NOVEL WEB Chapter 67: Live, My Knight!
"No, don't tell me... This thing is more interesting than I thought!"
"It's just that the actor they found doesn't really match the captain."
"Is this the captain's past experience? It was directly made into a movie. It's so legendary that it's unparalleled."
"The princess is so beautiful."
"This actress is no good. I saw the Princess's real photo in the newspaper. She is ten times more beautiful than her!"
"Hiss! The captain is so lucky."
Everyone watched and commented and even looked at Gawain mischievously from time to time.
Seeing that he had a sullen face and said nothing, they immediately became happier.
"No, what's the point of this kind of thing?"
The veins on Gawain's forehead were throbbing.
Zoro, Kuro, and Gin were seriously injured. Even with the help of the Badge, it will take two or three days for them to recover.
He can't gain experience during this time.
So, he thought about holding a party so that everyone could relax.
Who knew that Nami suddenly suggested showing everyone a movie, and he agreed without thinking too much.
It turns out that this bastard is waiting here.
Logically speaking, he could have just run away, but these bastards locked the cabin door and insisted on doing this.
He can't just jump into the sea, right?
Gawain turned his head and took a look at the lifebuoy that had been put away long ago. He immediately gave up the idea and could only let them do whatever they wanted.
He got goosebumps all over his body out of embarrassment, and now he was feeling regretful, extremely regretful!
Amid the laughter of the crowd, Gawain felt that the seconds passing by were like years.
He finally managed to hold on until the end of the movie.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the deck became deserted.
Only then did Gawain breathe a sigh of relief.
Nami suddenly walked up to him and asked mischievously: "Captain, what is the past between you and Princess Guinevere?"
"Is it really like in the movies?"
Gawain thought about it and realized that with this crappy movie, the things left behind by his predecessor would only become more and more outrageous, so he might as well take the initiative to explain it himself.
After a brief recollection, he said: "I can no longer remember her woman's face. I only remember the last order she gave me."
"She said."
"I want you to live well and live at all costs because only when you are alive, there is hope."
"She also said."
"She is the most favored princess. Even the king won't do anything to her."
Nami was stunned and subconsciously clenched her sleeves: "Then what?"
Gawain paused and continued: "I believe it."
"She fled with her men, and three months later, I heard the news that she had been executed."
"A year ago, I led my men to the Kingdom of Goa for revenge, but the king who ordered her execution died of illness a few days before I started the action, and the prince named Sterry inherited the throne."
"That's about it."
Gawain was slightly stunned when he said this: "What's wrong with you?"
Nami's eyes were already red, and she bit her lips tightly, looking like she was about to cry. "Captain, I'm sorry, I didn't know your past would be like this..."
"Uooa…"
The next second, Nami burst into tears, as big as beans rolling down her eyes.
She was so moved that Gawain was in a state of panic.
The soul of his previous life had long dissipated, and Gawain had no special feelings for that woman. If he had any, it was gratitude.
After all, if she hadn't saved his predecessor, he wouldn't have had the chance to come here.
But Nami obviously didn't think so: "The princess is so pitiful."
Gawain was a little overwhelmed and subconsciously spoke to comfort her: "It's all in the past."
"Um."
Nami nodded heavily and rubbed her eyes: "From now on, you have me, Deputy Captain Kuro, Gin, and the newcomer, Zoro."
"We'll keep you company."
Gawain was stunned and reached out to touch Nami's head, with something else in his mind: "Ah."
"How could I possibly fall before I found my treasure?"
Gawain thought of Gaimon's question that day and then looked at Nami in front of him. He seemed to have found his answer.
… … …
Gawain's subsequent voyage was smooth sailing.
After recovering their energy, Kuro and the others started training again.
With the previous lessons learned, the three of them restrained themselves this time, but not much. At most, they managed to stay in a state where they would be able to get up the next day.
Zoro, who had just joined the group, felt that he seemed to have endless energy.
In the past, he could only practice for twelve hours before collapsing due to exhaustion. Now, with the training volume almost doubled, he can maintain a similar length of time.
After some fruitless thinking, he simply attributed it all to his extraordinary talent.
Now, in the training room.
Zoro felt the changes in his body, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up: "Now it seems that it may take me less than three years to reach Gawain's level!"
Kuro glanced at him and said calmly: "You're still a long way from there!"
"That guy wasn't serious in his fight with you. He didn't use either his Pussyfoot Maneuver or his Observation Haki."
"Pussyfoot Maneuver? Observation Haki?"
Zoro was slightly stunned when he heard the new term from Kuro, but there was no sign of discouragement on his face: "After all, he is known as the number one swordsman in the East Blue. How can he do this without great strength?!"
"Only people like this are worthy of making me stay here."
"Snort!"
Kuro snorted coldly: "Arrogant little brat!"
"Old guy, aren't you just waiting to be surpassed by the newcomer?"
Zoro did not give in.
During the few days they spent together, although they often bickered, their relationship became much closer.
They have a great recognition of each other's will.
At the side, Gin looked at the two people bickering and continued his training silently.
These days, he trains with Kuro and Zoro, so it is not difficult for him to feel that his progress is far slower than theirs.
Especially compared to Zoro, at his current growth rate, he will be able to catch up with him in a few months.
This also gave him an inexplicable sense of urgency.
He didn't want to be like Jango, the Nyaban Brothers, and other companions, who had to stay in the East Blue because they couldn't keep up with Gawain's pace.
The experiences during this period were not many, but they touched him far more than following Krieg for several years.
This man is different; he wants to be his right-hand man!
Thinking of this, Gin gritted his teeth and practiced even more rigorously than Zoro.
The three of them chased each other.
In the end, Gawain naturally benefited from it.
When the pirate ship arrived at Pala Island, his swordsmanship and physique had improved by one level, reaching Level 7 and Level 8, respectively.
Even Pussyfoot Maneuver has gone a step further and upgraded to Level 4. As long as he upgrades one more level, he will be able to awaken exclusive features like in the Physique and Swordsmanship.
The Pussyfoot Maneuver, which specializes in speed, will inevitably bring speed-related entries.
Gawain is very much looking forward to this.
