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

But he couldn't move it even a little bit, just because that dragon claw was not only covered with red scales but also had the same Armament Haki!

"You!"

Before Hanafuda could finish his words, the dragon claws firmly grasped his tail.

At this moment, he felt a mountain-like pressure coming from the dragon claws, almost crushing his bones.

"Die!"

Gawain grabbed Hanafuda with one hand, flapped his wings behind him, and dived to the ground like a meteor.

When approaching the ground.

He pushed Hanafuda hard to the ground…

Then, a shock wave spread out from the center of the impact, tearing out almost all the windows of the surrounding houses.

Boom!

The ground in the harbor suddenly collapsed, and the surrounding stone slabs burst into circles of cracks, spreading for hundreds of meters.

At this time, a small half of the harbor was directly separated from the main body of the island, causing seawater to flow back.

At the center of the huge pit, Hanafuda opened his mouth and coughed up a large mouthful of blood while his face turned visibly pale.

He was already seriously injured, and now he suffered another shocking blow from Gawain. 

He had already lost half of his life, but his eyes were still filled with resentment: "I am one of the seven warlords of the sea, the King of Lizards!"

Gawain put one hand on Hanafuda, pinning him down so that he couldn't move at all, but a hint of an undisguised sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Warlord?"

"You think you're Hawk Eyes!"

He had already recognized it.

The person being pressed down by him at the moment is none other than Hanafuda, one of the seven warlords of the sea who was defeated in the original timeline.

And he was defeated by Portgas D. Ace, who had just entered the Grand Line and whose combat power was at most Silver. 

Even if Hanafuda was in his prime, his combat power would definitely not be stronger than him.

In other words, if the combat effectiveness of the seven warlords of the sea has a floor, Hanafuda is definitely one of them.

Even enough to compete with Crocodile and Gecko Moriah, who have already lost their hearts as strong men, for the last place.

With Hawk Eyes's diamond combat power, he can easily kill him with one strike at most!

Now that he is seriously injured. If he really meets a strong man, he will have to kneel down.

Hanafuda was extremely angry and immediately saw the naked, murderous intent in Gawain's eyes.

"I am Warlord!"

"Not only the World Government is standing behind me! There are also the Beast Pirates. You…"

At this moment, feeling the chill of death, Hanafuda's eyes finally revealed a real fear.

It was like when he had the dream of getting One Piece and conquering the world, but after entering the New World, he was greeted by Kaido's mace.

Despair, powerlessness, confusion

Countless feelings intertwined and eventually turned into the survival instinct of the weak: "Spare me…"

"Please, spare me…"

The suppressed voice grew louder and louder. As tears flowed, the world in front of Hanafuda began to distort.

There was only Gawain's joking voice: "Only the strong are qualified to survive in this world, right?"

The familiar words destroyed Hanafuda's last glimmer of hope. 

Before he could open his mouth, the world in front of him was filled with dragon's breath…

Boom!

A column of fire erupted in the harbor.

Just a few minutes later, in the huge pit, there was only a charred skeleton and red lava flowing around it.

A dragon, a hundred meters long, stood at the bottom of the pit, with magma beneath its feet that was hot enough to melt steel. 

This scene brought only indescribable fear to everyone.

"Strange… Monster!"

The East Blue nobles, who didn't have time to escape, were frightened by the dragon in front of them.

The man who bought the twins collapsed on the spot, and there was a yellow liquid between his legs.

The servant who was supposed to risk his life to protect him gave up their so-called loyalty in just a moment.

They instinctively wanted to move their legs and run back, but they found that facing the dragon in front of them, they could no longer control their bodies and fell directly to the ground.

The next moment, more wailing sounds were heard from the surroundings.

"I don't want to die! I… I still have a family; I have to live for them."

"My country needs me. If I am not there, who should those untouchables, no, those people, pay taxes to?"

"I can't die!"

In the face of a life-and-death crisis, these nobles who should have been at the pinnacle of power in the East Blue each showed their own ugly side.

These people were so arrogant and heroic when they used the money to buy those slaves in the auction house, but now their attitude is so insignificant.

"It turns out that the nobles who are so high up in the world can also show such an expression."

Gawain licked his lips and felt that the scene before him was so funny that he couldn't help but burst into laughter. 

So… He let out a roar towards the sky.

The low roar stirred up endless smoke and dust, and the violent sound waves almost tore the eardrums of those present.

In the corner, Daz Bonez, who came in a hurry, witnessed the scene before his eyes, and for the first time, he felt a chill running down his back.

"How could such a being appear in the East Blue?"

He instinctively wanted to take a step back but found that his leg felt like it was filled with lead, and he couldn't move it at all.

When he looked down, he realized that his legs had already begun to tremble constantly, so much so that he could hardly stand.

For the first time, he regretted his decision and regretted why he did not follow Zala and leave so that he would not have to face the monster in front of him.

"Is this a devil fruit user or a real dragon?"

Looking at the giant beast in front of him, Daz Bonez's simple worldview began to waver.

No matter what, he couldn't believe that a person with devil fruit ability could be so powerful.

Among the countless strong men he had fought, no one could match the power of the monster in front of him.

Even if Crocodile, who has the same title of Warlord as Hanafuda, were to fight this monster, the result would probably not be much better than Hanafuda.

Faced with such power, resistance had lost all meaning, and it was at this moment that he realized this.

It turns out that even if you have the courage to risk your life, the fear instinct engraved in human bones and blood cannot be erased at all, just like his legs that were trembling so much that he couldn't move.

"Right!"

"That devil fruit!"

Daz Bonez came back to his senses and looked around blankly, but there was no trace of the target around. 

Suddenly, a guess flashed through his mind.

Every time the dragon claw fell, it left a deep footprint on the ground, and the cracks spread out like spider webs.

"Could it be…"

"Is this monster that person?"

Along with Daz Bonez's voice were the leisurely steps of the dragon before him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The East Blue nobles present at the scene become limp and unsteady just by hearing the sound.

By the time Gawain finally walked out of the huge pit formed by the impact, there was no one in the harbor of Loguetown that could stand.

Gawain looked down at the East Blue nobles present and said slowly: "As a dragon, it's reasonable for me to like treasure, right?"

"I just saved your lives from that beast. Is it okay to ask for a little reward?"

"So now leave all the valuables on you behind."
