"When will I be able to possess such power?!"

Gaza looked at the pile of financial reports at hand and couldn't help but sigh, but the answer was already in his mind:
"Only an invincible force can have the absolute belief to suppress and conquer everything!"

"What was born from this is what I saw in Mr. Gawain..."

“A sense of calm!”

talking.

Gaza suddenly tightened his grip on the long knife at his waist.

Then I remembered.

Ever since the last incident, I have been focusing on the martial arts tournament and have been slacking off for a long time.

"Only strength is the foundation!"

"I have to pick up the practice I put aside before again!"

"After all." "I also want to see how far I can go in the martial arts tournament!"

"Can I win the crown too?!"

The boiling thoughts in her heart made her grip on the sword tighten. She turned to Jasmine beside her and said:
"Jasmine, after dealing with these treasures, first pay off our overdue payments for goods, and then the workers' salaries!"

"The remaining part will be recorded in the account, and I will make all the arrangements later!"

"Okay, miss."

Jasmine nodded, and then she found that Gaza was walking away slowly with the long knife in his hand.

Among the thin figures.

There are many other things.

"Miss……"

……

Time flies.

It's getting late at night.

On the hillside behind Raven Harbor, two figures, holding wooden swords tightly in their hands, were sparring with each other.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
……

in the air.

For a moment, all that could be heard was the sound of wooden swords colliding. The swinging bamboo swords rolled up the surrounding fallen leaves, which danced wildly in the air, and were then cut off by the wooden swords even faster.

The two people who kept fighting with swords were Nami and Gaza.

Because there is a big gap between their own strength and the cadres of the Gawain Pirates, and because they are both women, the two naturally become the most suitable training partners.

They had been practicing together for a period of time before, but recently Gaza was busy with the affairs of Raven Harbor, so they separated.

Snapped!
Gaza seized the opportunity and knocked the bamboo sword out of Nami's hand with one knife, and then put the tip of the knife against Nami's throat.

"Nami, I win this time!"

Gaza looked down at him with a faint smile on his face. Nami's eyes were gleaming with stubbornness, and she showed no sign of weakness:

"I can't let Mr. Gawain down!"

"Come again!"

As she said this, she grabbed the wooden sword on the ground and slashed at Gaza in front of her.

soon.

There was another series of rain-like crashing sounds in the air. There were no sparks, but it scared away countless birds and beasts.

Practice till now.

The swordsmanship of the two has basically reached the advanced level, and ordinary pirates are basically no match for them.

If Gaza used his abilities, he would not be much weaker than Zangao.

But they all knew that such strength was still too weak to keep up with Gawain's pace. It was so weak that it was even of no value, so they practiced even harder!
"Hey, Nami, I want to see how far we can go in the martial arts tournament!"

Gasha spoke his thoughts. Nami was slightly stunned and put away the bamboo sword in her hand:

"Then let's go and give it a try!"

"it is good!"

Then the two of them held their swords and rushed towards each other with determined eyes. There was another sound of wooden swords colliding in the air.

It was not until late at night that the two dragged their exhausted bodies back to Raven Harbor.

……

at the same time.

Gao Wen sat in his room, waiting for the system to settle the account.

soon.

The familiar system prompt sounded in Gawain's mind.

"Physical experience +741!"

"Swordsmanship experience +583!"

……(slightly)
"Zoo Devil Fruit Experience +60"

……

As another wave of experience was absorbed, a familiar panel appeared in front of Gawain:

】

"In half a month, my swordsmanship and physique have gained more than 10,000 experience points."

"Has the combat power finally reached gold?"

Looking at the conspicuous word "gold" in the rating column, Gao Wen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a smile.

From the day he left Raven Harbor to now, almost half a month has passed, and all the data have shown a significant increase.

Among them, swordsmanship, physique, death ladle and red dragon fruit have been improved by one level respectively, sniping has been improved by two levels, and the observation Haki has reached LV-4.

If you take your Observation Haki one step further, you can awaken new exclusive entries like physique and swordsmanship.

This is also what Gao Wen is most looking forward to.

After all, the advanced ability of Observation Haki shown in the original work is actually much rarer than Armament Haki.

But each of them has great value, especially the ability of Katakuri to predict the future that he once demonstrated in the original work, which is like a BUG in battle.

Although it was patched by Red Hair's Observation and Killing in the later period, its powerful practical value is still undeniable.

At least for Gao Wen now, it is like adding wings to a tiger.

"Nowadays, the daily gain of Observation Haki is about 80 points."

"Although there will be some fluctuations every day due to the different conditions of Clo and Ajin, the general data is similar."

"According to this calculation, in about forty days, my observation Haki will be able to reach level five."
