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

"Even Captain Gawain has such a strong fighting power?"

"It seems that the original time to challenge him has to be moved back. Five years? No, no, no, eight years... Ten years to be safe!"

"Just ten years!"

Zoro gritted his teeth and said this, but his eyes suddenly turned red.

It was not until this moment that he remembered that Gawain had no intention of returning alive from the beginning.

"Asshole!"

"How can I become the world's number one if you die!"

...

...

...

He was going to kill me with this knife!

The moment Gawain had this idea, there was no more luck in his mind.

Originally, he had thought about whether Hawkeye would appreciate him as much as he appreciated Zoro, so he chose to show mercy, after all, this was a script that had already happened.

Now it seems that there is a fundamental difference between his view of himself and Zoro.

"This is going to be fun~"

The moment he realized this, Gawain slowly closed his eyes, and his slightly trembling body gradually calmed down.

Chest heaved and breathed steadily.

He felt that the world around him had gone quiet at this moment, and the only sound he could hear was Guan Shi Zheng Zong's breathing.

Seeing this, Hawkeye put down the knife in his hand and looked at the young man in front of him, with unspeakable admiration in his eyes.

"Did you understand something?"

"Interesting, it seems that I won't be too lonely in the next few years, or even more than ten years."

"Of course, the premise is that you can survive!"

After a few breaths.

Gawain suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes burning like torches, and said lightly:

"What is the essence of domineering?"

Hawkeye smiled and said lightly:

"It's not good to ask your opponent such a question in battle."

"However, as a compliment to you for pleasing me, I don't mind giving you my answer."

"Regarding domineering, some people say will, some say faith, and some say ambition and courage, but in my opinion, there is only one word."

"Faith!"

"Or let me be more straightforward."

"Do you think you can hit me with your next knife? Do you think you can leave here alive? Do you believe that the oath you once made will definitely come true?!"

Gawain was stunned for a moment.

Then he recalled that he had found a way out for himself when he first tried to practice armed color domineering.

If you can't awaken on your own, rely on your companions.

If the East China Sea doesn't work, go to the Grand Line, go to the New World.

But as Hawkeye said, this kind of thing born from faith, courage, will, or faith, the moment you hesitate, it is destined to be difficult to find a way.

Panels and skills can be accumulated by the system, but the lack of fighting spirit cannot.

"I see!"

Gawain suddenly tightened his grip on Guanze Masamune, but the voice of Hawkeye came to his ears the next moment:

"Do you believe that you can survive my sword now?!"

"Believe!"

Gawain's eyes suddenly burst into a dazzling light.

In contrast, a certain power hidden in the body was truly awakened at this moment.

A layer of black breath visible to the naked eye followed his arm and went all the way up to Guanze Masamune in Gawain's hand, dyeing the silver-white blade black.

It was the armed color domineering that he had been seeking before!

At the same time

A familiar system prompt sounded in Gawain's mind:

"Awaken Armament Haki! Current level - LV-1!"

...

Gawain was slightly stunned, and thought to himself:

"Isn't it LV-0 like Observation Haki, and Armament Haki awakening is LV-1? Is it because I realized it by myself?"

"Forget it, don't bother with these small problems, there will be plenty of opportunities to verify it in the future."

"Anyway..."

Gawain looked up at Hawkeye:

"Now let's start the second round!"

"Great!"

Hawkeye's hand, the black knife hummed.

But his sight was focused on the dark Guanze Masamune in Gawain's hand.

In his opinion.

The Armament Haki in Gawain's hand was still weak at this moment, like a candle flame, which would be extinguished by a breeze.

It was a thousand miles away from refining Guanze Masamune into a black knife.

But Gawain was shining!

The glory was enough to reach the top!

At this moment

Hawkeye was even reluctant to kill Gawain here in advance, but the man's will would not allow him to do so.

"This is my respect for you!"

"Strong!"

He landed with Hawkeye's voice.

The sun in the distance completely sank below the horizon, and a bright moon rose, casting silver light from the sky, and the sea surface sparkled, as if countless pieces of silver were suspended.

His figure also moved in the next moment.

Dark man, dark knife.

Hawkeye stepped on the deck under the feet of the two people in one step, and the black knife that had been thirsty for a long time also whistled away.

Even though the extremely sharp blade had not yet approached, it made Gawain feel a stinging pain in his skin, and even a blood mark appeared on the skin under his clothes.

But there was no fear in his eyes.

It was because Gawain had realized something at this moment.

What he lacked with the system was not the means to reach the top, but the awareness and belief to reach the top.

After all, the domineering aura born out of belief, especially the one in a million domineering color, is another version of the answer besides the mythical beast species!

The Guanshi Zhengzong, who felt Gawain's will, also trembled at this moment, responding to Gawain's will.

Then the two black knives met head-on in the air for the first time tonight.

Blade and blade.

Force and force.

Hard against each other...

Ding!

The harsh collision sound was accompanied by a circle of shock waves that seemed to be real, pushing away the surrounding seawater, and the deck under the feet of the two people also exploded directly because it could not withstand the terrifying force.

The last thing Gawain saw was a black knife slashing towards his neck...

When he lost consciousness.

Gawain heard the gradually blurred prompt sound of the system:

"Understand the original heart! Temper the will! Potential..."

...

The weather on the sea is always unpredictable.

Before the sun set, it was still a clear sky, and now there is a hint of coolness in the sea breeze.

In just a few breaths.

A layer of thick lead-like dark clouds accumulated in the sky, thunder roared, lightning flashed, and bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky.

Hitting the floating deck fragments on the sea, the scarlet blood rushed into the sea, attracting bloodthirsty sharks to gather, but they were afraid of the man with eagle eyes and dared not approach.

"This really leaves me with a difficult problem."

Hawkeye looked down at the young man who fell in front of him, letting the blood flow from the hideous scar on his chest. After hesitating for a while, he put the blade on the young man's neck.

But in the end, he didn't have the heart to kill him.

"Forget it, let others teach you this last lesson."

"Sometimes, in some battles, even if the opponent is much stronger than you, you must win!"

"I hope you won't lose too much before that day."

After saying that, Hawkeye turned around and was about to leave, but his footsteps suddenly stopped at this moment.

Swish!

A burst of blood mist suddenly burst out from Hawkeye's shoulder.

He turned his head and found out.

The clothes on his shoulders had been torn at some point, and an obvious scar on the exposed skin was extremely glaring at this moment.

Chapter 78 Golden Potential

The wound was not deep, far from affecting the combat effectiveness.

But the shock it brought to Hawkeye at this time was hard to describe in words, especially when he noticed the dazzling bloody red on the sharp blade of Guanshi Zhengzong.

In the rainstorm.

Hawkeye raised his hand to press the wound on his shoulder, letting the blood flow out from his fingers and washed away by the rain.

"Are you careless?"

"But."

"How long have I not felt this familiar pain?"

"Yes, since that guy lost his right hand, no one can leave scars on me with a sword."

"This is really..."

"It's exciting!"

...
