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

Countless black iron balls formed a dense rain of shells, launching an indiscriminate, sweeping attack on the island.

"Don't think you're the only ones who can flip the table," Luo Chuan said quietly.

……

Chapter 35 World-Destroying Thunder

Bang bang bang bang bang...!

Twenty naval warships, with hundreds of gun emplacements, fired simultaneously.

The shells rained down, dense and overwhelming, blotting out the sky and leaving the island riddled with holes.

The sea rolls up a thousand waves, the ocean rises and falls, and even if it doesn't overturn, it will be blown to pieces sooner or later.

"Hahaha, the Naval Buster Call? This lineup is truly terrifying!" Shiki the Golden Lion laughed.

"Lox and his gang, the encirclement is complete. You have nowhere to escape. Surrender now!" the Griffin General said decisively.

"Hahaha, what a joke! It's just a mere Buster Call. You think you can keep me here? Who do you think I am?" Rocks laughed arrogantly.

Black and red lightning streaked across the sky, its power overwhelming all directions.

The previously continuous artillery barrage suddenly stopped.

This unexpected turn of events caused both admirals to frown.

"General"

The communication phone from the warship was connected.

"It's terrible, generals! Just now, a number of people on the warship suddenly collapsed without any warning."

"What?!" General Raymond's voice rose eight octaves.

"It's that guy's Conqueror's Haki!!!" Admiral Griffin took a deep breath, realized what was happening, and guessed the reason.

The sudden collapse of the marine responsible for loading shells on the warship was inextricably linked to the Conqueror's Haki that Rocks had just released.

Even from such a distance, it can still cause dizziness and affect the sailors on warships. Such a powerful Conqueror's Haki is rarely seen in the world.

On the other side, the God Knight Manmaiagoro, who had been beaten to a pulp by Newgate and carelessly tossed aside, was fully restored thanks to the immortality granted by the Deep Sea Pact. He now stood together with Garin, Taros, and Junko once again.

"Edward Newgate, do you think you can defeat me with your strength?"

Seeing Newgate's shocked expression, the knight of gods, Guluo, couldn't help but smile smugly.

"I was just playing around with you for fun. Be grateful for my mercy; this should be the last highlight of your life!"

"Huh?" Newgate was stunned. He had never seen such a shameless person before!

Not long ago, he beat his underlings like dogs, leaving them no chance to fight back. Now, they dare to spout nonsense and act tough in front of him. This really infuriates Newgate.

"Kulalala"

The young white-bearded man laughed in anger.

"To borrow a phrase from Luo Chuan, I really want to ask you, who gave you the courage to say these things in front of me? Was it those warships overseas? If so..."

Duh!

Newgate casually stuck the long-handled naginata into the ground.

His large hands were clenched into claws and raised high at a 45-degree angle.

Then, he loosened his five fingers into a half-clenched fist. The intangible and formless Qi transformed into substance in his hand and was grasped by him.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The sky shook, and the earth trembled.

The devastating power of the Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit explodes!

Young Newgate, with his white beard, grabbed the atmosphere with both hands and pulled hard.

Tear!

The atmosphere cracked open with spiderweb-like fissures.

Then, an even more horrifying scene unfolded.

Centered on Execution Island, the sea within a five-kilometer radius is fragmented into pieces, rising and falling, swaying uncertainly.

At this moment, the twenty naval warships surrounding Execution Island tilted and collided with each other.

In just a few seconds, the once intact Demon Buster's net was torn apart, revealing countless flaws.

"Ah... Ahhhh"

"W-w-is this the end of the world?"

"Poseidon...it's Poseidon who's angry!"

The screams of terror and horror from the still-conscious sailors on the warship rose and fell incessantly.

“Hahaha, monsters… one or two of them are all monsters!” Shiki the Golden Lion was moved.

The faces of Griffin and Raymond, the two admirals, were both extremely grim.

Even with a super-doubled Buster Call, it seems still isn't enough to deal with these monsters.

"What a joke... How could anyone besides that lord possess such power, especially a mere ant from the lower realm..." The Izanbaron family's knight of the gods stared wide-eyed, his face filled with shock.

“Wow~ Monster!!!” Figarandgarin gasped.

"Gulp!" Manmaiyagul's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

This time I really messed up. If I had known this man would be so fierce when he got angry, I wouldn't have said anything.

"Seniors, you are immortal! How can you be frightened by ants from the lower realm?" Junzi encouraged the three.

Garin: "..."

Gu Luo: "..."

They are indeed immortal, but even immortals feel pain!

"Rocks and that monster are one thing, but that man absolutely cannot be let go."

Taros, the knight of the gods of the Izanbaron family, stared intently at Luo Chuan.

If I can't beat the monster, surely I can beat you?

Luo Chuan's Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability is indeed very powerful, but it is not yet insurmountable.

If they join forces, capturing Luo Chuan won't be a big problem.

The general and the knights of the gods exchanged glances and nodded in tacit agreement.

When the battle resumes, they will use Luo Chuan, the weakest of the three, as their starting point.

Even if Rocks and Newgate escape, it doesn't matter. Luo Chuan is also the culprit. We can get away with just catching him.

Although Luo Chuan's Observation Haki was far from being able to read people's minds, he could still sense the strong malice emanating from the other side.

Rocks and Newgate unleashed their ultimate abilities one after the other, surprising them.

This led them to develop the misconception that they were the only ones who could be bullied.

It has to be said that their intuition was indeed correct.

In a real fight, Luo Chuan is indeed no match for Rocks, and he's also somewhat inferior to Newgate.

But it would be a big mistake to underestimate him because of this and treat him as an easy target.

Before the editing function was enabled, you thought I was easy to bully, and I didn't care about you.

However, just a few days ago, the editing function was enabled, and Luo Chuan used 50,000 reputation points to continuously enhance himself.

Ultimate abilities aren't unique to Rocks and Newgate!

The same thing happened in Luochuan, and it was even more terrifying!

"Newborn knights, let me see you catch this move!"

Luo Chuan raised his right hand above his head, pointing a single finger to the sky.

Click!

A tiny bolt of lightning shot from his fingertip, disappearing into the depths of the dark clouds, connecting the sky and the earth.

Boom!

Deep within the thick clouds, something enormous seemed to be awakening, releasing an aura of cataclysmic destruction.

On Execution Island, the two generals, the three knights of God, the soldiers, as well as Lox, Newgate, and the Golden Lion, all looked up at the same time, their pupils suddenly contracting.

"What exactly is it...?"

Boom!

Like a lotus bud just beginning to emerge, the deep blue sphere pierces through layers of clouds, revealing its awe-inspiring form.

The ultimate attack of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Thunderclap!!!

……

Chapter 36 The Knight of God, Die!

Lei Ying!

Welcome!

The ultimate attack of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, developed by Enel, the god of the Sky Islands in later generations.

Using the Ark's 'Proverbs' as an aid, release a massive amount of lightning clouds into the sky.

Then, the lightning energy from the massive thundercloud created by the Ark was gathered into a giant spherical lightning bolt.

Ball lightning is filled with vortexes of airflow and lightning. Once it touches the ground, it will explode instantly, causing a terrifying thunderstorm explosion.

Its power is so great that it can easily destroy an entire island; it's a true island-destroying ultimate move!

Without the Ark's Proverbs to aid it, Luochuan theoretically shouldn't be able to replicate Lei Ying's power.

However, he has a Devil Fruit editor, which allows him to use any powerful attack that is deemed 'legal' through editing.

Furthermore, editing ultimate moves allows you to accumulate and store them for future use.

This lightning strike was the result of Luo Chuan's efforts over the past few days.

It's not large in scale, not reaching its limit, but its power is by no means small.

When the giant ball of lightning appeared in the sky above the island, everyone present couldn't help but change their expressions.

"Hey, hey, hey, what the hell is this thing? If it falls, it'll be really bad!"

The smile on Shiki the Golden Lion's face vanished, and every cell in his body urged him to escape.

"Hahaha, this is truly an incredible surprise, Luo Chuan! I never expected you to have secretly practiced your ultimate move behind our backs." After a brief moment of astonishment, Locke couldn't help but laugh.

The knight of God, Garin, could not laugh; he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, such a terrifying ball of lightning... when did he prepare it?"

"Thor Luochuan, do you intend to perish with us?" the Griffin General demanded sternly.

"Total destruction? General, in this world, who would be stupid enough to be killed by their own move?" Luo Chuan crossed his arms and spoke sarcastically.

"You're a lightning user, so of course you're fine, but we'll be in trouble!" the young white-bearded Newgate retorted.

“That’s right, your two companions are here too. I don’t believe you dare to overturn the table. It’s just bluffing. Everyone, come at me together!” the Izanbaron family’s knight of gods shouted.

The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly drew his sword and launched a swift attack on Luo Chuan.

The humiliation of being stomped on and blown apart by Luo Chuan had driven him almost insane; only Luo Chuan's blood could wash away this humiliation.

Despite the encouragement from the divine knight Talos, neither the generals nor the other divine knights advanced but retreated.

Because they discovered that Luo Chuan was not bluffing; he was serious.

Just as Taros launched his attack, Luo Chuan pressed his fingers down slightly.

Boom!

The giant spherical lightning, which had been floating in the sky, began to move and fall toward the island.
