Her voice rang with fury as she shouted, \"If you keep forcing us, don't expect any mercy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chopper transformed into his heavy combat form, swinging his arms with full force and sending two fully armored guards flying across the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, didn't we agree to handle this according to the auction house rules?\" someone shouted in frustration. \"Why has it turned into a fight anyway?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami, Chopper, stop fighting!\" Hachi yelled anxiously as he dodged a thrusting spear. \"If this continues, we'll offend the Celestial Dragons!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was terrified that Kemi's situation would drag these overly enthusiastic friends into a disaster that would end with an Admiral hunting them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can we not fight back?\" Nami snapped, her eyes blazing. \"They're coming straight for me now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swung her Clima-Tact again, golden sparks bursting outward and splashing across the guards' armor. The strange energy seeped into the metal, and in an instant, the fully armored guards froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… I can't move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's a Devil Fruit user too! Hurry, prepare Sea Stone weapons!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things had spiraled completely out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had only wanted to rely on the auction house rules, to win Kemi fairly by bidding the highest price and rescue her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not seek trouble, yet trouble came knocking anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the auction house strictly forbade private armed conflict, when it came to the guards of the Celestial Dragons, the so-called security chose to look away, silently allowing the bidders to be attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guards!\" Nami shouted angrily at the auction house staff who were pretending not to see anything. \"Doesn't your auction house prohibit private fighting?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph.\" One guard glanced at her with disdain. \"Those are the guards of the Celestial Dragons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sneered coldly. \"I advise you to stop resisting and obediently go become a Saintess in the Holy Land.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami-swaan, don't waste your breath on him,\" Sanji said calmly as he kicked away another lunging guard. His gaze shifted to a man slowly approaching through the chaos. \"All the so-called rules here only exist to punish the weak. They never apply to the strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Sanji's eyes sharpened. \"Looks like someone capable finally showed up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man wore a white suit and a mask shaped like a woodpecker's beak. His voice was calm and emotionless. \"I am CP-0 Koma. I am responsible for the safety of Saint Rosward's family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked directly at the Straw Hats. \"Straw Hat Pirates, leave this auction house immediately. I will not pursue you further, nor will I make you my enemies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, by saying this, Koma had already violated the Celestial Dragons' orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The command given to him was clear, kill the Straw Hat who dared defy them. No one was to be spared except Nami.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Koma understood reality far too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he truly carried out that order, neither he nor the three Celestial Dragons would be able to leave the Sabaody Archipelago alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the power of the Arrogant Emperor far too clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was not something a mere CP-0 agent could oppose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if every CP-0 operative were dispatched, it would likely still end in annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" Nami said coldly. \"We'll leave. Hand over the mermaid, and we'll go immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry,\" Koma replied without hesitation, shaking his head. \"The mermaid cannot be given to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then there's no way we're leaving,\" Nami shot back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koma suddenly sensed something wrong. He looked up and dodged instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive flying fish smashed through the ceiling, crashing straight into the audience seats. Screams erupted as unlucky spectators were flung aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That hurts so much!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's furious roar echoed through the hall. Then his eyes locked onto the fish tank above the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kemi!\" he shouted excitedly. \"I finally found you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure appeared directly in his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was CP-0 Koma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, Straw Hat Luffy,\" Koma said firmly. \"You cannot take this mermaid. She is the private property of the Celestial Dragons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to keep the mermaid as a form of compensation, hoping it might appease Saint Rosward's family and allow his failure to be overlooked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Luffy glared at him, veins bulging. \"Private property?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled his arm back and shouted, \"Get lost! Kemi isn't anyone's property! Gum Gum Pistol!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you take another step forward,\" Koma warned as he dodged the punch, \"don't blame me for being impolite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From not far away, the shrill, furious voices of the Celestial Dragons rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why haven't you killed them yet, you idiot?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We spend Berries raising you spies, and when we need you, you're useless! You can't even handle a lowly pirate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idiots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you weren't Celestial Dragons, Koma thought coldly, I would have taken your heads already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression hardened. He brought two fingers together like a blade and thrust them toward Luffy's arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shigan, Twin Finger Strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the stage beside Kemi's fish tank, two men sat casually, sipping wine as they watched the chaos unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Straw Hat's combat instincts are better than I expected,\" Silvers Rayleigh said with a smile. \"Did you train him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't enjoy teaching,\" Shirogai Yamikuro replied lazily. \"But I do enjoy watching people suffer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a sip of wine, his tone indifferent. \"Experience proves that patiently instructing someone is far slower than beating the lesson into them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rayleigh laughed heartily. \"So you believe in tossing a kid into the sea and letting him learn to swim if he survives? You'd get along well with Roger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" Shirogai chuckled. \"Seems the Pirate King liked simple and violent methods too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That man was even lazier than you,\" Rayleigh said with a trace of nostalgia. \"He preferred letting others train the apprentices. It feels like yesterday when Roger entrusted Shanks and Buggy to me…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai smiled and patted Rayleigh on the shoulder. \"Rayleigh San, reminiscing too much is a sign of age.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked faintly. \"You're still lively, still fond of beautiful women. No need to dwell on the past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gunshot rang out, cutting through their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men had already sensed it coming. They stopped talking and looked toward the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bullet struck Nami squarely in the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami stared down in disbelief, her body trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who fired the shot was a Celestial Dragon with snot dripping from his nose, his face twisted in a cruel sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saint Charlos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\" he scoffed. \"How dare you defy the will of a World Noble and refuse to become my wife?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice dripped with malice. \"If I can't have you, then no one can!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>___\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Send Power stones for bonus chapters\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read chapters ahead on patron\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Affordable tiers with great benefits\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>👉 patreon.com\u002FZphyr\u003C\u002Fp>",1140,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.999Z",1,"novelbin.me","df89711db8c92c69c396942e34b1381ece7cad5bf1119eaa7a2034e678b422b6","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-454","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-452",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
