He hadn't even noticed when it began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first words from this seemingly harmless man sent a cold sweat trickling down Teach's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Teach. I've been waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's smile widened as he stared directly at the grinning Blackbeard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, how useful is that Dark-Dark Fruit of yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teach's heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How does he know I ate the Yami Yami no Mi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't think for a second that his own crew had betrayed him. Instead, one chilling thought crept into his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this 'Plunderer' Shirogai have some way of peering into Devil Fruit powers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that very moment, the system's voice chimed inside Shirogai's head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host observed: The user of the Dark-Dark Fruit. Understood: Wields infinite gravity and space like a black hole, and possesses the ability to nullify other Devil Fruit powers.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host observed: A person with the special constitution of a Chimera Hybrid. Understood: Chimera Hybrid.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's grin sharpened as he studied Blackbeard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I thought, your body's not normal either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Burgess, Doc Q, and Van Auger spotted their captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces lit up as though salvation had finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how did these four end up together? And why were they in this bar gambling with Fishmen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all went back about ten minutes earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, under the eyes of countless onlookers, Shirogai had floored Burgess with a single punch. Without a word, he dragged the unconscious man by one leg, with Van Auger trailing behind silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wandered through the streets, seemingly aimless, until they stumbled upon Doc Q, who was hawking apples at a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doc Q, I've been looking for you,\" Shirogai said cheerfully, snatching an apple straight from the basket and biting into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doc Q froze, staring at Van Auger in disbelief. Isn't this the man Captain wanted us to capture? And he just… delivered himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Van Auger only looked back blankly. He had already given up trying to make sense of Shirogai's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apple exploded in Shirogai's mouth, flames and smoke bursting outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, cough—hahaha…\" Doc Q chuckled hoarsely, face flushing with sick delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your luck is really bad…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred million Berries, Doc Q thought, were as good as his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, impossibly, all the fire and smoke collapsed inward, sucked straight into Shirogai's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough… cough… what?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Doc Q's horror, Shirogai calmly chewed the remains, swallowed, and let out a casual burp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Burp. Strong flavor. Got any more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Doc Q could stop him, Shirogai grabbed another apple. Another explosion. Another effortless swallow. Then another. And another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, every last apple in Doc Q's basket was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough… my apples…\" Doc Q croaked, watching in despair. He felt utterly humiliated. I'm not a peddler, damn it. Can you at least pay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The endless explosions even stirred Burgess awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh… my head.\" He staggered up, rubbing his mask, and froze at the sight of Shirogai eating explosives like snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Am I dreaming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three exchanged uneasy glances. For the first time, they wondered if even with their captain, they could deal with this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, three burly Fishman pirates swaggered out of the bar, eyeing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oi, you humans! Who said you could stand here?\" one sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Block the road of the Three Fishman Maniacs, and you pay with your lives!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! You'll gamble with us. Loser drinks, winner takes all. And the loser pays the tab!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai smiled easily. \"Fine. Lead the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others had no choice but to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the bar became Shirogai's stage. Every time he rolled the dice, his number was just barely higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've got good luck, human,\" one Fishman growled, frustration building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what tricks they pulled, Shirogai always rolled slightly better, until their confidence turned to despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheating! You're cheating!\" the fattest of them roared, slamming his hand on Shirogai's dice cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't touch,\" Shirogai said calmly, pressing back with just one finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fishman strained, veins bulging, but no matter how much force he used, he couldn't budge Shirogai's finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear spread across his face. He's a monster in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The octopus Fishman tried next, shaking eight dice cups with dizzying skill. He rolled five sixes, an unbeatable spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shirogai simply crushed one die between his fingers and rolled it—showing half of a six, making his score just slightly higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're amazing, sir!\" the octopus Fishman blurted, admiration spilling out despite himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zehahahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doors slammed open, and Blackbeard entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he appeared, the uneasy alliance dissolved. Burgess, Doc Q, and Van Auger pushed through the crowd to his side, glaring at Shirogai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, this man's dangerous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fishmen wisely paid their tab and fled. The rest of the bar emptied fast, leaving only the trembling owner and the five men locked in a standoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teach.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai leaned back in his chair, completely relaxed. His smile hadn't wavered once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to discuss something with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard sat across from him, eyes burning with anticipation. His laugh echoed like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zehahahaha! Shirogai Yamikuro, 'The Plunderer'! Do you have any last words before I end you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",865,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.997Z",1,"novelbin.me","174d05597b9df6437b34f16b4896c9a82994855fd1c2b089077842e31ee71cde","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-175","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-173",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
