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

Chapter 333 Defeat the Two Strongest, Meet Im!
It's no wonder that the older woman lost her composure like that.

Those who eat a Devil Fruit will be rejected by the sea and will never be able to touch seawater again. They will also be restrained by Seastone, which is extracted from seawater.

This is an ironclad rule written in the heart of every pirate on the high seas.

But now, this ironclad rule was shattered right in front of her by Gawain.

He overcame the seawater!

At this thought, all that arose in the old woman's heart was endless greed, which even overwhelmed her fear of Gawain.

If we could get a way to overcome the shortcomings of ability users from Gawain, we could easily win over a large number of ability users to serve us!
Even if one obtains it personally, it can greatly enhance combat capabilities at sea.

The ocean is a perpetual source of pain for those with superpowers. No matter how powerful their abilities become, they instantly lose all resistance once they come into contact with seawater.

However, if one can overcome the seawater problem by learning from Gawain and eat the Devil Fruit, there will be no side effects.

The value of Devil Fruits will skyrocket!
"Hand over the method to overcome the seawater!"

"Otherwise—!"

"Otherwise, what are you going to do? Kill me here?!"

The indifferent, mocking voice brought the middle-aged woman back to reality.

She turned her head.

Then he saw Shamrock standing to the side, his arm missing and his face deathly pale.

The latter's face was filled with fear.

Clearly, even if Shamrock still has fighting ability, it is far from his peak.

Even when Natsume Rock was at his peak and teamed up with Big Mom, they could only manage a 50/50 match against Gawain at best, and in a prolonged battle, they would inevitably lose!
The old woman wasn't the only one aware of this; Shamrock was also aware of his own situation.

One-on-one.

I am no match for this monster!
Do not!
In this era, even Kaido of the Beasts, who is known as the strongest creature in the world, or even Whitebeard, might not be his match!

This guy……

It already bears some resemblance to the legendary Rocks!
withdraw!
Shamlock lost all will to fight and immediately retreated.

Britannias's plan has failed.

Even if he hadn't gone bankrupt by this point, he still had a bad feeling.

After all, he hadn't sensed his companion's presence since the beginning.

Even ordinary members of the Knights have combat strength comparable to naval officers, and several captains are far superior to ordinary vice admirals.

They are immortal, so it's even less likely that they would die from the aftermath of the battle!
Given the current situation...

Shamrock felt a chill run down his spine and immediately sped up.

"Damn it!"

The woman came to her senses:

"This brat's fighting strength is already close to that of Whitebeard back in the day. I alone would never be a match for him!"

"But if we can team up with Kaido, we might have a chance!"

The old woman waved her hand, activated the Soul-Soul Fruit's power, splitting off another portion of her soul to reshape Zeus the thundercloud, which then carried her away.

Now that she has finally escaped, she has already gained something in a way. Even if she wants to get Gawain's method to overcome the Devil Fruit, she can do so later.

just.

Gao Wen, however, had no intention of giving them a chance.

In the battle of Water Seven, he was betrayed by the entire world, and the sneak attack by the Knights of God indirectly led to Gin's disappearance.

Gao Wen will naturally collect both of these debts!
"Then I'll annihilate you all with a single blow!"

"hiss--!"

A heavy inhalation came from Gawain's mouth as boundless ley line energy converged into his body, forming streams of light in the air!
To accommodate the even greater earth vein energy, Gawain's body gradually expanded, transforming into a red dragon.

The red dragon is now much larger than before, with a body length of nearly two hundred meters. Even when standing on all fours, it is as huge as a mountain.

Its body covered in scales and spikes gives it a primal and ferocious wildness.

soon.

The ground beneath Gawain's feet gradually began to turn into sand, spreading outwards from his feet. A sense of oppression began to permeate the air, as heavy as the deep sea.

far away.

Those standing on the deck of the Lionheart Knight felt as if they could not breathe.

They looked up and saw a familiar scene.

"is that one!"

"The one the captain used once in the Drum Kingdom!"

Chopper let out a gasp.

He still remembers the spores burning everywhere in the Drum Kingdom, and the pink snow.

Luo swallowed hard, a hint of anticipation flickering in his eyes:

"Is that the captain's trump card?!"

"I really want to see it with my own eyes—!"

"Look at your ass!"

Kro interrupted him directly, his voice trembling slightly.

His previous experience of escaping from the Drum Kingdom was hardly a pleasant one for him.

after all.

Since then, Gawain's combat power has increased several levels. The power he unleashed this time is bound to be far greater than that time, or even the time he attacked the World Fleet before!
"Franky!"

"withdraw!"

"Hurry up!"

"That guy Gawain..."

"She's about to explode!"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Franky's forehead, but his eyes suddenly became incredibly bright:

"That's perfect, let me show you the secret weapon on this ship!"

He immediately rushed into the cabin.

on the deck.

Seeing Kro's solemn expression, everyone felt a sense of unease.

Law, Cavendish, and other newcomers didn't know what Gawain was up to, but they knew that Kuro's strength was definitely no weaker than that of an ordinary Shichibukai.

What could make Chloe so serious...?

next moment.

They then saw what it was that Crow feared!
The end of sight.

Gawain drained the pale blue mantle energy, raised his dragon head, and began to compress the ley line energy within his body, then suddenly opened his mouth wide.

Phew——!
A piercing screech erupted.

A beam of extremely thin, deep blue laser shot out from Gawain's mouth, sweeping across the two fleeing figures in the distance!
Wherever the laser passed, towering trees were instantly burned to charcoal, and the soil and rocks on the ground dissolved, like a river flowing with magma, radiating astonishing heat.

When the laser touched the seawater, the nearby sea surface suddenly caved in, and endless seawater was evaporated.

The whole of Britannias seemed to be ablaze at that moment!
The old woman was a step too slow and was hit by the Crimson Emperor Azure Star, which Gawain described as being compressed into a laser. One of her arms was completely burned through, with only a little skin and flesh connecting her to her body.

The intense pain made her break out in a cold sweat, but she had no time to hesitate.

The laser beam sweeping from behind her again gave her an unprecedented sense of crisis!

If you get hit by that thing, you really will die!

She was both shocked and terrified.

Previously in Water Seven, she was ambushed by Gawain, and her entire body was burned, but it only looked scary and did not cause any real damage.

after all.

Among the current Four Emperors, her combat strength may be slightly inferior to the others.

But in terms of defensive capabilities alone, she might not be inferior to Kaido.

She was a born monster.

From the moment of birth, they possess strength that surpasses that of ordinary people, even comparable to giants, and their physique is thousands of times stronger than that of ordinary people.

In terms of talent alone, she is arguably the strongest of her generation.

But at this moment, facing Gawain's attack, she had the illusion of facing death for the first time!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

The old woman activated the power of her soul, and Napoleon suddenly accelerated, barely avoiding Gawain's burst of power before disappearing into the clouds without looking back.

Shamrock, on the other hand, was not so lucky.

His chest was burned through by Gawain's laser, and he collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale. His arm, already severed by Gawain, was now pierced through, leaving him utterly powerless to resist.

He collapsed to the ground, slumped over.

Before losing consciousness, all I saw was a knife aimed at my neck.

Sigh...

I’m really unwilling!

In a daze, a familiar yet chilling voice appeared in his ear.

"He is Mu's man."

You can't kill him.

above the earth.

The jet-black pentagram pattern unfolded instantly.

A figure suddenly appeared, blocking the way between Gawain and Shamrock.

He blocked Gawain's knife with just one finger.

Ding--!
Sparks flew, and a piercing buzzing sound exploded in the air.

"Um?!"

Gao Wen frowned deeply.

The reason was simply because the person standing before him was an ordinary member of the Knights of God.

He had seen this person before in the battle in the dilapidated port. He was of average strength, around the upper-middle level of Silver.

Whether he could survive Zoro's sword was a question, let alone so easily block Gawain's sword.

The only possibility is...

The consciousness within this body is no longer the original one!

On this vast ocean, there is only one who can do such a thing, and that is Im!
A supreme powerhouse who ruled the world for eight hundred years and whose strength is unfathomable!
"Judging from your reaction, it seems you know of Mu's existence."

Im raised his eyes.

Bat-like wings slashed open on the back of this body, and a long tail like an arrowhead swayed behind him. A trident also took shape in his hand, making him look exactly like the demon in the legends.

at the same time.

Amidst the surrounding ruins, the members of the Knights of God, who had previously lost consciousness, stiffly stood up and transformed into demonic forms as well.

His aura was several times stronger than before!
"Mm is very interested in you."

"In the eight hundred years since the World Government was established, I have never met such an outstanding young man as you. At such a young age, you have power that is close to the pinnacle."

"Did you come to Britannias for immortality?!"

Im glanced at the old woman who had disappeared into the distance, then at Shamrock who was unconscious beside him, and then connected it with the information he had previously received about Gawain.

It's a conviction in my heart.

Gawain appeared in Britannias and even obtained the power of bone ahead of time, undoubtedly for the sake of immortality.

The power Gao Wenzhan has displayed today has earned him the right to take him seriously.

"You are very good."

"However, as a reward for helping Mu capture the traitor, Mu can grant you the same thing."

"That is eternal life and an immortal body."

"The price is to become my slave."

"Do not."

"Perhaps this is not much of a price to pay; it is an honor to be able to grovel at my feet."

Gao Wen frowned, feeling displeased.

He only looked at the members of the God's Knights beside him, who had been completely transformed into demonic forms and turned into weapons of war.

Im immediately lost interest in Im's so-called immortality.

These people had all received Im's blessing and were granted so-called immortality and eternal life, but the price they paid was this scene before them.

Gawain had no intention of being someone's dog, nor was he prepared to fight Im here, but now the die was cast.

His gaze gradually sharpened, and he quietly gripped the long sword in his hand.

Sudden.

"Um?!"

Im looked down at his own body.

Wisps of black smoke rose from his arm as his body's flesh gradually crumbled and dried up at a visible speed.

"The suitability of this physical body is still far too poor. It can't even withstand this much?!"

"What a disappointment."

"If you can't find what you're looking for in Britannias, I'll be waiting for you in Mary Geoise."

"I believe you will make the right choice."

The sound fell to the ground.

Im vanished without a trace, along with the surrounding members of the Order of the Gods.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment.

Only the flowing lava continues to scorch the earth, flowing into the sea and rising steam.

Gawain slowly put away Kanse Masamune, his mind still replaying Im's words:
"Have you misunderstood my purpose in coming here? That I'm looking for the secret to immortality?!"

"but."

"From Im's words, it is not difficult to infer that he should be able to determine that I could not find a way to achieve immortality in Britannias."

"In other words, there is a very high probability that the legend of flesh, blood, bones, heart, and soul contains some unknown risk!"

"Anyway."

"It's always good to be careful."

"This guy's abilities..."

"It's more troublesome than I imagined!"

"I can't get rid of this Shichibukai skin yet, at least not until I truly have the ability to fight that monster."

Thinking of this.

Gao Wen gradually calmed down.

Fortunately.

Judging from what Im just said, he seems convinced that I am here for immortality, and he looks like he has me cornered.

This, in turn, gave Gao Wen room to maneuver.

But at this moment.

The end of sight.

Three figures, riding golden skateboards, sped towards us.

As Tezoro watched the figure grow closer and closer, becoming increasingly familiar, he felt that the other person looked more and more familiar.

The golden skateboard came to a stop in mid-air.

Tezoro suddenly turned around and looked at Akin:
"Who exactly is this captain you're talking about?!"

Tezoro didn't realize that his voice was trembling.

Recently.

He had heard countless praises of the captain from Akin, but the man standing before him now was clearly the knight Gawain!
How could that man who abandoned his beliefs be the same person that Akin described—a compassionate individual who was willing to fight against the Knights of God for the sake of his comrades?!

absurd!

"Feel sorry."

Akin's tone was apologetic:

"I originally planned to tell you my real identity, but I never had the chance. My real name is A-Jin."

"Gold the Demon? Knight Gawain's right-hand man?!"

"Ah."

Ajin nodded.

"But that man you're talking about..."

"How could this be... how could it be Knight Gawain?!"
