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

But precisely because he is Loki, who has never had a mother's love since childhood, how pitiful he would be if he also didn't have a father's attention.

Ida will not allow this to happen, so she has already contacted Harald.

"Hahaha, this is really great!"

Lockes laughed with delight, not expecting things to go so smoothly.

“Hey, Giantess, what’s your name!” Rocks said.

“I’m not called Hey, I’m called Ida!” Ida replied humorously.

“Idiot Rocks, the sign outside clearly says Ita’s Tavern,” Newgate retorted.

"Hahaha"

In a great mood, Rocks didn't argue with Newgate.

"Ida, you are such a kind and understanding woman, I'm starting to like you a little!"

“That won’t do, Mr. Lox, I’m already married and have a son,” Ida said with a smile.

"Oh? A married woman..."

Before Rocks could utter any earth-shattering words, Luo Chuan grabbed a piping hot piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into Rocks' mouth.

"Go eat your food."

Their acquaintance with Ida provided the Rocks Corps with direction.

Soon, the logistics team that stayed behind on the Fury also found the tavern by following the life cards.

The lively celebration banquet lasted for three days.

"Why hasn't anyone been sent from the castle yet?" Ida looked worriedly at Loki on the sickbed.

As early as the morning after Loki delivered the item, Ida sent Halding to the warrior Nishimura to inform him of the matter.

Haildin's teacher, Redding, clearly stated that he had informed the castle of the situation, but no one cared.

For the castle guards, Loki getting injured was commonplace and nothing to worry about.

In addition, the giants of the castle all kept their distance from Loki, the cursed prince.

Harald returned home on the seventh day.

Orsto Castle finally sent someone to the tavern to bring Loki back.

As guests of Lokien and Harald, Luo Chuan and his party also visited the castle in the Yang Realm.

"What? So the giants all live in the trees. No wonder we couldn't find them anywhere down there," Rocks exclaimed in understanding.

“The Tree of Adam is even bigger than I imagined,” Newgate remarked.

"Hahaha, I could make a fortune just by taking this back with me." Shiki's eyes lit up.

"Esteemed guests, please refrain from wandering around." The giant guard watched the giant with suspicion, only breathing a sigh of relief afterward.

Adam's precious tree was vital to the survival of the giants, and they would never allow anyone else to touch it.

"It's just a broken tree, why bother arguing with it?" S curled his lip.

"Isn't this because you and Shiki kept going on and on about how valuable Adam the Treasure Tree is?" Newgate quipped.

"Hehehe, don't worry about such trivial matters, come on, we can get another meal." Shiki was the first to float to the table full of food.

"Come to think of it, it seems like we haven't seen the first mate since the beginning." Miss Bakkin looked around to confirm that Luo Chuan was missing.

“Hahaha, don’t worry about it, that guy isn’t a brat, he won’t get lost!” Rocks said.

……

……

At this very moment, in Elbaf, in the heavens.

Luo Chuan looked up at the ancient murals on the tree trunk.

The Grimoire of Halle!

It is divided into three parts, representing three different 'worlds'.

First World.

Flames appeared on the earth.

Humanity, driven by desire, touched the forbidden sun.

The slave prayed, and the sun god appeared.

The god of the earth was enraged, and together with the serpent of karmic fire, he ravaged the world.

They will never see each other again.

"The serpent of karmic fire is the red earth continent, which divides the world in two."

Second World.

In the void, breath surges.

The forest god dispatched demons, and the flames of war between the suns continued to spread.

The people of the half-moon had a dream, and the people of the moon also had a dream: humans killed the sun and became gods.

The god of the sea was furious.

From that time on, they could never see each other again.

"Could the Half-Moon People be D? Could the Ocean God be referring to the Mermaid Princess?"

The Third World.

In the midst of chaos, emptiness emerges.

The turbulent afterimages recall the promised day, and listen to the weeping of the shattered moon.

The sun god danced and laughed, leading the world toward its end.

The sun returns, and a new dawn arrives.

They will meet again eventually.

"The final outcome will be the unification of the world!"

Everything was preordained.

……

……

Orsto Castle.

"Loki, how are you? Are you starting to get better and fully recovered? That's wonderful!"

Harald the Giant rushed into the castle in a panic and went to Loki's room.

Seeing her son safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.

"Loki, I know you're strong, but you still shouldn't go to the Underworld too often. There are a lot of deadly things down there."

Loki: "?"

Dad, are you really back?

Did he come back specifically for me?

How could that be?

Must be a coincidence!

At a young age, Loki has already learned to say one thing but mean another.

They said it was a coincidence, but they couldn't help feeling happy inside.

"Loki, you get some rest. I won't bother you anymore."

Harald patted his son on the shoulder one last time, then tiptoed away.

Before long, Harald arrived at the castle banquet hall.

"Lox, I've heard about everything you've done. So, what brings you here this time?" Harald's voice preceded his arrival.

"Hahaha, Harald, I've finally met you!"

Rocks laughed heartily.

"Become my partner, Harald. The World Government will not agree to your demands. You should have known that eight years ago."

……

Chapter 118 The D Clan! The Ice Squirrel! Nidhogg!

"Become my partner, Harald!" Rocks opened his arms and extended an invitation to the Giant King.

"Stop your nonsense! Joining forces with your bunch of scoundrels will make me lose the trust of other countries!" Harald snapped.

"What kind of talk is this? Are you willing to be dominated by the World Government?" Rocks asked.

“No, that’s not true. I’m figuring out how to move forward! Everyone should be equal!” Harald said.

"Hahaha, all men are created equal!" Rocks laughed again.

"My first mate once said something similar, but he quickly adapted to the rules of this world and understood that people are born unequal, and that only strength matters, Harald! Elbaf is the nation of the strongest warriors, so just kill any guy who doesn't obey you!"

“That’s all in the past! Elbaf will change!” Harald remained unmoved.

“Human nature doesn’t change; the warlike nature is definitely lurking within you,” Lockes said.

"Can you two be a little quieter? You're drooling all over the food," Newgate complained.

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Lockes, Harald immediately turned to the others and said, "If you follow this man, the only thing that will happen to you is destruction!"

"We're following this idiot? Hahaha, don't make us laugh. We're all independent. Even if Rocks dies, it won't affect us at all... Oops, I accidentally blurted out what I was thinking."

Shiki slapped his mouth and said, "Hehehe, I was just joking!"

“To be honest, following Locke is indeed a very 'lucrative' career path!” Miss Bakkin said.

“Just a few days ago, even the government humbled itself and begged for cooperation, offering us a large sum of money to clean up Beehive Island,” Gan said.

"Why not take the government's money? Before we collect it, we'll occupy the island. We'll split the treasure equally, and neither the island nor the sea creatures will go to the government. I'll rule the hive, and I'll work with the guys on the island to create a world that belongs to the sea creatures!"

Rocks' smile widened. "I can already foresee those bastards in the government looking dumbfounded. Hahahaha, this is the prologue to my life. Using that island as a base, I will annihilate the navy, conquer the Holy Land, and ultimately, I will be the King of the World!!!"

“The enemy is too great; it’s the world!” Harald shook his head, showing no optimism about Lox’s ambitions.

“Say what you will, someone has to do this,” Rocks said. “There is no such thing as eternal power. Come, Harald, become my partner. With your strength, we will be invincible!”

"Go find someone else to be invincible. I am the king, don't get involved!" Harald said irritably.

"What's wrong with the king? Join me in conquering the world!" Rocks earnestly invited.

“Give up. I won’t drag the whole of Elbaf into the abyss because of you.” Harald shook his head. “In the past, Elbaf was rejected by the world for various reasons, but…”

"I will make Elbaf an integral part of the world, even if it costs me my life. I will make Elbaf a member state of the World Government. Then, we will be enemies, Rocks."

"The one who should really be abandoned is you, the naive Giant King! If Elbaf wants to integrate into the world, there is only one path to take!"

Swish!

Luo Chuan teleported into the banquet hall.

"Thor!"

Harald's pupils constricted slightly. He was naturally familiar with the most unruly troublemaker in the Rocks Group.

“Very well, my first mate, you’ve come at the perfect time. I can’t persuade this stubborn fellow. You’re a scholar, quick-witted, you do the talking.” Lockes was overjoyed.

“Thor Luochuan, Rocks said you said the same thing as me, which means you used to believe that all people are born equal and that we are the same kind of people,” Harald said earnestly.

"Forget it, I'm not like you." Luo Chuan waved his hand.

In Chapter Nine, Luo Chuan's statement that all men are created equal was merely a polite formality, completely contrary to Harald's unwavering belief.

"You just said that the only way for Elbaf to integrate into the world is?"

Harald also wanted to hear the opinion of the vice-captain of the Lockers, the man with a bounty of 40 billion.
