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

Chapter 85: Guiding Nami's Training



As night fell, the lights on Pala Island were bright.

A group of pirates gathered around the bonfire with their bare chests, training the basic swordsmanship that Gawain had taught them before.

Even though many people were exhausted after a whole day of practice, they did not have the slightest intention of giving up.

After all, there are exactly one hundred people who can participate in the dividend distribution, and all the people in the entire Pirate crew together only amount to more than two hundred people.

In other words, as long as they work hard, there is more than a one-third chance of getting dividend rights. How can this not be exciting?

For a moment, everyone was fighting for their lives.

In this kind of atmosphere, even some people who were originally intending to give up could not help but join the big group and start to train madly.

"The environment really does affect people's will."

Gawain sat at his desk, looking at the lights in the harbor and the sweaty crowd, and nodded silently: "It's better to curl it a little bit, it's better to curl it a little bit."

Then, a familiar system prompt sounded directly in Gawain's mind:

"Physique experience +711!"

"Swordsmanship experience +443!"

"Pussyfoot Maneuver experience +61"

"Observation-Haki experience +103!"

"How much has the Physique's experience increased?"

Gawain scratched his ears, called up the system panel, glanced at the increase in various data, and laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

"When Sanji trains up, my Physique experience gain has tripled?!"

"Not only that, the experience of Pussyfoot Maneuver and Observation Haki has increased significantly."

"Even the swordsmanship experience provided by Zoro, who's seriously injured, remains the same? Won't there be more when his injury heals?"

"Some of them may be brought by ordinary pirates, but there won't be many of them. The main ones are the four liver kings."

Gawain thought about it for a moment, and the smile on his face widened.

At this rate, it would take less than half a month for both Physique and swordsmanship to reach level 10, and then a whole new branch of features would be awakened.

Gawain has experienced the benefits of the feature many times, and each time, it brings about a qualitative change.

Both Physique and swordsmanship are the core of his combat power, and the impact of branch features will only be greater.

"In the future, I will focus my energy on Armament Haki."

"As for awakening the Armament Haki of Kuro and the others, I still need to wait until they have strong enough physiques before making any plans."

"No rush for now."

Thinking of this, Gawain had a basic idea of ​​the direction of future development. He suppressed his expectations for the new feature, washed up briefly, and turned off the lights in the room.

The next day, Gawain changed into loose clothes and prepared to go to the back mountain to practice Armament Haki. 

When he opened the door, he found Nami standing at the door anxiously with two bamboo swords in her arms.

Seeing Gawain coming out, Nami's eyes lit up, and she bowed and said:

"Mr. Gawain, please teach me how to become stronger."

Gawain was stunned and reminded: "Nami, everyone has areas they excel in. Combat is your weakness, and navigation is where you can shine."

In fact, even if you read the manga, Nami herself is not the type who is good at fighting.

Even in the battle against Kalifa, she relied on the Clima-Tact made by Usopp and tactical crushing to defeat her opponent.

Gawain had already detected Nami's potential in combat, but unfortunately, she was only at the iron level in this regard.

With such talent, no matter how much effort one puts into combat, the best she can achieve is the level that Gawain just crossed over to.

If she really wants to become stronger, it is far less efficient than eating a devil fruit.

Facing Gawain's persuasion, Nami remains unshaken:

"I don't want to be a burden to you. At least I need to be able to protect myself when facing increasingly powerful opponents in the future."

Gawain wanted to continue to persuade, but when he saw Nami's firm eyes, he nodded: "I see."

"I can teach you my swordsmanship, but this path will be very difficult for you. If there is a suitable devil fruit in the future, I will help you keep an eye out."

"Okay!"

Nami responded excitedly, and then she followed Gawain to the back mountain of Pala Island.

On a stone wall on the back mountain of Pala Island, the surrounding rocks were covered with dense cuts that were extremely deep and long, some of which almost cut through the entire mountain.

Nami was shocked: "Is this what you left behind from your training, captain?"

"That's not the point."

Gawain skipped the topic and took a bamboo sword from Nami, then began to explain the basics of swordsmanship:

"Swordsmanship has many styles and types, and the styles of various schools and swordsmen are completely different, but the ultimate goal they pursue is the same."

"That is to hit the opponent before they hit you!"

"My own style is to pursue this kind of extremely high efficiency..."

After some explanation, seeing that Nami was confused, Gawain simply gave up.

After teaching her the basic sword-holding posture, actual combat began. 

After all, the body's memory is often much deeper than the brain's.

"Now, hit me with your sword!"

Nami gripped the bamboo sword tightly in her hand, clenched her teeth, took a step forward, and chopped down at Gawain with the bamboo sword in her hand!

Bang!

Gawain picked up Nami's bamboo sword and hit her head with it: "The intention is too obvious!"

"Try to observe your opponent's small movements and judge his next move!"

Bang!

"I'm asking you to observe, not to be a wooden man!"

Bang!

"You had the foresight but didn't get the timing right for the attack, and your body movements were too stiff!"

… … … 

When the sunset, Nami lay on her back on the stone slab, breathing heavily.

She looked extremely disheveled, and her clothes were already soaked with sweat, outlining her beautiful figure.

Even with the blessing of Gawain's badge, which reduced the crew's physical exertion and accelerated recovery, her body was already at its limit.

"Thanks!"

"Mr. Gawain!"

In one day, she hadn't even reached the threshold of swordsmanship, but the feeling of gradually becoming stronger made her feel extremely secure.

At least she won't be a burden to her companions in the future.

"Well."

Gawain waved his hand: "We'll continue tomorrow!"

Then Gawain turned around, found another place, and began to practice Armament Haki.

At the same time, in the training room, Kuro and Gin stood opposite each other, one holding a Cat Claws and the other holding a Tonfa, doing practical training.

Whoosh!

Kuro took a step forward and disappeared into the air in an instant. He unfolded his five-finger and rushed towards Gin.

Bang!

The Cat Claws and Tonfa collided, sparks flew, and a series of intensive confrontations followed.

Kuro, who had started his Pussyfoot Maneuver, seemed to be everywhere. His intensive offensive brought Gin far more pressure than before, so much so that Gin's hands, which were tightly holding the Tonfa, were shaking constantly.

The stalemate between the two sides lasted only a few dozen seconds. Kuro seized the opportunity and kicked Gin away, knocking him against the wall.

Bang!

Even though Kuro tried to slow down his strength, the impact from the high speed was still too strong, and Gin was unable to handle it for a while.

After trying for a while, Gin, who still couldn't get up, gave up struggling, lay on his back on the ground, looking at the ceiling, and muttered: "Has the gap widened?"

"I really can't accept this!"
