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

A smile appeared on Gawain's lips, and he ignored the warning and took a step forward.

Bang!

A gunshot was heard from the dense forest ahead.

Before the black bullet touched Gawain's body, it was cut in half by a silver blade light and flew away, brushing against Gawain's clothes.

"Take one more step closer, and my bullet will be aimed at your head!"

A warning voice was heard again in the dense forest.

Gawain, however, had already seen his fear and anxiety and even guessed the identity of the speaker.

As he continued to move forward, a box with dense grass on top appeared in Gawain's sight.

"What is that?"

Nami looked at the box in front of her curiously, then pointed to the flintlock rifle beside her: "The gun there is even smoking!"

As the sound landed.

The box trembled noticeably.

Gawain even saw a small section of the sole of the foot exposed underneath.

He took a few steps forward, grabbed the dense grass in the box, and lifted it up.

A middle-aged man's face suddenly emerged from the box. 

Except for his arms and feet that could barely stick out of the box, the rest of his body was squeezed inside the box.

"Stop pretending; you were the one who fired the gun just now!"

Gawain has recognized that the strange man trapped in the box in front of him is the impressive box monster, Gaimon, in the original manga.

He was unfortunate because the treasure he had guarded for his entire life was just a few empty boxes, but he was also lucky because here he found something that was truly worth protecting.

"Let me go, pirate!"

Gaimon kept struggling, but his short hands couldn't even reach his head.

The scene was extremely funny.

"What?"

Nami squeezed out of the crowd and looked at the person struggling in Gawain's hands with a look of great surprise: "A person in a box? How does he live in this situation?!"

The people around also became curious and gradually gathered around.

Even Kuro, who was usually the most indifferent, couldn't help but pick up a stick and poked Gaimon's face, causing Gin's mouth to twitch: "You're being a little rude."

Suddenly, there was a roaring sound from the woods in the distance, and dozens of strange-looking animals rushed out, baring their teeth at Gawain, who was holding Gaimon.

Even in the face of the murderous aura emanating from Gawain, they did not back down at all.

Gaimon's pupils shrank, and he curled up in the box. Unable to turn around, he could only say anxiously, "Go back quickly!"

"I'm able to defeat a group of guys like this by myself!"

"And you!"

"If you dare to hurt my friends, I will never let you go!"

After speaking, Gaimon waved his short hands, which was not only intimidating but also made Gawain's mouth twitch.

"Why do you make me look like a villain?"

Gawain touched his head helplessly and slowly put Gaimon down.

As soon as the latter landed, he ran to the front of the group of strange beasts with his short legs, protecting them with his not-so-tall body, and then looked at Gawain with a wary look: "Don't think of hitting them!"

Gawain spread his hands: "As you can see, we are a group of pirates. A storm is coming, and we need a place to take shelter."

"If it's convenient..."

Gaimon's eyes lit up, and he said: "Okay, but I need you to help me get something!"

Gawain nodded. He already knew what Gaimon needed him to get for him.

"You can only come alone!"

"Okay!"

After saying that, Gawain said a few words to Kuro and the others, asked them to wait here, then turned around and followed Gaimon away.

As for Gawain's safety, no one mentioned it except Nami. 

After all, if the opponent could even beat Gawain, everyone present except Kuro would be dead.

…

Although Gaimon has short legs, his steps are not slow.

A few minutes.

The two walked to the depths of the island and headed towards a mountain.

Gawain followed behind him and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid that I will attack you?"

Gaimon paused: "I can see that your strength is far superior to other pirates I have seen. If you were really that evil, I would have been dead when I fired that shot."

"You're not arrogant towards the weak. You're not like a typical pirate."

After saying that, Gaimon took another step with his short legs and headed towards the depths of the island.

Gawain stood there in a daze for a few seconds before he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Does this count as someone giving me the nice guy card?"

"But."

"It doesn't feel bad."

Gawain quickly followed.

Soon, the two came to the top of a mountain.

A huge rock stood in the middle of the mountain, nearly twenty meters above the ground. 

Given Gaimon's height, he could not climb up even with the help of his animal friends.

"Right there, help me take down the box on top. Even if you want to take the treasure inside after opening them, it doesn't matter; I only want to see what the treasure I have been guarding for so many years is!"

Gaimon's tone was excited.

Gawain, who already knew the answer, was not interested in this. He grabbed Gaimon and threw him up.

"You should see it for yourself!"

Gawain said calmly.

Gaimon above was not in the mood to listen to him. After a few unboxing sounds, there was silence.

After a while, there was a long sigh: "So, at that time, they already knew that these boxes were empty?"

Gaimon muttered.

But at this moment.

Gawain's voice came from below again: "How is it? Is there something valuable?"

Gaimon was stunned.

Then he looked around; this is the highest position on the island. From his perspective, he can even see all the places on the island.

Strange animals were moving across the island, heading towards him.

How can these friends who have been with him for many years not be a treasure?

Gaimon raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Ah."

"It is truly the greatest treasure, worth spending a lifetime protecting."

"Snort."

Gawain smiled faintly and caught Gaimon, who was falling from above.

The latter looked at Gawain and asked: "Hey."

"I have found my treasure; what about you?"

"After you set out to sea, is there something you would want to get even if it costs you your life or waiting for several years?"

"If not, if you don't have great power, sooner or later, a stronger enemy will take away everything!"

Gawain was stunned; his mind went blank. 

He had never thought about this question before.

Since he transmigrated to this world. With the sword in his hand and the efforts of his companions, no opponent in the East Blue could stop him.

Everything went too smoothly.

Whether it was Morgan, Krieg, or Arlong, none of them could match his swordsmanship.

His original plan was to make a name for himself in the Grand Line and become one of the seven Warlords.

But this is just one part of the plan, not what Gawain ultimately wants.

"I must get it even if it costs my life..."
