Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Then, two more pairs of wings unfurled from the back of the assassin, Kro. They were wings made of white clouds again, but this time they had turned into dark clouds!

"Dark Cloud Eagle!"

"Killer Chloe gritted his teeth and said heavily."

It was as if unleashing this move had exhausted all his strength.

But Shiraishi Xiu said casually, "Listen to me carefully, I've already told you, you are no match for me, so don't bother resisting!"

"A stubborn resistance?"

The assassin, Kro, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe I'm weaker than you!"

It happened very quickly. The assassin, Kro, flew close to the ground like a dragonfly to Shiraishi Xiu and then used his long wings to launch an attack on him.

With a slight dodge, Shiroshiki dodged the attack and then grabbed the wings made of dark clouds.

With a touch, the assassin Kro was thrown away by Shiraishi Xiu.

boom!

Just then, the assassin Kro sneered and said to Shiraishi Xiu, "Useless~".

As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds began to spread out. More and more clouds appeared, until they completely surrounded Bai Shixiu. Bai Shixiu's hands felt as if they were embedded in cotton candy, and he couldn't break free no matter what he did.

Shiraishi Osamu then said, "Impressive, possessing such skill, but compared to me, it's still nothing!"

After saying this, Shiraishi Xiu's eyes turned bluish-red, as if he was about to unleash his most powerful illusion technique—Amaterasu.

However, the assassin Kro had already witnessed this move, so he immediately withdrew his dark cloud.

With a light tap of his heel on the ground, the assassin Kro and Shiraishi Xiu created a considerable distance between themselves; he didn't want to confront Shiraishi Xiu head-on.

He wanted to use the power of this excellent Devil Fruit to inflict huge damage on Shiraishi Shu!

This is his entire plan.

Shiraishi Xiu saw through the plan. However, he didn't intend to expose the assassin, Kro, because he knew that no matter what, the man was still quite capable.

If Shiraishi Shu can defeat the assassin Kro here today, he believes his strength will reach a new level!

The assassin, Kro, is the expert that Shiraishi Xiu has been searching for.

Shiraishi Osamu constantly seeks out masters and engages in high-quality battles in order to reach the pinnacle of his strength!

Only through constant sparring can one reach the pinnacle of their skill. However, such sparring is impossible; one cannot consistently maintain a one-sided domination of the enemy, otherwise progress will be impossible.

Shiraishi Xiu suddenly said with a grin: "To be honest, I quite like you, kid, because you're strong enough. I've been looking for a master like you."

The assassin, Kro, said, "Aren't you afraid of being murdered by a master like me?"

Shiraishi Osamu shook his head and said, "There is absolutely no one in this world who can defeat me."

Assassin Chloe said, "How can you be so confident!"

Shiraishi Xiu laughed heartily and said, "If I didn't even have this much confidence, how could I possibly have the ambition to dominate the entire world!"

Chapter 0920: Lacking Strength

"So you also have ambitions to dominate the entire world?"

"Killer Kro asked Shiraishi Xiu."

Shiraishi Xiu nodded and said, "Of course, almost every man has this thought. I just have the ability to do it, while those others don't."

Assassin Kro gritted his teeth and said to Shiraishi Xiu, "What you say is true. If you asked me to fight against the World Government on my own, I would absolutely not be willing."

Why are you unwilling?

Shiraishi Xiu looked at the assassin Kro with surprise and asked, "Do you want to join my side?"

Assassin Crow refused Shiraishi Shu's offer, saying, "You don't understand World Government 443. You don't know how terrifying the power of those old fogies is. What you've seen is merely the tip of the iceberg of the World Government!"

Shiraishi Xiu nodded solemnly and said, "Perhaps you are right, but even so, I am not afraid, because I am Shiraishi Xiu, a strong man."

The assassin, Kro, laughed and said, "I can see you're quite confident, but what's the story behind that? If you really are that confident, then I don't think you possess the power to stand against the World Government!"

Shiraishi Osamu said with a grin, "This level is enough."

It happened incredibly fast. Shiraishi Xiu shot straight towards the assassin Kro, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

boom!!

The assassin, Kro, originally intended to use the dark cloud to block Shiraishi Xiu's fist, but he was actually knocked away by it!

Just as he was feeling puzzled, Bai Shixiu rushed over again. It turned out that Bai Shixiu's hands were covered with a layer of blue energy, and that blue energy could actually evaporate his dark clouds!

"What kind of move is this?"

The assassin, Kro, asked in surprise.

He was truly troubled by Shiraishi Osamu's endless stream of moves.

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Shu stopped and raised his arm, which was covered in blue energy, and said to the assassin Kuro, "This is called chakra. It's energy from another world. When I cast a genjutsu on you just now, I suddenly realized that this stuff could evaporate your clouds."

The assassin, Chloe, said angrily, "Then you really are a despicable fellow!"

Shiraishi took a long breath and said, "It's not that exaggerated. If I weren't this kind of person, you'd probably resort to underhanded tactics too. So, how am I as despicable as you?"

With just one sentence, Shiraishi Xiu left the assassin, Kro, speechless, staring blankly at Shiraishi Xiu!

Shiraishi Xiu continued with a grin, "We're all in the same boat. There's no such thing as fairness or justice on the battlefield; it's always a game of deception and treachery."

The assassin, Kro, added, "That's true, but I'm completely out of tricks to deal with you now, which is really making me anxious!"

Shiraishi Xiu shook his head and said, "You're probably just trying to fool me with those words. I don't think you're the type to give up so easily."

Shiraishi Osamu vaguely sensed that beneath the seemingly gentle exterior of the assassin Chloe, a much larger conspiracy was lurking!

Shiraishi Osamu never underestimated this man from beginning to end, because he knew that as an assassin, Krok must have other tricks up his sleeve.

Therefore, in order to prevent this conspiracy from launching a sudden attack, Shiraishi Osamu had already taken extra precautions.

Chapter 0921: Trembling with Fear

If anything seemed amiss, Shiraishi Xiu was willing to swallow his pride and leave immediately. He wasn't sure if he could foil their plot.

The fact that the assassin Kro was able to fight him on equal terms with his own abilities was something that Shiraishi Xiu found particularly puzzling!

In the past, he was so confident because he was strong enough to crush his opponent!

But now he finds himself unable to do it. That's why he's so terrified.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind Shiraishi Xiu.

It was none other than Bruno.

When Bruno appeared, Shiraishi Osamu was horrified.

Bruno is a user of the Door-Door Fruit, which allows him to open doors in the air.

In an instant, Shiraishi Xiu was captured by Bruno and transported to a time-space realm. After wandering around in the time-space realm, he unexpectedly woke up on a warship.

Shiraishi Osamu suddenly opened his eyes, horrified and at a loss for what to do.

Whose warship is this? Where is it headed? These questions couldn't help but arise in his mind.

Just then, Shiraishi Xiu overheard a noise coming from the next room. With his Observation Haki, he was able to guess the identity of the person in question.

"Hehe, so I got arrested."

Shiraishi Osamu was actually somewhat excited. However, he did not act rashly.

He knew that the most important thing at this moment was to find out where the warship should go, rather than acting rashly.

So, Shiraishi Osamu made a plan.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

To avoid being seen, Shiraishi Osamu used ninjutsu to create a clone, while his main body slipped away from the room. He knew perfectly well that the warship couldn't stop him. The reason the assassin, Kuro, didn't even order someone to look after Shiraishi Osamu was because he believed he had defeated him.

Once on the deck, Shiraishi Osamu was already dressed in disguise.

He wore a red scarf and a naval uniform, and certainly looked like a soldier. In fact, he could have used ninjutsu to disguise himself, but he didn't want to, because that would take away the fun.

"Are you new here?" a voice suddenly called out. Shiraishi Xiu turned around and saw a soldier with a big nose standing in front of him.

Shiraishi Osamu glanced at him and said, "I'm new here. What's wrong?"

?0 Requesting flowers ooo?0

The big-nosed soldier said, "Didn't I ask you? You're on duty right now, and you're just playing around here. Come with me to clean the wine cellar."

"Clean out the wine cellar?"

Hearing this, Shiraishi Xiu became interested again. However, he still didn't show it, only nodding and agreeing a few times before following behind the big-nosed soldier.

"Wow, this warship is huge!" After passing through several long, damp corridors, the two arrived at a high iron staircase. Here, Shiraishi Xiu glanced at the big-nosed soldier and couldn't help but ask, "This is the wine cellar? Why does a warship have a wine cellar?"

“Oh, oh!” said the big-nosed soldier. “I forgot you’re new here. As you know, this warship is for transporting Celestial Dragons’ gold and toys, which is why it has a wine cellar. This time, our mission doesn’t seem to be to find toys, but rather to arrest someone, I wonder…”

"Arrest Shiraishi Osamu?"

Shiraishi Xiu rolled his eyes and said.

"Who knows? They say that person was detained in warehouse number 53, personally guarded by Lord Klow, but it has nothing to do with us; we're just handymen."

Chapter 0922: Smoke

The big-nosed soldier pulled a bunch of keys from his pocket and started unlocking the door with a frown.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with us."

Shiraishi Xiu said so.

"This warship is heading to Mariado. When we get there, let's just cause a huge ruckus!" Shiraishi Osamu thought to himself. His heart pounded with excitement at the thought, because this was something truly meaningful.

With a click, the large-bellied lock opened, revealing the number "447". The big-nosed soldier placed the lock on the ground and said, "Come in..."

After saying this, he was about to go inside, but as soon as he stepped in, he hurriedly stepped back out. Bai Shixiu thought something had happened to him. The next moment, he understood.

Smoke and the smell of alcohol billowed out of the warehouse, and for a moment even the steps were filled with an unpleasant odor.

"I think we should wait a bit before going in. After all, the smell is unbearable," the big-nosed soldier suggested.

Shiraishi Osamu smiled and said, "Okay."

So the two found a secluded spot where they couldn't smell anything and sat down. Shiraishi Xiu offered the soldier a cigarette, but the soldier shook his head and said, "I don't like cigarettes."
