One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 473 The path I chose, I will walk it to the end, even if I cry.

"So you all want me to give you extra training?"

Just as dawn was breaking, the four children, their heads wet with dew and their clothes covered in bits of grass, came knocking on the door.

It's clear they're in a hurry.

Moreover, the path from the yard to the house is not easy to walk.

After all, plants don't give way easily.

As soon as they entered, all of them except Binz immediately made their requests.

Roman was quite surprised by the requests from the other three children.

"Yes, we are sorry for our abruptness, but we sincerely hope that you can give us the opportunity to practice."

"Emm, can we put this aside for now? I'd rather figure out what happened."

Roman spoke slowly, then glanced at Binz, whose face was already bruised and swollen.

Binz's face...

Logically speaking, LaVine wouldn't be likely to use such drastic measures.

He generally doesn't like to be contradicted.

This was also his old habit.

After all, LaVine was a bounty hunter by trade.

If you disfigure someone's face, it becomes difficult to identify them.

Besides, the face isn't a vital area.

Therefore, LaVine doesn't have a habit of contradicting himself.

Being extremely greedy, he was unwilling to risk his prize money.

Moreover, I always felt that the injury on Binz's face was the result of resentment.

However, the "murderer" is actually quite easy to guess.

Putting aside Binz's angry glares at the other three, their flushed faces were a clear sign of their guilty conscience.

“It’s because he’s too boastful,” Ain said first.

Kuina and Drake nodded in agreement.

Of course, the redness on their faces had not yet faded.

After all, beating up your colleagues is hardly something to be proud of.

Especially since it was a group fight.

But I couldn't help it; I couldn't resist.

Drake was the one whose face turned the reddest.

After all, he is already a mature adult.

How could they hit a child like that...

That's so embarrassing.

However, he couldn't resist.

"You're just jealous of me."

"It's clearly because you're too arrogant."

"Okay, okay, I think I understand what you mean."

Seeing that the conflict was escalating, Roman also called for a halt.

It's really just a matter of time.

Binz can't keep things to himself.

Roman was well aware of this.

It's just that it's happening earlier than expected.

but……

"I just hope you won't regret it."

"I will absolutely not regret it."

"very good."

Seeing that they had expressed their stance, Roman felt relieved.

Once you've chosen your own path, you'll grit your teeth and see it through to the end.

Afterwards, Roman's series of actions made the four boys realize just how weighty the title "Black Dragon" really was.

Guina truly benefited greatly from the duel between Roman and Mihawk.

Then, after witnessing the true swordsmanship, her talent began to emerge, and then... she was driven to despair by Roman.

Roman is overwhelmingly stronger than Sly.

If Sly's tactics against her were somewhat predictable, then Roman's moves were completely unpredictable.

Only by experiencing it firsthand can you truly understand the absolute difference.

Roman merely brushed past her, and she fell for his trick.

He had no idea when he had been hit.

Only the bloody wounds on his body revealed the truth of what had just happened.

Guina dared not imagine that if she hadn't used the back of the knife, she would probably have been cut into pieces.

The black dragon possesses both incredible speed and unparalleled power.

Hawkeye possesses impeccable skill and a fearless spirit.

Their individual characteristics allowed them to reach their respective peaks.

Even though it's regrettable, Kuina has to admit that she can't replicate the Black Dragon's power given her own limitations.

No one but herself can advance down her path.

Compared to Black Dragon, Hawkeye, whom she had personally witnessed, seemed to be better at learning.

Unbeknownst to Guina, her thoughts had already entered Roman's rhythm.

Mihawk's path is the same path Roman hopes Guina will take.

Because it was a pure path.

When it comes to swords, Kuina has a pure and innocent heart.

Mihawk's path was more suitable for her than her own.

Moreover, Roman also had his own ulterior motives.

The path that Longma walked is now lost to history.

But Mihawk was still a living, breathing human being.

The fact that he touched the threshold shows that his path does indeed have the potential to unlock the Black Blade.

Since Mihawk is capable, it would be better to guide Guina down a more promising path.

Moreover, Roman was very eager to see if this was feasible.

Becoming the world's greatest swordsman is incredibly difficult.

Even though this is a world of fruits, there are still countless swordsmen.

Both Zoro and Mihawk have experienced life-or-death crises to varying degrees.

Only by surviving a bloody struggle can one see hope for the future.

Since the road ahead is already so difficult, she could choose a safer path for Guina.

call.

That Mihawk finally proved to be somewhat useful.

She had a feeling that she might not be able to learn anything from Mihawk.

However, Guina, influenced by Mihawk, was more useful to her.
