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

Chapter 146 These pirates are so evil!
at the same time.

East China Sea Navy 016 Branch.

under the night sky.

Several headquarters warships were anchored in the harbor, and the seagull flag was swaying in the sea breeze.

Ian stood in the harbor, letting the sea breeze blow his clothes, looking a little absent-minded.

"I hope Mr. Zefa is alright..."

Although she had already known from the notification of the Navy Headquarters that Knight Gawain had now become the new Shichibukai and was considered half a navy member.

But the Seven Warlords of the Sea are already fully staffed, so it is not difficult to guess that Gawain must have used Zephyr to make some unspeakable deal with the World Government.

This also made him more worried about Zefa's safety.

"Colonel Ian!"

"Headquarters!"

"It's an order from headquarters!"

A marine excitedly ran over from a distance and handed the document he had just printed to Ian.

After Ain took a glance, her pupils lit up instantly, and she seemed to be relieved at this moment. She turned to look at the marine beside her and ordered:

"Wake everyone up immediately. We will set off now to Raven Harbor to welcome Mr. Zefa."

"but."

Ain's expression suddenly became serious:

"This time, we will go to the pirates' lair, and it will also be a good opportunity for those newcomers who have fantasies about pirates to take a look."

"How much evil is hidden in a port ruled by pirates? How miserable are the people there?"

between words.

Ai En's eyes were filled with undisguised anger as she continued:

"Also, we must remain vigilant at all times. After all, we are facing the pirates who defeated Mr. Zephyr."

"Yes!"

The Marine swallowed and passed the message on.

Lights gradually lit up on the buildings in the port.

In just a few minutes, rows of marines appeared in the port and boarded the warships in an orderly manner.

Half an hour later.

With a whistle, several warships anchored here set sail one after another and headed towards Raven Harbor.

……

……

……

East China Sea.

Raven Harbor.

It was late at night, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, casting bright moonlight on Raven Harbor.

Gawain's training had already ended. He sat cross-legged with a strange look on his face, because the familiar system prompt sounded in his ears:

"Physical experience +1003!"

……(slightly)
"Metahuman Devil Fruit Experience +60!"

"Armament Haki +60!"

"Conqueror Haki +8!"

……

"The Superman Chain is useless to me. Just like the navigation skill that I have mastered to the maximum level, I will just throw it into the experience storage tank and convert it into general experience to speed up the growth of Clo and the others."

"The Armament Haki has increased by 60 points. This is completely normal. It is several times faster than if I had done it myself."

"But the growth rate of Domineering Haki is..."

Gawain set his sights on the Conqueror Haki column on the panel.

[Heroic Haki-LV-1: 38/5000]

"It's similar to the beginning of Armament Haki, but the experience required to upgrade is too different. To upgrade from level one to level two, the experience required is 5000."

For a while.

Gawain fell into deep thought.

If he relied solely on training, even if he could recruit leeks with the potential of Conqueror's Haki in the future, and their potential was the same as Gawain's, the experience he could provide would be less than 100 per day.

It takes nearly two months to upgrade one level, and it will take at least one or two years to reach the fifth level awakening item.

This is after he successfully recruited his subordinates who had awakened their Conqueror's Haki. If Gawain really had to work hard on his own, the time would probably have to be at least ten times longer.

Although the top pirates in the world of pirates, except for the Straw Hat pirates, are basically in their forties or fifties, this speed is far from satisfying Gawain. He does not want to reach the peak in his forties or fifties.

Besides, there are also strong people in their twenties or even teens who have mastered high-level Domineering Haki, or even Domineering Haki. If they can do it, it means there must be a shortcut!

Gawain's gaze fell on the straw hat:

"It only took Straw Hat Luffy two years to awaken his Conqueror's Haki and comprehend his Domination. Even if he was the Destiny Child, there must be other reasons..."

"Fight?"

The story of the Straw Hat Crew's rise to power flashed before Gawain's eyes. From the East China Sea to Wano Country, the Straw Hat Crew had refined their domineering aura in the process of fighting with powerful men one after another.

This is also in line with the characteristics of the domineering color.

After all, the Conqueror's Haki is different from the other types of Haki. It is a display of personal will and belief, and blindly practicing hard will never cultivate an invincible heart.

It is naturally difficult for the domineering Haki based on this to make any progress.

But for Gawain there is another solution.

"If this method proves to be feasible, then the next step is to consider finding a subordinate with the potential of Conqueror's Haki, and let him continue to fight, so that I can reap the benefits."

In order to verify my conjecture.

The next day, Gao Wen went to see Fujitora and explained his purpose, and Fujitora readily agreed.

"Would you like to verify how to practice Conqueror's Haki? It would be my honor to help you."

Gao Wen nodded and said:
"This time it's a pure contest. We'll see how far we can go without using our abilities."

"it is good."

……

A few minutes later.

The hills behind Raven Harbor.

Two figures holding swords were fighting between the steep and rugged mountains.

The blades crossed, and the sword energy released chopped the surrounding rocks into pieces.

As time went on, the fight between the two became more intense, and their speed and strength had reached their limits.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The continuous roars attracted everyone in the Raven here. Looking at the two people fighting, they were so shocked that they were speechless.

Ajin looked at Clo with a little sympathy:

"I remember your goal was to surpass the captain, right?"

Clo's face froze, and his confidence seemed a little insignificant:
"I'll do it!"

Zoro silently tightened his grip on the three swords at his waist, then slowly put them down, unwillingly saying:
"Although I am a bit eager to show my skills, if I go up now, I will be far from being a match for those two."

"Why is it that even though I've practiced so hard, the gap between me and the captain has only widened?"

"Illusion!"

"It must be! It must be an illusion!"

As everyone was discussing, the fighting in the field continued until late at night, and it never stopped until the crowd dispersed.

now.

Zoro was the only one watching the fight. He stared at the two people fighting, afraid of missing any move.

Just because of such battles, even if he was just watching, he benefited a lot.

"Who is stronger, the current captain or that man?!"

When such a question appeared in Sauron's mind, it could not be shaken off.

This also made him want to see Gawain and Hawkeye fight again even more.

Take a look.

The gap between us and the world's number one now.

As the fight between the two became more intense, Observation Haki and Armament Haki were used one by one. Gawain even began to try to mobilize the Domineering Haki in his body, but was unsuccessful.

Under the moonlight.

The two figures stopped at the same time. Gawain was sweating all over, and Fujitora was also breathing heavily.

Guanshi authentic.

Gangster Fire Line.

The two top-notch swords continuously emitted buzzing sounds, but these sounds died down over time.

"That's about it for today. If we continue fighting, you and I won't be able to tell who's the winner."

laugh!
Fujitora sheathed his sword and looked at Gawain with a hint of surprise in his eyes, which turned into relief in the next moment.

"Although I lost the last battle."

"But if I use all my strength, I am still confident that I can suppress you. But things are different now."

Fujitora sighed:
"In just a few days, you have achieved such a transformation. Your talent is simply... unbelievable!"

"You are also a real monster~"

Gao Wen sighed, and put Guan Shi Zheng Zong back into the scabbard.

After bidding farewell to Fujitora and Zoro who was watching the battle, Gawain slowly returned to his room. At this moment, he heard the system's prompt for harvesting experience points:

"Physical experience +1011!"

(slightly)

"Conqueror Haki +88!"

……

Listening to the experience of the sudden increase of Conqueror's Haki, Gawain's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously:

"Sure enough, my guess was correct!"

"Conqueror's Haki focuses more on the cultivation of faith, and enlightenment from battle."

"Of course, the correct solution is to first find a subordinate who has awakened the Conqueror's Haki or has the qualifications to do so, and let him fight. I will reap the benefits through the system."

"But now the conditions are limited, I can only rely on myself for now."

"But there are no strong ones in the East China Sea who can fight me. I can only wait until the ship is modified and enters the Grand Line before looking for opponents and new leeks."

Say it.

Gao Wen had already made up his mind. After putting down Guanshi Zhengzong, he was about to wash up and rest when he heard the system prompt again:
"It is detected that the host's sniping has been upgraded to LV-5, reaching the maximum level. You can choose one of the following branch abilities:"

"Eagle eyes, precision."

……

"Sniper has reached level 5?"

Gao Wen was slightly stunned and glanced at the system panel.
[Sniper-LV5: 6/MAX]

Only then did he realize that after several days of accumulation, his sniping skill had reached level 5 and had also reached its potential limit.

"His talent in navigation and sniping is only average."

"But in terms of swordsmanship and physical strength, I have never reached the top. In other words, my talents are generally biased towards these two areas."

"Good thing."

Gawain's lips curled up.

Strength is the foundation of survival in this troubled world, and both he and the pirates who roam the world know this.

Even though the Straw Hat Pirates always shouted that their friends were more important than anything else, weren't they wiped out by a bear in the Sabaody Archipelago?

All the other Seven Warlords of the Sea who were present at that time had to be sacrificed on the spot.

Then Gawain focused his attention on the two terms of sniping. After weighing the pros and cons, he chose precision.

After all, Eagle Eyes is an entry that enhances visual ability and is more of a perception-related term.

But in terms of perception, Gawain already has the observation Haki, and it is even an extremely specialized perception, so that he can predict the future.

Hawkeye, which improves vision, seems to be useless to him.

“I choose precision.”

The sound fell to the ground.

Gao Wen only felt his body getting hot, and a tingling sensation spread from the top of his head to his limbs, and then to every part of his body.

soon.

The transformation is complete.

Gawain only felt his body lighten, and his nerve reflexes increased again. It was not a qualitative change like the first time he awakened balance, but more like an increase on the panel.

"indeed."

"Snipers have a variety of abilities, but when it comes to the body, it's nothing more than more accurate judgment and sharper perception."

“Both of these have to do with the nervous system.”

talking.

Gawain opened the window, grabbed the flintlock on the table, and fired a shot at the bird in the sky.

boom!
The bullet hit the flying bird instantly, leaving a few spots of blood in the air, attracting the attention of the patrolmen.

"Although I can't do what Fan Oka did, where I can hit anything I point at within ten kilometers, but a five-kilometer radius is no problem. Even after I transform into a red dragon, the range will be even larger due to my body size."

"He is also a first-class sniper."

Seeing this, Gao Wen had a general understanding of his own level and simply closed the window.

This scene.

However, he was noticed by Fan Oka who was still active in the surrounding area.

He looked at the window of Gawain's room, then at the flying birds landing in the distance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching:
"Don't let it end up that Captain Gawain surpasses me in sniping. That would be a lot of fun..."

talking.

He touched his beloved gun, Qianlu, in his arms, and barely suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. He turned around and continued to patrol the port with his guards.

……

Next few days.

Everyone in the Gawain Pirates had a feeling that their training speed had increased even faster.

"It used to take me at least a week to achieve this level of improvement, but now it only takes three days."

Zoro swung his sword in the training room at the port, feeling the changes in his body, his expression a little surprised.

People who focus on physical practice also tend to notice sudden changes more easily.

"Do you feel the same way?"

The same was true for Sanji, who was doing physical training nearby.

Drops of sweat slid down the tip of his nose and shattered on the ground with a bang.

Now that Gawain has basically figured out how to practice Armament Haki, it has naturally spread among the pirate group. Zoro, Sanji and others have also temporarily placed the focus of their practice on the physical body.

After all, in future battles with people with special abilities, Armament Haki is almost indispensable.

But compared to Zoro who was doubtful, Sanji was much more open-minded:

"Wouldn't it be better to improve faster? It's impossible that someone directly improved our physical strength, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zoro was speechless.

He stopped talking and focused his mind on cultivation.

This is because he knows that the stronger he becomes, the more he can help Gawain in the future, and the closer he will be to Gawain and Hawkeye.

It is no coincidence.

Everyone in Gawain's pirate group, especially those at the front, had this feeling.

Although they were slightly confused, it did not last long.

After all, from getting one point of gain for one point of effort to getting two or even three points of gain for one point of effort, the feeling of immediate feedback has made them addicted to it and become more obsessed with practice.

For a while.

Even though the martial arts tournament has already ended and there is still a long wait before the next one, the diligence of the Gawain Pirates in their training is becoming more and more exaggerated.

In the eyes of Zefa's marines, these pirates have gone insane.

"What the hell!"

"These pirates are so self-disciplined!"

"I've never seen a pirate get up at seven in the morning to practice and not come back until eleven or twelve at night, and he even has a happy smile on his face!"

"It's so evil!"

"Something's wrong, there's something wrong with these pirates!"

"I have to stay away from them!"
