Chapter 43 Clo’s Challenge (Ch 43)

Under comprehensive.
Gawain’s combat power has been transformed, and has skyrocketed several times compared to a month ago.
If there is anything that is not perfect, it is the armed color domineering.
To be honest, Gao Wen felt frustrated after spending more than a month without even reaching the threshold.
But he quickly came to his senses.
Even Luffy, who started out with legendary potential, gradually grew up under the theoretical and practical guidance of Rayleigh, Hyogoro, and Kaido.
If he simply relies on himself to figure things out, he may not be faster than Gawain.
“This is the biggest difficulty of being a wild person. You have to rely on yourself for everything, unlike the chosen ones like this, who never lack people to guide them on their way.”
“But my current growth rate is already very fast.”
“I have been in this world for just over two months, but I have already walked a path that most people would take years or even decades to walk.”
“If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to wait until the Grand Line to find a way to arm ourselves. The East China Sea is still too small.”
Gawain sighed with regret.
Only then did I realize that my whole body was covered with sticky impurities.
He turned and walked into the bathroom, simply washed off the dirt on his body, and went to bed to rest.
Not long.
The sound of even breathing could be heard in the room.
…
A few days later.
Several pirate ships, loaded with all kinds of supplies, sailed into the port of Pala Island.
Zangao and his group walked down the gangway into the port, with relaxed smiles on their faces that were completely different from before.
During this period, they followed Gawain’s orders to clear out the pirate forces near Raven Harbor.
The bounties for these three people are all over seven million, which is considered high in the East China Sea where the average bounty is less than five million.
Gawain’s name has now spread, and with a bounty of 85 million, any pirate with a normal mind would not dare to provoke him easily.
The remaining ones are also most likely unable to defeat the three together. What’s more, Zangao also has the ability to hypnosis, which can force his subordinates to unleash their potential and greatly increase the overall combat effectiveness of the pirate group.
Gao Wen also tried to let Zangao hypnotize him, but finally came to the conclusion helplessly that only people with weak minds or too simple minds could be hypnotized.
With Zangao’s level, the most he can do is hypnotize the cat brothers, but it is not difficult for him to dominate the East China Sea.
The two enhanced cat brothers will basically not have any major problems as long as they don’t encounter players like Aaron.
Far away.
The fat man Buzhi from the cat-man brothers saw Gawain who was waiting for him at the port. His eyes lit up instantly and he walked quickly to Gawain with a smile on his face. He was so excited that he couldn’t speak clearly:
“captain!”
“This time, it feels so strange… well, it’s just… it’s just…”
Bu Zhi scratched his head for a long time before he came up with a suitable adjective:
“The people there don’t seem to think of us as pirates. They even made fried fish for me!”
As he spoke, Bu Zhi took out a package of dried fish wrapped in wax paper from his arms and handed it to Gao Wen as if he were offering a treasure.
After seeing Gao Wen eat a few pieces, he touched his head with a silly smile on his face.
“It seems a bit disrespectful.”
“But this time, it really feels so weird. I can’t tell what’s wrong, but really… I want to protect that place. I want it to exist forever!”
Sam also came over, put his hand on Bush’s shoulder, and nodded to Gawain:
“The kids there love my paws!”
Sam raised his palm as he spoke.
I saw that the sharp claws on the cat claw gloves had been removed, leaving only pink balls of flesh.
He is not as dangerous as before, but with his face that is highly similar to a cat, he does have some cat-like temperament.
Gao Wen smiled slightly and said calmly:
“As long as you like it.”
As Gawain spoke, he looked past the cat-man brothers and felt relieved when he saw that everyone had a relaxed smile on their faces.
After the last incident, the reputation of the Gawain Pirates in Raven Harbor has completely changed, and the vast majority of civilians are extremely friendly to the members of the Gawain Pirates.
The treatment of the cat brothers today and the smiles on these people’s faces further prove this point.
He also had this consideration when he agreed to the deal with Gaza.
Whether it is the Grand Line Paradise or the New World, it is too dangerous for these pirates of mediocre strength. If they go there, they will probably die in the sea.
Besides, before he obtained the title of Shichibukai and established a stable base, he didn’t need so many people to act together.
The existence of Raven Port helped him solve the problem of how to place these subordinates.
Even after Gawain leaves to lead Cloe and others in the future, this deal can still continue. After all, Gaza’s need for military force will not change.
Instead of letting these subordinates plunder and fight with pirates everywhere and live a life of food insecurity, it is better to serve Raven Harbor as mercenaries and get a long-term meal ticket.
In the future, after I leave, these people will also have a way to survive.
far away.
Clo looked at Gawain, then at the reactions of the cat-men brothers, and instantly understood Gawain’s plan:
“Gawain has decided to keep these people here.”
“Isn’t this possible?”
Ajin, who was standing next to Clo, was slightly stunned and retorted:
“How can we cross a dangerous place like the Grand Line without a large fleet?!”
“Oh.”
Clo smiled faintly:
“So you still don’t know enough about the Grand Line. It’s hard for ordinary pirates to survive there.”
“After a battle, most of them might be killed or injured. There would be no chance to erect a monument for them in such a place.”
call!
Clo blew out a smoke ring and turned to look at Ajin:
“I’m still a little curious, what did that guy say to you that made you choose to board his ship?”
“He said I was free and could choose where I wanted to go, and that the position of battle captain would be reserved for me until the ship arrived at the port.”
Clo’s hand trembled slightly, and bits of cigarette ash fell to the ground:
“That’s the guy’s style.”
“but.”
“If I were the captain, would you still be willing to stay here?”
Ah Jin shook his head, then nodded:
“As long as Mr. Gawain is here, I will be here.”
Clo smiled helplessly:
“That guy’s luck is really too good, but I will definitely be the captain!”
“…”
Ajin was slightly stunned, then turned to look at Clo.
He recalled the results of his several sparring sessions with Gawain this month, and there was even a hint of pity in his eyes as he looked at Cloe.
The feeling of being crushed from all angles is something that anyone with a weak mentality would not be able to withstand.
Ajin admitted that Clo was very strong. Even if it wasn’t for his luck, he would have died long ago in the port. But the gap between him and Gawain was like a punishment from heaven.
After a while.
Ah Jin managed to utter:
“Good luck.”
“ah.”
…
With the return of Zangao and others.
A huge fire was soon set up in the port.
There is a whole circle of barbecues around, emitting bursts of oily aroma, which makes people’s appetites whet. There are also neatly stacked breads and fruits on the side, and mountains of wine and drinks.
A banquet is gradually moving towards its climax.
As everyone was drinking happily, the fleet’s musicians began to play folk songs popular among the sailors, and glass of wine went down their throats amid laughter.
It was at this time that Clo stood up in front of everyone and looked at Gawain calmly:
“I want to try and see who is more qualified to sit in that position between you and me now.”
