What's written on it is…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned in and carefully read the ancient inscriptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, she stepped back, visibly disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just the location of Pluton…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocodile had been obsessed with uncovering information about the Ancient Weapon Pluton. But Robin's true interest lay in uncovering the secrets of the Void Century.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Cobra, pinned to the ground by arms sprouting from behind him, asked tentatively, \"Did you understand what it says?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin remained thoughtful. \"King Cobra… is this the only poneglyph in your kingdom? Are there no others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cobra nodded sincerely. \"This is the only poneglyph we have guarded for generations. There is no second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guarded, huh…\" Robin sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump, thump…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps echoed through the stone corridor behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sneering voice followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kuhahahaha… So this is the royal secret of Alabasta, hidden for centuries? What a pain it was to find it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Crocodile's voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had arrived too quickly. Had the Straw Hats been defeated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin had planned to leave immediately, but now, with Crocodile arriving sooner than expected, her plan was disrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned, watching as Crocodile stepped from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocodile chuckled darkly. \"Did I interrupt your escape plan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Escape? I wouldn't dream of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he stepped into the light, Robin's expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your clothes…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Crocodile was dressed entirely differently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange, isn't it?\" he said, grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a snap of his fingers, his features began to shift—face, height, even his build—until the figure standing before them was none other than Shirogai Yamikuro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled at Robin's stunned expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just joking, Miss Robin. Surely you don't mind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin studied him closely and replied with a composed smile, \"So it's The Plunderer. Using Bon Clay's Clone-Clone Fruit ability, I presume? Impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cobra, who had tensed when \"Crocodile\" appeared, finally relaxed. Realizing it was Shirogai, he no longer feared for his life—or the need to activate the tomb's defensive mechanisms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai turned to the poneglyph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is it?\" he asked, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Robin, would you be so kind as to translate it for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin nodded and began reading aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It says: In the 239th year of the Celestial Era, Casira conquered Alabasta. In the 260th year, Peter was ruled by Dima. In the 306th year, Elmar completed…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner, Cobra's face twisted in confusion. This wasn't the history passed down by his ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai studied the tablet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, this poneglyph records Alabasta's royal history—not information about Pluton or its location. Looks like Crocodile's efforts were wasted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin nodded, her tone casual. \"Indeed, his plan has failed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai sighed. \"What a shame…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My business here is done. I'll be leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin turned to go but paused when Shirogai recited aloud:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One day in the future, its purpose will be revealed again…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin's foot stopped in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Therefore, we temporarily bury it in Wano Country…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That line was part of the poneglyph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned sharply toward Shirogai, astonished. \"You can read the poneglyphs?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Robin, tell me if I translated anything incorrectly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how?! Only the archaeologists of Ohara could read the ancient text!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin's breath hitched. Her chest rose and fell as she struggled to process the revelation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be so shocked, Miss Robin…\" Shirogai began, but then paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand slightly, fingers curling as if gripping invisible threads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few moments, he turned to Cobra and said calmly, \"Let's talk later. We should leave now. The final act is about to begin, and you're a crucial piece in it, Cobra-sama.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He approached the king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait! Treinta Fleurs: Clutch—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin quickly made the Flower-Flower hand gesture to restrain him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could complete the attack, Shirogai snapped his fingers and smirked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twin Bloom: Crimson Bind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two scaled, crimson arms sprouted from Robin's waist and clamped down on her wrists with overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gasped. \"Huh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She struggled, but the grip was unyielding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These weren't her own arms. They weren't even human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd seen Shirogai use the Flower-Flower Fruit back on the Going Merry. But now, she realized—this wasn't her ability at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her duplicated limbs always mirrored her own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these arms…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were something entirely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai helped Cobra to his feet and gave Robin a knowing look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Robin… Don't forget, I know the Flower-Flower Fruit's ability too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this… really the same power?\" Robin whispered in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at the arms holding her. Then, softly smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the first time I've felt restrained by my own ability…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai tilted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With Baroque Works about to collapse, you'll be out of a job soon. If you haven't decided where to go…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a half-smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not consider sailing with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin looked surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you… inviting me to join the Straw Hat Pirates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm only the Vice Captain,\" he replied coolly. \"It's the Captain who decides who gets to join. But I think he'll welcome a talented archaeologist like yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin smiled bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I board your ship… I'll bring danger to all of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know,\" Shirogai said without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"CP9, CP0, Marine Headquarters, even all three Admirals might chase you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cobra's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was this woman to warrant such pursuit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin stared at Shirogai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…You really do understand the risks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he passed her, supporting the king, Shirogai leaned in and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Believe me—if that happens, we won't be the ones in danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked toward the corridor, his voice echoing behind him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Robin, we'll talk again once we're aboard the ship!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin stood silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His power… she'd felt it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this man's confidence. It wasn't arrogance. It was certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he disappeared, the arms restraining her vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two crimson, scale-patterned petals drifted through the air, settling into the dust of the tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a terrifying ability… truly worthy of the name \"Plunderer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her gaze to the poneglyph that spoke of Pluton and let out a soft sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she wanted was the truth behind the Void Century… but too many enemies stood in her path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In twenty years of betrayal, she had learned to betray others first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was no longer the naive girl she once was—now a masterful, calculating spy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could someone like her… really be invited onto a ship again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she walked down the shadowed corridor, a bitter smile crossed her lips—tinged with the smallest trace of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>__\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My patreon link : patreon.com\u002FZphyr_\u003C\u002Fp>",1106,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.996Z",1,"novelbin.me","13e2af42936f1716b13768109994ebe1bdb4e7065b56c394e9de2f44d0d551f5","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-118","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-116",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
