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

Chapter 68 Flash Step

Chapter 68 Flash Step
a few days later.

East China Sea, Pala Island.

It was almost dusk, the setting sun was shining obliquely, and the red glow made the whole harbor sparkle.

The busy people came and went, and all of them had smiles on their faces that were not like those of pirates, because this period of time was the most comfortable time they had ever had since they went to sea.

Some people even cultivated fields on the land of Pala Island and planted wheat, vegetables and fruits.

Relaxed, pure and comfortable.

There is no need to run around for survival, compete with colleagues for food on the edge of a knife, or face the fearful eyes of civilians.

"This kind of life can only be lived by following Captain Gawain."

A pirate was leaning against the fence of the port, a cigarette in his mouth, chatting casually with his companions beside him.

"Who says it's not?"

"I have had five captains. Those who could be called my friends either died in battle or at the hands of the captains. Only Captain Gawain was different. He cared about the lives of people like us."

talking.

The pirate suddenly raised his head and looked at the sea level in the distance.

Then a familiar pirate flag slowly emerged, and then a small sailboat gradually merged into the port.

"Captain Gawain is back!"

The sound fell to the ground.

At this moment, the pirates who were still in the port flocked in to greet their most respected captain.

……

on the deck.

Zoro looked up at the port, and his eyes were instantly attracted by the smiles on everyone's faces.

He can naturally distinguish what is true and what is false.

Different from those smiles that were deliberately faked to please the captain, the smiles on the faces of the pirates in the port at this moment were genuine.

And there was only one person on the boat who could make them show such expressions.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah~"

Zoro looked back at Gawain, his mouth slightly curled:

"It seems I'm on a pretty good ship."

Nami glanced at him, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth, revealing an expression of tolerance:

"Isn't it natural for Gawain to have such prestige?"

"You still have a lot to learn, newbie with green algae hair~"

Hearing Nami's deliberate emphasis on the word "newcomer", Zoro's forehead veins throbbed;

"You just joined the group a few days earlier than me, so are you considered a senior?"

"A few days earlier is still early!"

Nami made a face at him.

Zoro's face froze, and he felt more and more that women were creatures that would only affect his practice of swordsmanship.

"You really make me angry!"

Just as Nami was about to continue speaking, she felt a warm hand on her head, rubbing it hard.

The same is true for Sauron on the other side.

Stopping the two from arguing, Gawain said calmly:

"All right."

"Now let's go home!"

The ship dropped anchor in the port, and after it stopped steadily, the gangway was lowered.

Gawain and his companions, surrounded by a group of pirates, slowly walked to the back of the port.

Today, the cat brothers are still patrolling near Raven Harbor, fighting off pirates roaming the nearby waters. Only Zangao remains guarding the port.

After Gao Wen briefly understood the situation, he no longer paid attention to it and directly ordered people to light a fire in the center of the harbor.

As a banquet was held, Nami Zoro, who was originally a little unfamiliar, gradually became familiar with everyone.

……

The next day.

Gao Wen sat at his desk, thinking about his next move.

To enter the Grand Line, the first priority is shipbuilding.

With the billions of berries obtained from Arlong, this matter can build a pirate ship capable of sailing in the New World.

After all, even the total cost of the Thousand Sunshine, which has a variety of functions, is only 200 million, excluding the private goods and keel that Franky brought in.

I build a ship at ten times the price and still fail?

Gao Wen sneered in his heart. The only thing he was worried about was the technical level of the shipwright, and he could ask Gaza for help with that.

She is a noble from the East China Sea and manages a port. Even if the shipbuilders under her are not as good as Franky's, they should be of a certain level.

Another thing is to recruit Sanji, the gold-level potential seed from the East China Sea before entering the Grand Line.

However, he was still an apprentice at the offshore restaurant Bharati at the time, and his whereabouts were unknown.

I heard that he arrived at Raven Harbor a few days ago, but it seemed that he had some conflicts with Gaza and left the next day.

"We can only let the cat brothers pay attention to this matter first."

"Once we find it, we can just track it, but it will take some time to locate it."

"I can also take this opportunity to gain some experience from Zoro and the others and see if I can raise my rating to Silver before entering the Grand Line."

"Bronze-level combat power is safe in the East China Sea, but it's still a little lacking when it comes to the Grand Line."

"Besides, Armament Haki..."

When mentioning Armament Haki, Gawain frowned slightly.

this time.

As he explored on his own, he had gradually figured out some of the tricks, but he always felt that he was missing something that was the most crucial.

"Everyone has domineering aura in their body, but ordinary people may not be able to awaken it even if they spend their entire lives. But how should we do this step..."

"I have tried everything I could. The only thing I haven't tried is fighting."

"A battle in which we are evenly matched, or even in which my opponent is much stronger than me!"

"But there are no such opponents in the East China Sea right now. Do we have to wait until the Grand Line?"

Gao Wen sighed, and when he turned around and saw the scene outside the window, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the port.

Three figures holding barbells have already started their practice for the day, and have even attracted a large number of followers.

Everyone worked out under the scorching sun, sweating and enjoying the pleasure of their bodies becoming gradually stronger.

A slight smile appeared on Gawain's lips.

"This is the qualified cultivation of a leek~"

talking.

Gao Wen poured himself a cup of coffee, the sour taste mixed with the aroma of milk.

"Whoo~"

"Sin is sin!"

Gawain let out a sigh of relief.

I finally understand why the boss likes to let employees work overtime so much.

How can I describe the feeling of watching others working hard for me? !

That’s right, the life of a capitalist is so simple and unpretentious!
Clo, who had already awakened his Observation Haki, naturally noticed that Gao Wen was looking at him. Feeling his body gradually getting hot, Clo sneered in his heart:
"That bastard Gawain is so lazy, it won't be long before I become the captain!"

……

Time flies and more than a month has passed.

The cat brothers were still searching aimlessly for the sea restaurant Barati, but they were always one step behind, and they still had to patrol near Raven Harbor.

Gaza had already helped Gawain contact the shipyard, and had produced a design drawing based on Gawain's budget. They could start construction as soon as the keel wood arrived.

into the night.

The sea breeze blows into the cabin.

The system prompt sounded again in Gao Wen's ears.

"Physical experience +246!"

"Swordsmanship experience +411!"

"Killing experience +51"

"Observation Haki experience +82!"

……

With another wave of experience coming in, Gao Wen's long-awaited skill of scooping up the dead finally saw a breakthrough.

杓死-LV-4：1587/1600——>杓死-LV-5：38/2500
next moment.

The familiar prompt sound appeared in Gawain's mind again. The level 5 Shao Si brought Gawain a new branch of ability.

The difference is that this time there is only one branch.
