Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

However, it took more than 10 bodyguards from the auction house to barely manage to move it.

He felt once again that he hadn't made the wrong choice.

If I had refused them, I would have died long ago; there's no way I would still be alive today.

"We will not allow what happened here today to reach other people's ears, nor will we allow our identities to be known by others!"

A masked man walked straight up to the auctioneer and spoke to him seriously.

The auctioneer dared not utter a single word of refusal; he had long been subdued by these masked men.

His legs were trembling uncontrollably when he saw a guy walking towards him.

He was constantly worried that these guys were there to kill him, and in order to survive, he could only shout in a panic:

"Don't worry, no one else will know your identities!"

Chapter 0501: Worth Following

After the CP0 agents in the auction house were all eliminated, the packaging of the historical inscription stone began.

This stone tablet is far too conspicuous; if it is not properly hidden, it is very likely to be discovered by some people with ulterior motives.

It was obvious that their leader was the great swordsman Zorro; it was easy to see that he was directing this operation.

Not long afterward, they had finished packaging the historical inscription stone tablet.

More than a dozen masked agents carried the historical inscription stone away from the auction house.

Although they did it very discreetly, this scene was completely witnessed by Shiraishi Xiu, who was hiding outside the auction house.

Originally, Shiroshio wanted to acquire this historical inscription stone in a fair and square manner. Since the World Government has intervened at this time, he should not be ruthless.

They were the ones who first tried to take what they wanted.

Osamu Shiraishi, along with Olvia and Crocodile, quietly followed behind the CPO agents.

With their abilities, they simply couldn't discover Shiraishi Shu's whereabouts.

Moreover, although Olvia has no fighting skills whatsoever, he is, after all, following Shiro-Shishu.

With Shiraishi Osamu's help, Olvia quickly learned to conceal her presence.

They followed them for several miles without being detected.

From the direction they were heading, Shiraishi realized that these agents intended to go to the port and leave the island directly with the Poneglyph.

He couldn't help but think to himself:

"It seems these guys are still too hasty; I'm afraid they won't dare to stay on Gran Island for long."

"Although the World Government's influence is indeed powerful, there are still many formidable pirates on this island!"

"Even they probably wouldn't dare to provoke so many people at the same time!"

This is precisely why Shiraishi Osamu dared to openly follow behind them.

Because no one else will compete with him for this historical inscription stone, he will avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Captain, are these guys trying to escape to port?"

"Shh, Third Brother, when you see their ships, immediately activate your Devil Fruit ability to take control of all of them!"

0. Requesting flowers.......

Shiraishi spoke up, stopping Crocodile, and continued speaking, instructing him on what to do next.

Having learned his lesson from Shiraishi Osamu, Crocodile quickly realized that continuing like this could ruin Shiraishi Osamu's important plans, and the best thing to do now was to stop talking.

words.

Only in this way can we avoid being discovered by those guys before reaching the port.

Before long, the blue coastline came into view.

Crocodile knew his chance was coming soon. The moment he saw the ships again, he would seize control of them, leaving them no way to escape.

The farthest range of its Devil Fruit power is only when those ships appear in its sight.

So Crocodile was waiting for the ship to appear in his sight.

Alvia wisely refrained from following, knowing he was now with Shiraishi Osamu.

He couldn't help them at all, and he might even hinder Captain Shiraishi, considering these people were secret agents of the World Government.

That's not a response he can handle.

Chapter 0502: Old Sha Makes His Move

"Now's the time, Old Sha, hurry up!"

Upon hearing White Balloon's command, Crocodile immediately activated his Sand-Sand Fruit ability, turning all the ships into sand.

Zorro, who was walking at the very front, only saw that their legends had all turned into sand and sunk to the bottom of the sea.

He immediately realized something was wrong and adopted the most alert posture, glancing around but finding nothing amiss.

"Who is this '957' guy? Doesn't he know who we are? How dare he follow us here!"

Zorro knew that whoever had turned their ships into sand must have been chasing after them for the Poneglyphs.

After all, the CP0 organization has never appeared in front of the world, and very few people even know about them, so there is no question of any enemies coming to their door.

And surprisingly, at this most unusual time, without needing any tedious thinking, the following conclusion was reached:

"These guys are after the Poneglyphs!"

Having figured out the cause and effect, Zorro immediately ordered his men to surround the Poneglyph monument:

"Quickly surround the historical inscription stele! Protect this stele; we absolutely cannot let these guys who suddenly appeared steal it!"

“You should know the importance of these historical inscriptions. If we don’t bring them back to Mary Geoise, our lives will be in our own hands!” These words didn’t sound like something a CPO agent would say.

Because every agent kept by the World Government is extremely loyal to them, not to mention they have their own thoughts.

Zorro's primary concern was their lives, entirely because he joined the World Government later in the development process.

Therefore, Zorro is not like those traditional secret agents who only know how to carry out missions for the World Government.

They were willing to sacrifice their lives to complete the mission.

However, the soldiers' instinct to obey orders made them immediately surround the stone tablet after hearing Sauron's instructions, giving no one a chance to intrude.

After seeing their formation, Shiraishi Xiu also swaggered out:

"Zorro, it seems you've improved quite a bit since I last saw you!"

Upon hearing the sound, Zorro also looked in the direction from which it came.

When he saw that the person who came was Shiraishi Osamu, his face was filled with disbelief.

He never imagined that Shiraishi Osamu would be interested in this historical inscription stone tablet.

"General Shiraishi Osamu, I didn't expect you to join in the fun too!"

Zorro didn't give Shiraishi Osamu a friendly look when he saw him.

After all, Shiraishi Xiu was a guy who used to give him a lot of headaches, and he chased him across an entire sea area.

If it weren't for my good luck in escaping from Shiraishi Osamu's clutches, I'd probably be in a Marine Headquarters prison by now, let alone become the head of the CPO special agent organization.

"Of course, this is the Poneglyph of the Poneglyphs. Shouldn't I come and see what is driving the world government crazy?"

"While some things are incredibly fascinating, I advise you, Osamu Shiraishi, to stay out of this mess!"

"Although you did achieve victory on Fishman Island, you should also know that the World Government's strength is far greater than it appears!"

Chapter 0503: You're Not Qualified

"Whether I can participate or not, you're not qualified to say. It would be more reasonable to have those five old dogs from Mary Geoise come in person!"

Zorro was so angry at Shiraishi Xiu's words that he didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only stare angrily at Shiraishi Xiu.

"Speechless now, Zorro? You should have known long ago that you're not qualified to say these things to me. So if you had any self-awareness at all, you should have left the Poneglyphs behind!"

"I can spare all of you here!"

But Shiraishi Osamu's silence only fueled Zorro's rage.

10

His entire face was swollen and ashen with anger.

"Hmph, General Shiraishi Osamu, I admit you are strong, but it is absolutely impossible for us to leave the Poneglyph Stone to you today!"

"If you want this historical inscription stone, come and take it yourself!"

"Besides, you probably didn't come alone, right? Why don't you bring your companion along too!"

Zorro knew very well that Shiraishi Xiu did not possess the ability to instantly turn all the ships into sand.

Then there's only one possibility: he has companions here.

If he doesn't find his companions, he might find himself in an extremely difficult situation in the upcoming battle.

As the head of the CPO intelligence organization, Zorro had long since developed an extremely keen sense of danger.

Therefore, he wanted to bring all the dangers into the open before starting the battle with Shiraishi Osamu, in order to avoid being suddenly interfered with by others in the upcoming battle.

"You guessed right, but your underlings don't seem to be a match for my companions. Old Sha, come out!"

After hearing Shiraishi's words, Crocodile also emerged from the shadows. Zoro's gaze lingered on Crocodile, thinking:

Was this the guy who just caused all their ships to turn into sand and sink to the bottom of the sea?

In Zorro's opinion, Crocodile's strength was indeed formidable, but he was still far inferior to him.

However, his ability to turn other objects into sand is quite impressive.

"Is this the only person Shiraishi Osamu has called out for playing in the sand? If there's no one else, I advise you to leave the port immediately!"

Zorro knew how powerful Shiraishi was, and he didn't think he could defeat Shiraishi. He still had more than 10 subordinates here.

Even if he wasn't a match for Shiraishi Xiu, with so many people helping him, he believed that even Shiraishi Xiu wouldn't be able to escape unscathed from their combined attack.

"We're leaving. Only the person you see is left. Whether we can take the historical inscription stone tablet is not up to you!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Crocodile charged toward the Poneglyph monument.
