I'm A Plunderer In The World Of One Piece. - Chapter 569 569: 569: Prejudice in Cake Castle

“Oh! God King, you want to meet Mama?”

Pudding carefully set aside the notebook that Shirogai had signed, looked at him with a blank expression, and asked in mild confusion,

“If you can just go directly, why do you need me to announce it? Anyway, my brothers can’t stop you.”

Around them, the ministers of the Big Mom Pirates watched silently: Minister of Candy Perospero, Minister of Beans Daifuku, Minister of Biscuits Cracker.

Minister of Flour Katakuri helplessly muttered, this is indeed the truth, and the truth hurts the most.

Shirogai smiled gently, pointing at the obviously fake beard he wore as part of his disguise.

“My current identity is Marine Admiral, and it isn’t the right time to reveal this identity,” he said quietly, “If I appear directly in front of her unmasked, her instinct as a powerhouse will make her unleash her full strength without hesitation, causing a huge commotion here in Totto Land. By then it will be impossible to conceal who I really am. Given Charlotte Linlin’s personality, she absolutely cannot keep her emotions in check when she’s stirred up.”

“I see!” Pudding blinked, her big eyes fixed on Shirogai as she whispered with genuine curiosity, “But aren’t you worried I might betray you?”

“Oh? Would you?” Shirogai replied with a confident and trusting smile.

For a moment, Pudding’s face turned bright red as she stammered,

“Ye‑yes… I, I won’t!”

Her eyes turned into little heart shapes, and she gazed admiringly at Shirogai’s handsome face, her whole body going limp.

God King is so handsome!

Wow!

Suddenly steam burst from Pudding’s head like a geyser, and she toppled to the floor, her body radiating heat. The chocolate around her quickly melted, submerging her like a sticky swamp.

“Shirogai! Don’t bully Pudding!” Nami exclaimed as she gave him an exasperated punch, then turned and used her gold to pull Pudding, who was coughing and nearly drowning in melted chocolate, out of the sticky mess.

“Hehehe!” Luffy gnawed on a chunk of chocolate nearby, delighted that Shirogai had taken the hit instead of him.

“I didn’t do anything,” Shirogai said, uncertain whether to laugh or sigh.

He really did not plan to play mind games with Pudding, a girl who had been emotionally scarred and bullied for most of her life, forced to bury her true self, pretending kindness while hiding deep insecurity.

In Shirogai’s mind, Pudding was actually the type of person Sanji would eventually bond with — someone whose emotional wounds could only be healed by someone gentle and understanding.

Shirogai never considered himself a gentleman, but he certainly would not encroach on the affections of a beloved companion of his friends.

However, Pudding’s innocent disguise and guarded heart made her vulnerable, and she gravitated toward powerful figures due to a longing for strength and acceptance.

…

Mini scumbag theater:

Shirogai smiled wryly: I’m really not a scumbag!

Vice Admiral Dore protested: Hmph, scumbag!

Vivi objected: Hmph, scumbag!

Conis retorted: Hmph, scumbag!

Robin smiled knowingly: Hehe, scumbag!

Nami sneered: Scumbags always claim they’re not scumbags!

Juice Minister Smoothie yearned: Come, scumbag!

The Celestial Dragons screamed excitedly: Mwah, Omnipotent God King!

Okama King Ivankov complained: Hmph, scumbag!

Shirogai was shocked (voice breaking): Wait a minute! What’s wrong with you!?

Ivankov laughed oddly: Hee‑haw! Just joining the fun!

Shirogai: …

Alright, he admitted, he did sound like a scumbag sometimes, but truly, he was innocent!

Meanwhile, Sanji’s jealousy flared as he gritted his teeth.

“Bastard! Let go of those beauties! Let me do it!”

…

Cake Island

“Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…”

In a massive dark chamber, the horrid sound of stomach acid roiling echoed as if the room itself were alive. Homies of every kind were being seized in huge hands and thrown into a bottomless, blood‑red maw.

“Mama, Mama, please eat us slowly!”

“I don’t want to be swallowed yet, ah…”

“Hehe, it’s my honor to be eaten by Mama, how lucky!”

The eerie voice of hunger roared as Homies were devoured one after another.

This terrifying female giant, constantly devouring everything in sight, was none other than Emperor Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin — a force of nature whose appetite was as fearsome as her reputation.

“I want it so badly! I want that man’s bloodline so badly!” Big Mom’s mind obsessively replayed the scene that made her tremble with desire.

Resurrection!

Resurrection in the truest sense!

How did he do it? He crushed a fruit, and a hundred thousand dead rose from nothing!

Such power was beyond even her wildest imagination.

This ability was something even she, the one who granted souls to objects, yearned to possess. Yet that Talent Fruit had been completely consumed by him, and he had awakened it himself.

“If I could obtain that man’s bloodline and fuse it with the Charlotte Family’s bloodline, our family would birth even stronger powerhouses!”

At that thought, Big Mom’s hunger grew deeper, her desires more violent and unrestrained.

“Crack! Crack…”

Creak!

The massive door was pushed open.

Pudding entered timidly and whispered,

“Mama, Mama, the distinguished guest you’ve been waiting for, Omnipotent God King, he has finally arrived! He wants to see you now.”

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Big Mom’s enormous maw stopped mid‑chomp, her body trembling as her eyes narrowed upon hearing Pudding’s announcement.

“What!?” she roared, her voice shaking Cake Castle itself. “That Shirogai is here!? He dares to come see me?!”

Pudding whimpered softly as she quietly tried to calm her down.

“Mama, please be calm, Omnipotent God King doesn’t want this meeting to cause a scene.”

Bang!

Big Mom slammed her massive hand down near Pudding.

“Omnipotent God King?!” she growled coldly.

“That’s a disgusting title for Mama to hear!”

Her eyes narrowed as she slowly advanced, her gaze freezing upon Pudding. She reached out a massive finger and slowly lifted the strands of Pudding’s hair to reveal the hidden third eye on her forehead — a trait she had always buried to hide from ridicule.

“My dear Pudding,” Big Mom said with a cruel grin, “if your Omnipotent God King saw this ugly eye you hide, would he think you’re a disgusting monster?”

“Mama, I, I…” Pudding trembled, her face blank. The hope in her three eyes drained away.

Just then, a warm hand gently covered her quivering head. A calm, smiling voice spoke softly:

“I, on the other hand, think Pudding’s third eye is unique.”

“Shirogai!” Pudding gasped, light flooding her eyes as she looked in disbelief at the person behind her.

“Aren’t you supposed to create a kingdom where all races and beings can live together without distinction? That’s a noble ambition, yet you mock your own daughter’s unique traits?”

Shirogai stepped from behind Pudding, smiling calmly. He placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, like an older brother standing protectively beside her. Then he turned to face Big Mom, his voice firm and clear:

“Every race has its own beauty, Linlin. Is your understanding of diversity truly this shallow? No wonder Totto Land’s unity is only superficial. You don’t truly understand equality at all. Everything you’ve done has been a facade.”

“Shirogai!!!” Big Mom’s roar echoed through Cake Castle, reverberating like thunder.

Her massive face emerged from the darkness, bloodshot eyes smeared with purple eyeshadow, fixed on Shirogai with furious intensity.

“Combine with my Charlotte Family’s bloodline!”

Uh…

Shirogai stared at her, expression frozen, mouth twitching slightly.

“Please allow me to refuse.”

Are you kidding? This is scarier than any horror legend! He thought silently.
