One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 149 Conspiracy—No, this time it's an open conspiracy.

When Roman learned of Mihawk's intentions, her first reaction was to refuse.

Even now, having grown stronger, she is not 100% confident that she can defeat Mihawk.

Those who are connected to the protagonist almost all possess the characteristic of being invincible under normal circumstances.

Mihawk's ultimate fate will most likely be defeat at the hands of Zoro.

Before this matter is settled, it probably won't be so easy to kill him.

Therefore, Roman had no intention of expending any more effort to compete with Mihawk.

After all, there are no tangible benefits.

On the contrary, it will only bring trouble upon yourself.

There's really no need for that.

So her first response was, "No, I think it's better to forget it, if you really want to..."

People are not as good as the sky.

She had the second male lead's address on the tip of her tongue, but when she saw the fluttering pirate flag, she swallowed it back down.

Because she had come up with another great idea.

Mihawk's refusal to join the Navy was due to both his personality and external factors.

The current situation is that external factors are not enough to force Mihawk to abandon his principles and join a faction, because he is still strong enough.

Even though he has now offended Kaido.

But if I add fuel to the fire and he gets involved with another force, then things will be much easier.

The owner of this pirate ship is none other than Werner Hassan.

Roman didn't immediately recognize it as Hassan's pirate ship, but after the undercover incident, she had seen Hassan's flag many times, so she remembered it the moment it appeared.

This is a great opportunity!!

A golden opportunity to get Mihawk into serious trouble!

But Roman isn't planning on using underhanded tactics this time.

Some traps are blatant schemes, but many people still jump into them without hesitation.

All you need to do is understand the person's personality.

"If my memory serves me right, then it should be a pirate ship from Whitebeard's Grand Fleet. Do you regret it? I don't care, after all, I was originally a Marine. Even if I angered Whitebeard, it wouldn't matter. But even if you don't want to admit it, you're still a pirate now, aren't you?" Roman asked.

"It doesn't matter. The path of a swordsman is inherently rugged. I often set obstacles for myself and overcome them. If I anger the strongest man in the world because of this, then that's an outcome I can expect." Mihawk remained calm, his sharp eyes showing no wavering, fear, or hesitation.

Tsk tsk, what a terrifying fellow.

His mind was filled only with his sword; he couldn't see anything else.

Being targeted by someone like that means you'll be caught no matter where you run.

Unless you can break things off with him on the spot.

Roman thought to himself, "Well, if we can get rid of Hassan this time, it will be a relief for the Navy."

And Sakazuki will no longer hold a grudge about this.

That day, because of her treatment of Hassan, she was so berated by Sakassky that she couldn't even lift her head.

Taking care of Hassan this time will put an end to this matter.

However, dangerous things are more fun to do with other people.

“Then, let’s see who can take down this ship together, what do you think?” Roman extended an “invitation” to Mihawk.

Roman initiated the match, and Hawk-Eye had no objection to it, or rather, it was exactly what it intended to do.

The two unleashed their combined, domineering strikes at the same time, traversing the endless sea and attacking the distant pirate ship.
