Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Since their captain dared to ridicule Captain Baishi Xiu like this, where do they, the crew members, stand?

"The Split-in Throwing Knife!"

As Buggy charged out, his body scattered, while Shanks, as always, picked up his longsword.

But they all seemed to underestimate Perospero; this guy was also a Devil Fruit user.

Just as their attack reached him, he used a strange object to block the combined power of Bucky and Shanks.

Moreover, neither Bucky nor Shanks' attacks caused Perospero any damage.

On the contrary, both of their weapons were controlled by Perospero at this moment, making it difficult for them to draw them.

"Haha, don't you two know I'm the Candy Minister of the Big Mom Pirates, a user of the 'Lick-Lick Fruit,' and Mom's eldest son? You dare to try and steal my territory?"

"What blocked your attack just now was nothing more than the simplest candy shield, which you couldn't even break through. I advise you trash to get out of my place right now!"

"Otherwise, you'll all be left here to die!"

Perospero became even more arrogant after blocking the combined attack from Bucky and Shanks.

I thought the three of them were just some novice pirates with a little bit of ability who had just set sail, but I never expected them to be such weaklings.

Even his most basic defenses couldn't be breached; how dare someone like that try to seize my territory?

I really don't know who gave them the courage. Could it be those two underlings who were standing behind them watching?

Perospero clearly saw the superior-subordinate relationship between Shiraishi Shu, Shanks, and Buggy.

Moreover, the two of them attacked him under the orders of Shiraishi Xiu. It's really hard to understand what this guy was thinking, taking two such weak subordinates out to sea with him.

Has he never heard of the formidable reputation the Big Mom Pirates have in the Grand Line?

They even dared to try and seize my territory, Perospero.

"Candy slime!"

Instantly, countless viscous liquids appeared from Perospero's body.

The liquid swept directly towards Bucky and Shanks, seemingly intent on killing them both.

Shanks' sword was still bound to his candy shield, but upon seeing the danger approaching, he instantly unleashed all his strength and drew the sword out.

Then he frantically dodged Perospero's candy-like slime. Just now, a shield was enough to stick to his weapon, let alone this seemingly larger and even thicker liquid. If he got stuck to this stuff, he would probably be severely injured, if not killed.

Chapter 0344: A Little Disgusting

Bucky, however, was not so lucky; his split hand and the throwing knife got stuck to the shield.

No matter how Bucky tried to control it, his hand wouldn't obey him and he couldn't control it at all. The stuck hand flew back to his body.

Fortunately, Buggy is a user of the Chop-Chop Fruit, so only one of his hands was trapped.

His other body parts had also split open, allowing him to better evade the candy-like slime released by Perospero.

The three were locked in a stalemate because Shanks was so fast that Perospero couldn't even touch him.

Bucky, on the other hand, was simply because his body was split into multiple pieces, making it impossible for Perospero to attack him.

During this time, Shanks also tried to launch his own attack. Given Shanks' personality, he would never allow himself to be in such a passive position.

Even when fighting Shiraishi Shu, Shanks was never constantly on the defensive.

He's just a candy minister under Big Mom now, so how could he have driven himself to this point?

"Candy Barrier 々||!"

As the red-haired man's long sword was about to fall on him, Perospero shouted.

Then a sticky barrier appeared around Perospero, and it was slowly flowing.

Shanks' attack landed on Perosperona's candy barrier, and unsurprisingly, it was absorbed by the barrier just like before.

This time, the slime was even stickier, and even with Shanks using seventy percent of his strength, he couldn't pull the weapon out.

Perospero, looking at Shanks' predicament as if he had already defeated them, said with a strange expression and disdain to Shanks:

"The three of you, before coming to my territory, why didn't you do your research first? This is my territory, Perospero's territory!"

"The candy barrier I used just now was extremely hard. It would be difficult to budge it even a little without using Armament Haki. Only idiots like you would try to slash it with weapons."

"Such weapons are of no use to me!"

Upon hearing this, Shanks finally seemed to understand something.

His longsword was also slowly being pulled away from the candy barrier.

Moreover, at this moment, the longsword had slowly turned from silver-white to black, which was a manifestation of the release of Armament Haki.

If it weren't for Perospero's reminder, Shanks would have completely forgotten that he also possessed Armament Haki.

Having been humiliated by Perospero for so long, Shanks finally found an opportunity, and how could he possibly let go of this chance to slap Perospero in the face?

'Oh, then take a look at what this is.'

Shanks dismissively answered what Perospero had just said.

He pointed to his long knife, a mocking smile on his face.

"I never expected that such an unknown guy would be able to use Armament Haki, but even so, do you think you can defeat me?"

Although I was very surprised to find that Shanks' weapon was covered in Armament Haki.

But in Perospero's view, this was nothing more than a futile struggle.

Even if this red-haired guy knows Armament Haki, so what? He's still helpless against me.

Chapter 0345: Instant Slap in the Face

"Hmph, so what if you can use Armament Haki? It won't change the fact that you've been defeated here today!"

Perospero was somewhat angry, as he had just said that they could only break through his defenses by using Armament Haki.

That red-haired guy actually used Armament Haki; wasn't he just slapping himself in the face?

"Since you love to dance so much, let's take care of you first, then deal with your clown friend!"

After saying that, Perospero charged at Shanks once again.

This time, however, he actually condensed the candy slime into the shape of a spear and thrust it straight at Shanks' chest.

If Shanks were hit by that slime spear, his body would probably have a hard time recovering, since the stickiness of this candy slime is just too terrifying.

"Slime spear".

"I gathered all the candy slime together and formed it into the shape of a spear. Now, this slime spear of mine..."

"Let's see how you're going to resist now, prepare to die, you bastard!"

Perospero shouted arrogantly at Shanks, his face contorted with extreme excitement.

"Perospero, why aren't you staying on Candy Island? What are you doing here!"

Perospero was surprised to hear a voice suddenly rang out.

"And who has come to his candy island?"

Although a sound suddenly appeared, it did not affect Perospero's throwing of his slimy spear.

Its hardness is in no way inferior to that of Armament Haki.

After throwing the slime spear, Perospero didn't even glance at Shanks again.

He believed that Shanks could not possibly withstand this attack.

So they went straight to the place where the sound came from.

When he turned around, he saw Bucky's face, but then he seemed to remember something.

When those three guys landed on the island, they didn't act like they knew me at all.

Now it seems they know exactly who's behind them, yet they still dare to set foot on Candy Island. Are they courting death?

"Do you even know who I am, yet you dare to set foot on my Candy Island!" (badj)

Perospero looked at the three of them as if they were already dead.

If they didn't know who they were, it could be said that they were ignorant. But these three people knew that I was the Minister of Candy, yet they still dared to come and seize my territory.

If Big Mom finds out, the three of them will definitely be left without any options.

"Oh? Long-nosed man, who are you calling a death wish?"

On the other side, Shanks was playing with the slime spear, but it was sticky on his hands, making Shanks extremely uncomfortable.

After he finished speaking, he immediately "returned" Perospero's slime spear to Perospero.

However, Perospero looked horrified when she saw Shanks return the slime-covered pine tree to her.

This is simply because Shanks's move doesn't literally mean returning the slime spear to Perospero.

Instead, he threw it directly at Perospero from his own position, the tough part of the spear aimed directly at Perospero's head.

"Candy Barrier!"

In haste, Perospero could only hastily conjure a candy barrier to defend himself against his spear.

Unexpectedly, this time he shot himself in the foot; the slime spear he created ended up being used on himself.

Chapter 0346: The Arrogant Perot

"Hmph, I didn't expect that you, a lowly lackey, could catch my large intestine. It seems you do have some strength after all."

"But all of this is in vain. It's already destined that the three of you will die on Candy Island today!"

After blocking the slime spear thrown by Shanks, Perospero spoke contemptuously.

Taking on two opponents at once gave Perospero immense confidence; he was the Candy Minister of the Big Mom Pirates and the eldest son of Big Mom.

He possessed something that others didn't from birth, which in turn shaped Perospero's arrogant and domineering personality.

He felt that apart from those who were famous, there were very few people in the world who could rival him.

These three thugs think that because they've defeated some insignificant characters, they're invincible in the world. That's utterly delusional.

Although Perospero had this image of Shiraishi Osamu and the other two in his mind, little did he know that it was also because of BigBang.

This made him extremely arrogant, and he didn't take anyone seriously at all.
