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

Faced with the Celestial Dragon Richard's attack, Luo Chuan simply reached out his right hand and grabbed the sharp blade.

This strike, powerful enough to easily cleave metal and stone, was instantly immobilized the moment it was caught in Luo Chuan's hand; the sharp blade couldn't even pierce Luo Chuan's skin.

A teeth-grinding cracking sound rang out, and Celestial Dragon Richard's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with visible shock.

The knife in his hand was of comparable quality to a great sword, yet Luo Chuan crushed it in his hand. What kind of terrifying monster was this?

Just as the Celestial Dragon Richard was momentarily stunned, Luo Chuan's hand completely gripped and crushed the blade.

The next second, Luo Chuan's hand shot out again, as fast as lightning, and grabbed the Celestial Dragon's neck, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

Snapped!

The bubble shield on his head burst open, and as his neck tightened, his face turned a liverish color due to lack of oxygen.

"Uncle, don't underestimate me!" Luo Chuan raised his left hand and patted his face.

"Luo Chuan, it's rare to find such an interesting toy, so don't play with it to death too easily," Lockes said.

"How do you want to play?" Luo Chuan turned around and looked at him.

After a moment of contemplation, Rocks said, "How about we do it the same way as last time, with a live-streamed public execution? This time, let Shiki and the others participate too."

“It sounds good, but… the same trick won’t be new the second time.” Luo Chuan shook his head.

"So what good ideas do you have?" Locke asked.

Luo Chuan smiled, the corners of his mouth widening, and said, "Captain, would you like to go to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise again, the kind that's perfectly aboveboard?"

"Oh?" Rocks' eyes lit up immediately.

This is way more fun than publicly executing the Celestial Dragons!!!

……

blah blah blah!

Countless footsteps came from all directions, surrounding the entire commercial street.

Commodore Sengoku led a strike team and was the first to break in.

Looking at the scene on the commercial street, Sengoku's pupils contracted in surprise.

“They’re not dead, they’re probably just stunned by Conqueror’s Haki!” Colonel Tsuru, with her high ponytail, said.

Soon, the naval forces that had been on guard outside the area were fully stationed in the commercial district, guarding all the key roads and keeping watch against threats from all sides.

"found it!"

"The Celestial Dragon Richard Saint is here!"

"Thank God, Lord Richard Saint... is still alive!"

Several sailors shouted excitedly and carried the pale-faced Celestial Dragon Richard out of the alley.

This discovery brought tears to the eyes of the awakened government lackeys and the Dragon Guard, who were caught in a compromising situation.

As the Celestial Dragon Richard's attendants, if something happens to their master and they are still alive, they will face the cruelest punishment.

If they are accused of being unfavorable to their master, they deserve to die ten times over.

"What's going on? This doesn't seem like that man's style." Colonel He frowned.

In their prior predictions, encountering the two menacing figures, Rocks and Luo Chuan, would likely have left the Celestial Dragon Richard with little chance of survival.

Therefore, the generals who landed in Sabaody first, after visiting the commercial district, have now headed towards Sabaody Amusement Park.

“Killing a Celestial Dragon at this critical juncture would not benefit Rocks and his group in the slightest. They probably don’t want any complications before the coating is complete,” Sengoku speculated.

"Perhaps." Colonel Tsuru frowned, still harboring doubts.

At this very moment.

Chambord Park.

"Hehehe, Zhanbo!!!"

Shiki wielded two Great Grade Swords, Sakuraju and Mokuku, and unleashed powerful slashes at the Griffin-form General.

"Humph!"

Griffin General snorted coldly, his figure moving as fast as a shooting star, drawing a Z-shape in the sky to avoid the heavy blows. The eagle's sharp talons mercilessly grabbed at Shiki's chest.

Whoosh!

Boom!

Even though the young Shiki managed to parry with his sword in time, he was still struck down by the Griffin General, crashing heavily onto the mangrove ground and shattering it into pieces.

"Ahem, Navy, have you thought this through? Are you sure you want to go to war with the Rocks Regiment?" Shiki stood up, grinning, his smile gone.

His current strength is far from its peak; compared to a peak general, he is still quite a bit behind.

"This is a war you started. I'll ask you one more time, where exactly did you hide the Celestial Dragons?" Admiral Griffin said in a deep voice.

"This is ridiculous! Are you deliberately picking a fight?" Shiki gritted his teeth and looked at the distance. "Newgate, stop looking and beat him up."

"When you're no longer able to do anything, I'll make my move." The young man with the white beard smiled slyly.

Just then, the Griffin in the sky took out a telephone beetle, and after hearing his subordinate's report, he immediately left without looking back.

"Naval bastards, don't run away! If you've got the guts, fight me for another three hundred rounds!" Shiki yelled, trying to save face.

In the blink of an eye, the Griffin returned to the commercial street.

At the same time, Celestial Dragon Richard woke up from his coma and staggered to his feet.

"Navy, you're too slow. Are you just sitting around doing nothing?"

Richard Lorraine's blunt reprimand perfectly showcased the Celestial Dragons' arrogance and condescension.

“I’m so sorry, Richard Saint, but the Navy already informed you beforehand…” The hot-blooded Sengoku couldn’t help but speak up.

In this era, the young Warring States had not yet had their edges smoothed by power, and their hearts were still full of passion.

It was clearly Celestial Dragon Richard who ignored all advice and went his own way, yet now he's shifting the blame onto the Navy. Sengoku doesn't want to take the fall for this.

"Heh," Luo Chuan sneered, looking at his old acquaintance Zhan Guo with a mocking expression, "Aren't you accusing me?"

"It was originally..."

Before Sengoku could speak, Colonel Tsuru quickly stopped him, saying, "Sir Richard, Brigadier General Sengoku has no such intention. The most urgent matter is for us to escort you away from Sabaody. The villains could return at any time."

"You're quite sensible, little sister of the Navy." Luo Chuan took a few steps forward and teasingly pinched the chin of the future Navy Assistant Chief of Staff, Q Guangjie. "It's a real pity that a beauty like you stays in the Navy. Who knows when you'll die in battle? Why don't you come with me and go to the Holy Land to enjoy life?"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku, who was standing nearby, immediately blushed.

If Kotsuru really is taken away by the Celestial Dragons, he will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Just before the Warring States period spiraled out of control, General Griffin reached out and grabbed Luochuan's wrist.

“Richard Saint, the government and the Navy have an agreement that even if you are a Celestial Dragon, you have no right to take away my Navy officers.” Admiral Griffin spoke with restraint, barely suppressing his anger.

The next second, something happened that infuriated all the naval personnel present.

With a sharp crack, Luo Chuan slapped General Griffin across the face.

"Who do you think you are? A mere admiral, nothing more than a government watchdog, yet you dare to point fingers at me, a descendant of God."

……

Chapter 70: Setting a precedent and forcing the general to rebel!

Arrogant!

Extremely arrogant!

My heart is filled with longing, my words are faded and I am weary, yet I still feel a deep sense of peace and contentment. I am filled with hope and hope, my heart is filled with joy ...

That's not all. Luo Chuan also told the Navy that they were nothing more than watchdogs of the government.

This behavior perfectly showcases the arrogant and domineering nature of the world's aristocracy.

Even a real Celestial Dragon would be stunned if he were here.

After all, even the most powerful Celestial Dragons wouldn't dare to slap a general so casually.

As the highest combat force in the Navy, the Admiral still holds some sway even in front of the Five Elders.

But in Luochuan, even a general has no face to speak of.

Anyway, he's not a real Celestial Dragon, so what if he hits you?

If you're so capable, why don't you wake up? Just defect from the Navy!

It would be best to also join the government's arch-enemy team, such as the Rocks Group!

In that case, Luo Chuan would probably be laughing in his dreams.

Unfortunately, such a good thing can only be a dream.

The Navy's Griffin Admiral possessed extraordinary composure; even after being openly slapped by Luo Chuan and humiliated as a watchdog, he remained unfazed.

"You're really shameless. My hand hurts from hitting you. Come here, little beauty from the Navy, rub it for your brother." Luo Chuan further fueled the fire, continuing to tease the future Navy Chief of Staff while humiliating the admiral.

At this moment, Colonel He's delicate face was as cold as frost, and she was almost unable to suppress her anger.

She could tolerate Luo Chuan's flirting, but she couldn't tolerate her boss losing face in order to protect her.

Even the usually wise Colonel Tsuru was like this, let alone the hot-blooded young Sengoku.

At this moment, Sengoku was in an extremely hot state and was already itching to explode with Luo Chuan.

If he were to actually make a move today, the future of the Navy would no longer have Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

"Hey, you marine over there, what are you trying to do with that scary expression?"

The government lackey, dressed in a black suit, spotted the red-haired Sengoku and immediately reprimanded him.

"My Lord Richard has really suffered a terrible fate today. It's all because of your Navy's incompetence. My Lord Richard was provoked, so what's wrong with him scolding you a few times? Does your Navy really want to rebel?"

Richard, the cunning advisor, provided a convenient excuse for Luo Chuan's act of slapping the general with just a few words.

"We never intended to rebel, but please don't push your luck," the Griffin Admiral said quietly.

"Still dare to talk back?" Luo Chuan's eyes widened immediately. He pointed at the captain of the Heavenly Dragon Guard behind him, "Go, give him another slap."

"Alright!" Captain Lockes' face, hidden behind his mask, was filled with excitement and eagerness.

Cool!

This is so awesome!

Originally, he had some reservations about Luo Chuan's decision to make him, the captain, act as his bodyguard.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chuan still remembered him as the captain, allowing him to indulge in the pleasure of slapping the general.

Although this was not the first time he had slapped a general in the face, previous encounters were life-or-death battles, which were completely different from this one.

A dignified naval admiral was openly slapped in the face, yet dared not utter a word of anger or resentment.

If he found out that it wasn't the Celestial Dragons who actually hit him, but them... just thinking about it is exciting.

As Rocks transformed into the captain of the Celestial Dragon Guard, he grew increasingly excited and approached the solemn-looking Griffin Admiral, raising his right hand high.

"Stop it right now!!!"

The young Sengoku could no longer hold back. With red eyes, he stood in front of the general and took the slap for him.

boom!

Rocks didn't hold back this time, and Sengoku was immediately sent flying, crashing into a shop on the street.

General Griffin's expression grew increasingly solemn, and he exuded a terrifying aura.

Even the most composed person would not be able to withstand such repeated provocations.

Luo Chuan estimated that the time was right and that he might actually be able to force a naval admiral to rebel today.

If he can really do it, he will have set a precedent in history.

Thinking of this, Luo Chuan prepared to add fuel to the fire.

However, before he could speak, a 'poop stick' flew in from the horizon.

"Navy, I've been watching you for ages. Are you a ninja? How can you be so patient? That Dragon was practically shitting on your head that day, and you didn't utter a sound. And you call yourself a Navy Admiral? Are all the Navy cowards like you?" Shiki said sarcastically.
