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

Chapter 9 New Badge and Physical Improvement
"To check the potential capabilities of the crew?"

Gawain was slightly startled, then turned to look at the pirate beside him. A new panel appeared in front of Gawain:
【Name-Wai En】

[Potential-Black Iron]

[Rating: Black Iron: A small fry who has learned basic swordsmanship.]

Then Gawain turned his attention to the other pirates, and the system screen switched, displaying their potential abilities and system scores in real time.

Without exception, all are black iron.

Gao Wen was not surprised by this result.

After all, according to the system's standards, even if the swordsmanship has awakened the speed attribute and the physique has been improved by one level, the score is still Black Iron.

Even if the pirates on the ship were tied together, they might not be a match for Gawain. The gap between them was even bigger than that between dogs.

"That means I can directly check the potential of the crew members and select the talents I need?!"

Gawain realized the correct usage of this badge.

However, it is not useful for the time being, after all, he is still at sea.

"We can go and see if there are any other useful leeks in the East China Sea besides those three people."

"A strong person with top talent can reach the pinnacle within a few years."

"It also shows that the gap between people is greater than that between dogs."

Gawain shook his head, then checked the potential of the pirates present one by one, and finally could only helplessly confirm that all the pirates on this ship were small fry.

but.

Even if they are just small fish, if their numbers increase, they will become a piece of leek field that cannot be ignored.

Besides, Gao Wen's physique has reached the brink of a breakthrough.

He had a hunch that as long as his physical strength improved further, his combat power would undergo a transformation, and he would be able to truly get rid of the title of black iron trash.

Gawain left behind a small group of people to control the ship's navigation and gather intelligence nearby, and then gathered the rest of the people on the deck to continue teaching them swordsmanship.

Naturally, no one had any opinion on this, nor did they dare to have any opinion.

Now Gawain has established absolute prestige in their hearts, and no one on the ship dares to resist.

after all.

The last person who resisted had his body eaten clean.

"Hey!"

"what!"

……

on the deck.

Angry roars came from the black block, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing.

Under the scorching sun, everyone started their rigorous training again.

……

Time flies, the sun sets and the moon rises.

There were gusts of cool air blowing over the sea, and the exhausted pirates just lay down on the deck, letting the sea breeze blow away their fatigue.

Gao Wen stood aside and nodded with satisfaction. This was the greatest value of these people to him.

If they can't even perform the most basic functions of an experience pack, bringing them along would be more of a burden than a help.

With the end of practice.

Gawain once again gained 12 points of physical experience and 15 points of swordsmanship experience.

体魄-LV-4：791/800——>体魄-LV-5：1/1600
剑术-LV-5：803/1600——>剑术-LV-5：818/1600
His physique, which was already close to its limit, broke through directly to level 5.

Gawain felt the changes in his body instantly.

The muscles under the leather armor began to fill up visibly, and even the bones in the body began to make crackling sounds like frying beans.

That is the sound of bones pressing against each other as they grow rapidly.

In just a few breaths.

Gawain's figure jumped up a bit, and his originally loose leather armor became a tight style, and his trouser legs also exposed his ankles.

The whole person became stronger.

“My body is stronger!”

"Its strength has increased by 50%. I haven't tested its ability to withstand blows yet, but it is undoubtedly much stronger than before!"

"I just don't know what it will be like to withstand Monka's axe now."

Gao Wen smiled faintly, then raised his hand and clenched it... snap!
The air exploded, attracting the attention of the surrounding pirates.

"what?"

"Has the captain's body shape changed? I remember that he wasn't this tall before."

One of the pirates rubbed his eyes and felt that Gawain looked a little strange, as if something had changed.

"The sense of oppression from the Captain is stronger, even stronger than when I killed Monka before!"

"Illusion?"

The pirate with a Mohawk patted his shoulder and said weakly:

"I guess you admire the captain too much."

"is it?"

"That's it!"

……

The people who had barely recovered their strength began to chat idly.

Gawain walked towards the captain's room in silence, because the changes before him were just appetizers, and greater improvements were yet to come.

boom!
After closing the door of the captain's room and locking it, Gawain checked the information in his mind:
"It is detected that the host's physique has been upgraded to LV-5. You can choose one of the following branch abilities:"

"Strong, agile, strong, and balanced."

After a brief thought, Gawain set his sights on the last option.

These four branch abilities undoubtedly represent four ways of adding points, namely the so-called extreme strength, agility, physique, and the balanced way of adding points among the three.

But reality is not a game after all. If the point-adding method is too extreme, it is very likely that other attributes cannot keep up and fail to play the original role.

Strong power requires an equally strong physique to support it. Super-fast speed without corresponding power to break the opponent's defense is just scraping, and simply piling up physical strength is just a pure sandbag.

Moreover.

In the world of pirates, the strong ones who can reach the top of the pyramid are all those who have reached the extreme in physique, strength and speed.

The navy has Garp and Sengoku, and the pirates have Kaido and Whitebeard. Their attributes are balanced and there are no obvious shortcomings.

Even if you add points evenly, it may lead to a situation in the later stage where it seems that you have everything you want, but in fact you have nothing.

But Gawain is confident that with the efforts of his subordinates, he can even create a hexagonal warrior!
“I choose balance!”

next moment.

Gawain's body heated up again, and countless blood as hot as lava gushed out of his heart and flowed through every organ in his body.

The burning pain from inside out made Gawain break out in a cold sweat. He bent over, his face flushed, and he almost bit his gums until they bled:

"Um--!"

Along with the severe pain in his body, Gawain's body began to undergo amazing changes.

Every pore on the body surface began to secrete fishy-smelling sweat, but before it could flow down, it was dried up by the high body temperature.

Wait until the change is over.

Gawain was completely exhausted and lay on his back on the ground gasping for breath.

"Ha~"

After counting the breaths.

When Gawain came to his senses, he discovered that there was a thick layer of dirt on his skin, which cracked with a slight touch, revealing the new skin inside.

"This……"

"It should be considered a kind of cleansing of the tendons and marrow, right?"

Gawain smiled slightly, and then he felt the changes in his body.

"and many more!"

“My body is so light!”

"It's like living in chains and suddenly having them removed."

“Every part of my body feels so relaxed!”

He moved his body slightly and felt that every cell was emitting vigorous vitality. Even the hidden injuries left by his predecessor's swordsmanship training when he was young were completely healed.

This body seemed to have returned to its most primitive and authentic state!
"and many more!"

"Since I can check other people's potential, can I also check my own?!"
