One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 551 Raising the Whitebeard Banner

Is the world becoming more and more fantastical?

I thought it would be just another ordinary day.

But I never expected the turn of events to come so suddenly.

The two people revealed his identity the moment they met him.

They then said that they had carried on their father's legacy.

Although there is no hostility towards me.

But Hiyori doesn't know whether she should trust them.

They want to help restore the order that Wano Country had before.

That is, to defeat Orochi and Kaido.

That does sound good.

But things went a little too smoothly.

This was somewhat unbelievable to Hiyori, who had been facing headwinds for a long time.

“We will find a way to defeat Kaido and Orochi, and restore this land to its former glory. I think that's also your wish.”

Roman said seriously.

However, she also tries to avoid direct eye contact with Hiyori.

After all, she is indeed quite beautiful.

Moreover, he has a unique temperament.

When faced with the gaze of someone like that, a conversation can easily lose its momentum.

Roman wasn't heartless, so naturally he couldn't remain completely unmoved.

"Yes, yes, in the name of Kozuki, we will definitely do it."

Yamato quickly echoed his agreement.

"But……"

Although she wanted to believe them, Hiyori still found it incredible.

This is practically like a pie falling from the sky.

It's so bizarre that it's hard to accept.

why?

Why help yourself?

"Whitebeard, do you know that?"

A familiar name.

This made Hiyori's eyes light up.

"Yamato is from Wano Country and admires Oden's spirit, but I am different. You can tell from my unique name and my clothes that I am a stranger. I, Arlong, have come in the name of Whitebeard to avenge the blood feud of the past."

Hiyori::! ! !

Yamato: ⊙▽⊙……How come I don't remember her mentioning this to me before? And who is Whitebeard? Did I forget?

Hiyori immediately became excited: "Is it him?"

Roman's words put Hiyori at ease.

She was born on Whitebeard's ship.

He was a man who treated her father like a brother.

Although my memory is already blurred.

Only some fragments.

But she still heard her parents tell stories about the past.

"Please believe that we will bring true liberation to this homeland."

……

Oden was certainly very important to Whitebeard.

But his family is also very important.

He couldn't let everyone be with him just because Oden had died.

The reason they did everything in their power to save Ace was, firstly, because Ace was still alive.

Secondly, he wanted Ace to become the successor to lead the Whitebeard Pirates.

At that time, Whitebeard probably also sensed that his time was coming to an end.

However, the Whitebeard Pirates still need a pillar of support.

Ace is the best choice.

If Ace can be rescued, then in the future, he can naturally protect the Whitebeard Pirates.

So he took the plunge and went for it.

But not now.

There is no one to take on the mantle in the next generation of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Whitebeard knew he had to live.

He should even be well.

He knew that many people coveted his head.

Therefore, he cannot frequently clash with Kaido.

A person with reservations is naturally no match for a madman who has no reservations.

Kaido only wants chaos.

That's why Kaido is so difficult to deal with.

Although she didn't want to use Whitebeard's name, she didn't mind using it to deceive people in order to achieve her goal.

For Hiyori now, Roman and Yamato are her lifeline.

As a drowning person, all she could do was desperately grab onto the things.

Whether it succeeds or not is something we'll have to consider later.

Now, she can't afford to lose this opportunity no matter what.

He had given her a plausible excuse.

It doesn't even require supporting evidence.

She couldn't help it.

"Then, what do you need me to do?"

Just as Roman had predicted.

Hiyori's eyes hardened.

There's no need to hesitate any longer.

The other party has already taken on more risks for her.

Should I still hesitate?

She was the daughter of a samurai.

She is Kozuki's daughter.

She is Hiyori Oden.

This is something she has to do.

very good.

This time, Roman could look Hiyori in the eye without hesitation.

This time, what attracted Roman was not her painting-like, gorgeous appearance, nor her unique, languid temperament.

What attracted Roman was her inner strength, which was revealed through her eyes.

She is different from Momonosuke, who was forced to grow up overnight.

Hiyori has undergone a complete growth process.

Even now, she is mature enough.

“Then, if possible, I would like to see Enma.”
