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

"It can offset the curse of the sea!"

"Offset… The curse?"

Gawain's eyes lit up.

He naturally knew what this meant.

In the One Piece world, what else can be the thing most associated with the curse besides the Devil Fruit?

Once someone eats a Devil Fruit, they will be cursed by the sea, not to mention losing the ability to swim; they will even be restrained by the Sea Prism Stone.

But even in this situation, countless pirates and Marines still seek all kinds of Devil Fruits.

The reason is that the various abilities provided by the Devil Fruit are too powerful, 

And the impact on a person's combat power and potential can be said to be immediate.

The best example is the Nyaban Brothers, who are standing in front of Gawain at this moment, looking at the bounty with a silly smile on their faces.

Originally, the potential of these two people was only at the Iron level, which was stronger than the ordinary pirates under Gawain's command, but it was also extremely limited. 

Whether in terms of combat power or potential, they could not match the several cadres on the ship.

But after eating the Devil Fruit, the potential of these two people was directly upgraded to a higher level, reaching the same Bronze level as Gin, which can almost be said to be a qualitative change.

Moreover, what these two people ate was only the most common Zoan fruit among the Devil Fruit.

Suppose it is Logia or a Mythical Zoan fruit. In that case, it is not impossible to directly raise their potential to Silver or even Gold level, which can be said to be a great improvement in one's own potential and immediate combat power.

"This badge can help me completely offset the side effects of the Devil Fruit."

"In other words, if I eat a Devil Fruit now, it will be pure profit!"

Even Gawain couldn't help but get excited.

According to Gawain's own prediction, if he can eat the right Devil Fruit and get familiar with the ability, his immediate combat power is likely to soar directly to the Gold level.

And it's not impossible for his potential to likely reach the Diamond level.

That's the potential that is almost the highest in the world!

Even if he doesn't awaken the Conqueror Haki when he realizes all his potential. In the Diamond rank, he's probably the weakest among all the strong ones.

If any one of them is picked out alone, the Marines and even the World Government will have to treat it with caution.

Besides, speaking of rare Devil Fruit, Gawain has one in his hand now, the one that Gaza gave him!

Gawain could no longer hold back, looked at Gaza, and said: "What type of Devil Fruit did you give me before?"

Gaza put down the bounty in her hand, shook her head, and said: "Even the latest Devil Fruit Encyclopedia has not recorded it."

Then she seemed to think of something and smiled: "But when I was looking up the Devil Fruit, I heard a rumor that the World Government deliberately hid the existence of certain Devil Fruits."

"It's because those Devil Fruit users have caused extremely terrible harm in history, and some even caused the disappearance of several kingdoms and the extinction of life."

"In the history of some, they even called those God Fruit."

"The one I gave you may be one of them."

"Is that so."

Gawain frowned slightly.

Perhaps it means that the probability is not 100%.

Even with the badge to offset the side effects of the devil fruit, Gawain can only eat one Devil Fruit in his life.

At least before confirming the true information of the Devil Fruit, Gawain forced himself to suppress the throbbing in his heart.

"Do you have other versions of the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia?"

"It's on the way."

"Okay, give it to me when you get it."

"Hmm."

Gaza nodded repeatedly.

Kuro, who was standing by, saw the emotions that Gawain was having trouble hiding at the moment and couldn't help but remind him: "It's still unknown whether this Devil Fruit is strong or weak, but the side effects are equally strong. With me here, you can reach the top no matter what."

After seeing the abilities of the Nyaban Brothers and knowing the side effects of the Devil Fruit, Kuro lost all interest in it. 

After all, who would be willing to take the risk of eating that kind of thing?

Gawain nodded: "I know."

"Just keep it in mind.

Seeing this, Kuro stopped talking.

A few minutes later, the people who gathered in the harbor gradually walked towards the central area. 

Gawain and his companions were temporarily arranged in a building next to the city lord's mansion.

They felt at ease living here.

Now that Gaza has joined Gawain's Pirate crew, this harbor has naturally become under Gawain's sphere of influence.

Besides, for Gawain, the most important thing at the moment is to figure out the true information of the Devil Fruit in his hand.

Time flies, and three days have passed.

Gaza, who returned to the harbor, took over the affairs of the harbor again. 

With the issuance of orders, the harbor gradually regained its former vitality.

In just a few months, it was attacked by pirates twice in succession. Now, some buildings still have traces of charred bombardment.

In the lord's mansion.

"Miss!"

Accompanied by a cheerful sound, Jasmine pushed open the door of Gaza's office and piled several Devil Fruit Encyclopedias in her arms in the office.

"Here are the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia of various versions that we have collected."

"This one is even a version from more than a hundred years ago!"

"There must be the Devil Fruit that we have never seen before!" 

Jasmine put one of the books in front of Gaza.

Gaza lowered her head.

On the table, she saw a Devil Fruit Encyclopedia whose cover had completely changed color, and the paper was smoky yellow.

She opened it casually and turned the pages one by one.

She compared the Devil Fruit recorded in this Encyclopedia with the image in her memory, then she shook her head and turned to the next one, and so on.

"I'll help you too."

Jasmine smiled sweetly and then took out an illustrated book and began to look at it carefully.

For a moment, the only sound in the office was the rustling of papers until a familiar picture appeared on the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia in front of Gaza.

"Mythical Zoan … Devil Fruit…"

"Found it!"

"That is the devil fruit we gave to Mr. Gawain!"

Gaza exclaimed and turned the worn-out illustrated book to the last page, only to see a familiar Devil Fruit here.

But the record below the fruit made Gaza's breath pause slightly.

"The Immortal Evil God who made the earth dry up, life wither, and everything enter the realm of death!"

"Once a country turned into a desert and became a forbidden area for living things. Every few hundred years, it will reappear on this sea, looking for its destined host…"

"Hey, isn't this a bit too much?"

Jasmine turned her head to look at the illustrated book in Gaza's hand and curled her lips: "The handwriting here was obviously added later, and the original version should not be like this."

"Maybe it was a prank by a later person."

Jasmine pointed to the place where the Devil Fruit information was recorded.

The handwriting there is obviously different from the printed text in other places, and even the notes are very sloppy.

Gaza took a look and ignored it: "Maybe."

"But Mr. Gawain should not be in a hurry."
