Prepare for salvage! Any sunken ship in these waters is ours!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bow, a towering man with a muscular frame waved his fists, rallying his crew. He wore yellow overalls, earplugs, and had an unmistakably monkey-like appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Shoujou, \"The Salvage King,\" captain of the Shoujou Pirates, with a 23 million Berries bounty on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spotting the wreck ahead still afloat, Shoujou's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Didn't sink this time? Saves us a lot of work! Ugh, zhi zhi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his gaze fell on the strange white blocks keeping the wreck above water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are those things? They're actually holding it up… weird!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His crew echoed his tone, mimicking his monkey-like calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, zhi zhi! Captain, look! There's already a pirate ship here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou had already noticed the Going Merry but dismissed it as a small-time crew not worth worrying about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That changed when he spotted the massive treasure chest on its deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! What do you think you're doing? This is our territory! All salvage here belongs to me!\" he roared, flexing his thick arms. \"You haven't taken anything yet, have you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Merry's deck, Shirogai glanced at the chest and smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, looks like we've been noticed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou's expression darkened. \"So you did get here first. That's my wreck! Hand over what you found, or I won't be polite! Ugh, zhi zhi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy leaned over the rail. \"Wow! You look just like an ape!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou froze, his expression turning oddly shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you just call me ape-handsome? You think I'm good-looking? Well… just so-so! Ugh, zhi zhi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His crew exchanged puzzled looks. Does he really think being compared to an ape is a compliment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou pointed at the chest. \"Fine, I'll overlook your trespass… but I want to see what's inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without warning, he bent his legs and launched himself in a huge arc, landing with a thunderous bang on the Merry's deck. The wood groaned under his weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro's hand went to his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji's cigarette tip glowed hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's grin faded into something serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Careful! Don't break our ship!\" Usopp yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou covered his mouth shyly. \"Oh, you! I'm not that ape-handsome you say! Ugh, zhi zhi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who's praising you?!\" Usopp snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou strode up to the chest. \"Let's see it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp casually lifted the lid, revealing the false layer of stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a bunch of useless rocks. Thought it was treasure, but nope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou peered inside, disappointed. \"Huh. Just stones?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp grinned inwardly. Hook, line, and sinker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the chest—too quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami, Robin, and Sanji all felt their stomachs drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Shoujou's suspicion flared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A box of stones… and you shut it that fast? Trying to fool me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp feigned innocence. \"Why would I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shoujou stroked his chin. \"The old man once told me—ancient pirates sometimes hid treasure under stones…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp froze. This ape-looking guy's actually sharp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou reached for the chest—only to have his arm kicked aside by Sanji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep your filthy hands off Nami-san's treasure, you damn ape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You dare hit me?!\" Shoujou blocked, his strength forcing Sanji back a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beating his chest, he laughed, \"Ahahaha! I knew it! There's treasure under there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew dropped the act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is ours,\" Luffy said coldly. \"Finders keepers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro's fingers curled around his sword hilt. \"Want me to sink his ship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami's grip tightened on her Weather Wand. \"No one touches my gold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Shirogai's Observation Haki screamed a warning—danger was seconds away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two blazing beams of reddish-yellow light ripped across the water, aimed at both ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's eyes narrowed. \"It really is you… Kizaru.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin's face paled. \"Kizaru? As in Admiral Kizaru?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry,\" Shirogai said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he shot into the air, six massive black wings bursting from his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Bird-Bird Fruit: Falcon Form] · Modified Fourth Form: [Six-Winged Fallen Angel]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou stared, momentarily unsettled. \"A Devil Fruit user, huh? Not that I'm afraid! Ugh, zhi zhi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai smirked. \"Your Observation Haki's lagging, Kizaru.\" Then, to Shoujou: \"How about a deal? I save your crew, you ferry mine to Jaya Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll take that as a yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Shoujou could reply, the beams were almost upon them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With blinding speed, Shirogai intercepted both blasts, his talon-like hands crushing the light itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion rocked the sea, sending waves crashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off, aboard a Marine warship, the crew watched in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Admiral Kizaru fired!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kizaru, hands in his pockets, chuckled lazily. \"Oh my, oh my~~ He actually intercepted my attack head-on… quite frightening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patreon.com\u002FZphyr_\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advanced chapters available on patreon.\u003C\u002Fp>",812,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.996Z",1,"novelbin.me","40c23e403814515dfc64b6ae07f435812d70479c2d24cb96eec42424c11d1682","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-149","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-147",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
