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

Chapter 330 One Against Two!

It was only because when Saint Qilingom looked at the member of the divine order, the other party also happened to turn around and look at him.

What Qilingom Saint saw was a pair of familiar eyes.

"This is……"

……

at the same time.

Holy Land.

Mariejoia.

The magnificent palace at the center is a testament to the covenant of the monarchs of the twenty nations that formed a world government eight hundred years ago.

That covenant was the foundation upon which the World Government was able to continue, and it also established a set of rules that were recognized by everyone.

No one should be above the Celestial Dragons or the gods.

Therefore, for example, there should be no one on the throne surrounded by countless swords.

But at this very moment, a colossal figure was sitting on an empty throne.

Looking down from a high vantage point, overlooking all living beings.

The Five Elders, who are seen as ruling the world, are kneeling below, appearing both awe and devotion, as if they wish they could kiss the toes of that person.

"Hmm~ It's been a long time since I've encountered something this interesting."

"Eight hundred years is a long time, yet it has become so long that people have forgotten reverence and want to covet what does not belong to them. Don't you think so..."

"Garin!"

Accompanying the sound was a heavy, oppressive feeling, as deep as the ocean.

The raging aura pressed down on the shoulders of the Five Elders, and even though their flesh was torn apart and they were covered in wounds, none of them dared to disobey, even though they knew that Im was not targeting them.

This is because it is a gift from God.

The one standing atop the empty throne is none other than the king of this world!

His name is Im.

Eight hundred years ago, even the man known as the Sun God was defeated by Im, and his will, along with the fruit, sank into the sea.

a long time.

The commotion in the palace gradually subsided.

The weight on the Five Elders' shoulders eased, but they dared not straighten their backs until they heard the order from the person above them, at which point they slowly stood up.

Only Garin remained kneeling on the ground, his eyes lowered, his expression and posture no different from the Five Elders.

The wounds from his battle with Shanks have healed, and his frail, almost lifeless body has been revitalized.

He even sensed that the body's original abilities had returned, but something else had left him.

Garin knew that if he were to fight his former self, even in his severely injured state, his reborn self would have no chance of winning.

a long time.

Garin bowed his head respectfully and said:

"of course."

"Lord Im."

This scene caused the Five Elders standing nearby to shrink their pupils.

Garin's private actions could be kept secret from them, but not from Im.

Or.

From the very beginning, Shamrock's so-called secret operation, his so-called operation behind Mary Geoise's back, was meaningless.

This was because none of them were aware of a crucial piece of intelligence.

Among the members of the Knights of God blessed by Im, only a handful are fortunate enough to bear Im's will, and such individuals are among the Knights of God's squad led by Shamlock.

In other words, Garin's actions from the very beginning were all carried out under Im's watchful eye, with no secrets whatsoever.

What truly deepened the five people's awe of Im was Garin, who appeared at this very moment.

Those who seek freedom and power shall be subjected to eternal enslavement.

There is no crueler punishment than this!

In particular, he wanted him to watch his son, like a moth drawn to a flame, carry out that already shattered plan.

Galin Sei's heart was bleeding, but he dared not show it in the slightest, and his heart continued to pray.

He prayed that Shamrock would realize something was wrong soon, that Im had seen everything he was doing, and that he would retreat soon, so that he might still have a chance to survive.

"What are you expecting?!"

A sinister smile crept across Im's face, hidden in the shadows.
"open one's eyes!"

"Look at what happens to those who defy you!"

Im waved.

Images of the battlefield in Britannias are projected into the air.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

All that could be seen was endless dust and smoke, and swirling air currents that lingered in the air for a long time.

With wings on his back and his body covered in crimson dragon scales, Gawain stood proudly in the sky, holding a sword in one hand!
His gaze was indifferent.

Like a king looking down on everything!

On the other hand, Gao Wen was accompanied by two figures standing side by side.

One of them was fat and bloated, holding a large sword in both hands and standing on thunderclouds, looking somewhat like a domineering ruler!
One of them had a fierce aura, a full head of red hair, and a fierce look between his brows!
"Shamrock and... 'Yonko' Big Mom Charlotte Linlin?!"

Satan frowned slightly:
"With these two working together, I'm afraid no one on this sea can subdue them."

Nasujiro nodded:

"The combat power of these two is extremely terrifying; they are among the closest to the pinnacle of existence."

"When strong individuals of the same level clash, there may be winners and losers, but to fight two opponents at once, perhaps only Whitebeard and Roger could do it."

"But it was still extremely difficult."

Maz Saint nodded.

On the throne.

Im listened to the discussion and suddenly became somewhat interested.

Eight hundred years have passed since he ascended the throne, a long enough time for him to try out most of the novel things in the world.

There are very few things that can interest him now.

The Battle of Britannias, however, was an absolute exception.

He looked at Garin with great interest:

"Na~"

"Minister Jialin, what's your opinion on this matter?!"

Garin paused, slowly raised his head, and looked at the projected image in mid-air. A barely perceptible relaxation appeared on his tightly furrowed brows.

“Nasujiro Sei is right.”

"Although Gawain is strong, he has already proven that he has the fighting power of a Yonko by beheading Shiki in Paradise and winning the title of the world's greatest swordsman in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"But Big Mom is one of the Four Emperors, and Shamrock even defeated Big Mom in a head-on battle."

"This battle..."

"Yeah?!"

Im chuckled softly, interrupting Garin, and said meaningfully:

“You’ve all overlooked the abilities of Knight Gawain.”

"The so-called legend of immortality in Britannias is a bit lacking, but the few Devil Fruits that exist there are barely worth a look."

"Although the White Dragon technique was lost since Fafnir's time, the Crimson Dragon technique was still being passed down. Is it now in the hands of Knight Gawain?!"

"The abundant ley line energy of Britannias, combined with the red dragon's abilities, could create a rather troublesome monster."

The sound fell to the ground.

A silence fell over the room. Garin couldn't help but look up at the two opposing sides on the projected screen, his worry barely concealed.

But he still had confidence in Shamrock's abilities.

Even if one is outmatched, it is not difficult to seek a safe retreat.

As everyone was wondering, the image on the projection suddenly changed, and even Im couldn't help but show a hint of surprise:
"Oh~"

"interesting!"

"As expected, it's going to be even stronger~"

"Now things are starting to look forward to a little more~"

At this moment, Garin Sei's eyes also brightened slightly.

It's the kind that carries hope.

……

Before counting breaths.

As the aftershocks of Gao Wen's strike dissipated, the sky cleared, cloudless, and golden light shone brightly, making the world seem as if it were plated with a layer of shimmering gold.

"Knight...Gawain?!"

The woman held the knife in one hand, her eyes filled with even more hatred as she looked at Gao Wen.

But he knew even better that he was no match for Gawain on his own, after all, even the Golden Lion, who had once been a strong opponent for him, had been defeated by Gawain.

Although there was a reason why Shiki wanted to die, the fact that Gawain was willing to leave his life and even die without regrets shows that Shiki recognized Gawain's fighting strength.

But the hatred that led to the deaths of countless children at the hands of Gawain, the near annihilation of the Grand Fleet, and the near-desperation of himself, remains unforgettable to this day!

"Hey!"

"The Figarand brat!"

The woman had already made up her mind. She stared intently at Gao Wen, her voice low and hoarse:
"Then let's join forces!"

"Leave Knight Gawain's life here!"

"it is good!"

Shamlock gritted his teeth and agreed.

Eyes red.

His domineering aura was pushed to its limit!
The long sword in his hand transformed into a three-headed hellhound, heading straight for Gawain!

Claws gleamed, imbued with a dark, domineering will!

"Cerberus - Claws!"

"You have no chance of winning against two opponents!"

With a roar, the old woman unleashed the pent-up energy of Napoleon, who was wielding a long sword, transforming it into pure destructive power as he attacked the crimson figure high in the sky!

With a formidable opponent before them, neither of them held back.

The combined attack created an even stronger momentum than Gao Wen had just used!
The red and white attack swallowed up the sun's brilliance, leaving only the howling wind in the restless air!
Even though the Lionheart Knight was several kilometers away, it was still affected, and even with Franky at the helm, it was still at risk of capsizing.

"What kind of monsters are these!"

on the deck.

Frankie took the helm, yet the situation remained fraught with danger.

His gaze fell upon the figures clashing high in the sky, and his eyes showed a hint of worry for Gao Wen.

"Can the captain handle this?!"

"Our opponents are the Four Emperors and the leader of the Knights of God!"

"Such a lineup..."

Franky had personally witnessed the combat prowess of these two, and they were undoubtedly among the top powerhouses in this vast ocean.

The combined power they've unleashed is now so exaggerated that it's practically unstoppable.

Franky couldn't even find a way to defeat such an opponent!
Just then, a huge wave crashed in, causing the ship to veer to one side, with the edge of the deck almost touching the water. At that moment, a figure rushed in from a distance, slamming heavily onto the deck and using the strength of his body to stabilize the ship!
boom!
Seawater splashed.

Chloe raised her hand, adjusted her glasses, and her eyes showed only determination:
"In Britannias, there is no opponent Gawain cannot handle!"

The sound fell to the ground.

The old woman and Shamrock's attack had already reached Gawain.

Even though it didn't hit him, its powerful offensive still gave Gao Wen goosebumps!
He has faced many strong opponents.

Many of them were one-on-one, surpassing the older women and Shamrock.

But even they pale in comparison to this move.

To defeat two opponents of equal caliber single-handedly is unprecedented, even in the history of One Piece, and certainly not in Gawain's mind.

Even among those of the same rank who fought two against one, only Shiki managed to storm Marine Headquarters and single-handedly battle Garp and Sengoku together.

This is arguably one of the toughest feats in the One Piece world, yet the result was still a failure, or even a crushing defeat!

But Gawain is different.

Britannias is his home ground!
An endless supply of ley line energy means unlimited stamina and mana!

"Two against one?!"

"It's more or less interesting."

"Let's see how well you can please me!"

A soft murmur escaped from Gawain's lips.

He didn't back down an inch, the blade in his hand gleaming, and even Kanze Masamune was excited about the battle to come!
Since its inception, it has pursued this very scene: fighting against the strong, an endless and infinite battle!

"Full Moon - Jade Pendant!"

Gao Wen defied the odds, raised his hand and swung his sword, directly confronting the combined forces of the two generals!

boom--!
The entangled forces collided high in the sky, and the explosive spray snapped all the towering trees within several kilometers!
The force that sent the floating Qilingom Saint flying thousands of meters away still managed to leave a scar on his face.

Even its self-healing ability is suppressed by the Conqueror's Haki within!

And this is just the beginning.

The first wave of attacks was merely the opening act; extremely dense clashes of blades clashed continuously in mid-air.

when!
when!
when!
Kanze Masamune, who mastered the black sword; Cerberus, the embodiment of a long sword; Napoleon in the hands of an old lady.

Three equally extraordinary swords clashed in mid-air!
With the combined efforts of the old woman and Shamrock, even Gawain was overwhelmed, leaving his body covered in countless wounds!

"Is he about to lose, Knight Gawain?!"

"The world's greatest swordsman, the man who slew the legend, was ultimately no match for the combined might of Shamrock and Big Mom!"

"It's still too difficult for one person to fight two opponents of the same level!"

……

The members of the Knights of God present were visibly excited.

After that battle, many people still harbored fear of Gawain. How could they not be excited to see Gawain defeated?

That is.

But Chiringom Saint couldn't laugh.

With the insightful abilities granted by the Kirin Fruit, he saw far more than others.

Even from thousands of meters away, Gao Wen's wounds could be seen.

Densely packed, resembling a slow, agonizing death!
However, what flowed from the wound was not blood, but some kind of blue liquid.

These wounds on Gawain healed completely in less than a second.

The battlefield may seem one-sided, but it's not the side everyone thinks it is!
He suddenly turned his head to look at the land in front of him and finally realized what the blue light flowing through the mountains and valleys was!
"It's all ley line energy so concentrated it's visible to the naked eye. If I remember correctly, the Crimson Dragon's power is..."

"Absorb the earth's energy to replenish stamina and heal injuries, while also unleashing a massive area-of-effect attack!!"

The members of the God's Knights, who were controlled by Im's will, looked into the distance with great interest, as if everything was under his control.

"It's just a pity."

"The Holy Mother's Flame has been completed ahead of schedule. It's a good opportunity for Britannias to test whether it still has some of the power it once possessed."
