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

"Damn it, another mermaid girl has disappeared!"

"Which bastard did this?!"

"That goes without saying, it must be those human sea monsters..."

The firelight flickered outside the window, a sign that the fish-men were anxiously searching for someone.

Luo Chuan frowned, looked at the mermaid girl beside him, and noticed that several familiar faces were missing.

After some inquiries, it was learned that they had also disappeared during the few days that Luo Chuan had been away.

"Is that so?" Luo Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

They actually dared to set their sights on the people he was protecting; he couldn't pretend he didn't know.

Radar Observation Haki instantly covered the entire island!

At this very moment.

A remote area north of Fishman Island, near Waterwheel Town.

A coated sea vessel was being rapidly inflated.

"Hurry, hurry, everyone speed up! Let's all work harder and finish this job, then we'll be rich! Because of the previous slave escape incident from the Holy Land, the human market is booming now, and prices are 30% higher than before. This ship full of fishmen and mermaids is enough for us to live comfortably for the rest of our lives!"

Upon hearing this, the poachers became incredibly excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

Chi Chi!

Just then, a flash of lightning appeared in the pitch-black night.

"Found you!" Luo Chuan transformed into his elemental form, flashing to the sea.

"Who goes there?" The poaching gang captain was the first to become alert and looked up abruptly.

Upon seeing Luo Chuan on the mast, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face involuntarily showed extreme shock, horror, and disbelief.

"You...you...you are...you are the Thunder God Luo Chuan of the Rocks Legion..." The poaching crew captain's voice was almost broken.

"Don't you know the Rocks Group is right here?" Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow.

It has been made public that Rocks Travel F is vacationing on Fishman Island.

Is it really necessary to be so surprised to see him? It looks like I've seen a ghost.

"How is this possible... Thor Luo Chuan... he's still alive..."

"Didn't the government release the news that he had been killed?"

"The dead man... no, this man has never died from beginning to end!"

The poachers cried out in alarm.

Luo Chuan's smile froze.

At that moment, he finally understood the reason.

Do you understand these sea creatures?

Now I understand why Rocks and the others had new bounties, while I didn't!

The world government probably thought it was dead!

He was ordered to go to the capital.

good good!

Not only are they not giving me a new bounty, but now they're spreading the word that I'm dead!

Originally, Luo Chuan didn't care much about the bounty, but now...

Boom!

Lightning flashes, dazzling.

The entire poaching gang was executed.

All the captured fish-men and mermaids were rescued.

"Lord Luochuan!"

"It was Lord Luochuan who saved us!"

"Thank you, Lord Luochuan!"

The fish-men's cries of thanks rose and fell.

Luo Chuan didn't care too much. After gaining the reputation he deserved, he switched to his Instant Instant Fruit ability and anchored himself to the holy site marker 20,000 meters above the ground.

Swish!

Luo Chuan vanished from Fishman Island in a flash, only to reappear in the deserted Celestial Dragon Richard's mansion.

He took a deep breath and gazed at the holy site.

Before causing trouble, Luo Chuan prepared to calm down his anger.

Swish!

The fruit ripens instantly, and the attack resumes.

A moment later, Luo Chuan arrived at Junzi's boudoir.

……

Chapter 89 Another Clash with the Army

More than two months have passed since the major invasion of the Holy Land.

The holy city of Mary Geoise gradually returned to its former prosperity and peace.

The reconstruction of Pangu City, which was damaged in the war, is in its final stages and will soon be fully restored.

The Tianlong people, who never learn from their mistakes, reverted to their old ways and began purchasing large numbers of slaves from various races to fill the vacancies.

Their move ushered in a golden age for the talent market, with premiums exceeding 30%.

Many criminals at sea are taking advantage of the situation to frantically arrest people and extort money.

The poaching gangs on Fishman Island are just a microcosm of the larger environment, and by no means an isolated case.

However, the Celestial Dragons' comfortable life will not last long.

Because they are about to have the strictest father in their Celestial Dragon careers.

……

The Holy Land residential area is the most central and luxurious residential area.

Even among the Celestial Dragons, a noble race of the world, there is a hierarchy.

Depending on their rank and the level of importance they received, the location of the mansion they were assigned after adulthood also varied.

Like the Celestial Dragon Richard and the Cube Celestial Dragon, they were given only minor, peripheral roles.

Members of the powerful Knights of God naturally occupy the most luxurious core area.

Although Junzi is not yet a formal Knight of the Gods, her heterochromatic eyes indicate a bright future.

Having been favored by the world's king, Im, she naturally occupies a place in the Heart Zone.

At 10 p.m., Junzi finished his day of training and returned to his residence.

Soon, several female servants came forward to help her change her clothes.

Junzi didn't speak, but dismissed those around him with a single glance.

She lay on her back on the soft bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought for a moment.

During these two months, she often experienced such periods of confusion, the reason being the news of Luo Chuan's death.

During the execution island incident, she went out with her seniors to broaden her horizons.

What was supposed to be a relaxing and enjoyable trip turned out to be the biggest Waterloo of my life.

The Knights of God's predecessors were suppressed as soon as they arrived on the island, eventually forcing her to intervene personally.

However, at that time, she didn't even know how to use Haki, so how could she possibly be a match for a monster with a Logia-type ability?

She had no power to resist the man who held the power of divine punishment.

That man showed absolutely no mercy, slapping her without hesitation, which made her extremely resentful.

Later, after returning to the Holy Land, she began to work hard and learn Armament Haki and Observation Haki from Karin, and finally made some progress.

It was at this moment that a dramatic thing happened.

Luo Chuan, disguised as the Celestial Dragon Richard, infiltrates the Holy Land and stirs up trouble. Coincidentally, she becomes entangled with Richard because of her mother.

She originally wanted to settle the past grievances in place of her mother, but she never expected to run into Luo Chuan, the imposter Celestial Dragon.

Unfortunately, she was defeated again, leaving behind only a humiliating defeat CG.

After learning everything, her hatred for Luo Chuan intensified.

She decided to work two hundred times harder to gain strength so that she could take revenge when they met again.

It was at this time that she learned something from the other knights of the gods.

That man was killed by Lord Im with his life.

Luo Chuan, is he dead?

When Junzi first heard the news, he felt incredibly happy and even wanted to celebrate.

But as time went by, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

Without her even realizing it, the man had already entered her heart.

Of course, don't misunderstand, this is not love, but a goal.

If Luo Chuan is already dead, then what's the point of her continuing to work hard?

"How could you die so easily?"

The soldier covered his eyes with the back of his left hand.

"It's only natural that you were killed for provoking Lord Im, but... if you die, who will I seek revenge against?"

Five minutes later, Junzi, having recovered, sat up. She had worked up a sweat during her training today and needed to take a good shower.

Just as Junzi was about to change into his pajamas, the lights suddenly went out.

Junzi was startled. He used his Observation Haki to detect the intruder's presence, activated his Paramecia-type Arrow-Arrow Fruit, and fired countless arrows.

However, the very next second, the same thing happened as two months ago: her Arrow-Arrow Fruit powers went berserk and out of control once again.

Just as Junzi was in shock, a cool touch landed on her fair wrist, followed by a tremendous feeling of powerlessness.

Sea Tower Stone Handcuffs!!!

Junzi realized what was happening; her hands were locked in place by sea stone.

The attacker in the shadows stepped forward, grabbed the sea stone handcuffs, raised her hands, and pressed her against the wall.

"It's you……"

Just then, Junzi finally managed to make out the appearance of the invaders by the dim light.

In an instant, extreme shock, astonishment, and disbelief appeared on her delicate and pretty face.

"You're not dead...you're actually not dead!" The soldier's emotions became increasingly agitated.

"Shh!" Luo Chuan made a shushing gesture.

Junzi remained silent, his heterochromatic eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Luo Chuan.

He's not dead!

He's still alive!

How could such a thing be possible?

Life is like a whirlwind, a soul that cannot be heard!

No matter who it is, if they are destined by fate, there is only one dead end: their heart will be pierced through. That should be the case.
