Within it, oxygen flowed where Shirogai directed, delivering life back into the unconscious body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chopper's eyes lit up with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai! It's working!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoo…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the sudden influx of oxygen, Cricket's ragged breathing quickly stabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, it will hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's cold gaze sharpened. The smoke pierced deeper, invading Cricket's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cricket's body convulsed violently, eyelids twitching in the throes of awakening. His companions tightened their grips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! He's waking up!\" Chopper cried in panic, pressing down on the patient's legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He won't wake.\" Shirogai's voice was calm, absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the smoke, he extracted gases laced with anesthetic properties and forced them into Cricket's lungs. The man's violent tremors softened, then faded into unconscious stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a seamless fusion of medical mastery and Devil Fruit ability. With precision rivaling the Ope-Ope no Mi, Shirogai purged the air bubbles from Cricket's body, wrapping them in wisps of smoke before expelling them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cricket's breathing steadied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shirogai's attention shifted. He lifted his right hand and whispered coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Freeze.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Master-level Observation Haki foresaw the chaos before it came—Shoujou and Masira, charging inside in a storm of anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath their feet iced over in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's freezing again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frost crawled up their bodies, locking them in place. In moments, they stood as statues of ice, fear carved into their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Shirogai's left hand remained smoke. Two powers wielded at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa!\" Luffy's eyes widened. \"Shirogai, you can use two Devil Fruit abilities at once now?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" His tone was calm, unbothered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji's cigarette flared, his brows furrowing in disbelief. \"With that kind of ability, you'd be unstoppable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no interest in being invincible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro's lips curled in a grin of challenge. \"So this is the confidence you had to fight two Admirals at once? We should cross swords sometime. I want to test how strong you've really become.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai let the smoke disperse, his hand reforming. His expression was detached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. Back then, I couldn't wield two abilities at the same time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew froze, stunned. He had clashed evenly with two Admirals without that advantage. Now… what kind of monster stood before them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp's jaw slackened. \"So amazing! If only I had half of your skill…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's cold gaze fell on him, lips curling into an icy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Usopp, I'll help you grow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shiver raced down Usopp's spine. He stammered, backing away. \"N-no need! I'm fine just like this. In fact, I think I suddenly caught an illness… the type that'll kill me if you train me…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's gaze swept across the crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not just Usopp. All of you will grow stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chilling smile froze the room. The air itself seemed to drop in temperature. Even Zoro's fighting spirit dimmed, sensing the danger behind those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Danger… the danger of death…\" he muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Luffy grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe! Alright!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Cricket sat upright on the bed, a cigarette between his lips. His eyes softened as he looked at the Straw Hats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you save me? I owe you my thanks. At first, I thought you were just more scoundrels after gold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gold?!\" Nami's eyes lit up instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down!\" Usopp snapped. \"Don't even think about it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cricket chuckled, shaking his head. \"Your crew… they're stronger than any pirates I've seen. Some of you possess strength I can't even imagine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze slid past them to the Ice Throne outside, where Shirogai sat in silent meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me what you want to know. If I can answer, I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy stepped forward eagerly. \"Old man! We want to go to Sky Island! Can you tell us how?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sky Island?\" Cricket's hands trembled. Then, as if something burst inside him, he threw back his head and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami clenched her fists. \"Is this funny to you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memories of Mock Town stung in her chest—their laughter, their scorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha… you must have been mocked before.\" Cricket finally calmed, eyes shining with admiration. \"Yet even after that, you still believe. That's what's truly amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mockery doesn't matter!\" Luffy's eyes burned with determination. \"I just want to know—is it real? Is Sky Island real?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cricket exhaled smoke, his tone heavy. \"I don't know. But someone once believed. Unfortunately, he was branded a liar. His descendants… live under that shadow forever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liar…\" Luffy's gaze flickered to Usopp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idiot!\" Usopp snapped, flustered. \"He's not talking about me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, thawed and shivering, Shoujou and Masira whispered nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shoujou… you weren't lying? That's him? The pirate who refused to become a Shichibukai?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou swallowed hard, glancing at the silent figure on the Ice Throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ooh-chi-chi! That's what his crew said. If he fought Admiral Kizaru and survived… it has to be true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Masira's eyes filled with awe. \"A pirate who defied an Admiral and rejected the government's offer… We're witnessing a legend in the making.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_____\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want early access to chapters, check out my Patreon: Patreon.com\u002FZphyr\u003C\u002Fp>",878,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.997Z",1,"novelbin.me","2d0f83df7a9919495f2bc214ac6c2d2b23b0631f45fd3a7f750978b79ffce90f","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-192","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-190",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
