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

Chapter 335 Angel
To Gawain's surprise, Tezoro instinctively took a step back and shook his head:

"I'm sorry, I'm not qualified yet."

Looking at Gawain, who was bathed in golden light, Tezoro's eyes were filled with unspeakable longing, but even more so with determination.

Unwavering determination!
"I am not qualified until I completely remove the mark left by the Celestial Dragons from my body."

Gawain glanced at the bloodied flesh in Tezoro's hand, and the twisted hoof of the Sky Soaring Dragon was vaguely visible. He instantly understood what had happened and nodded slightly.
"There will be a place for you on my ship."

"If you plan to invest in the martial arts tournament, you can contact Alabasta later; I have people there."

"it is good!"

Tezoro nodded emphatically, then parted ways with Gawain and his group, embarking on the journey back to the Golden City with Des.

Under the sun.

Tezoro's spine straightened.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction made his steps lighter and lighter, as if he had come back to life.

"Boss, you..."

Dais followed behind Tesoro, his gaze fixed on him, and he felt that everything about Tesoro had changed.

He knew it wasn't an illusion.

We now know more clearly who brought all of this to light.

But from now on, behind the Golden City stands not only the World Government, not only a few Celestial Dragons, but also the man on the sea who is closest to the Four Emperors!
Do not!
Recalling Gawain's feat of single-handedly defeating Big Mom and the Knights of God, Shamrock, who joined forces.

Daisy's breathing almost stopped.

Everything that just happened seemed like a dream, and only now did he realize what Gawain's record truly meant!
Those were the Four Emperors who were defeated!
Gawain is not just close to the Four Emperors, but he already possesses the powerful combat strength to directly defeat the combined forces of the Four Emperors.

"Des, keep up!"

A call brought Desce back to his senses. He looked up and saw Tezoro with a gentle smile on his face.

It was a smile he had never seen before, yet for the first time it made him realize that he was more than just a tool and subordinate to Tezoro.

Perhaps it should be called...

companion? !
The word that he once scoffed at now made him feel that perhaps risking his life to save Tesoro wasn't such a bad thing after all.

"Yes!"

Dais responded.

Keep up quickly.

The two figures quickly disappeared into the shore.

Their spare ship was hidden nearby. Gawain and his group were to continue deeper into Britannias, while Tezoro was to carry out his revenge.

A few hours later.

Golden City.

Bakara sat in her office, idly watching the surveillance footage of a gambler who had lost everything, hysterically causing a scene in the casino, and being shot dead by the casino's guards.

Just as she was feeling incredibly bored, the Den Den Mushi in her arms rang.

Blu-bloom—!
"BOSS?!"

“It’s me, Bakara. I’ve already gotten away from Britannias. We don’t need to worry about what happens here.”

After briefly explaining his situation, Tezoro gave the order:
I accept your previous proposal.

"From this moment forward, we will fully support Knight Gawain in ascending the throne."

"That man has a will of gold, and what he pursues has never been hegemony or the so-called One Piece, but rather to give more people the opportunity to live!"

Bakala's mind went blank for a moment, and she blurted out:

"Boss, didn't you say before that only Gawain couldn't do it?!"

Bakara's memory is still stuck not long ago, when Tezoro sat in his office, angrily berating Gawain for abandoning his beliefs.

As a result, after Tezoro's trip to Britannias, the trade route wasn't restored, and now he's even lost it himself?!

Bakara naturally did not object to cooperating with Gawain's group.

After all, this was originally her proposal to Tezoro, but if this cooperation was reached under duress, then it needs to be handled with caution.

"If the BOSS is threatened, I can contact Mary Geoise, you..."

"Then was then, and the present is now!"

Tezoro blushed, glared at Dess, who was trying not to laugh, and said in a stiff tone:
"In short, from now on, I am a collaborator with Gao Wen's group, and if possible, we will cooperate more deeply in the future."

"This is an order!"

Bakara sat upright:
"Yes!"

hang up the phone.

Tezoro turned to look at Des, only to see the latter's face flushed red, and said with a hint of helplessness:
"Laugh if you want to..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"You really dare to do that?"

……

A few hours ago, when the battle ended.

Marie Joa, Pangu City.

in the hall.

The Five Elders looked at the Knights of God who had been teleported back with Im, and at Shamlock, who had lost an arm and was critically injured and on the verge of death. For a moment, there was complete silence.

Garin, standing to the side, looked ashen-faced, but still somewhat puzzled.

In the battle scene before the projection cut off, Shamrock and Big Mom had teamed up to blast Knight Gawain into the sea.

Logically, there is no chance of survival for a person with superpowers who comes into contact with seawater, so why did the battle end with Shamrock being seriously injured and on the verge of death?

As for the old lady's fate, there's no need to ask any further.

With a bit of luck, they might escape unscathed; with a bit of bad luck, they might already be dead in Britannias.

If it's not Knight Gawain, then it's...

Garin's heart sank, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Im on the throne.

"Shamrock has been defeated, defeated by the knight Gawain."

Im seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, directly answering the questions in everyone's minds.

"How can it be!"

Garin Sei's lips parted slightly:
"The ocean is the nemesis of those with superpowers, so theoretically, Knight Gawain should have no chance of surviving!"

"No!"

Satan, standing to the side, suddenly focused his gaze, as if struck by a sudden thought, and spoke up:

“We were all misled by what we saw at the time; falling into the sea does not mean that Gawain came into contact with seawater.”

"By coating the body surface or using other means, the seawater around the body can be displaced, allowing even ability users to move in the seawater."

"Knight Gawain may have used this method to ensure his safety!"

Jia Lin felt utterly devastated; his face turned even paler, and he looked much older than before.

Shamrock is now firmly under Im's control, and it is foreseeable that Shamrock will inevitably become Im's puppet in the future.

For those who yearn for freedom, endless enslavement is a punishment far more painful than death.

Shanks, another descendant of Figarand, inherited Roger's will and harbored extreme hatred for the Celestial Dragons' bloodline.

In other words.

The future that Karin Seisho had imagined has been shattered from this moment on.

"maybe……"

On the throne.

Im recalled Gawain, who was soaked in seawater, and narrowed his eyes slightly, but he still couldn't figure out why Gawain was able to ignore the seawater's restraint on ability users.

The only plausible explanation is Satan's conjecture.

However, none of this mattered to him. Im said calmly:
"Even if he has any hidden secrets, he will eventually fall into my hands; it's just a matter of time."

"His appearance in Britannias proves that what he seeks is immortality, something that the so-called legend of immortality in Britannias cannot give him."

"Only I can give it to him!"

between words.

Im glanced at Garin, his tone laced with sarcasm:

"Flesh and blood, bones and soul, an eternally immortal body."

"If it were truly that wonderful, how could I possibly let it exist forever?!"

"To be honest, I was even somewhat looking forward to the day when you could actually find all these fruits and see what you could create."

"However, there's no chance now..."

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Im's eyes lit up:
"With the strength of Knight Gawain, it is indeed possible to conquer Britannias. Big Mom is seriously injured, and it will not be easy for her to escape."

"It's really exciting! If it can gather all those abilities, what will it ultimately create!"

Garin trembled, but remained kneeling beneath the throne, not daring to overstep his bounds in the slightest.

The immortality bestowed upon him by Im was both a blessing and a slave collar placed around his neck, a slave collar that could not be removed.

The five elders standing to the side were also silent and trembling with fear.

Beneath the throne, all was silent.

Im looked up and gazed into the distance.

As far as the eye can see.

It is the direction of Britannias.

He has an endless lifespan, and even Joy Boy was defeated by him back then.

No one, no matter how strong, can withstand the test of time.

Even though Gawain is proud and unwilling to submit now, time will change everything.

When his flesh and blood decay and his life comes to an end, he will realize that compared to death, so-called freedom is utterly insignificant.

They will eventually kneel before you and kiss your toes.

……

……

……

The outer sea area of ​​Britannias.

The old woman riding on the thundercloud sped along the sea surface, trying to get away from Britannias as quickly as possible.

Stay away from that powerful monster!

The woman was still shaken, but her eyes held an even greater, almost insatiable greed!
"I lost a lot this time, but I gained just as much!"

"In fact, Gawain has a way to help people overcome the seawater's restraint. If we can get this method, it would be worth losing an arm."

"Just right!"

"After all these years, it's time for that brat Kaido to repay the favor he owes me."

The battle at Britannias completely woke Big Mom up, and she now regards Gawain as an opponent on par with Whitebeard.

Facing such an enemy, her own strength alone is definitely not enough, but with Kaido involved, everything is different!
"Even Gawain the Knight is no stronger than me and Kaido combined. At that time, I will kill all your companions right in front of you!"

As she spoke, the image of this scene subconsciously surfaced in the woman's mind.

"Mom~Mom~"

The woman couldn't help but let out a smug laugh, but her expression froze the next moment.

On the sea in the distance.

A beam of light, tens of meters in diameter, fell from the sky.

A tall man with six wings on his back and a halo above his head appeared from the pillar of light, like a god who had stepped out of a scripture!
"You are……"

Wales, perched high above, looked down upon the king of the sea and spoke in an unquestionable tone:
"I'll lend you my ability!"

The woman paused, feeling as if she had heard those words somewhere before, and then erupted in fury:
"you dare!"

How dare you say such a thing to me!

"I want you to die!"

Recalling her previous experience, the woman was furious.

She raised her hand in a gesture of grasping, and Napoleon flew down from above, attaching himself to her severed arm to form a bladed arm that slashed towards Wales in the distance!

These people repeatedly treated her as nothing, as if she were something to be disposed of at will, causing her to almost completely lose control.

Driven by rage, all he wanted was to obliterate the enemy before him as quickly as possible.

"Who do you think I am!"

"I really don't want to fight..."

Wales looked slightly embarrassed, but his gaze remained indifferent.
"do you know?!"

"This is an unfair battle. You are not only fighting against me, but also against the tens of millions of believers who stand behind the gods!"

hiss--!
Wales took a deep breath, and his body began to expand at a visible speed, instantly transforming into a giant over ten meters tall.

His once white hair turned black, making him look much younger. His muscles were bulging, his blood was surging, and he exuded a primal and savage sense of power!

Only the pair of wings behind him remained the same size, looking extremely comical as they fell behind his enormous wings!
But the middle-aged woman who attacked at this moment couldn't laugh at all!

He'd seen that ability before!

"This is one of the six fruits from Beehive Island back then, a Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Angel form?!"

The woman abruptly stopped swinging her knife, and without a moment's hesitation, she retreated rapidly, fleeing as fast as she could, but she was ultimately a step too late.

Wales' fist was already pressed against her chest!
puff--!
A cloud of blood mist exploded behind the woman. She felt a sudden weakness wash over her, her consciousness fading. All she felt was resentment.

"If I hadn't been seriously injured, I wouldn't have lost to you!"

After saying that, the woman could no longer control her body.

It fell into the sea.

Before she closed her eyes, she seemed to see countless faces layered upon each other in the golden light behind Wales.

Wales grabbed the old woman's body and looked at her obese body with disdain.

"I have acquired the power of the soul."

"What we need next are the abilities of bone, blood, and flesh. The ability of bone is in the hands of Knight Gawain, and the abilities of blood and flesh were originally obtained by the Knights of God, and now they should have fallen into the hands of Gawain and his group as well."

"What needs to be done next..."

Wales turned to look in Britannias' direction, a smile gradually spreading across his face:

"The only option is to wait!"

"Hahahahahaha——!"

The arrogant, ferocious laughter echoed across the entire sea, only to vanish completely in an instant.

Wales' expression hardened as he looked at the heavily injured woman, then glanced at the defensive line where Gawain had disappeared, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes:
"Defeating the combined forces of the Four Emperors and the Knights of God, that guy will probably be a tough opponent..."

"but."

"It's not that there's no way!"

……

at the same time.

Eagle Rider Bevel landed in a village near Britannias.

But all the villagers in sight had lost consciousness.
