with a stern expression, flipping slowly through a book in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Title: The Complete Collection of Cold Jokes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from him, Robin quietly read a newspaper sourced from the underground market a few days earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the front page, bold letters screamed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emergence of a \"Fifth Emperor\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lone man tramples the BIG MOM Pirates and ruptures the Beasts Pirates!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the headline rested Shirogai Yamikuro's exhausted-looking wanted poster, his bounty set at two hundred million Berries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where it originally stated The Plunderer Shirogai, someone had messily overwritten:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FIFTH EMPEROR SHIROGAI\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A question mark trailed the title, as if even the newspaper doubted its own claim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The article exaggerated every detail, describing catastrophic scenes erupting through the territories of both Kaido's Beasts Pirates and BIG MOM Charlotte Linlin's crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the report, these clashes were supposedly triggered when the so-called Fifth Emperor Shirogai challenged both Kaido and Big Mom separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the writer admitted to only glimpsing fragments from afar, the descriptions were deliberately vague, hiding behind the excuse of \"respecting the Four Emperors' influence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the message was clear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai Yamikuro was portrayed as overwhelmingly powerful—someone who walked away unscathed after clashing with two Yonko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newspaper then shifted into an absurd \"profile\" of Shirogai:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was claimed to originate from some mysterious country in the East Blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were rumors—completely fabricated—that he was related to the Celestial Dragons, supposedly their live-in son-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the article swerved again—suggesting Shirogai might actually be Big Mom's son-in-law, stating that she frequently recruited powerful individuals by marrying off her daughters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the article, multiple daughters of Big Mom were supposedly linked to Shirogai, and many were \"rumored to be pregnant with his children.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If true, the BIG MOM Pirates would instantly become a dual-Emperor faction, completely overshadowing the other Yonko crews.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next paragraph contradicted the last one immediately, proposing that Shirogai might instead be related to Kaido, due to their monstrous physical strength and ability to transform into dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, the writer suggested, Shirogai was secretly Kaido's younger brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the grand conspiracy theory:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Mom and Kaido were allegedly creating a secret alliance—marrying Big Mom's daughter to Kaido's \"brother,\" Shirogai—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and launching a \"Fifth Emperor\" to lure out a future Yonko crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would one day unite to defeat Shanks and Whitebeard, becoming a dominant force of three Yonko crews against two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin sighed softly and rubbed her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ridiculousness almost made her laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This underground tabloid certainly lived up to its reputation…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fabrications were so outrageous that if Robin didn't know Shirogai personally, she might have believed some of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder this was the only newspaper that rivaled Morgans' World Economic News.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its circulation was smaller, but it remained popular in the darker corners of the world because occasional truths hid among the lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Separating truth from noise, however, was left entirely to the reader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin's eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some of the information about the Four Emperors… does seem accurate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She recalled Shirogai's casual comment earlier aboard the ship:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some people had ideas they shouldn't have had, so I went to correct their attitude.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers tightened around the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be… Shirogai really did challenge the Yonko?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And judging from this… he must have won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her gaze toward Ao Oni.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His behavior earlier…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fear when facing Shirogai's clone…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His overly cautious attitude toward her today…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all pointed to one undeniable conclusion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the World Government, Shirogai Yamikuro was as dangerous as a Yonko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the room, Ao Oni closed the cold joke book and looked up with an expression of growing fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything wrong? Are you hungry? Thirsty? Do you need rest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone carried the weary patience of a caretaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like a babysitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been one, undercover, but this was worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The World Government had dispatched three CP-0 operatives to Water 7 to evaluate the rising influence of Shirogai Yamikuro, whose actions were beginning to shift the balance of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their mission: identify his weaknesses, study his combat habits, and determine whether assassination was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this assignment, Ao Oni discovered Robin among Shirogai's crew—and felt ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood Robin well. They knew her fears. Her past. Her trauma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So while Shirogai wasn't at her side, he tried to intimidate her into revealing information about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exposed himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still remembered the moment Shirogai's clone silently appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That cold whisper that echoed directly in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't try anything foolish. I can see through your mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crushing, suffocating pressure of impending death nearly made him commit suicide on the spot—he couldn't tell whether that would have been better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow, he survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow, he walked away with Robin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the threat remained etched into his soul:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"CP-0 rat… if anything happens to Robin, I'll make your death worse than anything you can imagine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai wasn't even angry when he said it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sounded amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made it worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Oni's psychological resilience, honed through years of torture and espionage, cracked under that voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all the threats he'd ever received, only Shirogai's carried the weight of absolute certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shuddered at the memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten million Berries a month isn't worth dying for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why am I here…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, to survive, he had to obey the World Government's mission and protect Robin at all costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both for his career—and his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin glanced at him and shook her head gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She returned to the newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Oni was terrified of Shirogai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning Shirogai truly had fought the Four Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And considering how Ao Oni acted…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai definitely wasn't the one who lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>",962,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.998Z",1,"novelbin.me","9f0368a8664204734ccd38718d78ff0aecedef001ebbb6824b12d8e878cd0eda","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-335","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-333",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
