Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Shanks sneered and said, "I'm not sure about that. At least I know that Shiraishi is above you, and you may not be able to beat me in swordsmanship."

Hawkeye Mihawk grumbled, "When it comes to strength, I can definitely beat you, there's no doubt about that. We didn't settle things last time, so why don't we do some final training before the war starts?"

Red-Haired Shanks laughed heartily and said, "Excellent! I can't wait to beat you until you're crying your eyes out."

Hawkeye Mihawk said, "Is that so? If you have that ability, then go ahead and try it. Because no matter what, the only person I fear in this base is Shuichi Shiraishi."

personal."

Hawkeye Mihawk continued, "I estimate that only Shiraishi Shu's strength surpasses mine; based on anyone else, it's nothing."

Red-haired Shanks sneered and said, "You are truly arrogant. Perhaps your arrogance will cost you your life in the war."

Hawkeye Mihawk said, "Pride is also a skill. If a person doesn't have the strength to back him up, what right does he have to be proud? Isn't that obvious?"

Shanks said, "That's not the case, but in any case, few people are as rational as I am, because I know my own strength."

Shanks continued, "You should know that the most precious thing in this world is not humility, nor is it having an arrogant mindset, but simply having self-awareness."

Hawkeye Mihawk drew his sword, that dark, supreme-grade blade—it gleamed golden in the moonlight!

Chapter 0891: The End of the World

"Give it a try!"

After saying this, Shanks took a step forward, and a fierce burst of Conqueror's Haki roared out, causing the surrounding trees to split open.

Hawkeye Mihawk also activated his Conqueror's Haki. The two fierce Haki clashed, and the surroundings instantly surged with wind and clouds, as if the world had entered its apocalypse.

At this moment, Shanks said, "You fool, you will pay the price for your arrogance today."

Hawkeye Mihawk sneered and said, "I don't know if there will be a price to pay, but your head will be chopped off in a moment."

Shanks said, "Shiraishi Shu told me long ago that in battle, I must treat you as seriously as if you were my enemy! That is the key to victory."

Hawkeye Mihawk laughed heartily and said, "But your enemy is far too powerful."

call out!

A few leaves fell, and in that short time, Hawkeye Mihawk had already drawn his sword and swiftly occupied the high ground for attack.

Whoosh, splat!

Hawkeye Mihawk's blade erupted, accompanied by the crackling sound of Conqueror's Haki swirling around it.

Under this attack, Shanks was on tenterhooks, knowing just how powerful Hawkeye Mihawk's attack was. Therefore, he couldn't help but be cautious and on guard.

Just then, Shanks, unleashing a barrage of attacks, said, "I told you, you'd never be a match for me..."

Hawkeye Mihawk said, "Die! I'll show you my truly powerful move—the Flying Dragon Slash!"

Suddenly, Hawkeye Mihawk unleashed a wave of sword energy from his Supreme Grade Sword, the green blade emitting a golden glow in mid-air, vaguely transforming into a flying dragon that hurtled straight toward Red-Haired Shanks.

Red-Haired Shanks then distanced himself from Hawkeye Mihawk, or more precisely, from the dragon.

But the dragon kept following him, so Shanks stopped and unleashed a fierce burst of Conqueror's Haki.

When Shanks attempted to use his sword to defend against the dragon, he was ultimately a step too late.

The flying dragon shot straight toward his body.

boom!

Red-Haired Shanks was covered in wounds. Pain coursed through his entire body, but Shanks gritted his teeth and endured it. He knew that showing fear in front of the enemy was absolutely unacceptable.

Because the enemy will not sympathize with you. Although Hawkeye Mihawk is your comrade-in-arms, at this moment he is indeed your opponent.

Hawkeye Mihawk sneered and said, "What's wrong? Is this all the strength you have? That's rather disappointing."

...0

Red-Haired Shanks was unable to refute this for a moment, because he knew that he had indeed been careless and had fallen for Hawkeye Mihawk's attack.

Hawkeye Mihawk said, "There aren't many people like me, but anyway, I have to give you a painful blow."

Shanks laughed loudly and said, "Are you trying to tickle me? This kind of attack doesn't work on me at all. I don't know where you get your confidence from."

Hawkeye Mihawk said, "Get lost. You're just putting on a brave face, because no one can withstand this attack from me and still act so arrogantly."

Chapter 0892: Wasting Energy

Shanks said, "Well, you've finally met me today. I am that kind of powerful man."

call out!

Red-haired Shanks drew his sword, took a sudden step forward, and his figure clashed with Shanks's.

Before long, the two had exchanged over a hundred moves.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside them.

Before Shanks and Mihawk could even react to "4, 2, 3," they were already being pushed away by this person.

When they got up from the ground, they were stunned to see that the person who had come was Shiraishi Osamu.

Shiraishi Xiu stared at the two of them with a grin and said, "Who gave you permission to fight? A major war is going to take place tomorrow, and I need fresh troops like you. But you're just wasting your energy."

Although Shiraishi Osamu was smiling broadly, Shanks and Mihawk still felt an invisible pressure, as Shiraishi Osamu's Conqueror's Haki subtly enveloped the area.

That was a more powerful form of Haki than that of Shanks and Mihawk, which is why they were trembling.

"Stop."

Shiraishi Xiu said coldly, "If you don't stop, then I will be your opponent. You should know what the benefits or drawbacks are of opposing me, right?"

Shanks immediately said, "There's no benefit to going against you, only harm, because I know you're incredibly strong."

Shiraishi Xiu smiled and said, "Yes, you know that too, so I advise you to surrender and not be too arrogant."

Hawkeye Mihawk said, "I understand, because I know very well how powerful you are, so quickly put away your Conqueror's Haki, we really..."

"I can't stand it."

Shiraishi Osamu smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm very sorry, because I accidentally unleashed my domineering aura without considering your feelings."

"This was leaked unintentionally!"

Shanks couldn't help but think.

Cold sweat instantly beaded on his palms. Just how powerful was Shiraishi Osamu? The domineering aura he casually exuded had reached such a pure and terrifying level.

Shiraishi Osamu smiled slightly and said, "The moon is exceptionally round today. I think it's a perfect day for drinking."

After saying that, he took a bottle of wine out of his waist bag.

Shiraishi Osamu said, "Come on, fighting is so boring, let's have a drink instead!"

Red-Haired Shanks and Hawkeye Mihawk exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that Shiraishi Osamu's reason for stopping them from fighting, and the seemingly legitimate reason he gave earlier, was actually just to buy them drinks.

As expected, Shiraishi Osamu is a gentle man. He would never be so unreasonable.

Shiraishi Osamu chuckled awkwardly and said, "Anyway, you all should understand, right... Hey, don't look at me like that! Hawkeye, why are you always staring at me like that? 4.0 I hate your eyes."

Shanks chimed in, "Yeah, Hawkeye! Stop staring at us like that. Those eyes should be gouged out."

A joyful atmosphere permeated every corner of the jungle.

Near Gesori Island, a massive rock glowed red in the morning light. On the rock's shadowy side, Shiraishi Xiu led his troops in a stealthy landing.

Chapter 0893: Enforcing Strict Discipline

"Listen up, all of you. This place is 500 nautical miles from the naval branch. I'm going there to declare war! I hope you'll wait here!" Shiraishi Osamu instructed his men.

The soldiers remained silent, like men of iron, not uttering a single word; they simply stood there quietly.

This is an army with strict discipline.

"We definitely believe in them!"

Redhead and Hawkeye said in unison.

After giving his instructions, Shiraishi Xiu turned and left.

The 10 islands of Gesori.

Several military units were patrolling near the main gate.

"Who is that?" a voice suddenly rang out.

Before he could finish speaking, Shiraishi Xiu had already arrived in front of everyone. Before the soldiers could react, Shiraishi Xiu walked forward step by step, and the swords and spears they had loaded fell to the ground in an instant.

It turns out he was stunned by Shiraishi Osamu's Conqueror's Haki.

Shiraishi Osamu laughed loudly and said, "Listen up, I am Shiraishi Osamu. I'm here to declare war on your naval branch. Who is your leader? Come out and meet me right now."

Shiraishi Xiu's voice echoed throughout every corner of the island. In an instant, all the soldiers rushed here, and they found the tense and orderly army surrounding Shiraishi Xiu in the center.

On the high city wall, two figures suddenly appeared, none other than General Green Bull and General Fujitora.

Admiral Fujitora shouted, "Who goes there? What do you intend to do? You come alone; are you planning to make an enemy of our navy?!"

Shiraishi Osamu said loudly, "Who's afraid of who? That suits me just the way it is. Anyway, your Navy branch is nothing more than a lackey of the Navy's facade."

General Fujitora roared, "Arrogant bastard! Who are you? State your name now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

Admiral Fujitora added, "However, your powerful Conqueror's Aura has harmed my soldiers, so I can't just leave unscathed like you."

"That's only because they're too weak!" Shiraishi Xiu said smugly. "I don't have time to fight with weak soldiers like you. I'm here purely to declare war."

Shiraishi Osamu continued, "I have already made it very clear that I am Shiraishi Osamu, and I hereby declare war on your naval branch."

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers around burst into laughter. It wasn't that they didn't acknowledge Shiraishi Xiu's strength, but rather that Shiraishi Xiu's decision to come alone this time was a completely foolish move!

"Declare war?"

Admiral Fujitora said, "You think you can take it all by yourself? Do you know how many soldiers our naval branch has? Let me tell you, our 423rd Division has a total of 80,000 men. You're facing 80,000 men all by yourself. Each of us could drown you if we took a piss!"

"Oh?" Shiraishi Xiu laughed and said, "Then your need to pee must be endless!"

Upon hearing this, General Fujitora immediately gritted his teeth and turned red in the face, because he truly felt humiliated by Osamu Shiraishi, and his soldiers wanted to laugh but dared not.

In the brief exchange of words, his general had actually lost to Shiraishi Osamu.

At this moment, Green Bull, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "Shiraishi Shu, I know you. I know you're a guy admired by many people."
