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

Chapter 124: Potential Increased From Bronze To Silver



A few days later, Kuro and Gin returned to Raven Harbor with the ashes of Bijander and others.

Gaza rushed there with Jasmine as soon as possible.

The two looked at the several urns placed on the ground, feeling indescribable anger in their hearts.

The relatives of the deceased who rushed to the scene with them could not help but sob quietly.

Seeing this, Gin couldn't help but say: "I have avenged them. The king who ordered their execution has gone to hell."

As the sound fell to the ground, the suppressed sobs in the crowd suddenly broke out and merged into one in Gaza's ears.

The crying lasted for more than ten minutes before it subsided.

According to the rules set by Gaza, these dead will be buried in the harbor's cemetery, with their names engraved on tombstones.

They will be remembered as heroes by generations of Raven Harbor.

Soon, the family members of the deceased left with the urns.

Gin looked at their backs and felt a sense of panic in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Kuro standing beside him: "If we were stronger, and the White Knight Pirate was more famous, this wouldn't happen, right?"

Kuro nodded.

Gin, who was standing by, almost bit his lips until they bled, feeling extremely unwilling in his heart. 

He is almost the most diligent in the Pirate crew, even to the point of self-abuse.

Just for the almost imperceptible improvement every day, but now, he can hardly feel even that little bit of improvement.

Gin lowered his head, looked at his hands, which were clenched so tightly that they were shaking, and he murmured to himself: "Is this really my limit?!"

The crowd surrounding the harbor gradually dispersed.

After Kuro and the others handed over the affairs of the Kingdom of Goa and the hundreds of millions of Belly in sponsorship fees to Gaza, they turned and walked towards the place where Gawain was training.

Half an hour later.

In Raven Harbor, Gawain sat on the chair, listening to Kuro's story about the Kingdom of Goa, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Should I say it's unexpected?"

"He can actually see our subsequent arrangements in Raven Harbor and even use the body of his adopted son to make a deal with us?"

"But."

"He was able to support a fool like Sterry to the throne, and even in such a short period of time, he was able to prevent the civil unrest that was about to break out in the kingdom from happening."

"Outlook III is indeed a ruthless character."

Gawain praised repeatedly, but there was a hint of teasing in his eyes: "It's a pity that he forgets that violence is the essence of power, especially in a world where the power of one individual can easily destroy a country."

"But his existence can help us avoid a lot of trouble from the World Government, so it is quite useful."

Gawain turned to look at Gin and said: "By the way, this time, I went to the auction in Loguetown and got a Devil Fruit."

After saying it, Gawain took out an octagonal box from under the desk.

After he pressed the switch in the center, the box split open in the middle like a petal, and a strange fruit that seemed to be made of countless bones appeared in front of the two of them.

"Paramecia: Bone-Bone fruit!"

"After eating it, the user can freely control all the bones in their body and even extend the bones outside their body to form weapons for attack or armor for defense."

"When it is developed to a higher level, even the bones in the opponent's body can be controlled."

"The most important thing is that even if your potential has reached its limit, you can still go further with the existence of the Devil Fruit."

Go further? Why did I risk my life and even practice in an almost masochistic way, but in the end, I couldn't make any progress?

"I originally wanted to use it as a prize for the Martial Arts Tournament, but I wanted to consider improving our combat power first."

"You choose."

As the sound fell to the ground, Kuro did not speak but turned to look at Gin beside him and said: "I'm not too interested in Devil Fruit."

Gin reached out and gently stroked the skin of the Bone-Bone fruit, only to find that the skin was as hard as bone.

Originally, he was looking forward to the scene of obtaining the Devil Fruit.

After all, once he eats it, he will immediately gain power, and he will also have the possibility of further advancement.

But when the time came, Gin felt a little hesitant. "Is it really impossible for me to go further on my own?"

To be honest, when people know the limits of their own abilities, their biggest reaction must be reluctance!

This is how Gin feels at this moment.

He even had a feeling that if he ate it here, it would be a disguised admission that he was nothing special.

It denies his own possibilities, denies his own talents, denies his own awareness and will!

"I'm not willing to give in!"

A suppressed voice came out of Gin's throat, which surprised even Kuro.

Only Gawain's eyes revealed undisguised appreciation.

"Of course not!"

"Risking your life to fight a strong opponent in a battle that is certain to end in death, to find that tiny chance of victory."

"This kind of battle itself is a test of one's will and belief."

Gin understood instantly: "Just like Kuro fought me despite being seriously injured, and just like you, Mr. Gawain challenged Hawk Eyes even though you knew you were no match for him."

Gawain nodded: "That's right, the belief in invincibility is not something you practice; it's something you fight for."

"Once you find a reason to win, even if it means death, the shackles that were put on you because of your innate talent will be torn apart."

Gin remained silent, just lowered his head and stroked the devil fruit on the table, then he closed the box bit by bit.

Bang!

As the sound fell, the box containing the Bone-Bone fruit returned to its original state.

There was something in Gin that was hard to explain.

"Mr. Gawain, I refuse to accept my fate!"

"Since its fate is to be the prize of the martial arts competition, I will take another gamble to see if I am its destined owner."

"Anyway, my luck in gambling has always been good, right?"

As the sound fell to the ground, the corners of Kuro's mouth curled up slightly.

That's right!

Only with this kind of will can a man keep up with me and Gawain!

"Do you think you can beat me?"

"How can I know if I don't try?"

Gin raised his head, and the corners of his mouth gradually widened: "It suddenly dawned on me that I had been in fear all along."

"I was afraid of my own weakness and the growing gap between myself and you, captain, until I was of no use at all."

"But…"

"Fear alone is useless!"

Having said that, Gin turned around without even looking at the fruit on the table.

"Really don't want to think about it again?"

Gawain couldn't help but joke.

Gin's whole body froze, but he ignored Gawain and Kuro and ran away.

He's afraid that if he's delayed for a little bit, he will regret his decision.

"That's a cool way of saying it."

Kuro shook his head and said: "He's also very handsome."

Gawain was indifferent, but the gradually raising corner of his mouth showed his inner joy.

"Gin cuts off all his entanglement and understands his true self!"

"Potential increased from Bronze to Silver!"
