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

"Ah...oh"

Shimotsuki Shinko finally came to her senses and said, "Prince... no, sir, my name is Shimotsuki Shinko. Thank you so much for your help!"

"Shimotsuki? You're from Wano Country!" Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow, feeling inexplicably that the name sounded familiar.

“Yes!” Shimotsuki Nobuko nodded.

"So, what you were originally wearing was a kimono." Luo Chuan looked at Shimotsuki Shinko's clothes with a strange expression.

During the previous tug-of-war, Shimotsuki Nobuko's clothes were already tattered, revealing a large expanse of beautiful scenery.

"Ugh~"

Shimotsuki Shinko belatedly realized what was happening and quickly squatted down, her pretty face turning as red as an apple.

"give!"

Luo Chuan casually pulled a blue and white dress from his pocket and tossed it to Shuang Yue Zhenzi.

The maid outfit, which Colonel Tsuru had once disliked, caught Shimotsuki Shinko's eye, and she quickly ran behind a tree to change into it.

"I know, I know, these are clothes that girls from noble families outside would wear, thank you... sir!"

Shimotsuki Shizuko, dressed as a maid, happily said that as a native of Wano Country, she knew a little about the outside world.

“My name is Luo Chuan,” Luo Chuan said.

“Mr. Luo Chuan is truly very kind. He not only saved me but also gave me clothes.” Shimotsuki Shinko’s beautiful eyes sparkled.

Luo Chuan: "..."

Amen!

I always feel like I've been friend-zoned!

Boom!

Just then, a rumbling sound came from afar.

The earth shook violently, as if some enormous creature was moving.

"Miss Zhenzi, run! This place is about to become a battlefield," Luo Chuan said calmly.

"Huh?" In the short time that Shimotsuki Shinji was stunned, the enormous creature was already close by.

It was a giant tree-man over fifty meters tall, with a man standing on its shoulder.

"It's them again!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Shimotsuki Shinko's pretty face showed panic, and she subconsciously grabbed Luo Chuan's sleeve.

Boom!

With a muffled thud, the man on the tree-man's shoulder leaped into the air, creating a crater a hundred meters in diameter in the forest.

"So you're the one Ariel was talking about, Thor Luochuan, the vice-captain of the Rocks Legion, the man with a bounty of 3.6 billion. What an unexpected surprise!" The man named Bruno grinned.

"Brunet, how is it? Are you satisfied with this surprise?" the forest angel asked with a smile.

"Satisfied! Very satisfied!" Bruno's smile widened, his face beaming with eager anticipation.

"Are you the helper that forest dweller found? Then I can only say that you've been tricked by him."

Luo Chuan shrugged and continued, "My target is only him. If you retreat now, I can pretend I didn't see it."

Information about the identities of the three divine messengers and twelve heavenly generals of the angelic order is public knowledge, and there are bounty posters for them. Luo Chuan had seen it beforehand.

The man in front of him was not among the main force of the angels, so Luo Chuan concluded that he must be an outsider brought in by the forest envoy.

"Hahaha, what an arrogant man. A guy like you must have an amazing feel for flying!" Bruno looked at Luo Chuan with an aggressive gaze.

"In that case, let's start with you!"

Luo Chuan gestured for Shuang Yue Zhenzi to step back, then strode forward.

"Your Majesty!"

Bruno whispered, and at the same time tapped his finger lightly.

Boom!

It suddenly pressed down with ten times the force of gravity.

This sudden pressure caught even Luo Chuan somewhat off guard, causing his back to hunch slightly.

In just a moment, he adapted to the tenfold gravity environment, and suddenly looked up, his eyes shining as he looked at Bruno.

Originally, Luo Chuan only regarded him as an insignificant passerby.

Unexpectedly, this random passerby possessed such a wonderful ability.

"You are a user of the Multiple Fruits!" Luo Chuan's eyes shone brightly.

gravity!

That's a really good ability!

"Hahaha, as expected of a man with a net worth of 3.6 billion, you guessed it! I am indeed a Gravity Man who ate the Paramecia-type Devil Fruit!" Bruno laughed loudly.

"This is really... fantastic!" Luo Chuan's smile widened.

Since you're not leaving, then none of you should leave.

……

Chapter 104 Madara and Hashirama! Thunder God Susanoo vs. Senju Juju!

Natural Forest Fruits!

Paramecia-type Devil Fruit!

More than fifty years later, these two Devil Fruit users came together because of a global military recruitment drive and both became Navy Admirals.

Unexpectedly, fifty years ago, these two Devil Fruit users were also connected and appeared together.

For Luo Chuan, this was truly an unexpected delight.

He originally intended to just pick some fresh fruit in the forest kingdom, but little did he know that there was an even greater harvest waiting for him.

What else is there to say!

Just do it!

Luo Chuan strode forward, enduring ten times the force of gravity.

"Interesting. I'll see how long you can hold out."

Bruno, the user of the Gravity-Gravity Fruit, extended two fingers and pressed down lightly.

Twenty times the force of gravity!

"Too light!"

Luo Chuan remained unfazed, enduring twenty times the pressure, taking one step at a time.

"Then thirty times!"

Bruno extended his third finger.

"It's still too light!" Luo Chuan continued walking.

"Fifty!!!"

Bruno pressed down with his entire right hand.

Boom!

The pressure of fifty times the force of gravity caused the forest floor to continuously sink.

"Is this your limit?" Luo Chuan said calmly.

Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit, Loading!!!

Despite being subjected to fifty times the force of gravity, Luo Chuan was not suppressed. Instead, he climbed higher and higher against the gravity, walking on the ground.

This is only possible because of Luo Chuan's monstrous physique. If it were Shiki from this era, he would definitely be suppressed.

Even the floating fruit cannot allow it to move freely in an extremely high gravity field.

"Hahaha, you want to test my limits? Then so be it!"

Bruno, the user of the Gravity-Gravity Fruit, had a fierce fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

As a battle maniac, the more Luo Chuan resisted and the stronger he became, the more excited he became.

Snapped!

He clapped his hands together and, as Luo Chuan closed in on him within twenty meters, unleashed the full power of the Paramecia-type Gravity Fruit!

"Gravity—a hundred times!!!"

Boom!

Centered on Bruno, the ground within a radius of twenty meters completely collapsed.

However, Luo Chuan remained standing, as upright as a green bamboo, unmoving from beginning to end.

"Lord Luochuan is so handsome!"

Shimotsuki Shinko clenched her small fist and rested it against her smooth chin, her beautiful eyes filled with stars.

"A mere hundred times the gravity? You're two hundred years too early to crush me!" Luo Chuan walked up to Bruno and looked down at him.

"what!!!"

Bruno's pupils constricted sharply; he was utterly shocked.

Ever since he ate the Fruit of Many Powers, no... even without the power of many powers, others have always knelt before him, accepting his gaze, because he is the son of a noble family.

This was the first time he had ever felt looked down upon.

After a brief moment of shock came fury.

Nobility must not be insulted!

Nobles are born superior; how can they be looked down upon, especially by commoners?

"Fly!"

Bruno's eyes widened suddenly, releasing supergravity at the horizontal plane.

The sudden shift in gravity was indeed unexpected; even someone as strong as Luo Chuan was thrown backwards by the sudden lateral gravity.

"Hahaha, serves you right! This is the price of underestimating me!" Bruno laughed triumphantly.

However, in the next instant, Bruno's smile froze, replaced by a deep sense of shock.

In the blink of an eye, he felt a blur before his eyes, and Luo Chuan, who should have been thrown back by gravity and fallen in a sorry state, suddenly reappeared in front of him.

It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion; Luo Chuan had never been knocked away by his gravity.

"Brunet, get out of the way!" the giant tree man shouted a warning, but it was too late.

The dazzling fist light flashed and magnified in Bruno's pupils.

Paramecia-type Power-Power Fruit, loading!!!

Power max!!!

Luo Chuan's incredibly powerful punch slammed into Bruno's face, causing him to instantly turn his eyes and mouth crooked, bleed from his nose, and lose his teeth. He was sent flying backward like a cannonball, spinning 3,600 degrees in the air.

"Tree Net!!!"

The forest angel Ariel waved his hand.

The forest under his control sprang up a large net made of tough vines, blocking Bruno's flight as he was thrown backward.

After piercing through nine vine-covered trees in succession, the tenth tree net finally completely diminished that terrifying power.

A giant tree hand surged forth, and Bruno returned, bleeding profusely.

“Brunet, it seems today’s surprise has exceeded your expectations a little. Let me join the battle from now on!” said Ariel, the Mori-Mori Fruit user.

"Stop joking, I was just careless and didn't dodge..." Even with his teeth knocked out, the superpowered user remained stubborn.

“Of course I know that you can defeat that man by yourself in the end, but it won’t be easy. Why don’t we join forces, finish this quickly, and then drink together? Wouldn’t that be great?” The forest angel Ariel offered his friend a way out.
