Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

"So all you want to do is punish me?" Shiraishi Xiu asked.

“Of course, you should hurry up and run. If you have the time, you might even be able to have dinner,” Zefa said.

One hundred laps wasn't a lot in Zefa's eyes.

If Shiraishi Osamu's physique is truly decent, he should be able to complete this punishment.

Zefa didn't dare to go too far, after all, he saw that Shiraishi Xiu was a promising talent. If he really offended Shiraishi Xiu, it would be a great loss for the Navy if Shiraishi Xiu left the Navy training camp.

"I'll finish the run before dinner," Shiraishi Xiu said through gritted teeth.

Chapter 0022: Shiraishi Xiu's Limits

Faced with Zephyr's punishment, Shiraishi Xiu really had nothing to say. If he didn't complete the task, the consequences might be even more severe.

One reason is that Shiraishi Osamu doesn't want to leave the naval training camp right now, and another is that this punishment is really nothing to Shiraishi Osamu.

His displeasure stemmed entirely from his unwillingness to see Borsalino and Sakazuki leave unscathed.

If Borsalino and Saka "527"ski were to receive the same punishment as him, Shiraishi Osamu would certainly have no objections.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. Get started now."

Zefa smiled and said this when he heard that Shiraishi Xiu had agreed to the punishment.

Shiraishi Osamu sighed, gritted his teeth, and started running on the playground.

Since Zephyr said he didn't want to see him use any abilities, then Shiraishi Osamu should just not use them.

He started running on the track, a hundred laps, nothing special.

"Shiraishi Xiu actually started running? Do you guys think Shiraishi Xiu can finish?"

"I have a bad feeling about him. Shiraishi Xiu has already run a lap and fought with Borsalino and Sakazuki. He must have used up a lot of energy. His condition is not so optimistic."

"I think so too. It's too difficult for Shiraishi Osamu to run a hundred laps. He might not be able to finish it."

“But since Instructor Zephyr has given such a punishment, it will be even more difficult if Shiraishi Xiu doesn’t complete it.”

The soldiers couldn't help but whisper among themselves as they witnessed the scene.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Zefa heard the soldiers whispering and frowned, saying, "You've rested for so long, shouldn't that be enough? Get back to training. If I see any of you slacking off, you'll be running around the drill field with Shiraishi Xiu!"

The soldiers were terrified when they heard Zefa's words.

They knew that since Zefa dared to say such a thing, he would definitely do it.

Even Shiraishi Xiu might not be able to complete those 100 laps. If they were to run alongside Shiraishi Xiu, they would probably be half dead.

The soldiers quickly went about their business, while Ze Falu stood to the side, watching Shiraishi Xiu run.

Soon, only Zephyr and Shiraishi Xiu remained in the vast playground.

Zephyr didn't leave; he wanted to see how Shiraishi Xiu would handle the situation.

One hundred laps? Zefa felt he had said too much.

If Shiraishi Xiu cannot complete the task, Zefa can accept it. It mainly depends on how many laps Shiraishi Xiu can run and how much perseverance he has.

If Shiraishi Xiu couldn't continue after running ten or eight laps, it would mean that while his strength was decent, his willpower still needed to be honed.

Shiraishi Osamu kept running on the playground, pretending to be exhausted, but in reality, it was no different from walking.

As he ran, Shiraishi Xiu counted how many laps he had run. It was only a hundred laps, right? It hadn't been long at all; he had already finished three laps.

Zefa watched from the side, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

Anyway, he's started running, and he doesn't know how long Shiraishi Osamu can keep it up. He'll just have to wait and see.

"Shiraishi Osamu, don't let me down."

Zefa said in a low voice.

Shiraishi Xiu quickly finished ten laps. Although he looked very tired, Zefa realized that this was not Shiraishi Xiu's limit.

Chapter 0023: Sengoku and Garp

Zefa was getting bored just standing there, so he simply found a chair and sat down to watch how long Shiraishi Xiu could run.

"Zeffa, we heard you're disciplining a new recruit?"

At that moment, Sengoku and Garp walked over side by side.

When the two arrived at the playground, they saw Shiraishi Osamu running.

“Yes, you guys are really well-informed,” Zephyr said with a hearty laugh.

"What made you personally oversee the construction?" Sengoku asked Zefa.

Zefa has a terrible temper. Since he has said how to punish 10 people, those people must do as Zefa says.

Otherwise, the consequences would certainly be more serious.

Since Zefa has specified how to punish someone, that person will definitely have to complete the task obediently, without even needing Zefa to supervise.

But judging from Zephyr's appearance, he even moved a chair and sat down to watch, which is not Zephyr's style.

"There's nothing I can do. I don't know how long this kid can keep up, so it's better to just keep an eye on him," Zefa said.

"Oh? So how long do you think he can run?" Sengoku asked Garp.

“My punishment for him was to run one hundred laps around the track,” Zefa said.

"A hundred laps? Zeffa, are you trying to kill this kid?" Garp exclaimed in surprise.

If an average soldier were to run around this parade ground, he would be considered a promising candidate if he could run five laps.

Making someone run a hundred laps is practically killing them.

Zefa is really heartless, treating a new recruit like this.

“How could that be? I just wanted to see how much perseverance this kid has. He looks like a promising talent,” Zeff said to Garp.

Zeffa did this because he admired talent, but Borsalino and Sakazuki had no right to be punished by Zeffa.

“I’m very curious about something now. What mistake did this kid make that made you punish him like this?” Sengoku asked Zefa.

They had only heard that Zephyr was punishing a new recruit, but they hadn't figured out why he was being punished before they arrived.

Since Zefa was here too, they decided to ask him about it.

“He beat up Borsalino and Sakazuki,” Zeffa said.

"Borsalino and Sakazuki?"

Sengoku and Garp were no strangers to these two, after all, as the backbone of the Navy, they paid great attention to the new recruits every year.

Borsalino is a user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, and Sakazuki is a user of the Magma-Magma Fruit; both of them are extremely powerful.

Therefore, they were both very surprised when they heard that Shiraishi Xiu had beaten them up.

Who exactly is this young man who runs 530?

"What's his name? Why don't I remember him?" Sengoku asked Zephyr.

“His name is Shiraishi Shu. Judging from his appearance, he used to try to hide his strength, but Borsalino and Sakazuki provoked him, which is why he did this,” Zephyr said.

No wonder.

Sengoku and Garp nodded. With Shiraishi Shu's strength being so great, it was understandable that he would hide his strength a little if he didn't want to stand out.

"Tell me, how did he teach Borsalino and Sakazuki a lesson?"

Chapter 0024: Let's Make a Bet

When Garp heard about this, he immediately became interested and asked Zephyr.

“I didn’t see much. When I arrived, I saw Borsalino and Sakazuki tied to tree trunks and being whipped,” Zephyr said.

"Then Shiraishi Shu must be a Devil Fruit user, right? He's a Logia-type user?" Garp asked Zephyr.

According to Zephyr, Shiraishi Creek's Devil Fruit ability should be related to trees.

“That should be the case,” Zephyr said.

He himself wasn't entirely clear about the matter, so he just gave it a perfunctory response.

If they really want to ask, they can ask Shiraishi Xiu themselves after he's finished running around.

The most important thing right now is to see how many laps Shiraishi Osamu can run.

"This is really interesting."

Sengoku, standing to the side, asked, "How many laps did he run just now?"

“Less than five laps,” Zephyr said.

He was able to move a chair to sit next to him because he wanted to see exactly how many laps Shiraishi Osamu could run, so he was very concerned about that number.

Judging from the situation, Shiraishi Osamu should have no problem completing twenty laps.

"A very good kid, a promising talent." Garp said with a smile.

Zefa nodded and said, "I mainly want to see how strong his willpower is, whether he can really finish running all 100 laps."

“I have a bad feeling about it,” Sengoku said.

This playground has been built for so many years, and I've never seen anyone run a hundred laps around it. It's unlikely that Shiraishi Osamu could do that either.

Especially after noticing that Shiraishi Osamu was running entirely on his own physical strength, without relying on his Devil Fruit ability, they became even more uncertain whether he could complete the task.

"It's okay, let's see first. Do you want to take a look together?" Zefa asked.

“This is such an interesting thing, of course we have to stay and see,” Sengoku said to Garp.

The fact that they came to this playground means they don't have anything else to do today, and with such an interesting thing happening right in front of them, of course they want to stay and see.

“Alright, just you wait and see,” Zephyr said.

They fell silent, intently watching Shiraishi Osamu run.

"What lap is this?"

As time passed, Garp became distracted. When he came to his senses, he found that Shiraishi Osamu was still running.

His speed was not slower at all compared to before.
