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

Ganful once said that people from Qinghai can start from the top of the western sky, pass through several sky islands along the way, and finally arrive at Gaya Sky Island.

Ganford's statement is not without merit, indicating that someone did indeed travel this route to Golden Country.

Therefore, after Lockes proposed taking this path half a month ago, Luo Chuan did not object.

As it happened, he was also very curious about how to get to the Sky Island from the Western Peak.

The island of West Peak has a very unique shape. When viewed from the sky, it looks like a cake that has been cut horizontally and vertically into four equal parts.

The inland river, crisscrossed by horizontal and vertical crosses, runs through the entire island, bustling with boats coming and going.

On the four separate islands, all kinds of shops are scattered, and the dazzling array of goods is overwhelming.

Luo Chuan sailed his boat from the southeast towards the summit of Xitian. Along the way, the cries of vendors could be heard incessantly from the shore.

"Captain, before heading to the Sky Island, how about we resupply here and gather some intelligence?" Luo Chuan said.

Besides resupplying, Luo Chuan also wanted to gather information about people with special abilities.

Such a lively island must have capable people.

Luo Chuan prepared to bring his captain and have a showdown with them.

“Alright,” Rocks nodded.

"Let's go!" Luo Chuan turned the helm, preparing to dock. After being at sea for several days, Luo Chuan's helmsmanship skills had become relatively proficient.

Suddenly, at that moment, the inland shipping route became turbulent, and the ripples on the water surface abruptly subsided.

The entire route fell silent in an instant, completely still, as if it had entered a doldrums.

“Something’s coming!” Rocks raised an eyebrow.

As soon as he finished speaking, the calm water surface suddenly rippled violently.

The powerful current carried the sea creature faster and faster.

At the same time, the entire summit of the Western Paradise also became restless.

"Ughh ...

"They're here! They're here! They're here!"

"The once-a-month Sky Current is coming!"

"Contestants who have registered to go to the Sky Island, get ready..."

"Those who want to place bets should hurry up, or you'll have to wait a month!"

The cacophony of shouts echoed across the entire summit of the Western Paradise, lingering for a long time.

Boom!

A loud bang.

At the center of the intersecting islands, a massive ocean current surges into the sky.

Along with the towering ocean currents, one after another, seagoing vessels were swept up.

"Hahaha, this is what they mean by 'better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early'!" Rocks laughed.

Luo Chuan also understood what was going on.

There is a regular gushing current at the top of the Western Paradise, occurring once a month.

Luo Chuan initially thought there was some novel high-tech equipment here that would allow for safe travel to the Sky Island, but...

"As long as we have enough supplies, I don't want to wait another month," Lockes said.

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go then!" After a brief moment of surprise, Luo Chuan also became interested.

How could you miss such a romantic experience of riding the towering ocean currents to the Sky Island?

The Rusty Steel ship accelerated and was about to reach the crossroads when a fence appeared in front of it.

"Hey, that ship over there, the entrance is sealed off. If you're looking for death... no, I mean, to the Sky Island, you can register next month," the fence guard shouted.

"Captain?" Luo Chuan looked at Lockes.

"Never mind him, just keep moving forward!" Lockes drew his rapier from his waist.

Boom!

Heavy hammer sword technique, explosive!

The iron fence, made of fine steel, shattered with a loud crash.

"Go on!"

Rocks sat at the bow of the ship, raising his arms and shouting.

Propelled by the surging ocean current, the Rust Iron soared into the sky.

"Boss, Boss, there's an intruder at Entrance Three! They've already boarded the surging current!" the security guard in charge of the gate reported hurriedly.

"What did you say..."

The manager of the Western Summit was first taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"These days, there are still people rushing to their deaths. Ignore them, notify the host to report this situation, and open a new betting pool at the casino to see how long they can hold out!"

"Yes!"

Soon, thanks to official propaganda, everyone on the island became aware of the intruders' existence.

In an instant, the crowd was excited, and the gamblers grabbed their money and started a new round of betting.

Neither Rocks nor Luo Chuan paid any attention to the revelry below.

At this very moment, they are rising under immense pressure.

On several occasions, the bow of the boat was tilted upwards, almost capsizing.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Rocks intervened, using his omnipotent power to stabilize the ship.

Finally, after a five-minute flight through the sky, the clouds parted and the blue sky appeared.

Luo Chuan and his companion rode the surging ocean current and successfully reached the White Sea, which was seven thousand meters above the ground.

Not far ahead, a floating island built above the clouds came into view.

……

At the same time.

Sky Island - Xiaoxitian, Central Temple.

On the throne, someone opened their eyes.

Chi Chi!

A blue electric arc appeared.

"Those who invade the realm of the gods shall die!"

……

Chapter 7 includes the Thunder Fruit.

Kongdao, Xiaoxitian, East Coast.

Boom!

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, a crater several hundred meters in diameter was blasted open in the island's land.

The powerful shockwave spread rapidly in all directions, causing towering waves to rise on the white sea.

After a long while, all the commotion subsided.

Within the giant crater of the island cloud, Lox held an ancient figure in one hand.

"Uncle, don't look down on me!"

"Speak," Lockes said, tossing the old man aside like a dead dog.

"Cough cough!"

He coughed, and a wisp of electricity shot out of his mouth.

"Captain, are you alright?"

As Luo Chuan was thrown backward by the shockwave, he pulled a large hammer from his backpack as he walked.

What exactly happened?

Luo Chuan said he didn't know either.

Just minutes ago, they had moored their boat on the shore, ready to rest and explore the island.

As soon as they landed, a strange old man suddenly rushed out and looked down at them.

He mumbled something about God, punishment, kneeling, submission, and other lofty words.

What Rocks disliked most were those self-important people, whether they were Celestial Dragons or the old man in front of him, they were all the same.

He dared to storm world conferences and kill generals, so naturally he wouldn't tolerate such a strange old guy.

And then, that was it.

Rocks swung his heavy hammer down, and the arrogant old man immediately became obedient.

Locke knew nothing about the identity of this extraordinary old man; he only knew one thing.

This old man is the Crocodile Rider, who delivers Devil Fruits to him.

Yes!

In the battle just now, the old man with divine powers did put up some resistance.

After seeing his attack, how could Luo Chuan not recognize that the old man was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?!

This discovery thrilled Luo Chuan; it was like a windfall, something he absolutely couldn't miss.

After all, this is the strongest natural type!

Even among the Logia-type Devil Fruits, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is among the top-tier!

It combines extreme speed and immense power, enough to make an ordinary person rise to the top in one step!

An excited heart, trembling hands.

Luo Chuan raised the hammer high above his head and mercilessly smashed it down on the unconscious old man, Xiang Lei.

puff!

The old man's head split open, and he died instantly, beyond any doubt.

At the same time.

[Congratulations, host, on your victory over the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user!]

[Thunder Fruit, successfully included]

A pleasant mechanical prompt sounded in Luo Chuan's ears.

Listening alone wasn't enough; Luo Chuan focused his mind on the small dark room and brought up the editor panel.

As Luo Chuan looked at the mark representing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit that had been added to the Devil Fruit's inventory, the smile on his lips widened.

Even the corners of the mouth of the external entity were wide open, grinning from ear to ear.

After all, this is the strongest natural type!

Even among the Logia-type Devil Fruits, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is among the top-tier!

It combines extreme speed and supreme strength, enough to make an ordinary person rise to the top and become a first-class powerhouse!

It can be said that no matter how many fruits are collected later, the Thunder Fruit is the source of Luo Chuan's confidence in standing firm in this vast sea.

With this ability, he was certain of his position as the first mate of the Rocks Cruiser.

One can even catch a glimpse of the captain's treasure...

Just as Luo Chuan's ambitions were growing, a gaze from Lockes jolted him back to his senses.
