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

Chapter 331 Let him sink into the sea!

"But in any case, no one can leave Britannias alive."

Im's tone was indifferent, yet it conveyed an undeniable conviction.

It was as if what they said was the only truth in the world.

Even the battle taking place in Britannias at this moment was nothing more than a pastime for him.

But these words struck Chiringom Saint like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

"Im...sir..."

Qilingom Saint opened his mouth, only to find it dry and parched.

Most of the time, the Knights of God are the agents of Im's will.

The destruction of a country or the elimination of potential threats are usually handled by the Knights of God.

It can be said that the distance between the Knights of God and Im is closer than the distance between the Five Elders and Im.

Therefore, the Knights of God knew more secrets, including the weapon that required the power of the Holy Mother's flames.

"What you said is..."

Im glanced back at Saint Qilingom indifferently, then ignored him.

Treat him like air, or dust on your clothes.

No matter how great the value, no matter how outstanding the ability, whether it is active or passive, whether it is known or not.

betray.

It's betrayal.

Betrayer do not deserve to be forgiven.

These were the words Im had once spoken, and Saint Chiringom still remembered them, and would always remember them. At this moment, all he felt was an indescribable fear.

He had witnessed the fate of countless traitors.

The blessing imprinted on their souls granted them near-immortality, but it also meant voluntarily entrusting their souls to Im's hands.

From that point on, life and death were no longer in our own hands.

Saint Chiringom knelt slowly before Im, his lips almost touching the latter's heels.

Just like those slaves who used to fawn over him.

no difference.

It's all just about surviving.

"Lord Im, the whole thing was all Shamrock's doing..."

"Shh!"

Im placed his finger to his lips and said:

"Then, to prove your loyalty, you'll stay kneeling here until this battle is over."

"If you survive, it means you still have value."

Saint Qilingom opened his mouth, but his voice remained as submissive as ever:
"Yes!"

"Lord Im!"

next moment.

In the high-altitude battlefield, another powerful impact erupted, scraping a layer of skin off the earth.

boom!
boom!
boom!
A towering tree, as tall as a mountain, collapsed and lay across the middle of the river. The splashing water landed on Qilingom Saint, making him feel only a bone-chilling cold.

In the howling wind.

Even the members of the Knights who were possessed by Im had already left.

Only Chiringom remained kneeling in the same spot, his movements unchanged in the slightest.

Because he knew it.

His life had already been entrusted to Im on the day he received the blessing.

God's commands are absolute!
Those who disobey will die!

This is also etched into the very bones and blood of Saint Chiringom.

……

Anticipating that things were not going well and that the scale of the battle was beyond imagination, Kro immediately organized everyone to retreat.

However, he didn't expect that his actions were ultimately a step too slow.

The Lionheart Knight was like a lone boat in a storm, swaying precariously and nearly capsizing several times. It was only with the combined efforts of everyone that it was barely stabilized.

Hua Hua Hua——!
Water droplets fell from the sky, hitting the deck of the Lionheart Knight.

It also slammed heavily onto Zoro and the others' shoulders.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

Exclamations erupted from Franky's mouth; he only regretted that his modified body didn't have enough strength to carry the ship across the sea!
Luo stood on the deck, raised his fingers, and directly controlled the Lionheart Knight to take off, avoiding the oncoming giant wave.

boom--!
The hull of the boat struck the water, causing it to rock violently.

Everyone steadied themselves, but their gazes all fell on the three figures fighting in the sky!
"One of my rivals is Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, and the other is..."

"monster!"

"They're all monsters!"

"How exactly did the captain cultivate his skills?!"

"He can fight two opponents at once and hold his own without being at a disadvantage at all, it's unbelievable!"

Franky's question went unanswered.

Zoro swung his sword and cut down a towering tree blocking the way, but his gaze remained fixed on the three figures high in the sky.

The demon sword at his waist stirred restlessly!
That's the instinct of a blade, the desire to fight the strong and be stained with the blood of legends!

Zoro held Muramasa down, his eyes filled with an indescribable longing.

He was not a reckless fool, and he knew that the battlefield there was no longer something he could interfere with.

Even if they are only affected, they will be instantly killed and die without a burial place!
"so……"

"The captain didn't use his full strength when he defeated Hawkeye?"

The cigarette in Sanji's mouth was already soaked by the seawater. His blond hair obscured his eyes, making his expression impossible to see, but his tone was extremely solemn, revealing his unwillingness:

"I thought that as we cultivate, the distance between us and the captain should get closer and closer."

"But is the result taking us further and further away from our goal?!"

"Tch—!"

"I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

"Ah~"

Van Augur removed his blindfold, his eyes lowered, and he felt that the dew in his hand was getting hot.

That was due to the rapid firing causing the gun barrel to heat up, and also his hands.

He knew perfectly well that the figures fighting high in the sky, especially Gao Wen who was fighting two against one, were perhaps a height that he could never reach, no matter how hard he tried in his life.

"The captain..."

"too strong!"

on the deck.

There was silence.

Only the gazes of the crowd grew increasingly intense, almost burning.

An invincible leader will inevitably inspire boundless confidence in his subordinates.

Even just standing there, such a person can stabilize morale within the army.

I am here.

All is not a problem.

At this moment.

Gawain's fight with the old lady and Shamrock high in the sky gave them that kind of illusion!
"abnormal!"

Kro spat, his gaze suddenly froze, and he looked abruptly at the distant island.

The members of the Knights of God stood atop the mountain, calmly gazing at the battle raging in the sky.

They seemed to be enjoying a grand performance!

"This guy is the one we fought last time... wait, no!"

"wrong!"

"Totally wrong!"

The moment the man looked back at him, Kro felt his hair stand on end, and even had the illusion that a deadly threat was right in front of him!
"Such a monster is hidden within the Knights of God?!"

"retreat!"

Kro suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

In the moment when everyone was stunned, he manipulated the airflow to propel the Lionheart Knight beneath his feet, skimming the water's surface and speeding away into the distance in a near-flying manner.

The speed was unprecedented! "Oh~"

Im raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze falling on the Lionheart Knight:
"Interesting bugs."

"Can you sense my threat?!"

He looked closely at Chloe, only to see a panicked face, and immediately felt utterly bored.
"Pity."

"It's not pleasing to the eye."

That fleeting interest vanished in an instant; Im withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on the battle high in the sky!
now.

The battle between the three gradually intensified.

The old woman spared no effort to consume her soul and activate her gigantic ability, causing her size to explode and her physical strength to soar. Even Gawain had a hard time breaking through this defense.

Shamrock, on the other hand, took full advantage of the moment when Big Mom was taking the damage head-on, and used Cerberus to leave wounds on Gawain.

Phew——!
Amidst the ear-piercing friction sound.

The three-headed dog's sharp teeth bit into Gawain's dragon scales, but only left a few bloody marks and had no other effect!
"What the hell!"

"This guy's defensive capabilities are just too strong!"

"Even compared to older women, she's just as good!"

Shamlock frowned, raised his hand and summoned back the three-headed dog, which transformed into a long sword. He held it in his hand and then attacked Gawain!

He was well aware of the Red Dragon's abilities.

The Red Dragon possesses near-limitless stamina in Britannias, and its wounds heal instantly.

In other words, if Gawain cannot be killed instantly, then the damage done is meaningless!
Thinking of this.

Natsume Locke gripped his longsword even tighter:
"Auntie!"

"Such an attack is pointless!"

"With such a massive supply of ley line energy, no matter what injury he suffers, as long as he is not killed directly, he will recover instantly!"

"To win, we must work together!"

"Kill him in an instant!"

"Or perhaps we should send it to the bottom of the sea!"

The woman retreated abruptly, panting heavily.

She was known for her physique, and after decades in the industry, she earned the nickname "Iron Balloon".

There are very few people who can leave scars on her.

Many of them have already perished, such as Roger the Golden Lion.

Unexpectedly, there's one more person here today.

on the chest.

A hideous slash appeared, cutting from the left shoulder all the way to the abdomen.

Although only the skin was cut open, the deeper muscles were not damaged, and it did not affect mobility.

But the shock this blow brought her was still beyond her imagination, and it made her realize a fact.

Even if he and Shamrock joined forces, they might not be able to truly kill Gawain in front of them.

The two were deep in thought.

Gawain's slash came close again, cutting between the two and tearing apart the clouds, looking particularly ferocious!
"Killing him instantly is unrealistic. The only solution is to knock him into the sea!"

"it is good!"

Shamlock responded, his gaze sharpening once more.

Although it was only the first time he and the old lady had worked together, they were extremely in sync. One of them took the damage head-on, while the other used his abilities to interfere with Gawain's attacks or launch crucial strikes.

And this time.

Both of them simultaneously assumed a fighting stance, clearly intending to use an overwhelming strike to sink Gao Wen into the sea.

Under normal circumstances, if a person with superpowers sinks into the sea, they will only face death.

Even fish-men with superpowers can lose the ability to move, and if they don't receive timely treatment, they will probably only face death.

But both the old lady and Shamrock knew that Gawain was a pure human!

Shamrock brandished his sword, and the three-headed dog charged toward Gawain, opening its blood-red maw in mid-air as if to devour its opponent alive!

The collar around the three-headed dog's neck spun rapidly, like chainsaws!
The powerful attack continued, but Gawain remained indifferent and swung his sword horizontally. Unexpectedly, the three-headed dog split into three in mid-air, with its three heads biting Gawain's arm and legs, respectively.

"Um?!"

Gawain narrowed his eyes slightly. He had already noticed the middle-aged woman poised to take off high in the sky, while below Gawain was the surging sea!
"Is that what you're planning?!"

Gao Wen understood, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

next moment.

The old woman's furious voice exploded in the air:

"Elbaf's Gun!"

"Bahai!"

The impact was like a beam of light, shooting down from above and blasting Gawain's body into the sea until it reached the middle!
The seawater surged, and ripples spread outwards in all directions!

The wind howled, uprooting the surrounding trees!
The shockwave propelled the Lionheart Knight several kilometers away.

The members of the God Knights, possessed by Im, were ultimately too weak and were caught in the blast of Big Mom's attack, losing consciousness on the spot.

The Den Den Mushi on his shoulder was completely shattered.

Inside Mary Geoise.

The scene before everyone's eyes came to an abrupt halt, as if everything had been paused the moment Gawain was thrown into the sea by the old woman.

"That monster was young and powerful, but ultimately lost out in terms of combat experience?!"

Maz Saint stroked his long beard, a hint of disdain in his eyes:
"This is the downside of a smooth road."

"He underestimated his opponent and was too arrogant."

"Knight Gawain originally held an absolute advantage in this battle, but he suffered a crushing defeat due to his tactics."

"Yes."

Nasujiro nodded, a grimace curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Based on his potential, he could have gone much further."

“Even further than Roger and Rocks back then, they have become a major threat to us.”

"but."

"This saves us some trouble, but..."

Nasujiro's gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, swept over Karin Sei to the side.

In the latter's eyes, he saw a complex mix of emotions: secret joy, worry, restraint, and a deep-seated, hidden resentment...

hatred?!

Hate is the right thing to do!

The more you hate, the more you suffer.

This is the true torture that Lord Im has bestowed upon you...

Eternal torment!
On the other side, Saint Satan had a different idea. He looked at Im and said respectfully:

"Lord Im."

"Knight Gawain has sunk into the sea. Even if he doesn't die, he probably won't have the strength to fight."

"The battle of Britannias has come to an end."

"The vast land there also has extraordinary value for us, after all, there is no resource in this world more precious than land."

"Regarding the weapon test, perhaps..."

"Haha~"

A chuckle.

It came from above the throne.

Everyone couldn't help but look up at Im.

The latter's face was obscured by shadows, but his eyes stood out prominently.

"Is it really that simple?!"

"That guy died at sea so easily?!"

"But I clearly saw contempt in his eyes!"

"Extremely arrogant and self-centered contempt!"

"You should be very familiar with that look in your eyes, like watching two clowns dancing!"

"But what other options do ability users have after being blasted into the sea?!"

"Really..."

"It piques my curiosity!"
