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

Chapter 451 The Death of Kaido
Roar!
All the survivors' attention was drawn to the dragon's roar, and they couldn't help but look up in Camelot's direction.

"That is……"

"what?"

Kidd's mouth was dry. Even from hundreds of miles away, he could see the blue orb of light hanging high in the sky, like a second sun!

No, that sphere of light was not blue, but crimson.

The reason it appears blue is because the land of Britannias, and even the distant sea, is gradually tinged with a pale blue halo, which is converging towards the sphere of light above Camelot!
Stunning and magnificent!

"The sun?!"

Straw Hat, now awake, gazed into the distance with drooping eyelids, stunned by the sphere of light, speechless for a moment.

His previously listless pupils suddenly widened:

"So beautiful!"

"wrong!"

Kidd suddenly spoke up, denying the straw hat's judgment, simply because the distant orb of light had changed again.

A pair of wings that enveloped its body unfolded, its long, coiled tail swayed slowly, and its ferocious dragon head roared to the sky, as if proclaiming the birth of a god.

This posture was all too familiar to the people present.

Just minutes ago, that figure was still in the arena of the round table, crushing them one by one. That overwhelming power was enough to be everyone's nightmare!
But he should have died from the Heavenly King's attack!

What's even more bizarre is that although Gawain in his Crimson Dragon form has reached an astonishing 300 meters in length, this place is hundreds of kilometers away from Camelot.

At such a distance, coupled with the refraction of light by the air, it is simply impossible for human eyesight to see an object 300 meters away.

But now, Gawain's body is right there in front of everyone.

This can only mean that the Red Dragon has become even larger!
It's bigger than I imagined!

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Kidd could hardly believe what he was seeing.

If Gawain's overwhelming power was enough to make him fearful, terrified, and even unable to muster the will to resist...

The scene before him completely shattered the worldview he had formed over the past twenty years!
"Even weapons powerful enough to destroy the world couldn't kill this monster?!"

"Even the most powerful humans have their limits!"

"If the throne on the high seas is occupied by such a being, then what is the point of our voyages?!"

"After overcoming countless hardships to reach the finish line, are we only to face a predetermined defeat?!"

"Do not make jokes!"

Kidd loses his mind, voicing questions to the world, but is destined to receive no answers.

The attention of everyone present was focused on the crimson dragon high in the sky in the distance, its majesty, its divinity, its aura that surpassed everything...

"Inhuman!"

Redfield murmured softly, his eyes filled with unprecedented shock and fervor.

Redfield had absolute confidence in his Observation Haki.

Looking at the entire ocean, even going back hundreds of years, it is in a class of its own.

Therefore, Redfield was able to see more than others.

Even without knowing the specific reason, he could sense that Gawain was undergoing a transformation, a transformation that fundamentally differentiated him from humans.

Gawain's aura was rising at an exaggerated speed!

In just a few breaths, it had reached a point that Redfield couldn't understand!
"Gawain is evolving, evolving towards another dimension of existence, an existence worthy of being called a god!"

"Does God truly exist in this world?!"

Barrett was well aware that the "god" Redfield spoke of was not a title bestowed upon them by arrogance, like the Celestial Dragons.

Rather, they are gods in the true sense of the word, beings who are above humanity!

I don't know if there is a God, but...

Barrett withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Camelot in the distance, and slowly spoke:

"The captain divided all the strongmen on the sea into six ranks."

"From the low-level Iron and Bronze, to the Silver with bounties of over 100 million, to the Gold-level combat power with the Seven Warlords of the Sea and elite Vice Admirals of the Marine Headquarters as benchmarks, and even the higher-level legends represented by the Four Emperors and Admirals."

"Although these five classes differ in strength and weakness, they are ultimately within the realm of human beings."

After a quick calculation, Redfield realized he should be considered a legendary figure. Looking at the crimson dragon high in the sky, he couldn't help but ask:
"Where's Gawain?!"

"The captain was strong before, but he was still considered legendary overall. But now..."

Barrett gazed at Gawain, who shone almost like a second sun, hundreds of kilometers away, his eyes burning with fervor.

"I don't know either."

"This martial arts tournament has two objectives."

"One of them is what the captain did after defeating everyone in the finals of the World Martial Arts Tournament, conquering all the contestants with his absolute strength."

Barrett turned to look at Redfield.

As mentioned before, Barrett already considered Redfield as one of his own, which is why he was willing to tell Redfield these secrets.

Demonstrating Britannias' strength was part of the martial arts tournament plan!
Redfield nodded and pressed on:

"And the second one?!"

Barrett continued:

"The captain wants to use the martial arts tournament to cultivate an opponent who can rival him, and in the final battle, step into the sixth-tier mythical realm!"

"myth……"

Redfield pondered those two words repeatedly, and when he looked back at the crimson dragon hanging high in the sky, its form filling the sky, his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

If there truly are gods in this world, they must be just like Gawain in his current state!
At that moment, Redfield felt both amazement and frustration.

I am amazed by Gao Wen's unprecedented talent, which he is unlikely to have again, and his courage to risk everything.

Furthermore, because all eight of them suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Gawain, Gawain had to rely on the intimidation of ancient weapons to take that step, which made him feel frustrated.

Gao Wen is destined to be the pioneer of the next era!
If Redfield previously thought it was merely a possibility, now it's no longer a possibility, but an inevitable trend.

The World Government may have some hidden trump card, or there may be powerful figures yet to be revealed, or even some monsters that have lived for eight hundred years. They are definitely no match for Gawain!
Even relying solely on his own strength, Gawain was capable of conquering the entire world!

"This is the man the sea has chosen!"

"The ocean's choice?"

A slightly cold voice came from behind.

Redfield turned his head and saw Crowe and his group who had rushed over after escaping.

Arkin, Beville, Fujitora, and Sanji, who had just regained consciousness, were all included in this group.

Long before the finals of the World Martial Arts Tournament began, Kuro had already anticipated that the World Government might take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack.

It was at that time that Crow instructed Beville to leave a contingency plan, using a teleportation portal to transfer everyone who was still in the city when the Heavenly King attacked to this location.

Klow glanced at Redfield and said indifferently:
"It wasn't the times that chose Gawain, but rather that Gawain was destined to conquer the sea!"

"makes sense."

Redfield nodded, completely agreeing with what Crow had said.

His gaze fell on the group of Knights of the Round Table behind Crow.

While it wasn't true, as he initially suspected, that every member of the Knights of the Round Table possessed legendary combat power, their strengths were roughly equal. Even Cavendish, whose combat power was slightly weaker, would still be the second-in-command in a Yonko-level pirate crew, second only to the leader.

more importantly.

He spotted the CP organization among the Knights of the Round Table.

Lucci, dressed in a white suit, wearing a mask, and with his signature white dove perched on his shoulder, was prominently among them.

Although Lucci did not reveal anything, his position spoke volumes.

This only proves that Gawain's influence had already extended into the World Government long ago, specifically into CP0, which held the title of "Shield of the Celestial Dragons."

Judging from Lucci's attire, he holds a fairly high position within the CP organization.

Such a scheme...

Redfield's premonition grew stronger, his fingers nervously stroking his sword, and he could even hear his own heartbeat.

hiss--!
Redfield took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and turned his attention to the high temperature in the distance.

at the same time.

The Knights of the Round Table present also turned their gazes to Gawain in the distance!
"Did Gawain... succeed?!"

Even knowing the outcome, Kro still couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he recalled Gawain's almost insane plan.

One against eight, even with the possibility that the World Government might take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack.

Even with combat power equivalent to Gawain's, capable of suppressing the combined forces of the top eight in the World Martial Arts Tournament, facing the Heavenly King's two consecutive attacks, only a crushing defeat awaited him!

Such a situation would be a death sentence for anyone in that position.

But Gawain succeeded!
They could even take this opportunity to go a step further and truly step into the mythical realm envisioned by Gawain!
At the same time, a brand new question also arose in everyone's mind.

"How powerful could a mythical creature be?!"

Sanji silently lit a cigarette. The red light shone, and white smoke rose, but it couldn't hide the gleam in his eyes.

A legend is enough to command the winds and rains on this sea, to be taken seriously by the World Government, and to be qualified to compete with the Four Emperors and other top powerhouses for the ultimate throne!

A further step in the mythology will inevitably transcend the world!

"Perhaps... one can achieve immortality?!"

Luo carried the wailing ghost on his shoulder, his tone somewhat mocking, but no one else's voice came from around him.

When he looked back, he realized that everyone was actually thinking about what he had said.

"This……"

Luo paused for a moment, and only realized it when he looked at Gao Wen again.

Given Gawain's original level, if he could truly advance further, achieving immortality wouldn't seem impossible.

Barrett, sitting to the side, felt a surge of excitement.

Gawain, who was originally at the pinnacle of legend, was already able to suppress the combined forces of the top eight in the world's number one martial arts tournament.

How powerful will Gawain become once he steps into the realm of mythology?
Curiosity aside, even Barrett had no desire to fight Gawain at this moment.

A match is only meaningful when you can see a chance to win, and when the strength of your opponent is still within your comprehension.

Otherwise, it would just be a masochistic act. Barrett doesn't have that kind of fetish, nor do any of the people present.

At this moment, even the most arrogant S-Dragon chose to shut up.

After a moment of silence, he staggered to his feet and prepared to leave, but his body suddenly stopped.

Stussy appeared beside him without him noticing, pressing a lipstick firmly against his neck.

"Seastone?!"

The feeling of weakness in his body made S-Dragon realize that he had been ambushed.

But what truly surprised him was Stussy's betrayal!

"You're also one of Knight Gawain's men?!"

"impossible!"

"You're just like me, nothing more than a cyborg created by Father... Vegapunk!"

Stussy smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned, and said:

“I’m sorry, you’re too dangerous. You should stay in Britannias with me.”

"Ah……"

S-Dragon chuckled self-deprecatingly:
"With that monster in Britannias, your words sound more like a sarcastic remark."

"Shh~!"

Stussy put his finger to his lips to make a shushing gesture, then whispered in S-Dragon's ear:
"You inherited that man's bloodline!"

"The power hidden within you that money, if awakened, might give you the potential to reach his level."

"Moreover, you are different from other seraphim; the most important thing for a human being was born in your body."

"self."

S-Long paused slightly, his tense body slowly relaxing, and couldn't help but ask:
"Who exactly is standing behind you?!"

"Don't you want to see the man who created you, the man you should call your father?!"

Stussy Road:

"He is in Britannias, and he has been waiting for your birth."

……

……

……

Camelot.

The earth turned crimson, everything melted, vegetation turned to ash, and water evaporated completely.

At this moment, all that flows below is scalding lava!
The red dragon stretched out its body, let out a long roar, and then lowered its eyes to look at its palm.

All that could be seen was Kaido, who was almost burned to a crisp.

This man, known as the world's strongest creature, commands the winds and rains of the New World, his name resounding throughout the seas.

Ultimately, it was no match for the ancient weapon and died on the spot with just one blow.

"Pity."

Gawain sighed, waved his hand, and threw the corpse in his hand into the lava below, where it was instantly swallowed up.

until now.

Gao Wencai had the energy to focus on his own changes.

The situation just now was extremely dangerous!

With the power of the Heavenly King, everything within tens or even hundreds of kilometers of Camelot would be vaporized.

The Red Dragon's ability to mobilize underground energy will also be greatly limited. In other words, if Gawain had his original combat strength, he would have been killed in an instant!

Fortunately.

The Heavenly King is both a crisis and a battle based on!
At the same moment that the Heavenly King descended, Gawain heard a familiar system notification in his mind!
"In the face of life and death, one glimpses the hidden leaf, and potential is amplified."

"Legend → Myth!"

"Awakening to a new badge: God among men!"
