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

Chapter 77 Letter

The chefs at Barati's restaurant at sea completely lost control of their expressions. They were stunned for several seconds before someone shouted in fear:
"run!"

Then the boat that had just stopped started again. Paddy, who was dissatisfied with the slow speed, even picked up a shovel and sat on the edge of the deck and slid wildly.

Because only in this way can I stop myself from thinking about what just happened.

The people who had originally wanted to watch the outcome of the battle retreated directly into the restaurant, huddled together with pale faces, unable to utter a word for a while.

Zoro, who had just come to his senses, looked at the two men in the field. For a moment, he felt an indescribable sense of frustration, but he was only depressed for a moment before he rekindled his fighting spirit:
"Even Captain Gawain has such a powerful fighting ability hidden?"

"It seems that the originally scheduled time for challenging him will have to be moved back. Five years? No, no, no, eight years... ten years to be safe!"

"Just ten years!"

Zoro gritted his teeth and said this, but his eyes suddenly turned red.

It was not until then that he remembered that Gawain had no intention of returning alive from the very beginning.

"asshole!"

"How can I become number one in the world if you die!"

……

……

……

He was going to kill me with this knife!

The moment Gao Wen had this thought, there was no longer a glimmer of hope in his mind.

He had originally thought that whether Hawkeye would admire him as much as he admired Zoro, and therefore choose to show mercy, after all, this was a script that had already happened.

Now it seems that there is a fundamental difference between his view of himself and Zoro's.

"This is going to be really fun~"

The moment he realized this, Gawain slowly closed his eyes, and his slightly trembling body gradually calmed down.

His chest rose and fell, his breathing steady.

He just felt that the world around him became quiet at this moment, and the only sound he could hear was Guan Shizheng's breathing.

Upon seeing this, Hawkeye immediately put down the knife in his hand and looked at the young man in front of him with indescribable admiration in his eyes.

"Did you realize something?"

"Interesting. It looks like I won't be too lonely in the next few years, or even a dozen years."

"Of course the premise is that you can survive!"

After counting the breaths.

Gao Wen suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze was like a torch and fire, and he said lightly:
"What is the essence of domineering?"

Hawkeye smiled slightly and said calmly:
"It's not a good question to ask your opponent in the middle of a fight."

"However, as a reward for pleasing me, I don't mind giving you my answer."

"When it comes to domineering, some people say it's will, some say it's belief, some say it's ambition, some say it's courage, but in my opinion, it's just one word."

"letter!"

"Or let me put it more bluntly."

"Do you think you can hit me with your next blow? Do you think you can leave here alive? Do you believe that the oath you once made will come true?!"

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment.

Only then did he recall that he had found a way out for himself when he first tried to practice Armament Haki.

If you cannot awaken on your own, you must rely on your companions.

If the East China Sea doesn’t work, then go to the Grand Line, to the New World.

But as Hawkeye said, this kind of thing that is born from belief, courage, will, or faith, is destined to be difficult to achieve the moment you hesitate.

Panels and skills can be accumulated by the system, but the lack of fighting spirit cannot.

"I see!"

Gawain suddenly tightened his grip on Guanze Zhengzong in his hand, but the next moment he heard Hawkeye's voice in his ears:
"Now do you believe you can survive this blow from me?!"

"letter!"

An extremely bright light suddenly burst out from Gawain's eyes.

In contrast, a certain power hidden in the body is truly awakened at this moment.

A layer of black aura visible to the naked eye flowed along his arm, all the way up and wrapped around the Guanze Masamune in Gawain's hand, dyeing the silver-white blade black.

This was the armed color domineering that he had been seeking but could not obtain before!
at the same time.

A familiar system prompt sounded in Gao Wen's mind:
"Awakening Armament Haki! Current level - LV-1!"

……

Gao Wen was slightly stunned and thought to himself:

"Isn't it LV-0 like Observation Haki? Is it because I realized it on my own?"

"Forget it, let's not dwell on these little issues. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to verify them in the future." "Anyway..."

Gawain looked up at Hawkeye:

"Now we start round two!"

"amazing!"

In Hawkeye's hand, the black knife hummed.

But his eyes were focused on the Guanze Masamune in Gawain's hand, which had turned pitch black.

In his opinion.

The armed color domineering aura in Gawain's hand was still weak at this moment, like a candle flame, which would be extinguished by a breeze.

It is even further away from being able to refine Guan Ze Zheng Zong into a black sword.

But Gawain himself is glowing!

The glory that is enough to reach the top!
this moment.

Hawkeye even felt reluctant to kill Gawain here and there, but the man's will no longer allowed him to do so.

“This is my respect for you!”

"Strong!"

Landed with Hawkeye's voice.

The sun in the distance completely sank below the horizon. A bright moon rose, casting silver light from the sky. The sea surface was sparkling, as if countless pieces of silver were suspended.

His figure also moved in the next moment.

Dark man, dark knife.

Hawkeye stepped on the deck beneath their feet and cracked it. The black knife, which had been thirsty for a long time, also whizzed away.

Even though the extremely sharp blade had not yet come close, it made Gawain feel a stinging pain on his skin, and there was even a bloodstain on the skin under his clothes.

But there was no trace of fear in his eyes.

It was because Gao Wen had an epiphany at this moment.

As someone who carries the system, what I lack is not the means to reach the top, but the awareness and belief to reach the top.

After all, the domineering aura born out of belief, especially the one in a million domineering color, is another version of the answer besides the mythical beast species!
Guan Shi Zheng Zong, who felt Gawain's will, also trembled at this moment, responding to Gawain's will.

Then, the two pitch-black knives met head-on in the air for the first time tonight.

Blade and blade.

Strength and force.

Shake it together...

Ding!
The sharp collision sound was accompanied by a circle of tangible shock waves, which pushed away the surrounding sea water. The deck under the feet of the two men also exploded directly because it could not withstand the terrifying force.

The last thing Gawain saw was a black knife slashing towards his neck...

When I lost my mind.

Gao Wen could vaguely hear the system's increasingly blurred prompt tone:

"Understand your true self! Temper your will! Potential..."

……

The weather at sea is always changeable.

Before the sun sets, the sky is still clear, and now the sea breeze has a hint of coolness.

In just a few breaths.

A layer of dark clouds as thick as lead gathered in the sky. Thunder roared, lightning flashed, and raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky.

It hit the floating pieces of deck on the sea, sending scarlet blood into the sea, attracting bloodthirsty sharks, but they were afraid of the man with eagle-like eyes and did not dare to approach.

“This really leaves me with a difficult problem.”

Hawkeye looked down at the young man who fell in front of him, letting the blood flow out from the hideous wound on his chest. After hesitating for a while, he put the blade against the young man's neck.

But in the end, he didn't have the heart to kill him.

"Forget it, let someone else teach you this last lesson."

"Sometimes, in some battles, you have to win even if your opponent is much stronger than you!"

"Hopefully, you won't lose too much by then."

After saying this, Hawkeye turned around and was about to leave, but his steps suddenly stopped at this moment.

laugh!
A burst of blood mist suddenly burst out from Hawkeye's shoulder.

He turned his head and noticed.

The clothes on her shoulders had been torn at some point, and an obvious scar on her exposed skin was extremely glaring at this moment.
