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

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

Everyone also saw the scene in the distance clearly, but they were all shocked and speechless.

Because the ten-meter-long pirate ship had been neatly broken into two pieces in the middle at this moment, and everything inside, including the keel, was completely cut open.

Cut the ship with one sword?

In their cognition, only the monsters active in the Grand Line could do such an existence, at least the original Gawain could never do it.

"Is the captain's strength so strong?"

"No! The captain's strength was never this level before, and he has become stronger during this period!"

"We all guessed wrong, he must have worked hard when no one knew about it!"

"He is the hardest-working person in the pirate group!"

Gawain was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his old face blushed, but he did not explain. After all, the existence of the system is his biggest secret, and they saved a lot of trouble by thinking this way.

The surrounding pirates gradually became excited.

"Such swordsmanship can even fight against Monka!"

The pirate who just shouted to build a ship to escape, looked at the cut pirate ship, his eyes lit up again.

The crowd, which was gradually getting turbulent, calmed down for a while, looking at Gawain with hope.

"Go back to practice now."

"Yes!"

At this moment, Gawain's prestige in the hearts of the people was raised again, almost to an insurmountable level.

They picked up their swords and returned to the state of hard practice as before, and their bodies instinctively practiced every move they had learned from Gawain.

They even changed to wooden sticks and started to catch up with each other.

Gawain looked at the people in front of him who had regained their faith, and suddenly a kind of enlightenment rose in his heart.

In the original work, Moria's attempt to rely on the power of his companions to become the Pirate King was completely wrong.

It's putting the cart before the horse.

Only when the captain is strong and can repel all invading enemies can he unite the hearts of the pirates and create an undefeated pirate group!

Time soon entered the late night.

In Gawain's mind, the familiar system prompt sound came again:

Swordsmanship-LV-5: 11/1500——\u003eSwordsmanship-LV-5: 58/1500

Physique-LV-4: 366/800——\u003ePhysique-LV-4: 418/800

The swordsmanship and physique experience that Gawain gained on this day doubled compared to before.

In the next few days, the experience points provided by these pirates who practiced like crazy basically remained at this level.

There were only less than 100 experience points left for the physique to upgrade.

…

A few days later.

Late at night.

The bright moon was hanging high, the sky was full of stars, and the fishy and salty sea breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness.

The people who had finished their practice were about to return to the mountains to rest. When they looked up, they saw red fireballs all over the sky illuminating the entire night sky, and countless shells fell on this deserted island like meteors.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

After a series of explosions, a raging fire broke out in the forest.

The heat waves rolled, and the originally cool sea breeze was like a burning knife, licking everyone's skin.

"The navy is coming!"

...

Under the night.

A huge warship stood quietly on the sea, like a beast with its claws open.

A sturdy man stood on the bow with an axe in his hand.

Who else could it be but Monka?

Chapter 6 A Sword

At this time, Monka had not yet experienced the tragic defeat at the hands of Baiji Kro. His chin was still made of flesh, and his arms had not been replaced with prosthetic limbs in the shape of a giant axe, but his aura was far more powerful than in later generations.

It was because his mentality, will, and belief were all at the peak of his life, and the power born from belief was even stronger.

Monka looked into the distance.

The fire on the deserted island was soaring into the sky. A marine in charge of reconnaissance hurried to Monka's side, saluted, and began to report the situation:

"A pirate ship was found in a bay on the island. Judging from the flag, it is undoubtedly from the Gawain Pirates."

"But the strange thing is that the ship was broken in the middle, and the cut surface was extremely flat. It didn't look like it was formed naturally, but more like it was man-made."

Monka was slightly stunned, raised the telescope in his hand, and looked at the bay in the distance.

As the information reported by the scout was consistent, a pirate ship that was broken in the middle was stranded on the beach.

Monka had seen such scars before.

That was a few years ago.

When Garp returned to the East China Sea to sweep the surrounding pirates.

The man named Bogart who had been following Garp silently.

At that time, everyone thought he was just Garp's follower.

Until he cut a pirate ship in half with a sword, and the powerful sword energy almost cut the sea apart, everyone lost their voices.

How could someone who has been with Garp for decades be an unknown person?

The cut left by Bogart at that time was almost identical to the one in front of him.

Therefore, with just one glance, Monka could tell that the one who made the move must be a good swordsman.

"Did the knight Gawain do it?"

"No, a swordsman who can leave such a neat cut would be considered a top figure even in the Grand Line."

"I know Gawain's strength, and he definitely can't do this. Did he encounter another pirate?"

Monka frowned slightly, and was a little wary of the mysterious man who made the move. A strong man who could cut a ship with a sword should not be an unknown person in the East China Sea.

Even in his impression, only a few officers from the headquarters could do it.

"However, it seems that the other party should have fought with the Gawain Pirates. Ha, unlucky guy."

Thinking of this, Monka's confidence doubled.

In his impression, Gawain was never his opponent.

Now he is attacked by a mysterious strong man again. Without verification, he knows that the other party must have suffered heavy losses. That ship is the best evidence.

A few more rounds of artillery fire fell from the warship, and the red meteors in the sky completely ignited the entire island. The flames shot up to the sky, and there was no movement in the forest.

Monka saw that more than half of the shells on the ship were consumed, so he stopped the artillery fire.

He decided to take Gawain's head himself.

Looking at the marines rubbing their hands behind him, Monka grinned:

"Brothers, tonight is our time to make achievements!"

"For justice!"

Monka's firm voice fell, and the emotions of the marines were completely ignited, and some were even trembling with excitement.

This was not the first time they had fought against the Gawain Pirates. Every time before, they had beaten the other side and made them flee in panic, and they only paid the price of a few minor injuries.

And now Gawain is on the island. He is a living meritorious person and a walking 50 million Bailey!

"It is not just the navy that has offered a bounty for Gawain. The bounty offered by the royal family of the Kingdom of Goa in the underground world has reached 50 million!"

"As long as we can capture him, it will all be ours, not to mention that we are enforcing justice!"

"Absolute justice!"

The belief in justice dispelled the last bit of concern of these marines. The swords and ammunition wrapped in wax paper in their hands brought them unprecedented confidence and made them truly cold-blooded executioners.

Everyone seemed to see the scene of their own success.

"Kill!"

Monka shouted loudly, and then jumped off the warship first and rushed towards the location of the cave. A ship of marines followed closely with fanaticism.

Everyone moved quickly, and Monka was the first to take the lead. In just a few minutes, they crossed a distance of nearly a thousand meters.

Soon.

Gawain, holding a long sword, led dozens of pirates and appeared in Monka's sight.

He looked at the fanatical marines in front of him with an indifferent expression.

He felt that the eyes of these people were no different from those of his predecessors who died in their hands. They were all equally fanatical and greedy.

The battle between marines and pirates also broke out at this moment.

A burst of dense gunfire was heard on the deserted island in an instant. In a few breaths, several bodies were left on both sides.

Even those who retreated in fear on Gawain's ship forgot what fear was under the effect of adrenaline.

Pick up the swords and guns in their hands and fight with the enemy.

Bloody and hideous.

For the navy, this battle is for fame, profit, and advancement, while the pirates are fighting purely for survival!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

In the dense gunfire.

Gawain swung his sword to cut off several bullets flying towards him, then he looked up at Monka who was also motionless in the distance, with a faint smile on his lips:

"Rather than saying you are a marine, you are my colleague."

"Sharp-tongued brat!"

Monka grinned, looking at Gawain in front of him, but he didn't want to say anything more to him.

He stepped heavily, almost crushing the ground, and the whole person turned into a sharp arrow and rushed towards Gawain.

At the same time, the axe in his hand swept across, bursting out with terrifying force, this blow could easily crush the rock even if it was hit on it!

He had suppressed Gawain several times with his strength, and now he didn't think the result would be different if he did it again.

There are indeed many people in this sea who can be reborn within a month. Devil Fruit, technological transformation, and domineering awakening can improve a person's combat effectiveness in a very short time.

But Gawain is obviously not among them!

The next moment...

Boom!

The violent force shattered the rocks on the ground, but Monka frowned slightly:

"Missed?"

"No, you are too slow..."

Gawain's teasing voice sounded in Monka's ears, and the latter's vest was instantly wet with cold sweat.
