One Piece: How Can I Become King Of The Pirate If You Don’t Work Hard?

After speaking, Zoro gripped the sword tightly in his hand, and the fire in his eyes burned more vigorously, but suddenly, Gawain's teasing voice came to his ears.

"You're still a long way from there!"

The next moment, a hand pressed on Zoro's chest and gave it a gentle push.

Zoro, who had already reached the edge of the deck, lost his balance and fell into the sea with the two swords in his hands.

Thump!

A splash of water rose from the sea.

"Hahahaha."

Nami couldn't help but burst out of laughter before swiftly throwing a lifebuoy down from the deck.

"Asshole!"

Zoro clung to the lifebuoy, soaking wet. 

He looked at Gawain, who had a smile on his face on the deck, and gritted his teeth in anger: "Just you wait!"

"Sooner or later, I will throw you into the sea!"

Gawain's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "If you say so, then I have to have some fun in advance. Otherwise, I will be sorry for my future self."

"Although I never thought you could defeat me."

Have some fun in advance?

Zoro was stunned and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

A few minutes later

Zoro climbed onto the boat with difficulty, walked towards Gawain angrily, and was about to continue the battle, but suddenly, he felt his feet go weak.

When he looked down, he discovered that the wounds on his chest and abdomen had split open at some point. 

The blood-soaked his bandages and the stimulation of the seawater made him grimace in pain.

"If you are injured, don't try to be stubborn. Heal your wound first."

Gawain's voice came from the deck: "It will take about ten days from here to my base. With your physical condition, you will recover in three days at most. It won't be too late to come back then."

"Snort!"

Zoro's mouth twitched in pain, but he also knew that what Gawain said was his best choice right now.

"What an arrogant fellow!"

He slowly put the sword back into the scabbard, and then he felt dizzy and fell on his back.

The last thing he heard was Johnny and Yosaku's screams…

The two men stepped forward and carefully examined Zoro's wounds. 

After confirming that the latter was only weak due to not eating for a few days, they felt relieved.

Yosaku turned and looked at Gawain with a pleading look: "Mr. Gawain, look..."

After a few days of getting along, they had already seen clearly that Gawain in front of them was completely different from the other pirates.

He does not have that kind of cruel style, and his whole demeanor is consistent with his White Knight nickname.

As a result, the initial panic and anxiety gradually disappeared.

"Take care of that guy first... Forget it; let the ship's doctor rebandage it. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the wound gets infected."

"Thanks!"

Yosaku thanked profusely.

Gawain waved his hand and asked the two men to carry Zoro into the cabin.

Kuro brushed past the two men, walked onto the deck, and stood side by side with Gawain.

He looked at the wound on Zoro's body and noticed the undisguised admiration in Gawain's eyes: "Do you think so highly of that little brat?"

Gawain didn't even raise his eyelids and said calmly: "At least for now, his potential is the strongest on our ship, even better than mine."

"Do you believe it?"

"As long as he is guided correctly, within a few years, he will be able to defeat you."

Kuro rolled his eyes at him.

He wanted to open his mouth to refute directly, but his eyes caught a glimpse of Nami, who had just laid back in the chair and was drinking orange juice comfortably.

So, he subconsciously closed his mouth.

After all, the past events are still vivid in his mind. 

He wash all the socks of his companions for one month, making his life extremely miserable during that time.

Thinking about it now, Kuro even shrugged his nose subconsciously. 

After confirming that there was no such smell on his body, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned to look at Gawain and said: "It's already great luck for the East Blue to produce a freak like Nami, who goes beyond common sense once every ten years. Do you expect to meet one every day?"

Gawain was stunned and said jokingly: "Do you want to continue washing our socks?"

"Roll!"

When his dark history was exposed, Kuro was immediately embarrassed. He turned around and left with a sullen face.

Before entering the cabin, Kuro turned to Gawain and said: "Just watch!"

"With your lazy attitude now, it won't be long before I surpass you!"

Bang!

After Kuro finished speaking, he slammed the cabin door shut and walked towards the training room, only to find that Gin had already been inside, looking at him provocatively.

Um?

This look seems familiar as if he has seen it in the mirror.

Kuro's heart skipped a beat.

Gawain on the deck looked at Kuro's back and touched his nose with his hand.

He smiles but says nothing.

During this period, through fighting and training, Kuro and Gin contributed a lot of experience to him.

Although it will still take some time to upgrade, who doesn't like the feeling of watching the experience bar grow longer?

He likes energetic young people like them!

With Nami joining the team in just a few days, his navigation skills have been upgraded by one level, reaching Level 2.

Far beyond the capabilities of a certain ambitious vice-captain.

After three days of rest, Zoro's wounds had completely healed. It was obvious that even in terms of physical ability alone, he was first-rate. After all, this was also proof of his great potential.

And the first thing he did after recovering was to challenge Gawain.

Instead of taking more effective measures, such as sneak attacks or drugging, he chose to attack head-on.

This is his character. 

If he wants to win, he must win fairly. How can the title of the strongest person won by cheating be resounding throughout heaven?

Now, everyone on the ship gathered on the deck to watch the battle.

Kuro looked at Zoro and shook his head: "In just a few days, no matter how fast you progress, there is a limit. Hasn't that kid figured out the gap between himself and Gawain?"

"There is no hope for a frontal assault."

After Gin pondered for a moment, he said calmly: "Maybe he didn't even want to win this time."

Kuro was stunned, then turned around and looked at the field without saying a word.

Gawain stood with a sword in his hand, his expression calm.

Zoro was furious.

Clang!

The three swords were unsheathed at the same time, and Zoro took a stance. 

The aura emanating from him was visibly stronger than it was a few days ago.

"Wow, that's quite some progress!"

Gawain's eyes lit up. 

Could just one defeat lead to such growth?

But after all, it was destined that the man who would take the title of the strongest swordsman from Hawk Eyes would have such talent, so it was normal!

Kuro, on the side, was dumbfounded at this moment.

He was the second strongest person on the ship after Gawain; even Gin was a little bit inferior to him.

Naturally, like Gawain, he could see the changes in Zoro.

How much growth has it achieved in just a few days?

No, these freaks really do gather in the East Blue, right?

Wrong!

He turned to look at Gawain, then at Gin and Nami, and finally kept his eyes on Zoro while frowning: "Once is luck, twice is coincidence, and thrice is beyond common sense."

"Gawain seems to have the ability to recognize other people's talents. It's as if he can judge the other person's potential ability just by looking at him?!"

"How can he do it?"
