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

Of course, Luo Chuan never took advantage of his status as a patient to do nothing.

Now that the clothes have been taken care of by the crane, Luo Chuan will be in charge of preparing the family's daily meals.

Compared to the cuisines of China in my previous life, the cuisines of my country in the West are still too limited.

On her first day cooking, Luo Chuan received unanimous praise from the two children.

Falcon even said that "Uncle Luo's cooking is a hundred times better than Mom's", and that night he was rewarded by Crane with a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork, thus having a complete childhood.

Before they knew it, a month had passed since Luochuan and He started living together.

It was another sunny afternoon.

Luo Chuan, wearing a straw hat, brought his two children to the lakeside in the mountains to fish.

Two hours later, Luo Chuan's bucket was still empty.

"Uncle Luo~ Uncle Luo~, why aren't the fish biting your hook?" Falcon blinked his big eyes and asked curiously.

"Falcon, I'm going to teach you a lesson today. Do you know what's most important in fishing?" Luo Chuan said earnestly.

“I know, Grandpa said that you have to prepare a fishing spot when you fish. If you don’t prepare a spot, you won’t catch many fish,” Falcon raised his hand and said.

“Wrong.” Lan shook her head.

"Where did I go wrong?" Falcon scratched his head.

"Whether you catch any fish or not is not important; what matters is this state of mind." Lan solemnly relayed the words Luo Chuan had once used to deceive him.

“Ah, I’ve heard that before.” Falcon clapped his hands in realization. “The old men who used to fish with Grandpa would say something similar once they joined the Air Force.”

Luo Chuan: "..."

This is a day I can't talk to at all.

"Uncle Luo, look, look! There are fish blowing bubbles at your feet!" Falcon said.

Luo Chuan looked at the young woman crane not far away with a smile.

"Miss He, take the children to the woods to pick some mushrooms; we'll make soup for them tonight!"

"it is good!"

The young woman nodded and beckoned the two little ones to leave.

After confirming that the one adult and two children were far away, Luo Chuan's smile froze, and he glared fiercely at the fish blowing bubbles by the lake.

"I'll make you blow bubbles!"

Luo Chuan took two gold lure rods from his pocket and plunged them into the lake.

Chi Chi Chi!

Two rods for lure fishing, and the catch piled up like a mountain.

In an instant, a large number of salted fish turned belly up.

Luo Chuan nodded in satisfaction, feeling completely enlightened.

All the leftovers were stored in his pocket, and Luo Chuan picked out two large ones.

"I told you not to bite the hook! I told you not to bite the hook!"

clap clap clap!

Without saying a word, Luo Chuan slapped the two unconscious fish several times, waking them up, and put one of them into the bucket.

The other one was to hang it on a fishing hook and throw it back into the lake, thinking that when the little ones came back, he could show off his skills and see who dared to call themselves an air force veteran.

However, Luo Chuan waited for a long time but the young woman He returned with her two children.

The big bluefish that he threw into the lake to try and catch were stunned by his electric shocks several times.

Luo Chuan pondered whether to use his radar Observation Haki to search for it, but he was also worried about being discovered by the crane.

Just as he was hesitating, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the woods.

"Luo!"

The young crane rushed out of the woods, her delicate face filled with panic and unease.

"What's wrong?" Luo Chuan asked hurriedly.

“The children…the children are gone,” the young woman cried.

"What?!" Luo Chuan's composure vanished.

"It's all my fault. I didn't keep a close eye on them. I should have stayed with them every step of the way." The young woman covered her face with her hands and sobbed uncontrollably.

“No, this isn’t the time to talk about this.” Luo Chuan stepped forward and embraced the weeping young woman. “Don’t worry, the children will be alright, I promise…”

Before Luo Chuan could display his masculinity in front of the 'fragile young woman'.

The next second, a soft clang was heard, like metal clashing.

At some point, the frail young crane transformed into the icy, aloof major general crane.

A dagger appeared in her hand, its sharp edge pressed against Luo Chuan's chest, unable to advance an inch.

"Miss He, what's going on..." Luo Chuan was a little confused.

My mind just can't process it right now, or rather, I don't want to.

"Now that things have come to this, are you still going to pretend, Thor Luo Chuan!"

Major General He sneered and casually tossed away the dagger in his hand; it was originally just a test tool.

"Miss He, what do you mean by this? I don't understand." Luo Chuan shrugged.

"Enough! In your eyes, am I just a fool, a fool who's been completely fooled by you?" Major General He said angrily.

"I never thought of it that way." Luo Chuan shook his head, knowing that he had been completely exposed.

So he stopped pretending and revealed his true self, "Miss Tsuru, how did you find out?"

"It's the taste!"

"smell?"

“Even if you can disguise your appearance, the essence of your being will never change,” Major General He said.

Luo Chuan scratched his head and said, "It's been so long, I didn't expect Miss He to still remember my taste. Miss He, you wouldn't happen to like me, would you?"

"Stop joking!"

A blush flashed across Major General He's fair face, but quickly disappeared.

"Ah~"

Luo Chuan sighed and sat down in the chair.

“Miss Tsuru, don’t you think this kind of life is wonderful? Since you’ll be returning to the Navy soon anyway, why not turn a blind eye and leave the two children with beautiful memories?”

"Are you, a scoundrel like you, satisfied with the status quo? You'll expose your true nature sooner or later. Rather than waiting until that day comes, I'd rather expose you proactively," Major General He said.

Luo Chuan thought about it and found it undeniable that desires, or more precisely, human desires, cannot be satisfied.

"Don't stand there, sit down, let's have a good talk," Luo Chuan said.

"What's there for us to talk about?" Major General He said firmly.

“Falcon is also my son!” Luo Chuan said.

"No!" Major General Tsuru denied without hesitation. "What makes you say he's your son? Hayabusa's father was a hero who sacrificed himself for justice, not a villain like you!"

"Have you started to believe your own lies after telling so many?" Looking at Major General He's confident and unwavering demeanor, Luo Chuan almost believed him.

“Anyway, Falcon isn’t your son. I already cleaned up what you left inside me that day with the Wash-Wash Fruit power,” Major General Tsuru said, adding at the end, “Your son is Arashi. He’s the child you had with another woman.”

"Other women?" Luo Chuan looked at Major General He. "So, Miss He, are you jealous?"

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Jealous? How could I be jealous..."

Just as Major General He was experiencing emotional turmoil, Luo Chuan appeared in a flash, lunged forward, and pressed his right index finger against He's temple.

"Facts speak louder than words; rather than continuing to argue, let the facts do the talking."

Paramecia-type Memory Fruit, activated!

Luo Chuan extracted He's memories before and after her pregnancy.

Major General He's face turned pale; faced with the truth, she could no longer deny it.

“Although it was just an accident, but…” Luo Chuan hugged Major General He from behind, “I still want to thank you for being willing to give birth to our child!”

"Enough! Enough! Stop talking!" At this moment, Major General He's tightly wound nerves snapped.

……

Chapter 131 Crane Wants to Give Birth to a Daughter for Luo Chuan?!

"Thank you for being willing to give birth to our child!"

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, Luo Chuan held Major General He in his arms and whispered in her ear.

What should have been a heartwarming and beautiful scene turned out to be a nightmare for the crane.

"That's enough! That's enough! Stop talking!"

The string that had been taut in her heart for nearly four years finally snapped.

"What do you want from me? What do you want from me to let me go?"

“I never intended to do anything to you. In fact, in recent years, out of respect for you, I have rarely taken action against the Navy,” Luo Chuan said.

“Then leave! Leave now! Get out of here! Disappear from my and Falcon’s lives and never come back!” Tsuru practically roared.

Another long period of silence followed.

"I didn't expect you to be such a selfish woman, Miss Tsuru." Luo Chuan shook her head. "Falcon is also my child. By what right do you deprive me of the right to be with him?"

"On what grounds? It's because you're a villain of the sea. A guy like you staying by Falcon's side will only bring harm, not benefit. His life doesn't need a villainous father like you!" Tsuru said decisively.

"What is good? What is evil? What is justice? What is wickedness?" Luo Chuan asked rhetorically. "In the eyes of your navy and government, I am great evil, but in the eyes of some people, I am great good... Crane, your world is too narrow."

“You’re right. I’m just a person, and the world as a person is inherently narrow. I only believe what my eyes see. You have no right to appear in front of that child right now,” Crane said firmly.

“If Thor Luo Chuan isn’t qualified, then what about Luo? I can take a step back and rebuild a family with you as Luo, giving Falcon a complete family,” Luo Chuan said.

"Don't even dream about it! I will never marry you, no matter if you are Luo Chuan or Luo!" He replied without hesitation.

"So there's nothing to discuss then?" Luo Chuan sighed. "In that case, let's let strength decide."

"What...what do you want to do?" Crane's face suddenly turned pale, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

“I am Hai Ni. If you won’t give me what I want, I’ll have to take it by force. If you’re so capable, try stopping me,” Luo Chuan said.

Major General He's face showed increasing panic; he had lost his composure and was completely devoid of his usual calm and wisdom.

Because he knew that Luo Chuan was truly capable of doing such a thing.

If he were to plunder by force, there is absolutely no way one could stop him on their own.

At that moment... thinking of his son being forcibly taken away by Luo Chuan and never being able to see him again, He's eyes immediately turned red, and he was about to go crazy.

“Falcon is my child, and I will never allow anyone to take him away,” Tsuru said, emphasizing each word and gritting her teeth.

The next second, before Luo Chuan could speak again, Major General He's attitude suddenly softened, and his expression gradually became pitiful.

"You already have Arashi, why are you still trying to take Hayabusa from me? Can't you just leave Hayabusa to me?"

Hearing He speak in a pleading voice for the first time, Luo Chuan couldn't help but soften and let go of her.

"Sigh~" He sighed, preparing to negotiate again.

The next moment, the crane's expression changed again, returning to its previous coldness and ruthlessness, and it said, "If you dare to steal the falcon, you will never see Lan again. I will send him to the person in the world who most wants to find him."

"What did you say?!"

He's words crossed Luo Chuan's line, and he grabbed He by the neck with his large hand.

The people in this world who most want to find Arashi, besides Rakukawa, are the World Government.

As a father, he would never allow anyone to threaten him with his son.

"Heh, you're scared? So you can be scared after all?"
