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

Chapter 190 The Fate of Tools

Gabra's face was full of helplessness.

The owl is good in every way except for its big mouth, which is hard to control. Many missions were almost ruined by its big mouth.

I can only say that the zipper on the owl's mouth is not in vain.

"Forehead……"

Weiwei couldn't help laughing at the interaction between the three people, and her face showed a little more ease:

"Mr. Gabra, you are very good partners."

"Of course."

Gabra's mouth widened, revealing a somewhat helpless smile:
"However, there is one guy who is an exception. I just can't get along with him. It's like a cat and a dog. We always fight when we meet."

Ikalem smiled faintly:
"There can be a very deep bond between cats and dogs."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Gabra shook his head, obviously not taking Ikalem's words seriously.

"Haha~"

Weiwei chuckled twice and then focused her attention on the affairs of Baroque Works.

After she pondered for a moment, her eyes gradually became firm:

"Next, our first task is to defeat a pirate group and pass the entry test of Baroque Works."

"After all, only by infiltrating the Baroque Works, or even becoming a high-ranking official, can we possibly access core intelligence."

"Crocodile is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Even the cooperation between him and Baroque Works is kept highly confidential. It is even possible that Crocodile is the man behind Baroque Works."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at the three Gabra people in front of her:

"Once you find a suitable target, please take action."

Gabra nodded:

"No problem. There is no opponent on this island that we cannot defeat."

Gabra has great confidence in his own fighting ability.

He is proficient in the six styles and possesses the strongest melee ability among the three animal types. Even within the navy, he is an officer at the rank of general.

If converted into pirates, the bounty would be tens of millions or even nearly 100 million. Such combat power would be overwhelming in such a place.

After all, there's no way I'm going to run into that annoying leopard again here, right? !

……

……

……

Two days later.

The weather is fine, the wind and waves are calm.

The Raven slowly docked in the port near Whiskey Peak.

As early as when they were near the sea, in order to avoid disturbances caused by the presence of the red dragon, Gawain lowered the Raven.

Although the ship's power system was damaged, after repairs by Lu Qi and others, it had no problem supporting a voyage of dozens of nautical miles in such weather conditions.

soon.

Lu Qi contacted the shipyard in the port and bought the materials needed to repair the ship from it. After renting a shipyard, he took several shipwrights with him and began to repair the ship.

Gao Wen stood aside, looking at the busy crowd, and couldn't help asking:
"How long will it take to completely repair it?!"

After a brief calculation, Lu Qi gave his answer:
"It only takes half a month to restore normal navigation capabilities, but if we want to completely solve this hidden danger, several months will not be enough."

"The initial transformation of this ship was too rough, and now it is more difficult than expected to make up for it later."

Gawain nodded, but his eyes fell on the sails of the Raven.

The pirate flag with a skull logo on the round shield as the base still looks extremely outstanding even when it lands in the port. Combined with the Raven's hundred-meter-long hull, it looks even more majestic.

Looking at the Raven in front of him, Gawain's attention was elsewhere.

The Raven was not originally in his plan. He originally intended to build a ship that could accompany him to the end of his journey.

Just like the Straw Hat's Sausensonny, the Red Hair's Redforth, and the White Beard's Moby Dick, they are enough to carry everyone to a wider world.

The Raven, which was modified based on a warship, will eventually be eliminated by Gawain one day.

Gawain jumped up and landed steadily on the deck. He raised his hand and stroked the mast of the Raven, but he was thinking about the new ship. He murmured:

"The natural first choice for dragon bones is the treasure tree Adam."

"After all, the Ark Noah, which was built with the precious tree Adam as the main material, sank into the sea and remained intact for hundreds of years, which has proven the superior performance of this material."

"As for the materials of the hull and the outer armor..."

between words.

A man who had been killed by Cloe himself appeared in Gawain's mind.

Wapol.

Or rather, it is Wapol's Swallowing Fruit.

In terms of combat, the Swallow Swallow Fruit's ability is naturally not as good as the natural or mythical beast types that become increasingly powerful in the later stages.

But the Swallow-Swallow Fruit has an ability that can be called a BUG, ​​which is that it can mix the eaten substances together according to the proportions desired by the user of the ability, and even living things can do it.

It is also with the help of this ability.

In the original work, it was only after Wapol was defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates that Wapol Alloy was created by chance.

Wabo alloy is a kind of memory metal. It not only has unimaginable strength, but can also automatically restore to its original state after being damaged. Even Franky's full body transformation is based on Wabo alloy.

Wapol also took this opportunity to make a comeback, built the Black Drum Kingdom, and even gained recognition from the World Government.

"More importantly, since the Swallow Swallow Fruit can synthesize Wapo Alloy, after a lot of experiments, it should be able to synthesize other magical materials."

"Pity."

Gawain shook his head and put the question aside. He did not feel any psychological burden about killing Wapol.

After all, that guy had ruled the Magnetic Drum Kingdom for so many years and had done very little human work. The number of civilians who died directly or indirectly because of him was astronomical.

What really made Gao Wen curious was this Swallowing Fruit.

However, there is no regular pattern in the rebirth of the fruit, and no one can predict who will eventually get the fruit.

He took another look at the scene, and seeing that Lucci and the others were getting busier, he turned and walked into the cabin to see what was going on after the plan was made.

After confirming that the team would stay here for half a month, Gawain simply gave everyone a holiday and let them relax around the port.

As for the pirate hunters lurking around, looking for prey...

Gao Wendao was actually looking forward to seeing if someone would be so blind as to attack him.

Not to mention Gawain, whose combat power is close to that of the admirals and the Four Emperors, nor are there silver-level Crow and Kin, and Zoro and Sanji, who are close to silver-level.

With the poor combat effectiveness displayed by those pirate hunters in the Whiskey Peak chapter, just the small fry on Gawain's ship who were working out crazily all day were enough to give them a hard time.

What really troubles Gao Wen right now is how to deal with Lucci's problem.

He just killed him directly. He had some talent in mind since he was a gold-level seed after all.

Don't kill him. Leaving him on the boat will be a time bomb.

Looking at the busy figures on the deck, Gawain fell into deep thought for a moment, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

……

Time flies and it is already late at night.

The port of Whiskey Peak was still brightly lit, with countless bars bustling with activity, and even quite a few drunk men and women lying along the way.

Lucci and Kalifa sneaked out while everyone was asleep and moved nimbly among the crowd. They disappeared at the end of the street in a few breaths.

But what they didn't notice was that on the deck behind them, several figures were looking at them coldly. ...

A few minutes later.

Behind Whiskey Hill Harbor.

Lucci and Kalifa walked side by side, moving quickly towards the agreed location.

As the deafening music in the port behind him gradually faded, Lucci felt irritated for no reason, and the hairs on his back stood up.

The vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, so much so that he subconsciously slowed down his pace.

what exactly is it? !

What on earth have I overlooked?!

The real reason why the superiors wanted to meet was really just to change the contact person, or was it something else...

"what happened?"

Kalifa stopped and looked at Lucci behind her with a puzzled look. The vague panic on the latter's face made her feel a little uneasy.

Simply because she had never seen such an expression on this man's face.

Such……

There was even a hint of...fear in the panic. Yes, it was an expression of fear!
"What happened?!"

"Something's wrong!"

Lucci lowered his voice and looked around anxiously.

As early as half a month ago, he had a vague premonition of crisis.

At first he thought it was just an illusion, but later, as the sense of crisis appeared more and more frequently, he realized that his observation Haki should be awakened.

The observation color that transcends the five senses is more like an intuition, and intuition is often the most accurate in perceiving danger.

"Tonight's action...is a trap!"

Kalifa was stunned, and a forced smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"How can this be?!"

"Even if the higher-ups remove Spandam, it has nothing to do with us. How could they possibly attack us?!"

"We are just carrying out the mission--!"

boom--!
A deafening explosion suddenly exploded beside Lucci's ears, interrupting Kalifa's words.

When Lucci came to his senses, a flower of blood had already exploded on Kalifa's chest. She was blown away by the shot, smashing the rocks behind her.

"Kalifa?!"

Lucci couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. He just took a step forward, but instinctively stopped the next second.

It was because the budding observation Haki in his mind gave him a sense of crisis that made him tremble.

next moment.

boom!
A bullet slid past Lucci's clothes, tearing off a piece of flesh on his chest and making his face look a little panicked.

It was because in his mind, there were not many people who could achieve this level with the help of guns, and it happened that the only one in Whiskey Mountain was Van Oka!
"Van Oka?!"

"Has my identity been exposed? When?"

But what reached Lucci's ears was an unfamiliar voice.

"Oh~"

"He has the instincts of a wild animal. He is worthy of being the most gifted man in CP9 in the past eight hundred years."

Dressed in a white suit, a red mask, and hair that exploded like sunflowers, Gismonda slowly emerged from the shadows.

Standing side by side with him was a CP0 member holding a flintlock rifle and also dressed in white. It was obviously him who had just made the move.

"It's a pity that this is where you will be buried tonight."

As the voice of the person coming fell, countless CP0 members who had been lying in ambush in the surrounding areas appeared one after another and surrounded Lucci in the center.

There was murderous intent all around.

In this situation, how could Lucci not know their plans?

But he felt an unspeakable confusion in his heart.

I was at the front, and in order to protect justice, I endured more than a month of pursuit by the navy and narrowly escaped death several times, but in the end, I was killed by the World Government?

Even the only person I can call my companion at this moment...

Lucci looked at Kalifa who had already lost consciousness in the distance, and his eyes instantly turned red:

"Why?!"

"Why?!"

Gismonda's voice was filled with an undisguised chill, as if he had regarded himself as the god who judged life:

“When a tool loses its usefulness and even has the potential to turn against its master, no matter how good it is or how bright its future is, it is meaningless and the only fate that awaits it is to be abandoned.”

"I didn't betray the World Government!"

"Who knows? When neither the World Government, the CP Organization, nor the Navy has found out who leaked the Six-style, then there is only one answer."

Gismonda pointed at Lucci and said coldly:

"You are the one who revealed the Six Styles!"

"not me!"

Lucci gritted his teeth and slowly retreated to Kalifa's side, carefully guarding against attacks from the surrounding CP organization members.

"Lucci~"

After regaining consciousness, Kalifa struggled to sit up, her face extremely pale.

She pressed the wound with one hand and managed to stop the bleeding, but she no longer had the strength to fight.

The shot just now by the opponent seriously injured her, but the damage was just not enough to kill her immediately, in order to keep Lucci here as much as possible.

“How ironic~”

Kalifa murmured, her eyes revealing unspeakable sadness.

He never thought that the scene in which he and Lucci sacrificed each other a few months ago in order to infiltrate Gawain's pirate group would actually be repeated here.

Even the knife that stabbed him was still in the hands of the World Government.

Only this time they really wanted to kill themselves.

Even what he had said to Lucci before, that the World Government valued his talent and would not give up on him easily, seemed naive and childish.

In the eyes of these people, we are just tools after all.

justice?!
Oh, justice~
Kalifa lowered her voice, but a handsome face appeared in her mind at this moment. She said with a bit of self-mockery:
"If you can survive, please ask that guy if he has me in his heart."

"Lucci, leave me alone, go!"

boom--!
Fire flickered again in the darkness, and the sniper next to Gismonda opened fire, interrupting Kalifa's words.

But the bullet was caught by Lucci who was prepared.

laugh--!
The pitch-black bullet rotated at high speed, rubbing against Lucci's palm, bringing out a burst of white smoke and the smell of burnt flesh and blood.

Lucci looked at the wound on his palm and looked around.

He knew that it was impossible to escape with Khalifa on his own tonight.

After all, even if there was no sniper as skilled as Van Oka, the murderous intent that Gismonda inadvertently revealed was enough to make him feel dangerous.

But he couldn't just give up on Khalifa.
