Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

He realized that if Shanks were to be found, he could easily find him a slightly larger beast.

This beast, now over a meter long, is no longer enough to satisfy Shanks' needs.

However, Buggy's situation is rather bleak, because he relies too much on his Chop-Chop Fruit.

This caused him to become somewhat inferior when he abandoned his Devil Fruit powers, and he was even nearly injured by that wolf-like beast several times.

He subconsciously used his Devil Fruit powers multiple times when he was in danger, and was therefore severely punished by Shiraishi Osamu.

"Buggy has told you many times that if you want to master and use Haki skillfully, you must not use any other external force at this time. You must rely on your own body to fight!"

Although Buggy was well aware of what Shiraishi Osamu was saying, he had no way to deal with the danger when it came, and could only subconsciously use the Devil Fruit's power.

Crocodile on the other side was just average, fighting his opponent to a standstill, neither able to gain the upper hand.

"I'm afraid Shanks will be the first of the three to use Haki in battle, followed by Crocodile. As for Buggy, I'm a bit worried; he should..."

A very long time.

Shiraishi Osamu stood on the high ground, looking down at the three people below and addressed Jinbe.

"Yes, Shanks is not a Devil Fruit user, so it's just routine for him not to use those external forces."

"But Buggy is different; he relies too much on his Devil Fruit ability."

"In the short time that has just passed, I have used the power of the Chop-Chop Fruit several times to dodge the giant wolf's claws!"

The two of them took turns analyzing the current situation.

As for Crocodile and the others, they didn't say much more.

Chapter 0406: Mutual Struggle

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. During these three months, Bai Shixiu found many exceptionally ferocious beasts for them to temper their bodies.

After this period of training, all three have become proficient in mastering both types of Haki.

Shanks demonstrated exceptional talent in the application of Haki.

By now, his mastery of both types of Haki is comparable to that of some of the world's most renowned powerhouses.

When Shiraishi Osamu first brought them to this place, they were unable to defeat those beasts several meters long, and even the three of them combined could not handle them.

Now I am able to deal with such a beast on my own.

Just now, when they saw a ferocious tiger-like beast in the forest, the three of them rushed to chase after it.

During this period, they had dealt a severe blow to many wild animals.

As a result, wild animals are now rarely seen in the forest, and even Shiraishi Xiu has difficulty finding them.

They finally spotted a slightly stronger one, but it turned and ran away as soon as it saw them.

But Shanks and his two companions were not willing to chase after him the moment he fled.

Although this beast had never fought them before, he had personally witnessed how these humans had provoked his companions to retreat.

Every one of their companions who fought with them returned to the tribe covered in wounds.

So the moment he saw these damned humans, he turned and ran away, not wanting to have any contact with them at all.

"Shanks, Crocodile, none of you are allowed to take this from me! This prey is mine!"

After saying that, Bucky took the lead and rushed out, instantly gaining a head start over the other two.

But Shanks and Crocodile weren't going to be jealous either. At the same time that Buggy accelerated, they also stomped their legs hard on the ground.

He shot out like an arrow, overtaking Bucky in an instant.

"Bucky, it's hard to say who this prey belongs to right now. Let's see who can catch it first! But you don't need to fight me for it. It's definitely mine, hahaha!" Crocodile laughed loudly after overtaking the two.

In his view, he had already killed Wang Hu, and the two others behind him were not worthy of competing with him for his current prey.

Having finally mastered the use of both types of Haki under Shiraishi Osamu's tutelage, he couldn't afford to waste such a good opportunity.

0. Requesting flowers.......

Although Crocodile was at the forefront, Shanks didn't give him that opportunity.

He simply accelerated silently to catch up with Crocodile, unlike the other two who made outrageous remarks.

After Crocodile realized that Shanks had caught up with him, he shamelessly used his Sand-Sand Fruit ability to turn into a sandstorm and fly towards the tiger.

... 0

"Damn it, Captain, aren't you cheating? We were told that we absolutely cannot use any external forces on this island."

"Even our own Devil Fruit abilities absolutely cannot be allowed to be completely useless in enhancing our Haki!"

Bucky cursed loudly from behind, but he also knew that even with physical strength, the tiger was no match for the three of them.

Crocodile did this simply to get ahead of himself and Shanks.

With no other option, Bucky could only split his body into several pieces while still airborne towards the suddenly appearing prey, causing Shanks to land behind the two of them.

Chapter 0407: Stealing the Prey

Shanks saw that these two were shamelessly using their ability to make mistakes.

He abandoned the pursuit of the prey and stayed where he was, waiting for the two of them to hunt and kill it.

Shiraishi Osamu and Zenpei, who were following behind, found the scene somewhat amusing.

It's unbelievable that these three powerful figures, who are all somewhat famous on the Grand Line, would fight like this over a tiny tiger.

However, this also shows from another perspective what kind of confidence they have gained from being able to skillfully use two types of Haki!

Shiraishi Xiu clearly remembered that when he first brought them here, they couldn't even handle a two-meter-long beast.

Only three months have passed and they have almost no rivals left on the island.

Moreover, the first thing all the wild beasts did upon seeing them was not to tear their bodies apart.

Instead, he was thinking about how to escape from the sight of these three terrifying men who were like the Grim Reaper.

It is evident how much fear Bucky and his two companions instilled in the creatures on the island during this period.

Crocodile and Bucky were watching as they chased the tiger.

The two were like children fighting over a favorite toy, neither willing to give in.

But Crocodile was still a step above Pakistan, getting ahead of Brazil in front of the fleeing tiger.

When he got close to the beast, Crocodile reverted to his original form.

At that moment, the golden hook, enveloped in Armament Haki, lunged at the tiger.

As if sensing something, the tiger knew it couldn't escape these terrifying creatures today.

He turned around and lunged at Crocodile, who was charging towards him, opening his bloody maw.

But how could Crocodile's hooks, which were covered in Armament Haki, be torn open by him?

It collapsed to the ground the moment it touched Crocodile, blood still flowing from its mouth.

He looked completely dead, with no breath left.

"Haha, Shanks, look, it's mine now!"

Crocodile grabbed the dead tiger, turned around, and called out Shanks' name.

But when he turned around, he found that Shanks was nowhere to be seen; only Bucky was standing behind him.

Seeing that Shanks wasn't there, he could only pick up the prey and head towards their camp, thus securing his lunch for the day. Bucky was left alone at the spot where Crocodile had killed the tiger.

He was still resentful that he hadn't managed to snatch the prey.

But it wasn't until Crocodile's application disappeared from his sight in New Bugan that Bucky came to his senses.

Now that Crocodile has already obtained the prey, let's return to the camp first.

Their special training should be over by now. They should return to camp to see Captain White Rock Island and find out what the next steps are.

Pakistani couldn't wait to set sail and test the results of his three months of hard training.

If he were to encounter Perospero and Jack again, Bucky was confident that he could fight them with a 3.9 rating.

Even if we can't defeat them, we can at least hold our own against them for a while.

"That damn Jack humiliated me like that! If I ever see you again, I'll teach you a lesson!"

At this moment, Bucky had secretly made up his mind that if he encountered the Three Disasters again, he would make sure they knew they were not to be trifled with.

Chapter 0408: Bucky's Dissenting Opinions

"I've brought the captain back as my prey; those two guys definitely can't beat me!"

Crocodile found Shanks there when he returned to the camp; no wonder he couldn't find Shanks earlier.

But Shiraishi Osamu simply nodded at Crocodile without replying to him.

After waiting for a long time, Bucky finally arrived at the camp.

His gaze remained fixed on the tiger at Crocodile's feet, as if he was still resentful that Crocodile had stolen his prey.

"Captain, our special training should be considered over by now. What are our plans next?"

Bucky 10 asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

"Don't rush. Let's roast the game Old Sha brought back for our lunch. After that, I have another idea!"

Then everyone skillfully cleaned the tiger, and then gathered firewood to start a campfire.

After all, for the past three months, their daily food has consisted of the wild beasts they fought against.

After defeating it, we'll use it as roast meat.

After the five men worked on it, the prey was on the grill and would soon become food for them.

At this moment, Shiraishi Xiu called everyone over and said:

"Shanks, you've certainly made great progress over the past three months, but don't you want to know how your training is actually going?"

"I suggest you try out the use of your side-mounted Haki in pairs, since your previous opponents were mindless creatures!"

"An opponent who only uses their animalistic instincts to fight is not scary. What is scary are those who are intelligent and have a very strong fighting spirit!"

They also strongly agreed with what Shiraishi Osamu said.
