And it’s still smoking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words had barely left her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The box trembled visibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen even caught a glimpse of a small foot peeking out from beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, grabbed the spiky hairdo inside the box, and lifted it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man’s face instantly emerged from the box—his arms and feet barely extended beyond the edges, while the rest of his body was crammed tightly inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop pretending—you’re the one who fired that shot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen recognized the strange man trapped in the box: it was Kamon, the iconic Box Man from the original story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was unfortunate—having guarded a lifetime’s treasure that turned out to be nothing but a few boxes—but also lucky, for here he had found something truly worth protecting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me go! Pirate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamon struggled wildly, his stubby arms unable to reach even the top of his own head—the scene was absurdly comical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami pushed through the crowd, staring at the wriggling Box Man in Gao Wen’s hands, her eyes wide with astonishment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A person inside a box? How does anyone live like this?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others nearby grew curious and slowly gathered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the usually cold Kuro, unable to resist, poked Kamon’s face with a stick, making Akin’s mouth twitch:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a bit rude, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roar echoed from the distant trees as dozens of bizarre beasts burst forth, baring their fangs at Gao Wen, who held Kamon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Gao Wen’s overwhelming aura of killing intent failed to make them retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamon’s pupils shrank; his body, cramped inside the box, couldn’t turn around—he could only cry out anxiously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go back, all of you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I used to take down a whole pack of these things by myself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you harm my friends, I swear I won’t let you off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamon flailed his tiny arms—his threats had zero intimidation, and only made Gao Wen’s lips twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re making me look like the villain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen sighed, rubbed his head, and gently set Kamon down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his feet touched the ground, Kamon scurried forward on his stubby legs, placing his small body between the strange beasts and Gao Wen, glaring warily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t even think about touching them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen spread his hands:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As you can see, we’re pirates. A storm came, and we needed a place to hide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s convenient…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamon’s eyes lit up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine—but you have to help me retrieve something!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen nodded. He already knew what Kamon needed him to fetch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only you can come!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen nodded to Kuro and the others, telling them to wait, then turned and followed Kamon away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one, except Nami, raised any concern for Gao Wen’s safety—after all, if the enemy couldn’t defeat Gao Wen, everyone else here, except Kuro, would just be adding corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamon’s legs were short, but his pace was swift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within minutes, the two reached the island’s interior, heading toward a mountain peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen followed behind, unable to resist asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you afraid I’ll turn on you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamon halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can tell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your strength far exceeds any pirate I’ve ever seen. If you were truly evil, you would’ve killed me the moment I fired that shot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t look down on the weak—you’re nothing like a typical pirate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamon resumed his short-legged sprint deeper into the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen stood frozen for several seconds, then let out a wry smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I just get a ‘good person’ card?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feels pretty good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen quickly caught up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two reached the summit of a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive boulder stood at its center, rising nearly twenty meters above ground—Kamon’s height, even with his animal friends’ help, could never reach it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it—get that box down for me. Even if you take it after opening, I still want to see what treasure I’ve guarded for so many years!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamon’s voice trembled with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen, already knowing the answer, had no interest—he grabbed Kamon and tossed him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You see it yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, Kamon paid no attention—he heard several metallic clicks as boxes opened, then silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long, weary sigh came down:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… they already knew these boxes were empty back then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamon murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen’s voice rose again from below:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well? Did you find what you were waiting for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamon froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the highest point on the entire island—from here, he could see every corner of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of strange beasts moved across the island, slowly gathering toward his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These friends who had walked beside him for years—weren’t they, too, a treasure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamon wiped a tear from his eye:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The best treasure of all—worth protecting for a lifetime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen smiled faintly, catching Kamon as he dropped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamon looked up at him and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, I’ve found my treasure—what about you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After setting sail, is there something you’d wait twenty years for—even if it costs your life?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don't have it, even with great power, you will eventually lose everything to a stronger enemy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen froze, his mind going blank—he had never considered this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his transmigration, with the knife in his hand and his companions' efforts, he had no rival left in the East Blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had been too smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Monka at first, or later Krieg or A Long, none could withstand his swordsmanship for a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original plan was to make a name for himself on the Grand Line and become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was merely one step in the plan, not what Gao Wen ultimately sought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something worth giving one's life to obtain...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1104,"2026-06-20T23:03:52.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","aa44c5e5c7c57b5938c42db15d6144e64b2d0b328af6c59f892673b7e9889011","if-you-don-t-try-hard-how-can-i-become-pirate-ki-chapter-61","if-you-don-t-try-hard-how-can-i-become-pirate-ki-chapter-59",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fif-you-don-t-try-hard-how-can-i-become-pirate-ki-cover.jpg"]
