Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Chapter 0827: Roar

Red-Haired Shanks laughed and said, "Is that something to brag about? It just proves you're a complete landlubber."

Upon hearing this, Sakazuki immediately flew into a rage and said, "That's utter nonsense. You won't say such things after I defeat you, because in my opinion, you're a very good sophist."

Red-Haired Shanks laughed heartily and said, "You think I'm someone who knows how to use the '373' argument, then what kind of person are you...?"

It happened very quickly. Suddenly, Sakazuki's body swelled up, and his originally strong arms turned into rolling lava.

Shanks, the red-haired man, couldn't help but pale and asked, "What kind of ability is this?"

Sakazuki said smugly, "Impressive, isn't it? This is the power of a Devil Fruit, the power of the Magma-Magma Fruit."

Upon hearing this, Shanks immediately gritted his teeth and fell into deep thought.

He understood how formidable Sakazuki's strength was, and now that he had eaten a Devil Fruit, he was practically unstoppable.

Red-Haired Shanks immediately said, "Forget it. Even if you ate a Devil Fruit and gained the power of nature, you're still just a piece of trash in my eyes."

Shanks wanted to provoke Sakazuki and make him lose his will to fight.

But Sakazuki understood Shanks's scheme perfectly, and said, "You're such a cunning fellow!"

Red-haired Shanks stuck out his tongue and said, "What does it matter? You're just as cunning and treacherous as I am."

Sakazuki laughed and said, "Now you know the difference in strength between us, right?"

Red-Haired Shanks shook his head and said, "I don't think there's any difference in strength, because in my opinion, your Devil Fruit ability is simply no match for the vast distance between us."

"Insanity!"

Sakazuki roared.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Shanks. Sakazuki's fist, dripping with molten lava, hurtled straight towards Shanks' face.

At the critical moment, Shanks successfully avoided the dangerous attack and created a considerable distance between himself and Sakazuki.

"What's wrong? You know how to hide now?"

Sakazuki sneered and said.

"Is it true that only officials are allowed to set fires, while ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps? Your inhumane law enforcement practices are truly incomprehensible to me."

Shanks, the red-haired man, said with a grin.

Enraged by Shanks, Sakazuki, his face flushed, retorted, "Bullshit! Listen to me clearly, I have never enforced the law like this, because I have always subdued all those I conquer through ruthless means!"

"I could never look like you!" Shanks said.

He drew the sword again.

Clang! It sounded like the roar of a dragon.

Red-haired Shanks, carrying that sword, walked step by step toward Sakazuki.

4.0 Sakazuki sensed the powerful aura emanating from Shanks and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, saying, "You're becoming more and more manly."

Hearing this, Shanks sneered and said, "If you're scared, you'd better surrender now. After all, in my opinion, you don't even have the slightest chance of winning."

Chapter 0828: The Macho Man I

Sakazuki said, "You don't even dare to touch my lava, yet you dare to say such arrogant things. It seems you've really been blinded by your own confidence."

Shanks gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's give it a try."

Suddenly, the two figures clashed again, engaging in a fierce battle.

Boiling magma erupted. Even the bald Shanks was quite tense and immediately used Armament Haki to defend himself.

Armament Haki is the most effective way to counter Devil Fruit abilities.

Even Logia-type Devil Fruit abilities become like those of ordinary people when faced with Armament Haki.

boom!

In the blink of an eye, a fierce impact erupted!

After the explosion, Shanks, covered in wounds, glared fiercely at Sakazuki and said, "Goodness, your strength has indeed increased again."

Sakazuki, equally embarrassed, remarked, "You're way too strong, aren't you?"

Red-Haired Shanks laughed heartily and said, "You still lost to me."

Sakazuki became enraged and said, "This impossible battle is not over yet. I will never give up until the very last moment."

Upon hearing this, Shanks immediately said, "Then let's settle this once and for all. Today, it's either you or me who lives."

As soon as they finished speaking, Sakazuki and Shanks charged towards each other, arriving in front of each other with lightning speed.

Shanks thrust the sword straight out, and the tip of the blade collided violently with Sakazuki's fist, which was covered in molten lava.

An even more violent aftershock erupted.

The explosion directly affected Hawkeye Mihawk, who was standing nearby.

Hawkeye Mihawk frowned, breaking out in a cold sweat, and said, "These two guys are far too powerful. Even if I join the battle, I might not be able to gain the slightest advantage."

After saying this, he rushed towards the rooftop, wanting to avoid getting involved in the battle.

Soon, a gust of wind dispersed the smoke.

Mihawk stood atop the high rooftop, looking in the direction of the battle. With his sharp eyes, he could easily spot the figure that remained after the smoke cleared.

This person is Shanks, the Red-Haired.

Mihawk smiled with satisfaction, muttering, "That's great! We finally defeated those bastards!"

As if sensing Mihawk's gaze from afar, Shanks turned around, smiled, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Mihawk immediately rushed towards Shanks; he had to rescue Shanks first.

Because he knew that although Shanks won the battle, he had also exhausted himself.

"This is a lose-lose situation!"

Mihawk muttered to himself.

Before long, Mihawk, carrying Shanks' body, disappeared into the war.

Looking at the two men, Garp and Sengoku, who were covered in wounds, Shiraishi Osamu said casually, "You two have no chance of defeating me. You might as well give up now, because you both know how powerful I am..."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Garp and Sengoku the Buddha gritted their teeth and said, "Nonsense! We have absolutely no chance of losing a fight against someone like you."

Chapter 0829: Ungrateful

"Ugh!"

Shiraishi Osamu sighed and stared at Mr. Garp and Sengoku the Buddha with an almost sympathetic look.

"I don't know where you get your confidence from!"

Shiraishi Osamu said with a grin, "Even so, I'll still let you taste defeat."

At that moment, Shiraishi Xiu pulled out a wooden sword from somewhere.

Upon seeing this sword, both Garp and Sengoku the Buddha were simultaneously thrown into a panic.

Both Garp and Sengoku could sense the difference between Shiraishi Shu having a sword and not having one!

With a sword in his hand, Shiraishi Xiu seemed to have transformed into an ancient war god, exuding a terrifying aura!

"Come on! The decisive blow!"

After saying that, Shiraishi Xiu raised the wooden sword in his hand high and swung it down at the two enemies with a devastating aura.

Faced with this wave of attacks, Garp swallowed hard; his back was already soaked with sweat. Meanwhile, Sengoku the Buddha kept strumming his biwa (a type of Chinese lute) with both legs.

None of them dodged. They knew perfectly well that there was no way they could escape this powerful attack!

boom!

After an explosion, the entire castle was reduced to rubble.

Smoke filled the air. Buddha Sengoku pushed aside a rock and slowly stood up from the pile of rubble. The perilous scene he had just witnessed still lingered in his mind, making him tremble.

But the next moment, he suddenly managed a smile through his bitter expression.

“Garp, his sword… is broken!” said Sengoku the Buddha.

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Garp laughed smugly and said, "Now he can't cause any more trouble. This is our territory. Let's see how arrogant he can get!"

After saying this, Vice Admiral Garp clenched his fist, making a cracking sound, as if Shiraishi Shu was already a fish on a chopping board.

At this moment, Shiraishi Xiu calmly said, "You two are really ungrateful. It turns out I didn't give you a warning earlier."

Lieutenant General Garp laughed and said, "Why are you still saying these things now? You really don't know your own limitations. Since you have no more items, we are not afraid of you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Xiu smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Then, he took a step forward, and his fierce Conqueror's Haki roared out, creating a scene of carnage.

Faced with this scene, Vice Admiral Garp and Sengoku the Buddha exchanged glances, their hearts pounding with tension.

The Buddha Sengoku then said, "Your strength is simply too formidable."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "What's so great about this? Are you really scared by just this one ability?"

"Humph!"

Lieutenant General Garp snorted and said to Shiraishi Xiu, "Don't be so arrogant in front of me. I don't believe that you can defeat the two of us without a sword."

Shiraishi Xiu sighed and shook his head helplessly, saying, "You think I'm only powerful when I have a knife in my hand? You're sorely mistaken. Even without a sword, I'm still incredibly strong."

"I think you're at the end of your rope!"

Buddha Sengoku interjected, "That's why he said those things to distract us, to prevent us from listening to his nonsense, and to teach him a lesson he won't forget."

Chapter 0830: There's always something beyond the heavens.

Lieutenant General Garp said with a grin, "No problem, we must shut him up."

call out!

Just then, Sengoku the Buddha took a step forward and appeared in front of Shiraishi Shu. Then, he immediately unleashed his Devil Fruit power and transformed into a giant Buddha.

The golden fist of the Buddha Sengoku slammed down towards Shiraishi Shu.

boom!
