Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Hawkeye Mihawk climbed up to Shiraishi Xiu's side, sat down, and said, "Oh yeah, after all, this is a paradise for us men. It has all kinds of facilities. It's much more fun than our own empire."

Osamu Shiraishi nodded, indicating his agreement with Hawkeye Mihawk's statement.

"Would you like to come with me?"

Shiraishi Osamu lit a cigarette and said.

Hawkeye Mihawk shook his head and said, "I don't like smoking. To be honest, I can't stand the pungent smell of cigarettes."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "I understand that. I know you like to drink, but I rarely see you smoke."

Hawkeye Mihawk looked at Shiraishi Xiu incredulously and said, "How do you know?"

Shiraishi Xiu said with a grin, "That's all!"

In fact, Shiraishi Osamu came from another world, but he didn't want to reveal this to Hawkeye Mihawk. He had watched One Piece, and while Hawkeye Mihawk had never smoked on camera, he always liked to drink red wine.

Chapter 0905: I understand.

Hawkeye Mihawk lived alone in his castle, tilling the fields and enjoying his solitude.

Shiraishi Osamu said to Hawkeye Mihawk, "You must be a man who really enjoys solitude..."

Hawkeye Mihawk asked, "Why do you think of me that way? I've never said anything like that to you."

Shiraishi Osamu smiled slightly and said, "You just need to answer me! Yes! or no."

After a while, Hawkeye Mihawk finally made up his mind and said to Shiraishi Osamu, "That's how it is, and it's just my choice. But I have no choice now, because by being by your side, I can only spend time with the others in 433."

Shiraishi Xiu laughed heartily and said, "That's right. You have to get along with other people, otherwise our entire empire won't be able to function."

Hawkeye Mihawk chuckled and said, "I understand."

Shiraishi stubbed out his cigarette in the water, saying, "To be honest, of all my subordinates, you're the one I have the most faith in! And Shanks too!"

Hawkeye Mihawk curled his lip and said, "You actually put that guy I just mentioned in the same category."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "Don't say that. Shanks is also an outstanding young man. You two have a lot in common: you are both exceptionally hardworking and quite talented!"

Hawkeye Mihawk laughed heartily and said, "I didn't see any talent in Red-Haired Shanks!"

"Did you win against him in the previous battle?"

Shiraishi Xiu couldn't help but question him.

Hawkeye Mihawk pondered carefully for a while, and just as Shiraishi Osamu said, although he had always looked down on Shanks.

In every battle, Shanks seemed to improve, and Shanks never truly defeated Shanks.

Hawkeye Mihawk awkwardly scratched his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be that simple. Although he's very powerful, that guy seems to lack common sense!"

Shiraishi Xiu shook his head and said, "Don't say that. He's a very meticulous man. It's just that he always gives people the impression of being so optimistic and cheerful. He's wise in disguise! Do you understand? He really is a wise man who appears foolish!"

Hawkeye Mihawk couldn't help but gasp. He never imagined that Shiraishi Osamu knew so much about Shanks.

After Shiraishi Osamu's reasoning, Hawkeye Mihawk carefully considered Shanks and concluded that, as Shiraishi Osamu said, Shanks was only outwardly cheerful but actually very shrewd.

Hawkeye Mihawk sighed and said, "Alright, now I agree with you. I never really understood him before, but now I've changed my mind about him."

Shiraishi Xiu gently patted Hawkeye Mihawk on the shoulder and said, "Don't take my words too seriously. I just think that to govern my great empire well, I need the help of both of you."

Shiraishi Osamu continued, "If the two of you become enemies, or if you continue to have this conflict, that's the last thing I want to see. So I hope you..."

They are able to cooperate and collaborate very well.

Hawkeye Mihawk said, "I will definitely put aside my prejudices and get along well with Red-Haired Shanks. However, there's no doubt that we'll have a major conflict over training."

Chapter 0906: Stopping at the Right Point

Shiraishi Osamu said with a grin, "That's no problem at all. Since you two are both men who pursue strength, you're bound to clash. I hope you can always stop when you've reached your limit."

Hawkeye Mihawk stood up, looked intently at Shiraishi Xiu, and suddenly bowed to him.

Hawkeye Mihawk said to Shiraishi Xiu, "I understand your thoughts, so in the future, even if I fight Hawkeye Mihawk, I will definitely stop when it's too late and there will be no dangerous situation."

Hearing this, Shiraishi Xiu finally smiled with satisfaction.

Hawkeye Mihawk sat back down next to Shiraishi Xiu and said, "Why are you suddenly telling me all this today?"

Shiraishi Osamu said with a grin, "I'm only telling you these things because you've always been a meticulous man with a broad perspective."

Osamu Shiraishi added, "He was never a man of great vision. He was too naive and romantic. He was an excellent navigator, but definitely not someone who was willing to get along with others."

Hawkeye Mihawk suddenly realized and said to Shiraishi Xiu, "You're really good at judging people."

Shiraishi Osamu chuckled softly and said, "To be honest, I have a bad feeling..."

Hawkeye Mihawk said, "What bad feeling? Don't scare me. After all, I've been following in your footsteps. If one day you suddenly leave me, I will feel very frustrated."

Shiraishi Xiu shook his head and said, "Impossible, this situation will absolutely not happen. You should know that with my strength, there is absolutely no way I could be defeated."

Although Hawkeye Mihawk didn't understand why Shiraishi was so confident, he certainly believed what Shiraishi said.

Hawkeye Mihawk said to Shiraishi Osamu, "I don't know why, but you always give me a very reassuring feeling."

Shiraishi Xiu smiled slightly and said, "When you are as powerful as me one day, you will also possess such a spirit."

Hawkeye Mihawk frowned again and asked, "Then what did you mean by a bad feeling... Did you see the future?"

Shiraishi Xiu nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, I see the distant future, and I feel that I will not be by your side in the future, so I hope that you will cooperate to govern the empire together."

Hawkeye Mihawk gasped and said to Shiraishi Xiu, "Will that day really come? That would be terrible. I don't think any of us is more suited to be the leader than you."

?0 Requesting flowers ooo?0

Shiraishi Xiu laughed and said, "I just need you to help me clean up the mess, or rather, to stabilize the situation."

Hawkeye Mihawk, completely convinced, said, "So you mean you really will disappear for a while...?"

Shiraishi Osamu sighed and said, "I don't know either, but I have a feeling that this will happen in the near future."

Shiraishi Xiu added, "It's not far..."

As he spoke, his gaze passed over the bright surface of the swimming pool and looked out the window.

It was the day of the full moon. The moon hung by the window.

Shiraishi Xiu turned back to look at Hawkeye Mihawk and said, "No matter what, you must cooperate well with Red-Haired Shanks, that's all."

Hawkeye Mihawk said, "I'm willing to cooperate with him, you can rest assured about that."

Shiraishi Xiu, satisfied, said, "With your guarantee, I believe it's more effective than any military order. You're a man who will absolutely keep his promises, right?!" Hawkeye Mihawk replied, "Yes! I am absolutely a man who will keep his promises."

Chapter 0907: These are all minor matters

Just then, Shanks walked over, and Shiraishi Osamu waved to him with a grin, "Come and play with us..."

Seeing Hawkeye Mihawk beside Shiraishi, Red-Haired Shanks couldn't help but say, "You two were actually swimming here? That's really cunning. You didn't even tell me you were swimming!"

Hawkeye Mihawk chuckled and said, "You want to come swim with us, but don't you have a lot of unfinished '433' missions?"

Shiraishi Xiu quickly waved his hand and said, "Although there are many tasks that haven't been completed, these are minor matters. The most important thing now is for everyone to have a good chat."

Red-Haired Shanks laughed and said, "I thought all high-ranking commanders would be like Osamu Shiraishi."

Hawkeye Mihawk said, "That's impossible. There is only one Shiraishi Xiu on this ocean, and I only acknowledge one Shiraishi Xiu."

Shiraishi Osamu touched his nose and said awkwardly, "You don't need to praise me like that, it makes me shy."

Shanks said, "I've come to see you because I have something to say."

Shiraishi Osamu looked at Shanks with surprise and asked, "What's wrong? Because I really can't imagine anything more important than swimming."

Shanks smiled slightly and said, "This matter is indeed very important. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to find you in such a hurry."

Shanks said to Shiraishi, "Listen to me carefully, I've discovered a base beneath them."

"Another base was discovered under the command of this unit?"

Shiraishi Osamu frowned, looking at Shanks with surprise, and asked.

Shanks nodded and said, "That's right. It's because this base is filled with many sophisticated instruments that I find it so strange."

Shiraishi Xiu said with a grin, "I understand now. They mobilized so many pacifists this time. I thought this new pacifist was developed elsewhere. It seems their branch plans to produce it here."

"So that's how it is. That explains it..."

Shanks thought for a moment and then answered.

Shiraishi Xiu said with a grin, "That must be it. Otherwise, there would be no reason for them to specifically set aside a base."

Shiraishi Osamu stood up, putting on his clothes as he said, "Take me there quickly, I'm quite interested in these scientific units. I feel they're the best way to transform my empire into a modern nation."

Shanks chuckled and said, "You really are a formidable man, because you've always been so clever and wise."

Along the long corridor, Shanks walked in front and Shiraishi Osamu followed behind. They passed through the passageway and then took the elevator down to the last floor.

A ding-dong sound. The elevator doors opened.

Shiraishi Shu led Shanks out into a huge laboratory filled with all sorts of sophisticated instruments and equipment. The floor and ceiling were surrounded by wires and fiber optic cables.

"That's amazing!"

Shiraishi Xiu glanced at the surroundings and couldn't help but praise them.

At this moment, Hawkeye Mihawk also came out and expressed his admiration as well.

Chapter 0908: A Different Kind of Architecture

"This is truly remarkable. If such sophisticated equipment could be used by our empire, our technological level would definitely reach a new level."

Shiraishi Xiu glanced at a design drawing next to him and said, "Look at this design drawing. It's a railway design. If this design could be completed, it would definitely be a very different building."

Hawkeye Mihawk frowned and asked, "And what is a railway...?"

White 10 Stone Xiu quickly said, "You know Water Seven, right? There's a sea train there. I guess the Navy's design here is for building a land-based train."

Upon hearing this, Shanks exclaimed in surprise, "That's amazing! If such a means of transportation can bring convenience to the people, it will definitely be another step forward."

Shiraishi Osamu said with a grin, "That's true. It turns out that not all Marines are useless. At least in my opinion, someone like Vegapunk is quite remarkable!"

Shanks said, "That makes sense. I suspect that the design is his plan. It is said that he has an IQ that is more than 500 years higher than that of modern humans."

Shiraishi Osamu sat down in the chair next to him and said, "I don't think he has an intelligence that is more than 500 years ahead of people today. I think he is a normal human being."

What do you mean by that?

Shanks, the red-haired man, couldn't help but ask.
