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

Chapter 290 The Warrior of the Sea, Sora, exists!

"Forehead……"

Reiju was taken aback.

Before she could react, Sanji vanished without a trace before her eyes, along with the invisibility black combat suit in her hand.

Reiju's lips twitched as she recalled the unusual interests that Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji shared in certain areas:
"That brat wouldn't do anything too outrageous, would he?!"

She reached up to touch her forehead, but ultimately couldn't suppress her worry and immediately chased after him.

……

A few minutes later.

Sanji, dressed as a chef, stood at the entrance of the women's bathhouse.

All that could be seen were slender women with fair skin and a rosy glow, coming and going.

Every now and then, silvery laughter would reach Sanji's ears, making his heart flutter.

With such a beautiful view before them, not only Sanji, but even passersby couldn't help but stop and admire it.

"With the ability to become invisible, I should be able to do that, right? That's my lifelong dream, another dream that's on par with All Blue!"

"I absolutely, positively must go and see the women's bathhouse!"

Sanji murmured softly.

At that moment, his heart was pounding in his throat, his whole body was burning up, and his breathing was becoming increasingly heavy.

"What...what's it like inside?!"

"Rising mist, a graceful figure, snow-white skin, slender..."

laugh!
Two streams of blood spurted from Sanji's nostrils, almost staining his chef's coat red.

He quickly covered his nose to stop the bleeding, then looked around to make sure no one was watching before activating the invisible black can in his hand.

boom!
A plume of white smoke exploded, and five-colored lights flashed, attracting the attention of countless people.

When Sanji reappeared, he had changed into a jet-black battle suit, with the number '3' printed on his cape.

This means that this is the third combat suit under the Germa 66!
Invisible Black!
Law, who had just taken Zoro to the hospital and was about to go back to rest, was stunned when he saw this scene.

"That's... the No. 3 Stealth Black of the evil Germa Legion, Sora's nemesis, the Warrior of the Sea?!"

"No, no, no, it's a hallucination, it must be a hallucination!"

Luo reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking he was just hallucinating from overwork.

"Sora, the Warrior of the Sea, is just a comic book character. How could he possibly exist in reality?!"

"Besides, it's just a comic book that kids like. To a man like me who aspires to become strong, it's just a childish fantasy."

Luo said this, but his legs felt like lead and he couldn't move an inch. He gritted his teeth and said:
"I'll just take a look!"

Old Luo blushed, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Sanji gradually disappearing into the air. But he would never forget that battle suit, that all-black battle suit!

"There's no mistake, that's definitely Stealth Black, the enemy of Sora, the Warrior of the Sea, and one of the evil warriors of Germa 66!"

"The battle robe is soft, yet it serves as a high-performance shield, capable of withstanding the bombardment of warships; the combat boots on the feet provide power for aerial walking and allow for the mastery of fiery kicks!"

"Besides that, there's the most important ability!"

"Invisible!"

At this moment, Luo's soul trembled.

It felt like one day you were walking down the street and Daigo suddenly came up to you and returned the light he had borrowed from you years ago—an indescribable thrill!
"We've got the stealth black one, so what about the winch green, the electric blue, the spark red... and the sea warrior Sora, and the super robot too?!"

"Where is Sora, the sea warrior who fought against evil?!"

Luo looked around, searching for any possible figure in the crowd.

After all, Sora, the Warrior of the Sea, always manages to stop Germa from carrying out their evil plans.

This time will definitely be no exception!

"You know, the direction the Invisible Black disappeared from was the women's bathhouse!"

"That guy is absolutely wicked!"

Suddenly, a chilling aura emanated from the women's bathhouse in the distance, almost making Luo think he had witnessed Gawain make his move.

"I gave you the combat suit, not for this!"

"asshole!"

The furious female voice fell to the ground.

A figure dressed in a jet-black combat suit shot out of the women's bathhouse like a cannonball, crashing through several buildings before finally coming to a stop.

Luo couldn't help but turn his head to look, and saw Reiju, wearing a pink combat suit, with a cold expression and suppressing her rage, walking out of the women's bathhouse step by step.

"It's highly poisonous powder!"

"Sora, the warrior of the sea, really does exist!"

Luo shouted excitedly, his whole being becoming incredibly excited by the intense stimulation, like an old child who had just met his childhood idol but still remembered the thrill he felt back then.

If the other person wasn't a villain, he would have wanted to go up and ask for an autograph on the spot!
As for adults... haven't adults ever been children? Does wanting to become stronger conflict with my liking for Sora, the warrior of the sea?!
……

far away.

Reiju glanced at Law, only remembering that he was one of the officers of the Gawain Pirates.

But noticing the way Luo looked at her like she was an idol, she immediately understood what was going on.

no way.

As the only designated villain group in the North Sea, the strength of Germa 66 is secondary; their popularity is absolutely top-notch.

This is especially true for Reiju, who is the only woman among them.

It's worth noting that in the popularity ranking of comic characters in the Beihai World Economic Daily, Poison Fan has been a perennial favorite!
but.

At this moment, Reiju was no longer in the mood to pay attention to her fans; she looked up at Sanji in the distance.

For the first time, I felt that Sanji was no different from those three bastards; they were all pure perverts, and Sanji was even more insane in this regard than the other three.

No.

Have you ever seen anyone who gets a combat suit that enhances their power, and instead of figuring out how to use it, head straight for the women's bathhouse?!

Even perversion has its limits, you bastard!

I acted impulsively; I shouldn't have handed the stealth combat suit directly to this brat.

Reiju is now filled with regret, deep regret, but what's done is done, and all she can do is try to make amends.

Click! Click!
Reiju counted on her fingers and walked step by step toward Sanji in the ruins.

Without saying a word, she grabbed Sanji by the foot, dragged him to a secluded corner, and gave him a good beating!
boom!
boom!
boom!
Reiju landed punch after punch on Sanji, the violent force slamming him into the ground, cracks spreading outwards, and even visible cracks appeared on the nearby wall.

"Where is your awareness? Where is your insistence? Where is your respect for women?!"

"Answer me, you bastard!"

"look into my eyes!"

Faced with Reiju's questioning, Sanji, whose face had already turned into a pig's head, stammered and couldn't utter a single sentence for a long time. In the end, he could only manage to squeeze out a sentence:
"Private Marseille!" (Sorry!)

"Red bean paste smimi masai!" (I'm so sorry!)
Reiju stood up with a dark face, looking down at him, about to continue her lecture, when her peripheral vision caught sight of Law standing there blankly, clutching a long sword, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.

She took a deep breath, raised her hand to smooth her hair behind her ear, and flashed her signature business smile:
"If you need an autograph, you might have to wait a little while."

Luo shuddered, his words becoming somewhat slurred, but he had already recognized him.

The poisonous powder belongs to Reiju, Gawain's captive, while the invisible black figure who was beaten to a pulp is Sanji. The two are siblings, and although Sanji is reluctant to mention it, everyone knows he hails from the North Blue. So, does this "North Blue" refer to Germa 66 of the North Blue?!
that……

"Does the Sea Warrior Sora actually exist?!"

Reiju nodded subconsciously, then shook her head:
"Sora, the warrior of the sea, doesn't exist. You need to distinguish between comics and reality!"

"..."

Luo's lips twitched.

If you changed your clothes and said this to me, it would be somewhat believable, but you're wearing a Germa poison powder battle suit and telling me that Sora, the sea warrior who has thwarted Germa's plots time and time again, doesn't exist?!
I've read a lot of books, you can't fool me!

Luo had already made up his mind at this moment.

Sanji's family is Germa 66, which once attempted to unify the North Blue but was repeatedly thwarted by the sea warrior Sora.

This explains why Sanji appeared in the East Blue but never mentioned his past.

After all, this part happened in the story of Sora, the Warrior of the Sea. After being defeated by Sora, Stealth Black was abandoned by Judge because he lost his power.

Although he eventually regained his power and fighting spirit, he became a character who walked the line between justice and evil, acting according to his own will!
Right! Everything is right!
Luo gasped, the more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that his guess was correct.

but.

Now that Sanji is a comrade, since Sanji is unwilling to bring it up, Law will not expose Sanji's past wounds.

Seeing Sanji nearly deformed from the beating, Law felt a pang of pity and gently advised him:

"If the fighting continues, people will die."

Reiju glanced back at Sanji's miserable state, gave him another verbal warning, and then finally let it go.

She gave Sanji a disapproving look before joining Law in taking him back to the hospital in the port center.

……

Half an hour later.

Squeak~!

The ward door was pushed open.

Having just woken up, Zoro, who was frantically eating, looked up and saw Law and Reiju, as well as a curly-browed guy whose face had been beaten into a pig's head.

"puff--!"

Zoro burst out laughing:

"Hahahahahaha——!"

"Damn green algae head!"

When Sanji met his enemy, especially in such a predicament, he immediately turned red-hot.
"I've gained even greater power. Next time we fight, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"

"Yeah?!"

Zoro showed no sign of backing down, gripping the long sword beside his pillow with one hand, his fierce aura even more imposing than before!

Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.

Seeing this, Luo couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead:

"These two clowns shouldn't have been put together."

He turned and found a nurse from the hospital to separate the two people, and the noise in the ward finally stopped.

Reiju looked at Sanji, whose head was wrapped up like a pig's head, and felt both amused and sorry for him, but she still personally applied medicine to Sanji.

The two continued to glare at each other through the hospital room window, looking ready to fight at the slightest provocation. The temperature in the air seemed to drop a few degrees because of their confrontation.

Luo's gaze sharpened.

As expected, the captain's hunch was correct.

After experiencing the challenge of facing a high mountain, Zoro's spirit became more solid, and his strength clearly improved by a level!
Even Sanji, after retrieving Germa's Raid Suit, gradually regained his former power and became stronger.

I need to hurry.

We absolutely cannot let these two leave us behind!

……

The other end.

Gao Wen was sitting in his room, gently wiping the blade of Kanze Masamune's sword.

Although the blade had turned pitch black, it still faintly gleamed, and the bloodthirsty intent emanating from it was even more deeply hidden.

As the white cloth was slowly wiped clean from the blade, Gao Wen's heart gradually calmed down. This feeling of having everything under control was something he had never experienced before.

He looked up, his gaze falling through the window onto the new ship that was about to be completed in the harbor.

The ship's shape bears a resemblance to the former Raven and also has some resemblance to the Sunny.

Even the emblem on the bow of the ship was replaced by a sunflower lion head that resembled the Sunny.

His title of Lionheart Knight, earned after he and Gawain seized the head of the Golden Lion, is strangely fitting.

Frankie even directly used the name Gawain had briefly mentioned in the World Economic Herald to name the ship...

Lionheart Knight!
Gao Wen naturally had no objection to this.

After all, leaving one's mark on the ship one has built with one's own hands is a shipwright's privilege.
There are still some minor issues with the ship that need to be addressed, and it will take several more days before it can actually set sail.

But there is no doubt that this new ship, in terms of both hull sturdiness and overall performance, far surpasses the former Raven and is capable of coping with the extreme climates of the New World.

Franky, even more mysteriously, added a lot of personal information, saying that he would bring everyone a huge surprise in the future.

Gao Wen could only shake his head helplessly at this.

Franky has a mischievous side, but he is absolutely clear-headed when it comes to important matters, and he would never do anything that would harm the collective interest because of his own willfulness.

Therefore, Gawain let him do as he pleased.

but.

With the new ship nearing completion, Gawain is about to embark on another journey.

And this time.

Gawain set his sights directly on Britannias.

As his forces grew stronger and his numbers increased, Gawain needed a stable sphere of influence, and Britannias was the best choice.

The area is densely vegetated, and the earth's energy is arguably the highest in the world, enough to unleash the full potential of the Crimson Dragon.

He wasn't too fixated on the so-called One Piece, so Britannias might be the end of this journey, or at least the final destination for Gawain and his crew.

Think of this.

The subsequent flight plan gradually became clearer. Gawain subconsciously stretched, but at that moment, a familiar system notification sounded in his mind:
"Crew member Zoro's swordsmanship will has been tempered, and his swordsmanship talent has advanced!"

"Potential increased."

"Golden Midpoint → Golden Extreme Point!"

……

"The bloodline factor of crew member Sanji has been activated, and the transformation of his body will be gradually completed!"

"Potential increased."

"Golden Midpoint → Golden Extreme Point!"
