Chapter 142 New Badge-Shichibukai! (Ch 142)

As the news of Gawain’s return spread, more and more civilians came here spontaneously. They called out Gawain’s name with obvious smiles and respect on their faces.
“These civilians…”
Zefa was stunned for a moment.
He had seen this kind of look countless times in the eyes of the civilians he had rescued.
But even if all those were added together, they were not as shocking as the scene before him.
“You actually have the heart to respect a pirate?!”
“The last man who was able to do this was Whitebeard, but that was because he truly regarded the people in his territory as his family.”
Zefa whispered:
“Another alternative…pirate?”
Fujitora on the side smiled slightly:
“Mr. Zephyr.”
“What you see now is just the tip of the iceberg. Wait until you really get to know this place and understand the sufferings of the civilians and even the pirates.”
“Perhaps you will feel differently.”
Zefa remained silent.
After bandaging their wounds and regaining consciousness, Binz and Smoger also looked at the scene in a daze.
The former was shocked at how a pirate could be so revered by the local civilians, while the latter recalled his experience a few months ago and felt only bitterness in his heart.
After all, such things and such reactions should not occur when facing pirates, but when facing heroes, right?
“To regard pirates as heroes? How ridiculous.”
“No!”
Binz shook his head, unable to accept what was happening:
“Smoger, I don’t understand…”
“Because that man really saved this place.”
Smoger gritted his teeth.
But the more he thought about it, the more he didn’t understand why such a person would do such a thing?
finally.
He looked at Gawain:
“Why?”
“Why would a man like you allow your men to do something like that?”
“Just because of a few guards…”
“Just because of a few guards?”
Gao Wen raised his eyebrows and said in a colder tone:
“Guards are people too.”
“In my eyes, there is no difference between you, me, the king, and the pig that claims to be a god in Marijoa.”
“He can use the power in his hands to kill people because of a momentary displeasure, so why can’t I kill him because of my own displeasure?”
“How much harm will a king who kills people wantonly cause to a country, and how many people will die?”
“You should know better than me!”
Smoger’s breath was choked and he felt as if a stone was pressing on his chest.
I was wrong?!
Am I really wrong?!
“But no matter what, the death of a king will cause unrest in a country, with casualties…”
Gao Wen raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth:
“So the Goa Kingdom is in turmoil?”
“It took Otluk III only three days to suppress the rebellion in the Kingdom of Goa. During this time, except for the execution of a few nobles who had caused the rebellion, everything else remained the same.”
“The death of that so-called King Staley is no different than the death of his guards.”
“Why then has no king or noble ever been punished for offending commoners?”
When Gawain said this, he was staring at Zephyr:
“If there is no fairness, how can there be justice?!”
On deck.
Zephyr, Binz, Smoker, and the marines beside them all lowered their heads in an instant. No one knew how to refute, and no one dared to refute.
A captain of a pirate group, even a captain of a pirate group who had just killed the former king of the Goa Kingdom, was now scolding a group of marines including the former admiral of the navy until they were speechless.
This scene can already be called absurd, but now it actually appears before everyone’s eyes.
“I……”
“I will find the path the Navy should really take!”
Zefa spoke with difficulty.
But Gawain no longer had the heart to listen to Zefa’s explanation.
He turned his head and looked towards Raven Harbor.
Standing in front of the crowd were the officers and ordinary members of the Gawain Pirates.
Upon hearing the news of Gawain’s return, everyone put down their work and gathered here to welcome their king!
The news about Gawain becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea had already spread in the port.
With the support of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gaza simply stopped pretending and directly raised Gawain’s flag in Raven Harbor.
High place.
The background is a round shield with a pirate flag with a skull printed on it.
It fluttered in the wind in the most conspicuous position in the harbor, attracting countless people to stop and watch.
The bounties on Gawain, Ajin, Clo, and even the cat brothers, Zangao, and others have also been cancelled from now on.
At least before the Seven Warlords of the Sea system was truly abolished, with this flag in place, no one in the East China Sea or even the Grand Line Paradise would dare to attack Raven Port.
Thinking of the recent changes, everyone in the Gawain Pirates felt like they were dreaming for a moment.
In reality, with the help of the martial arts tournament, tourism and commerce around Raven Harbor were revitalized. Not only the Gawain Pirates, but even the surrounding civilians made a small profit.
Then you will have a worry-free life for a year or even several years.
Then came the ultimate showdown between Clo and Akin, in which both fought to a draw and shared the prize equally.
And just when everyone thought that everything was over, even more explosive news came that Gawain replaced Gekko Moriah as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
When Cloe heard the news, he was completely stunned.
Originally in the plan he had drawn up, this goal could only be achieved at least at the Grand Line, or even the New World.
Even before leaving the East China Sea, Gawain has already become one of the top pirates.
“I can’t figure this guy out any more…”
“How many more surprises can he bring me?”
Clo’s soft murmur made Ajin, who was standing beside him, smile slightly and said:
“Isn’t that always the case, Captain?”
“You can never guess what that man is thinking, and you never know when he will break your cognition.”
“But one thing is beyond doubt, that is, he absolutely deserves the throne!”
“No!”
“It’s that throne that has been waiting for him!”
Zoro looked at the man standing on the deck and even had an illusion.
maybe.
Even after I defeat Hawkeye, there is still a long, despairing distance between me and Gawain’s captain.
“What nonsense am I talking about!”
Sanji glanced at him, then looked at Gawain, feeling that he could not understand the man in front of him no matter what:
“How strong is that guy now?”
“Who knows?!”
…
Surrounded by the crowd, Gawain jumped off the warship, said hello to Cloe and others, and then walked towards Red Dragon Street.
Gaza arranged Zefa and others in a building in the port, waiting for the navy to come and take them away. At the same time, Gawain kept his promise and gave Zefa the power to act independently.
Let him witness with his own eyes what a port under the rule of pirates looks like, and how the experiences of these pirates along the way are different from his judgment.
As for that warship…
That was naturally Gawain’s spoils of war.
A few minutes later.
Gawain returned to his own residence.
Gawain also let out a sigh of relief after his attack on Zephyr and Smoker.
This was especially true after seeing the miserable looks of the three people.
Now, all he cared about was the system prompt that appeared in front of him when he entered the port:
“Congratulations on unlocking the badge – Shichibukai!”
“Unlock the experience piggy bank, and you can convert your overflow or invalid experience into general experience at a ratio of 3:1.”
“General experience will be automatically distributed according to the efforts of subordinates in their training.”
…
“In other words, abilities like sniping, which are not very useful to me, or abilities like navigation, which have been maxed out to their potential limit, can be converted into general experience points to increase the training speed of my subordinates?”
After figuring out the power of the new badge, Gawain’s expression was a little complicated for a moment.
The existence of the new badge solves a problem that currently exists in the Gawain Pirates, that is, with Gawain’s rapid improvement, the help that his subordinates can bring has become smaller and smaller.
Even Clo, the strongest among them, is still a little distance away from the silver level, and the same is true for the others.
Once he encounters a powerful and complete pirate group like the Hundred Beasts, with evenly distributed combat power from top to bottom, Gawain will be unable to support himself.
Now with the existence of the experience piggy bank, everyone’s growth rate will be faster, and with their qualifications, a qualitative change will soon occur.
But the same experience piggy bank will also bring a new problem, which is that the total amount of experience that Gawain can obtain will be reduced.
but.
Regarding this issue.
Gawain already had a solution in mind.
“It’s just a matter of recruiting a few more people. There are few people with potential in the East China Sea, but there are many more in the Grand Line.”
“The supernovas that came out with Luffy are just a bunch of usable leeks. The lowest potential is silver, and some like Law and Kidd are gold.”
“It’s just a lot harder to accept, but there are more choices.”
…
The next day.
Gawain then told Gaza about his plan to rebuild the pirate group based on the warship.
After Gaza asked a shipbuilder to evaluate the plan, the shipbuilder was more optimistic about this plan.
At this moment, in the port.
The shipwright looked at the naval ship in front of him as if he were appreciating a work of art:
“Both the structure and the firepower inside are perfect, as if they were taken directly from a storybook.”
“It only needs a simple modification and after eliminating any tracking methods such as the surveillance Den Den Mushi that may exist inside, it can be used directly.”
“Even without a more detailed inspection, it can be judged that the performance of this ship is far superior to the one we are building.”
“The bottom of the ship even uses an alloy that I’ve never heard of. It’s very strong but lightweight. What the hell!”
Gao Wen naturally knew what it was.
Naval warships, especially those on the Grand Line and the New World, are designed with the ubiquitous presence of sea kings in mind.
Therefore, when building ships, seastone is also mixed into the hull for camouflage.
Coupled with the navy’s hundreds of years of technological accumulation and Vegapunk’s continuous output of black technology, to be honest, Gawain would not find it surprising if the navy built an aircraft carrier one day.
