"A true swordsman can turn a picked-up table knife into a black sword!
Among swordsmen who rely on famous swords to become famous, which swordsman can become a true great swordsman?
For all powerful swordsmen, it is the swordsman himself who is famous. As for his sword, it is precisely because that swordsman became famous that the name of the sword spread throughout the world!
And the knife I personally made for little Gawain is the knife that makes little Gawain famous the most!"
After the words fell, Rayleigh threw his head back and laughed. His laughter even made Gion, who was making eye contact with Hancock, roll his eyes.
Looking at Gion's eye roll, Hancock curled his lips and turned to look at Gawain worriedly again.
And Gion.
She patted Jin Pilao on her waist and said speechlessly.
"No matter how strong a swordsman is, he still needs a famous sword. The weapons you always prepare for adults are probably no more than the branches on the roadside.
Such a sword can certainly bring fame to its owner, because there is no swordsman in the world who uses that kind of sword, and it would not only make him famous.
From the time Xi Liu sent the prisoner, rather than using the swordsmanship you taught me to fight, it would be better to say that he was fighting with the fists and kicks I taught him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain from far away happened to rush out, and he threw the small broken knife in his hand towards the pirate opposite.
Just when the pirate pushed the knife away with a fierce look on his face, Gawain stepped on his feet, and in a blink of an eye he had crossed dozens of meters. He stepped hard on the ground with his left foot, and his whole body jumped up, and his right knee was hit hard. On the pirate's chest!
Click!!!
Accompanied by a series of bone cracking sounds, the pirate flew backwards dozens of meters away.
At the same time as Gawain retracted his knees, his feet also accelerated directly. He came first and rushed to the flying pirate's side. At the same time, he directly grabbed the pirate's neck with his right hand.
boom!!!
The pirate was directly grabbed by his neck and pushed to the ground.
Click, click, click!
There was a series of crisp sounds, and the pirate's neck directly turned into a V-shape in the opposite direction. Obviously, his air intake could not keep up with the speed of his air out.
Gawain then stopped, then went to the side to pick up the tattered knife, and walked behind him with the knife in his hand.
In the dense forest, Hancock immediately rushed out from her hiding spot. She covered her cheeks with her hands, and at the same time narrowed her big eyes in excitement and shouted to Gawain.
"As expected of Gao Wensheng!"
"Ha ha."
Seeing Hancock's exaggerated behavior, Gawain smoothed his hair and smiled.
"Forget it, let's save such compliments for later.
In addition, Mr. Rayleigh, pirates with a bounty of less than 10 million are no longer capable of causing me trouble, and they are basically an instant kill situation.
We can probably try it with pirates under 50 million.
The effect of the big bear is particularly significant, and the meat ball fruit is really powerful. In just three months, my progress is probably comparable to that of an ordinary person who has trained for five to six years, right?"
"That depends on when the competition starts!"
Rayleigh nodded, and then responded to Gawain.
"If compared with children, after five or six-year-old children have been professionally trained for about ten years, by the time they reach the age of fifteen or sixteen, their strength will probably be similar to yours.
But you have to know that for children over the age of sixteen, the speed at which their strength improves cannot be compared with the past.
For example, in your current period, you have also entered a similar stage of skyrocketing overall strength."
"Indeed, my lord!"
Gion continued with a smile on the side.
"Your current strength has reached the level of a lieutenant colonel at the Navy Headquarters. In terms of physical strength, you should be able to reach the level of a lieutenant colonel, which is the standard of a colonel at the Navy Headquarters.
Therefore, you should also feel that during this period of time, unless you use extremely heavy training equipment.
Otherwise, if you just exercise, it will be difficult for you to feel tired, right?
So next, you have to rely on more rigorous and dangerous training to maintain your high-speed leap!"
Hearing Gion's words, Gawain nodded with emotion.
That's right.
In the past half month, Gawain has even used a two-ton barbell, which is a level that he could not have imagined before the time travel!
But now, he doesn't feel the bottleneck stage is coming at all. Whenever he ends the super-heavy devil training, he can still notice the improvement in strength!
As for his physical strength, he used to be extremely tired after running ten kilometers, but now he can run around the coastline of Nine Snake Island for a whole day and night without feeling tired.
As the saying goes, the soil and water nourish a person, and the air and wine and meat of the pirate world can produce people like Gawain. As long as they are really willing to work hard, they will definitely feel the progress!
Of course, this kind of progress must have its limits. Otherwise, how could a Vice Admiral like Flying Squirrel feel that no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to reach the level of Gion?
At present, Gawain only hopes that his limit will come as late as possible.
But he knew in his heart that even if he didn't count his body that was several times weaker than that of a pirate before time travel.
Just counting the level he has only started exercising when he was in his mid-twenties.
Compared with the strong men in the local pirate world, he has missed a lot, not to mention the amazingly talented guys in the pirate world.
Big Mom's steel balloon, Kaido's ghost body, these two have been able to turn ordinary lieutenant generals into younger brothers since they were a few years old.
And myself….
Gawain laughed expectantly.
How far can I reach the end point of purely physical strength?
After laughing, Gawain waved his hands to everyone.
"Let's go have lunch. By the way, are Franky and the others coming over today?"
Hearing Gawain's question, Kalifa nodded quickly in response.
"Indeed, they set off at two o'clock in the morning today. According to Mr. French, the new ship he built has more than two power systems and is much faster than ordinary ships.
As expected, they should arrive tonight."
"Not bad, haha. When he comes, let's take a good look at what our new ship looks like."
Gawain sat on the sofa while chatting. Three months later, everyone had become so familiar with it that they no longer had so many rules. They didn't even need a dining table.
It's completely a buffet style. Everyone pushes the cart, chooses what they want to eat, and finds a comfortable position to chat while eating.
However, Hancock remained the same as three months ago. She insisted on sitting on the right side of Gawain and fed Gawain bite by bite. Every time Gawain took a bite, she would show an extremely satisfied expression.
Gion was used to this. She sat on the left side of Gawain, casually put her legs on the back of the sofa, and smiled softly.
"I hope my room can be big enough. In that case, I will move all the collections from my old warships here.
By the way, sir, I have a few famous knives in my collection. You can choose from them. Although they are not the most powerful knives, overall they are not worthy of your status.
But if you only use it temporarily, it should be enough for you at the moment."
After listening to Gion's words, Gawain paused slightly, and he happened to bite Hancock's finger.
Although it was just a simple contact, there was no so-called ambiguous action.
But in the blink of an eye, Hancock was still curled up with his head covered in pink, giggling non-stop.
Gawain looked helplessly at the giggling Hancock, and then he continued to speak to Gion.
"You don't have to worry. I estimate that the size of the big ship built by Franky will break the record.
At the beginning, the shipbuilding budget Espagu sent me was about 380 billion beli. I was already surprised by such a price.
As a result, the cost of ship construction continued to rise, reaching the current level of 720 billion beli!"
At this point, Gawain felt outrageous. What is the concept of 720 billion beli?
Oda said that Bailey's purchasing power is equivalent to the Japanese yen, and the 720 billion Bailey has reached a level close to 40 billion yuan!
You know, before Gao Wen traveled through time, the price of building an aircraft carrier in his country was only about 40 billion yuan!
So, did Franky build himself an aircraft carrier?
Thinking of this, Gawain raised his glass to everyone.
"Cheers, for the new ship, haha!"
“Cheers, to the pool!!!”
Bai Xing held up the wine glass brilliantly and drank the equivalent of a large bucket of drink for ordinary people. She put down the glass and shook her tail which returned to pink.
"I need to prepare a set of tools and dyes for beautiful scales. It has been three months, and the pattern on my tail has been worn away, woohoo~"
"You must prepare, everyone can decorate your room as much as you like.
If I were to directly give you a clear sea, then I can only ask you to work hard with me and look forward to it.
But it may not be a room, a decoration you like, or simply a treasure.
This is what I don’t lack the most, haha!”
After the words fell, everyone raised their glasses to drink in cooperation, but after everyone put down their glasses, Kalifa pushed up her glasses and said in a deep voice.
"Sir, we probably really don't have much money. After all, you have specifically requested that, except for the necessary project of the sea train, your other expenses will not be drawn from the commercial income of the Seven Waters Capital.
And you, Saint Musgarud, have additionally sponsored the nearly three-month annuity from Shalulia Palace, plus the additional 30 billion promissory notes from Shalulia Palace, a total of 100 billion beli has been allocated.
Invested in ship construction.
At the same time, the slave trading project in Impel Down that we have carried out in Mariejoia in the past three months can bring us an income of about 300 to 800 million per slave.
Forty slaves per month, accumulated about 70 billion in three months, and this money was also used to build ships.
At present, we still have a total of 6.7 billion Beli in memory, which is used to purchase various types of food and exercise equipment. We also have to pay the salaries of a series of department members such as Black Ice Platform and the Secretariat Department.
In addition, the new ships that are about to arrive still need maintenance and upkeep.
So our current total property is….
I still owe 540 billion beli to the Finance Department of the Capital of Seven Waters!"
After listening to Kalifa's report, Gawain's face, which was full of enthusiasm just now, was suddenly covered with a layer of dark clouds.
As for Bai Xing, she was frightened to tears by the number 540 billion.
She wiped her watery eyes and then grinned.
"How can someone's natural color be more beautiful when it comes to patterns like beautiful scales?
I still don’t have beautiful skin anymore.
Sir, look, my tail is pink~~~."
"Ha ha!"
Hearing Bai Xing's concerned words, the clouds on Gao Wen's face suddenly cleared, and he waved his hand indifferently.
"There is no way. We really need to work on the sea train project first. The Seven Rivers Capital's own income is far from enough to support the future size of the sea train. I really can't cause them more trouble.
As for our debt, it is already owed anyway. Kalifa took the time to discuss an installment payment with the Water City, and also emphasized to them that they are not allowed to charge me any so-called interest!
The amount of each installment is set at about half of our monthly income, so please pay it back slowly."
Having said this, Gawain thought for a moment, and then laughed heartily.
"In addition, when the big ship arrives, we will go for a nice tour on the sea. While taking Frankie with us, we will plan the first sea train assembly line from Mt. Inversion Mountain to Shampoo Land in the future, and at the same time recruit some talents that we lack.
By the way, catch more pirates and send them to Impel Down.
Let me emphasize to Xiliu that the pirates we send do not need to go through the monthly process.
Let them get familiar with the life in Impel Down City, and then drag them directly to Marigio and sell them. As long as they are big enough and the pirates with a bounty of 10 million go around Impel Down City, their worth will rise to more than 300 million.
That’s outrageous haha!”
After the words fell, Gawain clapped his hands, and then he said to Bai Xing.
"As for Xiao Baixing, don't worry, I am short of too much money, so much that 500 billion beli is nothing.
The more this happens, the less necessary it is for us to be frugal, haha.
Buy whatever you need to buy, after all, it is our future home, a new ship worth more than 700 billion Pele. If it is not renovated properly, it will be a waste!"
Gawain raised his wine glass and said to everyone with a big smile.
"cheers!"
"Haha, cheers!"
"I'm used to it. I was a captain who was never rich, but no matter how poor you are, banquets are indispensable. This is the heroism of a man at sea, haha!"
"I still have a lot of savings at my home in the Dragon Palace Kingdom. When I have time, I will get them all, haha!"
"I still have a lot of treasures on my Nine Snake Island. If it were Gawain, I could just move them away. I just need to leave a mouthful of food for my people!"
Listening to everyone talking about drinking and working together, Gawain shook his head speechlessly.
In particular, he patted Hancock's shoulder hard.
Seeing Hancock's "He touched me! I'm getting married! What's the name of the child?" look on his face again, Gawain gradually became serious.
"Hancock."
Gawain said seriously.
"Never mention anything about taking treasures from your kingdom, especially now that our lives have just begun.
My journey may not be peaceful, and what I do in the future may also become a nightmare for countless people.
But remember, the process may not be harmonious, but my purpose has always been to bring more to you and me, and to everyone on this sea, rather than to take more from their hands!
This is crucial!”
The moment Gawain finished speaking, Big Bear on the side suddenly picked up his notebook and pen and started recording quickly.
This sentence is very important, so of course you must remember it clearly.
As for what Lord Gawain said before, don't be in a hurry to pay back if you owe too much...
There is no need to think about it, Daxiong deleted it directly, which is really unseemly for adults!
Noticing Big Bear's movements, Gawain suddenly remembered something, so he turned to Hancock, who was blushing.
"By the way, Hancock, three whole months have passed, and there are some things I haven't said to you.
We will set off directly tonight, and all future training will be conducted at sea, so it’s time to have a good chat with you about those things!
Let’s put it this way, the training in the afternoon will be postponed, you all can rest by yourself, Hancock and I will find a place to chat alone.”
At this moment, Hancock's whole body was filled with steam.
Gawain and I…we…alone….
Moreover... Gawain had many things that he wanted to say to me for three whole months!
Upon hearing this, Hancock's whole body seemed to have been boiled and was completely covered with a layer of bright red.
But then, she heard Gawain continue to speak.
"Big Bear is also with us, and this matter is also related to you!"
…
As soon as the words fell, Hancock was suddenly filled with dark clouds. What happened to the big bear here?
For a moment, the way she looked at the big bear made the big bear tremble.
Big Bear always feels that someone is trying to kill him!!!
