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

Jasmine showed a mournful expression on her face and handed a financial report to Gaza with trembling fingers. 

After a brief glance, the latter also breathed deeply: "Suffering two attacks in succession, our money has basically been used for disaster relief and harbor reconstruction. We have already spent most of our money."

"If this continues, I'm afraid even the shipyard will be delayed."

"No!"

"At the shipyard, there cannot be any mistakes regarding Mr. Gawain's plan to enter the Grand Line."

Gaza frowned: "Has the payment owed by the royal family of the Kingdom of Goa not yet been settled?"

When the Kingdom of Goa was mentioned, not only Gaza's face turned livid, but even Jasmine on the side showed an unhappy expression.

"There have been too many things going on in the harbor in the past few months, and we don't have time to pay attention to the affairs of the Kingdom of Goa."

"But before that, all the people we sent were kicked out by them, and even a few workers were imprisoned at will."

"It took me a lot of effort just to fish them out."

Jasmine gritted her teeth and said: "How do we expect them to pay back?"

Gaza sighed and said: "Let's send someone to try it again."

"Miss…"

Jasmine's face fell, but seeing the tiredness on Gaza's face, she immediately changed her words: "Forget it, I'll let someone try again."

Gaza nodded, but in her heart, she had no expectations for this.

She still knew what kind of person the royal family of the Kingdom of Goa was.

Their position itself is not correct.

After the death of the old king, the legitimate princes died one after another, but the last one who succeeded him was someone who had no blood connection with the royal family.

If there is nothing fishy in this, it can only be said to be a lie.

But after all, the other party is a member of the World Government, and it involves too much, and Gaza is also a little wary.

Gaza still had no clue, so she waved to Jasmine to go down and rest early while she looked at the financial report in her hand.

It wasn't until dawn that she suddenly remembered something.

"The first Martial Arts Tournament!"

"Didn't Mr. Gawain plan to hold a fair duel within the ship?"

"If this matter can be normalized and even open to contestants to compete together, we will definitely be able to attract more tourists from all walks of life to Raven Harbor to revitalize it."

"Direct ticket revenue is secondary, but more importantly, it can directly benefit surrounding businesses through this method."

Gaza felt that something the more she thought about it.

Regardless of her physical fatigue, she stood up, opened the door, and walked towards Gawain's residence.

After a few minutes, at the edge of Raven Harbor.

Gawain and Kuro sit in the tavern while listening as Gaza tells her plans, commonly known as painted cakes, and possible subsequent benefits.

Just when Gaza was talking about it, she was interrupted by Kuro: "Such a grand plan requires a lot of investment in the early stage, right?!"

Gaza's face turned red; she looked at Gawain as if asking for help and said urgently: "Mr. Gawain, as long as this thing is done well, it will be a business that is sure to make money without losing money. After that, Raven Harbor will be revitalized."

"At that time, our profits will only get higher and higher."

Gawain looked at Gaza and said: "Raven Harbor is short of money right now?"

Gaza was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Gawain could see through her embarrassment at this moment. 

She could only nod helplessly: "Two consecutive attacks have consumed almost all the cash in Raven Harbor, and the debt owed by the Kingdom of Goa has also not been repaid."

"The king even acted like a douchebag."

"If this continues, let alone the harbor being unable to operate normally, even your shipbuilding plan will be affected."

Gawain suddenly sat up straight and frowned slightly: "This plan of yours takes too long. By the time it actually generates profits, your capital chain will have been broken."

"If the gap is not big, we can help you fill it temporarily."

Kuro sighed and said: "We need to reserve enough funds for shipbuilding. Besides, captain, you spent a lot of money to place those wounded companions before."

"There isn't much left now, and there will only be more places to spend money in the future."

As he spoke, Kuro's voice paused slightly, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind: "It is not impossible unless a large amount of funds can be withdrawn in a short period of time."

"You want to open peripheral betting?"

Gawain frowned, but Kuro shook his head directly and turned to him with a mysterious smile: "There is no Pirate that can compete with me or Gin."

"Captain, we are now the undisputed overlord of the East Blue. Not to mention those who can compete with you, even those who can are very few."

"Besides."

"How much money do you expect we can get from those poor gamblers?"

"If we want to make money, we can make big money from rich people!"

Gawain tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, making a clicking sound. After just a few breaths, he could clearly see Kuro's plan: "Are you planning to attack the nobles in East Blue?"

"What? This time, we are doing serious business!"

Kuro stretched out his hand to push up his glasses, but the smile at the corner of his mouth became more ferocious: "We are holding such a big event, so it's not too much to charge some sponsorship fees, right? It's not too much to ask them to give us some money, right."

"Hiss!"

Gawain gasped.

This is not collecting sponsorship fees. It is planning to take advantage of the martial arts competition to directly bring down the nobles of East Blue from top to bottom.

This bastard really doesn't want to be a human being!

"This isn't… good?"

Gawain rubbed his hands.

Kuro glanced at him sideways: "Why? You don't want to do it, captain?"

"That's not to say, I'm just worried that we can only cut one crop of leeks."

"Then we should be softer the first time."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

He can only say that he understands what kind of virtues a noble in the world of One Piece has.

Gawain didn't feel the slightest burden of cutting flesh from these people.

Gaza was confused when she heard this, but she already understood that Gawain and Kuro had agreed to her request.

There was just one thing she didn't understand, so she couldn't help but ask: "If we want to sponsor, will they give it to us?"

"Of course they will."

"Because I'm going to let Gin and Kuro take the boat to ask for it. If they don't give it to me, I'll change it to the pirate flag and ask for it again."

Gawain nodded: "They will understand it."

Gaza understood what Gawain meant. Thinking of the debt owed by the Kingdom of Goa, Gaza felt heartbroken; she gritted her teeth and said: "Captain, can we start with the Kingdom of Goa first?!"

"No problem!"
