Hiyah~ yo, ah-dah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts were repeatedly interrupted by a white blob bouncing in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bepo, stop that. You're too noisy,\" Law said irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bepo, the Mink polar bear and navigator, froze, ears drooping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, sorry… I'm just worried about meeting the 5 billion Berries Arrogant Emperor who defeated the Four Emperors. They say he can defeat the combined Four Emperors…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Law leaned back, scanning the newspaper with a measured indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't pay attention to rumors. Most underground news is exaggerated. If you believed all of it, the world wouldn't just have Four Emperors, but dozens. A man with that combat power cannot merely be listed as the 'Fifth Emperor.' The current Four would also be at risk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added with dry sarcasm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, a 5 billion Berries bounty is hard to believe. It feels like bait placed deliberately by the Marines. I don't know their intentions, but many greedy individuals will surely risk themselves foolishly to try to claim it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Penguin, a crew member, approached with a stack of snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, don't you think this bounty is exaggerated? A new pirate with 5 billion Berries? Isn't that too much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Law calmly responded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Marines don't issue bounties without reason. There must be something about the Arrogant Emperor that makes the Marines see him as a serious threat. Perhaps…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, uncertainty flickering briefly in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could this relate to those underground rumors claiming he was once a Celestial Dragon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Penguin smirked, half-joking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celestial Dragons! World Nobles! Even as pirates, they seem more valuable than us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, his strength must be tremendous,\" Law noted, scanning the headline: 'Straw Hat Pirates have defeated dozens of passing pirate crews; do they aim to hunt other Pirate King contenders?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, their crew wouldn't be heading to Sabaody Archipelago. Any crew with such a reputation will draw more attention than us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shachi, leaning over to inspect the paper, laughed loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So we're going to encounter the Straw Hats at Sabaody. Let's see if they live up to the hype or if the Marines have just glorified them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Law's eyes narrowed, memories flashing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person cannot decide their birth, but they can decide who they become… even a Celestial Dragon has the right to pursue freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He whispered softly, closing his eyes under the newspaper, recalling Corazon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, at a burning Marine outpost, flames devoured everything in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance, a group of pirates dressed as swordsmen blocked the way, grinning cruelly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh heh… charred Marines, what a feast,\" they sneered, taunting the trapped soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Marines cried and pleaded, swords raised in desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, spare us! We'll burn alive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We agreed to let you take the villagers' wealth! Why kill us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man with an eyepatch, wearing a fur-collared leather jacket and a classical swordsman's hat, stood silently. X markings adorned his chin and chest, and a blood-stained four-bladed axe rested before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes, calm yet sharp, scanned the intelligence he had seized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrogant Emperor… Shirogai Yamikuro,\" he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a former Marine, X Drake understood exactly what a 5 billion Berries bounty represented: absolute combat power that even the Marines could not easily contend with. Few in the world deserved such a mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh. Flames consumed the last space where the Marines could survive, smoke thickening the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rear Admiral Drake! Rear Admiral Drake!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Marine General, face streaked with tears and soot, knelt in panic before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please… for your time as a Marine, show mercy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drake, now a pirate, turned slowly, gazing down at the pleading Marine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Marine Lieutenant Commander begging a pirate? Where is your pride?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was X Drake, the Fallen Marine Rear Admiral, bounty: 222 million Berries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rear Admiral Drake! It's a misunderstanding!\" the Marine stammered, desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I bribed Brigadier General Miles, the one you killed, to get this rank. I just want to live peacefully! I've long despised the Marines—Miles embezzled soldiers' pay and allowed pirates to plunder legally. I'll become your pirate if you let me survive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drake's crew watched silently, knowing their captain's intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drake's expression remained cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's pathetic that the Marines have people like you,\" he said, turning away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh heh… kid, you're going to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His subordinates immediately grasped his meaning, kicking the Marine back into the inferno.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man screamed and writhed, eventually vanishing into the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drake ignored the chaos behind him and retrieved the four-bladed axe, strapping it to his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed toward the distant horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sabaody Archipelago…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grim smile touched his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems a major incident that will trouble the Marines is about to unfold there…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>",871,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.997Z",1,"novelbin.me","3d2401b42296827d963eedd34b7ae4a97c12da059cc1187cb544ed5fcf5e7e91","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-304","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-303",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
