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

Lightning Release: Kirin!!!

Luo Chuan slowly lowered his raised right hand.

The next second, the enormous Thunder Qilin leaped out of the clouds, exuding an aura of world destruction.

"No wonder he's known as the God of Thunder."

Roger grinned, his face showing no fear whatsoever, only a surge of fighting spirit.

"Your lightning abilities are strong, but I won't give up so easily!"

Clang!

Roger drew his sword, his powerful Armament Haki swirling around him.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the area within a hundred meters was leveled by a single strike from the Thunder Qilin.

Endless electric snakes spread and roamed in all directions, and the red demon of electricity convulsed and twitched uncontrollably.

"This electric shock feels really strong."

Roger was also touched by the electric arc, which made him shudder, but his movements were not greatly affected.

Come on!

Faced with the Thunder Kirin's renewed attack, Roger neither dodged nor evaded, but met it head-on with a single slash.

In the blink of an eye, Roger and Lei Qilin passed each other, and the world seemed to stand still for a moment.

The Thunder Qilin staggered a few steps, then its enormous body split open from the middle and vanished.

Roger was surrounded by wisps of electric arcs, his body stiffened by the high-voltage current.

"Wow, hahahaha!"

Rocks's loud laughter grew louder as it approached, accompanied by a terrifying black and red swirling lightning bolt.

"Sorry, Redbeard, I've already won the first match!"

Boom!

The powerful, hammer-like strike crashed down, causing Roger, who was still stunned, to roll his eyes back.

……

Chapter 50 All-Out War

The power of lightning is absolute, even against the most powerful creatures.

In the moment of stiffness, a person is completely defenseless.

At this moment, being struck head-on, the outcome is predictable.

The man with a 500 million bounty, Future Hailou_Jie, was instantly defeated.

Under the onslaught of Rocks's hammer-like, overwhelming sword technique, Roger didn't even have a chance to resist before his eyes rolled back in his head.

……

……

The Crimson Devil Banquet Hall.

"Hahaha, I won the first Dave backfight match without hesitation, Redbeard!"

Lox laughed wildly and threw the unconscious Roger to the ground.

At this moment, the Red Devil team, led by Redbeard, all had tense facial expressions and could not smile.

You should know that this island is their base of operations.

In terms of numbers, the Rocks Group only had two or three people, while the Red Devil Group had thousands of times more.

However, despite having numerous advantages such as favorable timing, location, and human resources, they still managed to get there first.

"Hahaha, Redbeard, numbers are never the key, quality is what matters."

Rocks saw through Redbeard's thoughts and spoke with great enthusiasm.

"What did you say?"

"Are you saying we're not up to the task?"

The Red Devils wrote a series of angry rebukes.

"Sigh, this isn't what I said, it's what you said yourselves. It seems you're quite self-aware!" Locke shrugged.

One sentence reignited the crisis.

"Damn it, Rocks, don't get too cocky!"

"This time it was just your bluff, let's do it again..."

"Next time... next time we will definitely not lose again!"

Red Devil's team, feeling unconvinced, tried to save face.

That's enough!

The giant, red-bearded man with a massive appetite roared, his powerful aura dominating all directions.

"You guys did win the first match, Rocks and his gang. So, have you decided who you want to pick?" Redbeard suddenly laughed.

Luo Chuan frowned. He understood the red-bearded man's smile; it was a smile of arrogance.

They clearly lost, but why...?

"Hahaha, the person to be chosen was decided from the very beginning, wasn't he?"

Rocks said without hesitation, his gaze fixed on the Golden Lion Shiki.

"Shiki, come here, you're mine now!"

"This……"

Shiki the Golden Lion glanced at Captain Redbeard, whose expression remained unmoved.

"Hehehe, since it's the rule of Dave back fight, then there's nothing I can do."

Shiki the Golden Lion floated in the air and arrived behind Rocks.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy and tense.

Many Manchester United fans seem to be saying that he lacks loyalty and principles, and that he has really let things slide.

However, since Captain Redbeard didn't speak, they could only think it to themselves and didn't utter a word of complaint.

"Now that we've made our choices, let's not delay and start the second round of the competition!"

The red-bearded man grinned and continued, "In fact, the second round can be said to have already begun, and we've already taken the first win."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lockes frowned, seemingly puzzled.

“You should have seen that colossal titan by now, right? Since Shiki is one of yours, you can ask him how it operates,” Redbeard said.

Rocks looked at the Golden Lion Shiki with suspicion.

“Heh heh heh, that colossal giant was originally a corpse. The reason it can move is because of Frankenstein’s abilities,” the Golden Lion said.

"Paramecia-type Shadow-Shadow Fruit... Whose shadow did you put inside that giant's body?" Luo Chuan was suddenly startled. The moment the question left his mouth, he already had the answer in his heart.

"Gurgle, Thor Luochuan, your senses are more acute than your captain's, you should have already guessed it, right?" The red-bearded man's smile grew even more unrestrained.

"That idiot Newgate fell for it so easily," Luo Chuan gritted his teeth.

Rocks was still completely baffled and knew nothing about the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power.

"Luo Chuan, what exactly does this mean? What happened to Newgate?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Newgate should have already been captured by them, and his shadow has been used to resurrect the giant," Luo Chuan explained succinctly.

"what!"

Although Rocks still didn't quite understand why shadows could be used to resurrect people, he heard about Newgate's capture.

“Redbeard, are you breaking the rules of Dave’s back fight?” Rocks glared at Redbeard.

"Oh, no, no, no, don't misunderstand. As a member of the Heinrich, I am not playing Jones's game."

The red-bearded man nodded seriously, then immediately changed the subject.

"As I just mentioned, this is also part of the second match!"

“What do you mean?” Rocks raised an eyebrow.

"The next match is called 'Operation All-Out Capture,' which means that from now on, everyone on both sides is a participant. The condition for winning is to defeat all of the opponent's crew members. This match will not end until the last person on both sides falls."

Redbeard grinned, completely tearing off the mask of civility.

It's over!

I'm not pretending anymore!

In my territory, I will crush them with an overwhelming numerical advantage.

"So that's how it is. You've had this in mind from the beginning!"

Rocks understood his intentions but did not rebuke him. Although his methods were despicable, they were still within the rules of Dave's back fight.

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Winning first doesn't mean you've won. At the gambling table, what you win first is just paper!"

"The real showdown is just beginning!"

"You arrogant Lox and his gang, wake up! You're doomed!"

"Lord Shiki, this is the last time I'll call you 'Lord.' From now on, I won't hold back!"

The Red Devils, having grasped their captain's intentions, were now in a state of chaos.

In the first match, speed was the main factor, and the Red Devils' numerical advantage was not fully utilized.

In this second round, the huge advantage in the number of participants is real.

Their team consists of nearly 10,000 seafarers.

“Lox, I still admire you. If you surrender and join us now, you can avoid some physical pain,” the red-bearded man mocked.

"Hahaha"

Lox laughed, he laughed out loud.

"As I just said, what matters is not quantity, but quality. So what if your numbers are thousands of times greater than ours? Your rabble is nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs. In the end, who will win and who will lose is still unknown!"

Rocks's words became the fuse that ignited the battle.

Enraged, the Red Devils executives erupted in anger.

Suddenly, at that moment, an unexpected and shocking change occurred.

"The Other Shore Blade!!!"

"An 80-year-old tyrant!!!"

"Captain Roger, we're here to rescue you!!!"

……

Chapter 51 Even Conqueror's Haki can be used to entangle.

Let's rewind the clock by half an hour.

The rampage of the Colossal Titan inevitably attracted the attention of Roger's crew, who were lurking and exploring various parts of the island.

Roger's intelligence operative Spencer and his group sneaked into the brewery town and witnessed Roger defeating the Colossal Titan.

Before they could even say hello and find their lost captain, the Dave back fight between the Rocks Pirates and the Scarlet Devil Pirates began.

The exposed intruder Roger became the target of the Xinggang team's pursuit.

Seeing this situation, Spencer and the others naturally dared not jump out to acknowledge Roger, and could only observe Qi Ding secretly.
