Iceberg Mayor was attacked last night and is still unconscious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young newsboy steered a Bru boat through the canal, tossing newspapers as though they were scraps, shouting with urgency:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The attacker appeared inside Iceberg Mayor's private room and vanished without a trace. Who did he anger?! And with Aqua Laguna approaching, could this be connected?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice echoed off the stone walls, cutting through the usual clatter of tools and shipwright chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People scrambled to grab the falling papers, flipping through them in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! Iceberg is such a good man, why would anyone do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be related to the explosion and flames we saw last night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those pirates! They used to order ships from us, but I swear I'll never build another for them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be the Franky Family? Their hideout was destroyed yesterday too! Those weirdos finally crossed the line, I knew they—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iceberg Mayor is still unconscious?! Let's go to his headquarters and wait. Please let him be safe…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murmurs overlapped, voices rising and falling like restless waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iceberg's attack shook the entire city. Panic spread like ripples on water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Straw Hats' temporary home, chaos was brewing of a very different kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent of food filled the room, plates stacked high, crumbs already scattered across the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aw! Zoro, don't steal my meat! Chopper, you ate my pasta again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Luffy, leave some for Chopper and me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slurp… hehe, what I grab is mine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro, Chopper, and Luffy devoured breakfast as if preparing for a war of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their chopsticks and hands moved so fast they were almost blurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji leaned against the window, cigarette smoldering between his fingers, his expression unusually solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smoke curled upward as he stared out at the city beyond the glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder if Robin-chan is alright…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai Yamikuro—quiet amidst the noise—finished cleaning up after cooking for the bottomless stomachs around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were unhurried, almost detached from the frantic energy filling the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami-swaaaan, what happened?\" Sanji asked as Nami burst inside, panic all over her face. His melancholy instantly melted into exaggerated affection. \"Anything I can help with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami ignored him completely. She shoved a newspaper into Shirogai's hands and looked at Luffy, sweating nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not only were we attacked last night, but Iceberg, The Mayor was attacked too! Someone beat him and shot him in his own home!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's eyes bulged, the food dropping from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kind uncle got shot?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai skimmed the article and gave a faint, almost amused smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headline barely seemed to surprise him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the World Government pulled a lot of strings last night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good thing Shirogai was with us,\" Nami exhaled shakily. \"Those two were terrifying. That big guy knocked Luffy down with only a few punches.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe… I thought it was a dream,\" Luffy muttered, rubbing his head. \"That guy was strong. I couldn't beat him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're not at their level yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro swallowed the last of his food, glancing at his three swords resting against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hilts seemed heavier than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the enemies we face from now on are that strong, we still have a long way to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm still too weak. I need to get stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro respected powerful opponents. CP0's agent last night—Ao Oni—had made him feel true pressure for the first time in a while. Yet in Shirogai's eyes, Ao Oni wasn't even close to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CP0 agents could overwhelm most fighters, but they were far from the summit. They were only high-level combatants—not even close to true monsters at the peak of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can CP0 defeat a Yonko?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the first thing Zoro asked Shirogai's clone after Ao Oni fled last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memory still burned vividly in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me put it simply,\" the clone said, watching CP0 disappear into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was calm, almost dismissive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If a hundred CP0 members attacked a Yonko at once, the Yonko would only feel annoyed. Crushing large cockroaches doesn't bring satisfaction—if anything, it's just disgusting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro inhaled sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill ran down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who nearly suffocated him with pressure… was just a cockroach to the true elites?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excitement stirred in Zoro's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were heights above heights, monsters above monsters. And he intended to reach the top and cut them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy suddenly gulped down the rest of his meal, leapt out the window, and dashed across rooftops like a wild animal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiles cracked beneath his feet as he bounded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to check on Iceberg!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait! Luffy, I'm coming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami hurried after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go,\" Shirogai said calmly, following them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried none of their urgency, yet his pace never lagged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, elsewhere:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iceberg Mayor isn't dead. Calm down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice shouted through a Transponder Snail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I think this relates to the strange events from last night. It might be tied to pirates!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pirates?! Damn them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry over. We need to discuss what to do before Iceberg Mayor wakes up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On my way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry set down the Transponder Snail, a mocking sneer twisting his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was quiet, save for the faint creak of wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly as he predicted… they finally couldn't hold back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back, arms crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaku, your acting is top-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I didn't already know CP9 was behind this, I would've believed every word of your worried performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this is the skill of World Government spies. A few subtle hints and you make people suspect pirates immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But acting isn't your exclusive art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry reached out casually toward a coat hanging across the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cowboy jacket with six cigars attached lifted itself and flew straight onto his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The String-String Fruit obeyed him as easily as moving his own arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invisible threads quivered in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry trembled slightly as memories of that oppressive training space returned. Then he smirked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll use this power to judge all of you… CP9 traitors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere on the canal:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami! Look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy shoved a newspaper toward her with shaking hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What—? What is this?! Is this World Newspaper real?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami's jaw dropped as she read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers tightened around the page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the front page were two images:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One: Shirogai Yamikuro's wanted poster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bounty: 200 million Berries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nickname: The Plunderer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second: Shirogai smiling, wearing the bubble hood of a Celestial Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headline read:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Revealed: This esteemed man is actually a Celestial Dragon… Figarland Shirogai sama.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible! Shirogai is a Celestial Dragon?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way! That can't be true!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Shirogai—who had briefly split off from Luffy and Nami—walked through the streets alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of water lapping against stone followed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People stared from a distance, whispering in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some bowed their heads, others instinctively stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey… look… isn't that him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is! Stay away!
