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

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Upon hearing this, the fish-man islanders near the port were all stunned. They looked at each other, unsure whether to be happy or not.

Even ordinary fish-men living 10,000 meters deep in the ocean have heard of the name Angel Sea Fairy.

If they could truly gain his protection, it would indeed be a good thing for Fishman Island.

But... is there really such a thing as a free lunch?

Why would the King of Angels of the New World want to come and protect Fishman Island for no reason?

"Angelic Order, what are your conditions for providing shelter to Fishman Island? What do you need us to do?" A fishman spoke up, still conscious, not stunned by the pie.

"If you want to gain the protection of the Angel King, what you need to do is very simple: just send a thousand strong fishmen and five hundred young mermaids to attack the Angel Legion every year. It's that simple, isn't it?" another sea monster said.

As soon as the words were spoken, the vast harbor fell silent for a moment, followed by a deafening roar of shock and uproar.

"What did you say... a thousand fish and five hundred mermaids? Are you kidding me!"

"What exactly do you want from the fish-men and mermaids?"

"How could they possibly want us to betray our fellow countrymen in exchange for asylum?!"

"We, Fishman Island, would never use such methods to obtain so-called protection!"

"Your so-called protection is nothing but a pretense. What you really want is to turn our Fishman Island into a colony!"

The fish-man islanders in the port were all furious and enraged.

After hearing the conditions of the angels' protection, everyone could understand their true purpose.

They didn't come to offer refuge at all; they wanted to make Fishman Island their colony.

If we agree to their conditions, then all the residents of Fishman Island will be like livestock, kept at their mercy.

As for their purpose in demanding fishmen and mermaids, it's obvious even to a fool that it's definitely not a good thing. They probably want to use them as commodities to sell to nobles, especially the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles.

Shut up!!!

A loud roar, accompanied by an unparalleled high pitch, drowned out the voices of hundreds or even thousands of fish-man islanders, echoing over the island for a long time.

Captain Sonic Ship F, a member of the Angels' Order, spoke in a booming voice: "Fishmen, did you think we were discussing this with you? No, this is an announcement! From this moment on, Fishman Island is the territory of the Angel King, and you are all his private property!"

"How could this be..."

"This is too domineering..."

"We are human beings too... not commodities..."

Anger, fear, panic, unease, despair... all sorts of negative emotions started from the port and continued to spread.

……

At this very moment.

Near the port, on the rooftop of a three-story building.

"Hahaha, King of Angels, what a resounding title." Lox grinned, his gaze full of aggression.

"Hahaha, what a fine angelic group! Do they think they're the masters of the sea?" The young Shiki laughed, his face cold.

The Angels, the rulers of the new world, and the Scarlet Devils, the rulers of Paradise, are arch-enemies.

Therefore, Shiki naturally harbored hostility towards the angels.

"Those self-righteous bastards, if they want Fishman Island, they should ask me first if I agree." The young white-bearded Newgate was filled with righteous indignation.

After spending half a year together, he and the mermaid prince Neptune are now sworn brothers. Naturally, Newgate would not stand idly by when his brother's country is in trouble.

Just as Newgate was preparing to strike and deliver a crushing blow to those arrogant fellows who held the title of King of Angels.

“Wait, Newgate!” Luo Chuan spoke up.

"Are you going to stop me, Luo Chuan?" Newgate said in a deep voice.

“Of course not.” Luo Chuan shook his head. “It’s just that now is not the time for us to step in.”

“As far as Fishman Island is concerned, we are also outsiders. This is a conflict between Fishman Island and the Angels, and they must negotiate first,” Miss Bagin explained.

Upon hearing this, Newgate realized what Luo Chuan meant and stopped his aggressive advance.

……

"We, Fishman Island, would never betray our fellow citizens to gain so-called protection, and Fishman Island will never become a colony of others."

A firm voice, amplified by the megaphone bug, resonated throughout the island, instantly lifting the spirits of the anxious islanders.

"Look at the sky! That's... the royal phoenix-tail boat!"

"It's Your Highness! It was Prince Neptune who spoke just now!"

"That's great! With Prince Neptune's words, I can finally relax!"

"Prince Neptune~"

The cheers of the fish-man islanders rose up, their emotions running high.

“Fish-man prince, watch your words and rephrase them, or you may face the wrath of the King of Angels,” another angel under the command of Hai Qiu sneered.

“Even if I say it a hundred times, it will be the same: Fishman Island will never yield to violence. That is my answer. Now, please leave our island. You are not welcome here!” Prince Neptune said firmly.

"What audacity!"

Do you know who you are facing?

"We are the dominant force in the new world!"

"The King of Angels is the ruler of the new world!"

The thirty-four men shouted angrily in succession.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Tens of thousands of pirates shouted and roared, their voices echoing in all directions, filling the people of Fishman Island with a mixture of fear and trembling.

"Royal Army, form ranks!" The merman prince Neptune stood firm, preparing for battle with his soldiers.

"Mermaid Prince, are you sure you want to be an enemy of my angelic order?" The man in the black robe finally spoke.

“It’s not that I want to be your enemy, but that you’re being too aggressive,” Neptune said.

"The King of Angels' decision represents the will of Heaven and is absolutely correct," the twelve generals declared confidently.

"Damn fate, it's just an excuse for you to colonize my Fishman Island," Prince Neptune couldn't help but say.

Upon hearing this, the gaze of the Gate-Gate Fruit user suddenly sharpened.

"How dare they disrespect the King of Angels! It seems that Fishman Island has no reason to exist anymore!"

The black-robed man raised his large hand, about to bring it down.

Just then.

"Hahaha, what a load of bull! What a show of power!"

A wild, arrogant laugh suddenly erupted over the harbor, accompanied by a thick bolt of black and red lightning.

Snapped!

Boom!

In the vast Fishman Port, people kept falling unconscious, their eyes rolling back in their heads.

"Conqueror's Haki!"

"That's Conqueror's Haki!"

Seeing their companions falling one after another, the angels' expressions all changed drastically.

"They've finally arrived!" The black-robed man, one of the twelve Heavenly Generals, narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Idiot, Rocks, don't use Conqueror's Haki carelessly, it'll implicate innocent people," the young white-bearded man said.

"Hahaha, don't worry about it, it's just a momentary dizziness, it's not like I'm dead," Shiki laughed loudly.

Lockes strode ahead, followed closely by Luo Chuan, Newgate, and others, and they walked through the crowd until they finally stood on the harbor shore.

"It's Lox World Trade Center F!"

"The Rocks gang, they're on Fishman Island!"

Upon seeing Luo Chuan and his entourage arrive, some of the Haiqiu were taken aback, their initial arrogance vanished.

The name of a person is the shadow of a tree. The Lockheed Martin team, which has two members with super bounties of over 3 billion, is one of the most terrifying teams in the world.

The captains under the Angels were quite surprised by the appearance of Rocks and his gang, but the members of the Angels themselves, especially the black-robed man who was one of the Twelve Generals, were not shocked at all.

Because of their trip to Fishman Island, Rocks Shopping Mall was also one of their goals.

Starting six months ago, they began recruiting people and assembling a large army.

The purpose was to give the Loxman, who had just landed in the New World, a taste of their power.

However, embarrassingly, although they had already assembled their forces, the Rocks Group was nowhere to be seen.

On this side, they were on high alert.

Meanwhile, at the Rocks Shopping Mall, people were enjoying a leisurely vacation.

After waiting for half a year, they finally couldn't wait any longer and decided to take the initiative.

After receiving intelligence that the Rocks Company was still on Fish-Man Island, they organized today's large-scale operation.

Firstly, they colonized Fishman Island, turning it into their livestock base and continuously supplying Fishman slaves to the world's nobles.

Secondly, it would allow them to display their power in front of Rocks and his gang.

"Rocks, you bastard, are you trying to stand up for Fishman Island?"

"Lox, how dare you disrespect the King of Angels! You are doomed!"

Several arrogant and haughty Hai Qiu shouted in succession.

If it were a typical small-time overseas customer, they would most likely choose to bow down and back down due to the overwhelming power of the Angel Overlord.

But today, they encountered the Los Angeles Maritime Trader F.

Chi Chi!

A flash of deep purple lightning.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, descended from the sky, instantly turning the loudest of the hooligans, Hai Qiu, into charred remains.

噝~

This sudden and terrifying scene caused all the sea monsters under Yi Xinghan's command to gasp in shock.

After realizing what had happened, Xing Si was furious. Guessing who had made the move, they all glared angrily at the direction where Luo Chuan was.

"Thor, you bastard, you actually dared to lay a hand on me!"

"Those who oppose my angelic order are doomed to perish!"

The seamen roared in anger, and the dead captain was about to open fire in retaliation.

"and many more"

Just then, the black-robed man at the bow of the leading three-masted sailing ship, representing the angelic group, raised his hand to stop them.

“Thunder God Luo Chuan.” The Door-Door Fruit user, one of the Twelve Heavenly Generals, looked at Luo Chuan.

"What's up?" Luo Chuan glanced at him sideways.

“It’s such a waste for a man like you to stay with the Rocks Legion.” The man in the black robe shook his head.

"Heh, so where do you think I should be to avoid being a waste?" Luo Chuan laughed.

"Of course you should join my angelic order. You possess divine power bestowed by the gods. If you join my angelic order, you can be immediately crowned as the Thunder God's Envoy. You will be the most honored person under the King of Angels," the black-robed man advised with a face full of longing.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
