One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 603 Have you forgotten Orochi?

"As expected, you're still alive. You really are unkillable!"

After an unknown amount of time, Kaido finally heard the voice he had expected.

This made him open his already cloudy eyes.

He stared intently at the small figure below him.

Navy Black Dragon.

Just as I expected.

She looked absolutely terrible.

Almost all of his skin was burned off.

Including her face.

It was like a corpse that had been half burned.

However, compared to her appearance, her physical condition is not that dangerous.

Compared to herself, at least she can still move and seems to be able to move freely.

The result is already quite obvious.

"You're burned beyond recognition, yet you're still not dead!"

She really had the confidence to say that.

"Is Yamato dead?"

"Why do you say that?" Roman asked with great interest.

"Isn't this exactly how you're useful to Yamato? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so resolute. You wouldn't want to perish with me."

"You're quite shrewd, Kaido. It's a pity you gave up on yourself."

Roman is pragmatic.

Kaido was once a guy with a heroic spirit.

It's a pity that you gave up on yourself, which is why you've fallen to this state.

"Joy Boy is magical because hopeless people gave him hope, and you, who have lost hope, are destined never to become Joy Boy. It's that simple."

Joy Boy, in essence, was just a person from 800 years ago.

People remember him simply because he brought them new hope and a bright future.

If Kaido could change this era, he too could become the universally acclaimed Joy Boy.

He gave up on his own.

Even if I can't become Joy Boy, what does it matter?

Does Kaido really think that's an easy thing?

"You simply don't understand..."

"So long-winded, do I really need to lecture you at a time like this?"

Before Kaido could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.

It's Yamato.

still alive?

"You...you're not dead?"

"What did you say?"

Yamato has a fiery temper, and upon hearing Kaido's words, she was about to attack.

But Roman stopped him.

"A dying person need not exert himself."

"why?"

This time, Kaido looked at Roman.

He didn't understand.

The black dragon's power can absorb Zoan-type Devil Fruit users.

And that's exactly what she did.

It is clear.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be standing right in front of me like this.

Normally, she should be in an extremely dangerous situation.

Just surviving is a feat; such an activity is simply impossible.

Therefore, the best choice for her is Yamato.

To prevent anyone from joining her battle, she eliminated all her Zoan-type minions before the battle even began.

But Yamato is still here.

Kaido was well aware of Yamato's foolishness.

She never imagined how dangerous it would be for a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user like herself to be in the presence of someone who could steal the Mori-Mori Fruit.

Despite his limited mobility, Yamato can proactively deliver himself to your door.

There's no reason for the black dragon to hold back.

Kaido clearly understood that she was using Yamato.

The foolish Yamato is likely to be manipulated by her.

Even in death, it will likely be an unclear and unexplained affair.

Given the current situation, there's no reason for her to keep Yamato.

After all, she had almost achieved her goal.

Regardless of whether she was a naval officer or Lingling's legal status, logically speaking, she shouldn't have been able to accept Yamato.

When they have value, they can coexist peacefully.

Even at this point, she hasn't broken off all pretense of civility?

"You ask me why? Haven't you figured it out yet?"

Roman smiled gently.

"I already understand, that's why I'm asking you."

Kaido didn't understand.

Black Dragon must have done something.

That's why she can stand like this now.

"Why think of me as something so terrible? I have a deeper connection with Yamato. Of course, your idea is indeed good and very logical. But you've forgotten one thing."

Did you forget something?

"I do need the energy of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user to recover, but besides Yamato, I have other options, don't I?"

"Wano Country isn't just home to the Beasts Pirates!"

"Have you forgotten the great serpent?"
