One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 95 Just say you're physically weak!

"What? Moria got away? Wasn't he supposed to be handcuffed with Seastone when he was captured?" Sengoku roared angrily at the Den Den Mushi.

"I'm so sorry, because when we used Seastone to capture Devil Fruit users before, almost all the pirates were knocked unconscious after touching the Seastone. But we really didn't expect that Moria would still have the strength to damage the ship's cabin after being handcuffed with Seastone. At that time, our Navy was fighting the pirates and was caught off guard..." The Den Den Mushi showed a guilty expression.

"Sengoku, don't get so angry. Want some donuts? Let me tell you, I ate 333 donuts in a row! I broke my record again!" Garp proudly boasted about his "achievement."

"Shut up, Garp, you bastard!" Sengoku was so angry at the absurd remarks that he stopped listening to the Den Den Mushi reports and started yelling at Garp: "That Moria wiped out a Marine branch, Morgans criticized our Marines for it, and now he's gotten away with it. Our Marines have lost all face."

He had hoped that Garp, who was back from his vacation, would help him with some things, but the lazybones just spent his days in the office spying on his senbei and grinning like an idiot. He had no idea what had happened in the East Blue that made him so happy.

"Sengoku, don't be angry. Kuzan said that Roman figured out the problem with that island based on the pirate invasion, then went to investigate and ended up fighting Moria. Luckily, they found out early, otherwise, there might have been bigger problems. But you've seen Moria's fate, so there's no need to worry. Although he was indeed a great pirate before, he's not what he used to be. It's a great thing to have a smart and strong kid serving the Navy now." After saying this, Garp stuffed another donut into his mouth.

But it would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, Sengoku's anger flared up again: "That lazy guy Kuzan actually sent a student to investigate by himself, and even lied to Zefa that it was just a normal training exercise. If it weren't for the timely report, I would have known nothing at all."

Sengoku recalled Kuzan's report from a few days ago and felt anxious and frustrated.

Although Dorati's problem has been resolved, Roman's delayed return remains a major issue.

When Sengoku asked about Roman's whereabouts, Kuzan hesitated for a moment, then said blankly: I don't know.

Seeing his unreliable subordinates, Sengoku lost his temper again.

Kuzan, who had completely forgotten that he had given the Den Den Mushi to Roman, also became a little uneasy. After all, the most likely scenario was that Roman had arrested Moria, but the newspapers made no mention of Roman's situation.

We don't want our hard-won talent to run into trouble halfway through.

As Marineford's only general, and possibly even a marshal in effect, Sengoku ordered Kuzan to find Roman's whereabouts, preferably before Zephyr found out. Otherwise, even if he didn't pursue the matter, Kuzan wouldn't fare well in front of Zephyr.

The next day, he received news that Kuzan had ridden off on his bicycle.

Then came the news of Moria's escape from the warship, which infuriated him at the unreliable Garp.

Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not worth it. Rosinandi isn't by your side now, and no one will care about you if you get angry.

"How scary! The Sengoku general shouldn't make such a scary face, it'll make you wrinkle."

Unable to resist in the end, Sengoku picked up a teacup and threw it in the direction of the sound.

Borsalino's speed was almost unmatched; he simply tilted his head slightly to dodge the attack and caught the teacup in the process.

"How awful, throwing away a teacup worth millions of Berries like that." His smug expression made one's fists itch.

"Now that you're back, find something worthwhile to do. Stop being lazy and shirking your duties all day. If I find out again, I won't hesitate to send you to the New World for a few years," Zhan Guo said sternly.

"Understood, Mr. Sengoku." Seeing that Sengoku was truly angry, Borsalino decided to back down while he was ahead.

He'd had enough of the New World after a few months. There were so many pirates worth hundreds of millions that he couldn't catch them all; it was just too much trouble. If it weren't for that brat causing trouble, he wouldn't have wanted to go to such a far place.

but……

"I heard that Syl Roman defeated that Moria, and even found the island that might be in trouble based on intelligence. He's really not to be underestimated." Borsalino started talking again.

When he returned, the first thing he did was go to Sengoku's office to find out who that brat really was.

Zhan Guo frowned: "How do you know so much?"

"Mr. Garp spoke very clearly just now. As expected of you, you have a loud voice and you sound very energetic."

"Really? I think I'm pretty awesome too, hahaha!!!" Garp laughed again, the donut crumbs in his mouth spreading all over Sengoku's documents.

The veins that Sengoku had finally managed to calm bulged again: "Both of you get out!!!"

The result was that we still didn't know anything.

Borsalino thought with considerable regret.

……

The Western Sea, the Kingdom of Palomino.

It was midday, with plenty of sunlight and a warm temperature, making it a perfect time for a nap.

But Roman and his group were packing their things.

When it was time to disembark, Roman and Buggy quickly collected their luggage and disembarked. After using their Observation Haki to quickly assess the surroundings and confirm that it was safe, Roman said to Buggy, "Robin, you can come out now."

Upon hearing this, Robin jumped down from the cape behind Buggy.

This is a replica of how Hancock hid Luffy, but now Robin is much smaller than Luffy, making her even easier to hide.

When disembarking, there were many people around, and although the situation in Ohara had calmed down, no one could guarantee that there weren't people on board who recognized Robin's face.

So it's best to be careful.

"This is such a hassle. Do you know how heavy she was, hanging on my back the whole way?"

"Could it be that you're just too weak?" Roman bluntly exposed him, and sure enough, he saw Bucky's face turn red.

"You bastard Roman, you..."

"Lord Buggy probably won't hold it against me, after all, you are a powerful and important person."

"Haha, since you've said that, I'll forgive you."

"Completely under their thumb," Robin thought to himself.

I initially thought that the older Bucky was in control of the team, but after getting to know him better, I found that Roman was actually the one making all the decisions.

That's fine too. Compared to Bucky with the red nose, Roman clearly has a higher opinion of Robin.

This reassured Robin.
