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

Chapter 314 Let me see your limit!

a few minutes ago.

Dragon Palace.

Hody breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the giant sea kings around Fishman Island had all quieted down.

But the Conqueror's Haki that had swept across the entire Fishman Island just now sent a chill down his spine.

"It can't be wrong!"

"It's Conqueror's Hide! A Conqueror's Hide of extremely high purity!"

"An existence capable of covering the entire Fishman Island and even suppressing out-of-control Sea Kings in an instant..."

Has Whitebeard returned to Fishman Island?

The first person that came to Hody's mind was Whitebeard, who had appeared on Fishman Island and protected it.

At that time, he was Neptune's bodyguard and had caught a glimpse of Whitebeard from afar.

His towering stature, the composed and domineering gait, and the confidence etched into his very being were all unforgettable for Hody.

At that time, Fishman Island was not without those who dared to challenge Whitebeard's might, yet they were all defeated by that man's casual slash.

Even today, his unparalleled domineering aura still instills an instinctive fear in Hody.

That Conqueror's Haki from just now was comparable to Whitebeard's back then!

"wrong!"

After a moment's thought, Hody dismissed his own guess:

"Whitebeard is based in the New World. Even if Jinbe notified him, it would be impossible for him to appear on Fishman Island so quickly. That is..."

"Knight Gawain!?"

"Even when facing Jinbe, he still had the strength to appease the Sea Kings near Fishman Island. Is this guy really as rumored, possessing power comparable to the Four Emperors?"

"whispering sound!"

Think of this.

A hint of apprehension flickered in Hody's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure after a few breaths.

Now that Shirahoshi has acquired the ability to control Sea Kings, the existence of Fishman Island is no longer as important as previously anticipated.

After all, even if this place is destroyed by the rampaging sea kings, the vast majority of fish-men will still be able to survive.

But the humans on Fishman Island have absolutely no reason to survive, and those with special abilities are even more doomed to die!
"In the face of life and death, Knight Gawain will make a rational choice."

Say it.

Hody closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, they regained their usual ferocious yet arrogant appearance.

He was about to take the final step and seize the last trump card, Shirahoshi, but just as he was about to succeed...

Whoosh-!
A pure white shell, seemingly formed from some kind of interwoven and overlapping skeletal structure, hurtled towards them.

Hody broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. He managed to turn his head to the side, but he was a step too slow.

The bone bullet grazed his shoulder, tearing off a large piece of flesh before piercing through the walls of the Dragon Palace and flying to the horizon, even piercing through the membrane of the Dragon Palace Kingdom!
Fortunately, the bone bullet is not large in diameter, and the coating has a certain degree of self-repair function. This level of wound will not have a great impact and will heal on its own in a short time.

In contrast, the injury on Hody's shoulder is not something that can heal in a short time.

Although it wouldn't have a significant impact on his combat ability, the two palpable killing intents behind him sent chills down his spine.

"who is it?!"

Hody suddenly turned around.

Then they saw two figures, one tall and one thin, standing on the porthole, exuding a murderous aura as if they had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!
Hody has killed many people, but the murderous aura he has accumulated is nothing compared to these two!

These two... both possess strength comparable to Jinbe!
"One of Knight Gawain's men?!"

Hody realized what was happening.

Hachi, who had been struggling nearby, suddenly fell silent when he saw Kro and Kin.

Memories of the time in the East China Sea were awakened.

Countless merfolk died at the hands of these two, and many of their deaths were particularly gruesome.

Although Xiao Ba was also well aware that the sins those fishmen carried were enough to make them die countless times.

But the instinctive fear in his heart still made his body tremble uncontrollably.

far away.

Above the porthole.

Kro naturally noticed Hachi, who was tied up to one side, but didn't pay much attention to him, instead focusing his attention on Hody.

"This is today's main course? The surprise the captain mentioned? To be honest, it's a bit of a letdown!"

"what."

Ah Jin, who was half-squatting on the porthole, responded.

With the development of his Bone-Bone Fruit skills, Arkin's height has now reached nearly three meters, approaching that of Van Augur.

However, he was much stronger than the skinny Van Auger.

To stand firmly on the window of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, one must curl up halfway to barely manage it.

"Is that all? He's not even in the same league as that Jinbe guy. Maybe he's not even a warm-up?"

"How should we divide it?!"

Kro raised his hand to push up his glasses, then turned his attention to Shirahoshi in the cage, his eyes gleaming.

Kuro naturally noticed the scene of countless giant sea kings attacking Fishman Island.

He had also noticed the crying earlier, and combining the two, it was not difficult to guess the truth.

"In this era where over 90% of the world is ocean, the power that dominates the supergiant sea kings is far greater than I predicted!"

"With such power in hand, coupled with our own strength, the Emperor of the Sea..."

"No!"

"Even becoming the Pirate King might not be Gawain's final destination!"

Kro waved at Akin:

"I'll leave these small fry to you. I'm going to check on that woman Gawain mentioned!"

The sound fell to the ground.

Kro appeared outside the cage imprisoning Shirahoshi. He raised his hand and gently waved it, and a sharp gust of air cut through the shackles of the cage.

"That belongs to the fish-men; only I am qualified to control it!"

"you dare!"

Hody, who noticed this from a distance, was extremely anxious.

Although he is not strong, he has an exceptional sense of danger as a fishman. The sense of danger he feels from Arkin and Kuro is almost as strong as that from Jinbe.

The Conqueror's Haki he just displayed has proven that Knight Gawain possesses formidable combat power comparable to the Four Emperors!
Even though the effects of the E-S drug and the hallucinations brought about by his sudden increase in strength gave him a near-blind confidence, he never believed that he could fight against the three of them working together on his own.

To stabilize the situation on Fishman Island and negotiate with Gawain's group later, or even to completely control Fishman Island, Shirahoshi is an indispensable trump card!
If I lose this card, everything I've done will be meaningless!
Realizing this, Hody didn't care about getting up and swallowed the two dangerous pills.

Click——!
When you bite into a capsule with your sharp teeth, what comes out is not the powder that is usually inside the capsule, but a liquid. The liquid is absorbed by the epidermis the moment it comes into contact with the mouth.

"Hiss—!" Hody's body suddenly tensed up, and his already bloodshot eyes turned completely red.

His body instantly swelled up, his originally bluish-green skin turned grayish-white, his veins bulged all over his body, and his face became ferocious!

Double the dosage resulted in a nearly fourfold increase in physical abilities!

"Such speed and such power are proof that fishmen are born to be kings!"

"With these two deadly drugs, I have gained power surpassing even Jinbe's!"

That familiar feeling, as if it could destroy everything, surged up again.

At this moment, Hody even felt that he could do anything.

Hody understood, of course, that this was just an illusion. Compared to opponents like Gawain or even Whitebeard, this level of improvement was probably not even a fraction of what these monsters were capable of!

But killing those two is enough!
"court death!"

After a loud shout, Hody appeared in front of Kro as if by teleportation, his hand covered in Armament Haki grabbing at Kro like an iron clamp!

"Same!"

This move is simply a grasp, which incorporates many of the power-generating techniques of fishman karate, but it relies more on the fishman's grip strength, which is dozens of times greater than that of a human.

It's important to know that Hody's physique is among the top tier even among fishmen. With the added effect of the drug, in terms of grip strength alone, he might be the most powerful fishman in history!
He could easily crush a building with his physical strength alone, but now he felt he could even crush the palace beneath his feet!
In a trance.

He even saw the image of the person in front of him having his head crushed by his own hand!
Blame it on yourself for being born a human being, for having such a frail body, and for standing in my way!

Inferior races should be considered inferior races...

brush!
The moment his hand passed through Chloe's body, Hody only saw a hint of impatience mixed with indifference on Chloe's face, and heard Chloe's voice in his ear:
"Ah Jin, you shouldn't have made this mistake!"

Natural science?!

A thought flashed through Hody's mind, but his gaze fell on the long tail swaying behind Kro and the extremely sharp blade at the end of the tail!
wrong!

It's a Zoan-type Mythical Zoan, just like Gawain!
Hody's eyes widened in anger, his crisis instincts amplified by the E-S drug, but he sensed the malice rushing towards him from behind!
"Feel sorry."

Feel sorry?

Why would an enemy say such a thing?!

No, it wasn't meant for me!

Hody's pupils contracted, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a pure white figure rushing towards him.

Clad in bone armor, Akin launched an attack on Hody using the most primitive, yet most effective, method of attack!
Bump!

A simple impact without any fancy moves!
With his physique far superior to his opponent's, he crushed the opponent in front of him in an extremely brutal way!

boom--!
There was a muffled sound.

Hody felt as if he had been hit by a supergiant aquaman, and his muscles and bones groaned in pain.

He was like a cannonball, instantly piercing through several palaces in the Dragon Palace Kingdom, and even smashing a coral reef as hard as steel!
boom!
The scattered coral reefs completely concealed Hody's body.

Akin stood rooted to the spot, the white bones covering his face receding like liquid, revealing half of his cold, hard face:
"Surpassing Jinbe?!"

"Don't joke around. If that's all you're capable of, you'd probably be crushed by that guy in an instant."

"Even if I exert all my strength and take the secret medicine that damages my body, I will only reach the Silver level in the end?!"

"whispering sound……"

"boring."

Akin lost interest and was about to turn around to deal with Hody's men when he paused slightly.

It was because a violent aura suddenly surged from the ruins in the distance!

boom--!
Hody stood up again, his eyes filled with madness that reached its peak.

He looked down at the entire bottle of E-S drug in his hand.

"If one isn't enough, then two; if two aren't enough, then four, eight, sixteen..."

"A deadly drug!"

"Show me your limits!"

Bo——!
The medicine bottle was opened, the cap fell to the ground, bounced a few times, and landed to the side.

Hody tilted his head back and swallowed the entire bottle of poison!

aside.

The members of the New Fishman Pirates were already terrified by Hody's madness.

"Hody! You're going to die!"

"Such a large dose would cause even a sea king to explode and die instantly. This exceeds the limit that normal organisms can tolerate!"

"If we retreat, we'll have another chance to try!"

"At most, it's just a matter of moving to a different place and starting over!"

To them, they were pirates, and one or two defeats were nothing. At most, they would move to another place to rebuild their strength, and there would always be a chance to launch a counterattack back to Fishman Island.

But Hody knew that if they lost this time, they would have nothing left!

Kro's unusual attention to Shirahoshi proves that Gawain and his gang are after Shirahoshi.

If they lose this battle, Shirahoshi will fall into the hands of Gawain and his gang.

Faced with a powerful pirate crew that controls the Sea King and whose captain possesses the fighting strength of a Yonko, not to mention Hody himself, even the World Government would have to think twice before taking action against them.

"what--!"

A scream erupted from Hody's mouth.

He could even hear the sounds of his internal organs, bones, and muscles twisting and deforming under the effects of the drug, and the sounds of his blood vessels bursting and collapsing because they couldn't withstand the drug's power...

puff!
puff!
……

One by one, the veins winding along the surface of his body burst open, blood gushing out, flesh tearing open, while Hody's body rapidly expanded during this process.

In just a few breaths, his height had exceeded six meters, his body muscles were bulging, like countless neatly arranged dense tumors, constantly twisting and trembling.

His heart was pounding like a drum at its limit. The excessive E-S drug was squeezing every last drop out of his body, but it also suppressed the pain transmitted through the nerves and greatly increased his body's excitability!
hiss--!
After a heavy breathing sound, Hody opened his eyes. His eyes were almost completely bloodshot, with no pupils to be found, only a black dot.

"Ah~"

Hody looked up at the sky, his lips slightly parted, feeling the unimaginable, elevated physical body, and murmured:
Looks like I'm the winner!

Snapped--!
He clenched his fist, creating a sonic boom in his palm, which also emitted a burst of energy that blew away all the surrounding coral reefs.

"Now... are you ready to face death?"

Ajin twisted his neck, and his face was once again covered by bone armor. A layer of jet-black armor color covered his entire body, making him look even more majestic and domineering.

But in the next instant, he was hit by Hody's fist!

when--!
Like the sudden sound of a heavy object striking steel, the sound wave overturned the surrounding crowd.

Ajin's legs were stuck in the floor, but he still slid backward for nearly a hundred meters, crashing through several walls before finally coming to a stop.

He lowered his head.

On the reinforced bone armor on his chest, a huge fist mark was clearly visible, with fine cracks around it!
