Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

He attempted to use this still water to cut through Shiraishi Osamu's defenses.

But it clearly underestimated Bai Shixiu, just as the long sword was about to fall on Bai Shixiu.

It's unclear where he got the strength from, but he managed to dodge Zorro's slash by dodging to the left.

After dodging the attack, Shiraishi Osamu clenched his right fist and slammed it into Zorro's abdomen.

"Click!"

After hearing the strange noise, Zorro realized that his ribs were broken.

Moreover, I also experience intermittent abdominal pain.

This allowed him to more clearly feel the unparalleled destructive power contained in Shiraishi Xiu's fist.

"Pfft!"

Another mouthful of blood spurted out.

Because he couldn't dodge in time, some of Shiraishi Osamu's blood got on his skin.

After injuring Zorro with a single punch, Shiraishi Shu did not rush to continue his attack.

Chapter 0507: How to Be a Pirate

On the other side, Crocodile was also evenly matched with the remaining dozen or so CPO agents, holding his own against more than a dozen opponents.

Shiraishi Osamu was very pleased with this: before coming here, he had never imagined that Crocodile had grown to such an extent that he could fight against everyone in the CPO organization except for Zorro.

It's important to understand that the CPO is a powerful tool in the hands of the World Government, and it always goes forward without hesitation in carrying out any mission. Even they probably didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

Zorro also noticed the situation with his men and knew that if they couldn't escape from Shiraishi Xiu's clutches soon, his men would probably be defeated quickly, let alone defeat Shiraishi Xiu.

"Admiral Shiraishi Osamu, I didn't expect that your ship would have such a powerful figure after such a short time. How does it feel to be a pirate?"

Zorro was once a world-renowned pirate, and if it weren't for Osamu Shiraishi, he would still be sailing the seas today.

How could I possibly be someone else's lackey here?

"I just feel that you haven't done anything wrong in the past. It's the navy that's been foolish. I would really like you to join our ship."

"Each serves their own master. Today, even if it costs me my life, I will stop you from taking the Poneglyphs! This is my mission!"

Zorro's voice sounded righteous and unyielding, refusing to allow anyone to question his decision.

Shiraishi Osamu naturally saw his determination and stopped trying to persuade Zorro to join the ship.

"Since that's the case, Zorro, don't blame me. I'm determined to get my hands on this stone tablet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shiraishi Xiu's body transformed into a blur and sped towards Zorro.

Since Zorro disagreed with his offer of recruitment, Shiraishi Xiu was unwilling to delay any longer. If other ambitious individuals discovered this place, it would cause considerable trouble.

bother.

If others were to discover it, it wouldn't just be the CPO that would be dealing with it; Shiraishi Osamu knew that many other people were also very interested in this stone tablet.

We absolutely cannot delay until all those guys arrive here.

"Old Sha, let's finish this quickly and deal with those flies so we can go!"

Although Crocodile wasn't entirely sharp-minded, he understood what Shiraishi was worried about, so he attacked without holding back.

The movements and force in his hands became even stronger.

Osamu Shiraishi was no less formidable. Although Zorro was no match for him, the longer the fight went on, the more disadvantages he would face.

Similarly, after warning Crocodile, Shiraishi Shu rushed out even faster, becoming a blur so that Zorro couldn't catch his trail for a moment.

Zorro could only see a figure constantly circling around him, and he knew he was no match for Shiraishi Osamu.

And I can't keep up with his speed either.

Instantly, his Observation Haki fully activated, completely surrounding him within a five-meter radius.

As long as Shiraishi Shu steps into this area, he will be detected by him. Now, Zorro can only rely on his Observation Haki.

If 3.9 doesn't even know where Shiraishi will launch his attack from, then there's only one outcome for him:

He was defeated by Shiraishi Xiu in a manner as devastating as a withered tree.

"call out!"

Just as Zorro unleashed his Observation Haki, Shiraishi Shu's fist followed.

Fortunately, Zorro anticipated Shiraishi's movements and raised his sword to defend himself.

Chapter 0508: Zorro's Determination

"when!"

A jet-black fist slammed into the famous sword, Shisui, and the longsword bent under the force of Shiraishi Xiu's punch.

It's now pressing down on Zorro's head with terrifying force.

Zorro also struggled to defend against this punch, unable to withstand Shiraishi Osamu's violent power.

Only a few breaths had passed when Shisui had completely landed on Zorro's head.

At this moment, Shisui's blade was less than a foot away from the top of his head.

Zorro's hands, which were gripping Shisui's, were trembling slightly. Shiraishi's strength was simply too great; he had no way of resisting it.

Most of the force on Shisui was transferred to his wrist. If he had just a few more breaths, Zorro would inevitably be injured by his own sword due to exhaustion.

Just as expected, the still water landed on his head, and for a moment, blood seeped from Zorro's head.

His face contorted in rage, veins bulging on his cheeks, as if he were desperately resisting the immense force of Shiraishi Xiu.

With Zorro's continued effort, the water on his head slowly began to detach from his scalp.

Shiraishi Osamu also felt a sudden force on his fist resisting his own punching power.

Looking at Zorro again, he no longer showed the fatigue he had at the beginning; now he seemed to have unleashed all his potential.

He quickly shook off the fist that was pressing down on his head.

After being knocked away, Shiraishi Xiu shook his hand and could still feel the force from his fist surging around.

When he looked at Zorro again, a look of approval appeared in Shiraishi Osamu's eyes.

Although they have always been on opposite sides, Zorro's resolute aura just now surprised Shiraishi Shuya.

"Looks like I'm still lacking something. Next time I must predict his moves even faster!" Zorro thought to himself.

Zorro had sensed Shiraishi's attack before he made it, but Shiraishi was too slow, which is why Zorro couldn't use his full strength when he had to defend himself in such a hurry.

That's why he was injured by his own sword.

"General Shiraishi, you are indeed very strong, and I am no match for you. But as long as I stand, you can forget about taking the stone tablet away!"

Osamu Shiraishi didn't speak, but his actions proved his stance.

The Armament Haki was even stronger than before; his arms, which were originally glossy black, had turned as black as charcoal.

There wasn't a single spot on the entire arm that was still a healthy, fleshy color.

"Zorro, I acknowledge your abilities, but that doesn't mean I can hold back in this battle. On the contrary, I will take this fight even more seriously."

"I couldn't ask for more, General Bai 960 Shi Xiu!"

Although the two are standing from completely opposite perspectives, and this time their roles have been reversed:

This time, Zoro is a government official, while Shiraishi Shu is a pirate.

The exchange of identities did not cause the two to become extremely hostile as if they were enemies meeting.

They were all fighting for their own positions.

Faced with Shiraishi Osamu's sudden change, Zorro gripped his sword even tighter.

The strength of the person opposite him did not allow him to be negligent in the slightest. Due to the aftershocks of their battle, the area within a dozen meters around them was completely barren.

The ground was exposed, and the original stone slabs of the port were all broken, leaving behind a series of sizable pits.

Chapter 0509: Thousand Birds

"Still water, Chidori!"

Zorro shouted loudly, and suddenly a boiling blue substance appeared around him.

It's impossible to tell what it is, but it's all coming together right now.

The strange blue mass that had gathered together turned out to be a giant, bizarre bird.

After the strange birds had all gathered, Shiraishi Xiu finally recognized that it was a blue Vermilion Bird.

Moreover, these blue things were actually unsettling currents surging around Zorro, several times more powerful than the ones Shiraishi Osamu had seen on Judge.

The electricity on Judge's suit is generated by external force, while Zorro summons a large amount of active electricity from who-knows-where.

The electric current seemed to have a life of its own, like an electric sprite.

After the convergence was complete, those empty eyes remained fixed on Shiraishi Xiu.

Although there was nothing in its eyes, Shiraishi Xiu could sense the powerful force contained within the blue Vermilion Bird.

If one is not careful, one could fall under the control of this electric current.

Shiraishi Shu was all too familiar with this type of Logia-type attack; it was simply too difficult to resist. If he didn't constantly wrap himself in Armament Haki, the attacker would find an opening.

Before Shiraishi Xiu could finish studying the Thunderbird...

The giant blue Vermilion Bird, under Zorro's control, was about to attack Shiraishi Xiu.

"Ho々II!"

The thunderbird seemed to have a life of its own, and before rushing towards Shiraishi Xiu, it even raised its head high and let out a long cry to the sky.

Shiraishi Osamu had never seen lightning that seemed to have a life of its own before, and he immediately became interested.

As the Thunderbird charged toward him, he released the Armament Haki that had appeared on his body.

"Zorro, let me see just how powerful your move really is!"

After saying that, Shiraishi Xiu, who had removed all his defenses, rushed towards the Blue Bird.

The man and the bird were like master and pet, but the arrogance between the two completely different kinds of "creatures" was easily noticeable.
