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

Unfortunately, their prayers were in vain.

Having dodged a large wave of sea monsters, he ultimately fell to Luo Chuan and Lockes.

Upon witnessing this scene, Spencer and his party returned immediately, gathered their companions, and informed them of the situation.

Upon learning of the captain's arrest, Roger's group turned pale and began to grumble and complain about the capricious captain.

However, despite the complaints, those who need to be rescued still need to be rescued. They can't just break up and divide the luggage after the captain is arrested.

You must follow the captain you chose, even if it means tears in your eyes; this is the essence of loyalty and righteousness in the sea.

And so, this scene unfolded!

With a deafening roar, the magnificent Crimson Demon Banquet Hall collapsed.

Two axes flew back and forth in the hall, their blades incredibly sharp, easily slicing through the marble pillars.

That's Spark Jaba, the third-in-command of Roger's group, making his move!

In addition, there is Silbazarelli, the vice-captain of Roger's crew.

With a single slash, the sword energy bloomed like the red spider lilies, tearing off the ceiling of the banquet hall.

Spencer, Colonel Moulin, Sambel, Momora, and other top players also launched their own attacks, completely destroying the banquet hall before the Red Devils could react, plunging the scene into huge chaos.

"Damn it! He... Rocks and his gang actually have reinforcements!"

"No, that's not right, they're not from Rocks, they're from Roger Haig!"

"It's not just Gol D. Roger, Roger's entire gang has invaded!"

The angry shouts of the Red Devils' officers and staff rose and fell incessantly.

"They want to rescue Gol D. Roger? They're not going to succeed!"

Someone from the Red Devils reacted quickly, immediately drawing their sword to finish off the unconscious Roger.

Sizzle~

At that critical moment, a flash of deep blue lightning appeared.

Just as the sea ox was about to deliver the final blow, it was struck by a bolt of lightning and charred to death.

Rayleigh's slash followed immediately, repelling all the follow-up attackers and allowing him to successfully retreat with the unconscious Roger.

"Thor Luo Chuan, why are you helping us?" Jaba noticed Luo Chuan's intervention and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

According to Spencer's report, their captain was captured by Luo Chuan and Lockes working together.

"Don't misunderstand, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Your presence can help us share some of the pressure," Luo Chuan said calmly.

"Hey, that's simple and clear, that's exactly how it should be!" Jaba grinned, wielding his double axes, and launched a fierce attack.

On the other side.

Roger's ship's doctor immediately examined the unconscious captain and concluded, "The captain is not seriously injured; he has simply fainted!"

"That's good!" Roger breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wake up, Roger, wake up now!"

Without saying a word, Rayleigh slapped Roger across the face several times without any mercy.

Before long, Roger's face swelled up like a pig's head and became completely unrecognizable.

However, Rayleigh's big hood did have an effect, waking Roger from his coma.

"Damn it... my head hurts so much, like someone hit me with a hammer, and my face hurts too..."

Roger woke up clutching his head, feeling pain all over.

"Rayle, what exactly happened?" Roger asked, his tongue slurring.

Rayleigh immediately turned his head away guiltily, not daring to look at Roger at that moment, for fear of laughing out loud.

"Captain, now is not the time to worry about other things. Our priority should be to find a way to retreat," a crew member said.

"Wait, I think I remember now..."

A flash of inspiration struck Roger, and his confused memories gradually returned.

"Damn it, Rocks, it's that guy... They and the Scarlet Devil actually used me as a prize for Dave's back fight, and they even ambushed me when I wasn't paying attention. This absolutely cannot be left like this."

Roger suddenly stood up, his fighting spirit soaring.

"Where is Rocks? Where is he?"

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh and the others couldn't help but look towards the dilapidated banquet hall.

At this very moment, amidst the chaos of the battlefield, there exists a pure land, or more accurately, a land of peril, where no one dares to approach, and no one can get close.

Rocks and Redbeard, two powerful figures, faced off. Although they had not actually fought, an invisible clash of their auras had already begun.

Black and red Conqueror's Haki lightning surged continuously from their bodies, then collided and clashed fiercely.

Boom!

Boom boom boom!

A powerful mental pressure radiated outwards, causing many members of the Scarlet Devil Group to stagger backwards, once again being knocked down by Conqueror's Haki.

“This second round of the competition isn’t actually that troublesome. Once we take you down, your rabble will be scattered.” Lox spoke calmly.

"Gurgle, I guess, but only if you can do it!" Redbeard Eric grinned, his blood-red beard wriggling like tentacles.

“Then let’s go!” Rocks drew his sword.

The rapier 'Erosion' mercilessly slashed down at the red-bearded man.

Faced with Rocks's fierce attack, Redbeard neither dodged nor evaded, a calm smile always playing on his lips.

The next second, a single note of a piano rang out, and Lox's attack was blocked!

Without warning, an invisible, transparent barrier appeared out of thin air.

Even a powerful strike like Rocks's could not cleave it; it remained completely still.

"My duty is to be Lord Redbeard's shield, and no one can break through!" Kurozumi Sangumaru said calmly.

"Lox, you think you can challenge the captain? Don't be delusional. Our captain is the overlord of this sea, not someone a man like you can provoke." Black Charcoal Twilight Cicada mocked and laughed wantonly.

"Shut up!" Luo Chuan flicked his finger, and a bolt of lightning veered off course, striking the black charcoal cicada behind the barrier, causing it to fall straight down on the spot.

"Your opponents are us!" The Red Devil gang members swarmed forward, intending to surround and hunt down Luo Chuan.

"Ski, sorry, but now you're our enemy too!" The Golden Lion was also being targeted by his former comrades.

"Hahaha, what heartless fellows you are, but I still love you, so I'll spare you this time."

Shiki the Golden Lion laughed and used the mobility of the Float Fruit to fly into the sky.

In this duel, they will not help each other.

He was nominally a member of the Rocks Order, and theoretically should have helped Rocks.

However, the current situation is complicated, and who knows if he will eventually return to the Red Devils.

If you go too far and offend all your former partners, it will be difficult for you to get along in the future.

Therefore, Shiki the Golden Lion decided to remain neutral for the time being.

Fortunately, there is a third party here who does not belong to Rocks and Redbeard.

"Gol D. Roger, I'll be your opponent!" The Golden Lion laughed as he charged at Roger.

Roger, his head swollen, glanced at the Golden Lion before slashing out with his knife.

Sizzle~

Black and red wire-like lightning bolts coiled around the blade.

The two swords were ten centimeters apart, and before they even touched, the terrifying shockwave had already arrived, sending the Golden Lion Shiki flying.

"After being hit by Rocks just now, I've realized one thing: Conqueror's Haki can indeed be used!"

……

Chapter 52 Divine Evasion!!!

"Conqueror's Haki can be used to create entanglements!"

Roger murmured softly, his Supreme Grade Sword swirling with black and red streaks of lightning.

Unlike the Straw Hat Boy who speedruns the first half of Paradise in six months and the New World in a few months, this story is different.

The older generation of the old days fought their way across the great sea routes in a truly methodical and thorough manner.

Roger set sail at the age of seventeen and has been at sea for five or six years now.

It is precisely because of the accumulation of time that his three types of Haki have been honed to perfection.

Roger's mastery of both Armament Haki and Observation Haki has reached a level of consummate skill.

Roger was also skeptical of Conqueror's Haki, but one question had been troubling him.

If Armament Haki can be used to entwine, then what about Conqueror's Haki?

Before today, this was just an idea, and even with Roger's talent, he still couldn't get started.

Only now, after experiencing Rocks's overwhelming sword technique, has Roger finally confirmed this fact and successfully gained entry into the inner circle.

"Roger, you bastard... what kind of move was that just now?" Shiki the Golden Lion clenched his teeth, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

He originally thought that with his own strength, he could at least fight Roger, who only had a bounty of 500 million, to a standstill.

Unexpectedly, the battle had barely begun when it almost came to an end.

Roger's powerful, long-range slash just now far exceeded his expectations.

He was struck so hard that he coughed up blood and flew backward, his head buzzing.

Despite suffering a severe mental blow, he managed to avoid losing consciousness on the spot thanks to his strong will.

If he were to fall and be instantly killed, he would truly lose face.

"Haha, since you asked, then give a name to the move I just used."

Rogers spoke, his elbow tucked in, and after a short while, he had his answer: "It's decided, this move will be called Divine Evasion!"

God, beware!

Even the gods must flee!

Even the gods cannot escape it!

"God's evasion? What a boastful tone, Gol D!" Rocks noticed Roger's evolution and, while surprised, couldn't help but sneer.

"It's Roger D. Rocks! You stole my money earlier, now it's time to settle the score!" Roger strode forward toward Rocks.

He was once a well-known figure on the high seas, but he was instantly killed by Rocks and knocked unconscious.

This matter remained a thorn in Roger's side, causing him to hold a grudge.

"Do you also want to challenge me?" Locke asked.

"Gurgle, you're the challenger," the red-bearded man said calmly.

"Shut up, Rocks, and Redbeard, both of you are going to be blown away by me!" Roger roared domineeringly.

Rocks D. Gebrick, Gol D. Roger, and Redbeard, the kingpin of the amusement park, form a triangle, facing off against each other.

"Honestly, you idiot Roger, now is not the time to fight with Rocks!" Rayleigh cursed under his breath.

“The enemy of the enemy, even if not a friend, cannot be an enemy, at least not now.” Jaba was also secretly anxious. He looked at Luo Chuan and said, “Thor, you should also advise your family.”

"Forget it, I'm used to it. Let them do what they want. I'm not going to interfere anymore." Luo Chuan shrugged.

After saying that, under the dumbfounded gazes of Jaba and the others, Luo Chuan transformed into a bolt of lightning and immediately disengaged from the battle... and disappeared!

Is Luo Chuan afraid and running away?

The truth is, of course, not so!

Luo Chuan's decision to withdraw from the battle at this moment was because he was thinking of someone.

Newgate!
