Chapter 207 - Possibility of recovery - How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?

"What a pity."

Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh, but he also knew that this idea would never be possible.

After all, not everyone has a means like Red Dragon, which absorbs the energy of the earth's veins and replenishes physical strength. Often, they are injured in a battle and have to be adopted for a long time.

Besides, Gao Wen could see that the battle just now was in the late stage, and the Golden Lion was in a state that was obviously wrong.

He had an absolute advantage, and his original purpose was not to repel or kill Gao Wen, but to accept Gao Wen and become a deputy like Rayley.

But with the last sword, the Golden Lion had violated its original purpose and directly killed the killer.

"Is it a wound on the top of the head?"

This is the only reasonable guess in Gao Wen's mind.

Even if the Golden Lion was well maintained, the rudder that was directly embedded in the skull still had a great impact on his body.

"but……"

"I haven't experienced a decent battle in twenty years, and I have such an old injury on my head. It's outrageous that I can still maintain the combat effectiveness of the General Emperor level."

"A few years later, if this thing is really the case, you have to get a lunch box when you meet. It is absolutely impossible to fight to that level."

"Unless there is something unknown in the middle that will cause the Golden Lion's combat power to decline rapidly."

"but."

"It has nothing to do with me, at most the next time I meet him, give him a decent ending instead of ending in a nearly humiliating way."

Between words.

The trauma on Gao Wen's bra came with a burst of pain.

Obviously, even with the ability of the celestial body, the slash with the overlord color is still extremely fatal to Gao Wen.

He immediately decided to find an island with abundant energy in the surrounding area to replenish his physical strength and repair his injuries before contacting Carlyfa and others.

Thinking of this.

On Gao Wen's shoulder, the red dragon wings extended, and gently swelled, and his whole body rushed towards the distance.

A few breaths.

Then it disappeared without a trace.

...

The other end.

Several islands hanging high above the sky slowly floated out of Alabastan.

The Golden Lion, who returned to the base camp, sat on his throne, beside him were several ship doctors dealing with the wound on his head.

"The rudder is embedded deeper, and has even grown with brain tissue, and is at risk of infection at any time."

Indigo looked at the golden lion's wound and frowned, unable to help but persuade:

"And the previous speculation was confirmed in this battle."

"Every time a strong emotional change, or frequent domineering battle that requires will to fight, will lead to worsening of injuries and embed the rudder deeper."

"Maybe it's the next time, or maybe next time, when the rudder hurts the motor nerves, it's too late."

“In other words.”

"Captain, you need to avoid high-intensity combat in the future."

"What are you kidding!"

The golden lion pulled out the needle on his body and grabbed Indygo's collar, his eyes full of reluctance:

"I can't fight, how can I capture this world?"

"If that guy Roger knew about it in hell, he would have laughed to death!"

He almost roared and said this.

But there was no funny thing on Indigo's face as he played in the past, only an indescribable solemn expression.

"Damn it!"

The golden lion roared, and when he was furious and unwilling, the rudder above his head came again with a burst of pain that made him almost crazy.

He covered his head with one hand and gritted his teeth and looked at Indigo:

"Is this thing really impossible to take it off?"

"At least we can't do it with our existing technology, and even the most cutting-edge medical skills in the world that I know cannot find a treatment."

Indygo looked at the rudder above the golden lion's head and sighed:

"I searched through medical books and found no other similar situation in cases where the rudder of the bombed ship was inserted into the brain and survived successfully."

"If you encounter such a thing, it can only be said to be God's punishment."

"god?"

The corners of the golden lion's mouth were wide open, and the pain in his brain made his expression unusually ferocious at this moment:

"If you are talking about Mary Joa's piglets, then I can only punish him!"

"Since medicine can't do it, let's take a gamble!"

Between words.

The golden lion grabbed the rudder above his head, and a trace of hideousness flashed in his eyes.

If the battle with Cap in the Warring States Period twenty years ago was only to let him know that the rudder embedded in his brain reduced his combat power, but was still within the scope of acceptance.

The battle with Gao Wen last night was already unacceptable to him.

Only those who have experienced this feeling of witnessing one's own decline can know how terrible it is.

The Golden Lion has witnessed the loneliness of countless powerful people, including Locks and Roger, who are almost invincible in the present, but none of them are in this way.

Compared to surviving in the corner, he prefers a sensational and grand ending.

Even before the end.

"Look at my luck, is it always as bad as it was twenty years ago-!"

The next moment.

Realizing what the Golden Lion was going to do, Indigo and others rushed forward, but were directly bounced away by the domineering aura that burst out all over his body.

Just as Golden Lion was about to forcibly remove the rudder on his head, a panicked voice reached everyone's ears.

"I have a way!"

"I know who can help you solve this problem!"

Golden Lion paused, and hope rekindled in his heart. After all, if there was no other way, who would be willing to gamble his life on that possibility?

He turned his head and saw Spandine hurried over. The latter spoke directly without a pause:

"More than a decade ago, a devil fruit flowed out of Mary Geoise, and it was called the surgery fruit."

"According to the records within the CP organization, that fruit can remove the heart while keeping the main body alive, and even things like personality exchange can be done."

"Removing the rudder on your head is no problem at all."

Now Spandine has put everything he has on Golden Lion, and naturally does not want Golden Lion to fall.

After all, in that case, what awaits him will be the endless pursuit of the World Government.

"Heh..."

Golden Lion was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and touched the rudder above his head, and his anger calmed down in an instant:

"Where is the fruit?"

"I don't know."

Spandine shook his head and continued:

"But what I know is that this fruit was once fought over by the World Government, the Navy and Doflamingo more than a decade ago."

"Its whereabouts are unknown, but it is definitely not in the hands of the World Government and the Navy."

"Is that Doflamingo?"

"No."

Spandine denied:

"According to the information we have, there is no similar ability user in the Don Quixote family, but there is something that I am very concerned about afterwards."

"Shortly after that fight, two people in the Don Quixote family disappeared."

"One is Doflamingo's younger brother, and the other is a teenager suffering from platinum lead disease."

"The former is confirmed to be dead, and the boy's name is... Trafalgar Law!"

...

Grand Route.

The waters near the rapeseed port.

A pirate ship was anchored near an island. All the crew members gathered on the deck and looked back at the battlefield in the distance.

It had been several hours since the battle.

The surrounding seas gradually calmed down, the wind and waves were calm, and everything was smoothed by the sea.

Only the uneasy hearts of the people became more and more chaotic.

At this moment, both Crocodile and Golden Lion had left.

Kalifa immediately suppressed her inner uneasiness and led everyone back to the Rapeseed Port.

When they entered the Rapeseed Port again, they saw only a ruin, and the criss-crossing cuts almost cut it into pieces.

No mistakes, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, take a look!

The once neat and tall buildings had been torn to pieces in the battle just now.

At this moment, they had a real sense of the intensity of the battle.

"Who won?"

Owl swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Although he was a prisoner on this ship, he did not want Gawain to lose here.

After all, Gawain did not make things difficult for them during this period of time because of Lucci.

Secondly, once the Golden Lion intervened in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Alabasta, the danger level of the entire incident would be directly raised to the highest level.

He had never experienced the era of the Golden Lion, but from the files recorded in the CP organization, he could already glimpse the terrifying combat power of the Golden Lion.

The knife just now made this horror shine into reality.

No one answered Owl's question.

Weiwei stood at the bow without saying a word, her lips were almost bitten and bleeding.

If Crocodile attacked Alabasta, she still had some resistance, then when the Golden Lion appeared here, it brought only despair.

If Gawain, the only one who was able to fight all this, fell here, then this country...

Weiwei did not think about it, nor did she dare to think about it. She did not even dare to ask Kalifa.

Even though she was less than fourteen years old, she could see that Kalifa had feelings for Gawain that went beyond being a friend.

If Gawain really died in the hands of the Golden Lion this time, Kalifa would be the one who suffered the most on the ship.

"He will win."

"The captain... will win."

Kalifa murmured, her eyes already red.

But that was the Golden Lion!

He had dominated an era, and he was the strongest man who had the World Government, the Navy One Piece, and even Whitebeard, who was now known as the strongest man in the world, as his opponents!

Who dared to say that he would definitely win?

"Sister Kalifa..."

Vivi was stunned, and then she heard a few snapping sounds under the moonlight. It was Kalifa's tears falling to the ground.

Everyone was speechless for a moment, but they had only one thought in their hearts.

Such power... Even a monster like the Knight Gawain could not contend with it, right?

No!

Even if he wanted to save his life, he couldn't do it, right?

"Bulu Bulu——!"

The sudden ringing of the bell broke the deathly silence at the scene.

Kalifa came to her senses and hurriedly took out the Den Den Mushi from her arms. After the call was connected, a familiar voice came.

"I'm out of here, where are you?"

Kalifa was stunned for a moment, and almost lost her grip on the Den Den Mushi in her hand. She was so excited that she spoke incoherently:

"Captain, I...I...I am willing to marry you. Ah, no, we are in Raven, no, in Rapeseed Harbor!"

"..."

Gawain on the other end of the receiver fell silent, and a helpless voice came back after a long while:

"Returning to Rapeseed Harbor, right?"

"Ah...Yes!"

Kalifa suddenly realized what she had said, and felt a flush on her face. She didn't even dare to look back at everyone.

But she heard the rustling of discussions behind her, and the meaningful gazes fell on her, making her scalp numb.

She turned her back to everyone, forced herself to maintain a cold image, and hurried back to the cabin after saying that Gawain was fine.

But it was also at this moment that she suddenly realized that she, who had said that she would make Gawain fall in love, seemed to have been the first to fall in love.

However.

It's good that the captain is fine.

...

On the deck.

Gabra looked at the direction where Kalifa disappeared, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. He even ignored the information that Gawain had successfully escaped from the hands of the Golden Lion:

"Kalifa is completely hopeless!"

Owl and Weitou nodded repeatedly, like pounding garlic:

"No hope, absolutely hopeless!"

"But in fact, Gawain's strength is stronger than what we have seen before, much stronger!"

Gabra sighed:

"Even a monster like the Golden Lion didn't leave him behind. If he were in the navy, such a person would be qualified to be an admiral."

"Also, send back the information that the Golden Lion appeared here as soon as possible."

"The last time that guy appeared, he destroyed half of Marinford. It's too dangerous!"

"Yeah."

...

As everyone admired, their hearts gradually settled down.

A group of ordinary crew members even felt an inexplicable sense of security at this moment.

At least under this pirate flag, even when facing a monster standing at the top of the world, their captain would fight to the death to buy time for himself to survive.

Such people, in this era, no longer need more words.

When Vivi learned that Gawain was still alive, her heart suddenly settled down, and she also realized at this moment that Gawain had become her backbone.

"Ikalem, Mr. Gawain is still alive, this country, no, the people of this country, there is still hope!"

Vivi was immediately excited, and even Ikalem beside her breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

"Mr. Gawain, he is much more powerful than we imagined, and he even has the power to fight against that monster!"

"But..."

"This port has been destroyed, and countless people will be displaced."

Vivi bit her lips and lowered her eyes.

She naturally would not blame Gawain for these problems, but simply empathized with the pain of the civilians.

"It will be better."

Ikalem patted Vivi's shoulder and comforted her:

"As long as Crocodile can be expelled, there will be no dancing powder, and there will be no Baroque Workshop, this country will develop in a good direction."

"Yeah."

...

Soon.

On the sea in the distance.

A figure came roaring and smashed into the Rapeseed Port like a meteorite, and the ground was cracked.

Gawain returned to the Rapeseed Port, turned his head and looked at Vivi and said:

"I'll take care of Alabasta's affairs."
