To reach Sky Island, we have to ride the Knock-Up Stream?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp stared wide-eyed at Mont Blanc Cricket, his jaw nearly dropping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the Going Merry has already taken a lot of damage! How can it possibly survive such an impact?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cricket, with a cigarette hanging from his lips, cast a glance at the small ship resting by the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, this vessel looks fragile. It'll need reinforcement. Don't worry, Shoujou and Masira will help you patch her up before tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou laughed loudly, his voice echoing across the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ooh-wee-wee! Leave it to us! When we reach Sky Island together, make sure you lend us a hand too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Masira tossed his long hair dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That ship is in rough shape, but nothing we can't handle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait—Uncle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami covered her face in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the Going Merry breaks apart during the Knock-Up Stream, what'll happen to us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cricket exhaled a puff of smoke and replied bluntly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If your luck is bad, you'll die painfully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Nami could recover, he continued in the same calm tone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If your luck is good, you'll die a bit quicker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's still dying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami nearly burst into tears, turning to Luffy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luffy, please! If we stay here for just a few days, our Log Pose will reset, and we can sail to the next island instead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luffy turned away, puffing out his cheeks stubbornly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! I'm going to Sky Island, no matter what!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami's eyes lit up with another argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, you said the Knock-Up Stream happens at set times, right? By then our Log Pose will already point to the next island!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly!\" Usopp chimed in eagerly. \"There's no rush! You don't even know when the next one will happen, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cricket calmly opened his travel bag inside the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow noon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-what?! Tomorrow noon?!\" Usopp stammered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then… then we can actually reach Sky Island tomorrow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's grin spread wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe! That's perfect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cricket adjusted his things indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether you go or not is your choice. But I will ride the Knock-Up Stream tomorrow. I must see with my own eyes if the missing half of Jaya rests on Sky Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a startled cry broke the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chopper pointed in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, look! Shirogai has turned into an egg!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew rushed outside. Where Shirogai's ice throne once stood, there was now a massive, two-meter-tall egg of pure ice-blue crystal. Shirogai was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So big!\" Luffy exclaimed, touching the icy surface. \"Shirogai, are you inside—ow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his finger brushed the shell, a surge of freezing energy erupted, spreading instantly across his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's entire arm froze solid in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My hand!\" he shouted, stumbling back as frost spread across half his body. He yanked himself free just before the ice could claim him completely, but collapsed shivering on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-h-help me! It's so cold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji, cigarette trembling at his lips, widened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What terrifying power…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luffy, don't move! I'll treat you!\" Chopper rushed forward, shifting into his human form. With Sanji's help, he carried the half-frozen captain toward Cricket's house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle! Can we use your bathroom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead,\" Cricket replied indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Zoro crossed his arms, staring calmly at the strange egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to panic. Shirogai is probably undergoing some kind of training. His level is way beyond ours. We don't need to worry about him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But… when will he come out?\" Usopp asked nervously, circling the egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll decide about Sky Island after he does,\" Nami said with relief, secretly hoping Shirogai would stay cocooned for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro leaned back against the wall, holding his swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter how long it takes, we'll wait. But the question is—do we trust this uncle and his crew to fix our ship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\" Usopp cried. \"Think about it! He wants to help us reinforce the Merry, told us when the Knock-Up Stream is coming, and even insists on going with us! Doesn't that sound suspicious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou and Masira both glared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ooh-wee-wee! Watch your mouth, long-nose!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you accusing us of?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cricket stepped forward, brushing past Usopp with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being cautious is wise. But I'm glad to meet people who dare to chase their dreams. I never doubt that fools can achieve the impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp froze, caught between suspicion and the sincerity in Cricket's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cricket chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you agree, let us know quickly. Reinforcing three ships in one night isn't easy. You all can rest in my house while we work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to his companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, we'll give their ship some wings. No need to dive for salvage anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoujou and Masira brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! Yes, old man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the ice egg, Shirogai floated with his eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal ice-blue figure coiled around him in the darkness of his inner world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Submit to me. Together, we'll freeze the seas and turn the world into our domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its voice rumbled like an ancient god, heavy and cold. The form of a vast serpent, its body spanning the horizon, glared down with eyes like frozen moons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's lips curved into a sharp grin. His eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh. So this is the so-called will of the Devil Fruit? Trying to parasitize me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared boldly at the serpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting. Even the system replicated a consciousness for the fruit. But you've chosen the wrong host.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Serpent hissed, coiling tighter around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human, obey me! Together we'll ascend to godhood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's grin widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Godhood? You dare offer me scraps when the world itself is mine to plunder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>",939,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.997Z",1,"novelbin.me","2c426385507c2bcd439b490c4d63cbd90ae88b873f829a95818ea6807e96c5e5","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-195","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-193",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
