It soothes inner pain and heals wounds that conventional means can't touch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocus frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That doesn't sound like a combat-oriented ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai simply smiled, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy, true to form, burst out enthusiastically,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai ate the Talent Fruit! He can replicate the Devil Fruits he's seen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocus's eyes widened in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? There's a Devil Fruit that powerful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having once sailed with the Pirate King Roger himself, Crocus had seen many Devil Fruits in action—but never anything like the Talent Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp threw his arm around Shirogai's shoulders, grinning broadly as he patted him on the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awesome, right?! Shirogai's our Vice Captain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one on the crew objected. In fact, they all seemed to have silently accepted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy had never formally declared it, but everyone had long acknowledged Shirogai's position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he wasn't just strong—he was far too strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't just formidable in battle; his knowledge spanned every aspect of piracy, navigation, combat, and Devil Fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his guidance, every crew member was improving—learning new techniques, refining their Haki, and broadening their horizons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro and Sanji especially understood this well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy, however, received little instruction from Shirogai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, Shirogai had taught him the fundamentals of [Observation Haki], and [Armament Haki].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro had once asked him why he didn't help Luffy develop his Gum-Gum Fruit powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's answer had been calm and resolute:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luffy's not meant for strict training. He's a born fighter. He learns through battle, by pushing his limits and risking it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I guided him, I'd hold back at the critical moment. I'd always leave him a way out. But real battles don't come with safety nets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he gets used to having an escape route, he'll subconsciously expect one when there isn't any. That's how you die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy had no complaints. He still occasionally dragged Shirogai into trying fusion techniques with his Gum-Gum powers, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocus gave a small nod of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect you to have such a rare ability. I have a feeling I'll be reading about you in the papers soon enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp, eager to impress, pulled out a crumpled wanted poster from his bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai already has a bounty of 100 million Berries!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocus looked at the poster, unimpressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"100 million? You've certainly caught some attention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a veteran like Crocus, that number was still small. He had faced pirates with far higher bounties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he didn't know was—this was Shirogai's first bounty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for a first bounty, it was record-breaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door above Laboon's stomach burst open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two strange figures in green, armed with personal launchers, dropped down into the acid lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You old geezer! This whale's done for!\" one of them shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You won't stop us!\" sneered the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They glared at Crocus with hostile eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's blast a hole through this whale's gut! Mr. 9, ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman with a sky-blue ponytail and odd suspenders raised her cannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Wednesday, I'm ready!\" replied a man in a green suit, sporting a crown and a ridiculous mustache shaped like the number 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop it, you scum!\" Crocus roared, eyes red behind his glasses. \"You won't harm Laboon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too late, old man!\" Miss Wednesday sneered and began her countdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three… Two… One… FIRE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay baby, FIRE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two cannonballs launched toward the roof of Laboon's stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they detonated, Laboon would be seriously wounded—perhaps even die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You filthy cowards!\" Crocus leapt high, attempting to intercept them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But age had dulled him. He misjudged the timing by a split second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cannonballs soared upward, far beyond his reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. 9, we did it!\" Miss Wednesday grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll be heroes back at Whiskey Peak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dreamed of carving up the whale and feeding their town for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—they noticed something strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. 9?\" Miss Wednesday blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those cannonballs… are falling toward us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. 9's eyes widened. \"Y-Yeah… they're heading back down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stared at each other for a moment—then dove into the acid sea in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cannonballs exploded on the platform they had just vacated, splintering the structure but leaving Laboon unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two clambered back aboard the ship, clothes hissing as the acid began to corrode the fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had no time to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of pirates was waiting, gazes cold and unfriendly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't come near us!\" Mr. 9 shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Wednesday… they're pirates!\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Straw Hats had been deeply moved by Laboon's story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these two try to kill the whale filled them with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy clenched his fists, his voice cold:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You tried to kill Laboon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want me to slice them up?\" Zoro asked, unsheathing his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear lady,\" Sanji said calmly, laying his coat over Miss Wednesday's shoulders. \"Don't catch a cold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his eyes were as sharp as knives, focused on Mr. 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You scumbags!\" Nami snapped, visibly furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp turned to Shirogai, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai… was that your power just now? Did you throw the cannonballs back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai gave a small nod and made a grasping motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two transparent hands shimmered into view over his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.
