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

"Ice Dragon? Isn't it Thunder Dragon?" Many naval commanders raised the same question.

“If it’s not Thunder Dragon, then the invaders this time are probably not Thunder God from the Rocks Legion!” a lieutenant general said.

“No, that’s not accurate. We all know now that the man from the Rocks Legion is a monster who exists outside the rules, and this freezing power may be his new ability,” said Admiral Kong.

“Mr. Kong is right. For the past two years, the Rocks Group has been hunting down the remnants of the Angels. As far as I know, there are ice users among the remnants of the Angels. Perhaps that man has already succeeded in hunting them down and plundered their ice power!” A lieutenant general who has been traveling in the New World for many years said his thoughts.

"In short, let's prepare in advance, and set off immediately if the Holy Land requests our assistance," the Navy Admiral said.

The incident occurred in Pangu Town, which holds the government's biggest secret and should not be touched lightly.

blah blah blah!

The sound of hurried footsteps approached.

"Marshal, just now, news came from the Holy Land that the crisis has been resolved and no further reinforcements are needed," the King of the Meeting reported the latest developments.

"Is it deactivated? Did the intruders get arrested, or...?"

"The specific situation is unknown, but Pangu City is currently under lockdown!" Wang, the contemporary meeting leader, shook his head.

Upon hearing this, the Navy's 101 Commander, however curious, had no choice but to adjourn the meeting and leave.

Time quickly passed and evening arrived at the office of Sennheiser K.

"Little Crane, there's news."

Zhan Guo pushed open the door and entered, his face showing utter astonishment.

"As expected, Mr. Kong and the others were right. The guy who invaded the Holy Land today was indeed Thor from the Rocks Legion, possessing new freezing power."

Major General He pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "And him... was he arrested?"

"No, he probably wasn't caught!" Sengoku shook his head. "Although there's no definite news, some people heard the Five Elders of the Power Room roaring in anger, so it's highly likely that he escaped again!"

"Phew~" Major General He, 28 years old, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

A moment later, her expression froze. "Why should I worry about that guy...?"

"What?" Sengoku was taken aback, not quite hearing it.

"It's nothing," Major General He shook his head.

"By the way, Xiaohe, you'll be able to take a vacation soon, right? Or are you planning to go back to your hometown?" Sengoku asked.

"Yes!" Major General He nodded.

“I just happened to be going that way, so I thought I’d drop by and see your little guy. I wonder if he still remembers his Uncle Zhan Guo,” Zhan Guo said with a smile.

"Idiot, when you went to see him last time, he wasn't even a month old yet, how could you possibly remember?" Major General He laughed and scolded.

When she talked about her son, her icy face instantly melted like snow.

"By the way, Tsuru, about the little guy's father..."

The words of the Warring States period had barely left his mouth when he was interrupted by a sharp look from Major General He.

"I told you long ago, he's dead!"

"Sorry." Sengoku quickly apologized and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, Garp's kid is already seven years old, right? In two more years, he can be sent to the Navy for training, and then yours..."

Rear Admiral Tsuru did not respond; she did not intend to let her son join the Navy.

If she could, she would only want her son to grow up healthy like any other child, get married, have children, and live a peaceful life, never to be involved in the conflicts of the sea.

In this way, he would never know his true identity and would not have to suffer because he inherited that man's bloodline.

……

……

One week after the Holy Land invasion.

City of Water.

At this moment, Luo Chuan is enjoying a leisurely vacation in the water city with Shu Li.

Of course, to avoid suspicion, he used the Imitation Fruit's ability to slightly alter their appearances.

If news of Thor Luo Chuan's appearance in Water City were to spread, the entire island would be shaken.

Furthermore, the next day, a large number of warships will surround Water 7.

Now that Shuli has been taken out of the Holy Land, Luo Chuan will not allow her to have any further contact with the government.

After a week of relaxation, the two spent their days swimming together in the water city, and their evenings were spent 'battling' at the most luxurious five-star hotel in the city.

Shuli's suppressed emotions were greatly relieved, and in the evening, she was even more proactive than Luo Chuan, taking the lead in many novel plays.

Another sleepless night.

"Lord Luochuan, I'm so happy right now~"

Shuli nestled against Luo Chuan's chest, her pretty face radiating happiness, as if she had returned to those days in Esperia.

"My only wish right now is..."

“I know, Brook, I will take you to him.” Luo Chuan gently stroked Princess Shuli’s blue hair.

Before leaving Water City, Luo Chuan led Junzi to Tom's Studio under the bridge.

"Welcome, light..."

"Hey, Tom, long time no see!"

Having regained his true form, Luo Chuan led Shu Li into Tom's studio.

"Mr. Luo Chuan!" Tom, the chief engineer of the fish-man ship, stared in surprise. "Why are you here... Is there a problem with the ship?"

"No," Luo Chuan shook his head, "I just happened to be passing by."

It's a rare opportunity to return to Water City, so naturally I had to greet my old friends and catch up.

Tom was very happy about Luo Chuan's arrival and treated him with the utmost hospitality.

Half a day later, Luo Chuan bid farewell to Tom and took Princess Shuli to the Devil's Sea.

Do not!

Right now, this is just an ordinary foggy sea area.

What truly cemented this sea's reputation as a devil was the actions of Harald, the future Giant King.

"Brook...is he really in this area?" Shuli asked nervously.

"Yes, it is! But it may take a while to find it!" Luo Chuan said.

This area, shrouded in thick fog, was a scene of bustling activity and tranquility.

Without a professional navigator, once caught in the turbulent currents, one would be stuck here forever, endlessly spinning in the thick fog.

Brooke was trapped in this fog for nearly fifty years precisely because he lacked navigator experience.

Time flies, and another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

This week, Luo Chuan used his radar and Observation Haki to search every corner of this sea area, but still couldn't find the target.

Luo Chuan guessed that perhaps it was the will of Heaven that caused them to miss each other.

It doesn’t matter.

Luochuan has plenty of patience and time.

On the ninth night after arriving at the Devil's Sea.

As usual, Luo Chuan randomly found an empty ghost ship, picked up Shu Li, and prepared to start eating.

Just then, a cheerful violin tune reached their ears.

The piece being played was one that Luo Chuan was very familiar with: "The Fine Wine of Haijuchen"!

After a melodious violin solo, it was as if a switch had been turned on, and a chorus of many people began to sing.

However, the chorus soon grew softer and softer, and eventually it became a solo performance.

"Lord Luochuan!!!"

Princess Shuli's beautiful heterochromatic eyes immediately reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Looks like we've found it!" Luo Chuan smiled slightly.

“Yes!” Shuli nodded heavily.

Before this, she had been feeling uneasy because she hadn't seen Brook.

Now, hearing that familiar violin playing, she finally believed it.

Brooks is really alive!!!

Swish!

Luo Chuan, with his troops, teleported to the dilapidated ghost ship they had just passed by.

Brook, now dead and nothing but bones, finished his solo performance and was putting his violin back into its case.

Brook, with his back turned, didn't notice the two people behind him until Princess Shuri took a step.

"Brook, is that you?" Princess Shuri's voice trembled.

The moment the question was uttered, she already had the answer in her heart.

Even without seeing its face, its distinctive afro hairstyle is enough to identify it.

"Huh?" Brook, who was dead and only a skeleton remained, was completely stunned.

In the dead of night, on this deserted ghost ship, Brookton suddenly heard someone calling his name. He panicked, cold sweat soaking his back, even though he no longer had a back.

"What was bound to happen has finally happened, but I'm not worried at all. The book says, 'Don't look back.' As long as you don't look back, you won't be bewitched by the siren!"

Brook muttered to himself, mistaking the female voice behind him for a siren from an unknown sea who would be choked and dragged away if he turned around.

“Brook, it’s only natural that you hate me and don’t want to see me. It’s all my fault.”

Large tears streamed down Shuli's pretty face, splashing onto the deck.

"That cunning siren is even trying to play the emotional card. Too bad, I've never hated anyone. She's too naive to try and fool me."

As Brooke thought this, he couldn't help but let out a 'yohohoho' laugh.

"Speaking of which, I wonder what the legendary Siren's panties actually look like?"

Thinking of this, Brooke suddenly scratched his head, his curiosity reaching its peak.

Die or die!

Anyway, I've already died once!

In the end, Brook couldn't resist the allure of the Siren's panties and turned around.

The next second, both Shuri and Brooke were stunned at the same time.

Shuli froze, because she saw that Brook had turned into bones.

As for Brooks, he was struck by that familiar face.

Deep in his mind, those painful memories he didn't want to recall kept surfacing.

For a long time.

"Brook, you...how did you become like this?"

Shuli was the first to come to her senses. She raised her hand, trembling, and tried to touch it.

"Don't come any closer!"

Brooks shouted excitedly, his body involuntarily staggering backward until he crashed into the cabin wall.

"Shuli! It's you, Shuli!"

“It’s me, Brooke. I’m so glad you still remember me!” Shuli sniffed.

“Remember? How could I forget you, you wicked girl who could so heartlessly kill even your own father!” Brooke’s voice was filled with endless pain and anger.

If he still had a face, his expression at this moment would surely be distorted.

Hearing Brooke's furious rebuke, Shuli's face turned deathly pale.

"Why are you here? Why won't you leave me alone? Why do you have to show up in front of me again? Why do you have to remind me of those things..."
