Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Although the guy in front of me is weak, his abilities are indeed a bit strange. I don't know what this move is.

He could only keep his eyes on Crocodile, while simultaneously using his Observation Haki to constantly monitor the changes around him.

Chapter 0324: Just as the Rumors Said

But after a long time, Crocodile remained in the position of supporting himself on the ground with his hands, and nothing bad happened.

"Am I overthinking things?"

Bucky couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't noticed any changes.

Crocodile had just used the same move to tear the ground apart, which is why he tripped over it.

However, just because Bucky can't see something doesn't mean Shiraishi can't fix it.

"call out!"

With a whooshing sound of wind breaking through the air, Bai Shixiu's entire body suddenly floated into the air.

Neither of them saw what he had just done to suddenly appear above them, but only Shiraishi Xiu knew:

He felt the softness of the ground just now, so he immediately stepped onto the ground and left that dangerous place.

Sure enough, after Shiraishi Xiu left his original position, the ground where he was standing began to sink.

Not only that, but all the rubble and rocks on it were swallowed up by the softened ground.

Bucky, who was observing the fight between the two from behind, gasped in shock.

If that scarred guy had used that move on me, I'd probably be dead on this ground.

Bucky knew that if he were sucked down by the quicksand-like ground, he would have no chance of escape; he wasn't as strong as Captain Shiraishi.

However, his cool aura was not a manifestation of Shiraishi Xiu's strength.

Instead, they felt incredulous at what Crocodile was currently displaying.

After all, in his opinion, even if Crocodile was powerful, he wasn't much stronger than himself, and he was just asking Captain Shiraishi to come over to another page.

Barnes basically thought that even if he couldn't defeat Crook, Shanks would definitely be able to fight him to a standstill.

It seems that if this guy were to fight Shanks, Shanks probably wouldn't fare any better.

"Captain, be careful! This ability is too bizarre; it's sucking everything on the ground in!"

Even at this point, Buggy still spoke up to remind Shiraishi, even though he knew his reminder might be of no use in the fight between the two.

But Shiraishi Osamu was, after all, summoned to this place by him.

"Hmph, Crocodile, your move is still a bit lacking. If you had released it faster, I probably would have been trapped too!"

"Oh, Captain Shiraishi Osamu, it seems you really are as powerful as the rumors say. Why don't you try my next move!"

"Desert Treasure Sword!"

After Crocodile finished speaking, his arm transformed into a massive sand blade.

Once the charge was complete, Crocodile released the sand blade.

The sand blade magnified in Shiraishi Xiu's pupils and flew faster and faster. It was clear from this move that Crocodile had used all his strength. He must have known that if he dealt with it casually, he wouldn't even be able to touch Shiraishi Xiu's skin. So he had to use all his strength and keep a watchful eye on Shiraishi Xiu to escape the moment he showed a weakness.

He now desperately hopes that he can keep Shiraishi Xiu occupied for a longer period of time this week.

That would give Crocodile enough time to escape and stall.

Chapter 0325: Heavy Sandstorm

Not only Shiraishi noticed it, but Crocodile also noticed the sand blade flying towards him.

However, unlike Shiraishi Shu, Crocodile only observed that Shiraishi Shu might reveal a brief opening under this attack, allowing him to escape this damned place.

But everything was unexpected; he watched as the sand blade indeed flew towards Shiroshi.

But Sand Blade suddenly stopped in front of Shiraishi Shu. Crocodile's pupils dilated sharply at that moment, and he saw a scene he never believed in his entire life.

The sand blade she threw out was easily blocked by Shiraishi Osamu with just one hand.

That last strike had used up all of his strength.

Even so, it did not have the effect that Shiraishi Xiu wanted. It seems that he probably won't be able to wait for him to reveal a weakness, but so what!

We can't just sit here and wait to die, because if we do, we'll never be able to escape this hellhole.

"Heavyweight Sandstorm!"

As soon as Crocodile finished speaking, wind blades appeared around him, but these wind blades were covered with sand.

Crocodile's sandstorms crashed into the surrounding walls, causing cracks to appear on them.

Some of them had even turned to ashes, which shows just how powerful this sandstorm was.

Shiraishi Shuya finally changed his calm and composed expression after this move.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the sandstorm, Crocodile's expression turned slightly serious; only then would he appear more composed.

"What were those things you just did? They were like tickling me! Let me see how powerful your 'finger' really is!" Crocodile almost spat out blood when he heard Shiraishi's words. This guy's words were just too infuriating.

Even if you are powerful, there is no need to insult people in the future. If Crocodile were stronger, he would definitely have humiliated Shiraishi Osamu.

He wanted to let him know what the consequences of his words would be, but even though Shiraishi Xiu said that, he couldn't teach Shiraishi Xiu a lesson as he had hoped.

Soon, all the sandstorm in Krokdar was gathered.

Then a huge tornado swept towards Bai Shixiu and Qi Zheng, leaving no intact place in its wake.

All the sand and dust, including the hard rocks, were swept into the tornado, Crocodile thought:

"Now I can finally keep you occupied, right? Where did all that arrogance go?"

Not only Crocodile, but also Buggy, who saw the huge tornado, was slightly worried, except for Osamu Shiraishi himself.

Even though he was standing some distance away from the two of them, he was still slightly affected by the tornado.

I felt like I couldn't stand up and was slowly being carried towards the center of the tornado.

Fortunately, he managed to grab onto a stone pillar and stop, even though he was standing so far away, he was still affected by it.

If the captain were in the very middle of the fight between the two, who knows what would happen.

Moreover, when Buggy looked at Shiraishi Osamu, he noticed that Shiraishi's body was also moving slowly, little by little.

Could it be that even the captain couldn't withstand this tornado?

"Bucky, you'd better get as far away from us as possible!"

At this moment, Senior Brother Bai was even distracted by reminding Bucky. He did this because he was afraid that Bucky would be affected by the storm and he would need to save him.

Chapter 0326: Storm Breaks

But soon Shiraishi realized that Buggy was completely unable to move at the moment. If it let go of the stone pillar it was holding, it would be sucked into the tornado.

Moreover, the sandstorms surrounding the tornado were like blades of wind, filled with so much sand that their destructive power was terrifying.

Soon the tornado arrived at where Bai Shixiu was.

Surprisingly, he offered no resistance and let the tornado engulf him.

At this point, Bucky could no longer see what was going on.

He could only pray in his heart that nothing bad had happened to his family. Meanwhile, in the storm on the other side, Bai Shi Xiuzheng endured the countless wind blades sweeping over him.

However, the reason for this sudden occurrence surprised Crocodile greatly.

He never expected that his move would be swept up by Shiraishi Xiu.

No matter how powerful Shiraishi Osamu is, once he's hit by such a move, let's see how he escapes.

Even if they don't die, they will definitely suffer very serious injuries.

If you don't run now, when will you?

Crocodile's body instantly turned into sand and disappeared into the distance.

On the other side, Shiraishi Osamu, who was at the very center of the storm, felt countless pains coming from his body.

This is because those wind blades kept leaving large and small wounds on his skin.

However, despite this, Shiraishi Osamu did not collapse.

Instead, he stood still, letting the wind blades fall on him.

Only when he sensed Crocodile preparing to escape did Shiraishi finally make a move.

His body slowly turned dark at this moment, which was a manifestation of releasing Armament Haki.

As expected, with the release of Armament Haki, his body surface gradually became able to withstand the damage from those wind blades.

He then kept punching one spot, throwing dozens of punches in a row.

The storm stopped, and all the dust and sand that had been swept up fell to the ground at that moment.

Bucky also fell to the ground while clinging to the stone pillar due to the sudden stop of the storm, which caused him considerable pain.

As the sandstorm subsided, a figure slowly emerged. Before one could fully discern the figure's features, a voice rang out from within:

0. Requesting flowers.......

"Crocodile, did I let you go first? You think you can trap me like this? You're dreaming."

Crocodile, who had already turned into sand and fled, reacted as if he had encountered a ghost upon hearing this voice.

His body suddenly stopped in place, but he quickly realized what was happening:

He couldn't let Shiraishi Xiu catch him like this, so he fled even faster.

But would Shiraishi Osamu ever give him such an opportunity?

Since Crocodile won't listen, let him know that there's no way he can escape from me.

Shiraishi Shu lightly tapped the ground with his feet, and his entire body flew towards Crocodile's already sand-like body like a cannonball.

Although his movements were very light, a huge crater appeared in the ground where he touched it.

If Crocodile were here now and saw that crater, he might abandon his escape plan in an instant.

If such force were to fall on him, it would probably break several of his bones.
