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

Chapter 249 Trap
"By the way, Brother Snag!"

Babaluya looked around, searching for Snag.

soon.

Babaluya found Snag on a broken mast.

"Brother Snag, you..."

Babaluya swam to Snag's side and instinctively wanted to help Snag up, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

Gawain's strike almost cut Snag completely in half.

At this moment, there is only a little flesh connecting the upper and lower body. Even the best doctors are helpless to treat such injuries.

He won't live long, it's a miracle that he's still alive today.

"Is it Babaluya?!"

"it's me!"

Babaluya grabbed Snag's hand, feeling indescribable panic in his heart.

"This...is too badly injured!"

"I'll take you to the ship's doctor."

"Don't waste your energy. I don't have a chance."

Snag's eyes shone with a glimmer of light, but in the next moment, they were covered with fear and unwillingness:

"Can't be wrong!"

"The guy who attacked us during the day was not a marine, but a Knight Gawain, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"I remember very clearly that when that guy first became famous, my mother even mentioned in the palace that she wanted to try to breed with him."

"Send the information back!"

"Knight Gawain's fighting power is far stronger than ours and everyone else's expectations. As far as I can remember, the only person who can do this is my mother!"

"Even Brother Katakuri might not be his match."

"Woo..."

Halfway through his speech, Snag opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood. He tightly grasped Babaluya's hand, but let go the next moment, and his pupils gradually blurred.

he died.

Babaluya knew this, and at this moment he felt a chill all over his body, but he couldn't tell whether the chill was caused by the sea water or the fear.

In short, one thing Babaluya knew was that once this news spread back to Wano Country, neither Katakuri nor Big Mom would be able to sit still.

"We must pass the information here back!"

Babaluya took one last look at Snag's body, gritted his teeth, turned around and dived into the cold sea, swimming towards the nearest island.

……

A few hours later.

The Grand Route.

paradise.

The fleet of all nations had already set out for the Seven Water City more than half a month ago.

With Edwin as a hidden player, they got the news of Pluto's design drawings much earlier than others.

This time, in order to obtain the design drawings of Pluto and then get involved in the power of ancient weapons, almost all nations have come out in full force.

The elite troops that Big Aunt has trained for decades, except for the two generals, Smoothie and Cracker, who stayed behind in the base camp, the rest are basically all here.

now.

Fleet center.

On a huge ship guarded by dozens of pirate ships.

A group of dessert ministers and Katakuri who went on the expedition with Big Mom gathered here, and the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.

"Snag is dead."

"According to the information sent back by Babaluya, the attackers are a group of pirates disguised as navy officers. Their real identity is the current Shichibukai Knight Gawain!"

Perospero sat next to Big Mom and repeated the information he had just received with an expressionless face.

Hey!
A trident hit the ground, making a crisp sound. The veins on Katakuri's forehead throbbed, and his expression became frighteningly gloomy:

"Although Snag is impulsive and reckless, and eager to prove himself, he is still our brother. Anyone who attacks us must pay the price!"

"Mom~Mom~"

Big Mom put down the dessert in her hand, her eyes fell on Katakuri, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

Over the years, she has continued to marry with rare races, has had more than a dozen husbands, and has given birth to countless outstanding children.

Among them are many geniuses in various fields, and they hold important positions in the kingdom today.

But if we talk about the most outstanding one and the one who is most likely to reach her current height in the future, it would be Katakuri.

The superhuman fruit has awakened, with all three colors of domineering, and the observation Haki has been developed to the point where he can almost predict the future.

Katakuri's talent in fighting is so strong that it can be seen with the naked eye. Even within the Wano Country, he is known as the highest masterpiece.

just.

After all, it is still a little bit short of becoming a monster that can truly call the wind and rain on the sea.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you--!"

"Please wait a moment, Mom!"

Perospero suddenly spoke, interrupting what Big Mom was going to say next.

"Um?!"

Big Mom and Katakuri looked at Perospero at the same time. The invisible pressure made him sweat on his back, but he still said:
"I think there may be room for further manipulation."

"What's the meaning?!"

"Don't you think there are too many pirates in Water Seven?!"

Perospero took a deep breath and explained:

"Even as time goes by, more and more powerful people will gather in the Seven Water City. It is unrealistic for us to fight all the opponents at the same time."

"It would be better to divert their attention first, and we will take advantage of the chaos to take the Pluto design of the Seven Water City."

The aunt's eyes lit up, her bloated body slowly sat up straight, and she looked down at Perospero:
"Pull a scapegoat?!"

Perospero nodded:
"Anyway, the two spies from CP9 are most likely in the hands of Knight Gawain. Who can prove that they don't have the Pluto blueprints?!"

"feasible."

……

……

……

The Raven.

After Kaku and Bruno learned about Lucci's current situation, they were moved. They immediately passed their information back to the CP organization and asked about Lucci's whereabouts.

But there was no response from Spandam.

See this.

Even though he knew the possible risks, Gawain had no choice but to move forward to the Seven Water City.

Neither he nor anyone else on the ship could accept with peace of mind everything that guy had gained through his self-sacrifice.

Kaku and Bruno were temporarily unable to move, so they simply recuperated on Gawain's ship.

a few days later.

The Grand Route.

Gawain and his crew gradually approached the sea area where the Seven Water City was located, and more and more pirate ships passed by.

This was something Gawain had expected.

What he didn't expect was the pirate ship that rushed towards the Raven and launched an attack without any explanation.

“Is it happening again?!”

"Are these pirates crazy?!"

on the deck.

Gao Wen frowned, he had seen this kind of thing many times in the past few days.

This situation is very abnormal.

Generally speaking, any pirate with a normal mind would not choose to attack a warship.

The navy has hundreds of years of technology accumulated by the World Government. The standard warships are several levels stronger than ordinary pirate ships in terms of firepower and personnel configuration. Even when Gawain was building ships in Raven Harbor, he chose to directly transform the navy warships instead of building his own ships.

You have to know that what was in front of Gawain at that time was an old ship with hidden dangers, and its comprehensive performance was several levels better than the one rebuilt in Raven Harbor.

It is normal to see the navy chasing after the Pirate Hammer in this sea.

But as the Raven entered the vicinity of Water Seven, the pirates wandering around launched attacks without hesitation as soon as they saw the Raven's flag.

The first few times, Gao Wen just thought he had encountered some madman. By taking action a few times to show deterrence, similar incidents should be prevented to a large extent.

But the situation was exactly the opposite of what he expected.

Instead of retreating, the offensive of these pirates has intensified. Among the pirates that have attacked recently, there are even some ruthless characters with bounties of over 100 million.

Clo stood beside Gawain, looking at the pirate ship in the distance with a serious expression:

"This is already the third wave of pirates we have encountered today..."

"This situation is absolutely not normal!"

Gawain nodded, and after a brief thought, he gave up the idea of ​​taking action himself:
"This time you come, leave a few alive and ask what's going on."

"Ah."

Crow responded, then disappeared into the air and rushed towards the pirate ship in the distance.

His speed was already far beyond that of ordinary people, and after eating the Kamaitachi Fruit, which was extremely compatible with him, his speed was pushed to a terrifying level, and his combat power reached the level of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in one fell swoop.

Not to mention these ordinary pirates, even ordinary vice admirals of the navy have no power to resist Clo, so it is naturally no surprise that he is dealing with a group of pirates at this time.

A few minutes later.

The pirate ship in the distance suddenly disintegrated, and Kro's figure fell on the deck of the Raven in the next moment.

His expression was even uglier than before.

"Someone secretly spread the news that the design of Pluto is in our hands."

"How can it be?!"

Gao Wen was slightly stunned and asked in confusion:
"Our ship has just entered the waters near the Seven Water City. We don't have time to do this."

"Of course I know it's impossible, but these pirates don't have the brains to do that."

"Besides..."

As he spoke, Cloe looked back at Kaku Bruno and the other man in the cabin, and then continued:

"The news that Kaku and Bruno are on our ship has leaked out."

"Now the underground is saying that we have seized the CP organization's spy planted in the Seven Water City from Snag, one of the four generals of the dessert, and the Pluto design is in the hands of these two people."

"What's worse is that when Snag withdrew from Water Seven, all the pirates present at the time saw it."

"Now this matter is spreading around the Seven Water City."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes:
"Is Wan Guo planning to use me to attract firepower?!"

"I'm afraid so."

Clo nodded:
"We expected that our identities were exposed, but the real problem is the attitude of the world government."

"If they also become suspicious, I'm afraid we will face a siege from all sides. Even with your strength, it will be difficult to hold on."

"Withdraw or fight?"

Gao Wen shook his head, a stern look flashed in his eyes:
"If we retreat now, we will be fulfilling the wishes of those bastards from Wan Guo. They have calculated that the most rational thing to do at this time is to choose to retreat."

"Only if we draw away most of the firepower will they have enough time to deal with the Seven Water City."

Clo reminded:
"But if we continue to stay here, the risk is still too great for us."

"How can you accept being tricked like this?!"

Clo's eyes turned cold:
"Of course that's impossible."

"and many more--!"

"They're already here!"

Gawain looked up into the distance.

Densely packed pirate ships slowly emerged from the distant sea level, forming a dark line.

Ode——!
Ode——!
Ode——!
……

Dense rain of shells, with sharp whistles, shot towards the Raven.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The flames instantly covered the Raven, and mist splashed all over the sky, blocking everything in sight.

Gao Wen's expression became more and more ferocious at this moment. He felt very aggrieved, extremely aggrieved.

Wan Guo’s move was truly vicious.

If he resisted, he would have to face off against the vast majority of pirates near Water Seven City, and if he ran away he would draw most people's attention away.

These small fry are fine, the real trouble is those big pirates.

In short, no matter what, all nations can achieve their goals!
"Damn it!"

"Gawain...what should I do?!"

hiss--!
After a noticeable inhalation, Gawain's eyes gradually lit up:

"Kick the ball back the way it came to you!"

"Retreat first!"

"Split into two groups. You get off the ship, change your appearance, and go to Water 7 to find Lucci. I'm going to pull a big pile on the Big-Mom Pirates, and then we'll meet up at Water 7!"

"As for the World Government, you can stabilize Kalifa and Kaku first!"

"it is good!"

next moment.

Amid the mist, a huge red dragon grabbed the Raven and slowly rose into the air. In front of the dull eyes of the pirates, it sank into the clouds and disappeared.

……

……

……

With the deliberate instigation of all nations.

Just a few days.

The news that the Pluto design fell into Gawain's hands was spread throughout the world through the World Economic News.

"Did Knight Gawain get hold of the Pluto blueprints?!"

"We can't just sit there and wait for this to happen."

"That's right!"

"There is no point in continuing to besiege the Seven Waters. Our next target is the Knight Gawain!"

"As long as we get that thing, the rest of our lives will be guaranteed!"

A pirate licked his lips, with undisguised greed in his eyes, which attracted the attention of the people around him, who reminded him:

"They are the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"I even heard rumors that the guy was not invited by the World Government like the other Shichibukai, but he captured the former admiral and forced the World Government to make a deal with him!"

"In terms of strength, it is definitely a monster level!"

"Heh, he's not the only monster in this ocean!!"

"If you don't give it a try, how do you know we have no chance?!"

……

This news is like a shot in the arm for everyone.

The design drawings of Pluto really exist!
It was no longer just an unconfirmed rumor like before, and the whole world almost went crazy for a while.

In an instant, more than half of the pirates who had besieged Water Seven City were gone. They began to search the world for the Gawain Pirates, but found nothing.

……

now.

The capital of seven waters.

As some pirates left, the originally incessant artillery fire was no longer as intensive as before, and the whole city fell silent.

After nearly a month, a group of civilians once again walked out of the shelter.

As the sun shone on their bodies, they felt the long-lost warmth, and their bodies and minds relaxed at this moment.
