Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Besides, it's just about preparing some usable equipment; there's no need for so many people to go together.

Although Shiraishi was a pirate, he was always concerned about the appearance of these hundreds of pirates for the sake of the townspeople.

It could very well make them panic, and then it would be a losing proposition.

After selecting a few subordinates, he led Olvia and her group of twenty people to Thunder Island.

Leave the others on board to guard the ship and prevent it from being attacked by others.

"Sometimes things are different. Will our ship really be destroyed by the lightning around Thunder Island?"

Shiraishi Osamu knew this ship was definitely not that simple, and finally asked the question that had been on his mind.

Chapter 0672: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

"Captain Shiraishi, actually, no, I was lying to them. This ship has long been exceptionally sturdy thanks to Caesar's modifications and reinforcements."

"Even the Navy's cannons can't have any effect on it, let alone the lightning around Thunder Island, which even slightly stronger pirates can't damage!"

Olvia leaned close to Shiraishi Xiu's ear and said with a grin.

In an instant, Shiraishi Xiu "120" understood what Olvia was thinking:

Seeing that the young pirates were afraid, he simply reassured them.

Going to the island to find equipment would be of no use to them in their future journey through Thunder Island, so the reason they did it was...

However, it was a solution that Olvia came up with after seeing that the pirates dared not go to see what was happening.

They didn't understand what made the ship so powerful, so giving them ample preparation would give them more confidence.

Even if he didn't land on this island, Shiraishi Osamu would find another island and have all his young pirates go there to prepare supplies.

Their hasty departure and inadequate supplies present a good opportunity:

This would allow them to prepare supplies and also prevent the young pirates from being frightened as soon as they set off.

He couldn't help but praise Olvia in his heart; it seemed that Shiraishi's choice to select him as the navigator was a very correct one.

After arriving on the island, Shiraishi Xiu did not travel with them, but instead pulled Ovia along.

The two were not sure what they were going to do; perhaps they wanted to experience the local customs and culture of Thunder Island.

The 20 pirate soldiers were left to purchase the supplies they needed.

There's no need to worry about whether 20 people are enough, since Shiraishi Xiu has given them time.

Besides, their ship is so powerful that it doesn't really need much else.

Although Shiraishi Shu led Olvia away from the 20 pirates, they were not far apart.

Most of these pirates were young guys who had just entered the Grand Line.

Bai Shixiu was worried that they were young and impetuous and might get into conflicts with others on the island. He also worried that they might be bullied by other forces on the island if he wasn't there.

"However, Captain Shiraishi's island is Captain John's territory. Is it really a good idea to let these people act on their own here? Aren't you afraid of conflict with Captain John's crew?"

Olvia was still somewhat relieved; she was worried that the young pirates who didn't disembark might cause some conflict.

But Shiraishi Osamu seemed much more relaxed than Olvia, speaking casually:

"Don't worry, even if they clash with that Captain John you mentioned, it's just letting them experience the brutal competition of the Grand Line ahead of time!"

"Otherwise, if they keep thinking I can protect them, these guys will never get anything done!"

Ovia was at a loss for words after Shiraishi Osamu spoke. Since he had thought it through so clearly, she would just let him do as he pleased.

However, what Shiraishi Osamu said next puzzled Olvia. As a Marine Admiral of the 4.0 level, did he not know who that guy was?

Bai Shixiu slowly said:

"Who is this Captain John you're talking about? Is he very powerful? I've never heard of him before!"

Upon hearing Shiraishi's words, Olvia stared at him in shock, as if it were a great surprise that he didn't know who Captain John was.

Chapter 0673: The Shanks Pirates

"What? You, a former admiral, don't even know who Captain John is!"

Hearing Olvia's words, Shiraishi Shu appeared even more surprised than he was, and continued:

"Should I know who this Captain John is?"

Osamu Shiraishi's answer left Olvia speechless for a moment, but she still told him about Captain John's identity.

"He was a member of the Rocks Pirates, a renowned and notorious pirate."

What Olvia said next puzzled Shiraishi even more.

The Rocks Pirates are renowned, so why wouldn't he have heard of them?

Olvia now looks at Shiraishi Xiu as if he were an outsider.

As a former Marine Admiral, he didn't even know about the Rocks Pirates.

I had initially thought it was highly unlikely that he didn't know Captain John.

"The Rocks Pirates were once the most powerful pirate crew in the entire world. Kaido and Big Mom, whom you know, all came from the Rocks Pirates!"

"The three emperors of the seas today were all members of the Rocks Pirates in the past!"

"In the past, this pirate crew was feared by everyone in the world. Hearing their name evoked terror and dread!"

"Besides, it hasn't been that long since that pirate crew disbanded, so why wouldn't you know?"

Even though Olvia explained it so clearly, Shiraishi still didn't know who the Rocks Pirates were.

It's really not Shiraishi Osamu's fault for not knowing all this; it's simply because he had no interest in knowing these things when he was at Marine Headquarters.

However, he did become interested in the Rocks Pirates.

"I never imagined those three guys were on the same ship before. How powerful must their captain have been?"

As soon as Shiraishi said this, Olvia knew that he was interested in Rocks, the captain of the Three Emperors, and wanted to have a good duel with such a powerful figure.

"And now? After the Rocks Pirates disbanded, where did the other crew members go? And their captain too!"

So Ovia continued her explanation of the Rocks Pirates:

"The Rocks Pirates were already famous throughout the world several years ago, but after being defeated by the combined forces of the then Fleet Admiral and three Admirals, the Rocks Pirates disappeared from the world!"

"You are one of the three members of the crew, now known as the Three Emperors of the Sea. The one behind this Thunder Island we are in now was also a member of the Rocks Pirates!"

In just a few words, Shiraishi Shu already knew how powerful the Rocks Pirates had been in the world in the past.

It was only by having the navy's top-tier combat forces unite to attack them that they were defeated.

"Where is their captain now? Such a capable guy shouldn't be completely unknown in the world!"

"The Rocks Pirates once ruled over everyone on the Grand Line. Anyone who heard their name would tremble with fear and be filled with dread!"

"It was precisely because they did so many bad things that Marineford mobilized its entire force, and everyone came to besiege the Rocks Pirates."

"It took the combined efforts of all the Navy Admirals and other powerful pirates in the world at the time to finally kill Rocks!"

Chapter 0674: Conflict

The past of the Rocks Pirates shocked Shiraishi Osamu.

It took the combined attack of the three admirals, the marshal, and powerful pirates to finally kill Rocks.

That shows just how abnormally powerful Rocks was.

Shiraishi Shu was already very familiar with the three emperors on the Grand Line.

After hearing so much about the Rocks Pirates, Shiraishi Shu was curious to see just what kind of person Captain John, whom Olvia had mentioned, really was!

Since it could make even Ovia feel lingering fear.

It seems his strength is no less than that of Kaido and the others.

I wonder if I'll be able to meet the so-called Captain John on Thunder Island.

He wanted to see for himself just how formidable the crew that had once inspired the entire world to attack them was.

"In that case, let's ignore these things for now and explore the island to see if there's anything that interests you!"

Shiraishi Xiu waved his hand dismissively and spoke to Olvia.

However, his words just now stirred Ovia's heart, and she thought to herself:

Why did Shiraishi Osamu, who's perfectly fine, make me buy things I'm interested in?

But even if he says that, does he think I will change my attitude towards him?

Knowing that Olvia was ignoring him, Shiraishi Osamu strode forward.

Olvia then realized what was happening and muttered under her breath, cursing Shiraishi Osamu for being so stupid. Did he think that just because she wasn't speaking, she didn't need to be told? He'd just left her to her own devices!

Go away.

Shiraishi Osamu didn't hear Ovia's dissatisfaction and continued walking forward. Soon, Ovia caught up with him.

However, the two hadn't walked on the street for long when they heard a loud shout coming from behind:

"You bunch of bastards, didn't you see that I was the one who wanted to buy this big knife first? How dare you try to take it from me?!"

"A bunch of nameless thieves, how dare you try to steal what I want on Thunder Island? Do you even know who I am?"

Does it matter who you are? I bought this first!

"It seems you have no idea how powerful our great Captain John is, daring to come up from inside and try to snatch what I've got my eye on!"

As the argument between the two escalated and was about to come to blows, Shiraishi Osamu remained on the sidelines.

He had already recognized the man holding the long knife as one of his men.

From their conversation, he also learned that someone was trying to steal the large sword that his men had bought first.

Senior Brother Bai was quite curious whether his men could win if a fight broke out.

Shiraishi Osamu, who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, started fanning the flames from the sidelines.

"I say, you men are utterly useless as Captain John's men! Why don't you just go and steal what you want, servants!"

Upon hearing Shiraishi's words, the man clearly felt he had lost face, and immediately drew his weapon and slashed at the pirate in front of him.

However, Shiraishi Osamu's men were not the kind to be easily slaughtered, even as Captain John's men launched an attack on him.
