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

Page 119

“As the King of Giants, you should know about the Codex of Halley,” Luo Chuan said.

"The Halle Codex?"

"What the hell!"

"I don't know, but it sounds really impressive!"

Rocks, Newgate, Shiki, and the others looked at each other.

Harald looked serious and said, "Of course I know about the Codex of Halley; it's an ancient legend of our giant race. How do you know about it?"

“I just went up there and saw the mural,” Luo Chuan said.

"Can you understand the content of the murals?" Harald asked in surprise.

“My first mate is a scholar from Ohara; he can even read historical texts,” Rocks said proudly.

"It's not like you can decipher it, so what are you so proud of?" Newgate retorted.

Ignoring the two who were trying to interrupt, Harald looked at Luo Chuan seriously and said, "Everyone has a different understanding of the Codex Halley. I'd like to know what you've read?"

"The end of the world." Luo Chuan said, emphasizing each word.

Instantly, the huge banquet hall fell silent.

Shiki and Gan Sui, who had been busy cooking, were now also listening intently.

Harald waved his hand, dismissing the giant guards in the hall.

"The Codex of Halley records three worlds, or rather, three phases of the world. The first world is too far away from us, so let's not talk about it for now. The second world phase is the nine hundred years from the Void Century to the present, which is the period when the World Government reigned over the sea."

At this point, Luo Chuan changed the subject, saying, "Giant King, do you know about the D clan?"

"D!"

Newgate, Shiki, and the others were all startled and subconsciously looked at Rocks.

“I’ve heard of them to some extent; legend has it that they are the natural enemies of the gods,” Harald said.

"Through the research of generations of scholars in Ohara, it has been discovered that in the distant past, during the Void Century, there once existed a vast kingdom, which we will call the Kingdom of D. Eight hundred years ago, the Twenty Kings Alliance, the predecessor of the World Government, overthrew that kingdom and has ruled the world ever since."

“I see. That’s why D is the nemesis of God, because this God refers to the Celestial Dragons, the noble race of the world.” Miss Bagin nodded in understanding.

"What does D's hostility towards the government have to do with us in Elbaf?" Harald was confused.

We were just talking about the Halley's Codex, how did it suddenly veer off to D?

“Because you Elbaf and D are the same!” Luo Chuan said quietly.

“Same? How could that be? We don’t have a D!” Harald shook his head.

"Although you don't have a D, in that distant past, you were also the government's mortal enemies, irreconcilable enemies. To the World Government, Elbaf is equivalent to D!!!" Luo Chuan said firmly.

"it is good!"

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted.

Well said.

Rocks clapped his hands repeatedly.

"Now, Harald, you should understand, right? You are the king of Elbaf, and I am the king of D. We were born to be together."

"Wait, wait, let me sort this out first..."

Harald clutched his head, feeling utterly bewildered, unable to comprehend how Elbaf had inexplicably ended up on D's ship.

“No, I think we should start by getting back to the basics. The only way for Elbaf to integrate into the world sphere, in my opinion, is to join the World Government,” Harald proposed.

“It seems you still don’t understand. Elbaf and the World Government can never be on the same side. If you insist on doing so, it will only lead to a tragic end. Your relationship with the government is only one path: enslavement and being enslaved,” Luo Chuan said.

"Then what path are you talking about?" Harald countered.

“It’s simple. With the World Government around, Elbaf can never integrate into the world. So let’s solve the problem at its root. Join us in overthrowing the World Government, and you can do whatever you want as a hero of the new world,” Luo Chuan said.

“That’s it, Harald. My first mate is a scholar, a cultured man, a PhD. He’s absolutely right.” Lockes pressed his advantage.

“The World Government is destined to be overthrown. This is a prophecy of the Third World recorded in the Halle Codex. And now you’re rushing to join it in 49…” Luo Chuan said.

"Wait a minute, give me some time, I need to think about this carefully."

Harald left the castle and headed to the village of Warriors West, intending to speak with the eldest elder of the giants.

Before leaving, he instructed the castle guards to treat Lox and his men well.

And so, Luo Chuan and his party stayed temporarily at Orsto Castle.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Harald still hadn't returned.

Only after asking did I learn that he had received a request for help from a neighboring country and had gone to provide assistance.

Rocks wasn't in a hurry; in his plan, Harald and Elbaf were crucial parts of his conquest of the world.

If Harald eats the legendary fruit, they will truly be invincible.

However, Harald had not yet agreed, but another little guy had become entangled with Lox from then on.

From that day on, after overhearing his father's conversation with Rocks and hearing about Rocks's great ambition to conquer the world, Loki's blank and empty heart was filled.

He realized that this was exactly what he wanted to do, and that Rocks was the person he had been waiting for.

"Rocks, please, my dad doesn't want to join, so let me join you in his place. I'll definitely become stronger in the future." Loki had been following Rocks around for over a month, like a little tail.

"Go away, you brat from the Harald family! Go play in the mud. My ship doesn't need a brat like you." Rocks shooed him away impatiently, kicking Loki and sending him tumbling over.

Loki dusted himself off, unperturbed, and continued to follow along, tumbling along.

Finally, Lox, unable to bear the harassment any longer, came up with a terrible idea.

“Kid, listen to me. If you want to join, you’ll first have to get past my first mate. Once he agrees, then come find me.” Lockes was directly trying to shift the blame.

And so, Loki's little tail shifted and came to Luo Chuan's back.

With Prince Loki diligently attending to his every need, Luo Chuan traveled almost unimpeded throughout Elbaf.

Even if a dog on the street tries to stop him, Loki will kick it twice.

"Mr. Thor, I think I did alright. Can I join now?" Loki asked, rubbing his hands together.

"Not bad!"

Luo Chuan nodded.

"However, if you want to join, there is one last test."

"What test? Don't worry, I can do anything!" Loki patted his chest and assured him.

The deepest part of Orsto Castle.

"Prince Loki, this is the most important territory of the kingdom. Please stop here."

The two giant guards crossed their spears, blocking Loki.

At the same time, they also saw Luo Chuan next to Loki.

Even princes cannot enter at will, let alone outsiders.

"Get out of my way, you two! I'm a prince, I can go wherever I want!" Loki said domineeringly.

As he spoke, Loki arrogantly tried to charge forward, but ended up tripping and falling.

"Let me do it!" Luo Chuan flicked his fingers, and two bolts of lightning shot out.

"Enemy..." The giant guard collapsed unconscious on the spot.

"As expected of Mr. Thor, so handsome~" Loki followed along, strutting along.

After breaking through five layers of guards, Luo Chuan and Loki arrived at the deepest room in the castle.

An ancient treasure chest was placed on the high platform in front.

Inside was a secret treasure passed down through generations in Elbaf.

A divine-level fruit!!!

Animal-type Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Beast, Nidhogg Mode!!!

"They're coming!" Luo Chuan warned.

"What..." Loki was stunned, then suffered a heavy blow to his back, being hit squarely by the 'Iron Thunder' hammer that flew from the sky.

It is an international custom that rare treasures are always guarded by exotic beasts.

Ironhide, or rather, Hammer that absorbed the power of the Zoan-type Mythical Beast Ice Squirrel, is Nidhogg's Guardian Beast.

"Who attacked me?"

Loki scrambled to his feet, looking left and right, before finally locking his gaze on Ironhide.

"You are the final test, now give it to me!"

Loki was full of imposing presence, but then... he was struck by Ironhide and fled in terror.

"Yeah, yeah"

Luo Chuan shook his head and teleported away.

The combined punch of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Power-Power Fruit made Iron Squirrel's head buzz.

[Congratulations, host, on your victory over the Ice Squirrel! The Mythical Beast-type Squirrel Fruit, Ice Squirrel Form, has been successfully added to your inventory.]

Immediately afterwards, Luo Chuan walked up to the platform, opened the locked box, and took out the Demon Fruit inside.

Mythical Beast Nidhogg, acquired!

"Loki," Luo Chuan called out.

"What is it?" Loki, who was punching and kicking Ironhide, turned around in response.

The next second, he felt something fly past him and go straight to his throat.

Gudong~

Loki swallowed instinctively, and was immediately stunned.

"Mr. Luo Chuan, my body... feels a little off..."

As he watched himself gradually transform into a black dragon, Loki's eyes widened in shock.

However, in the next second, a loud bang was heard.

Luo Chuan kicked the little black dragon away, sending it crashing through more than a dozen walls.

[Congratulations, host, on defeating the Black Dragon Devil! Your Zoan-type Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Beast Type: Nidhogg Mode, has been successfully acquired.]

A new divine-level mythical beast, the Giant Fruit, is here!

As he listened to the editor's notification sounds, Luo Chuan's smile widened.

Just then, the sound of hurried and disordered footsteps came.

"A...a terrible thing has happened! Report it to the whole country immediately! The treasure...the treasure has been stolen!"

"Elbaf's secret treasure, passed down through generations, has been stolen! The culprit is Rochuan, the Thunder God of the Rocks Legion!"

"This man... he also injured Prince Loki, whose fate is currently unknown!"

……

The worst attack in Elbaf's history has occurred!

……

Chapter 119 Rocks Kneels!!!

Something terrible has happened!

The secret treasure passed down through generations in Elbaf has been stolen!
