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

“Yes, yes, that’s right. The first mate defeated all of them,” Shiki agreed.

The young white-bearded man looked at Shiki with suspicion.

“Heh, Newgate, why are you looking at me like that?” Shiki said awkwardly.

“Ski, I feel like something’s off about you today. I’ve never seen you so attentive to Luo Chuan before,” Newgate said.

"Hahaha, this was originally the first mate's achievement. I was just telling the truth." Shi Qi said righteously.

Newgate, just keep acting like this. Wait until your Tremor-Tremor Fruit is taken away, then we'll see how you cry.

“Mr. Luo Chuan, to express my gratitude for your help, I have ordered a banquet to be prepared in the Dragon Palace. I hope you will do me the honor of attending!” The mermaid prince Neptune looked at Luo Chuan.

"Okay, let's go then." Luo Chuan did not refuse.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will be their last banquet on Fishman Island.

After that, it's time for Loxport F to set sail again.

The royal phoenix-tailed ship took off, carrying Luo Chuan and his entourage to the Dragon Palace for a banquet.

"Lord Luochuan, thank you so much!"

"Loxport is the best!"

The gathering of the people of Fishman Island cheered for Luochuan and for the Lost Sea.

"Lord Luo Chuan is so handsome~ I definitely want to become a great hero like him someday~"

Among the crowd, the little tigerfish fish-man, young Tiger, spoke with a face full of longing.

……

Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the port, the air fluctuated without warning.

A hand pushed open a door from inside the air, and a person stepped out, their face slightly pale.

“Thunder God Luo Chuan, what a terrifying man. As the rumors say, he not only has the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but also the power of Redbeard…” The man in black robes frowned deeply.

……

The banquet at the Dragon Palace lasted for a day and a night, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.

After that, Loxley F held a grand farewell banquet at Sea Forest at his own expense.

After several days of intense banquets, even Luo Chuan felt 'tired'. He found a quiet place to rest, and his even breathing could be heard.

Just then, without a sound, the air opened a small door, and a hand reached out from it.

pat!

The sea-stone handcuffs were precisely placed on Luo Chuan's hands.

At the same time, Luo Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the attacker with his backhand, and pulled him out of the alternate dimension.

"Finally caught you!"

……

Chapter 99 includes the Space System! Historical Text! General Steel-Bone Sky!

Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit ability.

Those with abilities can open doors anywhere and enter and exit freely, even the air.

Although the name may sound a bit corny, there is no doubt that it is a powerful spatial ability.

The later user of the Door-Door Fruit was Bruno of CP9, who led all the members of CP9 to escape through a dimensional portal from Enies Lobby, which was locked by the Buster Call.

Time is supreme, space is king.

Any ability involving time and space is not pulled.

A few days ago, on the day the Angels invaded Fishman Island, Luo Chuan discovered the existence of the Door-Door Fruit user, but unfortunately, he escaped.

However, Luo Chuan knew that the Door-Door Fruit user was still on the island.

These past few days, he has had the feeling of being watched.

For some reason, the other party seemed to want to do something to him.

Since that's the case, Luo Chuan is no longer in a hurry. He pretends not to know anything and deliberately reveals his weakness.

As expected, the other side took the bait and launched an attack when Luo Chuan was completely unprepared, opening the air door.

Using sea-stone handcuffs to restrain Luo Chuan, restricting his use of the Devil Fruit's power, it must be said, his methods were incredibly effective.

Unfortunately, the Sea Stone was never Luo Chuan's weakness.

"How...how can your power still be so strong? This is 100% pure Seastone!"

The black-robed man, who had been forcibly pulled out of the alternate dimension by Luo Chuan, couldn't help but scream in surprise.

Theoretically speaking, Luochuan should be extremely weak due to the suppression of the Sea Stone.

Even if they could still maintain their fighting strength, it would be impossible for them to still have such power.

"You, as an ability user, were able to handcuff me? Hmm... so it's a fake handcuff." Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow.

It was discovered that the handcuffed hand of the Door-Door Fruit user was a lifelike mechanical hand that was indistinguishable from a human hand.

"What kind of monster are you?" The man in the black robe was shaken.

"Knowing I'm a monster, you not only didn't run away, but you even dared to show yourself in front of me. Why did you do that?" Luo Chuan retorted.

"You're in too much danger." The man in the black robe had a gloomy expression.

During his trip to Fishman Island, after making contact with Lox the Merchant F, he discovered a terrible truth.

Rocks was indeed a monster, with unparalleled domineering presence.

However, Luo Chuan's monster-like nature is, in some ways, even greater than that of Lox.

This monster, which breaks the fundamental rules of the Devil Fruit and possesses multiple abilities, is simply unheard of.

Most importantly, Luo Chuan also obtained the power of the Redbeard Kraken, and his many fruits were most likely stolen from others.

Prior to this, the man in the black robe had no doubt that the Angels possessed the strength to crush the Lox Legion.

But after witnessing the horror of Luo Chuan, his confidence wavered.

If a conflict were to actually break out between the two sides, and Luo Chuan were to use his plundering power during the process to steal their own divine fruits, or even the captain's abilities... the consequences would be unimaginable.

As an assassin among the twelve angel generals, the man in black robes felt it was necessary for him to eliminate Luo Chuan, this terrible variable, for the team.

That's why he didn't run away, but chose to lie in wait on Fishman Island, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him.

Because Luo Chuan possesses the ability of a mythical beast, and has a tenacious vitality, making him impossible to kill in one blow, he planned to first seal his ability with 100% pure Seastone.

His plan was so meticulous that an ordinary ability user would have fallen for it.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the target of this assassination attempt.

"As a member of the Angels' Guild, you should be very familiar with the internal affairs," Luo Chuan said calmly. "Now I'll give you a chance to tell me exactly which ability users your Ocean Freight Forge has."

A few days ago, the man in black robes extended an invitation to him, mentioning natural abilities and believing that he could become the 'Thor's Messenger'.

Luo Chuan had reason to suspect that there were other Logia-type ability users within the Angelic Order, and more than one.

After the update to the domineering version, the nature type seems to have fallen out of favor, but Luo Chuan doesn't think so.

The title of the strongest type of Natural is well-deserved. As long as it's not a swamp, Luochuan can accept any Natural type, such as light, ice, or lava.

If a major battle were to break out between the two groups, Luo Chuan's primary target would be those so-called nature-type divine messengers.

"You think you can learn about the Angelic Order's internal affairs through me? Dream on!" The man in black robes grinned. "The brilliance of the Angel King will soon fade away..."

puff!

Luo Chuan slapped the black-robed man's head away, sending blood gushing more than a meter high from the headless skull.

Not going to tell?

Then never say it again!

[Congratulations, host, on defeating the Door-Door Devil! The Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit has been successfully acquired.]

"Hey, Luo Chuan, where did you run off to? Come and see me right now!"

Just then, Rox's voice called out from afar.

"They're here!"

Luo Chuan quickly tidied up and cleaned himself before heading towards the source of the sound.

Before long, Luo Chuan walked into the depths of the Sea Forest, where two square stones stood in an open space not far ahead.

One red!

One gray!

"Look! This is a historical text, and there are two of them, one of which is red!" Rocks exclaimed in surprise.

"Historical texts? What are those?" The ignorant Shiki was completely baffled.

“Idiot, you don’t even know the Poneglyphs…” Newgate said unconsciously, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that it seemed to be the first time he had ever heard of it either.

He quickly spoke to Neptune in private and learned some information from him.

"Ahem, the History Book is a stone that records the blank century of history from eight hundred years ago," Newgate said in a serious tone.

“Oh, Newgate, you only found out by asking Neptune, didn’t you?” Skeeter said.

“What nonsense are you talking about? I already knew, I just couldn’t remember it just now,” Newgate firmly denied.

“If you know so much, then you must know what’s written on these two historical texts,” Shiki said.

"I know that's so simple. You just wait."

After speaking, Newgate once again spoke privately with Prince Neptune.

However,,,

“I’m sorry, Newgate, the Poneglyphs were written in an ancient script from eight hundred years ago. This script has long been lost. Our Fishman royal family has only been guarding these two Poneglyphs for generations,” Prince Neptune said apologetically.

"Huh?" The young white-bearded man was dumbfounded. He had just boasted so much, and now...

"Hahaha, stop pretending, Newgate. Admit it, you're just like me, you know absolutely nothing." Shiki, who had secretly followed and eavesdropped, burst into laughter.

Whitebeard: "..."

On the other side, Luo Chuan walked to the two Poneglyphs and stood side by side with Rocks.

“Luo Chuan, you are a scholar from Ohara, you should be able to understand the text above,” Lockes said.

"Well, I can understand some of it." Luo Chuan nodded, not making any definitive statements.

The ordinary history book on the right is alright; it has the knowledge of a time traveler and can explain most of it.

But asking him to translate the historical text of the red road sign on the left and give the specific coordinates would be a nightmare.

After a long pause, Luo Chuan nodded in a perfunctory manner.

“This ordinary historical text contains a letter,” Luo Chuan said.

"A letter? Who wrote it? And to whom?" Locke asked curiously.

"Joyboy's apology letter to the mermaid princess from eight hundred years ago..." Luo Chuan said succinctly.

“Joyboy…”

As a descendant of the Davy family, Locus was certainly familiar with Joiboi, and his ancestor Davy Jones had a close relationship with him.

I don't know if there was an apology letter written to the Little Mermaid, or to Davis Jones.

Lox shook his head, then looked at another unusual redstone.

"This is the first time I've seen a book on the history of the Red Army. What's so special about it?"

"This is a coordinate. It seems that you need to collect all four pieces to summon the dragon... oh no, it's to determine a final coordinate," Luo Chuan said.

Lockes was confused, but he didn't press for details.

After the rubbings of the two historical texts were completed, the farewell banquet at the Sea Forest came to an end.

Amidst the farewells of the fish-man islanders, the coated ship Rocks Fury set sail again after six months.
