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

Chapter 250 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
"Are we finally saved?!"

"There is no gunfire, no smoke in the air..."

"But Paluch has already..."

Some people covered their faces and cried loudly for their family members who passed away in this incident.

The pressure that had been accumulating in my heart due to survival and fear completely burst out at this moment of complete relaxation.

The sounds of sobbing came one after another.

Only those who have truly experienced this suffering will understand how wonderful it feels to be able to stand under the sun without worrying about pirates' bullets.

"Fortunately, everything will soon pass, and we will be able to get a new life."

……

Bingshan looked at the cheering crowd in the distance, and he let out a long sigh, saying:

"Although I don't know the exact reason, the pirates besieging the Seven Water Capital seem to be gradually retreating."

"Based on this situation, perhaps the Seven Waters City will soon see the dawn, and we will have a chance to rebuild the city."

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

His gaze swept across everyone present, and saw only pairs of tired but hopeful eyes.

"Mr. Iceberg, you are the one who has worked the hardest. You haven't had any chance to rest during this period."

Barry shook his head and looked at Iceberg with undisguised admiration and respect in his eyes.

"what."

Iceberg smiled slightly:
"I hope everything will pass."

"I must protect this city that my teacher left behind, even if it costs me my life."

"Fortunately, we now see hope——!"

just.

Before Bingberg could finish his words, a shrill scream was heard again from the sky in the distance.

call out!
call out!
call out!
The dense artillery fire instantly tore a hole in the sky and fell into the crowd with a red flame tail.

boom!
A fire lotus suddenly exploded on the ground, and the people who were cheering just now were blown into pieces.

The splattered blood fell on Bingshan's face, and the warm and slippery touch made him feel cold all over.

"withdraw!"

"Retreat to the shelter!"

Barry, who was the first to react, protected the pale Iceberg behind him and took him to hide in the Cabrera Shipyard.

The bewildered civilians around also reacted at this moment and fled to the rear desperately.

The sunshine just now seemed like a dream to them, and now they were awakened.

As everyone fled, on the distant horizon.

Countless pirates, holding pirate flags high, rushed into the Seven Water City frantically, like locusts passing through, devouring everything within their sight.

The leading man was extremely tall, holding a trident in his hand, and he moved towards the Carrera factory step by step.

His eyes were extremely calm, but the sense of oppression emanating from them was stronger than that of anyone else present.

"That guy is... the leader of the Big Mom Pirates, Charlotte Katakuri, the leader of the Four Sweet Stars, with a bounty of 1,570,000,000 Baileys!"

Lucci, who led the defense forces to fight, looked at Katakuri in the distance with an extremely solemn expression.

"How many?!"

Franky was shocked by the number. He lifted his sunglasses and looked at the figure in the distance in a daze, thinking he was hallucinating.

In a paradise where a bounty of over 100 million is already an astronomical figure, a bounty of 1 billion can be said to be a myth.

What made him shudder even more was the meaning of the bounty.

That is incomparable power!

At this moment, there was only one word in Franky's mind...

escape!
The further away the better!

"Lucci, we..."

"I'll go stop that guy, you take the president and the others and retreat!"

Lucci took a deep breath, and in an instant he transformed into a paper-painted warrior form. He stepped on the ground and turned into a shadow, disappearing into the air.

next moment.

when!
The leopard's claw and the trident collided in mid-air, making a deafening explosion.

Katakuri firmly blocked Lucci's attack, and the tremendous force flowed through his body and poured onto the ground beneath his feet, causing the ground to sink in an instant and spread spider-web-like cracks.

Feeling the power coming from the trident, Katakuri suddenly became interested:

"Oh~"

"No wonder the Seven Waters could hold out for so long under the siege of so many pirates. Is it because of a person like you?!"

"Nice strength, but not enough to be my opponent."

"Hand over the Pluto design, and I can promise to spare your life."

Lu Qi clenched his teeth. The oppressive feeling from the man in front of him almost made him think that he was facing the former Gawain.

The feeling of being completely seen through only made him feel terrified.

But he knew more clearly that he had no way out at this moment.

During the years he was lurking here, although he was carrying out missions for the CP organization, his friendship with several foremen such as Barry, Bipley and Lulu could not be faked.

Bingshan had cultivated him, so it was impossible for him to watch these people die at the hands of Katakuri.

"What you are looking for is not here. If you want to attack them, you have to get past me first!"

"Fearless courage!"

Katakuri shook his head, his tone gradually becoming colder:

"If it were normal, I might still have time to play with you."

"But my first priority now is to seize the Pluto design and then leave as quickly as possible."

"Unfortunately."

"Your luck is not good."

He raised his hand and clenched it. The ground around him seemed to come alive and turned into countless pitch-black rice cake fists, smashing towards Lucci like an overwhelming force.

“This is… awakening!”

Lucci pulled back violently, but his retreat was blocked by Katakuri's fist the next moment.

Then, dense and rainy rice cake fists covered Lucci and everything around him!
……

……

……

at the same time.

In the sea near the Seven Water City, ten thousand meters above the sky, several floating islands are quietly hovering in the clouds.

The golden lion stood on the bow, overlooking the sea below.

"Captain, according to the intelligence we have received, the Pluto design has fallen into the hands of Knight Gawain."

"Which little devil is it?!"

A ferocious smile appeared on the golden lion's lips.

The battle at Rapeseed Harbor left a very deep impression on him.

What's more, he saw in the latter the shadow of the powerful people who competed with him for supremacy in that era.

"interesting."

"Tell me more about it."

Spandine continued:
"Gawain and his gang disguised themselves as navy soldiers and clashed with Snag, one of the four generals of the Wan Guo Dessert, in the waters outside the Seven Waters City. They also snatched two CP agents lurking in the Seven Waters City from Snag."

"It is highly likely that these two people possess the design drawings of Pluto, or at least have information close to the truth."

"Wan Guo... Ling Ling, that woman?!"

A hint of nostalgia appeared in the golden lion's eyes:

"Back when she was on that bastard Rocks' ship, she had a very good relationship with that brat Kaido."

"Times have changed. Has the little kid become a big shot who can call the wind and rain on the sea?!"

A hint of fear flashed in Spandine's eyes.

Now, the pirate who is close to the top is just a woman and a kid in the eyes of Golden Lion? ! If someone else said this, Spandine would just think that person is crazy, but when it comes from Golden Lion's mouth, there is nothing wrong with it.

He has the qualifications and the ability to do so.

"The pirates currently entrenched around the Seven Water Capital are gradually dispersing. I think this should be true."

"So our next step is to track down the knight Gawain or..."

"and many more!"

The golden lion paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at Sipandam, and said:

"What did you say?!"

"Should we--!"

"last sentence!"

"The pirates entrenched around the Seven Water Capital are gradually dispersing... Are you saying this might be a trap?!"

Spandine reacted instantly:

"Someone is using this incident to plot a conspiracy?! Is Knight Gawain being used by someone?!"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

The Golden Lion nodded:

"The Seven Waters City is now wide open. If the Pluto design is still in the Seven Waters City, now is the best opportunity."

"Without the interference of other pirates, with our strength, we can completely flatten it in half a day at most!"

Spandine couldn't help but remind him:

"But it is also possible that it is in the hands of the knight Gawain, and we may fail in our quest to reach the Seven Waters City."

"Do you know where the knight Gawain is now?!"

"This……"

Hiss Pandam was speechless for a moment.

The Golden Lion continued:

"Since we are all gambling, we should naturally choose the one with a greater possibility!"

"Besides, if this is really a trick of that woman Lingling, then they must be taking action in the Seven Water City at this time."

"And if it is in the hands of Knight Gawain, then we still have a chance. If that guy really wants to hide, the worst that can happen is that he will break up into small pieces, scatter on the spot, and reunite in other seas in a different form."

"That guy's strength is naturally no match for me, but it's not difficult to escape."

Thinking of this.

The Golden Lion has made up his mind:
"You... forget it, I'll go to the Seven Water City myself to take a look!"

"Yes!"

The sound fell to the ground.

A roar was heard above the floating island in the clouds.

Countless violent beasts active in the forest suddenly felt their bodies lose weight, and then the ground beneath their feet began to rush away into the distance at an astonishing speed.

Luo slowly sheathed the Ghost Axe and turned to look at the palace on the central floating island:

"Is that guy finally going to take action?!"

"Looking at the situation in the Seven Water Capital, it should not be optimistic."

"but."

"This has nothing to do with me. I have only one goal, to take down the Golden Lion and that guy's head!"

……

……

……

Two days later.

A small boat docked at the port of the City of Seven Waters.

Clo jumped off the deck and looked at the city that was almost completely razed to the ground, holding his breath for a moment.

"The whole city is..."

Nami couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, her pupils trembling.

Originally, in his mind, everything Aaron did in Windmill Village was already brutal.

But it is far less than what the Seven Water City is like at this moment.

"really."

"The captain's conjecture is correct."

Fan Oka walked forward slowly and stopped in front of a shelling pit. He stretched out his hand to touch the charred soil on the ground, sniffed it, and then made a judgment:

“These shelling pits will last no more than three days.”

"That is to say, after the siege of Water Seven was lifted, another group of pirates attacked here. They are most likely from the Bankoku."

"That Luqi..."

Khalifa's eyes tightened, but she didn't dare to say her guess out loud. However, everyone understood what he meant and they all looked worried.

Everyone also had a solemn expression.

Two days ago, after Gawain escaped from the pirates' pursuit and hid the Raven, he and the others went their separate ways.

He himself was searching for traces of the Wan Guo Pirates in the nearby waters.

However, Kro and others changed their appearance and sneaked into the Seven Waters City.

At this point in time, most of the pirates were attracted by Gawain, and the pressure on Water Seven City suddenly decreased.

According to Gao Wen's speculation.

Even if Big Mom were to take action here, it would not be a high-profile move. It would most likely be an elite force sneaking into the Seven Water City.

With Cloe's strength and speed, even if he meets Katakuri in a head-on combat, he will most likely not be his opponent, but escaping will not be a problem.

Clo looked around and said in a deep voice:
"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead."

"Search separately first. Once you find Lucci or someone from the Seven Waters, send a message and we'll reunite."

"Seek help immediately when in danger!"

"it is good!"

Everyone nodded.

After Kaku and Bruno looked at each other, they nodded solemnly to Kro.

During this time on the ship, they already knew that they were not on a naval ship at all.

Crow and his men are not navy men at all, but pirates, pirates under the command of Gawain, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

But they also understood the whole story and knew that Lucci was even willing to sacrifice himself for the people on this ship.

While the two were shocked, they also knew exactly what these people meant to Lu Qi, so even though they saw through it, they tacitly did not point it out.

While everyone maintained a tacit understanding, they were also increasingly curious about what Lu Qi had experienced during this period that led to such a huge change.

It's simply...it's simply not like they are the same person!

However, time was tight and the two did not have the energy to ask Khalifa for information.

But what they know clearly is that Lucci is far more important to them than the World Government and the so-called justice!

……

Following Clo's order, everyone divided into groups of three and instantly dispersed into the Seven Water City, searching for possible intelligence nearby.

Khalifa, Kaku, and Bruno were placed in the same group.

"Lucci's return to the Seven Waters should be for the mission of Pluto's design drawings."

“It follows that whatever course he chooses to take, he will eventually return to the Carrera shipyard.”

"Mayor Bingshan is the apprentice of shipwright Tom, and the design of Pluto was originally in Tom's hands. If we follow this clue, Bingshan is the most likely candidate."

Kaku spoke calmly as he led Kalifa and Bruno towards the old site of Carrera Company.

just.

When they arrived, all they saw was ruins.

The tall building that originally stood in the center of the Seven Water City has now completely collapsed, with broken limbs scattered everywhere, emitting a disgusting stench.
