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

Chapter 28: Enlightenment
Lord's Mansion.

Gao Wen took Guan Ze Masamune from Gaza.

Although it was the first time he held the handle of the knife, the feeling from the blade still made him so excited that his arms couldn't help but tremble.

It is a wonderful feeling of blood connection, extremely mysterious and difficult to describe in words.

Zheng!
As Gawain exerted force with his hands, the silver-white blade slowly came out of the sheath.

The length of the blade alone is over 1.2 meters, and including the handle, the overall length is about 1.5 meters.

In terms of shape, it is more like a wild sword, which most people are not used to using, but it is just right for Gawain who is over two meters tall.

The style of Guanze Masamune is obviously different from the famous sword of the country of Wa in Gao Wen's impression.

There are not too many complicated knife patterns on the blade, only a chrysanthemum-shaped mark carved on the blade guard. However, the simpler the appearance, the more people can feel the sharpness of the blade.

"Good knife!"

Gao Wen gave a heartfelt compliment. Jasmine beside him raised her chin slightly, revealing a look of sympathy:

"Of course. This is a famous sword that the Lord spent more than half a year and countless Baileys to obtain from the master of Isshin Dojo."

“Even if it is placed on the Grand Line, it is an absolute masterpiece!”

"Humph!"

Gao Wen smiled faintly.

He didn't know if it was fate or the spirit of the famous sword, but at this moment, he and the Guanshi Zhengzong in his hand actually felt a sense of mutual understanding.

"You're eager too, right?"

"Drink the blood of your enemies!"

Gawain spoke in a firm tone, raised his hand and swung the blade, without exerting much force, he released a silver flying slash that sank into a small building in the distance.

Then, under the frightened eyes of the two girls, the upper part of the small building slowly slid down, revealing a cut as smooth as a mirror.

boom!
The dust and smoke were everywhere and the blade was buzzing.

Gawain suppressed his excitement and looked at the two girls, saying:

"You guys find a place to hide first, and leave the fighting to me."

After saying this, Gawain flashed and disappeared from the lord's mansion.

When Gaza saw this scene, she inexplicably felt more confident. Now she had placed all her hopes on Gawain and could only win and not lose.

After sending Jasmine into the cellar, Gaza gritted his teeth and locked the cellar with his backhand. He ignored Jasmine's anxious call and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion with a determined look in his eyes.

This is her territory, and those within it are her people.

Having enjoyed power and money, they should protect the people who once respected them in times of crisis.

"Captain of the Guard, follow me out of the house and organize a rescue!"

"Yes!"

……

……

……

After leaving the Lord's Mansion, Gawain accelerated all the way and headed towards the port where the fighting was most intense.

Visible to the naked eye.

On the sea in the distance, a whole row of pirate ships armed to the teeth were gradually approaching. With Gawain's eyesight, he could even see the strangely shaped flag of Creek.

A skull and crossbones flag with hourglasses on either side.

Gao Wen vaguely remembered that the meaning of this flag was, no matter where you go, I will find you!
The enemy is currently.

Gao Wen, who held the authentic Guanshi in his hand, did not feel the slightest fear in his heart. Instead, he felt a vague sense of inexplicable anxiety.

I was worried that there were too few opponents and I would fall down before I could even move.

Anxious that the enemy is too weak and Guanshi Zhengzong has not yet opened its attack, he has to wait for the next meal, which may come at an unknown time.

"You must hold on a little longer!"

A sinister smile appeared on Gawain's lips, but his footsteps suddenly stopped the next moment, crushing the floor beneath his feet.

Just because a familiar system prompt sound appeared in Gao Wen's mind:

"Crew Kro realizes his true self!"

"Potential improvement: Bronze --> Silver!"

"Awakening Observation Haki! Current level - LV-0!"

……

"This is!!!" "His potential has broken through? He even awakened his Observation Haki?"

Gawain looked shocked:

"What on earth has happened to Chloe?"

The sudden change is no longer a surprise but a shock.

He still remembered that he had only mentioned it to Clo at the beginning, and actually had no hope for him to awaken his Observation Haki.

But it's only been a few days?
Have you already awakened to the color of seeing and hearing?

Awakening the Observation Haki before entering the Grand Line was truly a pleasant surprise.

Even though his level was not high, Gawain had the system. With every little progress Clo made, he could gain ten times as much. In a few months, he could reach a level sufficient for actual combat!

"The stronger my subordinates are, the stronger I am. When my subordinates awaken their abilities, I can also awaken them!"

"The system's capabilities are even more exaggerated than I expected!"

Besides, awakening to the awareness of seeing, hearing, and color is only secondary. What is more important is to understand one’s own nature, so as to enhance one’s own potential?

Can you even make the leap from bronze to silver?

You should know that in the system's division, Silver covers the levels from Commodore to Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, as well as a small number of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Such combat power would be well-known even in the New World.

It can be said that once Cloe fully realizes his potential, he can be regarded as a core combat force in any force.

Originally, in Gawain's speculation, there were only two ways to improve potential: devil fruit and human body transformation, but now it might require an additional change in mentality.

Gawain realized it only now.

Haki, as another way of the pirate world parallel to the devil fruit, is essentially an extremely idealistic power.

The stronger the belief, the stronger the dominance. Conversely, if the belief collapses, the dominance will decline to a terrifying level in a short period of time.

Crocodile is the most typical example.

When he was young, he made great progress and made his way to the New World. His fighting power was comparable to Barrett. However, he was defeated miserably by Whitebeard and his strength plummeted. The core problem was the decline of his domineering aura.

It's still Crocodile.

Twenty years later, after he walked out of Impel Down and regained his belief in becoming the Pirate King, he was able to fight against top warriors like Hawkeye.

"However, given his strength breakthrough, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit still given his temper."

A smile appeared on Gawain's lips.

His eyes were stern.

My growth rate is ten times faster than yours. Even if you work so hard that you vomit blood, you still have to call me Captain!

Shaking his head to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind, Gao Wen tightly grasped the Guanshi Zhengzong in his hand, accelerated his feet, and in just a few dozen seconds, he crossed a distance of nearly a thousand meters and arrived at the port.

The scene inside made him slightly stunned.

The setting sun had left only a ray of light, making the sky look even more red, but not as red as the blood all over the harbor.

Clo was covered in blood, standing in the harbor.

One arm was twisted like a pretzel, and one leg was completely deformed. It was obvious that he was at the end of his rope and on the verge of reaching his limit.

But his spirit and momentum were unprecedentedly high at this moment, so much so that Gawain frowned slightly when he saw it.

In front of Clo.

Ah Jin had already fallen in a pool of blood, his skin and flesh were rolled up and covered with scars.

If it weren't for his chest still rising and falling, Gawain would have thought he was dead.

"Gawain, you're too slow."

Clo raised his trembling hand and subconsciously used his palm to push up his glasses. It took him several attempts before he succeeded.

The claw knife on the fingertips was completely broken due to the countless collisions just now.

His fingers were all blue and purple.

Despite being seriously injured, Clo's tone was exceptionally calm:
"An easy life?"

"I do not want it."

"When I recover from my injury, I will be the captain."

"I will take the position of Shichibukai, and I will fulfill our agreement!"

Gawain showed an expression that said, “As expected.”
"Okay, but you have to get past me first."

"I will!"
