Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

However, just as he made his move, more than a dozen masked CPO agents blocked his path.

By blocking the historical inscription stone layer by layer, Crocodile was completely unable to move forward even an inch.

"Hmph, Desert Giant Blade!"

Crocodile tied a massive desert blade to his body before his death, clasped his hands together, and slashed at the agents.

That's why these guys are the most powerful among the intelligence organizations under the World Government.

They easily deflected Crocodile's attacks.

Chapter 0504: The Famous Sword Stills Water

After witnessing this scene, Zorro became even more confident that he could finally avenge his previous defeat and defeat Shiraishi Osamu.

The man he brought was only this weak; we just need to deal with him quickly.

Then all ten or so of them joined forces to attack Shiraishi Xiu, and even Shiraishi Xiu couldn't handle it.

"Hurry up and take care of this guy who can use sand!"

After saying that, Zorro charged towards Crocodile, but Shiraishi Shu clearly wouldn't give him that chance.

Just as Zorro made a move, Shiraishi Osamu appeared in front of him like a ghost.

This forced Zorro to stop his charge towards Crocodile and look seriously at Shiraishi Shu standing in front of him.

He knew very well that if he relied solely on his own strength, he would be no match for General Shiraishi Osamu.

I originally planned to take care of Crocodile first before dealing with Shiraishi Osamu.

But this guy actually came looking for me beforehand; it seems some things are just unavoidable.

Having thought things through, Zorro immediately adopted a full-scale combat stance to deal with Shiraishi Osamu.

Faced with a powerful opponent like Shiraishi Osamu, he had no choice but to unleash his full strength.

Zorro is now very determined that he cannot hold back in any way.

Only in this way can he hold out a little longer against Shiraishi, giving his men enough time to deal with Crocodile and then come to his aid.

Zorro believed he could do something this simple; it was just a matter of delaying Shiraishi Osamu for a while.

"General Shiraishi Osamu, I've told you before, choosing to attack the Poneglyphs was absolutely a mistake!"

After Zorro finished speaking, he drew the long sword from his waist.

He gripped the longsword with both hands in front of him and continued speaking:

"This sword is named Stop Water. I hope General Shiraishi Xiu will enlighten me!"

Shiraishi Shuya looked Zorro up and down at the longsword called Stopwater in his hand.

When he first encountered Zorro, Zorro didn't have this weapon. After a long pause, Shiraishi Osamu slowly spoke:

"Zorro, it seems that after you were chased and escaped by me, you also had a good opportunity to get Shisui into your hands."

"Even with the legendary sword, you would still be no match for me!"

After saying that, Shiroshi lightly tapped the ground with both feet, and his whole body disappeared from where he was standing. When he reappeared, he was already behind Zuo Luo.

Zorro also saw Shiraishi's movements and knew that he would launch a surprise attack from his surroundings.

He immediately adopted a defensive stance, focusing all his energy on Shiraishi Xiu's attack.

'boom!"

After a loud bang, Shiraishi Shu attacked Zorro from behind.

Zorro didn't even look at (Norli Zhao) before using Shisui behind him to block Shiraishi Xiu's punch.

Shiraishi Osamu's fist was already covered in Armament Haki.

The world's top-tier Armament Haki is facing off against Shisui, one of the world's best swordsmen.

In their first clash, neither could gain the upper hand; both took a step back.

"It seems you've brought me far more than just the famous sword Shisui; you've given me many surprises!"

Chapter 0505: An Unexpected Incident Occurs

Zorro ignored Shiraishi's words and continued to hold Shisui, keeping a watchful eye on Shiraishi, ready to launch another attack.

"Relax, Zorro, don't be so tense. Let's chat for a bit!"

However, it was obvious that Zoro had no intention of paying attention to Shiraishi Xiu.

Holding Shisui's hands, he suddenly exerted force and charged towards Shiraishi Xiu like a cheetah.

"Shiraishi Osamu, it seems you still haven't shaken off your old habit of being a chatterbox. Try to see if you can handle this move of mine!"

"Autumn Water!"

As the name suggests, this move is as gentle as water, but it contains a great danger.

Shiraishi Osamu sensed a threat in this gentle suggestion; he knew Zorro's attack would not be simple.

Although from beginning to end, Shiraishi Osamu never truly regarded Zorro as his opponent.

But even with just this one attack, Shiraishi knew that if he didn't take it seriously, he wouldn't be able to defend against it at all.

"Hmph, so what if Zorro is like this? You still won't be my match!"

After collecting the items, Shiraishi Shu's arms turned the same color as his fists, and his Armament Haki was fully unleashed at this moment.

He turned both of her arms completely black, making Shiraishi Xiu's arms his most powerful weapon.

It can be said that Shiraishi Osamu's arms are now as hard as Zorro's famous sword, Shisui.

"Although I don't know where you got this famous sword, Shisui, you've met me today. Even if you're wielding the most powerful sword in the world, so what?"

"It still won't change the fact that you're going to lose to me, so Zorro, I advise you not to put up any more useless resistance. You'll only suffer in the end. And I'm definitely taking the Poneglyph with me!"

Zorro completely ignored everything Shiraishi Osamu said and continued to rush towards him at an increasingly faster pace.

Even with Shiraishi Xiu's sharp eyesight, he almost missed Zuo Luo's figure.

Osamu Shiraishi could only rely on his instincts to know where Zorro would attack (badj).

"call out!"

Zorro's longsword slashed past Shiraishi's ear, leaving a sharp sound in the air.

Shiraishi Osamu finally managed to dodge Zorro's attack, but Zorro's speed was simply too fast.

Shiraishi Osamu couldn't dodge in time and a small tuft of hair was cut off from the end of his head.

But Shiraishi Osamu seized the opportunity and threw a punch at Zorro.

"boom!"

Zorro flew backward in response.

In this second encounter, Shiraishi Osamu only lost a few strands of hair in exchange for Zorro being injured.

"Hmph, it seems you're still the same as before!"

After Zorro regained his footing, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Shiraishi Xiu, and spoke coldly.

"Zorro, you're still as stubborn as ever. If I were you, I would have abandoned the Poneglyphs and fled this place long ago!"

"And weren't you once a world-renowned swordsman? How could you become a lackey of the World Government!"

Upon hearing Shiraishi Osamu's words, a barely perceptible sadness flickered in Zorro's eyes.

He originally didn't want to join the World Government, but he was seriously injured before, and if it weren't for the leader of the CPO organization saving him, he might have died by now.

That's why he accepted the invitation to join the CPO.

Chapter 0506: Five-Star Elder

"Shiraishi Osamu, you don't need to worry about these things anymore. I advise you to leave Gran Island!"

"The World Government's reinforcements will arrive soon, and then it won't be so easy for you and your companions to leave!"

Although Zorro harbored deep hatred for Shiraishi Osamu, their relationship was solely due to Shiraishi Osamu's past duties as an admiral in the Marine Headquarters.

Therefore, Zorro's hatred for Shiraishi Osamu had long since dissipated under the quiet passage of time.

Even now, he still wants to dissuade Shiraishi Osamu from leaving Gran Island as soon as possible, lest he fall into the World Government's ambush.

But Zorro said it like that; he knew best that the World Government had not sent any reinforcements to Gran Island.

The reason for urging Shiraishi Xiu to leave quickly was to prevent him from getting into trouble later.

He knew how much the Five Elders valued this historical inscription stele.

If Bai Shixiu really snatches it away, those five old guys probably won't hesitate to attack him anymore because of Bai Shixiu's safety.

Although Shiraishi Osamu is now fully capable of protecting himself, his pirate crew will likely not survive more than a few rounds of bombardment from the World Government.

That guy who uses sand is nothing special. Besides, the World Government has so many powerful people that Shiraishi Osamu alone simply can't handle them.

However, Shiraishi Osamu had no intention of leaving at all.

Wasn't he brought all the way to Gran Island for the Historic Inscription? Now that it's so close, how could he possibly give up?

"Zorro, thank you for your kindness, but I will absolutely not give this Poneglyph to those five old dogs of Mary Geoise."

"Please also tell those five old dogs that if they dare to cause me trouble again, I will personally storm Mary Geoise and turn the entire place upside down!" As Shiraishi Osamu spoke, his tone was filled with an intense killing intent that even made Zorro, a man who killed as easily as day, feel a surge of rage.

He was filled with fear of Shiraishi Osamu.

But Zorro quickly regained his senses.

Before Shiraishi could react, Zorro charged straight at him again.

"Ugh!"

After a helpless sigh, Shiraishi Xiu simply took a step forward, and then walked more than 10 meters away.

0. Requesting flowers.......

He and Zorro were getting closer and closer.

They are now less than 5 meters apart and will collide again soon.

Shiraishi Shu still had Armament Haki covering his hands, while Zorro held his Shisui sword high in the air.
