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

"Admiral Krieg's men?"

Kuro nodded and said: "No wonder. Disguising as a Marine to sneak into the harbor and launch an attack from both inside and outside is that guy's specialty. Do you want to do it?"

Gawain shook his head.

"Less trouble is worse than more trouble. That guy's strength is average, but he has a huge fleet of thousands of people. If dozens of ships attack together, it will not be difficult for the two of us to take it down by force, but most of the people on the ship will be lost."

"It's not worth it."

"Hurry up, we'll leave after we've replenished our supplies."

"Okay."

Kuro responded.

Gawain turned to look at Gin, who was still standing on the deck. After they looked at each other, Gin turned and walked towards the cabin.

Gawain quietly activated the badge function and sent a detection:

[Name: Gin]

[Potential: Bronze]

[rating: Iron, I will repay a favor and be extremely loyal!]

Although he has average talent, there is no boss who doesn't like such employees!

"I will repay a favor and be extremely loyal..."

Gawain looked at the keywords on the panel and immediately became interested:

"He has Bronze-level potential, which is almost the same as Kuro. It is also a good experience pack. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely take him in."

"But now I still have to take care of the supply issue first."

After closing the system interface, Gawain left most of the men on the ship to guard against possible accidents and then followed Kuro to find Roux, the contact person Kuro had agreed to meet.

… … ...

On the other side, when Gin returned to the boat, Pearl had woken up from his coma.

Looking at the broken shield and the silent Gin, Pearl instantly realized what had happened and said apologetically: "Gin, I'm sorry."

"It's meaningless to talk about this now. Stay on the boat and recover. Leave the rest to me."

Gin patted Pearl's shoulder, but his mind kept thinking about Nezumi's unusual reaction just now, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

He then took out the Den Den Mushi and dialed a number.

Soon, a deep voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi:

"Gin?"

"Nailed it?"

"No."

Gin shook his head, his tone solemn:

"Besides us, there are two groups of marines who came here."

"One of them is Captain Nezumi, but he has already left and is not a big threat. The real trouble is the other group of people."

"The other party was able to scare Nezumi into incoherent speech before he even made a move."

"Either he's a powerful pirate or a monster from the Grand Line."

"Even judging from their aura, the two leaders on the other side are stronger than me."

"Captain, how about we postpone this operation and wait for the next opportunity?"

Gin asked tentatively.

"Next time?"

There was a sneer from the other end of the phone:

"Gin, do you know how much a fleet of 5,000 people costs in a month? Do you know how long the food on our ship can last? Do you know how much ammunition becomes ineffective every day due to moisture?"

"Fighting is your job, understand?"

Krieg's voice suddenly rose with unparalleled confidence.

"It's not that I don't want to wait, but this road can only move forward and not backward!"

"I own such a huge fleet just to make sure that my voice is the only one on this ocean."

"Dozens of pirate ships can destroy a town with just one salvo. What is the point of individual strength in the face of such a mighty force?"

"Besides, the cannons have already been ready. I don't think anyone can be stronger than me!"

"I see."

Gin nodded. He would never disobey Krieg's orders, even if that meant certain death.

Besides, he agreed with Krieg's words from the bottom of his heart.

In this vast ocean, individual strength has its limits, after all. Mortal flesh cannot withstand swords and bullets, let alone powerful cannons!

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Gin's eyes gradually became sharper.

After counting the people on the boat, he quickly took action and began to explore the large and small troop deployment points and ammunition storage places in the city.

Then, he quietly deployed the ship's key forces at these locations.

At that time, only one order would be needed to directly disintegrate the resistance in the harbor, and even the entire harbor could be easily controlled without any hindrance.

He has done this countless times and has never failed. The results prove Krieg's unique strategic vision.

"This time, we won't be wrong, even if there are other factors!"

Gin calmed down and even led the team himself to investigate the movements of Gawain and others.

… … …

At the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Krieg looked at the information sent back from the harbor and frowned slightly.

Two slightly worn bounty warrants were placed on his desk.

"Captain, based on the information sent back by Gin-sama, we can basically confirm that the other force in the harbor is these two people."

"White Knight Gawain, a bounty of 8 million Belly."

"Kuro of a Hundred Plans, bounty of 14 million Belly."

The assistant standing next to Krieg presented the information he had sorted out and added:

"But."

"We don't have the updated bounty on the ship, and this information may be out of date."

Krieg nodded: "The bounty on pirates won't change much in a few months."

"It's not a big problem."

"Besides, this Gawain only became famous in the past two years, and this Kuro is rumored to have already considered retiring."

"Oh."

Krieg sneered:

"For a pirate, having such thoughts means he is not far from death."

"However, by entering the harbor disguised as the Marines, they probably also want to control Raven Harbor from the inside."

"It will be troublesome if they succeed in advance."

"It's better to strike first! Let's just do it!"

The assistant was stunned: "But Gin-sama and Pearl-sama are still in the harbor. Isn't this a bit…"

A sinister smile appeared on Krieg's lips.

In his eyes, the so-called subordinates are nothing more than consumables. Anyone can be sacrificed as long as the plan can be completed, including Gin, the second-in-command on the ship.

"No problem."

"I believe that with their strength, they will be able to survive the attack."

"If they don't survive, it only means that they are nothing special. Such crew members cannot become my right-hand men!"

The assistant swallowed his saliva, his eyes filled with fear.

He didn't know when he would be ruthlessly abandoned by Krieg like Gin, maybe a long time later or maybe in the next second.

But the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to prove his own worth and the less he dared to disobey Krieg's will.

The assistant was in a state of panic.

Krieg had already turned around, raised his hand, and gently stroked the golden armor placed beside him with an expression of intoxication on his face.

"This armor made of a special alloy is strong enough to withstand close-range attacks from warships and cannons. Even the strongest swordsman cannot cut it off."

"Not to mention that under every piece of armor, there is a deadly weapon."

"Armor-piercing bullets, high-explosive bombs, poison gas bombs, each of which can easily take a person's life, not to mention I still have this!"

Krieg held a spear with one hand. The spear had an exaggerated shape and weighed more than a ton. Feeling the power in it, a strong sense of self-confidence burst out in his eyes:

"The stronger the impact, the stronger the explosion will be…"

"Just relying on this armor, I should have a place even on the Grand Line, let alone a small East Blue?!"

"Who can stop me?!"
