One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 412 The Pink I Don't Want to See

That's right, that's Roman's real purpose.

Her main purpose in coming to Dressrosa was to visit the Tontatta tribe.

Once Roman found a way to deal with the Donquixote Family led by Doflamingo, it was a piece of cake.

Doflamingo himself is not a threat.

In fact, she could have easily persuaded Dresrosa Tsurugi.

After all, the old lady's methods were far more sophisticated than hers.

But for her own purposes, she naturally had to come here despite the trouble.

The Dongtata tribe, also known as the Little People tribe.

Their average height is only the size of an average human finger.

But such a petty person has a unique talent.

According to legend, there is no plant that their clan cannot cultivate.

Roman took this very seriously.

Doflamingo used Caesar's "Smlie" to create plants that could grow artificial Devil Fruits.

The "gardeners" who worked on the "farm" were the Dongdada clan.

From this perspective, they do indeed possess amazing talent.

As the user of the Mori-Mori Fruit, I can't just turn a blind eye, can I?

For their kind, caring for and cultivating plants is an innate talent, far better than being a half-baked amateur like myself.

Moreover, considering that he might have to cooperate with the Dongtata tribe for a long time, it wouldn't hurt for him to make a small contribution first.

However, judging from their expressions, they seemed to agree very happily.

That's good. Let's take them back and let them work hard for us.

Hahahaha!!!

Perhaps because they were too excited but had to suppress it, the group of four found Roman's expression quite strange.

Seemingly to help Roman return to normal, Grant began to speak: "Sir, there was a boy staring at you just now, but he's gone now. Is that alright? That kid seemed a bit off."

"Don't worry about such trivial matters, Gran."

Roman knew, of course, who Grant was referring to.

Moreover, this person met and spoke with Violet after he had given her his blessings.

That boy was Luo.

Luo has grown a lot.

Moreover, Roman did not overlook his missing left ear.

However, he did not have white spots on his body, and it seemed that he had recovered.

Roman was still surprised to see him in Dressrosa.

Until she saw the black veil that Lorna had placed in her hand.

She recognized him.

That was her blessing to Rosinante at the time.

Roman did not ask Ro how he recognized him despite his drastically changed appearance.

As a doctor, he naturally has his own methods.

Moreover, people in this world always have their own keen senses.

Luo was simply expressing his gratitude to himself once again.

He also told her about himself and Rosinante.

Just like with aid, Rosinandi gave the fruits of the surgery to Rosinandi.

And before she died, she sent the black veil she was wearing to Luo.

She added that it was a gift from a friend and that she hoped to return it to her if they met again someday.

Then, Luo handed the items to Roman.

Roman, upon receiving the black veil, was momentarily lost in memories.

She spent too little time with Rosinante.

So few that there are almost no memories to speak of.

Her contact with Rosinante was merely a passing fancy coupled with her own selfish desires.

but……

As expected, I am not as pure as they are.

Roman didn't say much about Luo.

Eating the Op-Op Fruit itself means that Law must oppose the World Government.

"Grow well, or you might die by my hand."

"I know. I will continue to get stronger, and thank you, really." Luo shed tears again.

Then he turned and left.

However, Roman knew that Luo lingered for a while before leaving.

He is still too weak to be in sight.

With Doflamingo captured, a weight has been lifted from his shoulders.

This time, I should be quite grateful to myself.

It seems I can use this opportunity to make him repay the favor later.

Roman still believed in the power of the Op-Op Fruit user when they grew up.

……

The Dressrosa incident is over, and Roman and the other naval personnel need to return as soon as possible.

After all, she still had many things to report.

Even if you have a legitimate reason for your actions, there will always be troubles that you need to resolve as soon as possible.

Roman was a little disappointed that he couldn't witness Violet's coronation in person.

After all, it was a new beginning, the birth of a new hope.

Regardless of how she reigns in the future, the excitement of the people at that moment was genuine.

That hope was real.

Her accession to the throne was the beginning of a new hope.

Unbeknownst to Roman, when Violet was crowned, she did not choose a golden crown to display majesty, nor a pearl crown to display simplicity. Under the incomprehension of the crowd, she firmly chose the flower crown that Roman had made of flower petals.

Violet, wearing a floral crown, wore a radiant smile at her coronation, her eyes sparkling with hope.

……

For some reason, on the way back, Roman felt that the boundless sea ahead seemed to be filled with ominous signs.

Is a storm on the way?

However, the professional navigators found no problems, and Roman felt that he might be worrying unnecessarily.

But then she saw something she didn't want to see at all.

It was a black flag, still the skull and crossbones flag that marked its identity, but the bright pink head on it was shocking.
