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

Chapter 3 Sword Skill Improvement and Branching Abilities

Then Gawain asked the remaining shipwright to hide the ship as a temporary base, while he and his men found an open space on the island and had everyone stand in different areas.

soon.

Gao Wen began to teach everyone the most basic swordsmanship training.

From the initial sword-holding posture, to how to exert force, how to block the enemy's attack, to how to fight more efficiently...

They were holding real swords or wooden sticks in their hands, but they were all extremely focused and even showed unprecedented fanaticism.

I learned every move very seriously.

Their diligence even made Gao Wen wonder if these people were too naive.

But in fact, to these people, what Gawain said was indeed a wise saying, but he himself did not realize it.

However, this does not do him any harm.

Time flies, the sun gradually sets and the moon rises.

However, the crowd did not feel tired, and they were reluctant to put down their swords and sticks until late at night.

"Hey~ Why am I not as tired as I thought after practicing for a whole day?"

"Illusion!"

"No, I feel it too. My physical strength seems to be better than before. If I had done so much exercise before, I would have been too tired to speak. But now, my legs are just a little weak."

"It's amazing!"

"Perhaps our efforts moved the gods?"

"Oh, the gods are sitting in Marijoa. Do you think they will bless you? It would be great if the gold in heaven is not doubled."

……

Everyone chatted at once and then skipped over the topic, simply thinking it was the benefit of their own concentration on spiritual practice.

Gawain knew that this should be the bonus brought by the Captain's Wrath Badge.

Increases physical strength recovery speed by 20%, and is effective even during training.

In other words.

It is equivalent to a BUFF that reduces physical strength loss by 20% during practice, and a BUFF that increases physical strength recovery speed by 20% during rest.

Kill two birds with one stone, double the effect!
But at this moment, Gao Wen's focus was not on the effect of the badge, but on the system panel:
剑术-LV-4：431/800——>剑术-LV-4：453/800
体魄-LV-3：357/400——>体魄-LV-3：384/400
After only one day of training, these pirates increased his swordsmanship experience by 22 points and his physical experience by 27 points.

In other words, a person's one-day practice can only increase a few tenths of experience.

It is almost impossible for an ordinary person to practice swordsmanship to the level of Gawain now without decades of continuous hard work.

In sharp contrast to them are Zoro, Sanji and others.

It only took them two or three years to grow to a level close to the strongest in the world. This was certainly because fighting made people grow faster, but more of it was due to their exaggerated talents.

The gap in talent between people is almost infinitely magnified in this world.

Gawain's current body is obviously not a genius, it is just one level stronger than these ordinary people.

But as long as the system can maintain its current efficiency, after more than a month, these two abilities can at least increase by another 5 to 5 experience points. Swordsmanship will definitely be able to break through to LV, and if you work hard, your physical fitness may also break through to LV.

"But I didn't know how much the LV-5 swordsmanship and physique could improve my combat power."

"According to the system, every five skill levels is a hurdle that will determine my future direction."

Gawain muttered to himself.

At this time, the subordinates on the side handed over some fish and wild fruits picked from the island.

The resources on this island are quite abundant, with wild fruits everywhere and the tubers of many plants being edible directly. Add to that the fish caught from the sea, and it is completely enough for more than a hundred people to practice for a few months.

Gao Wen reached out to take it, picked up the piece of meat and took a bite. The meat was dry, tough and had a fishy smell. It certainly wasn't delicious, but in this environment, there was nothing to complain about.

After all, for these pirates who came from the lower class, these are already rare delicacies, and sufficient protein and carbohydrate supplements are also of great benefit to their practice.

……

Time flies and half a month passes.

During this period, Gao Wen continued to guide his subordinates in their practice, and everyone gradually transitioned from the initial novelty to a peaceful stage, but the growth in these ten days was real.

If they were novices who knew nothing about kendo at the beginning, they are now swordsmanship apprentices with a good foundation.

"This sword in my hand is completely different to me, just like my arm. I feel like I can beat ten of my former selves now!"

"Go ahead and blow it." "It's true that I can feel my own growth, but don't forget that all these changes are brought about by the captain!"

"Yes, after what happened with Lancer, the captain has completely changed and is completely different from before."

"It's not just his personality, but also his attitude towards us. But now this captain is the one who can truly lead us to become stronger!"

……

Gao Wen watched this scene from afar, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

If these people can continue to improve at this speed, even if not everyone has the combat power of an officer or colonel, they will have no problem protecting themselves in the East China Sea with the swords in their hands.

I didn't really deceive them.

After all, in this world, only the strong have the power to stand up and live, while the weak can only crawl on the ground and beg for mercy.

"Captain, my arm is injured and I would like to take two days off."

A pirate wearing a white hat walked up to Gawain with a slightly apologetic look, covering his swollen arm with one hand, with an unwilling expression on his face.

Gawain had some impression of this man. His name was Jamila. He came aboard half a year ago and was one of the few honest people on the ship. So he didn't make too many requests. He just reached out and patted him on the shoulder:

"Take a few days' rest first. Don't let your impulsiveness leave you with permanent scars."

"Ah."

Jamila nodded gratefully, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, and then she turned and walked towards the cabin.

Looking at Jamila's figure, Gawain frowned.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

He saw a pendant shaped like a seagull on Jamila's chest.

Gao Wen shook his head, turned around, found a quiet place, and opened the system panel again.

In the past half month, his physical fitness has been successfully upgraded to LV4, and the changes brought about are enormous.

Speed ​​and strength increased by at least 30%, endurance and physical strength increased by nearly 50%, and even bone and muscle density increased significantly.

But his body shape has not changed much. He is still a well-proportioned man over two meters tall. He looks thin when he is dressed and has muscles when he is undressed.

Not only have his injuries healed, but his ability to withstand blows has also increased dramatically. If he takes Monka's axe again, he won't be able to withstand it head-on, but he will definitely not be as embarrassed as before.

And today his swordsmanship is about to be upgraded to LV-5.

According to the system, this is a qualitative change that will bring him unexpected improvements.

The group's training for the day ended quickly, and Gao Wen also gained 24 points of sword experience and 30 points of physical experience as he wished.

剑术-LV-4：793/800——>剑术-LV-5：17/1600
next moment.

A completely new feeling appeared in Gawain's hand, as if the sword he was holding in his hand was not a dead object, but a part of his body.

Countless understandings of kendo and various complex sword moves flashed before his eyes, but he completely understood and digested them in an instant and was able to use them immediately in battle.

"This……"

Gawain subconsciously raised his hand and casually slashed the sword across the stone wall in front of him.

laugh!
After a crisp sound, the huge stone wall with a diameter of more than ten meters broke directly in the middle.

The cut surface is neat, like a mirror.

Gao Wen's eyes widened instantly.

"This is amazing!"

"Just one level can bring such an improvement?"

"The swordsmanship of the predecessor LV-4 can also cut through stones, but not to this extent!"

"With this sword technique, my combat power has at least doubled. Coupled with the improvement in my physique, my combat power on paper has at least tripled compared to when I first came here!"

"If I face Monka again, I am confident that I can kill him within three moves!"

Gawain recalled the details of his fight with Monka and finally made this judgment.

But in the next moment, the familiar system prompt sounded again:
"It is detected that the host's swordsmanship has been improved to LV-5. You can choose one of the following branch abilities:"

"Iron cutting, flying blade, amazing speed."
