The captain acknowledged by Shirogai Yamikuro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bad. Truly worthy of being recognized by someone like Shirogai. His bearing is anything but ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whitebeard suddenly sensed a cold, disdainful gaze directed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gurarara. What is it, crocodile? Looking for revenge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whitebeard calmly met Crocodile's stare, unmoving like an immovable mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to attack me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocodile sneered, then turned his gaze toward Ace on the execution platform in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no interest in killing someone who cannot even protect his own son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whitebeard was briefly taken aback, studying Crocodile with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… you seem to have changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocodile lit a cigar and slowly exhaled smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph. At least I am not like you, an old man who can no longer change.

You are blind to everything that has happened in the world recently. The new era no longer has a place for old relics like you. The future belongs to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smoke rose, partially obscuring his face, yet it could not hide the ambition burning unmistakably in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crocodile, you are not allowed to insult the Old Man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Whitebeard Pirates erupted in fury, glaring at Crocodile with open hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whitebeard looked calmly at Crocodile's face hidden behind smoke, and for the first time, a subtle sense of age crept into his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New generations replace the old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps there truly was no longer a place for an old man like him in the coming era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at Shirogai, look at Crocodile. They had no one shielding them, yet they still carved out their own paths through sheer strength and will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps his presence had lasted too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, the sons under his banner had unconsciously grown dependent, never fully maturing into pirates who could stand on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph. Kid, do you think this old man has nothing left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whitebeard slammed Murakumogiri into the ground and grinned fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Straw Hat, do you want to save your brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy laughed brightly, his confidence unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ace, wait for me. I'm coming to save you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy suddenly scratched his head, stepped closer to Whitebeard, and whispered urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We overheard a Marine Den Den Mushi on the warship earlier. It sounds like they are planning something. They are moving Ace's execution time forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that is it…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whitebeard's eyes darkened as he pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder Sengoku has been acting strangely. So he plans to break his word and abandon the publicly announced execution time. Is this the Marine's sense of justice? How laughable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his tone carried disdain, Whitebeard had already expected as much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dealing with the Marines for decades, he knew them all too well. They were no different from pirates like himself. They produced nothing, created no wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They merely cloaked themselves in the banner of justice while driving out pirates and monopolizing the spoils, deceiving the world in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were true Marines who genuinely upheld justice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the majority were nothing more than pirates in uniform, hiding behind the word justice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They occupied the richest regions of the seas, suppressed resistance, and branded anyone who opposed them as criminals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking promises was nothing new to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That they would execute Ace ahead of schedule was well within Whitebeard's expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way,\" Whitebeard said with a faint smile, \"how is your vice captain, Shirogai?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn't he come with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's expression dimmed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were sent flying by a Shichibukai named Kuma. Later, I realized he was probably helping us. Otherwise, we would have been killed by that magma Admiral.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Akainu…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whitebeard felt a trace of regret upon hearing that Shirogai had not arrived, but he did not dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This war concerned the Whitebeard Pirates alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Shirogai had rushed in, it would have dragged him into this conflict as well, drawing the full hatred of the Marines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would only bring endless trouble to his future journeys across the seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whitebeard, it has been a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Douglas Bullet crossed his arms, studying Whitebeard with open disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you really aged this much?

So you finally managed to escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, a mere Buster Call.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bullet grinned savagely, his gaze fixed on the thunderous Marine cannons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it happens again, they will be the ones who lose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>___\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🌙 Ramadan Special\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlock advance chapters on my Patreon with 7 DAYS FREE TRIAL on all Tiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Use code: RAMADANPASS\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Link: Patreon.com\u002FZphyr\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Limited-time Ramadan offer, don't miss it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1004,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.999Z",1,"novelbin.me","7ca7dd2951db064d38096977582dc615831168a5a36701068635702a625158f2","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-487","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-485",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
