Push the speed even higher!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Vice Admiral Onigumo's command, the leading Marine warships raced through the darkness like bolts of lightning headed straight for Marineford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, aboard another Marine vessel…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arara… what a complete disaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji lounged lazily in a deck chair, an eye mask covering half of his face. His voice carried a slow, unhurried drawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dozens of top-class Marine warships, eight Vice Admirals, and three Admirals deployed, and still no capture. A pirate with the title of Fifth Emperor slipped away untouched. Even CP-0, who secretly joined in, failed to bring back a single one of his companions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kuzan-san, the Fifth Emperor… someone that dangerous launched a surprise attack on Marineford itself. Aren't you worried at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him stood Vice Admiral Steelers, slick black hair combed back neatly, a thin and meticulously maintained mustache perched above his lips. He looked helplessly at Aokiji, who lay as if the world outside simply didn't concern him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Aokiji weren't physically on this ship, Steelers would have already ordered full speed ahead like Onigumo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't rush. Some things stay the same no matter how fast you try to push them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still lying down, Aokiji adjusted his mask slightly, a faint smile on his face as he yawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sakazuki's already gone ahead on Onigumo's ship, hasn't he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the entire fleet accelerates at once, and something unexpected happens, the ships won't be able to stop in time. Then, before the enemy even moves a finger, we'll be crashing into each other and sinking ourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…When you put it that way, it does make sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice Admiral Steelers nodded reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arara…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji lazily pulled his mask up and glanced toward the far, distant sky, a soft chuckle escaping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, I'm just making excuses so I don't have to move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Kuzan-san, you're far too honest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji's expression suddenly sharpened. His relaxed posture vanished instantly as he shot upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Steelers could react, the Admiral at his side disappeared in a blur of frost and cold air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A calm voice echoed sharply from the sky:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Order the fleet to halt immediately. Prepare to evade!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? What happened?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steelers looked toward the sky in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji was already far above the ships, cold mist spraying behind him as he sped toward the distant horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop the ships! Prepare for evasive action! Now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he didn't understand what was happening, Steelers followed the order without hesitation, shouting commands to his own crews and relaying the message to the fleet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the leading warship, a blazing crimson figure erupted from the deck—Akainu lunged into the sky, magma bursting violently behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What in the world is going on?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Transponder Snail in Steelers' hand crackled with the confused voices of the other Vice Admirals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trailed off as he stared at the distant sky where two figures—one wreathed in frost, the other in molten fire—shot toward the same point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Steelers' Observation Haki screamed. His body froze, drenched in a suffocating dread he had never known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh-what is this…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His legs trembled uncontrollably. He stumbled backward, heart hammering, eyes locked on the swirling darkness ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Observation Haki warned of imminent death approaching from every direction—no angle to escape, no safe path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the source… lurked somewhere beneath that distant sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft, almost playful chuckle drifted across the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize for making all you righteous Marines rush back so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I've prepared… a small token of apology.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A devastating radiance burst in the distance, so bright it cut through the night like the sun descending upon the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is that?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steelers' eyes stung instantly.

My eyes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of power blinds us just by looking at it?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that the Fifth Emperor's doing? Is he planning an ambush?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't panic! Kuzan and Sakazuki-sama have already moved to stop him! We'll be fine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the seasoned Vice Admirals struggled, shielding their eyes while trembling beneath the overwhelming brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Vice Admiral Tsuru remained composed. Her gaze narrowed, analyzing the phenomenon calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such overwhelming Conqueror's Haki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a handful in history could compare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, horror struck the fleet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blinding light in the sky inverted—its radiance collapsing inward until only darkness remained. It condensed like a devoured sun, forming a pitch-black glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black mass shifted, flowed… and took shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal sword of pure death and destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-d-d…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teeth chattered across every warship.

Crackle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black blade erupted into a monstrous surge of Haki-coated sword energy stretching tens of thousands of meters, tearing the sky apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The catastrophic slash ripped through the atmosphere, cleaving open sea and sky alike, and thundered toward the Marine fleet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything vanished beneath the roar of destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steelers felt the deathly aura swallowing Aokiji and Akainu at the front, then crushing Onigumo's warships… then rushing toward his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh… the Fifth Emperor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bitter smile touched his lips as the dark blade consumed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifth Emperor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's a crazy bastard\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could very well be the First Emperor…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>",948,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.998Z",1,"novelbin.me","483a132bcfc69d7e179c8e216abbc34f22003aef87ca40e8de7a5fa154602b95","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-345","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-343",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
