One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 297 It's a pity they play politics.

The Kingdom of Prodens.

At first glance, this name might sound a bit unfamiliar.

However, if we talk about his neighboring country, those who have watched One Piece will certainly be familiar with it, and his neighboring country is Dressrosa, a place full of passion and romance.

Although Dressrosa is poor, it is still commendable that no wars occurred during the eight hundred years of rule by the Riku royal family.

Moreover, the country's unique traditions are truly unforgettable.

After all, it is a country full of passion and romance.

This has also led to a very open attitude towards relationships between men and women.

In a romantic relationship, the man will give the woman a pretty hair clip.

When a romantic relationship ends, the woman will remove her hair clip.

In extreme cases, women may even chase and kill their former lovers with knives.

Just like Violet submitted to Doflamingo.

Because this country is passionate and romantic, it wasn't painful for the princess to submit to Doflamingo.

For her, this was more of a necessary experience to go into hiding.

After all, Violet was the future queen after Princess Scarlett's "death".

When Doflamingo stormed Dressrosa, Violet had already been the crown princess for six years.

He already possesses the basic qualities of a crown prince.

Moreover, Violet was also a princess involved in politics.

They understand the exchange of interests and the importance of the bigger picture.

So unlike the usual formula where two people fall in love out of hatred, embark on a torturous romance, and continue their entanglement.

When she determined that it was the best time to overthrow Doflamingo, Violet acted without hesitation.

In the end, he confronted Doflamingo face to face, removed his hair clip, ended their romantic relationship, and confronted him with a knife.

Doflamingo showed no mercy either.

The two women are bound by purely self-interest, with no feelings involved.

However, this will happen a long time from now.

The Riku royal family still rules Dressrosa.

So here's the key question: why did Roman go to Prodense, a neighboring country of Dressrosa?

"Why do you want to go to Prodense in the New World?" This was also a question that puzzled Kizaru.

Roman always has his own ideas and reasons for doing things.

"It seems you haven't read the request for assistance."

Request for assistance.

It was a letter of appeal from the member states of the world to the world government.

It is hoped that world governments can solve the problems of our country.

If it's a pirate issue, it will be handled by the Navy; if it's a military issue, or an issue unrelated to pirates, it will be handled by the World Government.

Of course, there will often be issues of passing the buck.

Compared to the navy, high-ranking officials in the world government are more severely corrupted.

Therefore, the world government often delegates tasks it doesn't want to do to the navy.

However, the naval organization is just a large armed organization. If you ask us to solve political problems, livelihood issues, economic problems... well, I'm sorry, we can't help you with that.

Therefore, many things have been delayed for a long time.

"You actually watch that stuff?" Kizaru was genuinely surprised that Roman was so quick-witted.

I was too hasty. If I had known she still had the energy, I should have given her the rest of my work as well.

"You seem to be thinking something very outrageous." Roman keenly sensed Kizaru's thoughts.

"How could that be? I just didn't expect it." Kizaru lied without changing his expression.

"That country seems to have some livelihood issues. If we didn't see them, we could leave it at that. But since we did see them, I think we should still do our part. That way, we won't let down the Navy's sense of justice. In any case, it's better than choosing a side now. Don't you think that makes sense?"

Here we go again, here we go again.

Kizaru's expression changed.

Besides being sharp-tongued, Roman can sometimes be a "moral exemplar".

This is also the point that Kizaru can't see clearly at all.

Sometimes, she seems to be overly responsible.

She's usually very rational, but sometimes she seems...

The explanation for Kizaru's confusion is actually quite simple.

To outsiders, she is often seen as rational.

However, her perspective is more utilitarian.

That is, the importance of returns.

For Roman, the best gift is the one that is truly received.

However, if she keeps these thoughts hidden, it won't affect her ability to establish a persona.

The biggest advantage of this persona is that she receives positive feedback from higher-ups.

Even those who have a problem with her can't say anything bad about her.

Especially at times like this, one might feel ashamed and embarrassed.

Her reason for wanting to go to the Kingdom of Prodense was very simple.

That is to complete a transaction.

An opportunity to make yourself stronger.

While success cannot be guaranteed 100%, you'll only know if you try.

After receiving Kizaru's permission, Roman also shared his thoughts with Sengoku.

In this way, he set a good example of "noble character and integrity".

After all, at a time when the conflict between Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Akainu was escalating, many people were busy taking sides, which only exacerbated the conflict.

But Roman's attitude at this moment shows that she doesn't value this and prefers to do practical things.

"But aren't you on Aokiji's side this time?" Sengoku couldn't help but ask, a hint of curiosity in his voice.

After all, Roman and Aokiji have had a good relationship for a long time.

"After all, this kind of struggle is not what I want to see. In fact, I think Mr. Aokiji is also helpless about this matter."

"Aren't you worried he'll be angry?" After all, it was Aokiji who initially gave Roman support.

"Someone favored by Mr. Sengoku and who is Mr. Garp's first disciple, I imagine he must be very broad-minded," Roman said wittily.

However, those words do indeed make people feel comfortable.

Watching Roman's departing figure, Sengoku fell into deep thought once again.

Will she one day be able to sit in her current position?

However, this idea was quickly forgotten by the Warring States period.

It's not impossible, but that would have taken too long.

Now I should try to find a way to reconcile Kuzan and Sakazuki.

Roman, who received the application, was overjoyed, as if he had won a battle.

Everything went very smoothly.
