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

Chapter 62 He Didn’t Want to Win

talking.

Zoro gripped the sword tightly in his hand, the fire in his eyes burned more vigorously, but suddenly Gawain's teasing voice came to his ears.

"you are way behind!"

The next moment a hand pressed on Zoro's chest.

Give it a gentle push.

Zoro, who had already reached the edge of the deck, lost his balance, and fell into the sea while dancing with the two swords in his hands.

thump!
A splash of water rose from the sea.

"Hahahaha~"

Nami couldn't help but let out a bell-like laugh, and she swiftly threw a lifebuoy down from the deck.

"asshole!"

Zoro clung to the lifebuoy, soaking wet. He looked at Gawain with a smile on his face on the deck, and gritted his teeth in anger:
"You wait!"

"Sooner or later I will throw you into the sea!"

Gao Wen's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly:

"If you say so, then I have to have some fun in advance, otherwise I will be sorry for my future self."

"Although I never thought you could defeat me."

How about some fun in advance?
Zoro was stunned and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

……

A few minutes later.

Zoro climbed onto the boat with difficulty, walked towards Gawain excitedly, and was about to continue the battle, but suddenly he felt his feet go weak.

When he looked down, he discovered that the wounds on his chest and abdomen had split open at some point. The blood soaked the bandages, and under the stimulation of the sea water, he grimaced in pain.

"If you are injured, don't try to be stubborn. Heal your wound first."

Gawain's voice came from the deck:
"It will take about ten days from here to my base. With your physical condition, you will recover in three days at most. It won't be too late to come back then."

"I'm waiting for you!"

"Humph!"

Zoro's mouth twitched in pain, but he also knew that what Gawain said was his best choice right now.

"What an arrogant fellow!"

He slowly put the knife back into the scabbard, and then he felt dizzy and fell on his back.

The last thing I heard was Johnny and Joseph's screams...

The two men stepped forward and carefully examined Zoro's wounds. After confirming that the latter was only weak due to not eating for a few days, they felt relieved.

Joseph turned and looked at Gawain with a pleading look:
"Mr. Gawain, look..."

A few days together.

They had already seen clearly that the Gawain in front of them was completely different from the other pirates.

He does not have that kind of cruel style, and his whole demeanor is quite consistent with his nickname, the Knight.

As a result, the initial panic and anxiety gradually disappeared.

"Let's take care of this guy first... Forget it, let the ship's doctor rebandage it, otherwise it will be troublesome if the wound gets infected."

"Thank you!"

Joseph thanked.

Gawain waved his hand and asked the two men to carry Zoro into the cabin.

Clo brushed past the two men, walked onto the deck, and stood side by side with Gawain.

He looked at the wound on Zoro's body, and noticed the undisguised admiration in Gawain's eyes, and curled his lips and said:
"Do you think so highly of that little brat?"

Gawain didn't even raise his eyelids and said calmly:

"At least for now, his potential is the strongest on our ship, even better than mine."

"Do you believe?"

"As long as he is guided correctly, within a few years, he will be able to rule over you."

Chloe rolled his eyes at him.

He wanted to open his mouth to refute directly, but his eyes caught Nami who had just laid back in the chair and was drinking orange juice comfortably.

So he subconsciously closed his mouth.

After all, the past events are still vivid in my mind. It took a month to wash all the socks of my companions. How miserable can it be?
Thinking about this now, Cloe even subconsciously shrugged his nose, and after confirming that there was no smell on his body, he let out a sigh of relief. Then he turned to look at Gawain and said:
"It's lucky for the East China Sea to produce a freak like Nami who goes beyond common sense once every ten years. Do you expect to meet one every day?"

Gao Wen was stunned and said jokingly:
"Do you want to wash your socks again?"

"roll!"

When his dark history was exposed, Cloe was immediately embarrassed and turned around and left with a sullen face.

Before entering the cabin.

Clo turned to Gawain and said:

"Watch it!"

"With your lazy attitude now, it won't be long before I surpass you!"

boom!
After Cloe finished speaking, he slammed the cabin door shut and walked towards the training room, only to find that Ajin had already been inside, looking at him provocatively.

Ok?
This look seems familiar, as if I have seen it in the mirror.

Clo's heart skipped a beat.

……

Gawain on the deck looked at Clo's back and touched his nose with his hand.

Laugh without saying a word.

During this period, through fighting and training, Clo and Ajin contributed a lot of experience to him.

Although it will still take some time to upgrade, who doesn’t like the feeling of watching the experience bar grow longer?

I just like energetic young people like you!

And with Nami joining the team, in just a few days, Gawain's navigation skills have been upgraded by one level, reaching the level of LV-2.

Far beyond the capabilities of a certain ambitious vice-captain.

……

After three days of rest, Zoro's wounds had completely healed. It was obvious that even in terms of physical ability alone, he was first-rate. After all, this was also a proof of his great potential.

And the first thing he did after recovering was to challenge Gawain.

Instead of taking more effective measures such as sneak attacks or drugging, they chose to attack head-on.

This is his character. If he wants to win, he must win fairly. How can the title of the strongest person won by cheating be resounding throughout heaven?
now.

Everyone on the ship gathered on the deck to watch the battle.

Kuro looked at Zoro and shook his head:
"In just a few days, no matter how fast you progress, there is a limit. Hasn't that kid figured out the gap between himself and Gawain?"

"There is no hope for a frontal assault."

After Ah Jin pondered for a moment, he said calmly:

"Maybe he didn't even want to win this time."

Clo was stunned, then turned around and looked at the field without saying a word.

Gao Wen stood with a knife in his hand, his expression calm.

Zoro was furious.

Zheng!
Three swords were unsheathed at the same time, and Zoro took a stance. The aura emanating from him was visibly stronger than it was a few days ago.

"Wow, that's quite some progress!"

Gao Wen's eyes lit up. Just one defeat could lead to such growth?

but.

After all, it was destined that the man who would take the title of the strongest swordsman from Hawkeye would have such talent, so it was normal!

But Clo on the side was dumbfounded at this moment.

He was the strongest person on the ship except for Gawain, even Akin was a little bit inferior to him.

Naturally, like Gawain, he could see the changes in Zoro.

How much growth has it achieved in just a few days?
No, these freaks really do gather in the East China Sea, right?
wrong!

He turned to look at Gawain, then at Akin and Nami, and finally kept his eyes on Zoro, frowning and saying:

"Once is luck, twice is coincidence, and three times is beyond common sense."

"Gawain seems to have the ability to recognize other people's talents. It's as if he can judge the other person's potential ability just by looking at him?!"

"How?"

"It can't be possible that our world is a comic book and Gawain has read it?"
