Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Anyway, I plan to live a carefree life. As long as I have enough to eat and drink, I don't need to compete with others for anything.

But the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease.

Sometimes, when you want to keep a low profile, the people around you don't give you that opportunity, especially two natural monsters.

Shiraishi Osamu had a feeling that the two of them had inexplicably noticed something different about themselves, and even if they wanted to keep a low profile in the days to come, neither of them...

I will definitely give him this opportunity.

"Shiraishi Osamu, wanna have a race? Let's see who finishes first this time!"

Sakazuki took the initiative to approach Shiraishi Osamu, who was starting last, and it seemed like he wanted to challenge him.

Not only that, Borsalino, though he didn't say anything, also slowed down his pace and stood not far from Shiraishi Shu.

Shiraishi Osamu felt a headache coming on.

I was just a nobody to begin with, so why are these two suddenly getting so close? Aren't they deliberately trying to put my reputation in the spotlight?

We finally managed to start all over again and manage to get through this period in a low-key manner, but now we've ended up in this situation. What are we going to do now?

If I pretend to be weak and refuse to compete now, I'll inevitably get entangled with those two.

If I beat them in the competition, wouldn't I be the monster among monsters?

These two guys, Akainu and Kizaru, are destined to become admirals. What are they doing here acting foolishly?

"Haha, Sakazuki, everyone knows you're a monster among the newcomers. How could someone like me possibly compare to you? You've picked the wrong person!"

Shiraishi Osamu tried to decline, observing Sakazuki's and the people around him's reactions.

When he speaks, he can also appear very humble, as if afraid that any of his words might make people think that he doesn't respect Sakazuki.

It is extremely difficult to appear incredibly powerful, but it is a hundred times more difficult to feign weakness than to appear strong.

"Are you looking down on me? Do you think I'm not worthy to be your opponent?"

Sakazuki's expression was extremely grim, and the direction he was taking in the problem made Shiraishi Osamu feel even more pressured.

Chapter 0003: Running Competition

Shiraishi Xiu didn't think that way; he just didn't want to be too flashy. But seeing Sakazuki's expression of wanting to turn hostile made Shiraishi Xiu feel immense pressure.

"Oh, I think he just looks down on you."

Borsalino chuckled and said from the side.

Anyway, this is a matter between Shiraishi Osamu and Sakazuki, and Borsalino doesn't mind making things worse.

Is that really the case?

Sakazuki clenched his fists, looking as if he was about to attack Shiraishi Osamu.

"You're really difficult to deal with."

Shiraishi Xiu shook his head and said helplessly, "Since you've said so much, I'll grant your wish. Let's begin."

“You race against the ten of us. Whoever finishes a lap around this track first wins,” Borsalino said.

“I have no objection,” Sakazuki said.

Shiraishi Osamu said, "Then let's do it your way. Get ready to count down from three."

As the three finished counting in unison, they sprinted forward at top speed.

The training ground is very large; it would be considered good if an ordinary soldier could run it in ten minutes. However, Borsalino and Sakazuki are both Logia-type Devil Fruit users, and their physical abilities...

Their strength and speed far exceed those of ordinary soldiers.

Borsalino, in particular, could run the entire track in the blink of an eye if he wanted to.

However, the two seemed to have an unspoken understanding, and when running on the track, they did not use their abilities, relying entirely on their own physical strength and speed.

At the beginning, the two of them sprinted forward and easily left Shiraishi Xiu behind.

In just a few breaths, Bai Shixiu seemed to be about to surpass them.

"That kid is fast!"

Sakaschi and Borsalino were both somewhat surprised.

Even though they knew that Shiraishi Xiu was hiding his strength, the speed he displayed still left the two of them speechless.

"Hey kid, if you just admit defeat, we won't make things difficult for you."

Borsalino suddenly spoke to Shiraishi Shu.

“I’m admitting defeat? You’re the one who should be admitting defeat,” Shiraishi Xiu said.

That Borsalino, he really has a big mouth. He started running right away and told Shiraishi to admit defeat.

Shiraishi Xiu's immediate rebuttal displeased Borsalino, who said to him, "You'd better think this through. We haven't placed any bets yet. Now let's add them. Whoever loses has to lick the other's shoes!"

Licking leather shoes?

Borsalino has a really twisted sense of humor. After a day of training, the soldiers are covered in stench, their shoes look like they were taken out of a cesspool. If you were to lick their shoes, you'd probably throw up your dinner from the night before.

“I can already picture you licking my shoes,” Polsa517 Lino said to Shiraishi Xiu with a smile.

Sakazuki remained silent, and I suspect he was thinking the same thing.

"Did you hear that? Borsalino said whoever loses has to lick the other's shoes!"

"Of course I heard that. It's really interesting. It's obvious that Borsalino and Sakazuki are trying to bully Shiraishi Shu."

"Shiraishi Xiu is really unlucky; he actually provoked those two guys."

The soldiers, of course, learned of the contest between the three and stood by watching the spectacle with amusement.

The daily training is very monotonous, so having something like this to watch is somewhat interesting.

Chapter 0004: Losing Means Licking Shoes

They became even more excited after hearing Borsalino's bet.

Although Shiraishi Shu hasn't lost yet, Borsalino and Sakazuki are always ahead, and it's only a matter of time before they outrun Shiraishi Shu.

If Shiraishi Shu doesn't admit defeat now, he'll be left licking their shoes later.

"Borsalino, you seem to have gone a bit too far."

Shiraishi Osamu spoke to Borsalino with a gloomy face.

Originally, Shiraishi Xiu had no intention of racing with them, and he only agreed to the task in the end to give them some face.

Borsalino's suggestion that the loser would have to lick his shoes was clearly an attempt to make things difficult for Shiraishi Shu.

“I don’t think I’m being unreasonable. The winner takes all. If you beat us, we could lick your shoes. But I don’t think that’s going to happen. You’d better just admit defeat,” Borsalino said provocatively.

“Stop wasting your breath on him, Borsalino, let’s beat him first,” Sakazuki said.

It's obvious that Shiraishi Osamu can't outrun them.

After they reach the finish line, we'll slowly offer Shiraishi Xiu some conditions.

“Okay, we’re not short of time,” Borsalino said.

In the short time it took to talk, they had already run half a lap and were just a short distance from the finish line.

It's not too late to talk about other things after they reach the finish line.

"You two!"

Shiraishi Xiu gritted his teeth. If they didn't appreciate his kindness, then they wouldn't blame him.

"Oh dear, you're still angry?"

Borsalino became even more smug when he saw Shiraishi Shu's face turn pale with anger.

Judging from Shiraishi Xiu's condition, he is unable to perform as usual, and Shiraishi Xiu will undoubtedly lose this match.

Borsalino felt unusually excited at the thought of making things difficult for Shiraishi Osamu later.

"I'm not angry, I just find it strange that you have a habit of licking other people's shoes," Shiraishi Osamu said, taking a deep breath.

"Oh dear, you're starting to talk nonsense, how amusing!"

After hearing Shiraishi Shu's words, Borsalino became even more unscrupulous.

It's obvious that Shiraishi Shu is already furious, and he's bound to lose the match.

"Just stay put in the back!"

Shiraishi Xiu roared, his running speed suddenly increasing, instantly overtaking Borsalino beside him.

'What?"

Borsalino was taken aback, not expecting Shiraishi Shu's explosive power to be so formidable.

"Sakazuki, speed up! Don't let Shiraishi overtake you!"

Borsalino quickly called out to Sakazuki, who was at the front.

The moment Sakazuki turned around, he saw Shiraishi rushing towards him, leaving him behind.

"Look, everyone! Shiraishi Shu has actually surpassed Borsalino and Sakazuki!"

The soldiers watching looked on in disbelief when they saw Shiraishi Osamu (Li Dezhao), Borsalino, and Sakazuki pass by.

Could it be that Shiraishi Osamu was hiding his strength from the very beginning?

Although Borsalino and Sakazuki didn't use their Devil Fruit abilities in this match, their stamina was already several times greater than that of ordinary people. Yet, this seemingly unremarkable Shiraishi Osamu actually surpassed both of them during the match? Unbelievable!

Chapter 0005: The Main Event

Although Shiraishi Shu has surpassed Borsalino and Sakazuki, the finish line has not yet been reached, and anything is still possible.

"Maybe Borsalino and Sakazuki threw the game? Anyway, the match isn't over yet, let's wait and see."

The soldiers couldn't help but say something when they saw that the match wasn't over yet.

"That's true. I feel that although Shiraishi Osamu's strength is decent, it will be a bit difficult for him to beat them."

This time, the soldiers were no longer watching the game with amusement, but were observing it very seriously.

Although Borsalino and Sakazuki are the best in this recruit training, if Shiraishi Shu can beat them both in this match, he will definitely become the best in this recruit training.

They could only wait and see how things would develop.
