Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Osamu Shiraishi's sudden words pulled Olvia out of his own thoughts.

After thinking about it, what Shiraishi Osamu said wasn't entirely unreasonable. If this really was a trap set by the World Government, what should be done?

Olvia was well aware that the World Government absolutely did not want their race to survive in the world.

If this is indeed what Shiraishi Osamu said, and it's just a bait, then what should we do?

Shiraishi Xiu saw the inner turmoil in Olvia's heart. He couldn't shatter Olvia's hopes, so he could only continue, saying:

"Whether it's a decoy left by the World Government or not, we have to go and check it out. With me here, those guys will have absolutely no chance to hurt you!"

Shiraishi Osamu's words captivated him; every word he uttered brought him a profound sense of security.

It was as if as long as Shiraishi was by their side, they would not suffer any harm, even the world government at its zenith could not possibly do so.

"Ok!"

Olvia responded softly, then fell into her own thoughts again. After all, it was really hard to say whether things were really as they thought.

Chapter 0474: The Calm Before the Storm

If that's the case, Olvia would probably regret bringing Shiraishi into her plans.

However, this historical inscription stone is genuine, dating back to before Shiraishi Shu arrived at Fishman Island.

Olvia had already found out everything about this auction, especially about the historical inscription stone.

To this day, it remains unknown who put it up for auction.

Shiraishi Xiu seemed to sense his hesitation and continued:

"Don't worry so much. Whether it's a trap or not, we're going. If it really is those reckless guys from the World Government, I don't mind making sure they don't come back alive!"

Shiraishi Osamu spoke each word with great force, as if the World Government were her enemy.

Every word he uttered was a testament to his resentment toward the world government.

"Captain Shiraishi, what exactly is this historical monument in the World of Warcraft? Why did you set off again right after returning to Fishman Island without even resting?!"

"Old Shah's historical inscription records things that could affect the entire world. Do you think it's important?"

"And I don't know if you've heard of the Buster Call incident on Ohara Island."

"The World Government wanted to kill all the scholars on Ohara Island to prevent others from knowing the information in the Poneglyphs!"

Shiraishi's words made Crocodile realize just what their purpose was!

He stopped talking instantly.

No wonder the captain said the World Government could only be located on Gran Island.

"If those guys really dare to show up, we'll definitely teach them a lesson!"

Crocodile muttered to himself.

He wasn't afraid of anyone, not even the emperors of the new world.

This can be seen from the time when Shiraishi and the others met on the mining island.

If Shiraishi Shuichi hadn't ultimately impressed him with his absolute strength, he probably wouldn't have been able to join Shiraishi Shu's pirate crew.

So Crocodile was actually even more excited if he were to actually encounter those bastards from the World Government.

While the three men each harbored their own thoughts, their ship sailed to the port of Commercial Gran Island.

After Shiraishi Osamu docked the ship, he led Olvia and Crocodile to the rich island.

The port is now packed with people who have come from all over the world.

The location where Shiraishi Xiu docked their ship was quite difficult to find, so these people must all be here for this auction.

Moreover, it seems that Shiraishi Osamu is still docked in the port, and I saw several very familiar ships among them.

Among them are many notorious pirates, and even the Navy Headquarters has three warships stationed here.

It's easy to imagine that both the Navy Headquarters and the pirates on the Grand Line attached great importance to this auction.

However, to Shiraishi Osamu's surprise, there were no World Government ships docked at the port.

That's precisely why it's so abnormal; the people from the World Government, who are most interested in the Poneglyphs, would absolutely not be absent from this island.

Shiraishi Osamu had a premonition that many unpleasant things were about to happen.

Like the calm before a storm, danger lurks beneath the surface.

Chapter 0475: The Whitebeard Pirates

Crocodile had no idea what the Poneglyphs that Shiraishi Osamu was talking about were.

However, he is still recognized by Crocodile, one of the famous pirates who have appeared on Gran Island.

Their gathering on Gran Island is enough to show that there's something they want at this auction.

Crocodile was thinking to himself, "What will happen when we get to the auction house?"

We must see what exactly that historical inscription stone tablet that attracts so many powerful figures is.

"Captain, isn't that the Whitebeard Pirates' flag?"

Crocodile pointed to the harbor and saw a magnificent ship moored there. Its pirate flag bore two fangs, clearly belonging to the infamous White Tiger Pirates 937th Division.

The ship the three of them were on was utterly insignificant compared to that ship; there was no comparison whatsoever.

Shiraishi Shuu also shifted his gaze to the ship Crocodile was pointing at during Crocodile's words.

"As expected of Whitebeard's ship. There's no difference without comparison. It seems that after this mission on Gran Island, we'll have to build some larger ships back on Fishman Island."

"Now that there are more and more brothers on board, these small boats are simply not enough to support our voyages!"

Upon hearing Shiraishi's words, Crocodile's face instantly darkened, and he muttered to himself:

"The captain has finally figured it out! Despite possessing such immense strength, the ship they're on is still so small. This completely contradicts the spirit of the White Stone Pirates."

Then his gaze shifted to Shiro Shixiu. When Shiro saw Crocodile's eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Why is this guy staring straight at me like that?

If he knew that Crocodile was actually looking down on him, he probably would have given Crocodile a good beating right away.

Feeling Shiraishi Shu's bewildered gaze, Crocodile sullenly shrank back.

If Shiraishi Xiu knew what he was thinking, he would probably get a beating.

Since the appearance of Whitebeard Newgate here did not delay them for too long.

According to the auction schedule reported in the newspaper, the auction is about to begin.

If you don't hurry to the auction venue now, you might miss the auction of the historical inscription stone tablet.

Baek Se-soo brought a huge amount of Beri for this historical inscription stone.

"By the way, Olvia, do you know how to get to the auction venue? If we don't get there soon, we might be too late!"

Ovia was suddenly stumped by Shiraishi's question. He really didn't know how to get to the auction venue, so he could only pass the question to Crocodile.

"Crocodile, do you know how to get to the auction house?"

"I've never been to Gran Island before, how would I know where the auction venue is!"

Crocodile scratched his head sheepishly and said embarrassedly.

Shiraishi immediately lowered his head and fell silent. These two guys really are unreliable. It seems that he should have brought Buggy with him when he came to Gran Island.

What else could they do? They could only ask the passersby for directions. Shiraishi Xiu approached a young pirate and asked him:

"Brother, do you know where the auction venue is?"

"Are you here for the auction too? If so, let's go together!"

Chapter 0476: They won't steal it, will they?

"It's like a stroke of genius! We just ran into a guy who knows where the auction is."

"You two idiots don't know where it is, can't you just go and ask?"

Both of them felt an urge to hit Shiraishi Osamu after hearing what he was saying.

This guy's mouth is really too sharp; he should be the one with the worst sense of direction.

It just so happened that he ran into a guy who knew where the auction was, which made him so cocky.

However, they could only express their helplessness, since Shiraishi Osamu was their captain and they could only follow behind that young pirate.

On the way, Olvia also sized up the young boy, noticing that he was all alone and didn't seem to be a member of a large pirate ship.

Moreover, his trip to Gran Island is very likely just to broaden his horizons, and he will not participate in the auction.

Ovia was unaware that Shiraishi Xiu had prepared a large sum of money for this trip.

Seeing that Shiraishi Xiu hadn't brought anything with him when they went out, people assumed he was going to seize the historical inscription stone by force.

Following behind the young pirate, he leaned close to Shiraishi Xiu's ear and whispered:

"Captain Shiraishi, did you bring enough money this time?"

Olvia was filled with worry. If the White Stone Cultivator was planning to seize the historical text stele, they would likely be surrounded and attacked by various forces.

It was obvious that Olvia did not have the ability to fight, so he was also very worried that such a situation might actually occur.

It's important to know that Gran Island is now a place that all the world's powerful figures are paying attention to.

There were only three of them. Even if Bai Shixiu was strong enough to support Tongtian, they simply couldn't withstand the siege of so many powerful figures.

Every powerful individual strives to obtain the truth contained within the Poneglyphs, as they hold the information necessary to become the Pirate King.

This thing could make all the pirates envious, and more importantly, each of the historical texts seemed to contain clues about ancient weapons.

The scholars of Ohara are most aware of this, after all, the entire island of Ohara was once dedicated to the study of historical texts.

They wouldn't have encountered such a calamity, and they wouldn't have met the current Shiraishi Xiu.

0. Requesting flowers.......

Although Olvia's voice was very soft, it still reached Crocodile's ears.

When he heard that Brother Baishi actually wanted to forcibly seize the stone tablet with the historical text, he felt a strange sense of excitement welling up inside him.

Although he knew that there were many powerful forces on Gran Island that he could not afford to provoke.
