Help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp and Chopper screamed in terror, bolting for cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's eyes sparkled. \"Meat! We got meat! Mushrooms are great, but meat fills the belly! I'm starving again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro unsheathed his three swords, grinning. \"He's right. Meat is better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi waved her hands anxiously. \"No! You can't eat that! Sea Cats are sacred in Alabasta. They're seen as good luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji lit a cigarette, puffing thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eating it might bring good luck too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meow!!!\" (Hey, I'm here to make friends!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled by the bloodthirsty trio, the Sea Cat recoiled, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai stepped in front of them, calm as ever, a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luffy, Sanji, Zoro—don't touch it. That Sea Cat is my informant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They groaned in disappointment, lowering weapons and fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a big chunk of meat... wasted…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm, mmm, mmm…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After quietly communicating with the creature, Shirogai let it slip back into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meow!\" (Your friends really wanted to eat me!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sea Cat meowed one last time, bolted in panic, and vanished beneath the waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai turned to the crew, casually brushing off his coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sea Cats are good omens. They're sensitive to powerful or dangerous auras. I asked it for intel—turns out, several monstrous auras have been spotted in Alabasta's direction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro's interest piqued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? How many?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven,\" Shirogai replied, lips curled in a faint smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Each one, by its reading, is close to your level, or Luffy's, or Sanji's. Dangerous territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi's expression darkened with unease. They had agreed only to escort her to Alabasta. After that... they didn't owe her anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro suddenly pointed his blade at the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at those ships behind us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're flying the Baroque Works flag!\" Zoro added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?! Let me see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp whipped out his telescope and gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're real! Crossed swords with purple wings—definitely Baroque Works. There's like... twelve of them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi snatched the telescope, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They've started gathering. These are most likely Billions—the Chief Commander's elite forces. There could be at least two hundred aboard... and they're far stronger than those bounty hunters at Whiskey Peak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp's legs shook. \"T-Two hundred? But we've only got nine people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chopper trembled beside him. \"N-Nami-san, are we gonna fight all of them?! That's insane!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami sighed, patting Chopper's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too late to regret. You joined a pirate crew, remember?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai chuckled, placing a hand on Usopp's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to panic. You're aiming to be the bravest warrior at sea, right? Watch and learn from those three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy cracked his knuckles. \"Two hundred enemies? Let me at 'em! I'll send 'em flying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro snorted. \"Not a chance. They're mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji stepped forward, smoke trailing from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough, both of you. Two hundred? I'll handle them all myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp slumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're not normal...! You're monsters! And you, Shirogai, you're just another monster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp hugged Chopper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're doomed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" Chopper nodded, teary-eyed. \"We're so doomed…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai remained composed. \"Focus. The real danger lies in identifying who's real and who's an imposter. As long as we're together, I'll know—but if someone wanders off...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do we tell who's real?\" Zoro asked, watching a squid spray ink over the rail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... I've got it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro? With a good idea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Sanji raised an eyebrow. \"Tch. What happened to you, Moss-Head? Did you hit your head on the way here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tightened the bandage around his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you get replaced by an imposter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai, already tying his own bandage, grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Confirmed. That's not the real Zoro.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WHAT?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro's jaw dropped just as Sanji launched a surprise kick, sending him flying overboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blrgh! You bastards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro surfaced, flailing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai! I'm not an imposter! That moron just attacked me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji shrugged. \"Guess it's really him. The real Zoro's too dumb to swim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai offered a polite nod. \"Sorry, false alarm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You liar!\" Zoro roared, drenched and fuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just wanted an excuse to get me kicked!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop fighting,\" Nami ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to the desert ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There it is. Alabasta.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy climbed onto the figurehead, sniffing the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm... I smell meat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai raised his left hand, wrapped in a fresh bandage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. From now on, when we land, we check for the mark. Bandage on the left arm—you're real. No mark? You're the enemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi watched everyone, eyes misty with gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you... all of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Luffy blinked. \"Why are you thanking us? We're crewmates, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai gave a relaxed smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you really want to thank us, how about a royal banquet after we crush Baroque Works?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's grin stretched ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feast?! Now we're talking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi lowered her head, trying to hide the tears in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in a restaurant on the island...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gulp! Gulp! Boss, five more plates of meat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shirtless man in shorts and an orange hat shoveled food into his mouth at terrifying speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empty plates were stacked beside him, towering like a small wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa... that guy's eaten enough for ten men!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People gathered around in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at that tattoo—Whitebeard's mark!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's a pirate, right? Should we call the Royal Army?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back on the Going Merry, Shirogai gazed at the golden desert coastline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Flame-Flame Fruit... Sand-Sand Fruit... Dice-DiceFruit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alabasta's going to be quite the feast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Join us on patreon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We're currently on Chapter (145) on the platform, that makes us 77 chapters ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Link: patreon.com\u002FZphyr_\u003C\u002Fp>",953,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.996Z",1,"novelbin.me","a74918b5e244dcd659ad775e703bd41a6b0a3b4da09a4649c03993f515771a81","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-69","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-67",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
