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

Chapter 42 All-round improvement

As for the pitiful 8 points of swordsmanship experience, Gao Wen could understand it.

After all, there is almost no one in the pirate group who is good at using a sword except him.

The potential of those ordinary pirates has been basically tapped to the limit, and the experience points they can provide can only be said to be better than nothing.

Gao Wen narrowed his eyes slightly:

"After recruiting Nami, the next step would be Zoro."

"But compared to the others, Zoro's mind is undoubtedly much stronger. It is impossible to get such a person on board by relying solely on violence."

"However, meals must be eaten one step at a time, and the road must be walked one step at a time."

"First do the things in front of you well and quickly improve your own strength. This is the hard truth."

After that, the light in Gawain's room was turned off.

……

One month later.

The Gawain Pirates entered a long period of recuperation.

The previous series of battles had already left many people seriously injured. Even with the logistical support from Raven Harbor, many wounded still did not survive and died from wound infection or other complications.

Although everyone was a little sad, they were used to this kind of thing.

The life of a pirate is far from being as beautiful as shown in the original work. Death, fighting, and endless sailing are the norm.

but.

At this stage, those who survived are basically no longer in serious condition and will be able to recover after recuperating for a period of time.

It can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.

After witnessing more and more deaths, Gawain gradually got used to this kind of life.

into the night.

Gawain's room was brightly lit, and the sea breeze blew in from the window, ruffling Gawain's hair.

During this period, under the influence of the two kings, Crow and Akin, most of the people in the pirate group began almost rigorous training.

One of them was staring at the area below Gawain's buttocks, while the other was still brooding over his previous defeat at the hands of Clo.

They all put in their best efforts and risked their lives.

After recovering from their injuries, their strengths have greatly improved, and Gawain has reaped the benefits, gaining a large amount of experience points every day.

now.

Gao Wen sat at the desk, carefully wiping the Guanshi Zhengzong in his hand.

During this month, although he still has not reached the threshold of Armament Haki, he and Guanze Masamune have become more familiar with each other.

Looking at the knife again at this moment, Gao Wen actually felt a blood connection with it.

Sudden.

A familiar system prompt sounded in Gao Wen's mind:
"Physical experience +133!"

"Swordsmanship experience +6!"

"Killing experience +32"

"Observation Haki experience +54!"

Compared to half a month ago, all items except swordsmanship have seen significant increases.

With a large amount of experience pouring into his body, Gawain's physique and observation Haki, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally ushered in the moment of transformation.

体魄-LV-6：2987/3000——>体魄-LV-7：120/5000
见闻色霸气-LV-1：998/1000——>见闻色霸气-LV-2：52/2000
……

Along with the successive upgrades of the two, there are changes in the body.

A familiar warm current surged out from the heart, and along with the blood reached every part of his body, nourishing every cell in Gawain's body, pushing his already strong physical ability to a higher peak.

His skin turned visibly red, even emitting bursts of hot steam, and a large amount of impurities were discharged from his body through his pores.

Despite this frightening change, Gawain did not feel any discomfort. He only felt his body becoming lighter and more coordinated.

After counting the breaths.

The changes in his body gradually subsided, and the scorching steam in the room was gradually blown away by the sea breeze. "Huh~!"

Gawain opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of hot air, then took off his leather armor, revealing his muscular upper body.

His size hadn't changed much.

He was even thinner than before, and had basically returned to his body shape just after waking up.

But it could feel that the basic capabilities of this body had been raised again.

Strength, physique, agility.

The three developed in a balanced manner under the constraints of the balance term to ensure that every time Gawain improved, he could reach the most ideal state of this body and could perfectly exert every bit of the body's strength.

Feeling the changes in his body, Gawain couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart:
"At level seven, the strength, stamina, and agility of the three dimensions have increased by nearly 40% compared to level six, and have almost doubled compared to level five!"

"If I were to fight Smoger again at this time..."

Gawain suddenly clenched his fists, with a confident light in his eyes:
"He won't have the chance to throw the Seastone Tente into the sea."

"And the observation Haki also successfully broke through to level two."

"Try it."

talking.

Gawain activated his Observation Haki, and then a strange feeling independent of his five senses appeared in his mind.

The wind in the air, the waves on the sea, the chirping of insects in the corner, the snoring of the pirate downstairs...

At this moment, everything came to Gao Wen's mind.

The improvement of perception ability by Observation Haki becomes more and more abnormal as the skill level increases.

At this moment, Gao Wen was even looking forward to whether he would be able to awaken the ability to predict the future in a short period of time, or other derivative abilities, when he upgraded this ability to level 5.

next moment.

Gawain unsheathed the Guanze Zhengzong in his hand, and a silver-white flying blade flew out of his hand, crossing a distance of hundreds of meters and cutting a shark that jumped up from the center of the harbor in half.

laugh!
Blood splattered, dyeing the sea red.

The pirate in charge of night watch rubbed his eyes. If there was no shark corpse still floating on the water, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

He wanted to sound the alarm, but when he saw the location where the knife light was just emitted, he put down the horn in his hand.

"I'm so stupid. Who else but the captain could do such a thing?"

"But has the Captain become stronger in such a short time?"

He turned his head to look at the attic in the distance, only to find that the windows there had already been closed, as if what he had just done was just an insignificant thing.

"This is truly... a monster!"

……

inside the room.

Gao Wen slowly put Guan Shi Zheng Zong into the scabbard, and recalled his sharp perception just now, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"He can detect any attacking intent from hundreds of meters away. No wonder that guy Clo is so arrogant after awakening his Observation Haki."

"Observation Haki is indeed consistent with what I inferred. It can make up for the defects of Shao Si. Cloe can even use it to push Shao Si's speed to a higher peak."

“It’s just the same thing, but I can do it even better.”

Gao Wen smiled slightly and opened the system panel. The familiar light blue screen appeared before his eyes:

During this month, not only did his physical strength and observation Haki improve rapidly, but even the Death Ladle he learned from Cloe also increased by two levels, directly to LV-3.
