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

Chapter 200 Explosion
"Captain, do you want to play with us?"

Lu Qi looked at Gawain. Although his expression remained calm, he could not hide the curiosity in his eyes.

He had witnessed Gawain's monstrous strength with his own eyes during the battle at Magnetic Drum City.

But he had never had any real sense of how powerful Gawain was, and now that he had the chance to see it with his own eyes, he naturally couldn't let it go.

"I'm curious too~"

Zoro raised his eyes and looked at Gawain.

He is confident.

If I were to go back to the battle when I first met Gawain with my current strength, I would still not be sure of winning the battle.

But he was confident that he would never be easily teased by Gawain like he had been before.

But he knew even more clearly that no matter how strong he became, Gawain would only become stronger at a faster rate.

"Oh~"

Gawain looked at the owl with its hands clasped together in the distance and immediately became interested:

"You just said that the upper limit you can afford is about 10,000, right?"

The owl nodded:

"That's right, let's get it over with~"

"As long as it doesn't exceed this value, my body can withstand it."

between words.

He is full of confidence in his ability to withstand blows.

The same was true for Gabra who was standing by. He never worried about the owl's safety:
"Owl has never been hurt in the Six-style game, don't worry~"

"No accidental injuries"

"Then I'll... give it a try!"

When the sound landed.

Gawain appeared in front of the owl. He clenched his fist, felt the strength in his hand, and said:

"I'm only using 40% of my strength. If you can hold on, you win!"

"Stop looking down on people!"

"Let's go ahead~"

The owl frowned slightly, thinking that this was a deliberate humiliation from Gawain.

But before he could vent his anger, he felt a violent gust of wind blowing, making his hair dance wildly.

Even before Gawain's fist got close, a dent had already appeared on the owl's skin...

Something is wrong!
It's going to happen!

"wait--!"

boom!
After a muffled sound, the owl's expression was distorted, and it opened its mouth to vomit the bitter water in its stomach, and lost consciousness on the spot.

His body was blown away by Gawain's powerful force, and kept skipping on the water, sliding all the way to the end of everyone's sight.

For a moment, the scene was eerily quiet.

Amid the splashing water, Gawain's mouth twitched:
"Oh no, I lost my strength!"

"Kro, help!"

With Gawain's exclamation, everyone present came back to their senses and looked in the direction where the owl disappeared, unable to utter a word.

soon.

Clo brought the owl back and placed it on the deck.

At this moment, the owl's face was pale and he had completely lost consciousness. Only the rising and falling of his chest proved that he was still alive.

After counting the breaths.

"hiss--!"

The owl suddenly opened his eyes, the pain in his chest made his lips tremble, and he looked at Gawain as if he had seen some monstrous beast.

"I... can't calculate it. That blow far exceeded my endurance limit."

"Is the four-point force already unpredictable to you?"

Gabra swallowed.

He knew what that meant.

The upper limit of an owl's tolerance is 10,000, which means that if this value is exceeded, he may be injured.

But with only 10,000 Dao power, it is absolutely impossible to knock the owl unconscious.

In other words, Gawain's one-fourth of his strength far exceeds ten thousand Dao forces. So how much would his full strength be?
Thirty thousand?

forty thousand?

Or more?

Jabura knew that there was a huge gap between himself, and even between Lucci and Gawain, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and he guessed that Gawain's power would be very high.

But it's high enough to make people despair.

What the hell am I doing here!
He turned his head and found that Weidou was rubbing his eyes frantically.

Obviously, this scene made Weiqu feel like he was hallucinating.

But whether it was the cold wind blowing on his face or the aches in his body, they were all reminding him that the monster in the distance was real.

"We should all be thankful that the guy didn't have the intention to kill."

Gabra sighed:
"Do not."

"Perhaps it's not that the guy didn't want to kill, but he held back for Lucci's sake."

"How ironic."

As the two of them sighed, Zoro and others in the distance gradually recovered from their silence.

"This is a bit outrageous, isn't it? The captain's power is higher than all of us combined?"

Sanji slowly took out the cigarette butt from his mouth, opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke, muttering:
"It really is……"

"A monster so pure that I don't even have the slightest desire to challenge him!"

"Ah~"

Fan Oka appeared beside the crowd without knowing when, and looked at Gawain in the distance with drooping eyelids:

"Isn't it always like this, Captain?"

"Overwhelmingly powerful."

"Even a monster like Yan Zai Jin, whose bounty is over 1.3 billion, is no match for him."

"Besides, for a man who wants to reach the top, it is natural for him to be this strong."

"makes sense."

Cloe pushed up his glasses with his hand, but the indifference on his face only lasted for a moment before he could no longer hold it in:
"But no matter how you look at it, this gap is too big. How did that guy cultivate?"

He knew that Gawain's learning ability was abnormal to the extreme. He could kill himself with just one look, and he even learned the six styles of the navy directly after observing for a month.

But this kind of thing relies more on the talent of comprehension ability, but even if the Dao force value is not rigorous, it is not difficult to judge that this is something that relies purely on physical talent.

Superb comprehension coupled with monster-level physical abilities...

"This world is crazy to allow people like this to mess around."

"but."

"What we should worry about now is whether we will end up like those people in the East China Sea because we can't keep up with him."

The sound fell to the ground.

All the pirates fell silent, but there was a fire burning in their eyes.

After just a moment, everyone resumed their practice without saying a word.

They work even harder and more diligently than before, and push their bodies to the limit.

Even people like Gabra who came from the CP organization couldn't help but feel a pang of disgust when they saw this scene.

They even saw a blood vessel burst in a pirate's thigh!

"Although I can understand that this may be the reason why they are so powerful..."

"But no matter what, this level of training will only make the body unable to bear it, and even leave permanent damage, right?"

far away.

Hearing this, Lu Qi stopped what he was doing and asked in confusion:
“Isn’t this level normal?”

"How is this normal?"

Gabra's eyelids were twitching, and seeing that no one was interested in paying attention to him, he stood aside.

But the more he saw Lucci practicing hard, the more unwilling he became.

A few minutes later, Gabra took off his shirt, threw it in Owl's hand, turned around and joined the group of practitioners, and began to compete with Lucci secretly.

into the night.

Gao Wen sat at his desk, looking at the system prompt for today's harvest experience number, and nodded with satisfaction.

As a result of everyone's hard work in cultivation, Gao Wen's income today increased by another 30%.

"Sure enough, we still have to put pressure on them to bring stronger motivation."

Gawain's eyes swept across the system panel, finally landing on swordsmanship and armed color domineering.

Now both of these skills have reached the critical point, and new entries can be unlocked by upgrading them to the next level.

No matter which skill is improved, it will greatly increase Gawain's combat power.

The former is Gawain's main fighting force, needless to say, and the latter can make up for Gawain's shortcomings in domineering.

Gao Wen couldn't help but look forward to it secretly.

He knows.

Once you enter the new world, the opponents you will have to face are top powerhouses like the Four Emperors and Admirals.

And these people really have the potential to penetrate the shield and kill themselves instantly by relying on their dominance.

At least Gawain didn't have the confidence that he could withstand Red Hair's miraculous dodge that instantly killed Kidd.

Therefore, in addition to the three basic qualities of physique, swordsmanship, and red dragon, domineering aura is the most important one.

……

A few days later.

The Gawain Pirates had a rare period of peace and quiet.

In addition to practicing, Lucci was also responsible for organizing the ship's shipwrights to repair the ship.

The Raven's power system quickly returned to normal.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape and that it would be more advantageous for them to stay, Gabra and the other two decided to stay on the boat in the name of protecting Vivi.

The more they watched Lucci practice, the more uneasy they felt.

The feeling of watching teammates roll was like having thousands of ants crawling on your body, and eventually all three of them joined the group of roll kings.

Gao Wen naturally had no objection to this.

After all, there are three more leeks, and Gabura is also an animal-type ability user who can help Gawain improve the progress of the Red Dragon Fruit.

If the system did not allow it, Gawain would even want to let them experience the bonus of the Captain's Wrath in advance.

……

Time flies and several days pass.

After Lucci made a final inspection of the Raven's power system, he walked into the captain's room and reported the details to Gawain.

"The power system has basically returned to normal, but the ship still has structural problems. If we want to solve it completely, the best way is to replace it with another ship."

Gawain nodded:
"It's just what we have to do for now."

"Wait until we enter the new world, or until you get the design drawings of Pluto, and then we can rebuild a ship of our own."

"Ah."

Half a day later.

The Gawain Pirates set sail again, heading towards Alabasta.

As early as a few days ago, Gawain informed Cobra of the news about Vivi.

The latter was solely concerned about his daughter's safety, so he naturally agreed to the 100 million ransom demanded by Gao Wen without any hesitation.

The two sides agreed to exchange hostages at Rapeseed Port.

……

now.

Alabasta Royal City.

Cobra sat on the King's throne with a tired look on his face, looking at the information collected by Jakka, Bell and others.

His brows were furrowed.

"Is the reason for Lady Vivi's disappearance because of pirates?"

Bell said angrily with anger in his eyes that was difficult to conceal:

"Sure enough, not every Shichibukai is like Crocodile."

"Even though he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Knight Gawain is still just a pirate after all."

Jaka nodded.

Obviously he agreed with Bell's point of view.

After all, in recent years, Crocodile has been active in Alabasta, annihilating pirates everywhere, and has accumulated a lot of popularity.

Whether they were civilians, officials of Alabasta, or even the royal guards, they all had a favorable impression of him.

Cobra glanced at the two of them and said nothing. He focused all his attention on the information in his hands:

"Ever since Alabasta turned into a desert hundreds of years ago, the country has been in long-term poverty."

"It's already extremely difficult for the people here to survive. I hope they really are here for the ransom."

But at this moment.

A deep and hoarse voice sounded from outside the hall:

"Of course he couldn't have come for the ransom."

Crocodile walked in slowly, looked at Cobra calmly, and said:
"As for the reason, as the king, you should know it better than me. After all, that guy is the user of the Red Dragon Fruit of this generation."

Cobra stood up suddenly, his pupils trembling:
"Has the devil who turned this kingdom into a desert... been reborn again?"

"Yes."

Cobra suddenly became serious.

Even though he had seen a glimpse of the red dragon in the records of the Alabasta royal family.

But he could still feel the harm that the fruit brought to the country, like a natural disaster.

If the user of the Red Dragon Fruit were to reappear in Alabasta, the country's last bit of living space would be destroyed.

"no!"

"This matter is no longer something we can handle..."

At this moment, even if Cobra was unwilling to ask the World Government for help, he had to bow his head.

Neither this country nor his daughter can withstand the slightest risk.

"I'll report it to the Navy. It's an emergency. They'll take action."

"and many more."

Cobra's action was interrupted by Crocodile.

Just as he was puzzled, Crocodile's next words were like pouring cold water on him:
"If that guy finds out about the navy's movements, he might kill her, and your daughter's life will be in danger right away."

"so what should I do?"

Cobra sat down dejectedly and touched his forehead.

It was because he knew that what Crocodile said was a fact that was very likely to happen.

Even in Alabasta, a member country of the World Government and one of the twenty countries that created the world, it is a major country with hundreds of thousands of standing troops.

Every year, countless commoners and nobles die at the hands of pirates.

"I can help you."

Crocodile had a hint of a smile on his face.

Looking at Cobra's reaction, he knew that his plan was mostly successful.

Actually.

When Weiwei appeared at Whiskey Peak a month ago, he had already received the news and even sent out his key members to hunt her down.

Although the assassinations failed one after another, it had no impact on the overall situation.

And judging from the fact that Vivi did not seek support from the World Government, even if she knew something, she had no evidence.

But things are different now.

Weiwei boarded Gawain's ship.

If Gao Wen really knew something from Wei Wei, he might even guess his purpose.

The deployment of Baroque Works here, and the so-called heroic scenes that they had played for several years while enduring disgust, will all become a joke and be wiped out by the world government that has reacted.

But after learning that Gawain's purpose was only to extort a ransom from Cobra, things took a turn for the better for Crocodile.

He found the perfect plan.
