The fish is hooked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He barely held back a laugh, his gaze calm as he looked at Sanji:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That request is entirely reasonable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, even the greatest chef would feel pressure cooking for everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gao Wen finished speaking, Sanji had already spun and sprinted toward the training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conference room door burst open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to look—and saw dust rising like a dragon, Sanji’s footsteps pattering like rain, faint words echoing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cook! Cook! Beautiful cook!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Gao Wen fell silent—not because he worried Sanji wouldn’t train hard, but because he feared this bastard would burn himself out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Gao Wen remembered the hidden power within Sanji’s body, and instantly relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in the original story, after Sanji awakened his Bloodline Factor in the New World, his durability alone ranked among the top—even there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blocking Kizaru’s laser beams with his bare fists? That was nothing. Taking direct hits from Kuma’s attacks and repairing his own twisted bones with punches? Routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, whether you admit it or not, Sanji’s combat performance after entering the New World clearly surpassed Zoro’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Wano battle against Kuma, Sanji simply activated the Bloodline Factor left by his old man—and caught up in one burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cheat life is this simple and unadorned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen turned to the others:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me add one more thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Starting with the first Martial Arts Tournament, the crew will establish a Hall of Fame—each tournament’s top three may inscribe their names on a stone tablet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuro froze, then his eyes lit up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if I place in the top three—or even first—in every tournament?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then your name will appear on every Hall of Fame roster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen spoke casually, but inside, he was thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaderboards, timed titles, rare rewards—this combo had been worn thin by pay-to-win mobile games, making most players scroll past instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for these pirates, it was the first time they’d ever seen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuro’s breathing grew heavy, his fighting spirit blazing wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d secretly plotted to overthrow Gao Wen—and even if he couldn’t beat him, he’d still consider himself second-in-command. How could he tolerate anyone else ranking above him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That yellow-haired brat got ahead of me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s already trained for minutes longer—doesn’t that mean he’s getting stronger faster?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine if I lose to Gao Wen—but I won’t lose to anyone else!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rush of air pierced the conference room—Kuro’s figure vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could react, the recently closed door exploded open, and a shadow streaked into the distance, trailing thick smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Akin—even Zoro, who’d just regained mobility—could no longer sit still:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s about a man’s dignity! How can we lose?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My name must be on the Hall of Fame!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both shouted at once, then turned and sprinted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen watched, nodding with quiet satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forceful domination was nowhere near as effective as awakening their own desires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the main targets gone and the tournament arrangements clearly announced, Gao Wen waved his hand and dismissed everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to when they arrived, each of them now burned with fire in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t care about the Hall of Fame, Devil Fruits, or legendary swords—that’s for the vice-captain and Captain Akin. But that profit share? That’s real!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right! With the crew’s current income, thirty percent means hundreds of millions of Berries—even one percent would be a million!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this isn’t even the limit! With Captain Gao Wen’s methods, this number will multiply—tenfold, even a hundredfold!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! I can’t fall behind—I—I—I’m going to train!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a bald, pot-bellied middle-aged pirate tugged up his pants and marched toward the public training grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t gone far\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when he stopped to gasp for breath—but after only a few seconds, he was running again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone around him did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just half an hour after the meeting ended, shouts of training echoed across Parra Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pirates stripped to the waist, training spontaneously everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the private training rooms, the Big Three—no, the Big Four—gritted their teeth, pushing each other, terrified of falling behind even a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t afford to lose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having your name on the Hall of Fame meant every new recruit could instantly see where each member stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could tolerate that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This space is limited. Senior, you’d better leave. Old men need rest and recovery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro swung a massive dumbbell in one hand, gritting his teeth against the pain from his wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuro didn’t back down:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re injured, stay injured. Don’t leave yourself with lifelong damage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two fell silent, turning to find Akin and Sanji had quietly added another set of training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two are cheating!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akin smiled silently and buried himself in training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Sanji wiped sweat from his brow, his legs whipping like whips, sending dummies tumbling everywhere, babbling incoherently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cook! No, Hall of Fame! Hall of Fame! No, cook!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cook!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cook!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuro and the others twitched their lips and ignored Sanji’s nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Parra Island was a scene of pure internal competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Nami seemed lost, watching the others train with burning passion, feeling an inexplicable anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone’s getting stronger—and I… I have to do something too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew she had no talent for combat; her greatest value lay in navigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the thought of her weakness becoming a burden to her crewmates after entering the Grand Line made her bite her lip hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Gao Wen’s office, her eyes slowly hardening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen patrolled around Parra Island and nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when passing the cultivation chamber, seeing the four leeks straining desperately to coil, he felt even more satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We should have a good harvest tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1055,"2026-06-20T23:03:52.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a74d00003e40287275823db789a8cb1df6fb32fe964acbc6d55331f909459cea","if-you-don-t-try-hard-how-can-i-become-pirate-ki-chapter-85","if-you-don-t-try-hard-how-can-i-become-pirate-ki-chapter-83",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fif-you-don-t-try-hard-how-can-i-become-pirate-ki-cover.jpg"]
