Luffy, unfortunately, lacked that level of discipline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once submerged, he became completely helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't believe Luffy actually lured a fish,\" Shirogai muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one swift motion, he yanked the soggy, dazed Luffy out of the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gurgle... gurgle...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy hit the deck like a sack of waterlogged meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>POOF!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive dolphin—easily five times the size of the Going Merry—burst from the ocean behind him, chasing its \"bait\" with hungry glee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chirp!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dolphin hovered mid-air for a moment, casting a dark shadow over the ship, before plunging downward—straight toward the Merry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're doomed!\" Usopp screamed from the helm, practically leaving his body in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Easy, little guy... don't be so excited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai had already anticipated the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dissolved into black mist, reforming mid-air as a towering smoke giant. With ease, he caught the dolphin and flung it away from the ship with a single sweep of his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can't let you eat our Captain. Go find something else for lunch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dolphin spun mid-air before splashing into the sea with a mighty crash. It surfaced again for one last glance at Luffy, chirped sadly, then disappeared into the deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy shivered, soaking wet, as he pulled himself up from the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"C-Cold... I'm freezing! Shirogai, I'm starving!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was he supposed to do about the captain he chose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how foolish Luffy could be, he had to be taken care of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hang tight, I'll grill you some fish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai walked to the ship's edge. Closing his eyes, he activated his Observation Haki. In a moment, he flung two wind blades into the water with surgical precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, several giant swordfish—cleanly sliced in half—floated to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh-ho! Shirogai, you're amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stars sparkled in Luffy's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew exactly how to get more out of Shirogai: relentless praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy had already figured out Shirogai's soft spot. Flattery worked wonders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai reached out and lifted the swordfish onto the Merry. With a quick switch to his Bomb Fruit power, he launched tiny flame pellets, evenly grilling the fish as they spun mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(A\u002FN: He isn't using his 'Boogers' to make the explosion, That'd be hella disgusting)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, a savory aroma wafted through the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The perfectly roasted swordfish landed in Luffy's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe! Smells amazing! I'm digging in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the heat, Luffy chomped down like a starved animal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch the bones,\" Shirogai reminded, already leaning back into the armrest, line cast again, eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn't asleep. He was meditating—simulating combat scenarios in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the bow, Nami suddenly shouted with delight, \"Land ahead! The Log Pose stopped shaking! We've reached Small Garden!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy leapt up, running to the bow and sitting on the Merry's figurehead, his eyes wide with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, it's the second island we've reached on the Grand Line!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone gathered forward, gazing at the misty silhouette of Small Garden rising in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji lit a cigarette, smiling. \"Wonder what kind of prey lives here. Hope it's tasty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro rested one hand on Yubashiri's hilt, eager. \"Hopefully something worth fighting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp struck a pose on the railing. \"Heh, I, Usopp the Great Hero, proudly arrive on yet another Grand Line island!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai chuckled softly. \"Yeah... this island is going to be interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew what was waiting—but watching it as a fan and living it firsthand were two different experiences entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Merry cruised into the shallow harbor of Small Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gaa, gaa...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange animal cries echoed from the dense jungle beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami looked around, clearly uneasy. \"This place doesn't match the name at all. There's nothing small or cute about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi added cautiously, \"It looks untouched. Like it's stuck in the ancient past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy remained ecstatic. \"Woohoo! Zoro, find a place to dock! I'm going exploring!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overhead, a massive Archaeopteryx swooped down, talons aimed at Sanji's shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sanji sidestepped smoothly and glared. \"Oi, damn bird! Next time I'm roasting you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami, Usopp, and Karoo jumped and huddled together in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROAR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the jungle, a colossal tiger emerged, snarling fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stared them down... then abruptly collapsed, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp dove behind Shirogai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-T-Tiger? No, no, I'm sick—I'll die if I go on that island! I'm not going!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trembled violently, already forgetting the bold words he'd spoken minutes ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy grinned at the jungle. \"Something strong is waiting out there! Shirogai, where's my adventure bento?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I made it earlier,\" Shirogai replied, walking out with a full meat bento packed in a backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi hesitated, then stepped forward. \"Shirogai-san... may I have one too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Princess,\" he replied with a small smile, placing her bento inside Karoo's saddle pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also handed Karoo a hydration bottle filled with a performance drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy, Vivi, and Karoo disembarked, heading off into the jungle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji leaned against the rail, smoking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feels like Shirogai's taken over my job…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I'm free now. Might as well go hunting too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro leapt off the ship, hands in his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't forget we need meat!\" Sanji called after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro didn't look back. \"Yeah yeah, I'll catch something you'd never be able to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Sanji's cigarette flared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You trying to say your prey will be better than mine?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro turned and grinned. \"Obviously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji sneered. \"Then it's on. A hunting contest. Whoever brings back the bigger, meatier prey wins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not losing this one,\" Zoro shot back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai raised a brow. \"Mind if I join?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both turned to him and said in perfect sync: \"No! You're banned from this competition!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like dueling rivals, they stormed off in opposite directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai stretched and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to leave, he felt two weights latch onto his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami and Usopp clung to him desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't go! You're our only protection!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes glistened with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai sighed. \"Fine. I'll stay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They breathed in relief, while he scratched his head with a helpless smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, he wanted to explore too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>",1052,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.648Z",1,"novelbin.me","c4e1c67ebe96337b496d310f1f7e567c0b0b872c3c60abe0d85d1ea7de2ce5a1","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-33","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-31",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
