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

Chapter 41: Rapidly Increasing Experience Points

Gao Wen was slightly stunned.

The numbers for swordsmanship and physical strength are still normal.

After all, now that Crow and Akin are seriously injured and cannot move normally, their only source of experience is the pirates in the pirate group whose potential has not yet reached its limit.

It can be as many as a dozen or as few as a few a day, which can only be said to be better than nothing, and the overall situation is even getting smaller and smaller.

However, this was all within Gawain's expectations. What really surprised him was the observation Haki.

"There are only two people in the pirate group who have awakened their Observation Haki. Jin is more seriously injured, so the only one left is Crow, who has recovered faster."

"but."

"Kero can provide 33 points of Observation Haki experience points in one day?"

"Even now he is injured and in poor physical condition. Once he fully recovers, he will provide more experience."

Gao Wen opened the system panel:
【Host-Gawain】

【Age-24】

[Identity-Captain of the Gawain Pirates]

【Skill:
Swordsmanship-LV-5: 1171/1600 (Super Speed)
Physical strength-LV-5: 381/1600 (balanced)
Navigation-LV-1: 13/100
Scoop Death-LV-1: 3/200

【badge:
Captain's Fury - Subordinates' physical strength recovery speed +20%

】

[Rating - Bronze: You are a big shot in the world and even in Paradise, but please keep your head down in the new world.]

During this period, the people who returned to Pala Island obviously did not give up their practice. Overall, their sword skills and physical strength grew by more than a hundred points of experience respectively.

This was within Gawain's expectations, but what really surprised him was the observation Haki.

"The experience points required to upgrade to level 1 exceed the experience points required to upgrade physical strength to level 4?"

"It seems that even between abilities, there are differences in levels?"

Gawain frowned slightly. Although he was still confused, this was the only reasonable explanation he could think of.

After all, the popularity of domineering will have to wait until a new world where strong people gather.

In the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line Paradise, there are many people who practice swordsmanship, physical skills, and even develop devil fruits, but there are only a handful of people who truly master domineering.

"From this perspective, the experience points required for the subsequent Armament Haki and even Conqueror Haki will be even greater."

"but."

"Even at Clo's current speed, it will only take me less than half a month to grow to LV-1, and then I can really put it into actual combat."

"After the two of them recover, their physical strength and death-scooping skills will begin to improve again."

"And the Armament Haki must also be arranged, otherwise it will be too passive when facing a natural ability user."

Replaying the battle with Smoger, Gawain felt aggrieved.

In terms of hard power alone, he is undoubtedly superior to Smoger, but his elemental ability of nature directly invalidates his attacks.

He could only suppress Smoker by using super-fast thrusts and smashing him to pieces again and again.

If the next time he faces something with direct killing power like the Flame-Flame Fruit or the Magma Fruit, Gawain will probably only have the option of running away.

"Heroic aura is a manifestation of one's inner heart. Everyone has it, but not everyone can awaken it."

"We already have the Observation Haki, so can we apply the same knowledge to Armament Haki?"

With this in mind.

the next day.

Gawain then entrusted the affairs of the pirate group to Zangao, and asked the cat-man brothers to take a group of recovered brothers to the waters near Raven Harbor to strangle the pirates and maintain the safety of the route as promised.

He began to try to awaken the armament color in his body.

It’s one thing to just say it, but it’s another to do it.

After several days, Gao Wen did not get anything, but he had no clue at all.

A blind cat catches a dead mouse. Pure luck is enough to happen once.

Without anyone to guide him, Gao Wen's concept of domineering power only stayed at a few posts he had read in his previous life.

That kind of stuff can't be said to be wrong, but it is ultimately just some outrageous talk, correct but useless, and cannot provide any help to Gawain now.

However, while Baiqi had no idea what to do, Ajin and Clo on the other side gradually began to exert their strength.

……

With the help of the Gawain badge's abilities, Ajin's injuries recovered much faster than expected.

After just seven days, he took off the bandages on his body. Although many wounds were still covered with scabs, they no longer affected his normal movements.

Under the influence of Gawain and Clo, Ajin also gradually began to practice.

now.

In the harbor, the sun set from overhead, scorching the earth. The air on the surface was even visibly distorted, and the chirping of cicadas all around made people even more restless.

All the pirates have returned to the shade to avoid the sun, only Jin keeps punching a scrapped pirate ship.

boom!
boom!
boom!
……

The bloody fist left one dent after another on the hull.

Under the stimulation of severe pain, Ajin's mind was unusually clear.

this time.

As Jin got to know Gawain's pirate group better and better, he felt more and more empathetic towards Gawain's past experiences.

"He was once the most benevolent pirate leader who treated his subordinates the best. But when he was in danger, he was betrayed by his subordinates and had no choice but to draw his sword on them. Has his personality changed drastically since then?"

"No wonder Captain Gawain was able to put aside his prejudice and come to my rescue even though I was his enemy."

“It is because we have similar experiences that we can understand each other best.”

……

Time passes slowly, I don’t know how long it has been.

boom!
When the last punch landed, Ajin realized that the sun in the distance had already lost its last ray of light.

The pain from his fist also made him realize that his body had reached its limit.

If we continue, it may cause more hidden injuries, which will not be worth the cost.

"Hoo~!"

Ajin let out a long sigh and turned to leave.

Thinking of Gao Wen’s fried rice, my heart was filled with something I had never felt before.

……

into the night.

After trying to awaken his own domineering power to no avail, Gawain returned to his room. Just when he was feeling depressed, a familiar prompt from the system came into his mind:

"Physical experience +127!"

"Swordsmanship experience +8!"

"Killing experience +22"

"Observation Haki experience +44!"

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what was happening, his eyes widened:

"Physical experience increased by 127?!"

"Based on the recent rate, the experience points that other pirates can provide are only a fraction of this."

"That is to say, Ajin and Clo provided about 120 points of physical experience?!"

"Not to mention the Shaosi and Observation Haki!"

"The efficiency of these two people alone is enough to rival a large pirate group consisting of hundreds of people, and they can even last longer!"

"At this rate, in a month at most, my physique will be able to level up twice and reach LV-7? Even in half a year, I should be able to reach LV-10 and obtain the second entry."

"As expected, a crew member with great potential can provide experience equivalent to hundreds or even thousands of small fry."

"The talent gap between individuals in this world is completely unreasonable."
