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

Chapter 82 I asked you to curl, not lick!
East China Sea.

Pala Island.

It was two days later that Gawain returned to the base camp.

Zoro has also woken up a long time ago, but the injuries left by Hawkeye on him are too severe, and it will take some time for him to recover his mobility. For the time being, he is unable to assume the due responsibilities of a leek.

but.

Gao Wen is not in a hurry for the time being.

With Sanji joining the group, Gawain's subordinates have Zoro in swordsmanship and Sanji in physique, two gold-level leeks.

As long as nothing goes wrong, Gao Wen's subsequent development speed will only be faster.

Maybe before entering the Grand Line, you will have the opportunity to raise your combat power to the gold level.

Most of the powerful and well-known pirates in the pirate world, such as the General Stars, the Three Disasters, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and even the elite vice admirals and admiral candidates of the navy, are at this level.

It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is a strong man.

Think of this.

Gao Wen, who was sitting at the desk, couldn't help but smile.

Then he began to think about the number of people the team would need during the start-up period after entering the Grand Line:

"Now that the crews that are easy to recruit in the East China Sea have basically been completed, it is time to prepare to plan the crews to be recruited for the Grand Route."

"The vacancies on board now include ship doctor, shipwright, sailor, sniper..."

Thoughts surged in Gawain's mind, and several faces gradually emerged.

"Besides, when my combat power truly advances to gold and is strong enough to bear the title of Shichibukai, I will need to plan how to forcibly dethrone one of them and attract the attention of the World Government."

"We will have to wait until we enter the Grand Line to find the specific target."

"After all, Ace had just set out to sea at this time, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea were not the same group as when Luffy set out to sea in the future."

"After taking down the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it's time to conquer a piece of territory that belongs to you, and then start recruiting troops..."

After some thinking.

Gao Wen gradually came up with an idea in his mind and stopped thinking about it.

He touched the scar on his chest, which was still painful. A scab had formed on the surface, and the flesh inside was growing.

Under the effects of the Balance attribute and the Captain's Wrath Badge, Gawain recovered much faster than the ship's doctor expected, and also faster than Sauron.

Now these injuries no longer affect movement.

He grabbed Guan Shi Zheng Zong, walked out of the room, and quickly disappeared into the harbor. When he appeared again, he was already on a flat rock formation on the back mountain of Pala Island.

The terrain here is open and the view is excellent. You can see the sea in the distance at a glance.

Zheng!
Gawain drew out the Kanze Masamune in his hand and activated the Armament Haki he had just mastered.

A layer of black aura instantly enveloped the blade, and the silver-white blade turned pitch black, even reflecting light, showing a different kind of oppression!
Now, skills such as swordsmanship, physique, and observation Haki can all be cultivated by relying on subordinates.

Gawain naturally focused his attention on the Armament Haki that only he possessed among the pirate group in front of him.

As an integrated offensive and defensive capability, Armament Haki can be said to be the most comprehensive and versatile of the three colors of Haki.

Whether it is attached to a fist or sword to attack, or wrapped around the body to form a layer of armor to resist damage, or even the influence of devil fruit abilities, it is an extremely practical ability.

we can even say.

Only after you have mastered the Armament Haki will you be qualified to compete with countless powerful Devil Fruit users.

Otherwise, just the characteristics of natural elementalization and immunity to physical damage will make one invincible, and the armament domineering can attack the main body of the natural ability user.

Gawain looked down at Guanze Masamune, whose hand had turned completely black due to the Armament Haki attached to it, and said calmly:

"If Smoker and I were to fight again now, I would be able to defeat him with one blow. Even the Fire Fist Ace who is still in the East China Sea would probably not be my opponent."

between words.

Gawain's face revealed unparalleled confidence, and he immediately put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind and focused all his attention on practicing Armament Haki.

One knife at a time.

A slash with armed color flew out from Gawain's hand.

Reaching the sky.

While chopping down flying birds and mosquitoes, it also left countless hideous cuts on the mountain peaks beneath its feet.

Just a few minutes.

Gawain felt tired. It was obvious that he only had level one of Armament Haki, which was not enough for him to squander, both in terms of quality and quantity.

He sat cross-legged, feeling the domineering spirit in his body gradually condense again due to his belief. Although unlike the Straw Hat, he had Rayleigh's guidance, but Hawkeye's words undoubtedly pointed out the general direction for Gawain.

In the process of continuous consumption and re-condensation.

Gao Wen clearly felt that his Armament Haki, both in terms of quantity and quality, was slowly increasing.

……

Time flies.

It's late at night.

The sea breeze gradually cooled down, and a full moon reached the top of the sky.

Gao Wen looked at the Armament Haki experience displayed on the system panel and felt a little annoyed for a moment.

"I worked hard for a whole day, but in the end I only gained 8 experience points?!"

"According to the system's ratio, if a subordinate with a talent close to mine practices Armament Haki, he can gain 80 experience points a day?"

Gao Wen's mouth twitched:
"As expected, hard work alone is not as fast as cheating. We have to find a way to get these leeks to come into contact with the color of armament."

"Other ordinary pirates have limited talents, so we can ignore them for now. After all, the most important thing for them is to train their physique first. It would be harmful rather than beneficial to be exposed to Haki now."

"However, with Sanji joining us, the benefits to our physical health should increase significantly..."

Gao Wen's words.

The familiar system prompt sounded again:
"Physical experience +216!"

"Swordsmanship experience +3!"

"Killing experience +43"

"Observation Haki experience +77!"

……

"Your physical strength has only increased by over 200?"

Gawain frowned.

Originally according to his calculations, Sanji and Zoro both had gold potential, and they had always been opposing each other in the Straw Hat Pirates, so the experience points they provided should be very close.

Including the physical experience provided by Clo and Ajin, the total amount should be over 500.

"what's the situation?"

It concerns one's biggest profit.

Gao Wen could no longer sit still, so he put away Guanshi Zhengzong and walked quickly towards the port.

……

now.

It was already late at night, and there were not many pirates active in the port.

As soon as Gao Wen entered the port.

Then Sanji was seen walking slowly towards Nami's room, carrying a plate filled with exquisite food that looked like it took a lot of time and effort to make.

His manners were elegant and proper, and if it weren't for his flared nostrils and heavy breathing, Gawain might have thought he was here to deliver food.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Sanji knocked on Nami's door.

After a few breaths, a helpless face appeared from the door. Nami held a pen in one hand and said weakly:
"Sanji..."

"Ms. Nami, I prepared some food. Do you want to come out for a midnight snack?"

……

When he saw this, Gawain turned away with a dark face. He already knew what was going to happen next.

really.

Just a few seconds later, a clear slap was heard again in the port, and the sound of a man doing three and a half turns in the air and catching a stone slab on his face.

The difference is that this time Sanji also lost the plate in his hand.

Gao Wen didn't even turn his head, but raised his eyelids:
"Case solved."

"This bastard is busy being a lapdog all day, and his target is the only woman on the boat."

"no……"

"I asked you to curl it, not to lick it!"
