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

"Among the current Warlords, some no longer have the power to suppress an entire sea area." 

"But he is different. The potential he has shown is extraordinary. According to the intelligence we have found, even Hawk Eyes has a different opinion of him."

"If we use someone as a reference, who do you think his final outcome would most likely be like?"

Tsuru was startled and said: "Kaido… the Beast?!"

"Ah, before I knew it, that brat had already shown the talent to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Kaido."

Sengoku gritted his teeth and said: "If we had realized it earlier, we could have sent Sakazuki to nip the problem in the bud."

"It's a pity that we are one step too late now."

"With such a huge size and flying ability, Gawain can not only move and travel freely but also lead the entire team to retreat."

"Except for Borsalino, I can't find anyone in the Marines who can keep him here, and this is based on the condition that he can't sense the danger in advance."

"Whether we are willing to admit it or not, that guy has become a figure to be reckoned with. Now, we need to use the position of Warlord to stabilize him."

"We are even a little lucky. Judging from his previous personality, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would take the initiative to cause conflicts."

While speaking, Sengoku's voice was filled with fatigue.

Tsuru then realized that the man in front of her was not only old but also tired and was just holding on for the sake of the overall situation.

Tsuru couldn't help but wonder; the only thing that came to her mind was a face that was too young.

When did it start?

Donquixote Rosinante, the adopted son of Sengoku.

Eight years ago, he failed in his undercover mission and was killed by Doflamingo himself.

Suddenly, Tsuru finally realized that two of the three men who had fought side by side with her and led an era had lost their families.

Tsuru was silent for a moment.

She forced herself to focus on White Knight Gawain, but her eyes dimmed slightly.

She knew that the threat posed by White Knight Gawain was great, but she never thought that the situation would be so awful.

Mythical Zoan fruit users, especially those of large size and capable of flight, can basically be regarded as aerial fortresses. 

In the era of naval warfare, the importance of air supremacy is self-evident.

Golden Lion, who has dominated the sea for an entire era and is almost uncontrollable, is good proof of this.

In the Edd War, if the timing had not been on Roger's side, the final winner would have been the Golden Lion.

After a few seconds, she took a deep breath and said: "I see."

"I will support your decision."

When the voice entered Sengoku's ears, he paused slightly. He raised his hand to take off his glasses, pressed his moist eyes, and forced himself to swallow all the bitterness in his heart.

After a few seconds, Sengoku opened his eyes again and regained his dignity and domineering momentum as the Fleet Admiral. Then he slapped his palm on the table and scolded loudly: "The Five Elders have already reached a conclusion on this matter."

"I called you here just to inform you, not to discuss."

In front of the conference table, Aokiji took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said nothing in the end. He raised his hand and took off the blindfold on his head.

He knew that the result before him was the best way to deal with the current situation, but he could not accept that this was a direct order from the World Government.

Can justice that is completely controlled by the will of the World Government be really fair?

Kizaru saw his reaction clearly and just lowered his head.

"Zephyr-sensei doesn't like me that much anyway."

"Haa…"

Kizaru sighed lazily.

Everyone gathered around the conference table fell into cold silence for a moment.

Some people's eyes were filled with unconcealable dissatisfaction and anger, believing that this was rubbing the dignity of the Marines into the ground.

Some people also smiled with relief.

Tsuru looked at everyone's reactions, then turned to look at Sengoku. 

Deep in her heart, she whispered: "Sengoku…"

"The Marines have long had more than one voice."

"Even your will cannot override Mary Geoise!"

"Justice…"

"Justice is not absolute!"

After a few minutes, the meeting dispersed.

The decision of the Five Elders gradually spread, and order was restored within the Marines.

Instructions were passed down step by step. The marine officers who had rushed back from all over the world after dropping their tasks chose to return to their posts when they heard the news.

The news of Zephyr's fall caused turmoil within the Marines, but it was eliminated by Mary Geoise's order.

Just two days later.

Before Gawain arrived at Raven Harbor, the news of his appointment as a Warlord had already appeared in the World Government's newspapers.

The person who was replaced by him was the expected person, Gecko Moria.

If he had to choose the one whose strength has declined the most among the seven warlords of the sea, Gecko Moria would be at the top.

This can be seen from his figure.

Although Crocodile was defeated miserably by Whitebeard and lost all his energy, he still retained the ruthlessness that belonged to a pirate.

But looking at the entire Thriller Bark in the manga, the most profound thing anyone can see from Moria is only fear.

The fear that is engraved into the bones and seeps into the soul.

Obviously, Kaido not only defeated him in battle but also shattered his spirit.

This has not changed since he was stripped of his status as a Warlord after the Summit War of Marineford.

Only when Absalom actually fell before his eyes would it be possible to regain his former spirit through hatred.

Gawain sat on the deck and read the newspaper in his hand. He marveled at the speed of the Marines's actions, but at the same time, a hint of sarcasm rose in his heart.

"When I tried my best to avoid direct conflict with the Marines, Smoker dared to speak in front of me. Now that I let go of myself, he can't even stand in front of me."

"It seems that both the World Government and the Marines are bitches who prefer to be fucked rather than licked."

"A dog licker gets nothing in the end."

With these thoughts surging in his mind, Gawain raised his hand and threw a few newspapers into the sea, then turned to look at Zephyr, who had been released by him, and said calmly: "I'll keep this ship."

"If you want to leave, you can find a harbor nearby, and I'll drop you off."

To Gawain's surprise, Zephyr shook his head and said: "I heard from that person named Issho that Raven Harbor is different from other places. I want to go and see how different a harbor ruled by pirates would be."

"I'll go and verify whether what he said is real or fake."

"To be honest, I don't hate you, I'm even a little grateful to you, but even now, I don't think the Marines are wrong."

Gawain was slightly stunned, and the smile on his face became deeper, even to the point where he could no longer suppress it, and finally…

"Hahaha!"

A burst of unruly and wild laughter rang out on the deck and lasted for dozens of seconds before slowly stopping.

Gawain raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his eyes and said: "Then you should go and have a look."

"Go and listen to the real voice of this world."

"I am now very curious; what would your reaction be if you knew the truest side of this world?"

"What kind of disturbance will this cause within the Marines?"

At the same time, in Paradise.

Florian Triangle.

Gecko Moria looked at the newspaper he had just received. His eyes fell on the front page headline, and his knuckles turned white due to exerting too much force.

Along with the newspaper arrived a brand new reward.

Former Warlord Gecko Moria, a bounty of 320 million Belly.

The unchanged bounty was tantamount to an insult to the warlord. After all, if he was at his peak strength, the bounty would probably have to be increased several times.

But now the attitude of the World Government has already written contempt on its face.

Gecko Moria became angrier as he thought about it, his voice becoming a little hoarse: "My position has been replaced by a newcomer?!"

"Bastards!"

Several subordinates surrounded Gecko Moria; all of them looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Captain, what to do now?"

Hogback's face showed undisguised fear: "Once we lose the title of Warlord, we will inevitably face the encirclement and suppression of the Marines. The man called Brook caused a big fuss on the ship before, and the zombies lost have not yet recovered."
