Fight back! Just beat them already!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't understand what was going on in their minds. Why weren't they resisting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai! Hurry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart prayed desperately for Shirogai to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were here, he would never let his comrades be humiliated like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fight back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarquiss sneered as he glanced at Nami.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! Useless. Your crew knows they're too weak to challenge us. They don't dare fight back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He licked his lips and stepped toward her, eyes gleaming with malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, that kind of cowardice saves lives. And you, little lady, you look very nice…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami instinctively backed away, clutching the hat tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you planning?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's voice cut in, low but firm.

That gaze…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sarquiss! What's wrong with you? Did you lose your nerve over that woman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp voice of his companion, Lily, jolted him back. She shoved him, and he stumbled, gasping as though waking from a nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He staggered backward, eyes darting around the tavern. No monsters. No phantom beast glaring at him. Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily scowled at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't tell me you actually want that woman.

Just… a little drunk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But deep down, he knew better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever that sensation had been, it was real. And if he touched that woman, something disastrous would follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those eyes… so terrifying…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook as though feverish, leaving Lily staring at him in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the mockery of Luffy and Zoro continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The navigator of the Bellamy Pirates sneered, pointing at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Pirate Captain who doesn't fight back… you've brought shame to the very idea of pirates!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their fighter, Roux, scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The World Government must be swimming in riches. Even trash like you is worth thirty million Berries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bar, Bellamy tilted his head back, drinking deeply before slamming the bottle down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pathetic. To stand there beaten, with no fight left, calling it 'endurance.' That's your way of surviving?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wiped his chin with the back of his hand, then grinned at them with contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weak, spineless fools who cling to dreams they'll never reach. That's all you are!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His crew howled with laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bellamy, you're right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! Just a pair of worthless dreamers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bellamy grabbed another bottle and drank, then let out a disappointed sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really thought a man worth thirty million Berries would be someone. Guess I was wrong. Oh, right…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned wickedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard you've got someone on your crew with a bounty of one hundred million Berries?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tavern went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirates froze, laughter caught in their throats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Did I hear wrong?\" one slurred nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bellamy said one hundred million Berries…\" another whispered, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces went pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! We were mocking them! What if that monster comes back for revenge?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bellamy snorted in disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idiots! You think a captain who doesn't even fight back could have a crewmate worth that much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His underling chimed in, sneering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Must've been a mistake by the Marines. Added an extra zero. That guy's probably nothing but a fraud!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirates sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, that makes sense. For a moment I thought—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bellamy cut him off with a slam of his boot as he swaggered toward Luffy and Zoro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a swig of wine, swished it in his mouth, and spat it full into their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alcohol splattered across them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you say your crewmate—Shirogai Yamikuro—the so-called Plunderer, fought Admiral Kizaru one-on-one?\" Bellamy mocked with a sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let him come back here. Let him reclaim your crew's dignity himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy raised his head slowly, eyes calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bellamy twisted his face mockingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't tell me a pirate worth a hundred million, who dares fight an Admiral, would be too scared to fight me, Hyena Bellamy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room exploded with laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha! A rookie against an Admiral? What a joke!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way that's real!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if it was, he wouldn't compare to an Admiral's power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, a bunch of nobodies who don't know their place!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bellamy spat once more at Luffy, then waved lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Throw them out. They're an eyesore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of his men rushed forward, booting Luffy and Zoro through the doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bellamy sat back on his stool, a cruel grin spreading across his face as he glanced at Nami.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woman, take those two cowards and leave. Save them while they still breathe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami's teeth clenched as she pulled her friends out of the tavern, fury burning in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>",886,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.997Z",1,"novelbin.me","8b3dfce151b46c523cef392789008fbe296f5e1bbdbf874040ce780dfa162b36","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-173","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-171",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
