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

Those gathered here are all members of the White Knight Pirate.

Everyone drank the beer in their hands and joked with each other. 

There were sounds of laughter and playfulness everywhere. This scene even reminded Zephyr of the group of marines under his command.

Whenever he led his disciples to defeat the pirates, causing chaos in an area, and held a celebration banquet, the new recruits would have the same expression and gesture on their faces.

"Yes, it really is."

Zephyr sighed, then found a place to sit down silently, looking at the people around him, wondering what he was thinking.

Fujitora sat down in front of him, looking at the people around him with a smile on his face: "They are just a group of ordinary people."

"Ahh..."

Zephyr responded and fell silent.

At this moment, the female waitress at the bar came over with a sweet smile on her face, handed two glasses of beer to the two men, took out two pieces of bread from behind, and then said to them: "It is the captain's rule that disabled people have free bread and wine."

The waiter winked playfully: "After all, this is the nursing home that the captain left for us, hehe."

After saying that, before Zephyr and Fujitora could react, the waiter was called over by the pirates from other tables.

Zephyr was lost in thought as he stared at the bread and beer in his hands. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he let out a long sigh: "Now I understand why so many people came to greet him spontaneously when he returned."

"Even the marines who fought to the death for justice would not be treated this way."

"Many of them were discharged due to injuries and never heard from again."

After speaking, Zephyr slowly put the bread in his hand into his mouth.

The skin is crispy, the inside is soft, and it has the aroma of milk and eggs.

Although the quality and taste are not comparable to the food specially provided to the Admiral, it is still a rare treat for these people.

"Haa…"

Zephyr finished eating the bread and heaved a sigh of relief, feeling the long-lost sense of relaxation and comfort.

"Bread and beer. When I became a pirate, I dreamed of such a life."

The drunken voice of the pirate at the next table also reached Zephyr's ears at this moment.

"Who isn't?"

An obviously elderly pirate wearing a turban slumped in a chair.

He drank the beer in the cup in one gulp and burped. The smell of alcohol made the people around him move away subconsciously, but they returned to their original positions after the smell dissipated, waiting for his next words.

The pirate with the turban continued while holding his wine glass: "When I was in my hometown, my family was in the beer business. I had some property and a wife."

"By the way, she is very beautiful, just like Gaza-sama!"

"You boost too much!"

There was a burst of laughter all around.

Everyone obviously didn't believe him and thought he was just daydreaming. After all, if such a day really came, who would be willing to become a pirate?

Only Zephyr noticed something and turned around to hand the beer to the pirate with a turban.

What came to his mind at this moment was his long-deceased wife and children.

They all died at the hands of pirates.

Zephyr couldn't help but ask: "What happened later?"

"Later?"

The pirate took a deep breath and spoke in a calm tone as if he were telling someone else's story: "That year, the nobles in the territory suddenly raised taxes on me. I tried to defend myself, but they had guns."

"I could only sell the winery, but the tax suddenly increased several times, and I still didn't have enough money."

"They took my wife away in front of me, saying it was a tax deduction, but the next day…"

The pirate's eyes gradually turned red as he spoke: "The next day, I saw my wife on a boat."

"I wanted to save her, but the people around me held me down. They told me that it was the lord's ship."

"They also said."

At this moment, everyone fell silent, looking at the pirate with a turban with eyes full of sympathy.

"It is my honor that the lord has taken a fancy to my wife. Why are you looking at me like that? You don't really believe it, do you?"

The pirate with the turban simply squatted on the table, slapped his thigh, and laughed: "Every time I tell this story, new people fall for it!"

"You all have to drink!"

Everyone suddenly realized that they had been deceived by the pirate with the turban's acting skills again.

For a moment, they felt cheated and reluctantly picked up the wine glass on the table and took a big gulp.

A simple lie cannot deceive people, but a lie mixed with the truth can definitely deceive people.

Only Zephyr noticed the tears that had not yet fallen in the corners of the pirate with the turban's eyes.

Zephyr couldn't help but whisper: "Why not ask the Marines for help?"

"You won't…"

The pirate with the turban wanted to deny it, but when he saw Zephyr with tears in his eyes, he immediately realized that the man in front of him had the same fate as him.

"But…"

The pirate with the turban said with a hint of ridicule on his lips, tears streaming down his eyes: "The Marines are on his side."

Zephyr was speechless for a moment; he just reached out and patted the pirate with the turban on the shoulder. He said, "I can understand you."

"I can."

The pirate with the turban smiled evilly at this moment: "Brother, have you been fooled by me?"

"But, I haven't seen you before. Which team are you from?"

Zephyr's face twitched, and he found a random excuse and said: "I'm a newcomer who just joined recently."

"Is that so? But you are still strong and healthy for being a pirate at such an old age!"

After speaking, the pirate with the turban did not delve into it. After all, those who could come in here, even if they were not members of White Knight Pirate, had Gawain's permission.

No matter what, it is our own people.

He stood up and said to everyone: "Cheers to my brother!"

"Cheers!"

Amid the crowd's enthusiastic cheering, Zephyr ordered another glass of beer at the bar and drank it in one gulp in front of everyone.

Fujitora sat in the corner, feeling this scene, with a faint smile on his face.

"If I had met these interesting people earlier, I wouldn't have destroyed my eyes."

"It's another bitter and regretful day."

That night, Zephyr was drunk for the first time in a long time, not only physically but also mentally.

He also listened to everyone's stories and pieced together one tragedy after another from fragments of their words.

Although there are some simple, unlucky ones, the vast majority of people become pirates for only one reason, they can no longer survive.

Become a pirate or die.

But the fundamental reason is that they have never been the pirate that Zephyr has always thought of, but at a higher level, so high that it is above the clouds, so high that it can be only called a god.

The service of mortals to God is as good as Heavenly Tribute!

In a drunken state, Fujitora heard Zephyr whisper: "It's not the pirates who created this era, but this era that created the pirates…"

At the same time, East Blue Marines 016 branch.

Under the night sky, several warships from the headquarters were anchored in the harbor, with the seagull flags fluttering in the sea breeze.

Ain stood in the harbor, letting the sea breeze blow her clothes, looking a little absent-minded.

"I hope Mr. Zephyr is alright…"

Although she had already known from the notice of the Marine Headquarters that White Knight Gawain had now become the new Warlord and was considered half an ally.

But the seven warlords of the sea are already fully staffed, and it is not difficult to guess that Gawain must have used Zephyr to make some unspeakable deal with the World Government.

This also made her more worried about Zephyr's safety.

"Captain Ain!"

"It's an order from headquarters!"
