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

Pangu City, the Void Throne.

A figure shrouded in demonic energy sat atop a jade throne in the heavens.

A beam of sunlight descended from the sky, striking him and casting a long, narrow shadow, making him look like a rogue boss.

"Lord Im!!!"

The five publicly recognized highest-ranking officials in the world knelt in unison on one knee, their right fists clenched and placed against their chests, offering the highest level of respect to the man on the throne.

despair!

blah blah blah!

Footsteps echoed in the deathly silent, empty hall.

The Five Elders, who were bowing and kneeling in worship, noticed that a pair of feet had appeared in their line of sight.

The five elders were stunned at first, but the next second, after realizing whose feet they were, their eyes widened in unison, and they realized what was going on.

While the Five Elders all knelt and bowed to the most esteemed Lord Im, Richard did not kneel.

Not only did he not kneel, but he even walked in front of them as if he were strolling leisurely.

Thus, at first glance, someone unfamiliar with the situation might mistake them for the five of them kneeling before Luo Chuan.

"How dare you!!!"

Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and Saturn felt boundless anger and shock.

It wasn't just because Luo Chuan walked up to them, who were kneeling, and took advantage of them.

Furthermore, it was because he dared to act presumptuously in this sacred Void Palace, before the world king, Lord Im.

"Richard, what are you doing? Kneel down right now!" Marcus Mars, one of the Five Elders of Mars, shouted sternly.

At this moment, even he couldn't laugh, he couldn't be happy at all, and he was covered in a cold sweat.

He had thought that even if Richard was arrogant, he would restrain himself in front of Lord Im.

Unexpectedly, his arrogance wasn't based on favoritism, but rather on treating everyone equally.

What's going on with this guy?

Clearly, it's all in the past... Yes, it's in the past...

The Five Elders of Mars recalled Richard the Celestial Dragon of the past, and compared to him now, they were like two completely different people.

And with that unparalleled strength, is the person in front of him really the junior member of the family he knows?

The idea had barely formed in the minds of the Five Elders of Mars when it was immediately rejected.

After all, if this conjecture comes true, it would be truly terrifying.

He didn't dare to think about that possibility any further!

"Marcus Richard, do you know what you're doing? Lord Im is right in front of you, so don't be so presumptuous!"

Seeing that Luo Chuan still showed no intention of kneeling, Nassuro, one of the Five Elders of Venus, couldn't help but rebuke him.

“Before Lord Im, you lowly ant, if you do not kneel down, your road will end here, and your life will surely come to an end.”

Saturn's five elders, Satan, roared with a fierce and decisive voice.

Luo Chuan ignored the threats from the Five Elders, letting them go in one ear and out the other, and was not bothered by them at all.

At this moment, he shifted his gaze from Im on the throne to the 'armory' below.

Heavenly Punishment Sword, Wrath Sword, Vengeful Demon Sword, Void Sword, Chaos Sword, Sea God Sword, Holy Life Spear, Xing Tian Axe...

The legendary weapons of the twenty kings from eight hundred years ago are displayed on both sides, still as good as new after eight hundred years.

These are truly divine artifacts!!!

Imagine Luffy, one of the Four Emperors, fifty years later, transforming into his strongest Gear 5 Sun God Nikka form, only to be easily defeated and left on the verge of death by Im, who wields a divine weapon.

If we can seize these weapons, will Im's strength be greatly reduced?

Luo Chuan couldn't help but wonder about the feasibility of this plan.

"Why do you not kneel before Im!" Finally, Im spoke from the Void Throne.

Those sharp eyes, identical to those of the Rinnegan from the next world, were fixed on Luo Chuan, and thus perceived his fearlessness and dauntlessness.

This was extremely rare for Im; few people in the past eight hundred years had been able to face him so calmly.

"Because I'm not afraid!" Luo Chuan said calmly.

"Why aren't you afraid?" Im asked again.

"I'm not afraid, that's all!" Luo Chuan shook his head.

The conversation between the two made the Five Elders nearby forget to breathe.

The five elders of Mars, in particular, felt their breathing stop and their hearts nearly leap into their throats.

Throughout the past eight hundred years, no Celestial Dragon has ever dared to speak to Lord Im in such a manner; this is truly unprecedented.

Im's expression shifted slightly, as if he too was showing some interest in this novel experience.

He was eager to know where Luo Chuan's confidence came from.

Before he could ask any more questions, Luo Chuan spoke first, saying, "I also have a question."

Im: "Ask!"

Luo Chuan smiled slightly and said, "You also have one head and two arms, no more than others with two heads and four arms. What makes you think you can sit so high?"

Upon hearing this, the vast Void Palace fell into a deathly silence, and the expressions on the faces of the Five Elders were all stunned.

The next second, what followed was an overwhelming and undisguised rage.

"presumptuous!!!"

"How dare you!!!"

Even the five most powerful figures in the world, including the Five Elders of Mars, could not contain their rage.

They couldn't understand the pun in Luo Chuan's words, but they could hear the great disrespect in them.

This kid is really determined to take his arrogance to the extreme!

He has already found a way to die!

"Lord Im is the king of this world, without equal throughout history!" Pitt, one of the Five Elders of Jupiter, roared angrily.

"Gods are born superior to humans. You brat, don't you even understand such a principle?" the Five Elders of Mercury roared.

Luo Chuan calmly swept his gaze across the scene, then asked Zheng Quan about the tangerines.

"No one is born into the heavens, not even a god!"

"Ahhh"

Marcus Mars, one of the Five Elders of Mars, was driven to complete madness by the torture.

"Richard, you have dared to spout such nonsense in front of Lord Im time and time again. You are courting death. Today, I will cleanse your family. The Marcus family has no traitors like you!"

Chaos~

The next second, he swayed and transformed, his body swelling violently in the wind, turning into a huge monster with both a bird's head and a snake's body.

The Zoan-type Bird Fruit is a Mythical Beast, Itsumade's form!

"die!!!"

The Five Elders of Mars, transformed into bird-snake monsters, extended their sharp claws, attempting to lift Luo Chuan's skull.

Just then, a deafening roar was heard, and the ceiling of the Void Palace was shattered.

Awooo!

Endless lightning flashed as a thunderous unicorn, entirely constructed of lightning, roared across the land.

"what!!!"

……

……

Night falls, and the silkworms stand in the shadows.

First Avenue, Mary Geoise.

Crimson blood gushed forth, and severed limbs and broken arms could be seen everywhere along the roadside.

This terrifying scene was like a hellish battlefield.

Fifteen minutes had passed since the battle ended, and the entire street remained eerily silent.

The members of all the major families were terrified by Luo Chuan's blood hell-like figure, and were unable to recover for a long time.

despair!

blah blah blah!

Just then, footsteps broke the silence on the empty street.

The people of Tianlong were all startled and looked in the direction of the sound. By the dim moonlight, they could vaguely make out the appearance of the person who came.

It was a cube, 160 cm tall and 160 kg in weight, its round shape giving it a comical appearance.

"It's him!"

"That fat bastard from the Babette family!"

"That guy who's been hanging out with that bastard Richard these days!"

"That fat pig in the Babette family is still alive..."

Seeing the Cube Rocks swaggering towards them, the Celestial Dragons' faces, already showing signs of defeat, were now filled with renewed anger.

If I can't handle Richard, surely I can handle you, you fatso!

This is a torture device, a tomb meal, a southern imperial edict.

"Guards...all those who are still alive, come here!"

"Go, bring me that fat, dead pig's head!"

The Celestial Dragons, their faces contorted with savagery and cruelty, coldly issued their orders.

"Yes!!!"

The Dragon Guards who had survived obeyed the order and surrounded the cube-shaped Lox.

Unlike their previous tension when facing Luo Chuan, the Tianlong Guards who received this mission all looked relaxed.

In their eyes, what threat could a cube of flesh pose to them?

"We must finish this quickly; we absolutely cannot afford any more mistakes this time!" a captain of the Heavenly Dragon Guard said.

"Let me do it!" Another team leader volunteered, stepping forward with a fierce look, eager to make a name for himself.

The next instant, with a tearing sound, the guard captain's body was suddenly torn to pieces, his limbs flying everywhere.

This sudden sight shocked all the guards.

Before they could react, a flash of light from a blade came into view.

puff!

puff puff!

In the blink of an eye, Cube Rocks burst out from the crowd, with heads rolling down behind him.

Fresh blood gushed from the skulls of headless corpses, shooting up more than a meter high.

Demon God!

Another demon god!

The Celestial Dragons, gathered on the observation deck, were once again horrified to witness this scene.

"Are you... are you kidding me?!"

The Holy Knights, hidden in various places, were also shocked and even horrified.

"Hey, hey, hey... that fat guy... who is he? His swordsmanship just now... it felt even better than that bastard Richard's!" Shepard's Divine Knight Somaz shouted in a broken voice.
