One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 288 News That Shocked the World

Imagination can create everything.

Although Roman herself wasn't particularly obsessed with Devil Fruits, now that she had eaten one, she naturally had to develop some useful techniques to compensate for her fear of the ocean.

The most distinctive feature of the Mori-Mori fruit is its ability to create a wide variety of plants.

For Roman, the magical trick of turning leaves into flowers was already second nature to him.

Creating something new based on plants and developing it into a powerful or supportive technique is a skill that truly tests the ability user.

Of course, that applies to other ability users.

Roman had a rich imagination... but others did.

Moreover, working with Borsalino allowed her to continuously draw energy from the light.

This compatible power allows her to adapt very quickly and makes it easier for her to create plants according to her own ideas.

It can be offensive, defensive, supportive, or reconnaissance.

and so……

Is that an alarm?

Roman, who was still pondering, was interrupted by the sudden alarm.

The Marineford Headquarters Alarm is typically used as a warning sound to alert the Navy in the event of a major incident.

For example, Kaido once attacked Marineford.

But Marineford is now peaceful.

Many people don't even realize what's happening when they hear the alarm.

Because Marineford is calm and peaceful, with clear skies and no external enemies.

Even with everyone gathered in the square, they still couldn't figure out what had happened.

However, Roman had already roughly guessed it.

"The Holy Land of Mary Geoise has been attacked by an unknown force."

"The invaders set fire to Mary Geoise."

"It also seems to have caused damage to the sex shops in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"I heard they also took away a large amount of treasure and money."

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys aren't talking nonsense, are you? Who would dare to go to Mary Geoise to set fire and kill people? This is openly going against the World Government. Don't they want to live?"

"Really!!! Aside from Marineford being invaded, which would trigger an alarm at headquarters, the only other possibility is that some force has invaded Mary Geoise."

"But is Mary Geoise really that easy to invade? Aren't the Celestial Dragons' personal guards and members of those secret organizations still around?"

"Who knows? But maybe it's because Mary Geoise's status is so high that..."

It's unclear who got the news, but it spread throughout the entire group.

The news also reached Roman's ears.

As expected, it started.

Roman was not surprised by this.

A month has passed since Tiger and Dragon met.

It seems they had already discussed it.

What Tiger accomplished on his own would naturally be much easier with the help of the Revolutionary Army led by Dragon.

Even dragons would be surprised.

The sacred place that I thought was as impregnable as an ironclad fortress turned out to be so lax in its defenses.

Ultimately, it's because the Celestial Dragons are too arrogant.

Always high above, they never imagined anyone would dare to trespass into their sacred place.

However, the higher you are, the harder you will fall.

But now, those in power should get excited too.

I wonder what the reactions of those people between the Flower and Power factions are.

……

Among the flowers.

"It's unusually noisy today."

The circular pupils slowly opened in the darkness, then slowly closed again, without making a sound.

……

Between power.

"How could such a thing happen?" Satan Saint's face was extremely ugly.

"This is utterly humiliating for the World Government." Maz Saint's expression was equally grim.

"I hope this won't alarm Lord Im. We must resolve this matter as soon as possible. Who on earth dares to trample on the dignity of the government like this?"

"We will absolutely not let this go. We will mobilize the Navy and the CP together, and at all costs, we must capture the people who invaded Mary Geoise."

……

Mary Geoise Attacked!!!

The Celestial Dragons' Vault Has Been Robbed!

"The Holy Land Amidst Flames"!!!

It was Morgans again, the journalist who dared to write the most.

His flamboyant writing style was once again brought to its extreme in this incident.

The first thing that catches the eye in the newspaper is the explosive headline.

Because of the attack on the Holy Land, newspaper subscriptions kept doubling, and Newsbird's workload tripled.

But it was precisely because of this that Morgans once again made a fortune.

"This Dark Emperor really doesn't give the World Government any face at all."

Looking at the newly printed newspaper, Roman laughed heartily.

The air was filled with the smell of freshly printed ink.

It can be inferred that these were newspapers printed in a rush.

It seems Morgans didn't accept the World Government's "advice" this time!

Although they are a neutral dark organization, anyone who has reached this level should know who they can offend and who they cannot provoke.

Therefore, most of the time, the world government also has to vet Morgans' news.

Sometimes, they also engage in some transactions.

For example, the fake news of Doflamingo's abdication in the original work was the result of negotiations between this dark emperor and the World Government.

Of course, the Dark Emperor also has a temper.

Ultimately, the one who controls the flow of information is him, not the world government.

When faced with a topic he truly wanted to write about, Morgans would stand his ground, even if it meant moving to a different base.

That's the source of their confidence!
