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

Chapter 177 Standing on the Earth
The sudden eruption of flames in the center of Winter Island instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Kesda.

Chopper and others had evacuated most of the patients to the boat at the estuary, but they were startled by the noise in the distance. They turned back to look, but their pupils contracted instantly when they saw this scene.

"what is that?!"

"In the center of Winter Island, a sun rises...?!"

Kureha took off his glasses and stared blankly into the distance.

When she was young, she had an experience as a pirate and believed that she had seen countless strong men, but she could not believe that humans could achieve such a level.

"What a joke!"

"That's the battlefield between Mr. Gawain and the enemy!"

Chopper's judgment was accurate, but he also secretly swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but worry about Gawain:
"Has Mr. Gawain's opponent become so powerful?"

The scene before him had exceeded his imagination of human power, and it could even be said to have reshaped his worldview.

It gave him a new understanding of how powerful humans are, but it also brought with it worry for Gawain.

Nami saw this, and although she was also worried about Gawain, she subconsciously spoke to comfort herself:
"Captain Gawain is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"In the past, no matter if it was the evil dragon entrenched in the East China Sea, the powerful pirates of the Grand Line, or the former admiral of the navy, they were no match for him!"

"That man... is the strongest!"

"He won't lose!"

Chopper was stunned and repeated the key words from Nami:

"Your Majesty... Shichibukai?!"

"what."

Kureha nodded and explained solemnly:
"A pirate recognized by the World Government with the legal right to plunder."

"Many pirates regard them as scum who have sided with the World Government, and countless people even target them."

"But few of these people realize that they can be recognized by the world government and granted such power."

"It's because they are so powerful!"

"only……"

"This time, our opponent is also an extremely powerful pirate. I have never seen such might before!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts, which had just been put at ease, were lifted again.

This was especially true when one saw flames all over the sky in the distance, lighting up almost the entire Winter Island.

……

battlefield.

What Gawain saw, who was at the center of Jhin's attack, was a world almost covered in flames.

As the deputy of the Four Emperors, Jhin is also the most powerful person in the world besides the Emperor Generals. His overwhelming combat power is undoubtedly revealed in this move.

An unprecedented solemnity appeared on Gao Wen's face.

Just because of the scene before his eyes, the flame is controlled to this extent. Even the two previous and current users of the Flame-Flame Fruit in the original work could not do it to this level!
The racial talent of the Lunaria people, even if only the ability to control fire is considered, is not inferior to the nature-type Flame-Flame Fruit.

Although he does not have the ability to transform into elements, he has overcome the biggest flaw of the Devil Fruit, which is that he is not afraid of sea water or seastone.

At least if Gawain was asked to choose between the Flame-Flame Fruit and the Lunaria clan's fire control ability, he would definitely choose the latter.

But with a powerful enemy in front of him, Gawain had no time to think about it...

In short, even dogs won’t eat the Flame-Flame Fruit.

"Well done!"

Gao Wen shouted loudly and tapped the hilt of the knife with his fingertips. Then a layer of light blue fluorescence slowly wrapped around the blade.

The extreme troops are mobilized.

Guanze Masamune's slashing ability has been greatly improved!

The next moment...

boom!
The ground suddenly turned upside down, and Gawain, with his extreme speed, rushed directly into the flames in front of him.

He could feel that countless flaming beasts were tearing at the dragon scales on his body and ramming into his body, but they could not shake Gawain even a little bit!
The demon form perfectly inherits the physical enhancement characteristics of the human-beast form, which is perfectly confirmed here.

Besides, the red dragon itself has a strong elemental resistance. Although it is far from the level of immunity, its ability to absorb earth energy to heal itself is not much different from immunity.

When Guanze Masamune, with a light blue fluorescence, slashed in front of Jin with flames all over the sky, there was only indescribable surprise on his face.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Jhin broke through the defense on the spot.

I just feel that Gawain's fighting style of bathing in the opponent's attack is even familiar.

And it is extremely insulting!
"No matter how outrageous the power of a devil fruit is, there must be a limit!"

Although Jin was shocked, his hands moved very quickly. The long sword in his hand was instantly covered with domineering aura, and he collided head-on with Guanshi Zhengzong.

laugh--!
What I heard was not the familiar sound of metal colliding, but the sound of something being cut.

Jhin looked at the long sword in his hand, the shock in his eyes had reached an extreme level.

You know, this knife has been with him for many years, and he has even clashed with those top-notch swords, but never once was it directly cut off in this way!

"What the hell!"

When Jin was distracted, a broken blade passed by his eyes, and Guan Shi Zheng Zong also took the opportunity to hit him directly, leaving a line of blood on his chest.

The long-lost stinging pain made Jin pull back violently, and the surrounding flames dissipated in an instant. He stared blankly at the scar on Xiji's chest.

A faint line of blood was particularly conspicuous on his uninjured chest.

The wound was not deep, just a cut on the flesh, but to Jhin, it was already something incomprehensible.

"How did you do it?!"

Jhin asked subconsciously, and then he noticed the long sword with a faint fluorescent light in Gawain's hand, and his pupils kept shrinking:
“This knife…”

"you guess?!"

Gao Wei had a hint of a smile on his face, but he was actually cursing in his heart.

So hard!
It’s so fucking hard!

The demon form has far stronger internal strength than the human form, coupled with the branch ability of the extreme soldier that is specifically designed to break defenses, plus Gawain's swordsmanship, domineering aura, and the ultimate sharpness given by Guanze Masamune.

All these factors combined together only left such a small wound on Jin? !

I take back what I said now.

The most ideal start in the world of pirates is the Lunaria bloodline.

Although there is a risk of being used for experiments, this thing is really outrageous!
Jin touched his chest, feeling the long-lost stinging pain, and a hint of twisted meaning appeared in his eyes:
"It's been a long time since I followed Brother Kaido. I haven't felt this way for a long time."

"You are very good!"

It had been a long time since he had felt such a threat to his life.

The devil fruit ability that makes him almost immortal, the powerful attack power that almost breaks through the Lunaria clan's talent head-on, and the observation Haki that can predict the future...

With so many abilities gathered in one body, he finally realized that Gawain in front of him was probably as powerful as himself!

From the very beginning, this battle was different from what I thought, and if I wasn't careful I would really fail.

"really."

"Fear is not the obstacle to survival, arrogance is!"

Say it.

Jhin glanced at the long sword in his hand and saw that only the tip was missing, which would not affect the battle. He then looked up at Gawain:

"war!"

Jin roared angrily, flames rising behind him, and he gathered his strength once again and attacked again!

Gawain's mouth stretched into a ferocious grin.

Everyone has a weird mechanism, but I still have the upper hand in the situation, so who is afraid of whom? !
"war!"

Gawain stomped his feet, pushed his body, and rushed towards the cinders.

One big and one small. The two pitch-black knives met in mid-air, making a sharp tremor, but they separated as soon as they touched.

Obviously, after the lesson just now, Jhin has realized that he cannot fight Gawain head-on, but this battle is ultimately unavoidable.

boom!
boom!
boom!
……

For a moment, the battlefield between the two expanded to an area with a diameter of several kilometers.

One of them has a monstrous racial talent and absolute defense.

A fruit with incredible abilities, almost unlimited blood and mana, and a large-scale AOE dragon breath.

Therefore, from the very beginning, this battle was heading towards the most brutal and bloody way of exchanging injuries for injuries.

Flames rose all over the sky, and countless silver-white arrows slashed in the air, accompanied by the roars of the two monsters, completely detonating everything around them.

Trees, rocks and even rivers formed by melted snow were destroyed. Several villages that had already evacuated their people were also destroyed by the aftermath of the battle between the two.

But even though they are both monsters, Jhin is different from Gawain, who has the energy of the entire Winter Island's earth veins behind him. His racial talent prevents him from getting hurt, but his physical strength is ultimately limited.

As time goes by.

The situation of the battle began to reverse from the initial evenly matched situation, with Jhin even having the advantage.

Gradually.

There were more and more cuts on Jhin's body, his shirt was cut into pieces, and a corner of his mask was cut off by Gawain. A thought that made him extremely uneasy emerged in Jhin's mind.

If we keep fighting...I will be the loser?!

The proud racial talent of the Lunaria people was actually cracked here? !
How can this be? !
Jin couldn't believe what he saw, but he couldn't reverse the disadvantage caused by the loss of physical strength. The most important thing was...

He used my best fighting style to knock me down head-on?!

What the hell?!
The corners of Jin's mouth couldn't help but twitch, but he also knew that he couldn't let the current situation continue to develop.

For him.

Ever since I was rescued from the laboratory by that man, I had entrusted everything I had to that man.

As long as his will can be carried out, he will do so even at the cost of his life. If he cannot be defeated quickly from the front, he will attack his heart.

"Na~"

"Gawain, you have a group of companions at the beach, right?!"

"That guy Fuzifu has gone to deal with them."

between words.

Jin's voice was indifferent. He felt ashamed of such behavior from the bottom of his heart, but in order to implement Kaido's will, he had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

Be despicable if you want to.

"Although that guy's strength is somewhat inferior to mine, he should not be able to be dealt with by those small fry under your command!"

Gawain frowned, but his moves were not flustered at all. He just raised his eyes and looked at Jhin coldly:
"If they really die from this, then I will kill all the beasts. I mean what I say."

"And in a battle, if you use this kind of psychological attack, no matter what your purpose is, you have already lost!"

"ember!"

"You are no match for me!"

"That Fuzifu is no match for Ajin and the others!"

Jin's expression changed, looking ugly and direct, he spat and said coldly:
"Qi!"

"Then I'll just leave you here!"

Say it.

Jhin took a deep breath, stepped forward again, and started a new round of fight with Gawain.

Possessing the blood of the Lunaria tribe and being an ancient animal species, he has absolute confidence in a protracted war.

Gawain wasn't afraid at all!

……

The fight between the two continued until late at night.

Gao Wen also went from having a slight advantage at the beginning to having a crushing advantage.

During the high-intensity battle, Jhin's physical strength declined more and more seriously.

No matter how much he was reluctant to admit it, it was undeniable that he no longer had the strength to win this battle.

"It is meaningless to continue fighting this battle."

"Before we understand this guy's abilities and find his weaknesses, even an opponent at a higher level than him will find it difficult to defeat him in a short period of time."

Jin began to want to back out, muttering to himself.

When he said these words, he just felt a sense of familiarity.

Wait a minute……

These seem to be the comments others made about me in the past?!
As he spoke, the corners of Jhin's mouth twitched, and he took one last look at Gawain, but he had no intention of fighting anymore.

He flapped his wings behind him, bursting out all his remaining strength and releasing one last large-scale fire attack. After temporarily repelling Gawain, he switched to speed form and flew high, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

below.

Seeing this, Gao Wen did not continue to pursue.

Gawain had the upper hand soon after the battle began, but he was never able to cause fatal damage, and continuing to fight would only be a futile waste of energy.

Jhin was even more difficult to deal with than he had expected.

The talents of the Lunaria people are so abnormal that even Big Mom would feel a toothache when she sees it, let alone Gawain.

The reason why a character like Jhin cannot reach the King's level is not because of his lack of natural defense, but because of his dominance and ability development.

Moreover, the red dragon is in the sky and cannot draw energy from the earth veins to replenish its body at any time. Instead, it will expose its own weaknesses, which will not be worth the loss.

but.

This battle also allowed Gao Wen to have an accurate understanding of his current combat power.

"The level of the Four Emperors' deputy is still a long way from the level of the general, but as long as I stand on the ground and don't get killed instantly, I can beat anyone who comes."

"With Cloe in Magnetic Drum City, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Go support Ajin first."

talking.

Gawain had an idea in his mind. He flapped his wings, confirmed the direction, and flew towards the location of Akinbo's ship.

……

The other end.

The battle near the Raven is coming to an end.

Akin, Lucci, and Zoro joined forces to fight Fuzifu in a round-robin battle, but they were still at a disadvantage and suffered many wounds on their bodies.

One of Lucci's arms was even twisted and hanging by his side. He was covered in blood, and his willpower and physical strength were already at their limits.

"Damn it!"

"Even if the three of us join forces, we still can't win?!"

Lu Qi gritted his teeth, his voice full of reluctance.

"Hahahaha-!"

Fuzifu laughed and his eyes became more ferocious.

The wounds on his body were no less than those of Lucci and the others. The wounds from slashing, bombardment and even Lucci's six styles were so dense that he almost became a bloody mask.

But the vitality of the ancient animal species is far superior to that of Lucci's ordinary animal species, not to mention the superhuman Akin and even Zoro who has not eaten the devil fruit.

"I'm the winner!"

Fuzifu made a smug sound, but the next moment his head tilted back and his body froze in mid-air.

Just as Ajin and the other two were stunned, a gunshot rang out in their ears.

boom!
