His tone carried not an ounce of concern, as if Iceberg's fate meant little to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But unfortunately for you, Iceberg is nothing more than a disposable piece to me. His life or death doesn't matter,\" he said calmly, his words cold and deliberate. \"Just like yours—it wouldn't make any difference whether you live or die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalifa's seductive eyes hardened, a flicker of doubt flashing behind them. Is he bluffing… or is he really that indifferent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine then,\" she hissed, pressing her dagger closer to Iceberg's throat. \"If the World Government can't have what it wants, then no one will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iceberg, the man now held at knifepoint, remained eerily calm. \"Kalifa, as a member of CP-9, you must have spent years preparing for this mission, haven't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression wavered slightly. \"I've been your secretary for five years,\" she admitted softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a day,\" Iceberg sighed, his tone laced with irony. \"I never imagined there was a CP-9, hidden beyond CP-1 through CP-8.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then glanced toward her with keen insight. \"There must be others, right? You exposed yourself intentionally—to protect the rest of your unit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalifa froze. For the first time, she truly understood how sharp Iceberg's mind was. He wasn't just a skilled shipwright or a respected leader—he was a man whose perception could pierce through deception itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder CP-9 had failed to obtain what they wanted for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, as expected,\" Shirogai said with a faint grin. \"If the World Government only sent one CP-9 agent to you, that would've been an insult to your intelligence, Iceberg San.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry's eyes widened. \"A traitor… among us?\" His voice shook. \"Who is it? Tell me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Shirogai tilted his head, his grin widening. \"You sure you can handle the truth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned forward slightly, his voice low and deliberate. \"Blueno.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry's face twisted in shock. \"That drunk who sells wine? He's with the World Government too?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai gave a small nod. \"That's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iceberg's expression didn't change, but deep inside, unease rippled through him. If Blueno is with them, that means Franky…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart sank. He's already in CP-9's sights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And there's more,\" Shirogai continued, his voice calm but cutting. \"One of your five foremen—Kaku.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even Kaku?\" Iceberg inhaled sharply, his voice filled with quiet disbelief. \"The World Government's influence runs deeper than I imagined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!\" Barry's voice cracked as his composure shattered. \"Kaku would never betray us! He's been my partner for years!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kalifa! Tell me he's lying! Say something!\" Barry's desperate plea echoed in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalifa said nothing. Her silence was answer enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai chuckled softly. \"Funny, isn't it? What truly breaks people isn't betrayal itself—it's realizing how fake the bonds they cherished were.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry's shoulders trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, and one more thing,\" Shirogai added smoothly. \"Lucci. He's not only a CP-9 member—he's their leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The color drained from Barry's face. His entire body shook, as if the foundation of everything he believed in had collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His friends. His comrades. His brothers. All of them had been assassins wearing smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai patted Barry's shoulder with a smirk. \"Good. Let that anger grow. Go on—take it\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What—!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Barry could react, Shirogai pushed him forward. Barry stumbled into a sudden, pitch-black cubic void that had appeared midair—and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Dark Seclusion Chamber].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is that?! Shirogai! What have you done to him?!\" Kalifa shouted, shielding Iceberg as she stepped back cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she blinked, Shirogai was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart skipped a beat—until a whisper brushed her ear from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sleep for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her world went dark instantly. Kalifa collapsed, unconscious, her dagger slipping soundlessly from her hand before vanishing as if it had never been there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai caught her effortlessly and smiled faintly. \"You're quite heavy, Kalifa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the Mayor. \"Iceberg, would you like to see what's inside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iceberg's gaze locked on the eerie black cube floating before him. \"What is that…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This?\" Shirogai replied with a smirk. \"This is your future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My… future?\" Iceberg repeated, confusion in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A fitting description,\" Shirogai murmured. \"You'll understand soon enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mayor hesitated, then sighed. \"With your strength, you have no reason to lie. Very well… I'll trust you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A wise choice,\" Shirogai said, stepping into the [Dark Seclusion Chamber] while carrying the unconscious Kalifa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iceberg followed, his figure swallowed by the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell silent once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the black cube remained, devouring every flicker of light, radiating a haunting, tranquil power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten seconds later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man tumbled out of the cube, coughing violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough—air! Finally, air!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He staggered to his feet, laughter bubbling out uncontrollably. \"Hahahaha! I'm out! I'm finally out of that nightmare!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Barry—the first one Shirogai had sent inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fruit! Fresh fruit!\" Barry's crazed eyes darted to a bowl nearby. He reached out, and the fruits were drawn into his hands by invisible threads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! After ten years, I can finally taste something again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He devoured them hungrily, greedily glancing around the room. \"That place… I never want to go back there! Shirogai, you devil! You tricked me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the thought of that calm, confident smile sent a shiver down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only agreed to stay five years, and that bastard dragged it out to ten!\" Barry cursed, still trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled how, on the verge of madness, Shirogai would somehow pull him back—reviving his sanity again and again through strange, godlike methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai… even devils in hell would call you 'senpai,'\" Barry muttered, half in awe, half in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he flexed his fingers, thin, invisible threads spread through the air like a spider's web—covering the room before fading from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold glint flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Fruit… it really suits me,\" Barry whispered. \"CP-9… we're going to have a little talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_______\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All fanfics are currently 70–90 chapters ahead on Patreon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Become a Patron to gain early access!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you all for the amazing support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patreon.com\u002FZphyr_\u003C\u002Fp>",1018,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.998Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c050e9c85a40f24cb7c57fef8398c8624c7569b82b6fb63818d9426d8bfc361","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-324","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-322",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
