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

"Ugh oh ugh oh ugh oh"

"Cheers, my men, to the madman Rocks!"

"oh--!!!"

The throngs of sea monsters gathered in Mogu Town seemed to be holding some kind of celebration.

All of this was because Luo Chuan and the other two live-streamed the execution of Tianlongren, which made Naoyuu, who was also a member of the Hai Li clan, feel honored.

Next to Mogok town, at the Gaya Ruins, a medium-sized two-masted sailing ship is moored on the shore.

On the mast, the sea monsters painted with nose hair waves fluttered in the wind; they were Roger Sea Monsters.

At one point, a splash was heard on the surface of the water, and the young Gol D. Roger broke out of the water, his face full of excitement.

"Hey, Rayleigh, look what I found! Gold... This is an artwork made of gold! I knew the legend of the Gold Country was true!"

Wow~

Another sound of water flowing out.

"I found it too! A wonderful thing made of pure gold! Could the legendary Golden City have really sunk to the bottom of the sea?" Spark Jaba, the third-in-command of Roger's group, was also full of excitement.

“Roger, Jaba, stop what you’re doing and come take a look at this,” Rayleigh called out.

The two men emerged from the water and returned to the deck, wiping the seawater off their bodies as they took the newspaper.

At just one glance, Jaba's eyes widened in shock: "The Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles... a live-streamed public execution, Rocks and his gang... are they really going this far?"

"Hahaha, what a terrible bunch of villains!" Roger laughed.

……

……

An island in the waters off New Zealand that resembles an octopus.

This is the headquarters of the Red Devil Pirate F, the master of the first half of the Grand Line.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle, what a bunch of troublesome brats! Openly going against the World Government, there will be no place for you on this ocean anymore!"

Captain Eric the Redbeard of the Red Devils, the captain of the Pirate Ship F, laughed heartily, then abruptly changed the subject.

"However, I can reluctantly take you in... As long as they become my subordinates, it will be just around the corner for them to return to the New World and avenge their previous defeat."

……

……

The second half of the Grand Line: the New World.

"Rocks D. Gibbs, Edward Newgate, and Thor Luo Chuan..."

The man who ruled the new world in this era tapped rhythmically on the table with his fingers.

"I'm waiting for you to come to the New World, especially you—Thor!"

……

……

Thanks to the coverage from major news agencies, Luo Chuan's spectacular live broadcast was finally worthwhile.

A steady stream of reputation points flowed towards Luo Chuan, and when he woke up from his hangover, his reputation points had already exceeded 200,000.

[Congratulations, host! Your accumulated reputation points have exceeded 200,000. Super editing function unlocked.]

……

Chapter 38 Super Editor and Awakening

[Reputation Value: 255967]

Since the major event was reported, in just half a day, Luo Chuan's reputation value has exceeded 200,000 and continues to rise.

For Luo Chuan personally, this number is barely satisfactory, but still acceptable.

Compared to the vast ocean, the shimmering waves and the towering peaks of the sea are truly breathtaking.

However, considering some practical factors, this number is not small.

First of all, the fact that news agencies' newspapers are known all over the world is just a figure of speech; there are many places that newsbirds cannot reach.

Secondly, not everyone in the areas visited by newsbirds reads the newspapers and knows about it.

Only a small segment of the world has the money and leisure to spend money on newspapers.

Many people are busy making a living every day, never read newspapers, and are even less willing to waste money on this.

Finally, there's the issue of Luo Chuan's identity. His unique identity naturally makes many people resistant to him.

Even though Luo Chuan did something very gratifying this time, many people still care about his past actions, and some even believe that it's like dogs fighting each other.

Considering all the factors combined, achieving this result in one day is quite good.

Furthermore, this is not the final number; it's just the beginning.

The public execution of the Celestial Dragons is a significant event with a long-tail effect.

Through word of mouth from those in the know, more and more people will come to know about this.

This is a long-term benefit.

"Let's put our reputation to good use today, and start by trying out this so-called super editing feature!"

Luo Chuan's mind sank into the editor's dark room, his eyes fixed intently on the newly lit "Super Editor".

He raised his hand and tapped the "Super Editor" button.

The next second, a warm and friendly reminder popped up.

[Note 1: Using Super Edit will consume 100,000 reputation points each time.]

[Note 2: Super editors can add powerful entries that regular editors cannot.]

[Note 3: Within reasonable limits, it is even possible to rename a Devil Fruit, affecting its original abilities.]

[Note 4: Friendly reminder, adding the 'Awakening' keyword to the Devil Fruit has a chance to awaken it with one click.]

[Note 5: Regarding Note 4, the awakening probability is related to the strength of the fruit; the stronger the fruit, the lower the one-click awakening probability.]

Looking at the series of annotations about the super editor that popped up in the editor, Luo Chuan couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.

The Super Edit feature, which costs 100,000 reputation points to use once, is indeed quite impressive.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

A simple edit of 10,000 times can create something out of nothing, allowing Luo Chuan to instantly obtain the island-destroying ultimate move, [Thunderous Welcome].

The super editor, which can edit once every 100,000 times, is naturally excellent. At this moment, Luo Chuan's attention is entirely focused on the one-click awakening of Note 4.

By spending just 100,000 reputation points, there's a chance to awaken a Devil Fruit on the spot—that's an incredible opportunity!

After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the awakening of the Devil Fruit is the ultimate goal of developing the fruit.

Under normal circumstances, a person may not be able to reach the level of awakening even if they spend their entire life.

With Luo Chuan carrying multiple demonic fruits on his own, he simply didn't have the time to develop them one by one.

So far, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit alone has been enough to keep him busy, and he hasn't had time to worry about his other abilities.

Now that he has this one-click awakening function, Luo Chuan naturally wants to give it a try.

After much deliberation, he made his decision.

"As expected, we still need to start with our natal thunder." Luo Chuan nodded slightly.

The awakening of Zoan and Paramecia types can be traced, and there are quite a few people in this world who can achieve it.

Only Logia-type Devil Fruit users have never been known to awaken their powers.

Even Luo Chuan, a transmigrator, didn't know what the effects of awakening a nature-based ability were.

Because I don't know, I want to see. Even if I fail, it doesn't matter, at least I tried.

With a thought, Luo Chuan transformed 100,000 reputation points into a thick, solid pen of willpower.

Luo Chuan, with a flourish, added the entry for 'Awakening' below the Thunder Fruit.

The word "Awakening" was successfully written, and just as Luo Chuan's eyes lit up, thinking that the awakening was successful, he saw the newly added awakening entry start to shake violently, as if it were the last tremor of capturing a Pokémon with a Poké Ball. Finally, there was a loud bang, and it exploded into starlight and disappeared.

Finish!

Didn't get it!

It's definitely too difficult to catch a legendary Pokémon with a regular Poké Ball.

It's a lie to say I'm not heartbroken when all the 100,000 reputation points I painstakingly earned disappear in an instant.

But this was a decision Luo Chuan made himself; as a man, he had to bear the consequences of the losses.

The remaining reputation points can be used for one more super edit.

Undeterred by setbacks, Luo Chuan decided to try the one-click awakening function again.

However, this time, we can't afford to waste time on the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

The fruit of the trembling tree?

No, no!

This thing is even more overpowered than the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

After much deliberation, Luo Chuan turned his gaze to the Animal-type Devil Fruit section.

Ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits are practically useless compared to the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit, two formidable weapons.

Their greatest role is to enhance Luo Chuan's physical attributes during the recording process.

In his previous battle against the God Knight Garin, Luo Chuan was able to fight him with his physical strength alone, even without using the Devil Fruit.

There's no clear direction in the development of Zoan-type Devil Fruits; it's just a matter of three transformations, following the path of "great strength, great power, great speed."

However, to be fair, the Beastman form of the Animal Awakening, with its own auspicious cloud ribbons, is indeed quite cool.

"Let's give it a try."

Luo Chuan nodded and immediately chose the Animal-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Tiger Form, as his ability.

The 100,000 reputation points were transformed into a super willpower pen, which once again wrote the words "Awakening".

As before, the new entry trembled violently. Just when Luo Chuan thought it was going to fail again, the trembling entry gradually stabilized and finally shone with a brilliant golden light.

The Golden Legend!!!

One-click awakening, success!!!

"It actually worked!"

Luo Chuan's eyes lit up, and his heart surged with excitement.

The next second, a strange energy swept over his entire body.

A powerful feeling arose spontaneously, and Luo Chuan could feel that he was full of strength in every move he made.

The awakening of his Zoan-type Tiger-Tiger Fruit power unexpectedly brought a second enhancement to his physical body.

It has to be said that this was another unexpected surprise.

It took Luo Chuan a long time to finally digest the surprise of the Tiger Fruit awakening.

I have 50,000 reputation points left, not enough to support one super edit, but enough for five regular edits.

Although he might be able to unlock the super edit again tomorrow, Luo Chuan couldn't wait.

As the saying goes, only money spent on yourself is truly valuable.

The ultimate move attribute of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is so useful, it's only natural that two more should be added.
