Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Seeing this scene before him, Shanks was astonished and exclaimed, "This is terrifying! Is this how you usually fight us?"

Shiraishi Osamu nodded and said, "You only just realized what's going on in your head now? That's really beyond my expectations. I never thought you were so slow."

Red-haired Shanks touched his hair and said awkwardly, "That's true, it's the first time I've noticed it today."

Shiraishi Osamu stopped and sighed, saying, "Being slow-witted isn't useless, because it means you can let go of everything in your head."

"What's the use of this?"

Shanks asked incredulously.

In his view, once a person's speed is reduced, there is absolutely no way they can effectively attack their opponent.

If one's thinking ability is very sharp, then one will be able to inflict fatal damage on the enemy in battle, because battle also requires a brain.

Shiraishi Xiu laughed and said, "That's right. If you could fight based on your intuition, your strength would reach a higher level, but your current strength is not enough to reach that level."

"Oh, I see. I think I understand what you mean."

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

"Attack me!"

Osamu Shiraishi suddenly suggested to Shanks, "I'll show you, using the method I just mentioned, what kind of fighting style doesn't require using your brain."

Shanks said, "This is all very interesting. I wonder if I'll be able to attack you properly."

call out!

Suddenly, Shanks drew his sword from his waist and flew straight toward Shiraishi Osamu. He was incredibly fast, like a rabbit.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Bai Shixiu. Then, he raised the (Haonuo Zhao) dagger high and chopped it down towards Bai Shixiu's head.

He originally thought that this attack would at least force Shiraishi Xiu to back down, but Shiraishi Xiu was completely unmoved.

By the time he realized what was happening, he had already been sent flying by Shiraishi Xiu's punch.

He carefully observed the sand where Shiraishi Xiu was standing. It turned out that Shiraishi Xiu had indeed dodged his attack, but returned to his original position at an extremely fast speed, so it looked as if he had not moved at all.

Chapter 0855: Terrified

Seeing this scene, Shanks exclaimed in horror, "The way you dodged was too bizarre..."

Shiraishi Xiu smiled slightly and said, "The reason I was able to dodge your attack in such a short time was because when you attacked me, I was defending entirely by instinct."

Shanks suddenly realized and said, "That's true. That was an extremely tense moment. If you had hesitated even slightly, my strike would have hit you."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed wildly and said, "It's good that you understand. But this isn't a particularly advanced technique, because you can perform this move as long as you empty your mind."

Red-Haired Shanks shook his head and said, "I think it's impossible, at least the vast majority of people couldn't do it."

Shiraishi Osamu asked incredulously, "Why? I really don't understand. Isn't this a very simple thing?"

Shanks' jaw nearly dropped to the floor as he stared at Shiraishi Osamu in disbelief and asked:

"You actually think this is a very simple thing? Let me ask you, how can you avoid such a dangerous moment by relying on your rich combat experience and intuition?"

Shiraishi Xiu thought about it carefully for a while and said, "What you said seems to make sense. However, if you really want to fight in this way, you just need to work hard to improve your combat experience."

Red-Haired Shanks shook his head and said, "That's the only thing I could never encounter, because I'm too young and haven't met many formidable opponents."

Shiraishi Xiu laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. After all, I am your strongest opponent."

Shanks said, "That's true. If I could learn from you, I could definitely make rapid progress."

"Then let's go."

It happened very quickly. As Shiraishi Osamu spoke, he flew towards Shanks.

In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Shanks. Shanks had been trying to dodge Shiraishi's attack, but Shiraishi landed a punch on his cheek.

Shanks felt a sharp pain in his cheek, and the next moment he was sent flying through the air, crashing heavily into a huge tree nearby.

The tree collapsed with a loud crash.

Shanks got up from the ground and said to Shiraishi Shu, "You cheated! You didn't tell me it was starting..."

Shiraishi Osamu burst into laughter and said, "You're too funny, aren't you? Who talks about having fun while fighting? Do you expect me to recite a whole bunch of move names?"

“No need for that!” Shanks said. “That would be the act of a fool.”

It happened very quickly. Shanks raised his sword and charged at Shiraishi Osamu once again, reaching him in a few leaps.

He stabbed at Shiraishi Xiu with a knife.

This strike was incredibly clever; it appeared to be aimed straight at Bai Shixiu, but just before it reached him, it shifted slightly by an inch.

This ingenious change instantly elevated Shanks's swordsmanship to a whole new level.

Although Shiraishi Osamu dodged the attack, he said to Shanks in surprise, "Your strike was incredibly skillful. It looked ordinary, but I know it employed superb combat techniques."

Chapter 0856: Triumphant

Red-Haired Shanks touched his nose and said smugly, "Need I say more? I've always been a fighting genius."

Shiraishi Xiu said, "Yes! I couldn't admit it just now, but now it seems you really are a combat genius, and your talent level is far above others."

Shiraishi Osamu continued, "Although you're still far inferior to me, if someone else had tried to stop your attack just now, I think they would definitely have been hurt."

Shanks nodded solemnly and said, "I expected you would be able to dodge my attack, but I am very happy to receive such praise from you."

Shiraishi Osamu burst into laughter and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Shanks nodded and said, "If it were anyone else praising me, I probably wouldn't be happy, but it's different with you because I acknowledge your strength."

Shanks continued, "I've already considered you my master in my heart for a long time."

Shiraishi Xiu quickly waved his hand and said, "Please don't say such things. Actually, I don't plan to take anyone as a disciple. Just treat me as your friend."

"friend?"

Red-Haired Shanks' eyes suddenly filled with doubt, and he asked incredulously, "Why can I only consider you a friend and not a master?"

Shiraishi Xiu laughed and said, "This might just be a personal habit. I don't like taking on apprentices. I feel it's stupid to be taught by someone else's master."

"So that's what happened!"

Shanks smiled slightly and said, "It seems you really are a generous person."

Just then, Shiraishi Shu stepped forward and said to Shanks, "Alright, enough talk. The battle is still ongoing, so you must remain vigilant."

"Because I might just give you a sudden surprise attack."

Shanks said, "I know that if you let your guard down during a battle, you will suffer huge damage. This is a major taboo in battle."

Shiraishi Osamu smiled slightly and said, "That's true. If you relax on the top lane, it could mean death."

?0 Requesting flowers ooo?0

Shiraishi Osamu lightly jumped to the top of a nearby tree. Shanks, the red-haired man, looked at Shiraishi Osamu incredulously and said, "Why did you jump up to the tree? Are you a bird or something?!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shanks, the red-haired man, raised his long sword and swung it at the tree.

With a loud crash, the tree fell down.

Shanks's swordsmanship is incredibly fast. Cutting through those massive trees is as easy as slicing tofu.

Bai Shixiu had a sudden inspiration and jumped onto another tree.

Red-haired Shanks ran along the tree trunk towards Shiraishi Osamu. Just as he was about to reach Shiraishi Osamu, he suddenly realized he had fallen into a trap.

It turned out that Shiraishi Osamu had been waiting for him at the top of the tree. He laughed and said to Shanks, "Look carefully, this is what they call combat technique."

As Shiraishi Osamu spoke, he swung his fist, which contained Armament Haki, and the fist flew straight toward Shanks.

Red-Haired Shanks felt a chill run down his spine, but he already knew he couldn't dodge this attack.

Chapter 0857: Bruised and Swollen

Because there was no other way out from the top of the tree.

Red-haired Shanks was punched to the ground by Shiraishi Osamu, falling heavily into the grass.

When Shanks got up from the ground, Shiraishi jumped onto him from the tree trunk and started punching him in the face.

Red-haired Shanks was beaten black and blue.

Shiraishi Osamu said with a grin, "Is that all there is to it? Then '397' can't possibly harm me at all."

Upon hearing these words, a fierce flame suddenly ignited in Shanks' eyes, as if he had suddenly realized something.

In an instant, a terrifying Conqueror's Haki erupted from Shanks.

Upon sensing this domineering aura, Shiraishi Shu immediately distanced himself from Shanks.

Shiraishi Osamu gave Shanks a thumbs-up and said, "Excellent! To be able to unleash such powerful Conqueror's Haki at such a young age proves your kingly potential is obvious."

Red-haired Shanks didn't laugh or show any sign of happiness. He stared coldly at Shiraishi Shu, as if Shiraishi Shu was the only enemy in his eyes.

At this moment, Shanks completely regarded Shiraishi Osamu as his enemy.

"You are no longer my friend!"

Shanks, the red-haired man, said indifferently.

Shiraishi Osamu said with a grin, "That's the kind of spirit you should have. If you always treat me like a teacher, you'll never be able to fight me seriously. You need to know that you have to force yourself to be serious in every battle."

Shiraishi Xiu continued, "Don't see your opponent as an enemy, as if they were your father's killer, only then can you be ruthless enough to kill them."

Shanks said, "It seems that's true. So let's just consider you an enemy for now, and no longer my boss."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "Alright, then come over here. Let me see just how deep your resolve really is."

Suddenly, Shanks thrust his sword diagonally towards Shiraishi Osamu. At the critical moment, Shiraishi Osamu kicked out.

The kick landed on Shanks' wrist, causing him a sharp pain in his hand, and his knife flew out of his hand in the process.

The next moment, as if he understood something, he gripped the knife tightly again and slashed fiercely at Shiraishi Xiu's leg.

Shiraishi Osamu said with a smile, "Yes, that's the kind of momentum we need—"

Thus, he successfully created a large distance between himself and Shanks, avoiding the dangerous attack.

Shanks found it incredible; he never expected Shiraishi Osamu to be able to handle things so easily.

Shanks' palms were sweating as he said to Shiraishi Shu, "Amazing! I've never seen such a monstrous talent as you, because you were actually able to dodge that attack just now."

The attack proved that your reaction speed was truly beyond description.
