Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

"You're not choosing a weapon?"

After selecting a katana, Haoshu asked Long a question.

"No need, I don't need any weapons to deal with you," Long said confidently.

Knowing that Jade Rat was a rather low-key person, Dragon didn't realize how powerful his opponent was.

So when fighting the rat, the dragon felt that he didn't need a weapon at all.

Upon hearing the dragon's words, the rat voluntarily put down its weapon and said to the dragon, "Since you don't intend to use your weapon, then I won't use mine either, lest you say I'm bullying you."

"Haha, do whatever you want!"

After hearing what Haoshu said, Long found it somewhat amusing.

What's this kid thinking about?

Do you consider him your rival?

Long didn't say much. Instead of wasting time talking to Haoshu, he figured it was better to just take action and get rid of him quickly.

“Let’s begin,” Shiraishi Osamu said.

Unlike Long, Shiraishi Xiu didn't sense that Tasuru's strength was weak. On the contrary, he could tell from Tasuru's demeanor that he didn't take Long seriously at all.

The rat's strength should be superior to the dragon's. The dragon underestimated its opponent and is in for a world of hurt.

After Shiraishi Osamu finished speaking, the battle began.

The dragon rushed towards the Haoshu and punched it in the face. The dragon was fast, but the fused rat was even faster.

Both of them were very fast and soon they were locked in combat, neither able to gain the upper hand.

"Those two are incredibly strong!"

Those watching from the sidelines were all very surprised to see the battle between the dragon and the Haoshu.

After all, they could roughly guess the dragon's strength, and the dragon's performance was pretty much as they expected.

Chapter 0109: No Suspense

But how could this Haoshu fight a dragon to a standstill?

It turns out this marrow rat had been hiding its true strength all along; in fact, it was already powerful enough to rival a dragon.

When Long first started, he realized that his strength was already on par with that of Di Shu, which surprised him quite a bit.

But as time went by, Long suddenly realized that he might not be a match for Haoshu.

This rat was much stronger than he had imagined; he had no way to deal with it.

"Just what kind of guy is he, and how strong is he?!"

The more Long thought about it, the more surprised he became, realizing that he had no way to deal with this guy.

Haoshu could also sense that Long was anxious, and said to Long with a smile, "If you feel that you are no match for me, then you should just admit defeat."

"Admit defeat?"

Upon hearing Haoshu's words, Long instantly felt displeased.

He didn't feel that the second rat could beat him. Although he couldn't deal with the strong rat when they fought.

However, Long felt he might not necessarily lose. Upon hearing the words of the Marrow Rat, Long angrily said to the Bright Rat, "You're the one who should admit defeat!"

"Is that so? Then I won't stand on ceremony," Haoshu said with a smile.

Originally, out of consideration for being part of the same unit, the Rat planned to deal with the Dragon slowly, at least to give the Dragon some face and make the Dragon's defeat less embarrassing.

However, it seemed that the dragon in front of him didn't take his strength seriously. So, it was no wonder that Hao Shu was determined to deal with the dragon quickly and let it know just how strong he really was.

"Watch closely!" Haoshu shouted, rushing towards the dragon and punching it in the face.

This time, the Haoshu was even faster than before. Before Long could react, he was sent flying.

Then, the rat's attack became even more ferocious than before, and the dragon could barely protect the vulnerable parts of its body, and even felt difficulty in fighting back.

Long Yue felt increasingly unwilling. He had trained with Bai Shixiu for so long, yet he was no match for an unknown kid.

What would Shiraishi Xiu think of this?

The more Long thought about it, the angrier he became. Suddenly, he felt a change in his perception.

The attacks of the white rat in front of us seem to have slowed down.

"Here!"

Just as the rat's fist was about to land on the dragon, the dragon quickly recognized it and then punched the rat instead.

Caught completely off guard, Haoshu was hit by Long's punch and sent flying backward.

'You're really good at arguing.'

Although Haoshu took a punch from Long, he did not feel that his body was seriously injured.

That kid, that punch just now must have been a coincidence, right?

I blame myself for being careless just now; I need to be more careful from now on.

The Haoshu continued its attack on the dragon, but the dragon's next reaction surprised everyone (Li Nuo's).

No matter which direction the Haoshu attacks the dragon, the dragon seems to be able to sense it in advance.

"The dragon activated its Observation Haki."

Others couldn't see the dragon's changes, but Shiraishi Xiu could.

This kid is really something; he actually learned to be domineering in this situation.

The rest of the battle was a foregone conclusion; although the Haoshu's attacks were fierce, they were no match for the dragon.

Chapter 0110: Natural-type Showdown

The battle ended quickly, and Haoshu voluntarily conceded defeat.

He realized that if the fight continued, even if he was exhausted, he might not be able to defeat the dragon.

Let's just admit defeat and stop wasting time.

Everyone was very surprised by this result.

Although they were surprised by what they saw, Shiraishi Xiu did not give them time to discuss it.

"Alright, let's start the next match," Shiraishi Osamu said.

We can talk about the dragon later; the main thing now is to complete this practical exercise.

After several more battles, it was time for Borsalino and Sakazuki to fight.

Everyone in 590 was really looking forward to the match between these two.

Because they also wanted to know which of the two Devil Fruit users was superior.

Especially since Shiraishi Xiu just stopped the two of them, and they don't know what he told them.

In short, their fight was the highlight of this actual combat exercise.

"Borsalino, Sakazuki, you can begin," Shiraishi Osamu said to the two.

The two walked to an open space, and Borsalino said to Sakazuki, "You'll have to go easy on me in this fight, I don't want to get hurt."

“Borsalino, stop talking nonsense and get to work,” Sakazuki said.

Although Borsalino said that, Sakazuki felt that Borsalino wouldn't hold back if a real fight broke out.

That's just how Borsalino is; Sakazuki can't do anything about him.

Borsalino nodded. After all, with so many people watching, Borsalino didn't want to waste any more time, and then attacked Sakazuki.

Shiraishi Osamu did not stop the two of them from using their Devil Fruit abilities.

Since it's a real battle, you have to show your true skills.

The fight between the two of them was the most interesting part of this actual combat.

Borsalino transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards Sakazuki. In a flash, Sakazuki's head fell off.

Everyone screamed. Sakazuki was dead just like that?

However, after Sakazuki's head fell to the ground, it instantly turned into lava, and Sakazuki's head reformed.

“Borsalino, don’t make a fool of yourself,” Sakazuki said.

Such a battle would be completely harmless to the two Devil Fruit users.

"Ugh, this is so boring. I don't know how long this fight will go on."

Although Borsalino said that, his body quickly resumed its movements.

He was still very fast, and instantly rushed towards Sakazuki.

When Sakazuki saw Borsalino charging at him again, he didn't just sit and wait to die like before, but instead launched a counterattack.

He is not as fast as Borsalino, but he seems to have surpassed Borsalino in strength by a large margin.

The two were fighting back and forth, while the people around them watched obediently.

After all, it's quite rare to see two Logia-type Devil Fruit users fighting like this.

But gradually, they began to find the fight a bit boring.

Borsalino and Sakazuki have essentially the same abilities.

The two of them fought like this, and neither could gain the upper hand.

Chapter 0111: Real Combat Showdown

Although Shiraishi Osamu had previously explained many methods for developing abilities to them, they were not yet ready to apply them in actual combat.

The battle didn't end until three hours later.

There was nothing they could do; Borsalino and Sakazuki both felt their strength starting to give way.

If they continue fighting like this, the two of them will soon be exhausted.

“Alright, it’s time for your fight to end,” Shiraishi Osamu said.

Only when they heard that the fight between the two had ended did the others breathe a sigh of relief.
