Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

John's men, who had been standing by and watching, were now dumbfounded and remained where they were, completely unsure of what to do next.

Even though several of their companions had already lost their lives under the enormous impact, they were completely unaware.

After a long while, John struggled to his feet, and the pirate ships immediately rushed to his side to help him up, preventing him from falling to the ground again.

"Brother Baishi, are you alright? I saw a very strange phenomenon happening here just now, and I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I immediately brought everyone back!"

At this moment, Olvia, who had returned with 30 pirates, also saw the results of the two men's battle.

He immediately rushed to Shiraishi Xiu, who was standing on a high place, and helped him up like John did.

His swaying body was enough to show that Shiraishi Xiu had also suffered considerable injuries in this battle.

After the dust settled, Brother Baishi also recalled every scene of the battle.

Although John's strength posed no threat to Shiraishi Osamu, his every move was simply too unpredictable.

Even Shiraishi Osamu couldn't predict how to deal with his bizarre moves.

This was the greatest danger Shiraishi had ever faced since his birth, and it was against a pirate whose strength was clearly inferior to his own.

Even when he was besieged by the many masters of Marineford in the past, he had never been in such a predicament as he is now.

Fortunately, all of this is over. He and John didn't have much hatred between them to begin with, and it can be said that they became friends after a fight.

"Captain Shiraishi, it seems the gap between us is still insurmountable. You have won this battle!"

John, who was standing opposite Shiraishi Xiu, suddenly spoke loudly to Shiraishi Xiu, but his voice sounded so dejected and powerless.

After all, John had just suffered very serious injuries, so it was already quite remarkable that he was able to utter those words.

However, his words made Shiraishi Osamu look at John with new respect once again.

When I first saw what his men were doing, I thought their captain would be just as tyrannical and unreasonable as they were.

Who would have thought that Captain John would actually accept defeat?

Chapter 0701: An Ambush

Shiraishi Osamu simply nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied with the result, but John had no intention of ending things there.

As John helped his subordinate up, he whispered something in the pirate's ear. Upon hearing John's words, an expression of disbelief appeared on the pirate's face.

And he would occasionally look up in the direction of Shiraishi Xiu.

He didn't understand why the captain would do something like this, even though it was just a lost battle.

He then walked straight away from John.

No one knew what John had asked him to do, but Ovia had noticed his occasional glances at Shiraishi and the others.

Because of the pirate's puzzled and surprised look, Olvia began to suspect that John had set up some kind of ambush for them.

After all, the Rocks Pirates were once known throughout the world for their ruthlessness.

Logically speaking, Captain John shouldn't be the kind of guy who's willing to accept defeat after a gamble.

"Shiraishi Osamu, be careful of Captain John, he might be up to something. The departure of his subordinate might also be a bad thing!"

Olvia whispered something in Shiraishi Xiu's ear.

He didn't want to alert John at this time. If John found out, they might not be able to leave Thunder Island with such a small group of people. After all, this was Captain John's territory.

Although John was also injured, he was unable to cause them any unnecessary trouble.

However, on Thunder Island, Shiraishi Shuuya was also unable to fight again for a short period of time.

If they were ambushed at this time, the others waiting on the ship would have no way of knowing their whereabouts, let alone coming to their aid.

With Shiraishi Osamu injured, it would be an impossible task for him and these young pirates to escape from John's ambush.

Shiraishi Osamu simply nodded in response, without replying to what Olvia had said.

On the one hand, he had roughly figured out from the brief exchange that John was not the kind of person he was talking about.

On the other hand, even if John really did foolishly set up an ambush for them, Shiraishi Osamu was confident that he could safely lead Olivia and the others away from Thunder Island.

However, the pirate who had left soon returned, carrying two boxes in his hands.

o0Requesting flowers?oo?€)

Olvia's eyes were fixed on the two boxes; he wanted to see what John was really up to.

However, what happened next made Olvia realize that she had truly misunderstood John:

The subordinate then scurried towards where Shiraishi Xiu and the others were standing after detonating the two boxes.

Upon arriving in front of Shiraishi Osamu, John instructed him to open the two boxes.

Ovia was initially worried that the box might contain something very harmful to them, but after seeing the two fruits inside...

His eyes were wide open, fixed intently on the two fruits.

Not only Olvia, but also Shiraishi Osamu was the same.

For Shiraishi Osamu, there were very few things on the Grand Line that could elicit such a greedy and longing expression from him.

Before anyone could recover from their stunned gazes, John spoke with difficulty:

"Captain Shiraishi, these are two Devil Fruits I obtained back when I was with the Rocks Pirates. I'm giving them to you now!"

Chapter 0702: What Needs to Be Done

When Shiraishi saw the two Devil Fruits, he already guessed what John was going to do.

However, even hearing it from his own mouth, Shiraishi Osamu was still very puzzled and confused.

You have to understand that this is a Devil Fruit, something that everyone on the Grand Line would desperately seek out and fight over.

John actually gave such a valuable demon to Shiraishi Osamu, whom he had just met.

"207," "Captain John..."

Shiraishi Osamu opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, John interrupted him:

"No need for further explanation, Captain Shiraishi, these two Devil Fruits are a gift from me to you, as an apology for the unreasonable behavior of my subordinates!"

After confirming that John wasn't acting out of madness, Shiraishi Xiu turned his attention to the two Devil Fruits.

They examined these two fruits, knowing that if they appeared on the Grand Line, they would surely be subjected to attacks from all the forces on the Grand Line.

Devil Fruits are the embodiment of sea demons. Eating one grants different abilities, but as a price, the eater is rejected by the sea and becomes a landlubber who cannot swim.

Nevertheless, many people are still captivated by the immense power that Devil Fruits bring.

This side effect has absolutely no effect on those who seek power.

Moreover, all Devil Fruits are extremely rare and unique.

Once that Devil Fruit is obtained by someone else, the same Devil Fruit will never appear in the world again.

Unless the user dies, the Devil Fruit they once ate will not reappear.

This is why every time a Devil Fruit encounters an accident, it causes quite a stir throughout the world.

Now John is being incredibly generous, giving away two Devil Fruits to Shiraishi Shu.

They had never interacted before.

Only Shiraishi Xiu was now somewhat clear-headed; Olvia's gaze remained fixed on the two Devil Fruits, lingering for a long time.

As for his subordinates, they were even more pathetic than Olvia when they heard that it was time to wipe the fruit.

Each of them seemed to see a naked girl standing before them.

Only then did Shiraishi Xiu carefully examine the two Devil Fruits lying quietly in the wooden box.

The first fruit looked like a running cheetah.

There are also deep lines on it, and you can tell from its appearance that it is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the "Cheetah Fruit"!

Devil Fruits are divided into three main categories: Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan.

This Cheetah Fruit is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit. Users who eat the Cheetah Fruit can transform into a cheetah and gain the speed and strength of a cheetah.

It can be said that a user who uses any of the three major categories of Devil Fruits will gain all the abilities of the Devil Fruit he/she uses.

Shiraishi was trying his best to find Devil Fruits to help his team reach a higher level, but he never expected to be able to get two at once on this small Thunder Island in version 4.0.

Having already learned the type of the first Devil Fruit, Shiraishi Aki turned his attention to the second wooden treasure box.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked. After Shiraishi Xiu clearly saw the Devil Fruit, he became so excited that he was incoherent:

“John…Captain…this, this!”

Chapter 0703: The Fruit of Surgery

John simply smiled after hearing Shiraishi Osamu's incoherent words.

He believed that Shiraishi Xiu's reaction must be because he had already recognized the Devil Fruit.

Shiraishi Xiu immediately jumped to the box and examined the crimson heart-shaped fruit lying quietly inside.

He never expected to see this valuable Devil Fruit here today.

It's important to know that this fruit is significantly more powerful than other Devil Fruits.

Even pirate crews with numerous Devil Fruits would go mad upon learning of this Devil Fruit with 10 Devil Fruits.

Lying inside is none other than the Op-Op Fruit, the most precious of all Devil Fruits in the world.

The Op-Op Fruit is a type of Paramecia-type Devil Fruit power.

As the name suggests, anyone who uses this fruit will gain exceptional medical skills.

If a pirate crew has a user of the Op-Op Fruit, the crew's mortality rate will be reduced to an extremely low level.

Moreover, the benefits of this non-surgical method are not simply limited to enabling someone with no medical knowledge to acquire advanced medical skills.

Those with this ability can create a global or hemispherical space, within which they can freely cut, exchange, or splice anything, and even exchange two minds.

A life severed by a power user with a knife does not die, nor does it bleed; the person remains alive, but experiences slight pain.

The user of the Op-Op Fruit can piece together anything they cut, which is fundamentally different from simply cutting with a knife.

The Op-Op Fruit's attacks are superpowers, not physical attacks, so it can attack the physical form of Logia-type Devil Fruit users without using Haki.

While the Op-Op Fruit may not be the most powerful in terms of attack, considering all factors, no other fruit can compare to it.
