How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 253 Tiger poison and food
Gao Wen's gaze fell on the aunt, with undisguised fear in his eyes.

He knew that Big Mom's defense would be very strong. After all, she was a monster known as the Iron Balloon and had hardly ever been injured in decades of debut.

But I never thought it would be so strong.

Such a huge amount of earth energy fell on the aunt and even burned her whole body.

If someone else had such injuries, even if they were rescued, they would not have been able to survive.

But not only is the aunt still able to move at this moment, the domineering aura she bursts out at this moment is even more astonishing!
Although Homies blocked most of the damage for Big Mom at that moment, being able to do this, Big Mom may be the strongest existence in this ocean in terms of physical defense ability alone.

Kaido and the Lunaria clan have to stand aside. Even Gawain, who has the two major defensive enhancement abilities of awakened battle armor and King Kong, is far inferior to him.

"Normal humans, even the Lunaria tribe that were once called gods, can't do this. This woman... is she really a normal person?!"

"Or... is it a monster created by some racial experiment of the World Government?"

"After all, the World Government has done a lot of shady things over the years. Besides that, there are also some underground forces that are conducting research related to gigantism."

"The human giantization experiment that Caesar conducted in Punk Hazard was financed by Doflamingo."

"The symptoms of those transformed children are quite similar to Auntie's food cravings."

Gawain couldn't help but let out a cry of exclamation, but his pupils suddenly shrank the next moment.

The old lady came to her senses and was shocked and terrified. She had even lost her sanity. There was no pupil left in her eyes, only pure white eyeballs.

But the desire to destroy the threat in front of him, stimulated by the pain, became even stronger!
The two Homies, Napoleon and Prometheus, had already dissipated in the explosion just now. At this moment, the only Homies that Big Mom could use was Thundercloud Zeus.

These natural elements with self-awareness are all creations of Big Mom’s Lingling Fruit.

By directly extracting the soul from the living body and giving it to non-living things, these non-living things can develop self-awareness and even have the ability to control elements comparable to the natural system.

Just like this moment.

A dark thundercloud appeared beside the aunt, with thunder roaring. Under the aunt's control, it turned into a big sword wrapped in lightning.

The shape of this broadsword is 70% similar to Napoleon's modified broadsword, but it becomes even more domineering due to the surging lightning around it.

"Elbaf's Spear·Powerful Country!"

The aunt roared and slashed with all her might with the long sword in her hand. The pure white shock wave was accompanied by red lightning, like a beam of light, piercing through everything in the way ahead!
At this moment, the lava flowing on the earth dimmed.

Big Mom inherited the secret skills from Elbaf, the Giant Kingdom, and at this moment, she revealed her most ferocious fangs.

This move came much faster than Gawain expected, and it was in front of Gawain in an instant.

"Is it too late?!"

"I can only take it head-on!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Gawain drew the Guanze Masamune from his waist instantly.

The domineering color attached to it attracts red lightning, the armament color increases the power of the slash, and the blade is attached with a light blue fluorescence that represents the ultimate soldier!
At this moment, Gawain chose to squeeze out the limited physical strength in his body and confront Big Mom head-on. Only after the fight will we know who is stronger!
"Huiyue!"

An equally domineering slash erupted from the blade of Guanze Masamune, colliding head-on with the powerful mid-air slash launched by the mad aunt with all her strength.

boom!
After a roar.

The people from all nations who survived in the port only felt a sharp pain in their ears and then could hear nothing.

But the ground beneath their feet was shaking continuously, and in many places, it was torn apart by the aftermath of Gawain and Big Mom's attack, leaving cracks several meters wide.

They struggled to keep their bodies steady, but were blown away in the next moment. All they saw was endless pure white light mixed with scarlet lightning!
"what happened?!"

"What happened?!"

Some people's eyes could not withstand the strong light and became blind for a moment, but they were shocked to find that they could not make any sound no matter what they did, and the only noise they could hear was like the chirping of cicadas, which made them extremely irritated.

Only then did he realize that it was not that he could not make any sound, but that his eardrums were torn apart by the impact just now.

far away.

Perospero, who had left behind Wanguo's brothers and sisters and escaped to a safe area alone, stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

The dissipated impact blew up his hair and revealed his pale face.

"What kind of monster did I provoke?!"

Lava was flowing on the ground, steam was rising in the air, and the surrounding environment should have been extremely hot and humid, even to the point of making it hard to breathe.

But at this moment, Perospero just felt cold all over.

Knight Gawain really has the strength to compete with his mother!
The scene before his eyes made his almost blind trust in the aunt begin to waver, and he felt extremely frightened.

in case……

If that guy knew that I was behind all this and that I made him bear the blame...

I……

Do not!
Even if he is willing to bow his head, even his mother will forget everything about today!
After all, my mother once said that he had taken a fancy to that boy's bloodline, and even hoped to breed a child with him that was stronger than Katakuri. By then, would there really be a place for me in the Wanoku? !

"Mom, we can't let that guy go!"

"must……"

Halfway through.

Perospero's voice suddenly stopped, and his face turned red, like a rooster with its throat pinched.

The sky was clear and cloudless. The waves rolled back and rushed onto the beach of the port, merging with the flowing lava, making a harsh hissing sound.

Where is the shadow of Gawain? !

"Did you make it?!"

Perospero murmured, but in the next moment, he overturned the answer in his mind.

That kind of guy...

How could a guy who could destroy the fleets of all nations with one strike, and even had enough energy to fight his mother with a powerful move, be defeated so easily? !
"Wait... if that attack can be used repeatedly, then this guy is equivalent to a walking ancient weapon?!"

"He even has enough strength to fight my mother head-on!"

"Monster, absolute monster~"

"Once this guy enters the new world, I'm afraid it will cause a storm beyond anyone's expectations!"

"I……"

Perospero opened his mouth, only to feel his mind go blank.

Then a few screams from a distance awakened his consciousness.

"mom!"

"Mom is losing consciousness again. She's having an eating disorder attack!"

"Damn it, where is Katakuri-nii?!"

"what--!"

After a tragic wail, Perospero once again saw a scene that made his scalp tingle.

The old lady, whose body was red and whose face looked like a devil, really did what only a devil could do.

The pirate who had just screamed was grabbed by her and put into her mouth. After chewing it a few times, she swallowed it alive.

Blood oozed from the corners of the old lady's mouth. She felt the pain in her body eased, and the red flesh began to grow again at this moment.

What made Perospero's soul tremble even more was that all this was just the beginning...

"what--!"

"Mom, it's me...don't, uh..."

"Save me, save me, I don't want to die, I..."

…Every wailing sound was accompanied by the demise of a life, and Perospero's eyes changed from astonishment and horror at the beginning to numbness in the end.

It's not that Perospero didn't think about rushing forward to stop Big Mom's violence, but the cowardice in his soul made his legs feel as heavy as if they were filled with lead, so that he never took that step from beginning to end!
The woman in front of me at this moment.

The woman who was once beautiful but is now bloated and ugly.

She is no longer a mother, but a monster just like her appearance now!

By the time Big Mom finished eating, there was no one alive at the scene except Perospero who escaped earlier.

the first time.

Perospero looked at the woman in front of him.

For the first time, he realized the gap between himself and Katakuri, and for the first time, he had an idea that was truly outrageous.

It doesn't matter who it is, even if you want me to assist Katakuri...

This country must never be handed over to this monster again!

……

……

……

Hundreds of miles away, in the middle of a deserted island.

Gawain fell slowly.

Without any hesitation, he bent down and knelt on one knee, put one hand on the ground, and began to absorb the energy of the earth veins in the nearby area.

Bits of dark blue earth energy flowed into Gawain's body along the length of his hand, rapidly repairing the injuries caused by excessive load of earth energy and the exhausted physical strength.

A few minutes later.

Gawain slowly stood up, feeling his body fully recovered and his abundant strength, and he let out a long breath.

Recalling the scene where the Red Emperor Blue Star exploded above the heads of the International Fleet, almost evaporating all the pirates in the entire port.

Gao Wen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"The power of the Red Emperor Blue Star's explosion this time is naturally incomparable to that of a super-sized nuclear bomb, but its power is definitely far superior to that of an ordinary tactical missile."

"In terms of absolute destructive power, it may not be as powerful as ancient weapons, but it still has the terrifying power to destroy a city with one strike. Combined with the Red Dragon's flexible flying ability..."

"Why do I feel like a surprise attack and destroying the enemy's base is the correct way to deal with it?!"

"but."

"This kind of thing is very powerful the first time, but after that the opponent has special defenses, the success rate will be lower."

"But..."

Gao Wen raised a playful smile:

"Without legendary combat power, the so-called defense is meaningless to me."

"Strategic-level capabilities!"

"The only thing we need to consider is that overuse will lead to the desertification of the entire country."

"Besides, there isn't much land in this world."

Think of this.

Gao Wen nodded, and he felt a little more expectant about how much Chidi Cangxing could grow.

Perhaps it can really reach a level comparable to ancient weapons.

"but."

"After taking this Crimson Emperor Star head-on, the Big Mom group is basically ruined."

"Although she still has fighting ability, she has undoubtedly lost the qualification to compete with other large forces for the Pluto design."

"If we rely on Katakuri alone, we will be at a disadvantage in the future chaos."

"Besides, that guy was the mastermind behind injuring Lucci. How could I let him go easily if I really met him?!"

"I just don't know how much experience I can gain from fighting with Big Mom this time..."

During this battle.

Gawain also realized that in terms of the quality of his Conqueror's Haki, there was still a gap between himself and someone like Big Mom who had been fighting for decades.

But don't forget.

Gawain's Conqueror's Haki has been upgraded to LV4, and will be able to further upgrade to LV5 to awaken new branch abilities, with qualitative changes in both strength and quality.

"Even if this battle with Big Mom doesn't allow me to gain enough experience in Conqueror Haki, the strong man I will face in the Seven Water City will be able to help me achieve that goal."

"LV-5 Domineering Haki...what kind of branching abilities will it bring?!"

Gao Wen licked his lips, feeling excited.

After resting for a few seconds, Gawain leaped forward and rushed towards the Seven Water City, disappearing at the end of the sky in the blink of an eye.

……

……

……

The sea is vast.

After Katakuri captured Iceberg, he and his subordinates evacuated quickly.

Apart from encountering a few small pirate groups that were defeated by Katakuri, no other accidents occurred. The entire operation went so smoothly that even Katakuri could hardly believe it.

At this moment, he felt uneasy for some reason.

Katakuri looked at Flampe beside him and said calmly:

"Haven't you contacted mom yet?!"

"not yet."

Flampe shook her head and looked at her brother who looked so cold and tough, and couldn't help but blushing.

As the president of Katakuri's fan club, she has indescribable admiration for this second brother who is the most outstanding among all his brothers and sisters and is known as the highest masterpiece of the world.

Admire his handsome appearance, admire his extremely powerful strength, and admire the glory that makes him admired by everyone.

Nothing can compare to Brother Katakuri!

Absolutely not!

It's not easy to have a chance to spend time alone with my brother. I really hope time goes by slower~
"Brother Katakuri, don't worry. Mom and Brother Perospero are there, so nothing will happen."

"But you, when you fought that guy before, you were also hit in the chest by him."

"It's out of the way."

Katakuri's voice was indifferent:

"That guy is quite capable. Even in a pirate group of the Four Emperors, he can be considered a core combat force. It's a pity that he is still a little lacking in interest and can't make me feel the joy of fighting."

"but."

"The will that guy showed was far more outstanding than his strength."

"Carrying everything alone?!"

"Pathetic, respectable, and even more ridiculous!"
