One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 599 Plants Grow on the Body

Plants possess unimaginable resilience.

They can sprout anywhere.

All it takes is a little air, or a little warmth.

Add a little more space.

Plants are such amazing things.

And this is even more true with the blessing of the Sensen Fruit.

Their seeds can be left in ice fields and deserts.

They'll pop up whenever there's even the slightest chance.

Because of the dense fruit, the plants in Roman have all become fierce predators.

They are greedy, reckless, and will seize any opportunity to exploit.

I don't mind where it is.

Even the human body is the same.

Corpses are the best nutrients for soil.

Human corpses are also fertile soil full of organic matter.

It's not impossible for flowers to bloom from inside a person's body.

Just like now...

It hurts and itches.

It seemed that the wound was becoming more unbearable.

The sudden, strange pain actually restored some of Kaido's senses.

The scorching environment had driven him to the brink of madness.

However, the extreme environment prevented him from even going completely insane.

But Kaido suddenly felt an even deeper threat.

And he soon discovered it too...

Plants grew inside my body.

Green leaves sprouted from the wound.

Tender and green.

Terrible.

At that moment, even Kaido felt a chill run down his spine.

That wound... it's from that dragon.

Kaido quickly recalled the green dragon's bite wound on him.

Kaido didn't care about anything else and hurriedly tried to pull it off.

But in just one moment, he felt excruciating pain inside his body.

"It's no use. It will grow out, which means it has already taken root and sprouted inside. How can you pull it out with brute force?"

Roman was not lying.

She bit Kaido with the Green Thorn Dragon.

Their purpose was not only to plunder Kaido's power, but also to inject the seed into Kaido's body.

His appearance is indeed too tough.

That's why Roman got his eye on it.

To remove them all, Kaido would have to perform at least several surgeries.

Otherwise, one can only endure this pain.

Such a battle situation is destined to be a pipe dream.

I reckon only Queen in the Beasts Pirates could do that.

But now, Queen can't help Kaido.

Plants grow inside the bodies of those who are not users of the Mori-Mori Fruit.

And it is constantly absorbing flesh and blood.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

Even Roman had to admit that it was an overly ruthless tactic.

Humans naturally experience a fear of the emptiness of the body.

The sight of visible, foreign life forms growing on a person's body is even more terrifying.

It was a fear rooted in our genes.

People's first instinctive reaction is to tear it off.

But even if you break a bone, the tendons still connect it.

Using brute force alone is not realistic.

It will only worsen the injury.

Take Kaido, for example, right now.

Blood flowed from the hole from which the plant had grown.

And it cannot heal.

He will feel increasingly uncomfortable and powerless.

Because plants are eating people.

And it's ironic.

The better Kaido's body is, the more vigorously they will grow.

Their proud physique actually accelerates their growth rate.

"What a vicious method!"

At the same time, Kaido also realized it.

This is not something that can be pulled out.

That is indeed a vicious method.

Roman has to admit that.

It is indeed a heinous act to subject a person to torture before death.

Slaughter is the lowest of the lowest.

She wasn't very confident to begin with.

However, the power of the Mori-Mori Fruit is beyond imagination.

“You’re right, Kaido. I also think this is really inappropriate. In that case, I should send you away sooner rather than later.”

Kaido doesn't like heat.

But now he has a feeling that he wants to stay in the fire.

Those plants don't like them either.

Leaving them here will actually inhibit their growth.

Kaido's intuition told him so.

Staying here seems to be the better choice.

However, he is Kaido.

He won't do anything to please others.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"

Enraged, Kaido delivered a powerful blow to Roman with his hammer.

It's quite fast.

Even with a large physique.

But once they get serious, no one will have an easy time.

This time, Roman couldn't escape.

Her body was completely injured.
