If there isn't a single clue, it must mean someone intentionally erased his background. Could Shirogai Yamikuro be a covert agent planted by the World Government?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon responded calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sabo, don't draw conclusions without enough information. Shirogai gives off a strange feeling. I'm curious about his background because I want to understand what kind of country can produce someone with such calm strength and openness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sabo's interest was piqued on the other end of the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To earn that kind of praise from you, Commander... he must be something else. If you're that curious, why not meet him directly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon let out a hearty laugh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was planning to, but during his fight with Smoker, I overheard something interesting through the wind. Shirogai Yamikuro claimed to have eaten a Devil Fruit called the [Talent Talent Fruit]. According to him, he can simulate other users' abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sabo was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He can mimic Devil Fruit powers? Is there even such an ability? I've never seen that Devil Fruit recorded anywhere!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon's tone held intrigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't either. If something like the [Talent Talent Fruit] existed before, there would be records of it. But there are none.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think he's lying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. I saw it with my own eyes. He copied Smoker's Smoke Smoke Fruit, but the version he used was even more refined than Smoker's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sabo was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mimic ability stronger than the original? That's absurd…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon remembered the battle vividly. His voice grew serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're underestimating it. The [Talent Talent Fruit] is beyond what most can comprehend. Shirogai is a walking nightmare for Devil Fruit users. He had just seen the Smoke ability for the first time and already surpassed Smoker's years of experience with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone with a weak mind would've broken from that kind of defeat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sabo inhaled sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With that kind of power, Shirogai will rise fast in the Grand Line.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon's expression returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why I won't meet him just yet. If he's an enemy, and he mimics my ability... it would become problematic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sabo imagined a threat with Dragon's wind-based powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yikes…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been raised by Dragon, Sabo fully understood the weight of those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Until we learn what he's after, I won't approach him. You'll handle making contact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Commander. Leave it to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, aboard a Marine ship…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker sat alone on the deck, drenched in silence. Speaking into his Den Den Mushi, his tone was bitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aokiji, he made me feel the same helplessness I feel when facing you. You monsters… You don't even try, and yet you surpass everything I struggle to achieve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lazy voice responded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't even lift a finger, and you're already haunted by my image?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker's voice was low and serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not just you. But people like you and him—make people like me look pathetic. You cruise through obstacles we break ourselves trying to overcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This new Pirate really rattled you, huh? He must be quite the character.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't understand,\" Smoker growled. \"He copied my power, the Smoke Smoke Fruit—something I've trained years to master—and wielded it better than I ever could, after just seeing it once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, calming his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not letting that happen again. I've been stagnant too long. It's time I push myself harder. Next time we meet, I won't let him play with my power like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji yawned lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you're abandoning Loguetown just to chase a new Pirate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker replied firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. I want a bounty issued in the name of Marine Headquarters for Shirogai Yamikuro.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bounty already? For a newcomer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Smoker said resolutely. \"To warn other Marines not to confront him carelessly. His bounty should be set at the level of a Shichibukai, so lower-ranked officers understand the threat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji's voice lost its usual lethargy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want his first bounty to rival the Warlords?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker's tone was unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He has that level of strength—and more. He's shown signs of using Conqueror's Haki, something extremely rare. He's not a typical Pirate. We must take him seriously from the beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sound terrified. The higher-ups won't like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they had seen what I saw,\" Smoker snapped, \"they'd be more scared than I am. He can't be judged by normal standards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji sighed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're that convinced, I'll issue the bounty in the name of an Admiral. But won't it draw more attention to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone this powerful wouldn't stay anonymous for long. I'm just accelerating the inevitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji laid back down and grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. I'll authorize it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoker's voice grew firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One more thing. I have the perfect title for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? A title already?\" Aokiji sounded amused. \"You're really invested in this guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the jab, Smoker's mind drifted to the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When he used my power, it felt like it belonged to him. The way he manipulated it, refined it... it made me feel like I had stolen it from him, not the other way around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder rumbled in the skies above the Marine ship, snapping Smoker from his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Plunderer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marine Headquarters issued a brand-new bounty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the poster, a white-robed Pirate stood confidently, dual swords at his side, smiling at the camera with charm and ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Plunderer – Shirogai Yamikuro\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bounty: 100,000,000 Berries\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Threat Level: Extreme\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimes: Defeated Marine Captain 'White Hunter' Smoker in Loguetown, currently serving as the Vice Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unheard-of bounty for a newcomer sent shockwaves across the seas, shaking the Pirate world to its core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Send Powerstones for bonus Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>",1002,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.648Z",1,"novelbin.me","b32a2e76ea5c1ee580518ff3723eb25379c3764c36d12aaa191363c71802f253","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-248","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-14",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
