Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

The black charcoal serpent glared at Shiraishi Xiu, who merely glanced at it.

He clutched his bleeding abdomen with one hand, while simultaneously raising his head to look at Orochi.

Their gazes met in mid-air, sparks flying.

Kurozumi Orochi realized at this point that he was no match for Shiraishi Shu, but Kaido had disappeared again and hadn't returned after so long. Now he was truly fighting alone, and all his subordinates had been defeated.

Chapter 0778: Amaterasu

The giant snake now inexplicably exudes the air of a forlorn and ruthless hero.

Lying around him were all his men; he was the only one still standing.

However, Shiraishi Xiu's side did not suffer many casualties, although a few people were also lying on the ground.

But compared to his own men, their injuries were nothing.

"General Shiraishi, you are indeed very powerful, but I cannot simply hand over the entire Wano Country to you like this. If I am ultimately no match for you, then I will accept it."

Shiraishi Osamu stared at the black charcoal-colored orchid opposite him, thinking:

This guy is so cunning, there's no way he should say something like that. Something's not right!

Suddenly, Shiraishi Xiu's eyes flashed with golden light as he stared directly at the Kurozumi Orochi and said:

"Have you forgotten something? Kaido is a Devil Fruit user. You probably already know where I threw him just now!"

"Otherwise, why would all his men leave together for no apparent reason?"

"Most importantly, there was originally a Quinn who was supposed to stay here to help you, but you drove him away because of your own actions!"

Upon hearing what Shiraishi Osamu said, Kurozumi Orochi suddenly realized that Kaido must have been thrown into the sea by Shiraishi Osamu.

If a Devil Fruit user falls into the sea, there's only one fate. No wonder Kaido's subordinates all fled in panic just now.

It turns out they went to rescue Kaido, whose power was imprisoned by the sea. It seems I misunderstood them, otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation now.

If Queen were still alive, they could join forces to deal with Shiraishi Shu, who was a pirate with a bounty of over a billion Berries.

"So, Orochi, your attempt to stall for time and wait for Kaido to return is utterly futile. I will be here before he gets back."

"I will banish you from Wano Country!"

"Or we could just kill you!"

After saying that, Shiraishi Xiu's eyes sharpened, and he charged straight at Kurozumi Orochi.

Left with no other option, Kurozumi Orochi had to summon Susanoo's spiritual power once more.

Last time, he didn't fully utilize this power in the battle, but now that Shiraishi Xiu has forced him into a corner, he has no other choice but to use it.

"Amaterasu o Yamata no Orochi!"

This time, Susanoo's voice was several times louder than before, and his figure seemed to be burning with black flames.

Bai Shixiu immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the black flames, and imagined that if these black flames were to fall on his body...

Even with my superior strength, I probably can't extinguish it in a short time.

We still need to be careful. Shiraishi Osamu slowed down his pace as he rushed towards Kurozumi Orochi. He has become more cautious now.

Because it is unknown how the black flames were activated, it would be interesting if they could appear out of thin air on Shiroshi's body.

That would be a huge loss, as I would then be tormented by these black flames.

Kurozumi Orochi had plenty of time to escape his attack range.

In this country he is more familiar with, if Orochi escapes, it will be extremely difficult to catch him again.

But the unexpected happened nonetheless; even with Shiraishi Xiu's current caution, a cluster of black flames still appeared on his chest.

Chapter 0779: Flames

No one knew how the flame appeared; it simply materialized on his clothes.

Shiraishi Xiu dared not continue forward and could only stop to deal with the strange flames on his body.

No matter what methods he used, he couldn't destroy it. In the end, Shiraishi Xiu had no choice but to take off his shirt.

But when that shirt was thrown to the ground, even the ground caught fire. The black flames weren't very hot, but they did burn for a long time.

"Captain Shiraishi, be careful not to get touched by that huge black shadow behind him. The place that just caught fire is the same spot where he touched us last time!"

Olvia's sudden reminder made Shiraishi Osamu realize what was going on!

He was just being cautious about this issue when, unexpectedly, his own body suddenly burst into flames, leaving Shiraishi Xiu completely baffled.

Fortunately, we now know the miracle that triggers this black flame.

As long as you don't get touched by that huge black shadow, you'll be fine.

Let's defeat the giant black serpent first, then deal with the flames burning on the ground.

If it is not dealt with in time, this general's mansion will probably be burned to the ground and completely destroyed by these black flames.

Orochi stared coldly at Olvia, never expecting that this woman could see through his Susanoo techniques.

Originally, Shiraishi Xiu could have suffered a great loss by doing something unintentional.

If things continue like this, we'll have to find another opportunity to use Amaterasu against Shiraishi Osamu.

"Since you already know about Amaterasu's activation, I advise you to be careful. Make sure Susanoo doesn't touch your skin."

"Otherwise, if this flame were to ignite on your body, you probably wouldn't have any way to extinguish it for a while, and your body would be burned to a crisp!"

"Hahaha, so what if you know? Amaterasu isn't something just anyone can break!"

Kurozumi Orochi laughed loudly while reminding Shiraishi Shu.

But Shiraishi Shu completely ignored him and charged straight at Kurozumi Orochi.

Is this guy stupid? This flame looks so masculine, yet he directly exposed its flaws right in front of him.

Does he think that since he knows all these things, he can still accidentally touch them?

That's utterly stupid.

Bai Shixiu's speed suddenly increased, becoming much faster than steel.

Only a yellow and white afterimage appeared in the air. When Shiraishi Xiu's body reappeared, he was already in front of the Kurozumi Orochi.

He somehow managed to grab one of the snake heads of the Kurozumi Orochi with his right hand, lifting the massive body of the serpent into the air.

However, the Kurozumi Orochi is now the size of the Eight Banners, and its remaining head (which is healed) keeps biting at Shiraishi Osamu.

In an instant, there wasn't a single intact spot on Bai Shixiu's body; it was covered with marks from the snake heads tearing at him.

But Shiraishi Osamu held onto Kurotan, and the giant snake's hand did not let go for a long time. Kurotan and the giant snake seemed unable to bear the pain either.

The remaining heads did not continue to attack other parts of Shiraishi Xiu's body, but instead continued to tear at the flesh of Shiraishi Xiu's right hand that was gripping him.

Chapter 0780: The big snake flees

Despite his right hand being a bloody mess, Shiraishi Shu had no intention of letting Kurozumi Orochi go.

Keep in mind that this arm is now coated with a large amount of Armament Haki, making it far more powerful than it used to be.

I never imagined that I would be torn to pieces by the Kurozumi Orochi and end up in such a miserable state.

Shiraishi Xiu gripped his arm tighter and tighter. Despite the help of the many snake heads, the head remained completely still in Shiraishi Xiu's hand.

"hiss!"

With a shattering sound, the head was torn apart by Shiraishi Xiu's bare hands.

Blood dripped continuously from above as Shiraishi Xiu held the black charcoal serpent's head in his hand.

320 suddenly looked up at the giant snake, and the chill in his eyes made the giant snake shudder. It no longer dared to fight with Shiraishi Xiu.

Ignoring his own head, which was still being held in Shiraishi Xiu's hand, he turned around and tried to run away.

Although after he turned and ran away, some of Shiraishi Osamu's subordinates came out to try to stop Kurozumi Orochi.

But these are just ordinary pirates, how could they possibly be a match for Kurozumi Orochi?

With the combined attack of his remaining heads, those people were quickly driven back by the black charcoal, and the great god escaped the encirclement as he wished.

Shiraishi Osamu seemed to be trying his best to heal his injuries and stop the bleeding from flowing again, so he did not get up to chase Kurozumi Orochi.

Moreover, in his mind, Wano Country had already been controlled by them, so even if Orochi wanted to escape Wano Country, it wouldn't be so easy.

Even the ports of Wano Country were surrounded by samurai under Kin'emon's command, making it absolutely impossible for him to sail out to sea.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Shiraishi Osamu did not choose to pursue Kurozumi Orochi, but instead stopped bleeding from the wounds that Orochi had torn open.

Because of the previous fighting style that resulted in 1000 casualties for both sides and 800 casualties for oneself, many parts of Shiraishi Xiu's body are now covered with teeth marks.

Even though the wound was deep, a large amount of black blood was flowing out.

It is evident that Kurozumi Orochi's teeth, which have transformed into Yamata no Orochi, definitely contain a small amount of toxins.

Otherwise, Shiraishi Xiu's blood wouldn't have turned out this way. If Shiraishi Xiu doesn't stop the bleeding and expel the toxins quickly, there might be some minor effects in the future.

Shiraishi Xiu didn't want any unsettling factors in his body in the future, even if those effects were negligible to him, he was unwilling to carry out his revenge under such influence.

Kin'emon and Olvia exchanged a glance, and Shiraishi Osamu realized that he had no intention of pursuing Kurozumi Orochi.

So they led their men to surround and intercept the heavily wounded and fleeing Kurozumi Orochi.

However, Kurozumi Orochi, having served as the shogun of Wano Country for over a decade, was extremely familiar with every inch of the country.

After a chase, he actually managed to escape. Hundreds of people searched the entire Wano Country but could not find Kurozumi Orochi.

No one knows where he has gone to hide, but one thing is certain: he has not left Wano Country.

"Kin'emon, are your men still guarding the port? Send a message immediately: if Kurozumi Orochi appears at the port, relay the message to us right away. We absolutely cannot let that guy escape Wano Country!"

"But they didn't expect that the people at the port had already been dealt with by Kurozumi Orochi, and he had also successfully escaped the country," Olvia said.

Chapter 0781: The General's Mansion

Unable to catch up with Orochi, the group eventually returned to the general's mansion. Shiraishi Osamu was still there, desperately trying to stop his injuries.

If Orochi has some kind of ambush, or if Kaido returns, then Shiraishi Shu will likely be in danger.

So what if they lost Orochi? There will be plenty of opportunities to catch him in the future. Besides, they have already achieved their objective of conquering Wano Country.

The best course of action right now is to quickly take over the complex situation in Wano Country.
