I Will Be The Winner In The End

"Stop joking!"

A voice filled with suppressed anger instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Gawain lowered his eyes and saw Smoker's face twisted with anger. The latter's pupils seemed to be burning at this moment.

"It's my fault that I lost to you twice in a row."

"But I won't feel grateful to you for your kindness."

"You are too dangerous!"

"If we leave you alone, it will become a serious problem for the Marines in a few years. Countless civilians will suffer because of your existence!"

Even as he spoke, Smoker had already taken action.

White smoke suddenly rose from the sea, entangled with each other, and formed the shape of white snakes, which then opened their huge mouths and bit towards Gawain.

Each white snake's sharp teeth were filled with a dark Armament Haki!

Smoker knew how powerful the man in front of him was, so he didn't hold back at all and used all his strength.

After two months of training with Zephyr, his Armament Haki and Observation Haki have made significant progress; he even found the direction development of his own Devil Fruit ability.

Smoke is different from elemental abilities such as flame, lightning, and light. It does not have lethality and is naturally far inferior in terms of offense.

However, changes in morphology are easier to control than these three.

Therefore, by combining it with an Armament Haki that can greatly enhance the hardness or even fix the shape of the smoke, the shape-changing ability of the smoke itself can be pushed to the extreme while giving it powerful lethality.

The final result was the countless white snakes biting Gawain at this moment!

"White Snake!"

The next moment, Gawain's body was entangled by countless white snakes.

The sharp fangs covered in Armament Hakis bite Gawain's body, creating a spark, but it was ultimately unable to pierce it.

"Trouble."

Gawain was a little impatient.

He flapped his wings to blow away the attacking white snakes, but more white snakes emerged from the surrounding smoke the next moment and attacked him again.

At this moment, Smoker's figure emerged from the mouth of one of the white snakes, and his weapon, Nanashaku Jitte, stabbed Gawain fiercely!

"Since he is a person with devil fruit ability, there is no way he can survive if he is hit by the Sea Prism Stone!"

But at this moment, Gawain's indifferent voice rang in Smoker's ears: "Haaa..."

"I'm really stupid, really."

Looking at the man who was barking at him for the third time, Gawain finally realized that he was wrong, extremely wrong.

In his original plan, Gawain thought that as long as he showed a friendly side to the Marines, avoided direct conflict with them, and demonstrated strong combat power, he would be able to gain the favor of the World Government.

And when a vacancy occurs among the seven warlords of the sea, he will be given priority.

This should have been a perfect script, but he overlooked the most important part.

None of the seven warlords of the sea is recognized by the Marines and the World Government because they are well-behaved.

Hawk Eyes's combat power is comparable to the emperor of the sea, the Pirate Empress's unreasonable instant kill ability, Crocodile's unparalleled planning and layout ability, and Moria's powerful combat power that was enough to compete with Kaido when he was young.

Everything comes from its own strength!

In other words, those who can become the Warlords of the sea are not the loyal dogs of the World Government and the Marines but a group of ambitious people with their own thoughts!

Thinking of this, Gawain's mouth curled up into a sinister smile, and he simply gave up the idea of becoming a Warlord and used all his strength to kill everything in front of him!

It was also at this moment that something mysterious began to grow in his body; just like the Red Dragon Fruit, it was majestic and overbearing, symbolizing his absolute will.

It wants to dye the world in its own color!

"Oh."

"In that case, I will play this game to the end!"

Gawain's mouth curled up into a sinister smile, and the blue flame surged in his mouth, but he compressed it to the extreme and finally turned it into a laser…

Bang!

Boom!

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the warship under Zephyr's feet was cut directly in half from the middle, and melted steel was flowing at the cut.

Zephyr turned his head and looked.

Then, a laser was seen spreading to the sky, evaporating thick water vapor into the sea, which fell on an island in the distance and caused a violent explosion.

Boom!

Amidst the deafening sound, the volcano in the distance was directly ignited by Gawain's dragon breath, making it erupt with hot lava that almost boiled the surrounding sea!

"I'll say it again!"

"Get out of here, or I'll sink you to the bottom of the ocean!"

This time, even Zephyr could hear the undisguised murderous intent in Gawain's words.

He didn't know what happened to the man in front of him, but he could feel that Gawain had broken through some kind of limitation, had undergone a transformation, and had become… extremely dangerous!

If it was said that in the previous meeting, they just felt that this man had the potential to be comparable to Kaido in terms of talent.

Now he has the same will!

"You are too dangerous!"

"Your existence is a disaster to this world!"

Gawain: "Then come and kill me!"

"The messenger of justice?!"

"Hahahaha!"

Smoker, who had escaped the disaster by transforming into a smoke, slowly landed on the gradually sinking warship, with even more anger and unwillingness in his eyes: "Damn it!"

"Boy, you are no match for him. This battle… Huh?!"

Zephyr held Smoker down and was about to say something harsh when he saw Gawain flapping his wings and flying away into the distance.

Zephyr's face turned dark, and he almost couldn't hold it in.

So those harsh words just now were bullshit, right?!

Watching the red dragon flying away in the sky, Zephyr gritted his teeth and said with a dark face: "Ain, you stay and rescue everyone. Smoker and Binz, we'll chase him!"

"Understood!"

After a few minutes, a dragon flew across the sea. 

Several shells flew past its scales and fell into the water, splashing high columns of water, which Gawain smashed into pieces.

He even took the time to look back at Zephyr, whose face was as black as charcoal, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Since he has decided to fight back, the battlefield cannot be chosen on the sea. After all, only islands with strong vitality can bring out the power of the Red Dragon Fruit to its full potential!

Soon, an island with a diameter of tens of kilometers appeared in Gawain's sight, making his eyes light up slightly.

Because the entire island is covered with lush vegetation, birds and beasts occasionally fly out from the woods, demonstrating the island's vigorous vitality.

The more abundant the vitality is, the more suitable it is for living things to survive.

Gawain immediately decided to choose this place as the battlefield.

He folded his wings and landed on the island like a meteor.

Feeling the vitality flowing beneath the ground, a smile gradually appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"If it were here…"

"As long as he can't kill me in one second, then I will be the winner in the end!"

After speaking, Gawain raised his head and fired a dragon breath at the warships approaching from a distance, but Zephyr blocked it with the Battle Smasher in his hand.

Zephyr also took the opportunity to jump from the deck and landed steadily on the beach.

Feeling the heat coming from the Battle Smasher, Zephyr's gaze gradually turned cold: "With such a ferocious Devil Fruit ability… I made the right decision to come to the East Blue. If I let you go, you will definitely bring disaster to this world!"

"Pirates are indeed the source of all evil in this world!"

Gawain slowly returned to his human form, with one hand on the sword at his waist.

In today's frontal combat, he is still more accustomed to relying on his swordsmanship rather than his Human-Beast Form.

At this time, he couldn't help but ask: "Then Mr. Zephyr, who created the pirates?!"
