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

It took Gawain a lot of effort to suppress the urge to rush forward and attack.

No, buddy, you just lick the dog and get nothing!

Wait a minute, it seems like this bastard is licking everyone he sees; what is this? Dog warrior?

For a while, Gawain didn't know what to say. After returning to the room, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It's not just Sanji.

During this period, the experience provided by ordinary pirates has become less and less, and perhaps it is not just because their potential has been tapped to the limit.

Laziness is human nature, and the power of the White Knight Pirate in the East Blue becomes more stable.

The battles these ordinary pirates face are visibly decreasing, and the survival pressure facing them is also getting smaller.

The urgency to improve their combat power naturally decreased significantly, and many people simply gave up training. 

This can be seen from the increasingly round bellies of many pirates.

Gawain doesn't need to care about the group of people who plan to stay in East Blue to retire.

After all, even if they practiced hard, there wouldn't be many experience points for Gawain to gain.

But people like Sanji, who have great potential, will definitely follow him to the Grand Line and may even become an important fighting force under him in the future. 

They must not be left alone.

"People like Zoro who have clear goals and self-motivation can be left alone."

"But as other crew members join in, there will be more and more people like Sanji who are not interested in becoming stronger…"

"I have to find a way to make these bastards roll up their sleeves. After all, how can I become stronger if you don't work hard?"

"Last-in-first-out? Or performance-based salary?"

At this moment, Gawain finally realized that he had become the person he hated the most since he did not know when, and it's so... cool!

However, Gawain quickly rejected these ideas.

Not that he had a conscience.

But the people in this world are not like the cattle and horses in his previous life, where each person has debts worth two people, with some even having three or four.

In this situation, even if the boss's conditions are more stringent than the Geneva Convention, they can only bite the bullet and roll in; after all, cattle and horses are not prisoners.

People in this world, especially those who are good at what they do, have a wide range of choices and are prone to changing jobs if pushed to the limit.

"If reverse suppression doesn't work, then we can only do forward gain."

"The best in this regard should be the pay-to-win mobile games. All I need to do is change the idea from deceiving the boss to pay to deceiving the crew to practice..."

After some thought, Gawain gradually came up with an idea.

The next day, Gawain found Jango and asked him to lead people in making a batch of metal plates to hang on the chest.

"A metal inscription plate in the shape of a coin, with a hole at the top for a rope to be passed through and hung on the chest."

"The front is numbered, starting from 0 and going up to 100, and the back is engraved with the Pirate crew's flag."

Jango nodded: "That's easy. There's a ready-made blacksmith shop in the harbor. If I prepare the molds, it will be done in a few days."

"But captain, what are you going to do with these things?"

"You'll know later."

Gawain did not explain but added: "By the way, the inscription plates numbered 1 to 10 are made of gold, and their workmanship is different from the inscription plates behind them."

"The inscription plate numbered 0 is embellished with gemstones, and the captain's symbol is engraved on the front."

"In addition, create another batch of inscription plates with the same quality as serial numbers 0 to 10, without numbers engraved on them and with the front side left blank. I will adjust them based on the situation later."

"No problem."

Jango waved his hand and said: "Except for the batch of brands made of gold, which are a bit troublesome, the rest can be completed in a few days."

"Um."

Gawain patted Jango on the shoulder, handed him the task, and then asked someone to call the other members of the Pirate crew to the conference room.

Half an hour later, except for the pirates responsible for patrolling and exploring the nearby waters, everyone else gathered in a conference room, even Zoro, who was still injured.

Kuro was upset when his training was interrupted and frowned: "What do you want to do by calling us here at this time?"

Gin subconsciously guessed: "Ready to march to the Grand Line?"

Kuro shook his head: "No, the new ship is still being manufactured. Even if Raven Harbor puts all its energy into it, it will take at least two months."

"That's not clear."

Gin raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his body: "But the captain must have his own purpose for doing this-"

"Quiet!"

Before Gin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gawain's voice.

The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Gawain above.

Gawain looked around and confirmed that several executives, including Sanji, were present. Then he spoke directly:

"I won't say much more."

"You all know that in three months, we will be heading to the Grand Line, which is the most dangerous sea in the world, and there is no room for the weak to survive!"

"If you want to survive, you must make yourself stronger at all costs!"

Accompanying Gawain's words, everyone's expression turned serious.

They have personally participated in the fighting over the past few months to varying degrees.

You can say that.

If it hadn't been for Gawain, Kuro, and other senior cadres who withstood all the enemy's firepower, they would have died under the enemy's fire long ago.

And what kind of hellish scene would it be on the even more dangerous sea?

Only Kuro and others had eager eyes.

Gawain was not surprised by the crowd's reaction and continued: "At the same time, in order to confirm your position in the team, we will hold the first martial arts tournament in three months!"

"Your ranking will determine your position in the ship in the future!"

"From today on, 30% of the Pirate crew's net profit each year will be set aside as dividends for the top 100 crew members!"

"The higher the ranking, the higher the dividend ratio. The top ten crew members will also have priority in choosing treasures such as devil fruits and famous swords!"

"For the top three people, I can agree to one request within a reasonable range!"

As the sound landed, everyone looked at Gawain with their eyes frozen for a moment, followed by a burst of warm cheers.

Zoro, Kuro, and Gin's eyes instantly burned.

They didn't care about money or treasure, but Gawain's words made the three of them connect three keywords at the same time: Combat power, ranking, and status!

Kuro pushed his glasses up with a cold face, but he couldn't suppress the grim smile on his lips:

"Determining status directly by combat power? That's in line with that guy's style!"

Gin gritted his teeth: "In this situation, I can't lose to others!"

A flame began to burn in Zoro's eyes, and his hand even nervously pressed on the hilt of his sword: "A battle for the strongest among everyone present?"

"Interesting!"

While everyone was discussing, Sanji, who was standing aside, suddenly had his heartbeat slow down. When he reacted, his whole body was shaking with excitement!

"As long as I get into the top three, he can agree to any... Reasonable request?"

"Then can we recruit beautiful chefs?!"
