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

Just as she was about to enjoy it, her hand suddenly went empty; the ice cream had vanished.

The little girl's lips twitched, and she was about to burst into tears.

Shh!

Luo Chuan held up the cotton candy and made a shushing gesture.

"Kid, tell me, which family are you from? If you answer well, I'll give this back to you."

“I’m from the Manmaia family…” The little girl stared intently at the ice cream.

“That’s a good answer.” Luo Chuan nodded.

Just when the little girl thought she could get her ice cream back, Luo Chuan opened his mouth and took a bite, leaving only a little bit of the cone shell before giving it back to the little girl.

Looking at the last remaining ice cream cone fragments in her hand, the Celestial Dragon girl from the Manmaia family finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Hahaha," Luo Chuan laughed loudly, striding with an air of indifference towards his family, searching for his next victim.

Meanwhile, Locus, who had split up with Luo Chuan, acted even more recklessly.

Boom!

The slide meant for young children collapsed on the spot when Rocks in his cube form sat on it, and the cries of the Celestial Dragon children rose and fell.

Rocks made a face at the crying little devils and then went to the children's water park.

Click!

The diving board, intended for the children to use, broke after Lockes stepped on it.

The cube-shaped Rocks crashed into the water, splashing up a huge spray that sent the children in and on the shore tumbling over.

In an instant, cries and screams rose and fell once again.

The commotion at the children's playground inevitably alarmed the parents in the social square.

However, by the time they arrived, Luo Chuan and Lockes had already left, their achievements hidden from view.

The arrogant and domineering nature of the Celestial Dragons is cultivated from childhood.

Therefore, Luo Chuan decided to make this generation of Celestial Dragon brats feel the fear of being dominated.

The next day, Rocks and the two brothers returned to the children's amusement park.

The Celestial Dragons and their minions, upon seeing them, all ran away as if they had seen a ghost, not daring to approach.

However, Luo Chuan and his companion directly occupied the park's food area, setting up a barter system.

A small yellow croaker, a gemstone... can be exchanged for an ice cream. You might lose money or get ripped off.

Suffering a loss is a blessing in disguise, so you should eat more.

How can you learn from a mistake?

At first, some of the older Celestial Dragon children questioned and stubbornly tried to resist.

After the leader was hung from a tree and beaten by Luo Chuan, the other children were terrified and obediently paid their 'protection fees'.

For several days in a row, Luo Chuan and Lockes made a fortune.

In principle, bullying underage children is a bad behavior.

However, if the Celestial Dragon is a minor, the principle is that concessions can be made.

If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

On the fourth day of their protection fee business, Luo Chuan and Locke were ambushed by parents who had come prepared.

"Oh, so it was you two who've been bullying my child!"

"I was wondering why our family's treasures had mysteriously disappeared recently. Turns out, you were threatening my child to pay protection money with the treasures!"

"The Marcus family, and the Babette family, you're all getting more and more out of touch with reality! You're all grown up, yet you're still bullying children!"

The Tianlong family elders were all filled with righteous indignation and repeatedly rebuked them.

Luo Chuan and Lockes continued picking their ears without paying any attention, seemingly unfazed.

"You two cowards, all you do is bully kids. If you're so tough, why don't you try bullying us?"

"Okay!"

Luo Chuan responded, drew the golden gun he had confiscated from some unknown child, and pointed the muzzle at the speaker's forehead.

"Now, hand over all your treasures, or I'll smash your head open!"

Gudong~

The Celestial Dragon's Adam's apple bobbed laboriously as a musket was pointed at him.

"I...I don't believe you dare..."

boom!

A gunshot rang out, taking away half of his ear, and blood gushed out instantly.

"what"

"Ahhh"

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

The previously aggressive parents are now all retreating in fear.

The Celestial Dragon, whose ear had been knocked off, collapsed to the ground, too terrified to even scream.

Luo Chuan and Lockes exchanged a glance and laughed, then swaggered away with their spoils.

……

Pangu City, the chamber of power.

Five of the world's most powerful figures gathered once again, their aged faces displaying complex expressions.

In fact, the Five Elders knew all about what 'Marcus Richard' had been doing these past few days.

At first, he was just playing around with the children, and they turned a blind eye out of respect for the Five Elders of Mars.

However, now that things have escalated to the point of bloodshed, with Celestial Dragons openly using guns to injure other Celestial Dragons, this is no longer a trivial matter that can be ignored.

“Marcus, you’re not going to try to use the excuse that your child was stressed and traumatized in Sambaud again, are you? I see that brat from your Marcus family is in pretty good spirits lately.” Pitt, one of the Five Elders of Jupiter, had a grim expression.

The descendants of the Xie Pode family also suffered bullying from Luo Chuan.

"It's not just good, it's downright unbridled. What does he think this place is? If it were the lower realm, he could do whatever he wants, but this is a sacred place." Venus Five Elders Nassuro gritted his teeth.

Children in the Izanbaron family were also bullied by Lochuan and Rocks.

"Furthermore, if I remember correctly, he didn't abide by the seven-day confinement order given to the younger generation of your family. He only behaved himself for three days before causing trouble again." Satan, one of the Five Elders of Saturn, narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So what do you want to do? Get the Knights of God involved?" The Five Elders of Mars were truly at a loss.

"This is a joint letter from the families whose lives have been ruined by your younger generation. They do not want the Knights of God to get involved..." The Five Elders of Mercury presented a letter.

"Oh?" The Five Elders of Mars were somewhat surprised.

"I haven't finished yet. They don't want the Knights of God to take action. Instead, they want to fight fire with fire and deal with them themselves," the Five Elders of Mercury added.

The five elders of Mars unfolded the joint letter, their brows furrowing deeply.

“We have agreed to the joint action of the various families,” said the Five Elders of Venus.

“Of course, we’re not giving him absolutely no chance…” the Five Elders of Jupiter began. “We’ve limited the scope of our attack. His residence is a safe zone; as long as he doesn’t leave, he won’t be attacked.”

"I understand." The Five Elders of Mars nodded.

He knew that this was a fait accompli and could not be changed.

Designating the mansion area as a safe zone was already a result of giving him face.

If Richard simply stays in the mansion and behaves himself, the matter will pass in a few years.

This is a form of imprisonment.

……

That night.

Luo Chuan took a nice bath and prepared to go back to her room to plan tomorrow's actions.

The bullying of the Celestial Dragons' brats has temporarily come to an end; now we can turn our attention to the younger generation.

How do you deliberately pick a fight?

Luo Chuan pondered as he approached the door, then suddenly paused.

Even through the door, he could feel the powerful aura emanating from the room.

The Five Elders?!

Luo Chuan remained calm and pushed open the door.

The room's balcony has floor-to-ceiling windows that are wide open.

Wearing a blue suit, the five elders of Mars, with white hair and a beard reaching their waists, turned around and looked at Richard with a deep gaze.

"Old man, what brings you here today?" Luo Chuan put on a nonchalant act, but inwardly he was on high alert.

From the deceased butler, Luo Chuan learned that the Celestial Dragon Richard was once the pride of the Markus family and was highly regarded by the Five Elders of Mars.

However, ever since Richard fell into depravity due to his elopement, the Five Elders of Mars have abandoned him, and they have only seen him a few times over the years.

Luo Chuan wasn't sure if the Five Elders of Mars could tell he was an imposter from his daily habits, so he simply didn't do anything.

"Don't you know what you've been doing lately?" asked the Five Elders of Mars.

"I just didn't want to put up with it anymore!" Luo Chuan completely put himself in the shoes of 'Celestial Dragon Richard'.

Because of her elopement, she became a laughingstock in the holy land, enduring humiliation for so many years...

"What exactly changed you?" asked the Five Elders of Mars.

Luo Chuan was startled and carefully chose his words: "That day, after encountering Rocks and Thor Luo Chuan, and walking on the edge of death in hell, I understood that only power is everything..."

“Very good.” A look of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the Five Elders of Mars. “Richard, you’ve finally woken up. You should have woken up a long time ago.”

Swish!

The five elders of Mars casually tossed out the joint letter.

"This is..." Luo Chuan took it, and his pupils constricted slightly when he saw the contents of the letter.

"This is a joint retaliatory operation launched against you by the ten Celestial Dragon families. Starting tomorrow, the mansion will be your only safe haven in the Holy Land. Once you step outside this area, you will be assassinated by them. But as long as you stay in the mansion, you will be safe. The choice is yours..."

At this point, the Five Elders of Mars paused for a moment, then continued, "If you can withstand the combined attack of the major families, I will recommend you to that lord again to become a member of the Knights of God!"

After saying this, the Five Elders of Mars transformed into the bird-snake monster Itsumade, bringing with them a raging storm, and disappeared into the depths of the night sky.

Once he was certain that the Five Elders of Mars had gone far away, Luo Chuan's solemn expression turned into an icy smile, the curve of his lips gradually widening.

"Battle Royale in the Holy Land? Interesting! Absolutely fascinating!"

……

At the same time.

The Babette mansion next door.

As a member of Richard's faction, the cube-shaped Celestial Dragon Rocks also received a notice about the 'Battle Royale' event.

Like Luo Chuan, the corners of Locke's mouth were even harder to suppress than AK's at this moment.

They were just wondering how to find fault with each other.

Now, they're practically delivering themselves right to our doorstep!

What else is there to say?

Kill them!

……

The next day, early morning.

Luo Chuan opened the gate of the mansion and took a step out.

boom!
