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

Chapter 122: After All, They Are Just Pirates

"Once he passes this test, there will be a smooth road ahead."

Listening to the prompt in his mind, Gawain couldn't help but sigh, then turned to look at Clo beside him and said jokingly:

"This time."

"You should be worried about whether you will be surpassed by Ajin?"

"he?"

Clo's mouth curled up slightly and shook his head:

"Even if he's given ten years, he still can't catch up with me!"

"is it?"

Gawain remained calm and sat back in his original seat. Cloe felt bored and turned away as well.

inside the room.

It was quiet for a moment.

Gawain sat in his seat, his eyes fixed on a brand new newspaper at hand that still smelled of ink.

The front page headlines of the newspapers listed the recent major events that shocked the world. The general content was as follows:
"The former Shichibukai Hanafza was defeated and killed in the attack on Rogue Town, and was replaced by the tyrant Bartholomew Bear, who had a bounty of 296 million berries."

Below the title is a photo of two photos side by side.

The former is Hanafza who is confirmed dead.

The latter is Bartholomew the Bear, who is holding a book with "BIBLE" on the cover in one hand. His expression cannot be seen clearly because of his glasses, but his physique is even stronger than Hanafza.

Looking at the unusually tall and stern-looking bear in the photo, Gao Wen fell into deep thought for a moment.

He had originally guessed that after Hanafza's death in battle, he would be able to defeat Hanafzai with his potential, combat effectiveness and the impression he had left in the past.

There is a high probability that the vacancy of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will fall on him, but he did not expect that history would eventually bring everything back to its original track.

Comparing his own growth rate, Gao Wen showed a playful smile on his face:

"World Government~"

"If you don't hurry up and invite me in, in a year or two, you'll probably have to call me the Four Emperors."

After saying that, Gao Wen put down the newspaper in his hand.

He grabbed Guanze Masamune from the table, disappeared from the room, and found a random seat at the back of the port.

He drew out his sword and began to practice his Armament Haki.

After counting the breaths.

Zheng——!
The sword energy with armed color domineering shot out from Gawain's hand, cutting down several passing seagulls, and then disappeared at the end of the sight.

……

……

……

Navy Headquarters.

Zhan Guo looked at the document in his hand, frowning for a moment.

"The candidate for Shichibukai that we submitted was rejected outright by that person, and the person he personally recommended was Bartholomew-Kuma."

He put down the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment, and nodded:

"indeed."

"In terms of both power and reputation, Tyrant Bear is superior to Knight Gawain. The World Government's choice is justified."

"Besides, according to the information we have obtained, Bartholomew Bear is probably a descendant of the Bakanni tribe, and is born with a strong physique far beyond that of ordinary people."

"Borsalino once told me that Vegapunk is conducting research on human cloning and has even made clear progress. I guess this is a factor involved."

"Once his research is complete, the Shichibukai can be replaced at any time."

"Depending on the situation, the results will be available in five or six years at most."

"Ah."

Zhan Guo responded, and then his eyes fell on a bounty notice at hand. Looking at the overly young face on it, he said:

"Then Knight Gawain cannot be left alone."

"The speed of his growth now even reminds me of Kaido back then."

"Equally young, equal dragon abilities, the only difference is that Knight Gawain is not as violent as Kaido."

"But this sea cannot accommodate two dragons fighting each other!"

talking.

An uncontrollable coldness emerged in Zhan Guo's eyes.

He has spent decades and put in countless efforts to create the current situation of deterrence balance among the three major forces of the Navy, the Four Emperors, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

No one is allowed to break it.

For a new pirate like Knight Gawain, who has unlimited potential at first glance, it is better to lock him up in Impel Down.

Crane has the same attitude.

She has been chasing Doflamingo for many years, and she knows very well that if these villains are left alone, they will eventually become evil dragons that will choose their prey.

He said calmly:

"Let Zefa handle this matter. He happens to be recovering in Rogue Town. The only problem may be that the crusher is damaged. It will take some time to not only rebuild it, but also optimize it to solve the original problem."

"We can afford to wait for this little while."

"Besides, even if something goes wrong with Zephyr, Garp has said before that he will go back to the East China Sea to deal with some personal matters."

"Private matter..."

Zhan Guo realized what was going on instantly, and his mouth twitched slightly:
"I guess it was aimed at his grandson."

"The new guy called Ace the Fire Fist?"

"Well, a natural ability user, according to the information we have obtained, is suspected to have awakened the Conqueror's Haki..."

"This……"

He was speechless for a moment. When Sengoku mentioned Ace, his face became tense:

"no!"

"Will he be able to take care of the child?!"

"If I can train this kid for a few years, his future will be limitless. It's even possible for him to take over from Sakaski and the others and become the new general!"

"I heard he has a grandson. I have to keep an eye on him so he doesn't get lost again..."

...at the same time
Rogue Town.

Ain and Binz hurried into Zefa's ward with an investigation report on the civil unrest in the Kingdom of Goa.

"Teacher Zefa, based on the intelligence we have collected, we have basically reviewed the entire process of the coup in the Kingdom of Goa, but the biggest inducement among them..."

talking.

Ian hesitated, and Binz beside him spoke directly:

"The Gawain Pirates' Hyakuke Kro and the demon Akin teamed up to attack the Goa Kingdom's palace, killed the former king Stelly on the spot, and reached some kind of agreement with the current king, Outluk III."

"Neither party initiated a conflict, and they even teamed up to conceal the incident."

Zefa's face turned cold instantly. He took the investigation report from Binz and read it carefully.

The ward fell silent for a moment, with only Zefa's increasingly solemn expression and the rustling of flipping papers as the sounds.

a long time.

Zefa snapped the report in his hand shut, his eyes already showing some anger:

"Because a few guards who offended the king were executed, he allowed his subordinates to attack the king, causing the entire country to almost fall into war."

As he spoke, Zefa couldn't help but think of what Smoker had said before.

Originally, he had some curiosity and affection for the knight Gawain. After all, he had fought on the sea for many years and had seen many special pirates. Whitebeard and Roger were typical examples.

But after learning about this, Zefa was extremely disappointed with Gawain.

"After all, they are just pirates..."

"As expected, the final destination of the pirates is to be imprisoned in Impel Down."

The sound fell to the ground.

Zefa turned to look at Ain beside him and said calmly:

"How long will it take for the brand new crusher to be delivered?!"

"Because it will take at least two months to analyze the data and make optimizations."

"Is this so..."

Zefa frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with the time.

But he also knew that customizing a weapon for himself would take time, even for scientists within the Navy.

After pondering for a moment.

Zefa fixed his gaze on Ain and Binz in front of him, and couldn't help but smile:
"Well, let's take advantage of this time to start a special training for you."

"After all, your current strength is far from enough to face the increasingly dangerous battles in the future."

"Yes!"

The two men saluted, their faces flushed with excitement.

It’s just because in terms of combat power alone, Zephyr may not be as good as Sengoku, Garp, the three admirals, or even some of the admiral candidates.

But when it comes to the level of training disciples, even if they were packed together, they would not be enough to defeat Zefa alone.

"Also, call Smoker and that little girl along!"

"Yes!"

……

……

……

East China Sea.

Raven Harbor.

With a large amount of funds pouring in, Gaza has become more and more aggressive. Propaganda for the martial arts tournament has even accompanied some merchant ships into the Grand Route and parts of the four seas.

Naturally, it also attracted the attention of many powerful people.

"The East China Sea will hold a martial arts tournament in two months. The winner will receive a prize of 3...300 million Baileys?!"

"Not only that, you can also obtain the Superman Bone-Bone Fruit, and even leave your name in the Hall of Fame. All the contestants will be able to see your name from now on!"

"This... is this really something that the weakest Dong Hai can do?!"

"Registration ends at the end of this month?!"

"no!"

"I want to go, right now!"

……

For a time, martial artists all over the world were excited about this, some were coming for the prize money, and some were coming for the devil fruit.

But for those who have achieved more success, what really concerns them is the Hall of Fame!
New world.

Ediot, who had just won the New World Central Fighting Tournament, looked at the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help licking his lips with an interested look.

"Leave your name forever?!"

"Even though it's the weakest East China Sea, has it already done enough publicity to say that the New World is coming?!"

"It looks like there will be no shortage of opponents in this competition."

"After all, even if there are no opponents in the East China Sea that satisfy me, the strong men coming from other seas are enough to make me excited."

Wrecking Fist-Ideo is just the tip of the iceberg.

The long-legged fighter Blue Killy, the bounty hunter Jet, Abdra and other famous strong men have all set their sights on the East China Sea.

……

The Grand Route.

Magic Valley Town.

In a casino.

The croupier, who has a pretty face and a hot body, is dealing cards, but her fingers can't help but tremble.

It was because standing next to him were a group of ferocious-looking casino thugs.

They gathered together and plotted against a tall, middle-aged man who was blind and dressed in purple feather clothes.

"What are you shaking for? Deal the cards!"

The violent gambler in the lead couldn't help but yell, and the beautiful dealer's hands moved faster immediately.
