Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

After saying that, Shanks chased after Crocodile in the direction he had fled.

Regardless of whether the captain will go and bring Crocodile back, he himself must make the corresponding efforts.

So before receiving a reply from Shiraishi Osamu, he immediately left Shiraishi Osamu's residence.

But Shiraishi Shu would never let go of Crocodile, a pirate who is not only powerful but also ruthless.

The reason he didn't go out with Shanks immediately was simply because Shiraishi knew that catching up with the two of them wouldn't be difficult.

If they just need to be a little faster, Crocodile won't be able to escape Fishman Island.

Chapter 0337: Let You Go

"Crocodile, did I tell you to escape Fishman Island?"

"What are you doing now? Don't you know you can't escape this Fishman Island?"

Shiraishi's words kept echoing in Crocodile's ears, but when he turned his head, he only saw Shanks behind him.

Where did the sound I heard come from?

That despicable guy, Shiraishi Osamu, doesn't seem to be here. How did his voice appear? Am I really hallucinating? Unable to figure out what was going on, Crocodile didn't dare to linger for even a moment.

Upon seeing Shanks chasing after him, he immediately increased the speed of the sand's flow.

He knew he absolutely could not be held up by Shanks here. Once Shiraishi arrived, he would truly be doomed.

"Hmph! Shanks, I advise you to mind your own business. If you want to escape from here with me, then hurry up and come over!"

Shanks completely ignored him, and instead, the moment Crocodile accelerated, he also sped up his legs.

Shanks naturally heard what Shiraishi Osamu had just shouted.

I thought Shiraishi Shu wouldn't care much about a pirate like Crocodile.

It was only natural for her to go and inform him, but she didn't expect the captain to actually catch up and try to stay.

However, Shanks's perception of Crocodile's abilities underwent a complete transformation once again.

Aside from his impressive strength, this guy doesn't seem to have anything else that can attract Captain Shiraishi.

Moreover, Crocodile's past actions were contrary to those of the captain, so what was the captain's purpose in keeping him?

However, since Captain Shiraishi has already arrived here, I don't need to worry about it anymore.

Shanks's speed in chasing Crocodile was getting slower and slower, and the distance between the two of them was constantly increasing.

Crocodile, who was ahead, was very surprised by this:

"What's wrong with Shanks? Why did he stop chasing me halfway through? Did he have a change of heart and want to let me go?"

However, Crocodile couldn't care less about that. It was fortunate that Shanks wasn't coming to hunt him down, giving him more time to escape Fish-Man Island.

Little did he know that the voice of Shiraishi Xiu that he had just heard was not a hallucination, but rather that Shiraishi Xiu was actually not far from him at that moment.

It was simply because Shiraishi Shu's power was too great that Crocodile couldn't see his body at all when he made that telepathic transmission.

If Crocodile knew that Shanks stopped because Shiraishi Osamu suddenly appeared there...

It was unclear whether he should continue to flee or surrender under Shiraishi Xiu's oppressive aura.

Because Crocodile had no idea that Shiraishi Shu had already released version 3.9 and was currently here.

So when Shiraishi came up behind him, Crocodile still didn't notice. He was struck by Shiraishi's palm and staggered forward and fell to the ground again. This was the second time Crocodile had experienced this today. The last time was when he was being hit by Shiraishi while escaping from the mining island, which caused this.

But this time, Shiraishi Osamu didn't show up at all.

Chapter 0338: Boarding the Ship

Besides Shiraishi Shu and Shanks, who else on this island could make him stagger and fall to the ground with a single blow?

But Shanks clearly didn't follow up just now, so who was it that got knocked away?

Crocodile turned around with difficulty and saw a face he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Surprisingly, Shiraishi Xiu followed his flying body and arrived in front of him.

Because Crocodile suddenly turned his head, Shiraishi Shu's face was fully exposed to him.

"Damn it! I thought this was a good opportunity to escape Bai Shixiu's clutches, but who would have thought that this guy would be so persistent, even catching up at a time like this!"

"10

After Crocodile was knocked away by Shiraishi Shu, he kept muttering to himself in mid-air.

He quickly turned his staggering body around and stood up, facing Shiraishi Xiu behind him.

"Whether I can escape or not shouldn't be up to you, Captain Shiraishi. Since you think I can't escape from here, then let's give it a try!"

Crocodile immediately pushed off the ground with both feet, making him much faster than before.

However, this sudden exertion aggravated his already injured internal organs, causing him to vomit blood.

Even though Crocodile had coughed up blood due to his severe injuries, how could Shiraishi Shu let her go?

At this moment, Shiraishi Shu and Crocodile looked at each other in bewilderment.

Crocodile's inner thoughts were:

Didn't you just give me a chance? How come you're in front of me again so quickly? Shouldn't I be the one flying out faster?

But Shiraishi gave him no chance to react at all, raising his right fist and striking out like Crocodile.

Crocodile was no match for Shiraishi Shu's attack.

He could only raise his arms with difficulty to block his chest, but Shiraishi Xiu's strength was too great, and several bones in his arms were broken as a result.

Crocodile could almost hear the sound of his own hand bones breaking.

But then Shiraishi Shuu, Crocodile, charged towards him again.

He couldn't pay attention to the pain from the broken hand bone; he could only keep thinking about how to dodge Shiraishi Xiu's attack next time.

But Shiraishi Shu was too fast; Crocodile didn't even have time to react before Shiraishi Shu was right in front of him.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Crocodile thought he would be sent flying by Shiraishi Shu again.

But he noticed that Shiraishi Osamu's fist looked enormous to him at that moment.

Shiraishi Osamu's attack actually landed right in front of his eyes and head, without extending further forward.

For some reason, Crocodile now feels a sense of relief, as if he has survived a catastrophe.

After suffering this severe injury, Crocodile finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to escape and suddenly appeared in front of Shiraishi Shu, saying:

"Captain Shiraishi Shu, I'm willing to join your pirate ship. I hope you can forgive and forget about the past!"

Osamu Shiraishi was very pleased that Crocodile had surrendered.

This guy was originally Shiraishi Osamu's target, but he turned out to be much easier to deal with than Shanks. Shanks had to run away for more than a week back then.

Now that Crocodile has joined Shiraishi Osamu's pirate crew, there's no need to pursue them any further.

Chapter 0339: Fruit Island

Crocodile, this restless individual who was always thinking about escaping, finally agreed to join Shiraishi Osamu's pirate ship after being brutally beaten by him.

Now things have finally settled down, and with his addition, the pirate ship's strength will reach a new level.

This time, they not only found the redstone needed to build the city on the mining island, but also recruited people like Crocodile to their ship.

Moreover, looking at Crocodile's current state, its potential problems have been almost completely resolved.

Now, Shiraishi Osamu owns several islands, each of which requires a dedicated person to be responsible for its care, maintenance, and operation.

Therefore, at this time, he urgently needed a large number of capable people who were also natural-born managers to join his fleet.

At this point, Shiraishi Shu had no shortage of ordinary pirates.

The reason is that after news of his defeat of two Marine Admirals spread, tens of thousands of pirates came to join his forces.

Originally, only Bucky on his ship was capable of doing such a thing.

The addition of Shanks, Beckman, and Crocodile is undoubtedly a godsend for him.

Next, Shiraishi Osamu will establish his own maritime empire.

Building cities and recruiting people are things that must be done.

Afterwards, Shiraishi Osamu planned to select an island to grow fruit and provide fruit for the other islands.

In addition, Shiraishi Osamu will also build various other islands.

However, with the current manpower, even if too many islands were built, there would be no suitable people to manage them.

Therefore, Shiraishi Osamu's statement will definitely be put on hold for a while, but establishing Fruit Island is an urgent matter.

With that in mind, Shiraishi Osamu didn't delay any longer and, along with Buggy and Shanks, began searching for a suitable location near Fishman Island for his Fruit Island plan.

Although several nearby islands were already under Shiraishi Xiu's control, Shiraishi Xiu chose to establish his headquarters on Fishman Island.

Because the Celestial Dragons of the World Government really like to capture the fish-men of Fisherman's Island to be their slaves.

The last time Shiraishi Osamu helped the residents of Fishman Island thwart a conspiracy by the World Government, he also did so on Fishman Island.

Establishing the headquarters on Fishman Island will allow Shiraishi Shu to better protect the people of Fishman Island.

Moreover, the residents of Fishman Island seem to be very warm and hospitable, treating Shiraishi Osamu as their own companion.

Every fishman was much friendlier to Shiraishi Xiu's crew than to other humans.

You should know that the people of Fishman Island hate humans on land, especially the Celestial Dragons.

It's absolutely impossible for someone to be so friendly to such a large group of pirates.

"Bucky Shanks, you two come with me to explore the nearby islands!"

(The money)

The two immediately trotted over and stood in front of Bai Shixiubaji, asking:

"Captain, what are we going out to do this time?"

"When I have nothing to do, I just go out for a stroll and see if there are any islands that are suitable for growing fruit!"

Osamu Shiraishi answered Buggy's question without a care in the world.
