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

Chapter 252 Dragon-Shaped Nuclear Weapon

"Whether Knight Gawain chooses to flee or stay and fight head-on, it will attract the attention of all pirates and buy us enough time."

"Now that we have succeeded, even if the other pirates react, it will be too late."

"Knight Gawain will definitely suffer this loss."

Perospero nodded, but he had another concern in his mind:
"Mom, Knight Gawain is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea after all. According to the intelligence we received, he defeated the former admiral of the navy and threatened the World Government before he was qualified to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"He is quite powerful. If he comes to take revenge, we will..."

"Then let him come!"

The aunt's mouth curled up, her eyes were ferocious and cruel:

"There are countless new strong men emerging in this sea every year, but how many of them can gain a foothold in the new world?"

"Not to mention attacking the Four Emperors after you gain a firm foothold!"

"The gap between him and me, and the existence standing at the top of this world, is beyond his imagination."

"Even the level of Katakuri, no one has been able to pass it for so many years, let alone stand in front of me!"

"After all, this ocean is a cruel world where the winner takes all and the loser is at the mercy of others!"

"And we are undoubtedly standing at the top of the pyramid!"

"That's right!"

Perospero nodded heavily, his worries completely gone, and an extremely excited expression appeared on his face:

"As long as we can continue to grow stronger, no matter if it's Red Hair, Kaido or Whitebeard, those monsters will not be able to stop us from reaching the top!"

"A relationship connected by blood is far more solid than that of so-called companions."

“Even if the brothers and sisters occasionally had disputes, they always stood together when faced with life and death issues.”

As soon as these words came out.

The aunt looked at Perospero with even more satisfaction. She couldn't help but reach out and touch the latter's head, like a loving mother.

But only the children sitting at the dining table knew how ugly her true face was.

Anyone who dares to disobey Big Aunt in Wan Guo will have a part of his soul taken away.

The total amount of a person's soul is limited and directly linked to his lifespan. Once too many souls are taken away, there is even the possibility of death from old age on the spot.

Just like a few years ago, a certain fur tribe member who broke into the World of Nations had his soul sucked out and died on the spot because he bore the price for the captain.

The people present even still remember what that man looked like; he was a polar bear fur tribe member.

"Mom~Mom~"

The auntie chuckled as usual, then buried her head in eating the mountain of desserts on the table.

Although it was called a banquet, in reality the only one who was truly qualified to eat was the aunt.

Only after she is satisfied, it is time for everyone to eat.

……

Time flies and two days pass.

After the members of the Big-Mom Pirates learned that Katakuri had succeeded, they hid their tracks and stayed here waiting for support.

But at this moment.

There were bursts of whistling sounds coming from the sky. It was the roar caused by some huge object penetrating the air at high speed.

Ode——!
The pirates from all over the world who were on guard in the port became nervous in an instant.

They looked up, but saw nothing.

If several pirates hadn't raised their heads at the same time, they would have thought they were hallucinating.

"Something is flying through the sky!"

"The last person who could make a similar sound was Kaido, the Beast!"

"alert!"

"alert!"

Countless pirates went to the deck to investigate, but in the end they saw nothing.

Although the first few lookouts spoke with certainty, in the absence of evidence, they could only pretend that nothing had happened.

……

Among the clouds.

Gawain, who had transformed into a demon, lowered his eyes and looked down at the pirate ship in the harbor, his sight as sharp as a hawk:

"Although the pirate flags were removed to hide their identities, these ships all have a distinct international style and are gathered together."

"Can't be wrong!"

"This is where the fleet of all nations is hiding!"

"Since you want to use me as a shield and even hurt my companions, you must be prepared to be retaliated against!"

next moment.

Gawain's body expanded rapidly, and within a few breaths, he turned into a red dragon over 130 meters long.

Wings spread.

The shadow cast completely obscured the international fleet anchored in the port!
"What the hell!"

"What it is?!"

"dragon?!"

"A dragon different from Kaido?!"

"What the hell!"

"It's a user with special abilities, a user with special abilities of the mythical beast species!"

The pirates in the port instantly became excited, staring blankly at the huge figure in the sky.

Especially when seeing the pale blue flame brewing in the red dragon's mouth, one felt a chill down one's spine!

"Something's coming!"

"Is that guy crazy? How dare he challenge the fleet of all nations?!"

"We are... the Four Emperors!"

Some people instinctively put on the arrogant attitude of the Four Emperors, but when they saw the figure in the sky, they seemed a little lacking in confidence.

The old lady who was taking a nap in the cabin was suddenly awakened.

Although her observation Haki has not been cultivated to the level of being able to predict the future like Katakuri, she still possesses extraordinary perception abilities.

But at this moment, even the aunt felt a biting chill!

That thing can actually pose a threat to me? !
At the same time as being stunned.

The aunt's heart was filled with rage:

"How long has it been since anyone dared to challenge me?!"

"Since you're looking for death, I'll give you a ride!"

boom!
The aunt jumped up and broke through the cabin.

No further commands are required.

The hat on her head, which was a homage named Napoleon, instantly turned into a long knife and was held in the aunt's hand.

According to previous experience.

The next moment, the aunt would slash with her sword, sweeping away all the low-handed people in front of her.

There had been many newcomers who had entered the new world and walked in front of her, and they were all killed by her with one sword!

Everything should be as it should be!

But her pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip in the next moment!

"what is that?!"

"sun?!"

"No, it's a high-density energy source that has been compressed to the extreme. If this thing explodes at this distance, my fleet..."

"What a joke!"

The old lady instinctively raised her hand to swing the knife. But her action was a step too slow after all. Before the knife force was formed and the domineering aura was gathered, the energy ball exploded in mid-air...

"Red Emperor Cangxing!"

After a loud shout.

The world suddenly became quiet.

The Dragon Shizuku, which was as big as the sun, exploded, and the earth energy that was compressed to the extreme inside instantly spread to an area with a radius of several kilometers, almost swallowing up the entire port.

boom!
The extremely high temperature evaporated the sea water along with the flesh and blood of some pirates.

The aunt, who had to bear all this head-on, could only force Napoleon to protect her body, but was completely covered in the next moment.

At this moment, even with her physique comparable to that of a monster, she felt that her skin and flesh were about to be roasted!
You know, no matter whether it was Kaido's Azure Dragon's direct breath or the elemental attacks of the three admirals of the navy, she had taken them head-on but had never been injured. But this thing in front of her broke her defense at the mere moment of contact.

After all the noise around them died down, the pirate ship anchored in the harbor...

No, not only the pirate ship, but also the buildings of the entire port were flattened, and there was only flowing magma on the ground.

Most of the pirates from all nations died from this blow, including some dessert ministers.

Even those who survived were in a very miserable state at this moment.

Many of them were charred all over, their flesh and blood were burnt, and they kept howling in pain. It would be better for them to have died in the explosion just now!

"What on earth just happened... ahem!"

Perospero pushed away the candy that was protecting him, but he felt that every breath of air he took was like a flame licking his lungs.

His own skin was also red and severely burned.

Perospero didn't care about anything else at the moment. He used his remaining strength to make candies to protect himself like a suit of armor.

This is the ability of the Licking Fruit, which can consume physical strength to create something out of thin air, or turn objects it touches into candy.

Then Perospero looked around.

Almost everything in sight was melted. Red magma was flowing on the earth, flowing into the sea like rivers, forming a large amount of rising steam.

"Is this... caused by that thing just now?!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Even if it's an ancient weapon, it can only be this good, right?!"

Perospero simply couldn't describe his shock in words, but what followed was anger and fear, especially when he heard the wailing sounds all around him!

With just this one strike, all the warships of the nations that came here were destroyed, and countless soldiers were damaged.

"mom!"

Perospero instinctively called out to Big Mom, the rage that had been building up in his heart needed to be released.

Even if he only saw the figure in the sky, he knew that he was no match for the other party. If he wanted to defeat that kind of monster, he would need a more powerful monster.

And Big Mom is the monster who is always successful.

Those conceited newcomers who once walked up to the aunt with arrogance were no match for her sharp sword that was invincible.

The majesty of the Four Emperors is earned through absolute power!
No one is a match for my mom, absolutely no one!

Even over the years, there has never been an enemy capable of hurting her.

As long as mom is here, she can defeat all invading opponents.

Perospero and the people of the Ten Thousand Nations believed this almost paranoidly.

Perospero looked around, searching for Big Mom, but his gaze froze the next moment:

“Mom…you…”

The old lady who appeared in his sight at this moment looked extremely embarrassed.

She had just been hit at almost zero distance, and had blocked most of the power of the Red Emperor Cangxing.

Even the steel balloon, which had never been broken, was directly hit hard by the massive amount of earth energy that was concentrated by Gawain's body breaking and energy escaping.

Her outer clothes had been burned to ashes by the explosion, revealing her bloated body. Her entire body was red, her buttocks were curled up, and her originally pink hair was burned clean, leaving only a charred scalp.

"How could you... actually hurt Mom to this extent?!"

Perospero could hardly describe the shock he felt at the moment.

As Big Aunt's eldest son, he is also one of the ministers who has followed Big Aunt the longest among all the cadres in Wan Guo.

Perospero had never seen Big Mom hurt like this.

Even in the Valley of Gods more than 30 years ago, a brutal battle that brought together many powerful people at the time and almost changed an era, Big Mom was not injured to this extent.

"monster!"

"That guy is definitely a monster like mom, but who is he? And why is he attacking the nations?!"

The few survivors present were equally puzzled and they all looked up.

Then the red dragon in the sky began to shrink as its energy ran out, and finally it transformed into a winged human.

The man had blond hair, handsome features, and a cold murderous intent between his eyebrows, but he looked indescribably familiar to everyone.

It was not until a cry of surprise came that everyone showed a look of realization, followed by an even more indescribable shock and...

In awe.

"Is that guy the Knight Gawain?!"

Perospero's eyes widened:

"Knight Gawain? The scapegoat? How could that guy... How could he..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost invisible.

Why not?!
That guy became one of the Shichibukai by defeating the previous admiral.

This only means that he is stronger than the previous admiral, but who knows how much stronger?
Was that battle a fight to the death with equal strength, or a one-sided abuse? !
No one knows this.

Perospero didn't know either, all he knew was that his hands were shaking constantly.

There was not a moment's hesitation.

He simply dropped everything and ran away, without caring about his brothers and sisters who were still struggling to survive.

I didn't even see the despair in those people's eyes.

"If...if it was Katakuri-nii, he would definitely save us even at the risk of his life!"

"Perospero, you don't deserve to be on par with Brother Katakuri!"

……

"hiss--!"

A sharp breathing sound suddenly came from the center of the explosion.

The old lady gradually regained consciousness. The indescribable pain from her rolled up skin and flesh aroused a violent temperament that she had not felt for a long time.

Almost!
Just a little bit closer!
If I hadn't stopped Napoleon and even Prometheus in time, I would be dead!
The unprecedented near-death experience made the aunt tremble all over at this moment, and in contrast, the domineering aura around her was rising more and more.

Strong, violent, fierce...

The domineering aura of the Four Emperors turned into a tangible impact at this moment, blowing away the clouds in the sky.

The strands of hair on Gao Wen's forehead were blown wildly.

"You're still able to move after taking my map cannon head-on?"

"What a ghost!"

His eyes fell on the aunt, his eyes were extremely solemn:
"This domineering Haki is superior to mine in both quality and strength. Is there a gap between us even though we are both legendaries?!"

"Right."

"At that time, Roger was able to suppress Big Mom's hammer and even snatch the historical text from Big Mom without suffering any harm."

"However, the gap is not so big that we cannot beat them at all."

Gawain subconsciously pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist, but his vision blurred the next moment.

He just felt a sense of weakness in his body.

The Scarlet Emperor Cangxing that just flattened an island and destroyed Big Mom's fleet has almost drained all the energy in his body. Now he can't even maintain the form of a red dragon.

"Qi!"

"I can't fight in this state now. Let's find a place to absorb some earth energy and recover to our peak state first."
