A faint smile appeared on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, this is what you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark silhouette materialized behind him, its cold gaze fixed on Barry's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hand it over and We will spare your life. Refuse and you die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it really was this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry crushed the blueprints in his hand and turned sharply, glaring at the two masked intruders. One wore a long-horned bull mask, the other a giant skull. Both were cloaked in heavy garments that hid their forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is what you've been after, hiding among us for so long!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skull mask paused for a brief moment, then resumed its calm posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is correct. Our target is what you're holding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long-horned bull mask stared at Barry with cold, animal-like eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give it to Me. Trash like you is not worthy of knowing its value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You already attacked the other shipwrights, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry's eyes fixed onto the blood staining the bull-masked agent's hand. His breathing grew heavy, his anger rising as he looked at the two figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really did it. After five years of working together, you still struck them down without hesitation. Doesn't it hurt at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skull mask stared blankly, as if something in Barry's words had struck deeper than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you found out more than We thought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bull mask twisted its neck, expression unreadable beneath the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are members of the World Government's secret unit CP-9. To Us, you were never anything more than strangers. Now hand it over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice became ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then die quietly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry's eyes narrowed, cigar smoke rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph. You think you can kill me? Try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Barry, you cannot defeat Us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bull mask spoke coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the last word left his mouth, he vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soru.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reappeared, he was already behind Barry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finger Pistol.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His finger, hardened like steel, shot forward. Concentrated into a single deadly point, the thrust carried enough force to pierce flesh as easily as a bullet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, Barry would lose all ability to resist after that strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masked agent's expression shifted sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His finger wasn't penetrating anything. It was caught and bound by something thin, invisible, and impossibly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry slowly turned his head, eyes filled with scorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you were hiding quite well, Lucci.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bull mask froze. Barry had spoken his true name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lucci could react, the skull mask moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rankyaku!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Soru, he flashed behind Barry and unleashed a slicing kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The compressed air blade struck Barry and sent him crashing into the distant wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall cracked from the force, and Barry collapsed, seemingly unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skull masked agent hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucci bent down to retrieve the crumpled blueprints from the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skull mask moved reluctantly toward Barry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Barry, forgive me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the mask, Kaku closed his eyes. He lifted his leg and brought down a heavy Rankyaku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tearing sound echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was not Barry who was struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Kaku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucci's eyes narrowed behind the bull mask. The \"Barry\" lying on the ground had unraveled into a mass of razor-thin threads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The threads shot outward, piercing walls, bookcases, and flooring like needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaku, standing closest, was struck several times despite activating Tekkai. Thin trickles of blood dripped from the wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Devil Fruit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could hardly believe it. Barry, who bragged constantly and couldn't keep a secret, had been hiding this ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surprised, Lucci? Hard to accept that the chronic gambler who owed half the city money had a card up his sleeve?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mocking voice echoed from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucci looked up sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Barry stood on a web of strings suspended in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real Barry jumped down from the ceiling, landing with a thud. He glared at Lucci and Kaku with cold fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think spies and assassins are the only ones allowed to hide their strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucci straightened, recovering instantly from his shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange. Intelligence never recorded you as a Devil Fruit user.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He analyzed the situation rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you've escaped creditors by jumping into the sea before. That means you were not a Devil Fruit user at the time. So you obtained your power recently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Kaku yanked out the embedded threads and pressed pressure points to stop the bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kaku, you really went for my life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my duty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His calm tone only fueled Barry's rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Duty? So every moment over these years was just an act from you liars?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memories of their camaraderie flashed in Barry's mind. The times they helped him, paid his debts, gave advice about saving money and settling down. All of it had been fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How pathetic, Kaku.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry clenched his hands. The string construct on the ground wriggled, reshaping itself into another Barry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Barrys glared coldly at the two CP-9 agents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You won't get what you came for today. CP-9, you're fired from Galley-La Company. You're not worthy of being part of it anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't have the authority to dismiss a foreman, Barry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucci's voice was low. He stared at the faint threads drifting around Barry's fingers and muttered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"String-String Fruit. Strange. Isn't that the Devil Fruit of the Shichibukai, the Heavenly Yaksha?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>",959,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.998Z",1,"novelbin.me","b1ee6112618e9105fbf555a6a1c3f1446c5ddc9de1d7715e74679aba6c4ac9ee","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-361","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-359",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
