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

Arlong covered his eyes with one hand and laughed loudly. He only stopped when Kuroobi looked a little uneasy.

"Eighty-five million?!"

"In a place like the New World, such a bounty can't even support a pirate flag."

"Besides, even if I don't want to admit it, my bounty has not increased over the years because of that guy, Nezumi. Otherwise, it would have exceeded that number long ago…"

"What kind of strong people can be born in such a barren land as the East Blue? Or are humans born to be enslaved by the Fish-Men…"

Arlong sneered.

Kuroobi on the side also nodded when he heard this.

After staying at the East Blue for several years, countless pirates who once dominated a region were ultimately defeated miserably when faced with the sharp teeth and claws of the Fish-Men.

The continuous victories also gave them confidence beyond imagination.

"But such a high bounty while still in the East Blue…"

Arlong frowned slightly. Out of caution, he took the bounty from Kuroobi. After a moment of hesitation, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"I know who this guy is."

"White Knight Gawain, a former knight of the Kingdom of Goa, is said to have slept with the princess and is wanted. The bounty offered at the Underworld was as high as 50 million Belly."

"The sudden increase in bounty may be related to this. After all, in the East Blue, which kingdom noble has no connection with the Marines?!"

Kuroobi nodded. 

Hearing Arlong's words, Kuroobi completely let go of his guard.

After taking a closer look at the bounty, he finally realized what was going on: "Is not this the story that Nami likes the most?!"

"Ah."

Arlong grinned: "Once Nami's matter is settled, we will go there. After all, it is a head worth 85 million."

"Shahahahaha."

In the office, there was a burst of shrill laughter, and the people passing by quietly lowered their heads and quickly left.

… … …

A few days later.

The wind is cool, the waves are mild, the sky is high, and the clouds are light. 

A small pirate ship with a flag bearing the striking emblem of a round shield in the background and a carved skull on the shield is particularly eye-catching as it sails across the sea.

Pirates who are familiar with the situation in the East Blue will flee the moment they see this flag.

This is because the owner of this flag is the man with the highest bounty in the East Blue and is even known as the number one swordsman in the East Blue.

White knight, Gawain.

Gawain was sitting on the deck at the moment, looking at the undulating sea in the distance, but his attention was focused on the system panel.

Recently, Kuro and Gin secretly competed with each other. 

Even during the voyage, they continued to practice in the training room.

If you practice for twelve hours, I will practice for thirteen hours. My main goal is to practice to the death as long as I can.

The two worked tirelessly, and of course, it all benefited Gawain in the end.

In just one week, his physique gained more than a thousand experience points, and his Pussyfoot Maneuver and Observation-Haki also grew significantly.

Although there is still a clear distance to go before promotion, who can not love such hard-working employees?

The only flaw is probably that with the huge consumption of practice, the two people's food appetites have increased several times.

The direct consequence of this was that there was not enough food on the ship.

A pirate dressed as a chef walked out of the cabin quickly and said to Gawain with a slightly embarrassed look: "Captain, we only have enough food left to last for three days. If we continue sailing without any supplies, I'm afraid…"

Gawain nodded: "No problem."

"There is a harbor a few hundred nautical miles away that isn't supervised by the Marines. We can go there to replenish food and fresh water."

"Understood."

The pirate dressed as a chef finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, turned around, and went into the cabin to prepare today's dinner.

The ship turned and headed towards the nearby Dia harbor.

The sky gradually darkened, and a sudden cry came from the pirate standing on the watchtower. "Captain, there's a boat over there!"

"Damn it, how could something like that possibly sail on the sea?!"

"It's a woman!"

Gawain heard the sound and looked into the distance.

In the distance, a young girl was sitting on a small boat. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a youthful face and short orange hair.

From Gawain's perspective, he could even see the girl's pale face and chapped lips. 

It was obvious that she had not had a drop of water for some time. If she did not get timely supplies, death would be a matter of time.

Gawain was slightly stunned, and just then, he connected the girl in front of him with the image in his mind.

"Although she is much younger than I remembered, it is definitely Nami."

"It was a piece of cake."

Gawain smiled and turned to look at the helmsman: "Come closer!"

A few minutes later.

Nami sat on the deck, gulped down several large bowls of fresh water, and ate some bread and oranges before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm saved."

She then turned to look at Gawain, revealing a grateful expression: "Thank you, kind sir."

"As long as I can repay you, I would do anything."

Gawain glanced at Nami's flat chest and immediately felt bored: "If you want to repay me, why not join board my ship? I need a good navigator."

Nami was slightly stunned.

Does he know her information?

No, only the people in the Arlong pirates and the village knew that she drew the sea chart for Arlong. She must have misunderstood.

But Carina was not found, so this pirate group should have a lot of treasures, and perhaps she can collect enough to pay the ransom to Arlong.

Thinking of this, Nami gritted her teeth secretly but showed an obsessed expression to Gawain: "It's my honor to serve as a crew member for such a handsome and kind captain like you."

"May I have your name?"

Nami's lips curled up: "My name is Carina."

Gawain immediately understood what Nami was planning.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Coming here for the second time after stealing before?

You really think I'm a fat sheep, don't you?

The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. As long as you don't leave the Cocoyasi Village, you can't escape from my palm.

Gawain smiled and said: "My name is Lancelot."

The people who had just walked onto the deck were slightly stunned but did not interrupt Gawain.

Kuro, who was familiar with Gawain's ways, took a step forward, nodded to Nami, and said:

"My name is Locke, and I'm the deputy captain of this pirate group."

Without waiting for Gawain to interrupt, Kuro continued: "We just had a fierce battle with the White Knight Pirate. Fortunately, we escaped quickly and did not suffer too many casualties."

Gawain: "... "

Okay, okay, that's how you want to play, right?!

Just wait for me. Next time, I won't let you speak first.

Kuro ignored Gawain's murderous look and quietly retreated behind Gin.

The psychological trauma left by the last incident was so great that he was slightly wary of Gawain's style.

Now, take a look.

Oh, as expected.

Gin looked at the two people with strange expressions, and especially after hearing the familiar lines, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he introduced himself:

"My name is Gin, and I'm cadre of this pirate group."

Nami looked at the three people with gratitude, and her eyes immediately stopped at Gawain's face: "Captain, why do you look familiar to me?"

"Yeah?"

Gawain reached out and touched his face, worried that Nami would notice something, so he subconsciously explained: "I've always been told that I look like a star."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Nami nodded repeatedly: "That's the one... The charming princess falls in love with the hero in the story of the loyal knight!"
