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

The clarion call of war has sounded.

The piercing sound of horns echoed throughout the entire Yang Realm.

Warrior Nishimura.

"Master Reading, what happened all of a sudden?" Young Halding asked curiously upon hearing the horn.

"War is coming!" the giant warrior Redin said solemnly.

"War?" Halding, Goltz, Goldbag, and the other half-giant children stared wide-eyed in shock.

This was the first time since they were born that they had experienced war up close.

"Master Redding, who is Elbaf going to war with?" asked Lori Goltz, a giant with long, light-gold hair tied in a ponytail.

"I don't know yet! Anyway, you all need to hurry home!" Redding urged, and then hurried off to assemble.

Nishimura, the residence of the bearded man.

"Lord Aruru"

The giant Tolman rudely pushed open the door and shouted anxiously.

"Tolman, what's going on with that horn sound?"

"Asked the eldest elder of Elbaf, Yaru the Bearded Mountainman."

“Just now, news came from Orsto Castle that the Haitong people have caused trouble!” Tolman’s forehead was covered with a fine layer of cold sweat.

"Haitong Group, what on earth did they do?!" Yaru the Bearded man's pupils contracted sharply.

Elbaf is different from Wano Country; it is not closed off from the world.

Therefore, Aruru had heard about some of the things that had happened on the high seas in recent years.

Especially after the Rocks Legion landed in Elbaf, their deeds overseas became well known to the Titans.

Without a doubt, the Rocks Pirates F was the most terrifying team of its time, on this vast ocean.

If they cause trouble, it will definitely not be a small matter.

“According to the castle guards, they…they broke into that room and stole the Elbaf treasure,” Tolman said.

"What did you say?!" Upon hearing this news, Bearded Yaru couldn't sit still any longer, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"Besides that, they also injured Prince Loki, and now..."

A corner of Nishimura.

"I just overheard the adults talking. It turns out that Thor from the Rocks Pirates stole something and even injured that jerk Loki," Halding said with feigned seriousness.

“How could that be? Lord Luochuan is such a gentle person, how could he be a thief? I don’t believe it!” The giant Lolita Gertz shook her head repeatedly.

“Goltz, stop daydreaming. Even if there was no theft, it’s impossible for a giant and a human to do that, even with your toes,” Rode retorted.

"Shut up!" Gertz slapped Rod away. "I will definitely become Lord Luochuan's bride someday~"

Ever since she got lost in the underworld while playing around a month ago and was rescued by Luo Chuan, the 27-year-old giant Lolita Gertz has been silently making up her mind.

“That’s not the point. Speaking of Halding, have the adults said what exactly that person stole? If it’s just treasure, that’s not a big deal,” Goldbagu asked.

Haildin shook his head and said, "I don't know, but judging from the adults' tone, it seems quite serious, not just as simple as treasure."

……

……

A storm is brewing, and the wind is howling.

The entire city of Elbaf was gripped by a tense atmosphere.

At this very moment.

Orsto Castle, banquet hall.

"Hey, what's going on with the giants today? They're even blowing horns!" Shiki said drunkenly, clutching a large bottle of liquor.

“I’ve heard that there’s a wrestling tradition in Elbaf!” Newgate said, lying on his back with Miss Bakkin nestled against his chest.

"Hahaha, that's interesting. I'd like to participate sometime!" Rocks laughed.

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

With a loud bang, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Squads of fully armed giant guards filed in, surrounding the five members of the Rocks Group at the dining table.

"Hey, giants, what are you doing all of a sudden? You've ruined my drinking mood!" Gan Sui slurred, complaining angrily.

"The newcomers don't seem to have good intentions!" The young, white-bearded Newgate sat up.

"Heh heh... Heh heh heh, what's wrong? Titans, if you want to fight, I'm all for it, but..." A hint of bloodthirsty killing intent flashed in Shiki's drunken eyes, "If you accidentally die, don't complain!"

"Shut up, Shiki!" Rocks kicked Shiki, who was about to go on a drunken rampage, to the ground, preventing him from clashing with the Titans.

Although Harald rejected him outright, he didn't give up on trying to win him over.

"Giants, what do you mean by this? Where is Harald?" Rocks asked patiently.

"You still have the nerve to ask what happened? Don't you know what you've done?" a giant guard scolded.

Boom!

Rocks glanced at him, and his Conqueror's Haki was released.

The giant guard who had spoken earlier was struck on the head as if by a heavy blow; his eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and he collapsed unconscious.

This terrifying scene horrified the giants, who unconsciously retreated.

"I'll ask you one last time, what exactly are you here for?" Lockes demanded sternly.

"It's your partner, Thor Luochuan, who stole our national treasure of Elbaf!" a giant said weakly.

“Not only that, he also beat Prince Loki, who is still unconscious!” another person said.

“We in Elbaf consider you honored guests, yet you took advantage of His Majesty the King’s absence…”

Hearing the giants' indignant words, Rocks was momentarily stunned.

"You're saying that Luo Chuan guy stole your treasure?" Newgate asked, his face full of disbelief.

“How could this be… How could the first mate, such a steady person, do such a thing?” Miss Bakkin was also full of surprise.

"Hahaha, I don't think it's a big deal. Of course, if the sea is full of good stuff, you have to get it for yourself!" Shiki laughed. "I wonder what treasure the first mate got. I'll definitely make sure he shares some with us later!"

"Everyone who sees it gets a share, I want one too!" Gan echoed.

"The captain gripped his long spear tightly."

"Hehehe, Captain Rocks, things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight."

Golden Lion Shiki crossed his arms and drew the two large, sharp swords, Sakura and Moku, from his waist.

Young Newgate, the Whitebeard, also raised his hand to grab the naginata behind his back, preparing for a battle and a breakout.

"Stop it, all of you!"

Locks roared in a stern voice.

"Giants, we can't do anything. There might be a misunderstanding. I'll talk to Harald about it myself when he returns."

Upon hearing this, the giants exchanged glances, looking at the terrifying Rocks Legion, but ultimately did not dare to provoke a war.

"Alright, but from now on, until His Majesty the King returns, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

The captain of the guards then led his team out, closing and sealing off the entire banquet hall.

"Hey, Rocks, they're just some small fry giants, is it really necessary? Just crush them!" Shiki shouted in dissatisfaction.

“The giants are making such a big show of it; it seems that Luo Chuan has indeed caused quite a stir this time, and has crossed their bottom line.” Newgate frowned.

"Elbaf's treasure? What could it be?" Miss Bakkin asked curiously.

Just then, without a sound, a figure flashed back into the banquet hall.

"Hey, why do you all look so gloomy?" The sudden voice immediately drew the attention of the five people.

Rocks, Newgate, Shiki, Miss Baggins, and Gan Sui all turned around suddenly, and when they saw Luo Chuan acting as if nothing had happened, they were speechless.

"Hey, Luo Chuan, do you even know what's going on?" Newgate asked.

"Hehehe, First mate, what is this treasure of Elbaf? Show it to me quickly. Don't worry, I promise I won't lay a hand on it." Shiki rubbed his hands excitedly.

"You mean that one? It's already been eaten," Luo Chuan replied casually.

"You ate it?" Miss Bajin and Gan Sui were both taken aback.

The secret treasure passed down through generations in Elbaf... is it edible?

"Luo Chuan, did you really do it?" Lockes looked at Luo Chuan with a complicated expression.

"what?"

"Stealing the giant's treasure and injuring the giant imp..."

"I did it!" Luo Chuan calmly replied.

Locus: "..."

As a seaman, I'm not wrong, but this time...

Harald returned faster than expected.

That very evening, Harald returned to Elbaf.

Upon learning of the major events that had occurred in the country, Harald rushed to the castle immediately.

He first went to visit the unconscious Loki, and only after confirming that his son was not in mortal danger did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Next, Harald went to the treasure room, looked at the empty treasure chest, and fell into a long silence.

"Harald, let's talk!" Rocks relayed through the guard.

"Bring Rocks and Thor over here!" On the giant's throne, Harald rubbed his forehead with one hand, his face full of headache.

The Animal-type Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Beast Nidhogg Fruit, is a national treasure passed down through generations in Elbaf. Over the years, it has been lost in his generation, and this is an undeniable responsibility.

Soon, Rocks and Luo Chuan followed the guards to the royal palace.

“Lox, I won’t say anything more. Now, have your men hand over our treasure, and then you can leave Elbaf,” Harald said bluntly and directly.

"It's a pity we can't hand over the secret treasure, but we can still produce it," Luo Chuan said with a smile.

"What did you say?!" Harald's eyes widened. "You...you ate it? How is that possible...you're already an ability user...how could you still...could the rumors be true..."

Harald was stunned, and Lockes was stunned as well.

At this moment, he could probably guess that the stolen treasure in Elbaf was the Devil Fruit.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's Nidhogg!!!

In his mind, the fruit could only unleash its full power if Harald ate it.

however……

"So, Thor Luochuan, your trip to Elbaf is for that fruit!" Harald spoke in a low voice, his aura gradually becoming terrifying.

Luo Chuan nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Rocks snapped out of his daze.

“Wait, Harald, it’s too late to undo what’s done, but we can make amends,” Lockes quickly interjected, trying to smooth things over.

"Compensation? How are you going to compensate me?" Harald said angrily.

Boom!

The entire royal palace trembled under his breath.

"Want to fight? I'm ready to fight to the end!" Luo Chuan grinned.

Luo Chuan had long wanted to fight the Giant King, who was able to rival Rocks.

"Luo Chuan, that's enough!" Lockes shouted.

In the eight years they had been together, this was the first time Lockes had used such a strong tone, which left Luo Chuan momentarily stunned.

The next second, something even more shocking and unbelievable happened to Luo Chuan.
