Anything you really like or can't stand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dietary restrictions?\" Shirogai smiled slightly, eyes still closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't stand lettuce. Love all desserts. I hate bitter stuff.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji raised a brow, a mischievous grin forming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so you hate that stuff, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his hands together with a sinister glint, Sanji snickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then. The moment you step on our ship, I'll whip up a special lettuce salad for you every day. Maybe even some nice, bitter desserts too. Heh. Don't worry — as the only cook aboard, I'll make sure you're well taken care of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Shirogai's mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guess I was wrong about him being the considerate type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, Shirogai's simulated battles came to a close, his comprehension of the exoskeleton and advanced Black Leg techniques deepening. His understanding was on the cusp of perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, Shirogai opened his eyes and met Sanji's gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, a cold, inhuman gleam stunned Sanji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those eyes… so cold…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji stiffened, instinctively looking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, Shirogai's gaze reminded him of his brothers back in Germa 66 — those same heartless, soulless eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this guy… another modified human?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji clenched his jaw, forcing himself to meet Shirogai's gaze again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, the other man's eyes softened into a calm smile, the earlier coldness seemingly an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it just my imagination…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, Sanji understood one thing — this man was dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a steady breath, Sanji spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen. Whatever you're here for, don't lay a hand on Nami-san. Or I'll chase you to the ends of the Grand Line.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai sighed, stretching as he rose from the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys are way too suspicious of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a lazy smirk, he added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You looking to spar too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch. I'm not like that simple-minded swordsman. I don't throw hands without a reason — unless it's for a lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji's gaze was dismissive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you came all this way just to mess with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji grinned coldly, walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Remember, offending a cook at sea is a good way to starve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sanji, by the way…\" Shirogai called out, a teasing tone in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can cook too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji froze, turning back in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You cook? Wait, is it that so-called Talent Devil Fruit ability Luffy was talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talent Devil Fruit?\" Shirogai blinked, then recalled his earlier joke with Luffy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm a 'Talent Man' who ate the Talent Fruit. If I see an ability once, I can learn it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technically, he wasn't lying. Thanks to his God-level Comprehension System, it was true — just not because of a Devil Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of blending in, a harmless white lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji eyed him skeptically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Devil Fruit like that… sounds way too good to be real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't believe me?\" Shirogai smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this — at tonight's banquet, we both cook. Let's see whose dish Nami-swan likes better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji's fighting spirit ignited. He pointed at Shirogai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai Yamikuro! Nami-swan's favorite dish will be mine, got it? You'll eat your words tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looking forward to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji spun on his heel, storming off to hunt for fresh ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai watched him leave, chuckling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Straw Hats really are a fun crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossing his legs, he resumed meditating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still time before sunset — plenty of room to push his skills even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, deep within the island…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fresh wild boar meat! Don't you run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji dashed after a fleeing wild boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was closing in, a familiar moss-green head wandered into his peripheral vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji scowled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This idiot. I told him which way led back to the ship, so why's he heading deeper into the island? Does he not realize the ship's by the sea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While distracted, the wild boar veered sharply, disappearing into a tree hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji dropped to his knees, yelling into the hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you hide in there, I know you're home!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Zoro stood with a blade of grass in his mouth, watching with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oi, cook. Can't even catch your own dinner? Some cook you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing his Wado Ichimonji, Zoro casually made two swift slashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the thick tree split clean in half, exposing the cowering wild boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poor creature looked up pitifully at the two drooling pirates grinning down at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, at the beach…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rich scent of roasted meat wafted across the shoreline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tables, chairs, and torches had been set up, and the Straw Hats gathered around two enormous spits: one with a roasted boar, the other a giant fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji manned the wild boar, carefully turning it as the skin crackled golden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinarily, the crew would have been fighting over it already, Sanji nervously keeping Luffy in check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But tonight, everyone had gathered around the fish instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the other spit, Shirogai calmly applied a shimmering glaze of honey and herbs to the roasting fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it hit the flesh, the already mouthwatering aroma grew tenfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's mouth hung open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It smells amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp gulped audibly, sneaking glances at Luffy's gaping maw as though worried it might devour him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't wait anymore!\" Luffy groaned, eyes glued to the fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai! Hurry up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp whispered, trying to be sly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Luffy — maybe let me try it first, you know, just to make sure it's not poisoned or anything. Once I'm full, you can dig in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami smacked Usopp square on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quit badmouthing Shirogai San!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his head, Usopp protested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"C'mon, Nami! I'm your crewmate, he's the newbie!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro took a swig of sake, chuckling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like the idiot cook already lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the crew bickered, Shirogai sprinkled a final dash of spice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All done! Dig in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yahoo! Food!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy stretched his arms and snatched a huge chunk of fish, stuffing it into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes sparkled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa! So good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp carved a slice for himself — but before he could eat it, Luffy snatched it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luffy! That's it! Take this — Sure-Kill: Chili Star!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firing his slingshot, Usopp shot a Chili Star straight into Luffy's open mouth along with the fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Luffy's eyes bulged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh! So spicy!! Water!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Face flushed and mouth smoking, Luffy flailed wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's what you get for stealing my food, Usopp-sama!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp victoriously dove back into the fish, and the moment he tasted it, his eyes rolled back in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is incredible! Even better than Sanji's cooking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji gritted his teeth nearby, feeling a wave of irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it… this guy just won everyone over with one roasted fish…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of competition burned in Sanji's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bad, Shirogai Yamikuro. But don't think this means I'll lose next time.\u003C\u002Fp>",1257,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.648Z",1,"novelbin.me","fc95bc996f34012952f41550982ce0e1128bc117d5e09c2f98d6d4c474dac59f","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-227","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-226",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
