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

In mid-air, Gin's body blocked Gawain's view and Krieg's ferocious expression.

Krieg covered his wound with one hand, raised his intact arm, bent his fingers slightly, and pulled the trigger hidden inside…

Bang!

Sharp armor-piercing bullets shot out from the mechanism inside Krieg's arm armor at a speed so fast that a noticeable sonic boom was heard in the air.

This is a weapon designed specifically for breaking through enemy armor and even warships. It can easily penetrate even ten-centimeter-thick steel plates.

Krieg didn't think anyone could survive this blow, especially since it was a sneak attack.

He wants to pierce through both of them with one blow!

"Die!"

As Krieg grinned, Gawain's figure suddenly disappeared.

A silver-white light flashed in the air, and the sharp Flying Slash cut the bullet in the middle and, penetrating Krieg's body, the speed did not slow down, and it cut through the sea surface and disappeared at the end of the sight.

It was only at this moment that Gin's body fell to the ground with a bang. He also completely lost consciousness after seeing Krieg's body split in half from the middle.

Gawain's attention was completely attracted by the sword in his hand.

The feeling of using it as if it were an extension of his arm was something that even the knight's sword that had accompanied its predecessor for several years had never felt before, and it went straight to the depths of the soul.

"It's not that Krieg's armor is not strong enough, but Guanze Masamune is too sharp. Just the flying slash has such power!"

"It's like cutting iron like mud."

"From today on, we are partners!"

"Guanze Masamune!"

There was a slight sound coming from the sword in his hand.

This also made Gawain more convinced that these 21 Great Grade Blades that were highly sought after in the world of One Piece all possessed self-will in a certain sense.

Whoosh!

After shaking off the blood on the blade, Gawain turned around and faced the fleet in the distance.

On the sea, dozens of pirate ships stopped completely the moment they witnessed Krieg's defeat.

The lookouts looked at the scene here and were so shocked that they were speechless.

Especially when they saw the body lying in the harbor, neatly cut in half, they felt a horror that came from the bottom of their soul.

"The captain... The captain is dead!"

"Gin-sama was also defeated, and his life or death is unknown. What should we do?"

"Fight or flight?"

Panic spread from the harbor all the way to the pirate ship. Krieg, who once had an invincible image in their hearts, died so miserably that no one knew what they should do next.

In just a moment, the fleet that covered the sea turned around and left at a much faster speed than when it came but found thick smoke billowing on the sea in the distance.

Everyone's vision was completely blocked by the white smoke, and only the roar of the engine was getting louder and louder.

"What is that? When did the fog rise over the sea?"

"No! It's smoke!"

"No, it's from that person, a man riding a bike with three wheels. Damn, his whole body is made of white smoke!"

Accompanied by the exclamations of the Krieg pirates.

A strangely shaped bike with three wheels sailed at the sea in the distance, raising waves several meters high behind it.

At the same time, everyone also saw the figure of the person coming.

He had strong features, a ferocious look, and a head full of short white hair without a single eyebrow.

He had two cigars between his lips, and his open clothes inadvertently revealed his strong body. 

It is none other than Smoker, the marine known as the White Hunter!

He graduated from the Marine School several years ago but did not choose to stay in the Marine Headquarters like his peers. Instead, he came to Loguetown alone to serve as the last line of defense for the East Blue Marines.

Looking at the fleeing Krieg pirates in the distance, Smoker frowned slightly. 

Just as he was feeling puzzled, his eyes met with Gawain, who was standing in the harbor with a sword, and sparks flickered faintly in the air.

"White Knight Gawain? That guy, Nezumi, actually caught a big fish!"

Smoker immediately understood why the Krieg pirates were defeated so easily.

After all, in most cases, the bounty of a pirate is equivalent to combat power.

This is especially true when Krieg, whose bounty is worth 15 million, faces a man whose bounty is three times his!

After a moment of hesitation, Smoker made up his mind.

Focus on the big and let go of the small.

Without Krieg's leadership, the remaining members of Krieg pirates would never amount to anything.

But Gawain is different. The threat he poses alone is greater than that of all the pirates present combined!

Seeing the bike with the Marines logo whizzing by, the pirates present couldn't help but feel a little relieved that they had survived the disaster.

Just because they recognized the identity of the person who came.

"That guy is Smoker, the White Hunter, a monster guarding Loguetown!"

"For so many years, no pirate has been able to enter the Grand Line. The biggest reason is that they can't get past him!"

"According to the survivors, that guy ate a devil fruit and gained the ability to turn into smoke, making him invulnerable!"

"Swords or guns can't hurt his body. There's no way... There's no way to fight him at all!"

"We... We..."

"Run!"

The Krieg pirates, who had already lost all their will to fight because of Gawain's presence, now fled in all directions like crazy.

Gawain looked up into the distance, and the only thing in his sight was Smoker, who was getting closer.

If there is still an opponent in East Blue who can inspire him to fight but against whom he is helpless, Smoker in front of him is definitely on the list.

After all, he's a Logia devil fruit user!

Even the weakest Logia devil fruit user can run rampant in front of those who can't use Armament Haki.

You should know that after One Piece enters the Grand Line, the first two bosses are both Logia fruit users and their oppressive feelings are far greater than those of Lucci in Water 7 and Gecko Moria in Thriller Bark.

All he can say is that if Luffy hadn't found their weakness and hadn't eaten the Nika Fruit, the Straw Hat Pirates would never have been able to pass these two levels.

"Here comes a troublesome guy."

Gawain frowned.

If it were just him, there would be no problem in getting away.

But now that Kuro is seriously injured and there are subordinates disguised as marines in the harbor, he can't just take care of himself and let Smoker easily take over Raven Harbor.

Thinking of this, Gawain took out the Den Den Mushi and called Kuro:

"Kuro, listen to me now. Krieg is dead but a formidable guy, and I can only hold him back temporarily."

"There are still marines in the East Blue that you can't handle?"

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Kuro, who had just bandaged his wound, frowned gradually, and it was obvious that he also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Gawain continued: "At least before I mastered the Armament Haki, that guy's ability was a dimensionality reduction attack for us."

"What do you need me to do?"

"He is in the harbor, and our ship has been burned. You will definitely not be able to go out to sea."

"Go find lord Gaza first. She will find a way to help you find a hiding place."

Kuro nodded:

"Okay!"
