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

"Waaaaah"

Suppressed sobs echoed in the large glass fish tank.

“Mr. Tom, I’m so scared… Mr. Sambell, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have run off alone…” Young Kokoro hugged the fish tail, his face full of panic.

"what……"

Just then, a shout came from outside the back warehouse.

The shouting stopped abruptly the next second, followed by a dull thud as someone fell to the ground.

squeak~

The backstage door opens.

A series of clear footsteps rang out.

The prisoners all shrank back in fear, not daring to raise their heads.

Just then, a soft whooshing sound was heard, and the furry girl and the others noticed the object that had been thrown to their feet.

That's... a key!!!

The key to unlock the exploding collar!!

The panda-fur girl and the others looked up in confusion, only to see a tall figure walking straight towards the mermaid girl at the deepest part of the room.

“Kokoro!” Luo Chuan looked at the girl in the fish tank.

Hearing his call, young Cocoa trembled and weakly raised her head.

Upon seeing the familiar face so close to him, Coco's expression froze.

A moment later, the panic on her face disappeared, replaced by extreme surprise and excitement.

"Mr. Luo Chuan, is that you? Is it really you? Have you come to save me?" Kokoro asked repeatedly.

“It’s me!” Luo Chuan nodded.

In a recent battle with the World King Im, Luo Chuan was blasted away by his own attack energy and flew all the way to Sabaody Archipelago.

Just as he was about to return to Fishman Island to rest, he noticed something unusual about Mangrove Tree Number One. He scanned it with his Observation Haki and found that it was someone he knew.

Roger's Fishman Sambelle.

Out of curiosity, Luo Chuan came to take a look.

The result was the discovery of the captured mermaid Kokoro.

Now that they've encountered each other, Luo Chuan naturally won't sit idly by.

pat!

The explosive collar around Kokoro's neck came off, and Luo Chuan reached out and pulled the mermaid girl out of the bathtub.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo Chuan!"

Young Kokoro nestled her head in Luo Chuan's arms, feeling an unprecedented sense of security.

At the same time, the iron-clad machine also opened the explosive collar and the prison.

All eyes were fixed on Luo Chuan, their eyes filled with fervor.

"Excuse me, are you Lord Luochuan?" someone asked.

"Yes! He is Thor from the Rocks gang!" someone affirmed.

"Lord Luochuan, you must be a savior sent by heaven!"

"I'm no savior, I just happened to be passing by," Luo Chuan said calmly.

After saying that, he carried Cocoro straight away, and people of all races followed after him with faces full of fervor.

……

At this very moment.

The main entrance of the auction house.

The battle between the fishman Sambell and the navy squad is coming to an end.

Apart from the naval captain, all the other unarmed marines had been defeated by Sambell.

"Kill him! No... don't kill him! I'm going to sell him to the world's nobles so he can experience the cruelest hell!" The auctioneer, whose hands had been pierced by Sambell's harpoon, spoke with venomous hatred.

Just then, he heard a series of footsteps behind him.

Looking back, he was immediately horrified.

"How...how did all these goods come out? Where are the guards? Are they all dead?" The auction house manager's voice was almost cracking.

The huge auction hall was quiet, and no one responded to his shouts.

Cold sweat instantly soaked the auctioneer's entire body. What if all these items escaped... especially that fish-man that he had finally managed to acquire? It was a special item prepared exclusively for the Celestial Dragons, the nobles of the world.

If the Celestial Dragons arrive tomorrow but do not see the mermaids, then what awaits him will be a fate worse than death.

blah blah blah!

The sound of footsteps came again, this time from a naval support team.

"Fishman, your strength is indeed not weak, but this is the limit." The Sabaody Naval Colonel straightened up.

"Damn it!" Sambell clenched his fists.

How could he possibly stand against the entire Sabaody Naval Base on his own?

"Haha...hahahaha"

The auction house manager suddenly burst into laughter.

"Good, good timing! Navy, quickly seal off the auction house. Someone is trying to steal the goods that the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, specifically requested tomorrow. We absolutely cannot let him get away, or if the Celestial Dragons ask about it tomorrow, you will be held responsible."

Upon hearing the auction house manager mention the Celestial Dragons, the Marines dared not be careless and immediately set up a perimeter fence, pointing the dark muzzles of their guns at the auction house entrance.

blah blah blah!

The sound of footsteps could be clearly heard by everyone present.

close!

It's getting closer!

Finally, the man carrying the mermaid girl was the first to walk out of the auction house.

The moment they saw the person's face, a tremendous shock and fear instantly overwhelmed everyone.

"You are……"

……

Chapter 95: A Bounty of 36 Billion! The Ruthless Gemini!

Sabaody Islands, Mangrove No. 1, Talent Market.

Luo Chuan carried the mermaid girl and calmly stepped out.

At that moment, the noisy Mangrove Tree No. 1 fell into complete silence.

Everyone gasped, their eyes wide, and their faces showed utter shock and horror.

"The Rocks Guild... Mr. Luo Chuan!!!" The fishman Sambell's surprised shout broke the deathly silence.

"what!"

"Ahhh!"

The sailors' terrified screams then erupted.

"Thunder, thunder, thunder... Thunder God Luo Chuan!"

"There's no mistake, it's that man!"

"The first mate of the Lockheed Martin F, he..."

"Why is he here? Wasn't there a rumor that he was dead...?"

……

The marines stationed on the Sabaody Archipelago all wore expressions of intense fear.

As for the previously arrogant auction house manager, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly at this moment, for fear of being noticed by Luo Chuan.

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree.

The reputation of the Rox Brotherhood's ruthless and vicious twins is well-deserved.

In this era, Captain Rocks and First Mate Rox, the two Rock brothers, were synonymous with terror.

The public execution of the Celestial Dragons, the invasion of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, and the creation of an unprecedented event in eight hundred years...

The Celestial Dragons, the world's noble race feared by all, are killed as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs. There is nothing these two brothers would not dare to do in this world.

Ignoring the terrified marines, Luo Chuan strode forward and stood before Sambell.

Looking at the mermaid girl in Luo Chuan's arms, Sambell's heart finally settled down.

He had already prepared to fight to the death, even at the cost of his own life, to create a chance for Kokoro to survive.

Unexpectedly, just when things seemed hopeless, a new path opened up. At this critical moment, Luo Chuan arrived and rescued Kokoro first.

"Mr. Luo Chuan, I really don't know how to thank you enough. Including Nina's favor, I already owe you two favors," Sambell said, at a loss for words.

"Don't worry about it, I didn't do this because of you," Luo Chuan said calmly. "Kokoro is also an old friend of mine."

"Sigh~" Sambell was stunned. He never expected that Kokoro would have such a strong background.

"Mr. Sambell, I'm sorry..."

The mermaid girl in Luo Chuan's arms noticed the wounds on Sambell's body and felt apologetic.

"It's all because I ran around recklessly that I dragged you into this mess..."

“Don’t say that, Kokoro. It’s my fault for not protecting you,” Sambell interrupted.

"Can you still hold on?" Luo Chuan asked Sang Beier.

“This level of injury isn’t fatal,” Sambell readily agreed.

“Let’s go then.” Luo Chuan took the lead.

Sambell nodded and quickly followed.

Throughout the entire process, Xiangbodi was completely oblivious to what was happening. Jia Huangqian watched intently, not daring to even breathe loudly, let alone try to stop her.

The Navy leadership had already issued a notice stating that if one encountered the Rocks gang at sea, running away was not shameful.

"Whoo~"

Watching Luo Chuan and his party walk away, the auction house manager finally breathed a sigh of relief.

You can find new auction items if they're gone, but if you lose your life, it's truly gone.

If Luo Chuan takes the auction items away like this, we certainly won't be able to explain it to the guests tomorrow, especially to the Tianlong people. But as long as we don't lose our composure, there's always a way out.

In contrast, if they were to block Luo Chuan here, it would truly be a certain death.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, I've lived another day."

Just as the auction house manager was secretly rejoicing.

Suddenly, Luo Chuan, who was about to walk out of the No. 1 mangrove tree, stopped in his tracks.

"Mr. Luo Chuan, what's wrong?" Sambell asked hurriedly.

"I almost forgot!"

Luo Chuan's tall body swayed, and a huge octopus tentacle shot out from behind him, splitting the magnificent human auction house in two with the force of splitting mountains.

Immediately afterwards, the octopus tentacles swept across the left hand, completely destroying the evil human auction house, turning it into ruins, and making it cease to exist.

"no no no"

The auction house agent stared blankly at the scene. When he came to his senses, he shook his head repeatedly and shouted.

At this point, he was no longer afraid, and he could barely manage to explain that Luo Chuan had taken away a few auction items.
