You used my Gum-Gum powers! Rubber doesn't take damage like that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected from our Captain—sharp as ever,\" Shirogai replied with a faint smirk, then turned to the stunned Robin. \"Miss Robin, I think there's been a misunderstanding. I'm not with the World Government. I'm just a humble pirate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates is Monkey D. Luffy,\" Robin said, her gaze resting on Shirogai's face. He did look familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're... the new pirate with a 100 million Berries bounty. Vice-Captain of the Straw Hats... 'The Plunderer' Shirogai?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai gave a slight bow, calm and composed. \"That's me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize. What happened earlier was my own carelessness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin steadied her breathing, not pressing further about how he knew her identity. Instead, she turned and tossed something to Vivi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi caught it, confused. \"An Eternal Pose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin spoke clearly. \"Your next destination is Small Garden. I was going to warn you—it's dangerous. Even Baroque Works treads carefully there. I thought you might prefer to use this Pose to detour somewhere safer... but now, I think you're fully capable of handling what's ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss All Sunday…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi stared at the Eternal Pose in her hands, her thoughts jumbled. Was this woman truly an enemy, or was there more to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd destroyed Igaram's ship, yet now she was worried about their survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin turned toward Luffy. \"You must be Captain Monkey D. Luffy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could react, the Straw Hat on Luffy's head floated into Robin's hand. She gently placed it over her cowboy hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai watched, lips curving in amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Robin… once you've worn that hat, it's already decided. You'll be part of this crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! That's my hat! Give it back!\" Luffy shouted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's fingers moved slightly. In the next moment, the Straw Hat spun upward, lifted by an unseen force, and landed gently back on Luffy's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy clutched it protectively. \"Phew... don't mess with my treasure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin froze. She'd felt something strange. A short arm had briefly bloomed from her own shoulder—an ability exclusive to her Hana Hana no Mi—and tossed the hat back. It disappeared instantly, leaving behind only a drifting red petal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So... that's why they call him 'The Plunderer'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can use others Devil Fruit abilities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sharp instincts quickly pieced it together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've made a fool of myself,\" Robin said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning casually against the mast, Shirogai offered a quiet smile. \"It happens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin shook her head slightly, then exhaled. \"Heh. What a surprising man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi suddenly realized the Eternal Pose in her hand was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy crushed the Eternal Pose in his hand, glaring at Robin. \"You destroyed Igaram's ship. Our course isn't yours to decide!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin turned back with a faint smile. \"Is that so? That's a shame. I don't dislike any of you. Until next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't come back! I hate you!\" Luffy shouted, sticking his tongue out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin walked gracefully to the edge of the Going Merry, paused, and scanned the crew one last time. Her gaze lingered on Shirogai and Luffy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she leapt overboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She jumped into the sea?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's not… trying to drown, is she?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone rushed to the ship's edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spotted Robin standing atop a massive sea turtle's shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The turtle—wearing a matching cowboy hat—paddled calmly away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! Why did you all just let her go? She's the one who attacked Vivi's companion!\" Nami shouted, furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy lay flat on the deck after being smacked by Nami's full force. \"She seemed pretty reasonable...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro rubbed his bruised head. \"She only got serious when she thought Shirogai was a threat. Other than that, she wasn't hostile.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji, hearts in his eyes despite the beatings, declared, \"Miss Nami, she was just too elegant and beautiful! I could never hit a lady like that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami puffed her cheeks, exasperated. \"And you, Shirogai! She literally tried to kill you and you didn't fight back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai stretched his arms and yawned, already walking toward the cabin. \"It was just a girl throwing a tantrum. Not worth my time. Wake me if anything important happens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami sighed and walked over to Vivi. \"I swear, they're all useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp, standing forgotten nearby, blinked blankly into the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Nami hadn't scolded him. He felt oddly left out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caw!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Duck Runner flapped his wings, resting on Usopp's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp's depression deepened. \"Even the duck wasn't scolded…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's voice rang out again. \"Next up is Small Garden, huh? Sounds fun! Sanji, I'm hungry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm hungry too!\" Usopp chimed in immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji sighed. \"Alright, alright. Good thing Shirogai got me that locked fridge. Otherwise, you two would've eaten everything already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro was fast asleep on the deck, a snot bubble rising and falling with each breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy and Usopp snuck up, poked it with a needle, and burst it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro roared and grabbed his sword, chasing them around the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi giggled quietly. \"Is your ship always this… chaotic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami gave her a tired look. \"You haven't even seen them sparring. Zoro, Shirogai, and Sanji constantly fight during the day. Usopp's usually cheering, and Luffy's just yelling whatever comes to mind. It's exhausting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi smiled sincerely. \"Your crew has such a warm atmosphere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai, haven't you caught anything yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji emerged from the kitchen, surprised. Shirogai was usually skilled at fishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai turned, gesturing toward an empty bucket. \"Our dear Captain ate all the bait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what are you using now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai lifted the line to reveal his bait—Luffy, tied to the end of the hook and dangling above the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulled up from the water, Luffy flailed. \"Sanji! Save me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji glanced at him, then shrugged. \"Keep at it. Call me if you catch something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai chuckled, lowering Luffy—still gagged and wriggling—back into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bubbles rose from the surface, followed by muffled cries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gurgle (Help!) Waa (I)... waa waa (won't eat) bait again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Become a patron to get access to chapters in advance on all my works (9 Fanfictions & 1 Novel)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patreon.com\u002FZphyr_\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.648Z",1,"novelbin.me","ceb00b93f0e4825845439ac3d9830e05f1e1fb5135afa17bd99cb8968604270f","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-32","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-30",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
