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

With his brother missing, Luo Chuan had no choice but to stand up on his own and observe the so-called horror paradise with Ba Jin's explanation.

Wherever he went, he saw many incredible 'creatures', and even mythical beasts.

For example, Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, and the legendary unicorn...

Without exception, all of these strange creatures had traces of stitches on their bodies.

This strong sense of déjà vu unconsciously reminded Luo Chuan of the Thriller Bark of Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in later generations.

In this way, the abilities of the demon generals under the Red Devil's command, as well as the mysterious master of the horror paradise, are about to be revealed.

Paramecia-type Shadow-Shadow Fruit!!!

"So, those waiters I saw in the city before, who had both human and beast characteristics, weren't mink, but zombies?" Luo Chuan wondered.

During his week on the island, Luo Chuan discovered a peculiar phenomenon.

Those were the island's service staff, almost all of whom were 'beastmen'.

At first, Luo Chuan thought they were all animal-type ability users and tried to attack them.

However, the feedback regarding the Devil Fruit was not included in the end, indicating that those beastmen were not Devil Fruit users.

When it comes to non-powered beastmen, the first thing that comes to Luo Chuan's mind is the Mink Tribe.

But if it's a fur tribe, then there are many doubts.

The Mink tribe is a fighting people and would never willingly become slaves.

Secondly, the number of orcs on this island is quite considerable, probably more than the entire Mink Tribe of the entire Mink Principality combined.

Where did Red Devil Shopping F get so many fur-bearers from?

Furthermore, fur-bearers command high prices in the human auction market, making them a poor value for money when employed as waiters.

If it were about stitching together zombies, then it would be somewhat plausible.

“Miss Barkin, I have a question,” Luo Chuan said, deciding to seek confirmation from Barkin.

“Mr. Luo Chuan, please speak.” Barking Gombmstusi nodded slightly.

"Did all the orcs on this island come from here?" Luo Chuan asked.

“No, Mr. Luo Chuan, they didn’t come from Horror Paradise, but from somewhere else,” Bagin Gomstus said with a smile.

It's not a zombie!!!

Luo Chuan subconsciously sat up straight.

Before he could investigate further, Baggins drove the carriage to a stop in front of a huge ancient castle estate.

"Alright, we've arrived!"

Barkin leaped lightly and was the first to get off the bus.

"Lord Frankenstein, the guests of the Lox Legion have arrived!"

Clang!

The castle gates opened.

A tall man, wearing a white lab coat with seams all over his body, strode out from among them.

He is none other than one of the Four Demon Generals of the Crimson Devil Pirates – the Shadow-Shadow Fruit user, Frankenstein the Mad Scientist!

"Welcome, welcome, Loxport F, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Frankenstein, the mad scientist, greeted them warmly, his gaze toward Luo Chuan and Newgate unusually intense.

Being stared at with such lewd eyes by a man, the young white-bearded man couldn't help but feel disgusted, but he didn't lose his temper for Miss Bakkin's sake.

Luo Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that the mad scientist was not interested in them, but in the bodies and shadows of the strong.

Perhaps they wanted to play the long game, or perhaps they wanted to acquire Rocks as well.

Frankenstein, the mad scientist, did nothing to Luo Chuan and his companion. After a warm welcome, he had Bakkin escort them away.

For the next week, young Newgate would visit the haunted amusement park whenever he had a spare moment.

Luo Chuan only went with him twice in the past two days, and then he decisively left, no longer accompanying Newgate to pick up girls.

He has probably figured out the secrets of the Four Demon Generals of Horror Park.

Right now, what Luo Chuan is most curious about is the origin of those strange beastmen on the island.

It was another late night, and all was quiet on Octopus Island.

The Red Devils, who spend all their time at banquets, have a smug look on their faces.

A deep blue flash of lightning streaked across the moonlight.

Luochuan blends seamlessly with the night, overlooking the entire island from its elevated position.

"Huh~"

After a long period of observation, he finally discovered a clue.

……

……

At the same time.

A sea vessel was spotted near Octopus Island.

A cool night breeze swept by, and the nose hair, wave, skull flag fluttered freely.

Roger's Global Shopping F is here!!!

……

Chapter 45 Luo Chuan was horrified

Octopus Island, southwest coast, Roger's cargo ship quietly landed.

The reason they were here was not because of Roger's willfulness.

On that day, after seeing the bounties of Luo Chuan, Lockes, and Newgate, Roger, feeling inferior, immediately got motivated and wanted to create a big event to increase his bounty.

He proposed to challenge the dominant force in the first half of the park, but was unanimously rejected by all the crew members, including the first mate Raleigh and the third-in-command Jaba.

Ultimately, Roger continued with the original plan, following the tracking pointers and exploring island by island.

However, just two weeks ago, they met a new partner on an island.

For the sake of their new partner, they decided to bravely storm the stronghold of the park's overlord.

"Don't worry, Sambell, we will definitely rescue your sister Nina," Roger said firmly.

"Thank you, Roger, and everyone else, I really don't know how to thank you enough." The burly merman Sambell was deeply moved.

If he were alone, there's absolutely no way he could have gotten this far.

"Hahaha, we're partners now, there's no need for thanks between partners," Roger laughed.

"You idiot Roger, keep your voice down! Do you want to lure all the enemies here?" Rayleigh snapped.

“That’s right, we’re just here to rescue people, not to fight, understand?” Jaba, who was always at odds with Rayleigh, was often quite in sync with the captain when he was disciplining him.

Roger Hai, from the Octopus Mountain Range, overlooks the entire island.

Just as Rayleigh and the others were discussing their next move, Captain Roger had vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"That idiot captain, how many times has this happened already? Is he a husky? He just lets go and he's gone!" Roger's team wrote a rant.

……

……

At the same time.

Octopus Mountain Range in the southeast direction.

At first glance, there was nothing here, just barren land, not a blade of grass growing.

But just recently, Luo Chuan saw several members of the Red Devils running away from the Xin Ni area.

"So that's how it is, the secret was hidden underground!"

Luo Chuan scanned the mountain range with radar using Observation Color and discovered the clue.

This barren mountain area contains one trap-like cave after another.

The underground caverns are interconnected in all directions, and even Luochuan's radar and Observation Haki cannot reveal the full extent of the caverns.

"Is this a giant ant nest?" Luo Chuan frowned.

After a brief moment of thought, he decided to go down and take a look, since he had already come all this way.

Sizzle~

Luo Chuan transformed into a bolt of lightning, found an underground passage, and slid down in a flash.

"Ok?"

As soon as Luo Chuan entered the passage, he sensed something was wrong.

"Not the earth!"

He was surprised to find that the texture of the passage was not rough earth, but rather had a bouncy, fleshy feel.

This caused Luo Chuan to experience physical discomfort, giving him the feeling of sliding through someone else's intestines... No, intestines are usually smooth; a passage with granular protrusions is more like...

To make matters worse, the underground network is a chaotic mess, with interconnected pathways that can leave people completely disoriented.

"Damn it, I can't worry about that anymore."

Luo Chuan took a gold coin out of his pocket.

A Certain Scientific Railgun!!!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Luo Chuan used the super electromagnetic cannon to clear a path, piercing through countless meters of earth, and finally arrived at a huge underground cavity.

Sizzle~

Amidst flashes of lightning, Luo Chuan evaporated the unknown slime on his body using high temperature.

He looked up and saw that the ceiling he had blasted through with his electromagnetic cannon had now been filled back in with protruding flesh.

"This isn't the Tentacle World, so how can there be such a ghostly place?" Luo Chuan couldn't help but complain.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

Since he was already there, he wasn't in a hurry to leave, but instead began to observe his surroundings.

Like the previous passage, this underground cavity was completely covered by flesh, including the ground, walls, and ceiling.

In addition, large white cocoons hang from the walls and ceiling.

This scene reminded Luo Chuan of the Infinite Tsukuyomi from the Naruto world.

Each large white cocoon has a tube connected to the fleshy wall, it's unclear whether it's transporting or absorbing something.

Click!

Suddenly, a faint cracking sound came from the silent space.

Luo Chuan's gaze sharpened, locking onto a large white cocoon in the empty corner.

A thin crack appears on the surface of the cocoon, indicating that the thing inside is about to hatch.

Luo Chuan silently took out a gold coin, ready to give the hatched 'monster' a shot at any time.

Before long, the crack in the white cocoon widened, and a white, furry puppy rolled out of it.

Luo Chuan slammed on the brakes, withdrawing one of the super electromagnetic cannons, and began to observe the harmless little creature.

As if awakened by Luo Chuan's touch, the fluffy white dog stretched its small body, got up in a daze, looked around, and finally looked up at Luo Chuan, speaking in a human voice: "Big brother, where is this? Nina is a little scared..."

Boom!
