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

However, Junzi was too shocked by the loss of control over his abilities at the time, and coupled with the darkness, he did not notice.

Later, after she was tied up and her eyes were covered with bandages, she had even less chance to see clearly.

"Because Richard's despicable nature is just as bad as that man's..."

Yes!

That must be it!

Just as Junzi was pondering, a large hand embraced her slender waist.

Junzi suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the man in front of him with shock and anger in his eyes.

"What...what do you want to do now?" Junzi cried out, her voice hoarse.

“You’re covered in sweat, it won’t be comfortable for you to sleep like this. Let me take you to wash up,” Luo Chuan said with a smile.

"No...no need..." The soldier struggled to escape.

There's no need for formalities between us.

Without saying a word, Luo Chuan picked up the exhausted Junzi and carried him to the mansion's luxurious bathtub.

A misty fog rose, and Luochuan, under the cover of the water vapor, regained its true form.

The second battle begins!!!

……

evening.

Luo Chuan carried the maid-dressed soldier back to the bedroom.

The messy room had already been cleaned up by the maids.

"Little Junzi, how does it feel to become a woman?"

“Not very good…” Junzi said stubbornly.

Luo Chuan kissed the corner of her eye, tasting the tears that welled up from her humiliation.

"It smells like a lie. You're not being honest at all, little Jun."

Just as Luo Chuan was preparing to enter the third round and properly teach Junzi a lesson for his stubbornness, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

"Lord Richard"

"What's wrong?" Luo Chuan frowned in displeasure.

"It's an order from Lord Five Elders, summoning you to Pangu City!" the maid said tremblingly outside the door.

"Understood!" Luo Chuan calmly replied, then turned over and got up.

The maid-dressed soldier, who had been prepared, opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at Luo Chuan with a complicated expression, saying, "What do the Five Elders want with you?"

"I don't know." Luo Chuan shrugged. "Maybe they're judging me, or maybe they want to invite me to join the Knights of God."

Junzi gazed at Luo Chuan's retreating figure, lost in deep thought.

In this world, the strong always have privileges.

Even among the Celestial Dragons, there is a difference in status between the strong and the weak.

With the strength that Luo Chuan has shown, he certainly has the qualifications to become a knight of the gods.

If he were to be promoted to a Knight of God and become her colleague... Junzi was in a state of utter confusion, completely unsure how to face this man in the future.

Just then, Luo Chuan strode up to her, grabbed her chin with his large hand, and leaned down to give her a deep kiss on the lips.

"I will come back to find you!"

……

When Luo Chuan arrived at the mansion's main hall, all the slaves wearing explosive collars knelt down in unison.

“You have done very well during this period, so I have decided to reward you.”

As Luo Chuan spoke, he tossed the key to the explosive collar to a maid named Liu Lichuan.

"Get ready. Whether you live or die, go to heaven or hell, it all depends on whether you can seize this last chance!"

After saying this, Luo Chuan strode out the door.

Night had not yet fallen, but the sky was already dark.

A storm is brewing, and the wind is howling.

Luo Chuan turned his head, looked at the Celestial Dragon's mansion next door, and nodded.

Lockes nodded knowingly, indicating that he understood.

The wind howled.

Luo Chuan walked on the road leading to Pangu City.

The streets were deserted; not a single person could be seen.

But Luo Chuan could sense the malice lurking in the shadows.

As he walked to the middle of the street, his lurking malice finally became undisguised.

Whoosh~

Large numbers of slave warriors and dragon guards poured out from the buildings on both sides of the street, completely surrounding the entire street.

"You bastard Richard, you're dead today!"

Further away, members of various Tianlong families used megaphones to shout messages across the distance.

This time, they were smarter and, fearing something might happen, they no longer went into battle themselves.

"A bastard like you dares to dream of becoming a Knight of God? What a delusional fantasy!"

"Want to see the Five Elders? You'll have to get past us first!"

"This time, I will absolutely not give you another chance!"

"Aton for my dead brothers!"

Luo Chuan understood; this must be the final test to become a knight of the gods.

The Five Elders not only notified him, but also informed all the families in the Holy Land, telling them that this would be their last chance.

If Luo Chuan dies here, it only means that his cultivation is insufficient and he failed the test, so he is not qualified to join the Knights of the Gods.

Conversely, if Luo Chuan manages to fight his way out and successfully breaks through to Pangu City, all his past sins can be wiped clean.

"Then let's slaughter them until the blood flows like a river!" Luo Chuan drew his sword and fearlessly faced the suicide squad formed by the Celestial Dragons Alliance.

Boom!

Boom boom boom!

Terrifying roars rang out one after another.

A rain fell from the sky, a rain of blood.

The Heavenly Dragon Death Squad, composed of slaves and guards, was repeatedly blasted into the sky by Luo Chuan, their limbs and bodies scattered across the land.

With each swing of the blade, blood splattered everywhere, staining the ground a deep crimson.

Luo Chuan was bathed in the blood of his enemies, like a demon god from hell, ruling over slaughter and death.

噝~

Ta-da!

Seeing Luo Chuan's imposing figure, the various Tianlong members of the various families, who had come with hearts full of anger and hatred, were all horrified.

"Was that... really a person?"

"How...how can he be so strong?"

"This...is not scientific at all!"

The Tianlong people all shook their heads repeatedly.

Not only were the ordinary Celestial Dragons terrified, but at this moment, even the Knights of God who had come to watch the show from the shadows were shocked.

"That guy from the Markus family... he... he's so strong!!!" The goddess knight of the Thatcher family gaped in astonishment.

"What a joke! Wasn't he already a cripple?" Xie Pode's divine rider, Somaz, shouted in disbelief, his voice almost cracking.

"Could it be that all these years he's been playing dumb, appearing decadent on the surface while secretly training and cultivating himself?" Manmaiyaglau frowned.

This was the only possibility he could think of!

If someone who has been idle for many years suddenly becomes so powerful, it must be because they have been working hard in ways that others cannot see!

Given his past aptitude and thirty years of continuous cultivation, it's only natural that he possesses this level of strength!

“It seems our Knights of God are indeed going to have one more.” Figarandgarin raised an eyebrow.

In the short time it took for the blood and gore to subside, Luo Chuan had already cut through the Celestial Dragons' elite assassins and strode into Pangu City, leaving a trail of blood.

boom!

The doors to the chamber of power were violently pushed open.

"I heard you're looking for me?" Luo Chuan strode in, stepping through the bloody footprints.

"Kid, didn't anyone teach you to knock before entering a room?" Satan, one of the Five Elders of Saturn, frowned, deliberately picking a fight.

"Is this how you come to see us? Go back and change your clothes before you come back!" Pitt, one of the Five Elders of Jupiter, scolded.

"Isn't this the result you wanted?" Luo Chuan shrugged.

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders of Venus and the others all frowned.

These days, they've noticed that Richard is getting more and more arrogant and disdainful of everyone.

Now, they don't even care about them anymore.

"That's enough. Now that things have come to this, there's no need to say anything more. He has passed the final test," said Vochuli, one of the Five Elders of Mercury.

Satan, Pitt, and Nassullan, the three of the Five Elders, gritted their teeth, deeply unwilling to recommend Richard as the Knight of God.

However, as the Five Elders of Mercury said, these were all agreed upon beforehand, and there was no room for reneging.

"Ahem, Richard, come with us."

Mars, one of the five elders, coughed lightly, barely managing to suppress a smile.

At this moment, he was the only one among the Five Elders who was overjoyed.

After all these years, someone from the Markars family has finally become a God Knight.

It should be noted that for many years, among the Celestial Dragon families of the Five Elders, only the Markus family had no members selected as God Knights.

This has always been a thorn in the side of the Five Elders of Mars, but now, thanks to Richard, the Marcus family is backing up.

With the strength he has shown so far, it is not impossible for him to compete for the position of captain of the next Knights of the Gods.

The five elders of Mars were overjoyed, their smiles even wider than AK's. Little did they know that soon, their joy would turn to sorrow.

Despite their reluctance, Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus, the three elders, still got up and walked ahead with Mars and Mercury to lead the way.

Before long, the Five Elders led Luo Chuan to a spacious hall.

More than 90 percent of the main hall was covered in darkness.

Only the throne at the very front received the sunlight.

That is... the Void Throne!!!

Eight hundred years ago, the twenty kings jointly established the World Government and made a pact that no one could sit on the Void Throne.

It was an unbearable period of vacancy, which ended with the death of the Twentieth King.

Since that time, for over eight hundred years, there has always been one person who sits on the throne and stands in the heavens.

Its name is Naronaim!
