Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

He had a bad feeling. Standing in front of Bai Shixiu was like standing in front of the King of Hell. No matter what Bai Shixiu was holding, it would become a deadly weapon.

Moreover, Shiraishi Osamu exuded a terrifying sense of oppression. Even an excellent swordsman like Shanks felt trembling when facing Shiraishi Osamu, and the pores on his body stood up.

Shiraishi Osamu looked so relaxed; he just stood there quietly with a smile on his face.

Shanks said to Shiraishi Shu, "You really are a devil..."

Shiraishi Xiu shook his head and said, "Why do you say that? I don't understand what you're saying..."

Shanks said, "You don't even realize it? You're a terrifying person. Just standing in front of you makes me feel endless pressure."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "In that case, you won't be able to concentrate on fighting me. As a warrior, if you don't even have the will to fight, then I'll be quite disappointed in you."

Shanks asked, "Someone like you can be disappointed? That's really beyond my expectations."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "If you're going to be disappointed too, then why don't you just surrender from the start?"

Shanks gritted his teeth and said solemnly, "I will never surrender. You say I might be defeated by you, but I will never run away."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "That proves you are a very brave person. Based on that alone, I think you have a way to survive today's experiment."

Upon hearing this, Shanks broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "Do you really want to kill me...?"

Shiraishi Osamu walked step by step toward Shanks, saying, "Of course, since I have a weapon in my hand, it's entirely possible for me to kill you. Now I..."

Their fighting spirit is burning brightly; you must take this seriously.

Shiraishi Osamu continued, "If I'm not careful, I really might kill you."

It happened incredibly fast. Shiraishi Osamu swung the long branch in his hand down towards Shanks. Although the movement was very light, it completely shattered a large rock behind Shanks.

Red-Haired Shanks stared at the massive rock, his jaw practically dropping to the ground, and replied, "Just how powerful are you? You can shatter this mountain-sized rock with a mere flick of your wrist."

Shiraishi Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't know how much power I have, but I know very well that if you don't dodge the next attack, you will die."

As he spoke, Shiraishi Osamu walked towards Shanks. He only took one step, but Shanks felt immense pressure.

It turned out that Shiraishi Osamu was continuously releasing his Conqueror's Haki. Under the suppression of this Conqueror's Haki, Shanks was extremely shocked.

Faced with Shiraishi Xiu's overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, which was like a prehistoric beast, very few people on this vast ocean could remain rational.

Chapter 0804: Ruthless Killer

At this moment, Shanks, the Red-Haired, was also deeply confused.

He roared inwardly, constantly asking himself, "Can I really fight someone like this? He's practically a god!"

But he quickly regained his senses, because he suddenly realized that Shiraishi Xiu's branch had reached his throat.

Shiraishi pointed a branch at Shanks' throat and shouted, "Listen carefully, if you don't dodge, I really will kill you." Seeing Shiraishi's serious eyes, Shanks believed he would indeed do so, and thus he involuntarily put a large distance between himself and Shiraishi.

Shanks said to Shiraishi Osamu, "I'm sorry, I was momentarily distracted."

Shiraishi Xiu snorted coldly and said, "If you make such a mistake in another battle, you will kill your enemy. Do you understand?"

Shanks nodded and said, "I understand. I'm really sorry."

Then, Shanks gripped his sword tighter once more, his eyes becoming even more serious, as if burning with fierce fighting spirit.

Shiraishi then gave Shanks a thumbs up and said, "Yes, that's the kind of spirit you need. That's the look a good swordsman should have."

Shanks suddenly realized, and said to Shiraishi Osamu, "So... for a swordsman, the eyes are of utmost importance."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "Your understanding is quite correct, because that's how I see it too. If a swordsman's eyes can't properly capture or intimidate the enemy, then he will be killed by the enemy with a single sword strike."

Shanks, the red-haired man, said in surprise, "It seems I understand something now..."

Shiraishi Xiu gently put down the branch in his hand and said, "Tell me what you've figured out. Don't tell me with your mouth; I need to see the sword in your hand to tell me."

"Will you tell me with the sword in my hand?"

Red-haired Shanks looked at Shiraishi Osamu with surprise and asked.

Shiraishi Osamu said to Shanks, "Yes, tell me with your longsword what kind of principle you just realized?"

Upon hearing this, Shanks tightened his grip on his sword hilt and said, "Alright, then let my sword show you what kind of swordsmanship is truly powerful."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed heartily and said, "Kid! I'm truly proud of your awareness. I need to see this kind of spirit in you all; this is the kind of swordsman legion I intend to train."

"So that's what you were after..."

A glint of brilliance flashed in Shanks' eyes as he spoke to Shiraishi Osamu.

Bai Shixiu said softly, "Indeed, I want you to learn my swordsmanship. I (Hao Li) will personally teach you a new swordsmanship, and then you can teach it to other swordsmen, including the Nine Swordsmen."

Shanks said solemnly, "No problem, I will definitely do my best."

At that moment, Shanks took a step back and then thrust his sword fiercely at Shiraishi Shu.

Accompanied by a chilling sword aura, this sword strike seemed to distort even the air itself!

Bai Shixiu sensed the sword energy and couldn't help but praise it.

Chapter 0805: Studying Diligently

"That's right! That's exactly it. You need to have such spirit to unleash the power of your swordsmanship. This is your swordsmanship." Soon, Shiraishi Xiu smoothly dodged the attack and created a large distance between himself and Shanks.

Shiraishi Osamu's movements looked so light, but Shanks found that Shiraishi Osamu's speed was so swift.

Shiraishi Osamu said to Shanks, "Have I made myself clear? There's absolutely no way you can keep up with my speed."

Red-Haired Shanks gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it."

After saying that, he immediately ran towards Shiroshi.

call out!

In a mere instant, Shanks unleashed a hundred consecutive sword strikes. One strike after another, each more powerful than the last. The pressure of his swords seemed to distort even the air itself.

However, no matter what they did, they couldn't hit Bai Shixiu. Bai Shixiu was like a paper figure blown by the wind, his phantom image swaying, yet he remained standing in the same place, as unyielding as Mount Tai.

At that moment, Shiraishi Osamu's eyes suddenly turned to Shanks, who immediately felt extremely uneasy and shot to the side.

The look that Shiraishi Osamu gave him just now was like the gaze of a demon; Shanks saw his own death in it!

"If I hadn't left just now, it would have meant defeat and death," Shanks thought to himself.

Shiraishi Xiu shrugged and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you afraid? Never be afraid. Fear is the demon in a swordsman's heart, an obstacle on the path to progress. Once we feel fear, it means death."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Red-haired Shanks blinked and asked incredulously.

Shiraishi Osamu nodded in agreement and replied, "It's never been this exaggerated. If we take things lightly, or rather, if we fear the enemy and fear battle, that's a demonic thing. If we don't even dare to fight the enemy, how can we talk about victory and progress?"

"What you say makes sense; you're practically a philosopher."

Shanks, the red-haired man, agreed.

Shiraishi Osamu replied, "Thank you for your praise. If you are a hard-working person, then everything you do will pay off. I believe you are someone who knows how to study diligently."

After saying this, Shiraishi Xiu took a slight step and instantly arrived at the center of the lake. It turned out that there was a small lake in this place.

Shiraishi Xiu stood on the lake and said to him, "Let me show you the swordsmanship of the Transcendent Realm."

call out!

With a flick of his finger, Shiraishi Osamu sent a drop of water flying toward Shanks.

Red-haired Shanks was horrified and swung his sword down fiercely. However, when his sword touched the water droplet, it was deflected, and the terrifying pressure sent him flying.

"This is not swordsmanship at all!" Shanks said as he got up from the ground. "Your power is terrifying, but I don't recognize this as swordsmanship."

Shiraishi Xiu laughed and said, "This is swordsmanship. Sword intent!"

Sword intent! It is said that when a person's swordsmanship is honed to its peak, they will generate their own sword intent.

Everyone's sword intent is different, but those who can cultivate sword intent are definitely the best among swordsmen.

Upon hearing that name, Shanks fell silent. He was no longer a novice swordsman. He had certainly heard of the legends of sword intent, but he never expected to witness it firsthand today.

Chapter 0806: This Meaning

"Let me let you experience it up close..."

As Shiraishi Xiu spoke, he gently pulled up a stream of water, which seemed to surround him as if it were a real object.

Upon reaching the vicinity, Shiraishi Xiu transformed the flowing water into the shape of a sword, then looked at Shanks and said, "Come on! Don't be afraid! Although my sword intent is violent and domineering, I wouldn't even spare myself."

Upon hearing this, Shanks, who had been hiding far away, slowly approached Shiraishi Osamu, then stood there at a loss, unsure of what to do.

Shiraishi Xiu instructed, "Listen carefully, try to feel my sword intent. If you can discover the sword intent within your own heart through this, your strength will reach a new level."

"How does it feel?" Red-haired Shanks stared blankly at the stream of water.

Shiraishi Xiu sighed and said, "Bring your finger close to the water, but don't touch it, because my sword intent will backfire on your arm."

Upon receiving the order, Shanks cautiously extended his finger and closed his eyes to sense the sword intent in the flowing water.

"How is it?" Shiraishi Xiu then asked.

"Light and gentle, but containing boundless killing intent within!" Shanks said, frowning.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. He quickly put some distance between himself and Bai Shixiu, and replied, "Is this what they call sword intent? It's as profound as the vast starry sky, yet it looks simple and unadorned!"

Shiraishi Osamu grinned and told Shanks, "It seems you've finally figured it out; your strength has improved."

"promote?"

Red-Haired Shanks raised an eyebrow, asking with utter disbelief, "That can't be right. I simply understand your strength, but I just don't believe it for a second that my own abilities have improved."

Shiraishi Xiu laughed loudly and said, "No! Your strength has indeed improved, that's undeniable, because when facing my endless sword intent..."

You yourself have also felt the flaws within yourself.

Shiraishi Osamu continued, "Only when a person understands his own shortcomings and weaknesses can he truly improve."

"So this is what you mean by 'promotion'!"

Red-haired Shanks rolled his eyes at Shiraishi Shu and said.

Bai Shixiu laughed and said, "It's nothing special. If you're willing, I can continue to let you experience my endless sword intent."

"No!" Shanks said. I felt extremely terrified. When facing your powerful sword intent, I sensed the taste of death.

Shiraishi Osamu shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid. The more afraid you are, the more you will stop moving forward. I made that clear to you before, so you have to be brave."
