One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 490 Okay, okay, I've become the clown.

The crow was exhausted.

Manipulating dust into objects is probably the most powerful means he can currently employ.

Mori is also injured.

The power it can exert is limited.

If the battle drags on a little longer, it will end in a great victory for us.

All three of them were well aware of this fact.

Even though he knew this, Roman felt that neither Mori nor Raven would admit to surrendering, and that his words were merely a formality.

Fighting to the very last moment is what they truly desire...

"Oh dear, it seems like we can't win. Should we surrender?!" Mori sighed first.

Roman: "..."

Okay, I take that back.

“No need.” This time, the crow didn’t glare at him angrily; instead, it looked at Roman very calmly.

“Black Dragon, you’re right. Our fight isn’t a duel; it’s all about winning or losing, so any means are acceptable.”

"You mean you have more tricks up your sleeve? Fine! Let me see."

Since they have something to do, let's take a look. Anyway...

No, there really is a big job!

Roman never expected that an important figure would appear on this battlefield.

In retrospect, Roman could never forget the biting cold wind and those eyes that seemed like still water.

That was the look in the eyes of someone who had betrayed everything before and was resolutely going against the grain.

At the same time, he is also fighting against this world.

The leader of the revolutionary army—Dragon.

He appeared on the battlefield looking so fresh and vibrant.

This was the first time Roman had ever seen a dragon in person.

Even in the freezing cold, the intensity in his eyes was undeniable.

People can feel like laughing when they are in a state of extreme speechlessness.

Because of the dragon's appearance, Roman fell into an eerie silence in order to suppress his emotions.

OK OK.

This time, I've made a fool of myself.

Conflicts with strategic objectives do not require concern about the means employed.

It's perfectly normal to win with superior numbers.

The world is not a duel arena.

You are only allowed to have 1v1 duels.

More often than not, using power to intimidate others is also a viable option.

Otherwise, what's the point of joining an organization?

Roman has always believed this.

However, things aren't so wonderful when you actually encounter it.

Roman and the dragon can be allies with mutual interests who never meet.

However, in this situation, they are undeniably enemies.

"This really surprises me. Even the leader of the revolutionary army is here. I have indeed miscalculated."

Compared to Roman's somber demeanor, Raven and Morrie were undoubtedly much more at ease.

The appearance of the dragon will completely reverse the decline.

"Looks like you guys had a tough fight just now."

Dragon wasn't in a hurry to deal with his opponent, nor did he pay much attention to Roman. Instead, he focused on Mori and Raven.

"I'm so sorry to have troubled you to come all this way. I thought that with Aokiji not here, we would have a chance of winning in a two-on-one situation, but it seems that's not going to work."

To be fair, crows are quite rational.

He notified Long immediately.

Shortly after Roman first revealed his true form.

The crow quickly reported it.

It concerns the safety of so many comrades; the crow cannot possibly take on everything.

This is not a lack of self-confidence, but a form of caution.

Without caution, their revolutionary army could not have survived to this day.

As it turns out, caution can save lives and turn the tide.

If the dragon doesn't appear today, I'm afraid we'll really be wiped out by the black dragon.

Then, the crow looked at Roman.

"Aokiji probably didn't even come, otherwise you wouldn't be the only one stopping us. Come to think of it, we were prejudiced and thought that only Aokiji could freeze the sea. But since you can do it by yourself, and Aokiji hasn't shown up, I think there's no need to say more."

"And you deliberately blocked us here by yourself to minimize the losses, but now that things have come to this, there's no need for that anymore."

"It seems you truly deserve your position as army commander." Roman's words indirectly confirmed that Raven's guess was correct.

"In that case, are you still going to persist? This is a battle with no chance of winning. Even you must have expended a lot of energy by now. But I respect you very much; you genuinely don't want other innocent people to get hurt, which is why you chose this place."

"So, Black Dragon, now that you have seen the sorrow here and know the suffering of the world, then please make way. You are the only one who will fall here."

"Ha...you guys are so...naive and adorable!!! Do you really think that having more people guarantees a win?"

Roman did not deny that what they said made sense.

but……

"Who told you I didn't have any help?"

After a brief silence and a brief emotional fluctuation, Roman finally returned to her usual self.

That nonchalant demeanor.

Such words and actions made Crow and Morrie somewhat uneasy.

Only the dragon seemed to have guessed something.

Roman then threw the signal flare high into the air.

The dazzling fireworks were still eye-catching even during the day.

It was just a giant donut.

If the revolutionary army is organized, don't we have one too?

It's your turn to make your appearance.

At this very moment, a man on a naval warship was fast asleep.

There was only one marine nearby.

Upon seeing the giant donut, he hurriedly shook the person next to him awake.

"Mr. Garp, the signal from Lieutenant General Black Dragon has arrived."
