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

Chapter 72 He won’t come

Sam chattered on and on, talking incoherently about his experiences after meeting Gawain.

Sanji listened quietly, the cigarette in his mouth burning slowly, until he felt a burning sensation on his lips, he came to his senses and casually pressed off the cigarette holder.

He had never actually met Gawain.

But just from Sam's words, it can be clearly understood that this is a good man.

At least he is a captain who truly cares about his subordinates or companions. This alone is far better than countless pirates roaming the sea in this era.

But if Gao Wen was really such a person, why would he abandon the princess at the most dangerous moment?

If you keep thinking like this, there is only one answer.

After Sanji pondered for a moment, he said calmly:

"What if he's lying? Or what if he's not coming to save you at all?"

Sam was slightly stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"If possible, I hope the captain won't come. For people like us, it's fine if we die, but it's different for him..."

"He can lead others to go further, to the Grand Line, the New World, and even... even the legendary One Piece."

"What a hopeless bastard."

Sanji said these harsh words, but he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth without knowing when.

It is the existence of these idiots that gives people hope of survival in this hopeless world.

He suddenly remembered the experience of surviving with Zhepu.

Especially the scene where he saw the man giving all the food to himself, but eating his own feet to survive.

There may never be such a shock again.

Ten minutes later.

The pirates in the storage room had already eaten up the fried rice on their plates. Sanji put away the plates and was about to leave, but at this moment he heard the voices of gratitude from everyone.

"Blondie, you're a good man, just like the captain!"

There were a few grains of fried rice on Buzhi's face, but the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears, and the fat on his face was trembling.

"It's a pity that we probably have no chance of surviving, otherwise I would definitely let you get on board!"

"The captain will probably like you very much. He has been muttering for a long time that there is a very interesting young man in the sea restaurant Barati."

“This is the best fried rice I've ever had!”

……

Amid the noise of the crowd, Sanji left with the plate in his hand without looking back.

squeak~
The door of the storage room was about to close, but at this moment Sanji's voice came to everyone's ears.

"correct."

"The man called Hawkeye just said that you are an interesting group of people and he probably has no intention of taking your lives."

Sam and Bush were slightly stunned, but at this moment a hint of surprise at surviving the disaster appeared in their eyes.

If they had a choice, they would certainly want to live, to stand under Gawain's banner and live as his subordinates.

……

……

……

at the same time.

Pala Island.

It was the next morning when Clo realized that Gawain and Zoro were missing.

He felt a little uneasy for no reason.

Awakening the Observation Haki can also dramatically improve intuition, and intuition is often the most accurate.

"Where on earth did Gawain and Green Algae Head go?"

Cloe frowned.

He gathered the pirates who stayed on Pala Island together, and they talked to each other and gradually pieced together the whole picture of what happened.

"Not only the captain, but even the green algae head has left?"

"Speaking of which, we have lost contact with the cat brothers since yesterday. They were supposed to follow the captain's orders and search for the whereabouts of the Barati restaurant in the nearby waters."

“Is there any connection between the two?”

"Also, a boat is missing in the harbor. It looks like the captain and Green Algae Head must have left in a small boat."

……

Amid the discussion, Clo placed his hand on his forehead and said nothing.

If it was just a matter about the Barati restaurant at sea, Gawain should not have hidden it from himself and his companions.

Unless there is something wrong here that involves Gawain’s past, so he is unwilling to tell us?
No, if that's the case, you shouldn't wear a green algae head.

You can take the green algae head with you, but you don’t want to take us with you…

What’s the difference between that kid who only knows how to say he wants to be the best swordsman in the world and works so hard to be introverted and us?
and many more!

The world's number one swordsman!

Clo's pupils suddenly contracted:

"Hawkeye-Mihawk?!"

"He was the one who held the cat-man brothers hostage?! If that's the case, it makes sense..."

boom!
Cloe slammed his palm on the table, and the conference room instantly became quiet.

Ajin glanced at Clo, not knowing what had happened, and saw Clo cursing:

"asshole!"

"Gawain, you damn bastard!"

After figuring out the whole thing, Cloe didn't even bother to maintain his original image and stood up excitedly:
"You want to be a hero by yourself? Have you asked us companions?"

Nami realized something was wrong and panic suddenly appeared in her eyes:

"Mr. Crowe, what happened?!"

Clo gritted his teeth:

"That bastard Gawain, he wants to die alone!"

Everyone was slightly stunned, and then they remembered Gawain's nearly invincible strength, and even the slight uneasiness in their hearts completely disappeared.

"Hey, hey, are you kidding?"

"With the captain's strength, not to mention in the East China Sea, even in the Grand Line, there are not many people who can be his opponent."

"You must be overthinking it, right?"

……

"What if the opponent is a man from the New World? The legendary world's best swordsman!"

"I've heard Gawain mention that man more than once, and he didn't even consider the possibility of winning."

Everyone fell silent instantly, staring at Cloe in a daze, because what Cloe said was too shocking.

In their opinion, Gawain's strength is already the strongest without any doubt, and the opponent who can make Gawain completely lose confidence in defeating, that is...

Amid the growing anxiety in everyone's eyes, Clo continued:
"This is the only way to explain why Gawain brought Green Algae Head with him."

"Because for that guy, fighting with the man known as the world's best swordsman is far more important than his own life!"

"And we have become a burden to him. No, he doesn't want to see us die with him!"

"They...they are going to bear everything alone!"

"Go rescue the cat-man brothers!"

The voice fell and the scene fell into complete silence.

Ajin bit his lips tightly, hating his own weakness once again.

If...if I could be stronger, could I stand by that man?

Thinking of this.

Ajin quietly clenched the crutches in his hands and stood up without saying a word.

Nami pursed her lips tightly:

"Mr. Crowe, what should we do? We can't just watch the captain die!"

"Of course!"

Crowe gritted his teeth and said, then he looked at the pirates around him with an extremely serious tone:
"There is a high probability that we will be wiped out in this operation. I won't force you to die with me. That guy will never tolerate such a thing."

"Get out now if you don't want to die!"

After the voice fell, no one in the conference room moved, and no one even made a move to stand up.

Clo looked at the determined eyes of the crowd, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.
"That guy is still so popular!"

"In that case, then die with me!"

"But before that, we need to find the location of Barati, the restaurant on the sea. This matter..."
