One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 465 Some people always think that direct superiors are more oppressive.

"Mihawk?"

"That Shichibukai?"

"Hawkeye Mihawk?"

"He seems to be a very skilled swordsman."

Mihawk's arrival disrupted their daily training routine.

Especially for the four kids, the Seven Warlords of the Sea were a novelty.

They are government-approved pirates.

Although they are notorious bullies, their abilities are undeniable; they are all strong individuals.

"Ah, sir, it seems they're here for you again."

The other four members were already used to this.

The Shichibukai they are most familiar with is Mihawk.

The reason is simple: he is the Shichibukai who visits Roman the most frequently.

Mihawk is a sword fanatic.

He enjoys dueling with all sorts of swordsmen to hone his skills.

Unfortunately, Roman was one of his "good rivals".

Roman also deeply resented this.

"He's come at just the right time. Would you like to go and meet him?"

This time, Roman didn't show a bad expression; instead, he looked at the four little ones very kindly.

"May I?"

"Meeting those strong individuals is a good opportunity to broaden your horizons, especially Kuina. Although I hate to admit it, Hawkeye is indeed a true swordsman, both in strength and spirit. You can learn from him. You all come with me."

"Huh?" Guina was confused by Roman's statement.

Why did the Black Dragon General call Mihawk a true swordsman?

But when it came to swordsmen, even though Kuina was already covered in wounds, she immediately stood up.

This is her lifelong passion.

Considering the rarity of the situation, the other three people also rushed over.

The group of four remained at the end.

"That's a bit strange. The commander seems rather happy that Mihawk is here this time?" Raven looked at Roman with some doubt.

"It seems so," Patch realized belatedly.

“Mostly for them, no, I should say for Kuina.” Gran said, looking at Sly.

Of the four, Kuina is the most pure swordswoman.

He is also the only one without superpowers.

In terms of positioning, Mihawk is indeed a suitable target for Guina to follow.

“It’s obvious. The commander probably wants to groom Kuina so she can compete with Mihawk,” Sly said coldly.

"That should be the case, but speaking of which, you really went all out."

“You’re the least qualified to say that, Grant,” Sly said dismissively.

Both Guina and Ian were badly ravaged, equally badly so.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t notice.” Grant retorted in kind to Sly’s rebuttal.

"I understand, it's just one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, right?" Lavin said lazily.

"Huh, what are you talking about?" Patchwerk was a little confused.

It seems they're talking about things they don't know.

The three of them already knew about this matter.

For the four boys, the four of them played the role of strict discipline.

Roman, on the other hand, plays the role of loving and gentle.

After all, judging from Roman's current strength, they are all too inexperienced.

But if you want to improve your strength quickly, you have to be ruthless.

A superior is someone who wants results.

So it's impossible that they were just playing house with those four little ones.

So they really did take some serious action.

Of course, Patch was just having fun.

However, it can be considered a case of making the best of a bad situation.

Under their strictness, Roman, who was good at guiding and educating, was more likely to win people's hearts.

However, unbeknownst to them, all of this was tacitly approved and promoted by their superiors.

This is probably why most people feel that their direct superiors are difficult to get along with, while senior leaders are kind and approachable.

They always believe that their direct superiors are more likely to exploit them than their superiors.

It's simply because their oppression is more covert and more cunning.

Because he doesn't act proactively, but instead commands others to do things.

The reason is that simple.

Of course, they had no objection to Roman's arrangements.

Anyway, for them, it was just a matter of convenience.

"The commander must have chosen them for their own purposes, but only time will tell what those purposes are."

"Ah, I'm really curious. But even after being with her for so long, I still sometimes don't understand what she's thinking."

"Sigh, I don't want to think about it anymore. We'll just do whatever she says. There's no point in thinking about it."

"Hey, hurry up, they've already disappeared from sight."

Completely unable to keep up with the train of thought, Patch simply gave up trying to think.

He now also wants to see the standoff between Mihawk and their superior.

"Here he comes, here he comes. Honestly, sometimes I envy this kid's foolishness. This guy who doesn't have any worries will probably have a good night's sleep tonight," Raven sighed.

"agree."
