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

As the sound landed, the scene fell silent for a moment.

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Sanji, and it seemed as if a cat was flying through the air, howling.

Kuro, Gin, and Zoro couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Sanji, all with expressions as if they had eaten shit.

The corner of Kuro's mouth twitched: "Is this guy an idiot?"

"Absolutely!"

Zoro nodded sharply.

Gin frowned and touched his chin: "I'm wondering if it was a wrong decision for Mr. Gawain to recruit this guy, even though he is indeed a first-rate cook."

Amid the discussions of the crowd, only Gawain's mouth curled up slightly, unable to suppress it at all.

Look, the fish has taken the bait, hasn't it?!

It took him a lot of effort not to laugh out loud, and he looked at Sanji calmly: "Certainly."

"This is a completely reasonable request."

"After all, even the best chef would feel the pressure of having to cook for everyone alone."

"You…"

Before Gawain could finish his words, Sanji in front of him had already turned around and ran towards the training room.

Bang!

The door to the conference room was knocked open.

Everyone couldn't help but look back and see smoke and dust on the ground in the distance. 

Amid the sound of Sanji's footsteps as fast as raindrops, a few words could be vaguely heard: "Beautiful chefs!"

Now, even Gawain couldn't help but remain silent. It wasn't because he was worried that Sanji wasn't working hard, but because he was worried that this bastard would ruin himself.

Then Gawain remembered the hidden power in Sanji's body, and he was instantly relieved.

After all, in the manga, in the later period of the Straw Hat Pirates, after Sanji awakened his dormant genetic enchantment, his ability to resist damage alone was ranked among the best, even in the New World.

Facing Queen's slash head-on and repairing the twisted bones all over his body with fists are just small scenes. 

It is really reasonable that this guy can even withstand Admiral Kizaru's laser.

To be honest, whether he's willing to admit it or not, Sanji's combat performance was significantly different from Zoro's after they entered the New World.

As a result, during the battle at Wano Country, Sanji directly activated the Lineage factor left by his cheap father and caught up with the opponent in one go.

The life of cheating is so simple and unpretentious.

Gawain turned to the rest of the group:

"And let me add one more thing."

"Starting from the first martial arts tournament, a hall of fame will be established in the Pirate crew. The top three in each session can leave their names on the stone tablet."

Kuro was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "What if I can be in the top three or even first in every session?"

"Then your name will be on every Hall of Fame list."

Gawain spoke calmly, but he was secretly delighted.

Ranking on the list plus limited-time titles plus rare rewards, this combination has been almost played out to death by those pay-to-win mobile games, so much so that many people just swipe away when they see it.

But for these people in this world, it is the first time.

Kuro's breathing suddenly became heavier, and the fighting spirit in his eyes burned wildly.

He had been secretly planning to defeat Gawain and take the top position. Even if he failed to defeat Gawain, he would still consider himself the second best. How could he tolerate anyone other than Gawain ranking above him?

"Damn it!"

"That yellow-haired brat got there first!"

"He has been training for several minutes before me. Doesn't that mean he will become stronger faster than me?"

"It's fine to lose to Gawain, but how can I lose to someone else?"

The next moment.

Whoosh!

A piercing sound was heard in the conference room, and Kuro's figure disappeared instantly.

Before everyone could even react, they saw the door that had just been closed suddenly explode, and a figure disappeared from sight with billowing smoke.

Seeing what Kuro was like Gin and even Zoro, who had just regained his mobility, could no longer sit still: "This is about a man's dignity! How can I lose?!"

"My name must be in the Hall of Fame!"

The two of them shouted at the same time, turned around, and disappeared quickly.

Seeing this, Gawain nodded with satisfaction.

As expected, forcing them by force is far less effective than stimulating their own desires.

Seeing that the main targets had already left and the arrangements for the subsequent martial arts conference had been basically notified, Gawain simply waved his hand and let everyone disperse.

Compared to when they came, there was a flame burning in everyone's eyes.

"I don't want the hall of fame, devil fruit, or famous sword anymore. Those are reserved for the deputy captain and Gin. But the dividend rights are real!"

"That's right. With the current income, 30% would be hundreds of millions of Belly. Even if 1% falls on us, it would be one million!"

"This, this, this... This is far from the limit! With Captain Gawain's means, this number will increase several times or even dozens of times!"

"Hiss!"

"No! I can't fall behind others. I, I, I have to go training."

After speaking, a bald, middle-aged pirate with a big belly pulled up his trousers, took a step forward, and walked towards the public training place.

He didn't walk many steps before stopping to catch his breath, but he only stood there for a few seconds before running again.

The same is true for almost everyone around Gawain.

Just half an hour after the meeting ended, shouts from everyone from all over Pala Island could be heard.

A group of pirates were shirtless and training in various places on their own initiative.

In the exclusive training room, the three, no, four people gritted their teeth and competed with each other, fearing that they would fall behind if they were a little slow.

They have to fight for it!

Having their name in the hall of fame means that anyone who joins the ship later will be able to see at a glance the status of each person in the Pirate crew.

Who can tolerate this?

"Oh."

"There is only so much space here. You should go out, senior. The elderly need more rest and maintenance."

Zoro held a huge dumbbell in one hand, enduring the pain from the wound and swinging it wildly.

Seeing this, Kuro did not give in: "The injured should just take good care of themselves and not suffer from any sequelae that will affect their lives!"

"Um?"

The two bickering men stopped at the same time and turned around to find that Gin and Sanji had silently added an extra weight to their exercise.

"Hateful!"

"You are so cunning!"

"Hehe."

Gin smiled without saying anything and buried his head in his training.

Sanji on the side raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face and kicked the surrounding humanoid targets like whips while speaking incoherently:

"Beautiful chefs, no, it's the hall of fame, the hall of fame, no, it's the beautiful chefs!"

"Right!"

"Beautiful chefs!"

"Beautiful chefs!"

...

The corners of Kuro's mouth twitched, and he automatically ignored Sanji's words.

For a while, Pala Island has been filled with a passionate atmosphere.

Only Nami seemed a little at a loss. 

Looking at everyone's enthusiastic training, she felt inexplicably anxious.

"Everyone is getting stronger, I... I have to do something, too."

She knew that she had no talent in combat and that her greatest value lay in her seamanship.

But when she thought about how her weak self would become a burden to her companions after entering the Grand Line, Nami could not help but bite her lips.

She looked at Gawain's office, her eyes gradually becoming firmer.

On the other side, Gawain toured Pala Island and nodded with satisfaction.

Especially when passing by the training room, he saw four leeks rolling with all their might, and he felt even more satisfied for a moment.

"I should have a good harvest tonight."
