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

New World, Angel Island.

Chaos~

With the release of Luo Chuan's new bounty, the entire Angel Island's sea of ​​bounties was thrown into uproar.

"Are you kidding me? The previous one, Rocks, was one thing, but now there's another one!"

"This guy... what exactly does Thor Luo Chuan do to deserve a bounty of 36 billion Berries!"

"According to maritime custom, only the captain's bounty can exceed three billion for a single voyage, however..."

"Why does the Rocks Order have two bounties exceeding three billion? What are those guys in the government doing?"

The entire angelic community was in an uproar, unable to accept this fact.

It's important to know that, as the dominant force in the New World, only their captain's bounty is four billion.

The next three divine messengers, despite their immense power and years of traversing the oceans, only had a bounty of around two billion.

However, the second-in-command of the Rocks Group has been at sea for only two or three years, yet he has amassed a bounty of 3.6 billion. How can they possibly be at peace with that?

"The World Government's move is probably an attempt to provoke a conflict between us and the Rocks Group."

Raphael, the first among the three angels of the Angelic Order and a man with the Paramecia-type Paw-Paw Fruit, spoke in a deep voice.

"It seems that's right. Our dissatisfaction and anger are exactly what the government wants. It's just that those idiots in the government never realize that even without their interference and malicious intent, we are destined to have a war with the Rocks Group."

Like the Paw Ball Devil, the Memory-Memory Fruit user, who was also one of the Twelve Heavenly Generals, spoke softly.

"Thunder God of the Rocks Legion dares to openly sabotage our businesses on the Sabaody Archipelago. This matter must be addressed!" Fourth Day spoke decisively.

"The King of Angels has issued his decree, and his fleet will soon be fully assembled, just waiting for Lox and his men to land in the New World so we can give them a good beating." The Fifth Heavenly General sneered repeatedly.

……

……

Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

Two months of hard work, all gone in one night.

In the chaos that ensued in Luochuan, half of the sacred site was almost destroyed.

"That octopus bastard, this should satisfy him."

Saturn's five elders, Satan, gritted their teeth.

"A madman! I've never seen such a madman before!"

Jupiter's five elders, Pitt, had a dark complexion.

"This is unheard of. There's actually a problem with the Sea God's speed and gold, and they're attacking the Holy Land."

Marcus, one of the Five Elders of Mars, shook his head repeatedly.

Previously, the Five Elders were all immersed in their rage over the chaos in Luochuan, and had not thought about the reasons behind it.

It wasn't until afterward, upon reviewing the events, that the reason for Luochuan's disturbance at the sacred site was discovered.

Of course, the reason why the Five Elders knew the reason was closely related to the behind-the-scenes efforts of the military.

Without Junzi's encouragement, the Five Elders would never have guessed that Luo Chuan came because of the bounty.

"A bounty of 3.6 billion is enough to give him face. Hopefully, that guy will behave himself for a while," said Vocholi, one of the Five Elders of Mercury, in a low voice.

"We've already made concessions. If that guy is still not satisfied and dares to cause trouble in the Holy Land again, we'll fight to the death," the Five Elders of Venus said angrily.

Although as long as Lord Im is in charge, the foundation of the Holy Land of Maryjoia will not collapse.

No matter who comes or how many people come, Lord Im can drive them back.

But if Luo Chuan really comes to cause trouble every ten days or half a month, who can withstand that?

At that time, the entire Holy Land will be filled with panic, and the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles who enjoy all privileges, will probably not even dare to leave their homes easily. That will be a disaster.

……

……

Luochuan, located on Fishman Island, saw his new bounty poster half a month later.

"Whoa whoa whoa, here it comes, here it comes, the first mate's new bounty!"

"Thirty-six billion! First mate Luo Chuan is simply amazing, the bounty has more than doubled!"

"As expected of the two core members of our Rocks Pirates, this bounty is just right for our first mate!"

The members of the Lox Corps shouted excitedly and enthusiastically.

"Hahaha, my men, let's have a feast today to celebrate your first mate's new bounty!" Rocks shouted, having found a reason to hold the feast.

"oh--!!!"

The entire Lox Legion was in a state of high spirits, except for one person.

"Hahaha, don't be discouraged, Fourth Brother, your bounty will still increase in the future." Luo Chuan patted Golden Lion Shiki on the shoulder.

When the new bounty was issued last time, Shiki was gloating because Luo Chuan wasn't among them.

At the time, Shiqi even comforted Luochuan, saying that prices would definitely rise later.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Luo Chuan's bounty has actually increased.

Where can he go to seek justice?

"Fourth brother, what are you standing there for? Get ready for the banquet!" the young, white-bearded Newgate called out.

“Newgate, you’ve become number three yourself.” Skeeter tried to slap Newgate down.

"So what happened?"

The young man with the white beard seemed completely unfazed.

“I was the third oldest before, at least I’ve been the second oldest, unlike you, who’s always the fourth oldest.”

"Wow ah ah"

……

……

Winter goes and spring comes.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye as the Rocks Group enjoyed their blissful vacation on Fishman Island.

Time passed unnoticed, and it became the year 1489 of the Haiyuan calendar.

Over the past six months, Fishman Island has enjoyed a rare period of peace thanks to the existence of Rocks Pirates F.

The decision by the Fish-Man Island royal family to treat the Rocks Group with the highest honors was very wise.

In the past six months, not a single case of mermaid trafficking has occurred on Fishman Island.

The sea monsters that came to Fishman Island and stretched out their claws all had their claws broken by Luo Chuan and Newgate.

Luo Chuan was doing it to build up his reputation, while Newgate was simply going to great lengths for his friend.

Young Newgate and the mermaid prince Neptune hit it off immediately and became sworn brothers.

With his brother's country having a foreign ally, the loyal Newgate naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

Time quietly passed to August of 1489.

On this day, the peace of Fishman Island was shattered.

The entire island's fish-men were filled with fear and unease.

It was all because of the dozens of coated sea monsters that landed on Fish-Man Island.

All sea creatures, loosely packed with molten metal, are subject to the influence of sodium ore.

A skull with angel wings!!!

This is the logo of the new world overlord, Angel Haili F.

The difference between the ships is the number on the skulls.

They are a large fleet that Angels Mercenary F has acquired in the New World.

The numbers on the skulls represent their order of joining.

……

……

Fishman Island, Dragon Palace City.

The royal family and high-ranking members, led by the Mermaid King, gathered together.

"The angelic overlords of the new world... why would they come to Fishman Island, and with such fanfare?" Cold sweat soaked the Mermaid King's back.

“Your Majesty, the other side is hostile; we must prepare accordingly,” said the Right Minister of the Army.

“I have contacted Newgate, and they have agreed to help us,” Prince Neptune said.

“Your Highness, you mustn’t!” said the Left Minister of the Civil Service. “If we really go to war with them, the entire Fish-Man Island might cease to exist!”

"Report!!!"

Just then, a merman soldier rushed into the hall in a panic.

“Your Majesty, just now, the angels made their demands. For this trip to Fishman Island, they want a thousand fishmen and five hundred mermaid girls. They will leave as long as their demands are met.”

"what!!!"

Upon hearing this, the royal family's high-ranking members were all furious.

How could it be possible for a king to voluntarily hand over his own people?

Even a fool would know that the angels' demand for fishmen and mermaids was definitely not a good idea.

If they are really sent away, those fishmen will surely suffer a fate worse than death.

“Father, we absolutely cannot agree to their demands.” Prince Neptune’s eyes reddened, and he was trembling with rage.

"1500 people today, 3000 tomorrow—we can't possibly feed them all," the Right Minister said decisively. "Fortunately, this is the deep sea, ten thousand meters below the surface. As long as they don't come in, the ocean is our master..."

Before the Right Minister could finish speaking...

"Report!!!"

Another merman soldier tumbled and crawled over.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Hai Tong Y have invaded the island."

"What did you say?" The Right Minister grabbed the soldier by the collar. "How did they get in? Who opened the door for them?"

"No...no...no one opened the door for them, the door...the door opened by itself!"

"Aha?"

……

Chapter 97 Declaration of War! The First Clash with the Heavenly Shit King!

At a depth of 10,000 meters in the deep sea, a man dressed in a black robe stood at the bow of a coated ship and gently pushed open the tightly closed door.

The next second, the gates to Fishman Island opened!!!

The man in the black robe is one of the twelve generals of Angelic Pirates F, and a Paramecia-type Gate Fruit user.

The Door-Door Fruit grants it the ability to open doors anywhere and enter freely without the owner's permission.

Opening the gate to Fish-Man Island is merely the most basic power of the Door-Door Fruit. If he so desires, he can even open a gate in the atmosphere, creating a green interdimensional passage that leads directly to the interior of Fish-Man Island.

Similar to the Paramecia-type Instant Instant Fruit, the Door Door Fruit also involves the manipulation of spatial forces.

As the gates of Fishman Island opened, the captain of the angel king's fleet sailed straight in.

Thirty-four coated ships of varying sizes filed in through the main gate, eventually landing at the main port of Fishman Island, casting a deep psychological shadow on the island's residents.

"Fishman Island, listen up!"

A seaman stood at the bow of the ship, speaking arrogantly.

"From this day forward, your Fishman Island will officially be incorporated into the territory of the Angel King, becoming his domain. The radiance of the angels will protect you fishmen from the harassment of others. Rejoice! Be grateful! This is the Angel King's supreme blessing upon you!"
