Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

"Okay, go help Redhead, and then buy some redstone from the other miners that we need. After you've done all that, prepare to return to Fishman Island and continue building the city."

Shiraishi Xiu knew that the three of them simply couldn't mine enough red stone in such a short time.

Moreover, there must be miners on this island; they only need to buy the required redstone from them in large quantities, and that will be enough.

"Yes, Captain?"

Daji was somewhat displeased when she heard that the white sled was asking her to go find Shanks.

But since it was the captain's word, no matter how bad his relationship with Shanks was, he would still do it.

Moreover, what the captain said was true; with only the three of them, it would be impossible to mine enough ore in a single day.

Then the only option is to find the native inhabitants of the islands where these minerals are found and purchase the redstone materials you need from them.

What Bucky couldn't understand was why the captain always made him trade money for what he wanted.

The same thing happened when transporting timber on another island rich in timber resources.

The captain repeatedly emphasized that one must never rob others of their property, and that any relevant items must be purchased with sufficient and matching wealth.

Since they are pirates, shouldn't they just rob what they want?

However, considering that Shiraishi Osamu was previously an admiral in the Marine Headquarters, it all makes perfect sense now.

Everyone in the Navy upholds justice, especially Captain Osamu Shiraishi, who holds the rank of Admiral.

He must also be filled with love for the inhabitants of this world.

But since the captain has given such instructions, Bucky just needs to do as he's told.

This time, Shiraishi Shu didn't leave Buggy behind and return to the ship alone. He went with Buggy to the depths of Sky Island to search for Shanks.

The two walked for more than a kilometer before they spotted Shanks' signature red hair in a mine.

Moreover, he had a straw hat hanging around his neck, and even without seeing his face clearly, you could tell that this person was definitely Shanks.

The two walked up behind Shanks, and Bucky suddenly punched Shanks in the back.

Shanks, unable to defend himself, staggered forward a few steps, then turned back and angrily cursed:

"Which blind fool is it? Can't they see I'm here?"

Upon first seeing Captain Shiraishi, Shanks was clearly somewhat stunned and at a loss for words.

"Yes...yes, Captain Bai is Captain Xiu. I'm sorry, I misspoke just now!"

Shanks stood in front of Shiraishi and said sullenly, "I don't think it's Buggy's."

Because after Bucky threw a punch, he immediately retreated into Shiraishi Osamu's deep embrace.

Therefore, in Shanks's view after turning his head, only Shiraishi Osamu had the opportunity to reach him within a certain distance and time.

Bucky was secretly overjoyed: This guy is really stupid; he clearly did it himself.

Chapter 0331: Shanks' Awkward Moment

"Alright Bucky, stop hiding, come on over here!"

After hearing what Shiraishi Osamu said, Shanks knew perfectly well that the person who had done all that was someone else, not Captain Shiraishi Osamu who had struck him on the back, as he had seen.

It turned out to be that wretched guy, Bucky. Shanks immediately glared at Bucky.

Those eyes seemed to be warning Brazil that he would be in for a beating when the captain wasn't around.

But Bucky completely ignored Shanks's murderous gaze and instead made a childlike gesture towards Shanks.

He stretched out his right hand, pulled down his skin under his eyes, and then stuck his tongue out at Shanks.

"This guy is absolutely shameless! He did something like that and then hid behind the captain to make himself misunderstand the captain. Isn't that incredibly embarrassing?!"

Shanks muttered to himself, but the other two didn't hear him.

He secretly vowed that when he returned to Fishman Island, he would teach Buggy a lesson he deserved.

"Captain, I've only unearthed a few cartloads of red stone here. This amount is probably just a drop in the ocean for us to build a city!"

Shanks showed Shiraishi the results of his day's work, knowing that it was far from enough.

But that's already quite an achievement; now it's up to the captain to decide on the next steps.

"Okay, I understand. Bucky and I will handle the remaining redstone. You can transport these truckloads onto our ship first!"

Shiraishi Osamu didn't seem a little unhappy that Shanks had only mined a few cartloads.

Van had Shanks transport these back to the ship first, and then he and Bucky would go to buy the redstone they needed.

After Shanks received Shiraishi's affirmation, he immediately transported the cartloads of stones to the ship. It would be too awkward for him to stay here any longer.

The things the captain had said earlier made her feel ashamed in front of Shiraishi Xiu.

Although Captain Shiraishi should know that he was referring to Bucky behind him.

But since these words were directed at the captain, Shanks didn't want to stay there for even a moment longer.

It would be too awkward to stay with Captain Shiraishi at this point, since Captain Shiraishi has already told me to first transport all these things back to the ship.

That gave him an excuse to leave, and Shanks now had no intention of escaping at all.

In the past week, Shiraishi Shu has completely won him over, and Shanks knows that his partner Beckman is still on Fishman Island.

If he escapes, Beckman will probably get a severe beating from Bucky.

Although Buggy isn't particularly strong, with Shiraishi building a stronghold on Fishman Island, Beckman certainly won't be able to cause much of a stir.

Even if Shanks immediately rushed to Fishman Island to rescue Beckman.

However, he did not believe that Shiraishi Osamu would fall behind him, mainly because Shanks did not have a ship to sail at the moment.

"Oh, right, there's a guy on Shanks' ship who's currently banging on the glass case like crazy. Keep an eye on him after you get on the ship, don't let him escape!" Shiraishi Osamu reminded Shanks to keep an eye on Crocodile.

Chapter 0332: Bucky's Thoughts

"Now that we've mined these materials, Bucky, take me to buy them quickly. We'll need more for our purposes!"

Shiraishi Xiu spoke to Buggy with extreme impatience, because he saw that it was already late and it would soon be dark, and he didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing.

We must get everything sorted out quickly and return to Fishman Island.

Because of what he had just done, Bucky was a little embarrassed to speak in front of Shiraishi Osamu, and did not answer him after hearing what Shiraishi Osamu said.

They took Bai Shixiu directly to a deeper area where they found a lot of red stone that had already been mined.

These miners all set up stalls here to sell their goods.

However, Shiroshi didn't make any selection at all. He simply bought up all the red stone materials that could be seen on the market and had the miners help him transport them back to the ship.

These sponsors were very happy to do this for Bai Shixiu, after all, Bai Shixiu was very generous and bought all the stones for everyone without saying a word.

These were all mined with great effort by them. They set up stalls here every day just to earn some money to support their families.

If Shiraishi Xiu buys all the goods from everyone at this point, wouldn't that allow them to finish work earlier today?

However, Shiraishi Osamu and Buggy did not do nothing even though the miners helped them with their transportation.

Shiraishi Xiu immediately rushed over and did the same things as these ordinary people.

Baji basically wanted to just go back to the ship, but after seeing the captain's actions...

Without thinking, he rushed forward. After all, if the captain had done it, how could the crew under him let the captain do it alone?

"It seems he really has a very good captain. No wonder Captain Shiraishi Osamu has so many supporters."

"When the pirate ship was just announced, several thousand people came to join us, but the captain certainly can't accommodate that many people all at once!"

"It seems I'm still very lucky to have been chosen by the captain and even become the captain of the first division!"

At this point, Bucky underwent a significant change, and he gradually lost his previous arrogance and domineering attitude.

You should know that Buggy used to be the captain of a small pirate crew.

Every one of his men was a scalper, a robber, and a scoundrel.

But since joining Shiraishi Osamu's pirate ship, Buggy has gradually become like Shiraishi Osamu, thinking about the people of the whole world.

He even felt ashamed of what he had done in the past.

If it were him, he wouldn't give these people a single penny; he would simply rob them of all their stones.

With the help of the island's inhabitants, they transported all the redstone back to the ship in just one journey.

3.9

However, when the two returned to the ship, they witnessed a very shocking scene.

Crocodile's guy had somehow escaped from the giant glass case, and Shanks was currently fighting him.

However, it was clear that Shanks had a slight advantage in the fight. Perhaps it was because of Crocodile's previous dealings with Shanks, who was constantly putting Crocodile on the defensive.

Chapter 0333: The Nemesis of Ability Users

"When did you guys get Bucky? I didn't expect him to be so strong. He's much stronger than you!"

After seeing Shiraishi Shu and Buggy return to their ship together, Shanks asked Buggy a question.

Because he knew that he hadn't seen this guy here when he went to quarry the stone before.

"He's just a despicable fellow. He even dared to provoke me just now, but he was defeated by Captain Shiraishi, the ship repair master, and is now trapped in this huge glass case!"

"Shanks, how did you get into this fight with these 10 guys? And how did he get out of the glass case?"

Bucky's words were full of questioning of Shanks. In her eyes, if Shanks hadn't released that scarred man, he would never have been able to escape that glass case.

After all, Crocodile had used all his strength but still couldn't break it, and he had also tried to break the glass case but to no avail.

If Shanks hadn't released it from the outside, how would it have gotten out?

However, Shanks completely ignored Buggy's question and instead looked at Shiraishi with a questioning gaze.

Only after seeing the red-haired man's gaze did Shiraishi Osamu slowly speak:

"This guy is a vicious pirate on the Grand Line. I just fought with him and captured him. Buggy, hurry up and start the ship. We need to prepare to return to Fishman Island!"

Shanks then realized who the person who attacked him as soon as he arrived on the ship was.

However, he was not surprised by the battle between Crocodile and Shiraishi, after all, even Shanks himself had been defeated by Shiraishi.

Upon hearing Shiraishi's words, Bucky immediately started the ship, knowing that staying there would only lead to trouble.
