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

Gawain patted Sanji on the shoulder: "When our name spreads across the sea, it will reach them."

Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke, then turned around and asked: "Captain, can we hire a group of beautiful female chefs in the kitchen?"

While speaking, Sanji was so excited that he couldn't even hold the cigarette butt in his hand, and his mind was full of thoughts.

Gawain's mouth twitched: "I shouldn't have comforted you!"

… … …

Raven Harbor, in the lord's mansion.

Gaza took the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia she had just acquired and looked through it carefully.

The paper still has the scent of ink, and the types of devil fruits recorded on it almost cover all known devil fruits.

From the basic Paramecia fruit, Logia Fruit, and Zoan Fruit to the more advanced and special Paramecia, Ancient Zoan, Mythical Zoan, and so on, the prototypes of the devil fruits possessed by the famous people with special abilities in this sea can all be found here.

"This version of the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia is almost the most comprehensive on the sea."

Jasmine stood next to Gaza and leaned her head closer.

For a while, all kinds of strange and bizarre images of devil fruits appeared before the two of them.

A few minutes later, Jasmine exclaimed:

"Miss, this is the one you ate!"

Gaza unfolded the illustrated book and placed it on the table. This page of the encyclopedia showed the devil fruit that Gaza had eaten before.

Paramecia: Smooth-Smooth Fruit.

It can drastically change a person's appearance while also making objects it touches lose friction.

During this period, Gaza gradually became familiar with her ability, and even her own combat effectiveness significantly improved.

At least the guards in the harbor were no longer her match, and they were barely able to protect themselves.

"Devil fruits are truly magical. Even a person's appearance can be changed to this extent."

After speaking, Jasmine glanced at Gaza quietly and said: "Miss, what do you think of Mr. Gawain's reaction when he sees you like this?"

Gaza was stunned for a moment, and a blush appeared on her face. Then she reacted and looked at Jasmine with embarrassment: "Well, now you dare to make fun of me! You will work overtime with me tonight!"

"Ah?"

Jasmine wanted to cry but had no tears, and she felt like she had lost her soul.

 With a smile on her face, Gaza said: "Okay, I won't bully you anymore. Our current mission is to find the fruit that we want to give to Mr. Gawain."

"Hmm."

Jasmine nodded repeatedly, fearing that Gaza would change her mind if she was a step slower. She turned around, took out a box from the safe, and placed it on the table.

After Gaza opened it.

A strange orange-red fruit, covered with thorns and with two curved corners on the stem, lies quietly on the table.

The two of them compared the pictures one by one according to the atlas, and soon, it was late at night.

The illustration in Gaza's hand was getting thinner and thinner, and the two men's expressions were getting weirder and weirder. 

When the illustration turned to the last page, among the thousands of devil fruits recorded, none of them could match the one in their hands.

"How come there isn't any?"

Gaza frowned, thinking she had missed something; then, she checked again but still found nothing.

"Strange!"

Just as she was about to continue, she saw that the sun had risen outside the window. 

Jasmine had already fallen asleep on the table, with saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth, wetting her sleeves and the table.

Gaza smiled indulgently upon seeing this, and then she took a blanket and put it on Jasmine.

… … …

At the same time, on an island in the Grand Line.

A tall, thin man wearing a mask was sitting in a chair, listening quietly to his subordinates' reports.

"Hanafuda-sama, the devil fruit you were tracking, has been confirmed to have flowed into Raven Harbor in the East Blue."

"But hasn't our goal always been the Ancient Zoan?"

"That fruit is not recorded in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. Why did you spend such a huge manpower on it…"

Hanafuda glanced at him, and when he thought of the fruit, a trace of longing appeared in his eyes: "If I hadn't already eaten a devil fruit, I would have wanted to eat it. After all, that fruit has a powerful power comparable to Kaido's fruit."

"The rarest of all devil fruits…"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"

As the sound landed, the subordinate who had just reported the incident knelt down with a look of horror while his body shook like a sieve.

This is because the man standing in front of it is one of the seven warlords of the sea, one of the three major forces at sea, along with the Marines and the four emperors.

Hanafuda, the King of Lizards!

Once such a person gets angry, the consequences will be unbearable for him.

Seeing this, Hanafuda did not continue to pester him but looked at the two cat-like subordinates standing beside him and said: "That old guy in the Marines who is dissatisfied with the Warlord system is keeping a close eye on me. If I take any action, I will be targeted immediately."

"Fortunately, the devil fruit only flowed into the weakest sea, the East Blue. With your strength, you are more than enough to defeat anyone there."

"Labu! Lache!"

"You are responsible for getting that fruit back. Don't let me down!"

Two men, one tall and one short with human faces but dressed like cats, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Understood!"

"Um!"

Hanafuda nodded.

A few hours later, a small pirate ship set sail from the island's harbor and headed straight down towards the East Blue.

At a warship in the distance, an old man with short purple hair and a huge mechanical arm on his right hand raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the pirate ship, frowning slightly: "To the East Blue?"

"I heard from that brat, Smoker, that a formidable pirate appeared there."

"But, are Hanafuda's men the only ones who went there? They are not big fish."

The old man put down his glasses, feeling a little disappointed for a moment, and was hesitating whether to chase after them.

Then, a girl with long dark blue hair walked quickly onto the deck. The moment she saw the old man, her eyes were filled with helplessness: "Zephyr-sensei, the Battle Smasher is still under testing. It is not stable and cannot withstand high-intensity combat."

"Besides, Hanafuda is one of the seven warlords of the sea recognized by the World Government. Without a clear reason, the Marines cannot easily take action against him!"

Zephyr smiled slightly and said calmly: "I taught you before, didn't I, Ain?"

"By the time we can take action against him, everything will be irreversible. Besides, a man like him sends his subordinates to the East Blue-"

Halfway through, Zephyr felt his chest tighten, and he couldn't breathe at all. His whole body tensed up in an instant, and he gasped for breath.

Seeing this, Ain hurried forward to help Zephyr up and exclaimed: "Ship's doctor! Ship's doctor!"

"Sensei's asthma is acting up again!"

"Special medicine! Quick!"
