Pit

At night, Kalifa told Lucci the news from the day, and the latter showed a surprised expression on his face and asked doubtfully: "He doesn't even think highly of the Six Styles?"

Kalifa raised her hand and pushed up her glasses, with an unconscious blush on her face: "Sure enough, he likes me and even gave up the Six Styles fighting skills for me."

Lucci glanced at her and became more confident in his judgment.

If this continues, Gawain will not fall into Kalifa's arms, and Kalifa will not be able to accomplish her goal.

No, with Kalifa's current state… Why does he feel like she can no longer be saved?!

Lucci muttered a few words and had the idea of asking Kalifa to withdraw from the mission, but he did not show it. Instead, he focused on the Six Styles, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "From this point of view, the only reason is that he doesn't think highly of combat skills like the Six Styles."

Lucci shook his head, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "After all, he is a wild man. Even if he is powerful, his vision is limited."

"Although the Six Styles may not be as good as the secret skills of some powerful pirates in terms of performance, they are excellent combat skills for training subordinates."

"Training to a deep level can even help someone awaken their Armament Haki, and it is even more helpful for building their own power."

Kalifa pushed her glasses up. For some reason, she instinctively felt a little unhappy, and she said in defense: "Maybe he really just mentioned this to test us?!"

"After all, he was willing to go against the Beast Pirates and even face a powerful opponent like King alone in order to save the civilians of the kingdom?"

"If such a person could become king, his people would be able to live an easy life."

Lucci turned to look at Kalifa; his eyelids kept twitching.

No!

The next time he goes to the harbor, he will have to submit an application to the CP organization to transfer Kalifa.

She hadn't even dug her own pit yet, but she fell into the pit of White Knight Gawain!

Damn it!

He never expected that the only cabbage in his field would be eaten by a pig!

Or did she actively push herself?

For a moment, even someone as calm and indifferent as Lucci couldn't help but show a bitter face: "You… Sigh."

Lucci sighed but ultimately did not say what was in his heart.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that it was a mistake for him to take on this task.

On the one hand, he had to attack Gin, who was his close friend, and on the other hand, his comrades were about to betray him halfway through the mission.

Kalifa blushed when Lucci looked at her, and she quickly turned around and went into her room. Soon, a joyful song was heard from the room.

Lucci suddenly felt even more fucked up.

At the other end, Gawain sat in his office, looking at the experience he had just gained, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

"I've checked Chopper's potential before, and he's at the Silver level."

"If he grows up normally, he can at least reach the level of a Vice Admiral. According to the manga, he can withstand several attacks from Big Mom head-on…"

"I wonder if he touched the gold level?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Gawain's face, and he understood after thinking about it carefully.

In the manga, although Chopper is one of the cowardly trio along with Nami and Usopp, his cowardice is most likely due to his young age, naive personality, and childhood experiences.

As for the other two, at least in the early and middle stages, they were purely weak and had no systematic combat power.

Gawain nodded secretly: "Even now, Chopper is still a little short of the time it will take for him to join the Straw Hat pirates in two years."

"But the medical skills displayed on Drum Island are already top-notch. According to Kureha, Chopper, at this time, already made her feel like he could no longer be taught."

"And even without my deliberate guidance, Chopper has been influenced by the environment and joined the hardworking people on the deck, right?"

A faint smile appeared on Gawain's lips.

From Lucci to Chopper, after the two newcomers joined the group, they were quickly assimilated into the fanatical training atmosphere within the Pirate crew and joined in either actively or passively.

And because of the feedback to their body, they became more and more addicted, which even exceeded Gawain's initial expectations.

After all, it was in their mind.

It is necessary to bundle the crew with actual monetary benefits and honorary things such as team status to create an evolutionary environment.

The fact is that even if it is just pure training, after these leeks feel the process of becoming stronger, they have become addicted to it and cannot extricate themselves, showing an increasingly crazy state.

"In short, the situation is developing roughly in the direction I expected."

"It can be predicted that any new members who join the group will soon be assimilated into the atmosphere within the Pirate crew and become crazy in training. This…"

Gawain was shocked, sensing something was wrong: "Group enlightenment plus a halo of reducing intelligence?… What a mess."

Gawain shook his head, clearing away the messy thoughts in his mind.

After he turned around and calculated today's gains, he had a clear idea of the experience increase that Chopper had brought: "Chopper can provide about 100 points of physique and Zoan fruit experience every day, making the upgrade speed of the Red Dragon fruit and physique faster."

"And these two skills have reached a critical point. If they are upgraded to the next level, they will unlock new Features."

Gawain turned his attention back to the system panel.

When they enter the Drum Kingdom, the members of the White Knight Pirate have been carrying out operations in various places or recuperating from injuries, and their training has been delayed.

Therefore, although the experience of various skills has increased, it is much slower and has not yet reached the critical point of improvement.

Gawain's focus is still on the three items of physical strength, Red Dragon fruit, and Six Styles:

> Physique: Level 14 (52,343/75,000) Feature: Equilibrium, Harmony

> Human-Beast Form Physique: Level 16 / Demon Form Physique: Level 16 / Beast Form Physique Form: Level 17

> Devil Fruit, Red Dragon: Level 4 (1,033/15,000)

> Six Styles (All): Level 3 (4,676/15,000)

Both physique and Red Dragon fruit are Gawain's core combat power.

Unlike skills like sniping, which bring little actual benefit even at the maximum level, once a breakthrough is achieved, Gawain's combat power will inevitably undergo another qualitative change.

Today, the physical development pattern is basically fixed.

From the initial balance of evenly adding points to the perfect control of the body's synchronization later, he's moving in the direction of a hexagonal warrior. The Features that can be awakened next should also be of the same type.

Although it was still unclear what the features were, however, Gawain knew that it would definitely be a qualitative change.

What Gawain is looking forward to more is the kind of branch feature the Red Dragon fruit will awaken. 

After all, judging from the features given for the two major categories of physique and swordsmanship, even if it is an ordinary Zoan fruit, after adding up several features, it can reach a level that is not inferior to the Mythical Zoan fruit.

In short, even though he didn't know what branch features would appear, Gawain was sure that if he met King again, he would be able to pin him to the ground.

Then Gawain's eyes fell on the Six Styles, and his brows slightly frowned:

"The growth rate of Six Style is much slower than I expected."

"Although the Six Styles do not improve my current combat power much, at most, they can only make up for my shortcomings in physical skills, but they are of great value to the crew."

"Although it is only at the third level, it is enough to summarize some things for newcomers to get started."

"I will then give it to Gin and the others to practice, gain experience, and feedback to myself, thus achieving a virtuous cycle."
