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

This is Loki, the cursed prince!!!

On the day he was born, his mother, out of fear of his demonic eyes, threw him into a 10,000-meter abyss, sending him to the underworld.

He survived thanks to his ancient giant physique and crawled back from the underworld, but was still rejected by his mother.

His biological mother even spread rumors throughout the country cursing the prince, causing him to be scorned by the entire nation.

Since his birth, whenever anything bad happened in Elbaf, people would blame it on him.

He was furious!

He caused a huge scene!

He ruined it!

He wants to destroy!

All that was left was endless emptiness.

Using his physical advantages as an ancient giant, he brutally beat his older brother Halding, who was born earlier than him.

Although it seemed like he had won the battle, Halding, who had lost, had many companions comforting him.

At that moment, he knew he had lost, lost completely.

He wanted to die, but his powerful physique made it impossible for him to die.

In the end, he could only cry alone in the snowfield.

Just then.

"Hey, you giant brat over there!"

Loki heard shouts coming from not far away.

He sat up and looked toward the source of the sound, where six small humans were walking toward him.

"Hahaha, this brat is relying on his devilish face!" Shiki laughed.

"Even for giants, this is way too big. By the way, is this big brat crying?" The young white-bearded man raised an eyebrow.

"She looks so pitiful~" Miss Bakin's expression softened.

"Hahaha, kid, stop with your pathetic tears and answer two questions now," Lockes said with a loud laugh.

Loki wiped the tears and snot from his face, sat up straight, and curiously looked at Luo Chuan and his group. This was the first time he had ever seen humans.

“First, this is Elbaf, the land of giants, right? Second, Harald should be here!” Rocks said.

“This is Elbaf, that’s right, but my dad’s not home right now. He’s gone on an expedition,” Loki replied in a childish voice.

“Dad? Is this kid the Harald’s son that Rocks was talking about?” Newgate raised an eyebrow.

“Exactly!” Luo Chuan nodded.

I spent half a day wandering in the underworld, all for the sake of meeting him.

"Harald went on an expedition? That's unfortunate, but you can still contact someone on an expedition, right?" Rocks' furrowed brows relaxed as he looked at Loki and asked, "Kid, what's your name?"

"Loki!"

“Very good, Loki. Now do as I say. Go home immediately and have someone contact your father, saying, ‘Loki is seriously injured and must return to Elbaf immediately.’” Rocks grinned.

"Huh? Why should I listen to you little humans? Besides, I've been injured far too many times. Do you think my dad would come back for something so trivial? You look like a weakling and you dare to order me around..."

Loki's naturally volatile temper, combined with his environment, has shaped his irritable personality.

After his initial curiosity subsided, Loki revealed his manic nature and threw a punch at Rocks.

Seeing this, Rocks was not angry but pleased, and his smile gradually widened.

Boom!

A powerful shockwave, like a heavy hammer, struck Loki's body, causing him to be severely injured and fall unconscious on the spot.

"Hahaha, look! This is terrible! Loki is seriously injured!" Rocks laughed wildly.

“Hey, hey, hey, Rocks, that’s too much. You can’t just hit a child like that.” Newgate frowned.

"What does it matter? We're Hai Mou! We're prepared to fight!"

"Hahaha, this is truly an extraordinary evil party!" Shiki laughed.

"Poor thing~" Miss Bakkin touched Loki's face with pity.

"Lox"

Luochuan spoke.

"What? Do you want to lecture me too?"

Luo Chuan shrugged and said, "I don't mean to lecture you, I just want to ask you, you knocked out the locals we finally met, so who's going to lead the way now?"

Rocks was completely stunned: "?!"

That's right!

Hastily!

……

Chapter 117 Digging Under the Giant King's Wall! The Codex of Halley! Finally, Harald is Seen!

A frozen wasteland, the underworld.

The six-member Locke group continued their journey through the desolate wilderness.

Above their heads floated a plank of wood, and Loki's eyes rolled back as he collapsed unconscious.

"Honestly, could you please think before you act next time?" Newgate complained.

Lockes pursed his lips and remained silent.

His idea was good, the only flaw being that he didn't ask for directions before taking action.

Luo Chuan shook his head. With his abilities, he could easily lead the way.

If Rocks hadn't seriously injured Loki, things would have been fine. But now that it has happened, if Loki wakes up and starts talking, things will get really funny.

The giants of Elbaf no longer liked Loki; Loki was still their prince.

The prince was severely injured by the invading humans, and the giants would not stand idly by no matter what, so a great battle was inevitable.

Yes, when Harald returns, he will see a country that has already been destroyed.

Rocks originally intended to recruit Harald, but this incident directly created a deadly feud.

It is the first mate's job to prevent trouble caused by the captain's recklessness.

We went around in circles.

As night fell.

Luo Chuan and his group of six walked out of the forest and returned to the seaside.

"Hehehe, Captain, there seems to be a small tavern over there." Shiki, flying high and seeing far, spotted a small tavern on the distant seashore.

"Oh, the tavern, just in time!" Rocks exclaimed, taking off like a madman.

Before long, the group of six arrived at the tavern on the coast.

Ita's Little Tavern!!!

Ding-a-ling~

The doorbell rang at the tavern.

"Welcome, light..."

Just as Ida, the tavern's signboard girl with curly hair and thick lips, was about to warmly greet the human guests from overseas, her gaze was drawn to Loki lying dead on the wooden plank.

"Oh, little Loki..."

Ida rushed out from behind the bar and came to Loki's side, her face filled with panic and unease.

Although the child never liked her, that didn't stop Ida from liking him.

Ida knew about Loki's experience of being rejected by his biological mother and felt a deep connection to him.

To Ida, Loki was just like Halddin, both of whom were her sons.

"How could this happen, little Loki? What terrible thing happened to you..." Tears welled up in Ida's eyes.

“Signboard Girl, we found this child in the forest. Are you acquainted with him?” Miss Bakkin asked with a smile.

Newgate: "..."

They're here!

They're lying again!

"Yes, esteemed guests, please wait a moment while I take Loki to get bandaged up."

As Ida spoke, she quickly picked up Loki and carried him into the inner room to give him emergency first aid.

“Mom, don’t help him. This guy was talking bad about you before.”

With a bandage stuck to his nose, Halding opened his mouth in dissatisfaction.

"Wow~ My Halding is so cute~"

Ida patted her son's head.

"But you can't say that, Loki is your brother, you should get along with him!"

“I don’t have such a violent brother!” Halding said angrily.

Ida had to coax Haldin for a while before she finally convinced him to help guard Loki by the bedside.

"Guests, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!" Ida returned to the bar. "Thanks to all the kind people who saved that child today, as a token of our gratitude, the drinks are on the house today, please help yourselves."

"Hahaha, don't worry about it, it was nothing." Lox laughed, without the slightest bit of guilt.

Newgate: "..."

I have never seen such a shameless person!

They did bring the badly injured Loki, but don't ask how he got so badly injured.

"Hahaha, boss lady, bring the wine! I'm the one who brought this child back!" Shiki laughed loudly.

"Please wait a moment, it will be here shortly!"

Ida picked up the barrel and poured the wine into large goblets.

"Guests, please try some of Elbaf's specialties."

Glug glug~

They sucked on the fishy-smelling water from the cup and drank heartily.

"We have wine, but how can we not have meat?" Lox pressed his advantage.

"The meat will be served soon."

Ida responded and soon brought out a huge plate and placed it on the table in front of Lockes.

"This is an moose we just hunted today, Mr. Rocks, please have a taste!"

"Oh? You know me?" Lox raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"Gentlemen of the Locusts Company, who on this vast ocean doesn't recognize you now?"

Ida's gaze swept over Luo Chuan, Newgate, and the others.

"However, the first time I heard about Mr. Lockes was eight years ago, when Harald told me about someone he met there after returning from the World Conference."

"You know Harald?" Lockes' eyes lit up immediately.

“Yes, Mr. Lox.” Ida nodded.

"Can you contact him and call him back?" Locke asked again.

“I just contacted him, and he’s on his way back!” Ida said.

If her biological son had been seriously injured, and it was Haldin, with her as his mother by his side, Ida wouldn't have interfered with Harald's important affairs.
