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

His purpose in seeking out Roger Haijiao was to have someone to confide in, rather than to suffer alone.

Roger, Rayleigh, and Jaba were all stunned after hearing Luo Chuan's account.

“I didn’t expect that guy Rocks could go to such lengths,” Roger said with admiration. “It seems impossible to poach you from the Rocks Group.”

“Idiot, don’t even think about this kind of thing from the beginning!” Luo Chuan said.

"So what are you so angry about? Shouldn't you be happy to have such a good brother?" Jaba raised an eyebrow.

"Of course I'm very happy, but..."

"So are you feeling guilty, or are you showing off to us that you have a good brother?" Ridley asked.

"Sigh, I can't explain it either." Luo Chuan shook his head.

"Hahaha, if you can't figure it out, then don't think about it for now. Let's have a happy banquet together." Roger laughed.

Luo Chuan did not refuse, and after thirty rounds of drinks, he got quite drunk.

Feeling displeased, Luo Chuan began to deliberately 'stir up trouble', engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Roger, Rayleigh, Jaba, and others, collecting a considerable amount of their blood and hair.

After spending two days with Roger Hai, Luo Chuan left.

Shortly after Luo Chuan left, a ship pulled by a highly venomous sea serpent came into contact with Roger's ship.

They are Kuja Haile F, from Amazon Lily, the land of women that countless people yearn for.

"Roger, I've come to find you!"

Captain Gloria Osa of the newly promoted Nine Serpents Pirates F winked at Roger at the bow of the Oro Jackson.

"It's you again, Gloria Osa!" Roger grinned, somewhat impatiently.

"What? Are you so happy you've lost your bearings because a woman as beautiful as me has captured your heart?" Gloria Osa struck a seductive pose.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh"

Just then, a commotion erupted on the deck of the Oro Jackson.

"Look over there! What an absolutely stunning beauty!"

"Who is that? So beautiful, I can't take it anymore..."

"Simply breathtakingly beautiful!"

"The most beautiful woman in the world!"

Jaba and the others stared intently at the stunningly beautiful girl on the Nine Serpents, who was resting her chin on her hand and exuding a slightly melancholic air.

Roger also noticed the melancholy beauty, and his eyes lit up. He asked, "Gloria Osa, who is that?"

“You mean Shakky? Give up. She already has someone she loves,” Gloria said.

"So what? I'm Hai Ni! If I want something, I'll take it!" Roger rolled up his sleeves, eager to try.

Three minutes later, almost all of Roger's main force members, except for Rayleigh, fell at Shakky's feet.

The Nine Serpents warriors moved through the enemy lines as if they were in an empty house, carrying supplies from the Yipa-Jie Group's ship.

Just then, Xia Qi glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a black cloak hanging on the ship's railing.

The back of the cloak had a large character '川' written on it.

Shakky activated the auto-pickup function, silently took the black cloak, and returned to the Nine Serpents Ship.

The moment the door closed, a lovestruck smile appeared on Xia Qi's face. She buried her pretty face in her cloak and took a deep breath.

"This is the taste of Lord Luochuan~" Xia Qi said with a look of utter delight.

……

……

At this very moment.

Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

The boudoir of the God's Blade Soldier.

"Shuli, you did a great job!"

Thanks to Junzi's efforts, Luo Chuan's anger subsided considerably.

"Stop...stop nagging, it's not over yet. This time you can't get rid of me and cause trouble..." Junzi said stubbornly.

After a four-year hiatus, Junzi finally got to meet Luochuan again and was determined to make up for the lost four years.

One day later.

"Shuli!"

Luo Chuan gently stroked the girl's hair.

"It's time for you to wake up!"

Junzi was taken aback and was about to ask a question.

The next second, Luo Chuan's large hand landed on his forehead.

Paramecia-type Memory Fruit, activated!!!

Those memories of Princess Shuri's past that Im had hidden now surged forth like a tide.

Tears instantly blurred Junzi's eyes.

“I’m not a soldier… I’m Shuli, Ruben’s daughter…”

……

Chapter 121 Even if I wanted to die, I couldn't! Junzi angrily slashed Im with his sword!

Manmaia Junzi.

Her original name was Shuli, and she was a princess of the Kingdom of Espelia in the Western Sea.

Her father was King Ruwen of Esperia, and her mother, Candel, was the commander of the country's Guard Corps.

However, what even Ruwen didn't know was that Candel had another hidden identity: a member of the World Nobles.

Princess Shuri, who inherited the Manmaia bloodline from her mother Kandel, awakened her dual-eyes at birth and possesses the special power of heterochromia.

And this was the beginning of all the suffering that the Kingdom of Esperia endured!

King Im of the World took a liking to Princess Shuri, who was born with the ability to awaken dual eyes. For this reason, he not only sent Glad Saint, the knight of the Manmaia family, but also Marcus Maus, one of the Five Elders of Mars, to the mortal realm.

On the day the Kingdom of Esperia was destroyed, the World King Im possessed the Five Elders of Mars and cast a dark spell on Princess Shuri and King Ruven, turning the two into demons who then killed each other.

In the end, Princess Shuri killed her father, Ruwen, a scene witnessed by Brook, who was then the captain of the National Guard.

Princess Shuri, completely dominated by the Dark Transformation, even had her thoughts and perceptions altered, and she pierced the skull of Brook, who was both her mentor and friend, with a sword.

Following this incident, the Kingdom of Esperia was destroyed by the World Government, leaving behind only ruins.

Princess Shuri was taken back to the holy land of Marijaya, renamed Mamaya, and became Im's personal maid.

After years of ideological reform, Princess Shuri completely forgot her past and became a member of the Celestial Dragons, becoming arrogant and lawless.

Until she met Luo Chuan, the wheel of her tragic life began to turn once again.

Altered memories?

Falsified cognition?

The methods of the World King Im are indeed ingenious, but they are not without solutions.

The human brain and human emotions are the most uncontrollable things in the world.

Im can alter things for a time, but not forever.

In the later Elbaf incident, after Junzi encountered his former mentor, Brook, those sealed memories were restored, indicating that Im's methods were not perfect.

Those lost memories were not erased; they still exist in Junzi's brain hard drive.

Luo Chuan is not Brook, and has no connection with Junzi's childhood. He cannot awaken Junzi through the past, but he has his own unique methods.

Paramecia-type memory fruit!!!

This is an ability that was acquired after defeating the angel generals.

In terms of memory manipulation, Im's methods are mere child's play compared to the Memory Fruit.

Just like now, when Luo Chuan activated the Memory Fruit ability on Jun Zi, those altered and lost past events suddenly surged forth like a tide.

Junzi remembered!

I remember everything now!

Tears blurred her vision and then silently slid down, dripping onto Luo Chuan's chest.

Her slender body trembled uncontrollably under the immense emotional shock.

If you want to cry, then cry.

Luo Chuan embraced the weeping girl and gently comforted her.

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Wow~"

Junzi could no longer control his emotions, and hot tears welled up like a burst dam.

“I remember now… I remember everything… I’m not a soldier from Manmaia, I’m Shuli, Princess Shuli of the Kingdom of Esperia…”

“No, I am not worthy to be the princess of Esperia... I... what have I done... I killed my own father with my own hands..."

“And Brook… my mentor… the person I admired was also… a woman as sinful as me doesn’t deserve to live in this world…”

……

“Those painful past experiences weren’t your fault; you were just being used,” Luo Chuan comforted her.

“No…it’s all my fault, all those are the sins I committed.” Princess Shuri wept uncontrollably. “And all these years, in the Holy Land as a Celestial Dragon…my hands are stained with blood…”

Junzi looked at his fair hands, his heterochromatic eyes trembling uncontrollably, as if he could see the blood of the wronged souls who died under those hands dripping down.

"what!!!"

Under the intense emotional turmoil, Princess Shuri screamed and fell into a coma.

When Shuli woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.

"Thank you, Lord Luo Chuan. You helped me find myself again." Shu Li's turbulent emotions seemed to have calmed down.

She wrapped her arms around Luo Chuan's neck and kissed his lips, her slender waist swaying like a willow leaf in the wind.

Two hours later.

Shuli got dressed and went out the door.

"What do you want to do?" Luo Chuan asked.

"I'll do what I have to do!" Shuli said without turning her head.

Luo Chuan did not stop him. Some things, if left unsaid and kept inside, can drive a person crazy.

As soon as Shuli stepped out of the courtyard, she encountered Grau, the knight of the gods of the Manmaia family.

"Junzi, where have you been these past two days?"

Grau's inquiry was met with a barrage of arrows imbued with Armament Haki.

"You deserve to die too!" Shuli's heterochromatic eyes flashed with rage.

"Soldier, do you know what you're doing?" God Knight Graw shouted in alarm and anger.

The moment he finished speaking, his figure suddenly transformed into elemental form, closing in on Junzi.

"Don't think you can act recklessly just because Lord Im values ​​you. I think your brain is broken and needs fixing!"

The knight of God, Graw, let out a grotesque laugh, showing no mercy even to his own kind.

Just as the knight of God, Grau, was about to strike, a huge foot suddenly appeared out of nowhere, slamming Grau to the ground and creating a large crater.

"Do whatever you want, I'll take care of everything," Luo Chuan said calmly.

"Thank you, Lord Luo Chuan!" Shu Li bowed to Luo Chuan, then walked towards Pangu City without looking back.
