One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 398 Fortunately, I'm not like you

"I think they're becoming more and more like you."

"Ah, you mean them?" Following Aokiji's words, Roman looked at the group of four not far away.

The view from the top of the building in Marineford is always the best, offering a clear view of the people in the square.

"They've been under your command for quite a while now. Although they were problem children back then, you seem to have done a very good job," Aokiji commented.

"Wow, you're a problem child too? Is it really okay to say that?" Roman bluntly exposed him.

Aokiji: "Oh my, you're still so ruthless." Although he said that, Aokiji still had a slight smile on his face.

As Roman said, his past passion and present escapism make him a "problem child" in no way an exaggeration.

Fortunately, the situation wasn't too bad; for a long time, there were always people in the Navy who were lenient with him.

Roman has done a good job in being inclusive of "problem children".

Although her methods were somewhat harsh, she was indeed a good teacher.

She always taught her subordinates by example.

Putting everything else aside, apart from the one who looks the most unruly, the other three seem to have become much smarter.

"I think they must have been influenced by you quite a bit."

"After all, I've known them for a long time, and people always influence each other."

Suddenly, Roman seemed to realize something, and patted his chest as if he was relieved.

"What's wrong?"

"I just suddenly realized that I've known you for a long time, longer than they have."

"so……?"

"So thankfully I haven't become more and more like you."

Aokiji: "..."

……

Honestly, I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a superior officer.

After uttering those enticing words, Sly extended his hand, and after doing so, he even paused for a few seconds.

It seems I'm getting better and better at telling lies.

Should we attribute it to her?

However, after following Roman for so long, Sly had to admit that language is a power that can induce and motivate others, making them unconsciously do what he expects.

Moreover, the soldier was clearly already tempted.

"We need your help to take down Doflamingo. You probably don't want to see that man continue to be high and mighty, on the steps you guys have built with toys."

Slay continued to incite.

"I really couldn't stand that kind of scene."

The toy retrieved the sword.

“My name is Cyrus. Since we share the same goal, I will tell you everything that has happened on this island.”

……

The best way is to find the person with the ability directly.

Although that also means great difficulties.

However, as the officer said, high risk, high reward.

The worst outcome is that it becomes a toy.

But if they win, the game will be completely turned around.

With his excellent stealth skills, Glen successfully infiltrated the underground factory.

According to reliable intelligence, Doflamingo does indeed possess astonishing wealth.

But after getting to know him better, I found out just how many businesses he had been involved in.

The underground factory is essentially a huge underground city.

This place is a mixed bag, with groups of people receiving goods everywhere.

And there are toys too.

The toys, like laborers, were being ruthlessly manipulated and were now working very hard as drudges.

Even so, there were still overseers loudly criticizing their speed.

That's really impressive.

First of all, the black market is inherently highly profitable.

Given his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, no one could hold him accountable, saving him the trouble of paying for security and protection or for his escape.

The most amazing thing is that there is a large group of toy slaves who don't need to be paid wages.

All these factors combined mean that if Doflamingo can't get rich, then who can?

The person in charge of this area is Torrebol.

After witnessing this scene, Gran became even more certain that the person with the ability to turn people into toys was right here.

This is the place that needs toy slaves the most.

And it's very well hidden.

And this is also where Torrepol needs to work.

It is also the best place for this ability user to hide right now.

……

Is that the size of a dwarf?

LaVine is not a naive person.

Roman had also urged them to read more books.

In this respect, he is probably the most receptive to advice.

After all, it's much better to be able to sit on the sofa and read a book than to engage in strenuous physical training.

Under his influence, he naturally learned that there were more than just ordinary human races on land.

The navy has giants, mermaids, and fish-men.

And since the world is so vast, there must be other human-like races existing as well.

They are most likely among them.

Although she looks small, she takes photos really fast.

I'm also impressed by Patch; even while holding onto his clothes, he can keep up with the speed of those little people.

I don't know whether to praise his initiative or his speed.

"Speaking of which, why are we chasing them like this?" Shouldn't our priority be finding the one-legged soldier toy?

He stole my bread.

LaVine: "..."

"Catch him first, give him a good beating, then we can find the soldier toys later."

Ok.

In terms of revenge, Patch and his superior are surprisingly on the same page.

Lavin concluded.
