Since Father gave it to me, I naturally have the right to dispose of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I cannot offer any assistance to Mr. Gao Wen, who is about to enter the Grand Line—but this Devil Fruit is different.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine rubbed her temple, feeling a pounding headache, and couldn’t help but harbor a faint resentment toward Gao Wen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before meeting Gao Wen, Gasha had seemed to her nearly a perfect lord—aside from her unremarkable appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brave, wise, learned, kind—you could see every virtue taught in noble etiquette classes on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few years of managing the port, she had earned everyone’s respect; if this path continued, she truly might have challenged her brothers for the inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after meeting Gao Wen, Gasha had become like someone possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s just a good-looking, strong, slightly gentle pretty boy, isn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sounds pretty appealing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine recalled Gao Wen’s face—like a prince stepped straight from a romance novel—and said weakly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, before we can match it to a bestiary, we don’t even know its name. Have you considered it might be a useless ability?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasha froze:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s wait until we confirm this fruit’s ability before giving it to Mr. Gao Wen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zan Gao and the others said Mr. Gao Wen still has some time before he sets sail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine nodded vigorously, not wanting to dwell further on the topic, and shifted to the news she’d heard at the port:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, I heard the Haishangcantingbaladi  will arrive at Crow Harbor tomorrow and stay for three days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasha’s eyes lit up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That restaurant rated highest by the World Economic News in the East Blue?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we’re going there tomorrow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crow Harbor was brightly lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the docks stood a row of ship-based shops selling goods from the East Blue and beyond—even from the Grand Line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People bustled through the harbor, having long recovered from the previous war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now under the protection of the Gao Wen Pirates, the surrounding waters had grown safer, and the port had become even more prosperous than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most prominent among the shops was a restaurant in the center—or rather, a ship shaped like a giant fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baratie~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasha softly spoke the restaurant’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several guards followed her, alert to the crowd, yet still couldn’t help sniffing the air—the scent drifting from the restaurant was utterly unforgettable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one whiff, and you couldn’t forget it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man, about sixteen or seventeen, with short golden hair, handsome features, and gentlemanly manners, strode toward Gasha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man was Sanji, currently training as a chef aboard the Baratie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw Gasha, his heart pounded hard.

I shall provide you with the finest service~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasha thanked him and followed Sanji into the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the second-floor observation deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji poured red wine for Gasha with elegant motions, his eyes constantly glancing at her, his breathing slightly heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gasha’s gaze was drawn to a wanted poster pinned to the wall:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Knight Gao Wen, bounty: 85 million Berries? Has Mr. Gao Wen’s bounty increased again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasha’s lips curled into an involuntary smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had learned by now that a bounty reflected a pirate’s threat level—and also served as proof of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen’s rising bounty clearly meant the Marines were taking him more seriously, and his fame now overshadowed every other pirate in the East Blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasha wore an expression of quiet pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, don’t you know yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This happened over a month ago. Ever since the battle at Crow Harbor ended, Mr. Gao Wen’s bounty has been at this level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine’s voice trailed off, noticing the exhaustion in Gasha’s eyes, and felt a sudden, aching pity:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Port affairs have returned to normal. You should take a break for yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasha shook her head with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Gao Wen is advancing toward his dream—I can’t let him outpace me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must first make this the most prosperous port in the East Blue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two women spoke, they failed to notice Sanji had stopped his actions entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his eyes, his expression unreadable, until their voices faded, then spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies, I advise you not to idolize that kind of man—he abandoned the woman who loved him most and survived alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will never accept such a man bearing the title of knight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Sanji’s unmasked anger, Gasha frowned slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The man I know—the one who faced down Provincial Military Commander Krieg’s fleet alone to protect Crow Harbor’s civilians—would never do such a thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji clenched his teeth, nearly roaring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you know yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within three months of that man setting sail, Queen Guinevere was executed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasha froze, about to speak in Gao Wen’s defense, when a low voice cut in:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sanji!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve frightened our guests!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women turned to see an old man with an absurdly long chef’s hat and one crippled leg frowning at Sanji, bellowing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You idiot, do you remember what I told you? Absolutely never be so crude toward women!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Sanji bow his head in shame, Zepo turned to Gasha and explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please forgive him. Queen Guinevere meant something special to this boy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You damn old man!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji interrupted Zepo, and was immediately kicked into the sea by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water splashed up, drawing glances from passersby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zepo then turned to Gasha and the others with an apologetic bow:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My sincerest apologies—your meal tonight is on the house.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasha’s expression turned cold. With this, she had no appetite left. She turned and left with Jasmine and the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji, just climbing out of the water, watched Gasha stride away in silence. He lit himself a cigarette, stood alone for a long while, then walked back into the Baratie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered under his breath:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I guess I don’t deserve the title of knight either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>East Blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A skull flag with a round shield fluttered in the sea breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gao Wen Pirates sat gathered on deck, watching Nami play a movie via a Den Den Mushi projector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seductive queen falls for the loyal knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1092,"2026-06-20T23:03:52.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f8c8605a80b2bd72b8c7917f81e0a25f34b335fccb6f7b8533251c480e762c4e","if-you-don-t-try-hard-how-can-i-become-pirate-ki-chapter-67","if-you-don-t-try-hard-how-can-i-become-pirate-ki-chapter-65",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fif-you-don-t-try-hard-how-can-i-become-pirate-ki-cover.jpg"]
