Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

He needed to quickly obtain clues about Lord Kaido and his route, then lead him back to the General's Mansion. He absolutely could not allow those guys to invade half of the General's Mansion.

Over the past decade or so, they have done many things that have harmed civilians. If Kurozumi Orochi falls from power, even they would probably be attacked by civilians.

"Kill them! Drive all those who have taken our homes out of Wano Country!"

Behind Kin'emon in front of the General's Mansion, the samurai and the pirates brought by Shiraishi Osamu all rushed towards the General's Mansion.

"Stop them! Don't let them come any closer! I think you know what the consequences are for disobeying General Orochi's orders!"

Today, 4.0 glanced at the trembling crowd and immediately spoke up, rebuking their cowardly behavior.

However, their overwhelming numerical advantage meant that these people did not dare to step forward to stop them.

As soon as Shiraishi Osamu finished speaking to Yoshida, someone threw down their weapon and ran off in the other direction.

But these people behind Shiraishi Xiu did not intend to continue hunting them down.

Their target wasn't these incredibly weak Gotei 15 members.

Chapter 0753: Escape

The two sides together numbered over a thousand people who flocked to the General's Mansion, while only a few dozen people were guarding the gate.

When the group of people threw down their weapons and fled, Shiraishi and the others did not continue their pursuit.

Two or three more people, like the first samurai who fled, threw their weapons on the ground and ran off in the same direction.

"Damn it, don't you guys know how important this war is to us? You actually chose to run away at this time!"

Those guarding the general's mansion were filled with hesitation. They knew that what was said earlier was true: if this war was lost, the consequences would not be good.

But a few dozen people against a thousand is like ants trying to shake a tree.

"Damn it, why aren't you stopping these guys? It'll be too late if you don't!"

"Besides, we only need to hold these guys off for a short while. Once Lord Kaido arrives, they'll all become his defeated foe!"

Upon hearing Kaido's name, the crowd abandoned their fear and, as if utterly fearless, drew their weapons and charged towards the thousands of people.

The dozens of members of the Gotei 13 were instantly overwhelmed by the combined forces of pirates and samurai.

But for some reason, the one that should have been the weakest showed strength that was even greater than those they had just encountered.

"Dang!"

The sounds of clashing swords filled the air. Although Bai Shixiu had many men, the space here was not spacious enough.

Therefore, these dozens of guards managed to subdue these aggressive men in a short time.

Dozens of them stood at the very front of the road, and anyone who dared to intrude upon them would be cut down.

Over time, many people lay on the road. Although they did not completely lose their lives, they were all injured to varying degrees.

Some of them collapsed to the ground only after fighting the Gotei 14 for so long and exhausting themselves.

But these guys, who should have been ordinary people, seemed to feel no fatigue at all, keeping everyone at bay with their weapons.

It already gives the impression that one man can hold off ten thousand.

It wasn't that they were particularly strong, but rather that the passage was only large enough for a few dozen people to stand sideways within, compared to a thousand people in total.

The only way is for a few dozen people to rush to the front, and then the others to follow.

This is why they were able to hold off the Allied forces for a short time.

Bai Shixiu frowned; he hadn't expected that they hadn't even entered the General's Mansion yet.

Fifty or sixty of our men have already fallen, while the other side has only about the same number.

However, he soon discovered the reason for this situation: the road 293 was not wide enough.

Shiraishi Xiu then arrived in front of an extremely spacious building, his right fist covered with a domineering silver-gray aura.

"call!"

Taking a deep breath, Shiraishi Xiu punched the wall hard with his right hand. The wall instantly developed tiny cracks, but it did not collapse. Shiraishi Xiu punched the already cracked wall again.

"boom!"

The wall in front of Shiraishi Xiu actually collapsed.

At the same time, the once magnificent and grand building collapsed into ruins.

Chapter 0754: Another Delivery

Shiraishi Osamu did the same thing again in front of the building on the other side.

This time, the building also fell to Shiraishi Xiu's hands, and the passageway instantly widened.

Behind them, thousands of people, and then dozens more rushed toward the ruins on both sides.

This left the guards helpless. Just as they were about to make a move to stop the guys standing on the ruins, several of them surrounded them.

This makes it impossible for them to move, which is the advantage of the other side having more people.

They simply won't engage in one-on-one combat with you. With such a large numerical advantage, why not have multiple people gang up on one person? This would avoid causing any unnecessary losses.

"Captain! What do we do? These guys are all rushing up from the rubble next to us, and we can't stop them at all!"

A samurai held his sword above his head, while a pirate in front of him swung his long sword down.

If he hadn't intervened in time, that slash would have instantly split his head in two.

But he still found an opportunity to report the current situation to Yoshida, and after hearing his words today, he also looked around:

Sure enough, people were already climbing onto the ruins, and if they couldn't be stopped...

It seems the goal of delaying them will be completely unattainable; he could rush into the general's mansion from here in just a few dozen seconds.

They lacked the confidence to use the already collapsed ruins to block the crowd once again.

"Go! No matter what we do, or what methods we use, we absolutely cannot let them get even a step closer to the General's Mansion!"

Yoshida was now somewhat flustered, unsure of what to do.

He led a group of ordinary people, except for those who were reasonably capable.

The others are just a little bit better off than ordinary town residents.

The only reason they were able to briefly stop Shiraishi Xiu and the remaining rebels from joining forces was because they had the advantage of terrain.

But now that the surrounding buildings are gone, it's impossible for them to stop people from invading from the side.

Moreover, Yoshida also noticed that the people around him were gradually becoming physically exhausted.

They are not like us, facing such a powerful battle.

Even if they feel a strange excitement because of their speech, it's impossible for their bodies to sustain it for long.

"Quickly send out the rest of the Gotei 13 to stop Shiraishi Shu and those despicable guys like Kin'emon. We absolutely must stop them all in front of the Shogun's Mansion before Kaido arrives!"

It was clear that the snake's words carried the most weight here, and then another person went out and brought back hundreds of people.

The squad members arrived together at the open space in front of the General's Mansion to stop Shiraishi Xiu.

"Lord Orochi said that whoever kills the most enemies in this war will receive one thing from him that you cannot refuse! (Okay!)"

"But I don't know what that means. All I know is that the more enemies you stop, the greater the benefits you'll reap!"

The guy who brought the others out suddenly gave a speech.

The more than 100 ordinary criminals following behind him were like they had been injected with chicken blood.

One by one, fearless soldiers charged towards the allied forces behind Bai Shixiu, their desires ignited by the united effort to attack the General's Mansion.

Chapter 0755: Who are you people?

With the addition of these people, Yoshida finally felt a little more at ease.

He was able to temporarily free his hands to command his remaining subordinates, but the squad members he brought out clearly also needed to obey Yoshida's orders.

"Hurry up and get ready on the ruins on both sides. There's absolutely no way some guys can get into the General's Mansion from here!"

Hundreds of Gotei 15 members stood amidst the ruins destroyed by Shiraishi Shu.

Their task was naturally the same as Yoshida's group: simply to delay these guys for about 10 minutes.

They don't believe Shiraishi Shu will still be so powerful once Kaido dares to come.

That's one of the Three Emperors of the Sea, even though Shiraishi Xiu has already shown his strength is extremely powerful.

But in their eyes, Kaido is the strongest fighter in the world in a one-on-one battle.

"Boy, you're so arrogant. I'd like to see how long you can keep up this arrogance. Lord Kaido will be here soon. I'd like to see how many of you will die here tonight!"

That guy arrived at some unknown time, yet he dared to say such things to Shiraishi Xiu.

Shiraishi Osamu was also completely bewildered. He never expected that a criminal would dare to come to him and threaten and intimidate him.

However, this did not stop him from dealing with others. With a single punch, Shiraishi Xiu knocked the man down.

"See? This is what happens when you try to stop me. With your mediocre skills, you're no match for me at all."

"If you know what's good for you, get out of the way. Once we've completely defeated the Shogun's Mansion, you can leave Wano Country safely!"

But these people wouldn't listen to what Shiraishi said, and the weapons in their hands grew even larger.

But no matter how strong they are, they are still just ordinary people compared to pirates like Shiraishi Osamu who live on the edge of a knife every day:

The appearance of these 100 guards only delayed Shiraishi and his group for 5 minutes.

Within five minutes, they all collapsed onto the ruins, including the initial 30-plus team members.

At this point, only Yoshida was still standing, but he didn't seem to be in particularly good health.

There were always some strange things about him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

He had already suffered more than 30 cuts of varying sizes, but these were not the strange things about his body. Yoshida could clearly feel that the pain he felt was caused by those swords.

But the unease he felt came from the man in front of him, the guy who could knock down a building with a single punch.

If he had listened to Kurozumi Orochi's advice to stop Shiraishi Osamu and the others from entering the general's mansion, he might have really died here.

But those guys inside the mansion still have a sliver of hope.

When all his comrades fell, he realized that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop this group of over a thousand people.

Yoshida then collapsed, ignoring Shiraishi and the others.
