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

Chapter 34 Filling the Heart
Seeing the navy arrive, Gao Wen couldn't help but feel like backing out.

By now in the battle, he had delayed Smoger's progress for several hours.

If Cloe hasn't found a way to escape or hide his whereabouts after such a long time, then he, as the second-in-command, should consider changing people.

Think of this.

Gawain turned around and prepared to leave, but his eyes paused slightly after he noticed a familiar figure in the white smoke.

Ajin, who had already been seriously injured, had completely lost the strength to resist at this moment. He lay powerlessly on the ground, blood oozing from the wounds on his body.

Only the slightly rising and falling chest proved that Ajin was still alive.

"Good luck guy."

Gawain curled his lips, and disappeared from the spot the next moment, along with Ajin's body.

……

Raven Harbor.

As the battle ended, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Dashigi led a group of marines to quickly walk down from the warship.

"Colonel Smoger, how's the battle going?"

"Knight Gawain is a very dangerous guy, more dangerous than us and the navy expected."

Smoger looked towards where Gawain disappeared, his face extremely solemn:
"I have a feeling that if we can't keep him in the East China Sea, a character like Red Hair might appear in the New World in a few years."

As he spoke, Smoger raised his arms.

Only then did he realize that the fingers that had been clenching his ten hands were now trembling.

He clenched his five fingers into a fist and said coldly:

"Raven Harbor has no other outlet to the sea. Let's seal off the port first. Only people allowed to enter but not leave."

"Also take out my spare ten hands."

Dashiqi was stunned and reminded:
"The spare one doesn't have seastone, so its hardness and ability to suppress ability users are greatly reduced."

"That's the one I want."

"So the other party even took away your weapon?"

Dashigi took a deep breath, but was extremely wary of Gawain, a knight she had never met before.

He knew Smoger's strength very well. He was the best among his peers. It would be a waste of talent if he was placed in the East China Sea.

Anyone who could beat Smoker so hard that he lost his temper and had his weapons taken away would be a tough guy in the Grand Line.

"Colonel Smoger, what the hell--!"

Just as Dashiqi was about to continue asking, she saw her boss's face darken and he almost bit off the two cigars in his mouth:

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

"Yes!"

Dashigi subconsciously stood up straight. While she was thinking, she heard Smoker's low voice:
"By the way, find two people to see if they can help me pick up the Sea Tower Stone Ten Hands. It's probably in that location. After all, it's a specially made weapon and it's very expensive. It's worth several years of my salary."

"what?"

Dashiqi had a black question mark on her face.

"So he was knocked into the sea by his opponent?"

Smoger sighed:
"I told you not to ask, I threw it in!"

Dashigi looked confused.

What kind of operation is this?
Smoger simply skipped the topic and focused his attention on the burning port in the distance:

"Also send some marines to help the guards in the port with the rescue work."

"Yes."

Smoger nodded, then looked solemnly towards the place where Gawain disappeared:
"I will personally lead a team to search the port. We must keep that guy here this time. Otherwise, it will be a shame for us if he really goes to the Grand Line."

soon.

Rows of marines, led by Tashigi, spread out into the port, rescuing civilians and conducting a carpet search of any hiding places in the port.

From residential areas to commercial districts and then to the peripheral black markets, nothing was gained except for capturing a few fugitives.

The next morning, the sun gradually rose and shone into the port, and the situation gradually came under the control of the navy.

Smoger listened to the information sent back by Darth, looked at the map of Raven Harbor, and frowned slightly:

"You said that there was another group of marines rescuing civilians in the port before us?"

"Yes."

Dasqi nodded:

"But it's strange. After our people took over the port, these people began to leave in an organized manner. Even in the end, we didn't know which base they came from."

"Colonel Smoger, do you think it could be someone left behind by Colonel Mouse?"

Smoger sneered:
"Compared to scum like rats, I would rather believe that they are pirates in disguise."

"However, although we don't know which base these marines are from, they are probably not enemies. Our top priority now is to capture Knight Gawain first!"

Smoger pointed to the core location on the map.
"The only place we haven't searched yet is the Lord's Mansion."

"This……"

Dashiqi hesitated slightly:
"We don't have an internal search warrant. It would be against the rules to attack the lord's mansion directly."

"rule?"

Smoger sneered:
"How many times in the past have we watched pirates escape and cause new unrest in the next place just because of these meaningless things?"

"These old-fashioned things should have been burned down long ago. Catching pirates and killing evil is the rule!"

"Come with me!"

"Yes!"

……

at the same time.

In the lord's mansion.

When the navy led by Tashigi entered the port, Crow ordered his subordinates to retreat to the lord's mansion in an organized manner. Now, most of the people in Gawain's pirate group have gathered here.

The doctor in the lord's mansion was treating everyone's wounds.

The wounds on his body were minor matters; the complex expressions in everyone's eyes seemed more real.

"I didn't expect that our mission this time was not to take advantage of the opportunity to rob or escape, but to rescue people."

A pirate who originally belonged to Crowe took out a candy that had already been deformed from his arms, with a somewhat sad expression.

"When I rescued that girl from the rubble, the look on her face is something I will never forget."

"Ah, even though we didn't attack the nearby towns when we followed Captain Gawain, those people looked at us with fear on their faces."

"You don't know, that old lady even held my hand and said she wanted to marry her daughter to me, this is really..."

"How can she marry a pirate?"

"Hahahaha~"

……

As they talked about what they had seen and heard today, they felt their hearts gradually being filled with something they had never felt before. As they spoke, tears welled up in the corners of their eyes.

Clo watched coldly, muttering:

"This style doesn't look like a pirate~"

“But they are content aren’t they?”

Gaza looked at the pirates in navy uniforms and smiled:
"After all, he is Mr. Gawain's subordinate. He is different from other pirates. Even though he has lost his knighthood, he still adheres to the spirit of chivalry."

"Ah."

Cloe didn't comment, but when he mentioned Gawain, he couldn't help but show some worry on his face:
"The battle in the port has stopped for a long time. Don't die in such a place..."

boom!
The door of the lord's mansion was pushed open, and Gawain, carrying Ajin, appeared in front of everyone.

"Are you so eager to inherit my Ant Flower... Pah, are you so eager to inherit my position?"
