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

The essence of the power of the mother brood fruit lies in its ability to nurture.

The Crimson Demons' Mother Nest Generals use their own ant nests to create new forms of beastmen by fusing readily available human and beast materials.

Even after being modified by the super editor, the Devil Fruit's ability is still essentially nurturing, but it is not a beastman fusion; rather, it leans towards cloning and growth.

By obtaining gene samples from others, clones of them can be created.

The more complete the gene sample and the longer the gestation period, the closer the final clone will be to the original.

In addition, the new Mother Nest Fruit still possesses the power of 'fusion'.

In short, it means that by fusing two different gene samples, a clone that possesses the genes of both individuals can be obtained.

In a sense, a fusion clone is equivalent to a child born from the gene samples of two people.

After gaining a deeper understanding of the abilities of the new Mother Nest Fruit, Luo Chuan was immediately excited and his mind was filled with wild ideas.

In later years, Miss Bakkin brought along Wilbur, the mentally challenged son of a landlord from who-knows-where, and claimed that he was Whitebeard's biological son.

How could such a defective product be worthy of the title of Old Bai's biological son? Luo Chuan was preparing to give Newgate a real 'biological son'.

And then there's the black man from the Rocks family, who inherited absolutely none of his parents' good looks or handsomeness...

The more Luo Chuan thought about it, the more he felt that this new ability had great potential.

In order to collect blood and hair samples from his companions in a reasonable manner, Luo Chuan thought of learning how to make life cards.

When making life cards for them, it would be normal to draw extra blood as a reserve.

……

A day later, Luo Chuan returned to the team.

"Hahaha, you've learned how to make a life card so quickly, you truly deserve to be my first mate," Rocks laughed.

"Haha, I've got a general idea, but I'll need to practice to see the specifics." Luo Chuan smiled, not making any promises he couldn't keep.

"Hehehehe, a Vivre Card? I don't have one yet. Give me one." Shiki the Golden Lion was the first to place an order.

“I’m the captain, I’ll go first.” Rocks immediately cut in line arrogantly. “I remember that making a Vivre Card requires something like hair or nails.”

As he spoke, Lockes plucked a few strands of hair from his head and handed them to Luo Chuan.

"In addition to the hair and nails, we also need to draw a little blood," Luo Chuan said.

"Blood? That can't be right. I heard someone say when I was in the Scarlet Devil that all you need are small things like hair." Shiki said suspiciously.

"This is a new technology!" Luo Chuan said without batting an eye.

"It's just drawing a little blood, right? If Luo Chuan wants it, then just give it to him. Shiki, why are you dawdling like this? Are you afraid of needles?" The young white-bearded Newgate glanced at the Golden Lion with disdain.

"Who...who's afraid?"

Squier immediately widened his eyes and rolled up his sleeves to show his determination.

"Come on, draw!"

"Row!"

Luo Chuan nodded, and then, as if by magic, pulled out a large syringe with a capacity of one liter from behind him. The sharp needle gleamed brightly in the sunlight.

"I rely on!"

Young Shiki immediately jumped up and soared into the sky, his eyes wide with astonishment.

Is this needle for human use?

Using such a huge syringe to draw blood, are you a vampire?!

Who would use a pound of blood to make a life card?

Not only was Shiki panicked, but even Rocks and Newgate's eyelids twitched.

“Newgate, you were so insistent, you come here.” Rocks gestured for him to come forward.

"No, no, no, you're the captain, you're the boss, you go first." The young white-bearded man waved his hands repeatedly.

Just as the group was at an impasse, the seaplane docked on the shore suddenly appeared.

Miss Bakin, dressed in a striking leopard-print nurse outfit, strode to a stop, finally striking a seductive pose with a small needle in her slender hand.

"Is there any patient who wants an injection?" Miss Bakkin asked with a smile.

"I me me!"

"Me too!"

Rocks and Shiki transformed into a gust of wind and immediately lined up in front of Miss Baggins's medical van, revealing their arms.

Compared to the large syringe of the rough-looking Luo Chuan, Miss Ba Jin's small needle in her leopard-print nurse outfit is much cuter.

Miss Bakkin didn't look at them, but at the young white-bearded man.

Newgate snorted twice, ignoring her, and walked up to Luo Chuan, extending his arm.

"Good brother!!!" Luo Chuan patted Newgate on the shoulder with emotion.

Despite being moved, the necessary blood samples still needed to be collected.

A large needle was inserted into Newgate's vein, and a full tube was drawn out. The young white-bearded man didn't utter a sound, but when Luo Chuan casually plucked a handful of his smooth, long golden hair, Newgate immediately became unhappy.

"You can draw blood, but why are you pulling my hair?"

"I understand, it's needed to make life cards," Luo Chuan said with a smile, then added quietly at the end, "If you don't take advantage of it now, you won't be able to later when you become bald."

"You'll become bald, your whole family will be bald!" The young white-bearded man grew increasingly displeased upon hearing Luo Chuan's rambling.

How could his beautiful blond hair have fallen out completely?

Luo Chuan patted Newgate on the shoulder and said, "You always have to lose something on the road to becoming stronger. Although you will become bald in the future, you will also become stronger."

Fifty years later, Whitebeard's title as the world's strongest man is not just empty talk.

Newgate: "..."

Just as things were finishing up in Luochuan, on the other side, Miss Bakkin also completed the blood collection work from Rocks and Shiki.

Because they were dazzled by the cute leopard-print nurse, the two did not notice that the amount of blood Miss Bakin drew into the blood bag was no less than that in Luo Chuan's syringe.

In-cabin medical room.

"Miss Bakkin, thank you so much for collecting these for me," Luo Chuan said, expressing his gratitude.

"Hmm, I will naturally complete the first mate's mission." Miss Bakkin smiled slightly. "However, I am still very curious about what the first mate intends to do by collecting everyone's blood samples?"

“I already said, make life cards,” Luo Chuan said calmly.

“The life card can’t be used with blood.” Miss Baggins shook her head.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, staring at each other.

After a moment, Miss Baggins smiled and said, "I used to be Frankenstein's assistant in the Red Devil Pirates, so I have some knowledge of biological science. If the first mate needs an assistant, I am happy to help. Also, here is my blood sample."

Although Miss Bakkin didn't know what Luo Chuan wanted everyone's blood for, her woman's intuition told her that Luo Chuan might be doing some kind of 'experiment'.

"Yes, I will. If I need anything, I will definitely consider you." Luo Chuan nodded earnestly.

Luo Chuan, carrying a fishy smell, said it was difficult to explain. He revealed that he had a separate studio.

With a thought, a portion of Lox's blood gene sample disappeared, and cloning was initiated in the editor's dark room.

By paying just a little reputation points, you can have your baby nurtured in the Dark Room, a feature recently discovered in Luochuan.

Next, Luo Chuan began the cloning process on the blood samples of Golden Lion and Newgate respectively.

As for Miss Baggins, Vegapol later created her clone, Stussy. But since she gave it to him, it wouldn't hurt to clone her as well.

With individual cloning complete, the next step is the fusion cloning phase.

Luo Chuan fused the blood and gene samples of Lox and Newgate to create their 'child'.

Since this was the first attempt, Luo Chuan wanted to see how things went first, so he decided to only do this one case for the time being.

"Now let's just wait for the cocoon to emerge."

……

Two days later, the life cards for all members were completed.

Rocks and the others, who had received their respective Vivre Cards, only admired them for a short while.

After exchanging their Vivre Cards, the first meeting of the Locusts F was held.

At the meeting, the five agreed on the general outline of their actions for the coming period.

Both Shiki and Miss Bakkin, former executives of the Red Devils, stated that the Red Devils had been operating in the music industry for decades, wielding immense power and possessing a complex web of relationships.

With Redbeard's downfall and the Octopus Island headquarters destroyed, the other branches are now undoubtedly in chaos as well.

Those chunks of fat, they won't eat, others will.

Therefore, their next move will revolve around the remnants of the Red Devils and seizing Redbeard's legacy.

Luo Chuan didn't care about whether or not there was an inheritance; what he cared about was whether there was a possibility of gaining reputation points during the process.

As it turns out, the plan is quite feasible.

On his way to seize the Scarlet Devil's legacy, Luo Chuan also rescued the island's residents who were oppressed by the Scarlet Devil and its allies, and won their support.

Over the next six months, Luo Chuan and the Rocks Group continuously eliminated remnants of the Red Devil Group, and also clashed with a government intelligence organization that was also vying for the inheritance, achieving a resounding victory...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was the year 1487 of the Haiyuan calendar.

As winter turned to spring, Luochuan received a phone call that day.

"Boss, when are Haiqiu and the others coming back?"

……

Chapter 67 Lox's Fury! (The last line appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)

boss!

Haiqiu

Hearing the unfamiliar voice coming from the other end of the phone, Luo Chuan paused for a moment before realizing that the current number of members in the Rocks Group was not five, but seven.

"Boss Luo Chuan, you haven't forgotten about us, have you?" Seeing that Luo Chuan hadn't responded for a long time, Boss Black Bear couldn't help but guess.

"Haha, how could I... I've always remembered that." Luo Chuan chuckled.

“Boss, we’ve been helping Mr. Tom these past few months, building the ship together. We haven’t been slacking off at all, and I’ve even lost several pounds.” Xiong Er’s voice came immediately.

"You've worked hard." Luo Chuan offered words of encouragement.

"The interior design is complete, and necessities such as refrigerators and kitchenware are all prepared. All that's left is for you guys to finalize the decorating style for your rooms..."

The Black Bear Boss relayed Tom's words verbatim.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Mr. Tom would like to ask you when the launching ceremony will take place?"

After ending the call, Luo Chuan returned to the banquet venue.

"It's been so long since you started letting the water out. Luo Chuan, both of your toilet signs are now useless."

As he spoke, Lockes confiscated the two cards in front of Luo Chuan [8].

At this very moment, the Rocks Group is playing a drinking game invented by Luo Chuan, called Pirate Cards.

Arriving at the seaside, I've performed hundreds of shows.

Luo Chuan felt that drinking alone at the banquet was really boring, and playing drinking games all the time would also get tiring.

So he brought the drinking games from his previous life to this place.

Pirate cards have simple rules: a deck of cards, from Ace to King, each with a special function.

Two of them are pirate cards, meaning that if someone is drinking, they must drink with them.

Number 8 is a toilet sign, which allows you to log off and escape to the bathroom, and so on...

Luo Chuan had played this game a lot in his previous life and didn't think much of it, but Lox and the others, who had only recently started playing, clearly enjoyed it very much and had already played it for two days and two nights.

Furthermore, they seemed to have a slightly different understanding of the game rules, and they were all vying to get '2', taking pride in being the pirate who kept drinking.

"It's your turn, it's your turn," Newgate urged.
