Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

However, as he stood up, his body gradually became unsteady, swaying unsteadily.

It looked as if a mere gust of wind could knock it to the ground.

Even though Crocodile is seriously injured, he is not willing to admit defeat. After finally regaining his footing, he suddenly charged at Shanks.

Shanks was also startled by this sudden turn of events and hadn't even had a chance to react yet.

Crocodile's head slammed into Shanks' chest, sending him flying backward.

Fortunately, Crocodile was already seriously injured at this time, and his power was not as great as it was at its peak.

Shanks only felt a sharp pain in his chest as he was thrown backward before regaining his balance.

After scrutinizing Crocodile for a long time, he slowly spoke:

"Crocodile has already lost. There's no need for us to continue fighting. If you still want to fight me now, you'll probably die very soon!"

"Go and treat your abdominal injury right away!"

Crocodile, however, completely ignored Shanks's advice.

He grinned and said:

"Shanks, didn't I tell you already? Our battle isn't over yet, and you haven't won. Why is there no need to continue?"

After saying that, Crocodile charged at Shanks again, maintaining the same posture as before, trying to collide his head with Shanks' body.

But how could Crocodile, who was seriously injured, possibly collide with Shanks?

Shanks was simply careless; he never expected Crocodile to be able to launch such an attack despite being so severely injured, which is why he was hit by Crocodile.

When Crocodile started moving, Shanks had already started moving as well.

His entire body suddenly shot out in one direction.

Chapter 0421: Shanks Wins

Crocodile was about to rush towards Shanks when, just as he was about to make his move, someone suddenly blocked his way and grabbed his body.

"Damn it, how dare you stop me? Don't you know our fight is still going on?"

Having said that, Crocodile was about to throw a punch at the figure in front of him.

But just as he threw a punch and looked up, he saw that the person blocking his way was none other than Captain Shiraishi Osamu.

He immediately tried to pull his fist back, but found that once he threw it, he couldn't bring it back.

Fortunately, Shiraishi Osamu was standing in front of him, and easily deflected Crocodile's punch.

"Captain, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"

After Crocodile blocked Shiraishi's fist, he stood in front of Shiraishi and said sullenly.

The white stone spirit completely ignored Crocodile's rude behavior and instead placed its hand on his shoulder, slowly saying:

"Crocodile, he did win your battle against Shanks."

"However, the two of you are not that different in strength. If he hadn't been a little more careful and seriously injured you just now, the outcome of this battle would have been hard to say!"

"But you should go and treat your abdominal wound first. Jinbe and the others are waiting for us at the camp!"

Since Shiraishi Shuu had spoken up, Crocodile had no choice but to accept the outcome of the battle, and he even wanted to walk back to the camp by himself.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, Shiraishi Xiu caught him.

"captain…"

"Alright, stop talking. I know everything. Let's fight Shanks again after you've recovered!"

Shiraishi Osamu interrupted Crocodile, knowing exactly what Crocodile was about to say.

So, without thinking about Crocodile, let's continue.

Fortunately, when Shiraishi Xiu arrived on the island, he prepared a lot of wound medicine for them.

Knowing how difficult the training would be and how fierce the beasts would be, these healing medicines were unavoidable.

I never expected Crocodile Shanks to be so badly injured.

Shiraishi Osamu turned to look at Shanks, knowing that Shanks was merely putting on a brave front at the last gasp.

After all, even if his head had been hit with such force, it was impossible for him to be completely unharmed.

0. Requesting flowers.......

Not long after Shiraishi Xiu appeared, the two, who were already at their limit, could no longer stand and collapsed together.

Fortunately, Bai Shixiu was quick-witted and nimble-fingered, and helped them both up in time, carrying them on his shoulders.

"Sigh, those two guys are really a handful!"

Despite saying this, Shiraishi Xiu quickened his pace, as he needed to get back to the camp as soon as possible to apply medicine to the two of them.

Otherwise, they might have to take a long time to recover from this injury.

I was planning to take them to other islands to buy fine wines.

Their three months of training have been so arduous; it's time for them to relax a bit.

Moreover, they might encounter some interesting opponents on other islands, which is probably what Crocodile and Shanks care about most.

A few minutes later, the commander brought the two back to the camp. After setting them down on a flat piece of ground, he had Jinbe take out the yams he had brought and put them on the ground.

After the bandages were finished, they began to eat the wild animal they had roasted earlier.

Chapter 0422: Return Journey

"Old Crocodile, Shanks, you two fought so recklessly, and look at what we're eating now, you can only watch?"

Bucky picked up a large piece of tiger meat and held it to his mouth, tempting Crocodile.

Unexpectedly, Crocodile slammed his fist down, and he bounced up from the ground.

He lunged at Bucky, trying to snatch the piece of roast meat from his hand.

However, he fell to the ground as soon as he lunged out with his "893" kick.

After all, the wound on his abdomen had just been bandaged, and when he suddenly sprang up, the wound tore open a little, and the immense pain made it impossible for him to stand up.

"what!"

Crocodile, lying on the ground, screamed once again.

There was nothing I could do; the pain coming from my abdomen was just too intense.

His forehead was covered in beads of sweat the size of beans due to the immense pain.

Seeing Crocodile's embarrassed state, Shanks, sitting on the ground, said disdainfully:

"Don't try to be strong if you can't move. Look at the state you've become!"

Who knew that Crocodile would once again display her indomitable spirit?

He struggled to stand up from the ground like a bull in a cage, and no one could hold him back.

However, this time he didn't go to get the roast meat, but instead went to collect the Super Shanks movies one by one, muttering to himself all the while:

"Who said I can't leave, Shanks? Open your eyes and look at what I'm doing right now!"

After reaching Shanks, Crocodile was about to attack him again, but Jinbe appeared in time to stop him.

He even took a piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into Crocodile's mouth to shut him up and prevent him from continuing.

Crocodile, his mouth gagged, was instantly unable to speak and could only make incoherent sounds.

"Hurry up and eat, Crocodile, stop causing trouble and finish eating so we can get back to Fishman Island!"

Jinbe stopped them, so Crocodile couldn't continue causing trouble.

They glared fiercely at Shanks before sitting down in front of the beast.

He tore into the grilled meat with gusto, having completely forgotten what had just happened.

He kept praising the aroma of the roasted meat.

The group was momentarily speechless; this guy's mood changed way too quickly.

You could have gone to other islands to buy fine wine as soon as you returned to Fishman Island, but you'll have to postpone it for a few days because of Crocodile and Shanks' current injuries.

They quickly devoured the beast, leaving its bones lying to the side.

Shanks, still savoring the moment, wiped the grease from his lips and addressed the crowd:

"Now that your training is over, let's return to Fishman Island today. I have other matters to attend to!"

"Oh, Captain, what about these two? How are they going to sail with us like this?"

Bucky asked Shiraishi Xiu, somewhat puzzled.

However, Shiraishi Shu didn't answer Baskin's question first. Instead, he glanced at Crocodile and Captain Shanks and said:

"Are you all okay? If not, we'll take you back to headquarters, and then Bucky and I will go to other islands."

Who would have thought that upon hearing Shiraishi's words, the two acted as if nothing had happened, even jumping and skipping in response. Even Shanks, who rarely spoke, was as lively as ever.

此.

Chapter 0423: Captain, Take Us With You

"No problem, no problem! Captain, we can handle it, just don't leave us stranded at headquarters!"

Crocodile and Shanks rushed to stand in front of Shiraishi and said in unison.

They were all afraid that if Bai Shixiu left them at headquarters, they would lose this opportunity to go out and train.

Although they were only going to buy fine wine, both Crocodile and Shanks knew very well that:

This trip will likely lead them to encounter some more despicable individuals.

"No matter who I run into next, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"

Crocodile muttered to himself, still brooding over his loss to Shanks.

If they happen to encounter some enemies on their quest to purchase fine wine, Crocodile will not hesitate to give them a sound beating.

He had been feeling really stifled during this period.

After three months of rigorous training, he not only became proficient in both types of Haki, but his strength also improved significantly.
