One Piece: Starting as the First Mate of the Lothar Pirates

Page 102

Boom!

Thor's Shock Punch and Super Gravity Punch clash from a distance.

A radiant light, even more dazzling than the sun, burst forth.

What followed was an unparalleled and terrifying shockwave that instantly swept across the entire island, devastating the wild forests.

I don't know how much time passed, but the buzzing sound that had been lingering between heaven and earth receded like the tide.

Once everything has calmed down, the world will return to peace.

The giant Susanoo, still standing tall.

However, Bruno's desperate struggle, despite his multiple abilities, was not entirely useless against him.

Susanoo's entire right arm, along with a large portion of his body, was shattered.

As for Bruno...

[Congratulations, host, for defeating numerous ability users! The Paramecia-type Devil Fruit has been successfully acquired.]

"What a useless bastard!"

The treant-like forest angel Ariel frowned as he looked at the severely injured and unconscious Bruno, and hurled merciless insults at him.

"What a nasty forest bastard. Let's just say this guy is your partner for now." Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow.

"Heh, only those who are useful are qualified to stand with me."

The forest angel sneered, then changed the subject.

"Fine, you can go now. This farce is over."

"That's it? Who decided that?" Luo Chuan laughed. "Only I can decide whether this battle ends or not!"

Luo Chuan's goal in visiting the Forest Kingdom was to obtain the Forest God's Abundant Fruit; the many fruits were merely an unexpected bonus.

He won't leave until he gets his hands on the Mori-Mori Fruit.

"hehe"

The forest angel smiled.

"Do you think you can defeat me?"

"Even the two of you combined are no match for me. Now that you're all alone, do you think you can escape?"

"Then let me ask you, do you know why this island is called the Forest Kingdom?"

The forest envoy suddenly asked, and before Luo Chuan could speak, he answered himself, "This is my home turf. I have been managing this island for decades. Every flower, every blade of grass, every tree here was created by my power. As long as there is one tree that survives, I will not die. Do you understand now? As long as I am on this island, I am immortal! No matter what you do, it is all in vain!"

"I see."

Luo Chuan nodded knowingly.

"If you know, then get out of here..."

Before the forest envoy could finish speaking, Luo Chuan calmly said, "Since this island belongs to you, then just destroy it."

"Aha?"

The forest angel seemed to have heard the most outrageous joke.

Before he could even utter a sarcastic remark, utter destruction struck in the next second.

The forest spirit suddenly looked up, and found that the sky was now framed by layers upon layers of dark clouds.

A huge ball of lightning shot out from the clouds and fell toward the island.

"Lei Ying!!!"

Boom!

A magnificent firework blooms on the sea of the New World.

An immense amount of thunderous energy raged across the kingdom of the forest spirits, mercilessly destroying all carbon-based life forms.

Since the forest god said that the island is himself and no one can defeat him, then it's even simpler: just destroy the island.

For other powerful characters, such as Rocks, it would be difficult to achieve this because they only have single-target ultimate skills and no large-area AOE.

In a sense, there's really nothing we can do about this sixth brother who hides his true form deep in the forest and can move and dodge at any time.

But Luo Chuan is different. When it comes to area-of-effect damage, the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit is truly professional. One lightning strike will ensure that not a blade of grass will be left standing. If that's not enough, then another one will be fired.

"Damn it! Damn it... Aaaaah!" Forest angel Ariel screamed hysterically.

He tried to escape, but the entire island was sealed off by endless, violent lightning energy.

As a Logia-type Mori-Mori Fruit user, he is naturally able to transform into elements.

However, elementalization is not a panacea.

There is also a balance of power between natural systems.

Just like lava is the superior of fire, it can even burn away flames.

The Wood-type Forest Fruit is countered by the Fire-type Burning Fruit.

The violent power of thunder is also the natural nemesis of the Forest Fruit.

Even when the forest god Ariel is elementalized, he is still a physical tree.

Being struck by lightning can either turn you to ashes on the spot or turn you into a piece of lightning-struck wood; there is no way to avoid it.

[Congratulations, host! You have defeated the forest-type Devil Fruit user. The Logia-type Forest Fruit has been successfully acquired.]

……

Chapter 106 The Supreme Elevator! Zoro has become my grandson?

Lei Ying—Destroy the island!!!

Under the ultimate AOE attack of the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the Forest God's domain, despite having an entire forest as his home ground, was nowhere to hide.

Luo Chuan didn't need to search for his true form at all; he simply overturned the table and destroyed everything indiscriminately.

If it were another type of natural being, it might be able to survive by relying on its special characteristics.

Unfortunately, Mori Mori is extremely incompatible with the power of thunder.

Even when the tree is elementalized, it is still a tree.

Ultimately, following the Superman series of Devil Fruits, the Nature series of Forest Fruits was also successfully included.

"Comfortable!"

Luo Chuan let out a long, relaxed breath.

This trip to the forest kingdom was truly a success.

Not only did they successfully acquire the target fruit, but they also unexpectedly acquired a premium large fruit – the "Multiple Fruits" – and finally gained a little fan.

"Miss Zhenzi, how did you end up on this island?" Luo Chuan asked casually.

While female fans are adorable, Luo Chuan can't keep them around forever, as his future path is far from smooth and destined to be filled with battles.

"Ah...oh, I...we just happened to be passing by this island and planned to rest here and find something to eat, but I didn't expect..."

Speaking of this, Shimotsuki Shinko finally remembered Kousaburo and the others, and her pretty face was filled with anxiety.

Luo Chuan: "..."

So, the little fangirl's friends were accidentally wiped out by his area-of-effect attack?

How can a benefactor instantly become an enemy?

How incredibly embarrassing!

"Hey, over there! Everyone's not trapped; they've already escaped from the island." Shimotsuki Shinko's eyes suddenly lit up as she pointed to a ship near the island.

Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that it was good that the little fangirl's friends weren't idiots; they even knew to run home during the 'thunderstorm'.

Swish!

The power of the Instant Instant Fruit is activated.

Luo Chuan, accompanied by Shimotsuki Zhenzi, stepped onto the samurai's ship.

At this moment, the samurai led by Kousaburo are completely immersed in the shock of the island's destruction, unable to extricate themselves.

"Everyone, I'm back!" Shimotsuki Shinko smiled as she looked at the stunned figures.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the warriors were jolted awake and snapped back to their senses.

"Zhenzi!"

"Miss!"

"Miss Zhenzi is back safe and sound!"

"Wow, that's great! That's really great! Thank God!"

The warriors cheered excitedly.

"I was able to return safely thanks entirely to Lord Luochuan's help," said Shuangyue Zhenzi.

Upon hearing this, Yixing Guan Zongyun noticed Luo Chuan at the bow of the ship.

In an instant, the four trees were filled with blood and gore.

The samurai, who had only recently left the closed-off country of Wano, had no idea who Rakukawa was.

But they knew that the man who had just fought the terrifying tree-man brothers and even destroyed an entire island was definitely the person in front of them.

“Mr. Luochuan, my name is Shimotsuki Kozaburo. Thanks to you, we were able to escape from that island, and Zhenzi was able to return. We are truly grateful for your help!”

Shimotsuki Kozaburo bowed solemnly at a 90-degree angle to express his gratitude.

"Thank you so much!"

The other craftsmen, including Yuan You, also bowed and expressed their gratitude.

At this very moment.

Hearing the young Shimotsuki Kozaburo introduce himself, Luochuan was stunned.

Because he finally remembered, no wonder the name Shimotsuki Nobuko sounded familiar before.

After seeing Shimotsuki Kozaburo, how could Luo Chuan not know that the little fangirl he casually saved was the grandmother of Roronoa Zoro, the second-in-command of the Straw Hat Pirates and the future world's greatest swordsman?

The samurai on this ship are the same group who fled from Wano Country and went to settle in Shimotsuki Village in the East Blue.

Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, it was he who encountered it.

"Lord Luochuan~"

Seeing Luo Chuan suddenly freeze in shock, the samurai, including Shimotsuki Kozaburo, were all at a loss. In the end, it was Shimotsuki Shinko, who was relatively familiar with him, who stepped forward and waved her hand in front of Luo Chuan.

"Oh."

Luo Chuan snapped out of his daze, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

"So you're Kousaburo!"

"Mr. Luochuan, do you know me?"

Frost Moon Kōzaburō was taken aback.

“This is our first time meeting, but the swords you forge are very famous in this sea,” Luo Chuan said casually.

"Is that so?" Shimotsuki Kosaburo was somewhat flattered.

He is indeed a famous swordsmith master in Wano Country.

The characters for Enma and Wado Ichimonji were both created by him.

In addition, many sword works have ended up overseas.

Before long, Luo Chuan became acquainted with Shuang Yue Geng Sanlang.

Seeing how approachable Luochuan was, the other samurai and carpenter Yuanyou on the ship gradually lost their fear.
