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

Chapter 69 Silver
"Flash step?"

“Is there only one branch option?”

"Different skills have different ranges of advancement?"

Gawain had a vague guess, and then he focused his attention on the newly added branch ability. Just from the name, it was not difficult to tell that Flash Step should be an instant acceleration ability similar to shaving.

"How about trying its power?"

Gawain stood up, jumped out of the window, and landed on the open space in the middle.

When landing.

The Guanshi Zhengzong on Gao Wen's waist was already unsheathed, and the silver blade was dazzling in the moonlight.

He took a step forward and instantly launched a scooping move. Before he could react, his body appeared dozens of meters away.

boom!
With an abrupt stop, Gawain crushed the stone slabs in the harbor, and the cracks spread out in all directions with himself as the center.

But at the moment, Gawain didn't care about all this, because he was now facing the same problem as Clo had once faced.

His nerve reflex speed can no longer keep up with the bonus of Flash Step, so he is dead!
"What the hell!"

"The instantaneous burst speed must be at least twice as fast as Shao Si's to exceed my nerve reflex speed."

"Is this entry... so outrageous?"

Gao Wen looked at the cracks under his feet, and then looked back at the place where he had just stood.

If it weren't for the pain in his feet due to the recoil, he would have doubted whether he was dreaming!
Gao Wen forced himself to suppress the thoughts in his mind, activated his Observation Haki, and tried his best to sense everything around him.

The next moment his figure disappeared from the air, and the only sound in the port was the constantly breaking floor and bursts of explosions.

boom!
boom!
boom!
……

By the time Gawain stopped, there was no intact stone slab left at the place where Cloe and the others had practiced during the day.

He stood there in a daze and didn't continue, because at this moment his legs were shaking constantly!

That was a phenomenon that only occurred when the muscles were overexerted. At this moment, Gao Wen even felt that these legs were not his own.

But there was only excitement in his eyes:
"The instantaneous burst speed of Shunbu is far more exaggerated than I expected, close to three times the normal speed of Shaosi!"

"However, consistent with my initial speculation, this is a high-speed, short-distance attack method, which instantly bursts out at a speed more than three times that of the scoop, but the cost is a greater burden on the body."

"In this case, with the sharpness of Guanze Masamune and my swordsmanship, the difference in strength is not big. If the opponent does not have observation Haki or other means of saving his life, it is almost 100% certain to kill him on the first sight!"

"This move is a qualitative change for me!"

"My previous upgrades in swordsmanship, physique, and observation Haki didn't allow me to reach the silver rating, but now I can!"

between words.

Gao Wen directly opened the system panel, and a familiar screen appeared in front of Gao Wen again:

【Host-Gawain】

【Rating-Silver:

Even on the Grand Line, you are a powerful force. If the navy wants to take action against you, they must send out people above the rank of major general!
】

……

Looking at the inconspicuous word "Silver" on the rating, Gao Wen's mouth gradually widened.

Shao Si's breakthrough helped him open the last barrier between bronze and silver, and truly become one of the strong ones.

According to the classification rules of the Cross Guild, Gawain's current combat power corresponds to that of a pirate with a bounty ranging from over 100 million to 1 billion.

In the first half of the Grand Line Paradise, unless you are extremely unlucky and encounter some super-sized beings, there will basically not be too many opponents!

The position of the Seven Warlords of the Sea originally only existed in Gawain's imagination, but now he has the opportunity to touch it.

but.

There is only a slight chance.

After all, even the weakest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, according to the system's rating, is at the top of the silver ranks, and the vast majority are gold.

As for top-notch heroes like Hawkeye, they have undoubtedly entered the ranks of legends that symbolize absolute power.

"But in the East China Sea, you can say that you can walk sideways."

"But my combat power is close to the upper limit of my potential?"

Gawain frowned slightly.

He would never forget that after the pirates under his command reached their potential limit, no matter how much they practiced, they could not make any further progress.

He was unwilling to accept that situation no matter what.

"It's time to consider breaking through the upper limit of my potential. I won't consider body transformation for now. That means I have to rely on the devil fruit, or..."

Gawain recalled the battle between Clo and Akin in Raven Harbor, and the improvement of his potential after he realized his true nature.

But now there is no one in the East China Sea who can bring him such pressure.

"Is the only way to get to the Grand Line?" Gawain murmured.

But at this time.

There was a sound of a window closing in the distance.

He looked up and saw an orange tree on the windowsill, its leaves rustling in the sea breeze.

"Forehead……"

Gao Wen touched his nose, turned his head to look at the broken floor around him, and left with a guilty conscience.

……

……

……

The next day.

Cloe and others came to the port to practice as usual.

All I could see was countless broken floors. It was no longer possible to stand on the land in the center of the port.

"What's going on here?"

Ajin frowned:

"I practiced too much yesterday, and my body was at its limit. I fell into a deep sleep when I returned to my room, and I had no idea what was going on outside."

Sauron nodded:
"I'm almost there, but to do something like this, the captain should be the only one here besides the three of us."

"He practiced secretly while we were away?"

Speaking of it.

Zoro took a deep breath:
"Too insidious!"

"No!"

Clo shook his head, pushed his glasses up habitually, and said calmly:

"Is he trying to stop us from practicing? Is he trying to delay the time of being surpassed by such a childish trick as destroying the practice grounds?"

"Gawain, you have fallen. In order to keep your position, you actually started to play such a trick?"

"Forehead……"

Zoro was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to defend Gawain, but before he could open his mouth, he was held down by Ajin, who shook his head at him obscurely and whispered:

"it's useless."

"Kro, once he makes up his mind, he won't change it easily."

"Is that so?"

Zoro also chose to shut up and watched Clo perform silently.

The destruction of the practice site did not stop the enthusiasm of the crowd at all. They walked excitedly to a flat beach, and after a brief warm-up, began their own practice.

And it's getting more and more curly.

After all, it is well known that when the first person in your dormitory starts to get hot, others will inexplicably feel anxious, thinking, "He works so hard, but I am still a loser."

The only way to resolve it is to roll it up in the same way.

Besides, they have all grown in this month.

After Ajin became proficient in the Observation Haki, he has reached the bronze level.

Zoro's changes are even more earth-shaking. As a newcomer, he successively defeated the cat brothers and Zan Gao and became the de facto number four figure on the ship.

His strength has almost doubled compared to more than a month ago.

……

……

……

at the same time.

The cat brothers, who had completed their patrol mission at Raven Harbor, were sitting in a cake shop at the harbor, enjoying a rare morning tea.

"Ah woo~"

Buzhi put a whole piece of cake into his mouth, but before he had time to chew it, a rapid ring came from the Den Den Mushi in his arms.

Gulp~!

Buzhi swallowed the cake with a flushed face, then took out the Den Den Mushi and connected it.

"Boss Butch!"

"We found the whereabouts of Barati, the restaurant on the sea, but there was an extra, very scary man there who was not reported by the intelligence."

"who?"

"I'm not sure, but those eyes are like an eagle's!"
