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

Chapter 324 The Fruit of Words
Such hypnotic abilities are simply beyond imagination.

but.

After thinking about it carefully, Gao Wen realized that the effect of the Heart Fruit must have been indispensable.

On the high seas, there is never a shortage of fruits with strong control capabilities.

Sugar's Playful Fruit and Poison Q's Disease Fruit both possess the ability to alter the physical characteristics of their opponent.

However, both of these can be restrained by a powerful domineering aura.

It's far from being able to directly control someone like Gin, who is at the level of the Three Disasters and Seven Warlords of the Sea, like the Mind-Heart Fruit.

The only explanation.

Those who have been hypnotized by the Mind-Heart Fruit have become completely puppets of the caster, with no will to resist.

This is similar to the petrification ability of the Love-Love Fruit.

just.

Even though he roughly understood the principles behind his opponent's abilities, Gawain still harbored an inexplicable fear of those who possessed the Mind-Mind Fruit.

He possesses all three types of Haki, and his mastery of each is quite high. Furthermore, with the added benefit of a powerful body, he is naturally not afraid of the effects of Devil Fruits.

But everyone else on the ship could potentially get infected.

Think of this.

Gao Wen frowned deeply.

But he couldn't bring himself to abandon Akin, or rather, he had never considered it, and neither did the people on the ship ever think of abandoning their companions.

Gao Wen subconsciously turned his head to the side.

At this moment, the commotion caused by Gao Wen's furious slash had already vanished without a trace.

The turbulent sea has returned to normal.

Everything was the same as before, except for the dilapidated port in the distance, which had been almost completely leveled, and the presence of the Knights of God had disappeared.

The only things still standing in the harbor were the Lionheart Knight at Gawain's feet and the expressionless crowd on the deck.

A heavy atmosphere hung in the air, a testament to the pent-up anger in everyone's hearts.

The upward surge was so intense that it almost set their very souls ablaze.

"How long has it been since anyone dared to directly attack us?!"

Kro lowered his eyes, but his gaze was unusually calm.

But Gao Wen knew that this was by no means calmness, and he couldn't possibly be calm at a time like this!
On this ship, the relationship between Chloe and Akin is the closest, the best, and the truest of friends.

Kro possesses the most bloodthirsty and brutal nature among Gawain's gang.

However, his usual opponents rarely aroused his interest, and when facing his companions on the ship, especially Nami and others, he would subconsciously suppress his murderous aura.

As a result, to most of the members who joined after the Grand Line, Kro was no different from the others except that he was a little gloomy in his temperament.

But only those who joined from the East China Sea knew just how much rage this man was suppressing at that moment!

"Gawain!"

Kro turned his head and met Gawain's gaze. His eyes were bloodshot, so much so that his own eyes had turned crimson.
"If something happens to Akin, this time..."

"You can't stop me!"

Gao Wen's Adam's apple bobbed, and he squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth:

"I'll go with you this time!"

"What about you?!"

"Next, we will face the unknown Britannias, where many secrets are hidden. The will residing within the Crimson Dragon Fruit is secretly guiding me there!"

"Among the opponents, there are even some who can control Akin's will in an instant."

"They are the most elite troops of the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise. They represent the will of the Celestial Dragons. Do you know what that means?"

"Even if we defeat them, even if their actions are carried out privately without the knowledge of their superiors, it doesn't prevent us all from becoming wanted by the World Government after this incident."

"If anyone is afraid, or worried about their comrades back home, they can retreat at this time and return to Alabasta, or to Raven Harbor in the East Sea!"

The deck was silent. Gawain turned around and saw pairs of unwavering eyes!
clatter--!
Luo draped the ghostly wailing over his shoulder and raised his hand to adjust his small round hat:
"The captain's will is my will!"

"Besides, Captain Akin takes good care of everyone on this ship!"

"When I first joined the group, I received a lot of help from him, so how could I abandon that man at a time like this!"

"That's right!"

Bepo stood at the back of the crowd, his small eyes filled with determination:

"Those who abandon their companions can never become pioneers!"

Snapped--!
He clenched his fists, his powerful grip seemingly tearing the air apart:
"These fists underwent rigorous training alongside Chopper-senpai for this very moment!"

"As for being hypnotized by the opponent..."

Bepo raised his head, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth:
"Then you'll have to step over my body!"

"Humph~"

Cavendish stood to the side, his gaze towards Bepo filled with an indescribable admiration:
"I retract my previous assessment."

"Within your will shines a radiant light, a pure and magnificent light!"

"Dazzlingly gorgeous!"

Even compared to me, they're only a hair's breadth behind!

Having said that, Cavendish turned to look at Gawain, his eyes filled with a hint of eagerness:

"Entering the new world, you're already targeting the World Government?!"

"This is the most magnificent stage!"

"Count me in!"

All around.

There was an uproar.

Everyone spoke up, but no one backed down.

Zoro, Sanji, Van Augur, and others were already standing beside Gawain, without saying a word.

They already had a tacit understanding, and their attitude needed no further explanation.

"Well!"

A slight smile appeared on Gawain's lips:
"Next stop: Britannias!"

"Anyone who stands in our way of finding our companions will be crushed!"

in the corner.

Morgan looked at the people on the ship and was speechless for a moment.

He didn't know much about the Knights of God, but he knew what Mary Geoise and the Celestial Dragons meant.

That was the pinnacle of this world, representing the will of the Eji government. Those who lived there had, in a sense, transcended the realm of humanity and were given the title of gods.

For eight hundred years, countless heroes have challenged the World Government, only to return to dust in the end. Only Mary Geoise on the Red Line remains immortal.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Four Emperors, legends, and even the former Pirate King all appear incredibly insignificant in the face of the World Government.

But in the eyes of this group, the world government is far less important than their own comrades!

If she originally only had a slight expectation of reclaiming Britannias with the help of Gawain's power...

At that moment, she was convinced that only the man standing at the bow of the ship and his companions behind him could help her!
Morgan raised his hand, glanced at the words in his palm, and his gaze hardened at that moment:

"Regarding Joan of Arc's hypnotic abilities, I might be able to help you."

Gawain paused for a moment, then turned to look at Morgan, waiting for what he would say next. The others around him did the same.

Morgan opened his arms.

A strangely shaped character appeared in her palm.

"This is my ability."

"I am a writer who has eaten the fruit of words; the words I write can become reality."

"For example, if I write the word 'strength' on you, your strength will be enhanced; it's a kind of blessing."

"Similarly, as long as I write resistance to hypnosis on you, I will be able to resist the hypnotic effects of the Mind Fruit."

Morgan sighed and continued:
"The greater the power, the greater the risk." "The ink used to write words with the Word Fruit is my lifespan, and the more powerful and extreme the words written, the more lifespan is consumed."

Morgan raised her hand and gently stroked her silver hair.

It was only at this moment that everyone noticed that Morgan's hair was white, not silver.

Her pale, withered silver hair was completely at odds with her stunningly beautiful face!

The lifespan of fairies is longer than that of giants, approaching five hundred years.

Gao Wen remembers.

Morgan had previously mentioned his age.

Thirty-three years old.

Although her face still looks young, how much of her lifespan has been consumed by the power of the Word-Word Fruit?

That's probably an astronomical figure.

to be frank.

According to Morgan's description, the Word Fruit is an extremely powerful ability.

While it may not provide much assistance in direct combat, it can maximize its ability to support teammates!
However, even long-lived species like fairies cannot bear the cost, let alone ordinary humans.

This is almost an ability exclusive to immortal beings!
After everyone's initial surprise, they understood why Morgan hadn't offered help earlier.

That head of silver hair was perhaps proof that she didn't have much time left to live.

Although this time, for some unknown reason, even at the cost of his remaining lifespan, he still wanted to help himself.

But this ability is exactly what I need.

No one dwelled on this.

After all, this was Morgan's choice, a decision she made with everything on her mind. Being overly hesitant and indecisive would only be an insult to that pure will!

Kro stepped forward and extended his hand to Morgan.

Morgan didn't hesitate; her fingertips transformed into the shape of a pen, and she wrote a strange symbol in Chloe's palm.

"These are runes, representing unwavering will. They can help you withstand a mental attack and also resist Joan of Arc's hypnosis."

"Thank you."

Kro nodded. Looking down at the words in his hand, he reached out and gently wiped them, only to find that the words seemed to be engraved into his flesh and blood, completely impossible to erase.

He didn't actually feel any of the so-called blessings.

Perhaps it will only come in handy when facing a corresponding attack.

just.

After writing the runes in Kro's hand, Morgan's aura weakened considerably, and he seemed somewhat listless.

But he persisted, carving runes to protect everyone on the deck from mental attacks.

One person after another.

As everyone looked at the increasingly weak and fading fairy woman, they felt a sense of respect for her.

soon.

Morgan walked up to Gawain.

Her will was almost broken, but she still walked to Gawain's side and, relying on muscle memory, mechanically wrote stroke after stroke with her hand, but she could not leave the corresponding rune characters.

"Don't try it."

"Devil Fruit powers have no effect on me."

You need to rest now.

"To live."

"Only by living can you have the chance to see your country restored."

Morgan's body froze, swayed slightly, and then collapsed, falling into Gawain's arms.

Gao Wen lowered his eyes to look.

The woman, who originally looked to be only in her early twenties, now had a weathered look on her face, and even the skin on her arms was no longer as radiant as it used to be.

He had specifically researched the fairy race.

Fairies have a lifespan of nearly five hundred years. They spend most of their lives in their prime, and only show signs of old age when their lives are about to end.

soon.

Chopper then carried Morgan into the ship's medical room.

After a series of precise production reductions, Chopper put down the instruments in his hands and let out a long sigh of relief:

"There is no immediate danger to life."

"She's just overexerted; she'll recover after a period of rest."

"She looks like she's only in her twenties, but if you convert her body to human age, she's already old."

Gawain nodded.

Although I had expected this, I was still touched by it.

He didn't know how much time Morgan had left, but he knew that Morgan had staked his remaining lifespan on him, so he absolutely couldn't lose!

Whether it's for Arkin or Morgan!

at the same time.

The Lionheart Knight raised its sails and sped toward the Britannias defenses.

It startled countless beasts into flight!

……

Dozens of nautical miles away.

The members of the Divine Group hid here, concealing all their presence until the Solid Knight disappeared from sight, only then did they relax.

Shamrock sat on a pile of rubble, his face pale, blood still seeping from the wound on his chest, and a look of lingering fear on his face.

The power of that strike just now far exceeded his expectations.

He might have died if two members of the Order of the Gods hadn't taken the brunt of the attacks for him.

"Knight Gawain's combat strength far exceeds expectations!"

"His combat strength is not comparable to Double-Face, but is a true Yonko level, and is not weak even among the Yonko. He is far stronger than Big Mom, and may even be no weaker than Kaido and Whitebeard."

"And the real problem is..."

Shamrock turned his head.

On the beach, two members of the Order of the Gods, cut in half, were wailing in pain. Black smoke was billowing from their wounds, but they could not heal.

He had never witnessed such a situation before, but he had heard about it from his father more than once.

This is because Conqueror's Haki was blasted into his body, and Im's blessing was restricted, which is why this happened!

"Knight Gawain has already figured out a way to limit the power of blessing!"

"In other words."

"Given enough time, that guy is capable of killing members of the Knights of God!"

"The only thing to be thankful for is that the demon Akin is no longer in his hands."

"But that woman from Britannias is no pushover either!"

"Golden the Demon is strong enough to be a captain even in the Knights of God, but he was controlled by her in an instant."

"Is this...the power of the heart?!"

"Blood, flesh, bone, heart, and soul—five superhuman abilities, each one extremely powerful!"

"Then, based on these five abilities, an immortal body..."

"How strong will it be?!"

the first time.

Shamrock began to waver about the purpose of his actions.

Perhaps if I obtain this power, I can also...
