He might be... poisoned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai casually picked up his spoon, unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax, he's not dead. Just asleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Asleep? You serious? Who falls asleep while eating? And for this long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restaurant owner and other guests clearly didn't believe him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbothered, Shirogai savored a mouthful of curry and grinned at the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, you'd be surprised. I know someone who always falls asleep mid-meal. But fine, I'll prove it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under their tense gazes, Shirogai raised his hand and gently tapped the head of the supposed corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey. Wake up, your ass is on fire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's arm twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly, he jolted up—his left hand darting like a hawk's claw toward Shirogai's arm… only to grab air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Portgas D. Ace blinked in confusion, still halfway between dream and reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Told you he was asleep. Chef, another serving of this curry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai had already withdrawn his arm, continuing his meal without a care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already acquired the Flame Flame Fruit's data. Ace was no longer a target—just another interesting encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's… alive?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasps filled the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace, cheeks stuffed with rice, blinked blearily at his surroundings and finally let out a sheepish sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah… crap. I fell asleep while eating again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached for the nearest cloth—which happened to be the skirt of a stunned woman beside him—and wiped his greasy face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-you pervert!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman squealed and ran off, her cheeks red with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole restaurant buzzed with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He actually was asleep?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who the hell just knocks out mid-bite?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is a guy like that still alive, let alone traveling alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shhh! He's got a tattoo on his back! That's a pirate mark!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As murmurs spread, Ace kept eating, completely unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, whatever. This food's amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the crowd slowly dispersed now that the \"dead man\" had come back to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But amidst the people, one hushed conversation caught a dangerous ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's the Whitebeard Pirates' mark, right? Someone said that before—it belongs to a really powerful crew.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker had no idea who was listening... but someone was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A broad-shouldered Marine with two cigars in his mouth paused in his tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pirate with a Whitebeard mark...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Smoker, the White Hunter of the Marines, narrowed his eyes. He had gone to sea in pursuit of The Plunderer, and his instincts flared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The atmosphere in this country... it's wrong. Too much pirate activity. Something's festering here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his gaze toward the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whitebeard's crew... Why are they here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the restaurant…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? When did you show up next to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace finally glanced sideways and noticed the sharp-looking man eating quietly at the next table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai ignored him, too absorbed in his food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace studied him for a few seconds. Something about the guy felt… familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have I seen you somewhere before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai waved him off silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace frowned, thinking hard. Then suddenly, his eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh right! The bounty poster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dug into his bag and pulled out a stack of wanted posters. After a quick shuffle, he found the one he was looking for:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Plunderer, Shirogai Yamikuro\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bounty: 100 million Berries\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice-Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. Considered extremely dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap… this guy's bounty is insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace glanced from the poster to Shirogai, who was still chewing lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...He looks exactly the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way it's just a resemblance, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace, mildly face-blind, turned to the restaurant owner and called him over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, boss. Come here. This guy on the poster—isn't that him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?! That's a wanted poster?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner leaned in to look—only to freeze when he saw the image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face went pale. His knees buckled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned slowly toward Shirogai, now horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That dangerous pirate with a 100 million Berries bounty… was in his restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-this… this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man trembled, looking ready to bolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to flee, but Ace caught his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa, hold up, boss! Just answer me—he is the guy on the poster, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shhh! Are you trying to get us killed?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner hissed in panic, glancing at Shirogai who didn't even flinch at the rising tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's a Pirate with a hundred million bounty! If we don't run now, we're all done for!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace chuckled and patted the man's shoulder reassuringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. He's my little brother's Vice-Captain. He doesn't kill civilians.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Ace casually added, \"Also, I've got a bounty over 100 million myself. So you're technically feeding two pirates right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner dropped to the floor with a thud, practically in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-another one?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed shakily to a drawer nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All the money's in there… just… take it and go...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, boss. I like your cooking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved over to Shirogai with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Name's—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Portgas D. Ace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ace froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The low, gravelly voice had come from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward the entrance, eyes narrowing as a tall man with a justice coat stepped through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Smoker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge thank you to everyone who's joined my Patreon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you'd like to support my work as well, you can check it out here:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patreon.com\u002FZphyr_\u003C\u002Fp>",906,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.996Z",1,"novelbin.me","abbdcf1e10a4cdda7229ca6bdc74aa5e5d9ea343c89f68ba183427d6c2968a85","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-71","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-69",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
