One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 226 I noticed your weakness

Wow, what a raging fire!

Such flames are truly frightening.

Even from a distance, Roman could feel the intense heat.

Smoker, who is closer, must be suffering even more.

At this moment, raging flames are fiercely battling the forest, and the howling winds are adding to the power of the flames, causing them to grow ever stronger.

If nothing unexpected happens, this place will become a breeding ground for fire, and a destructive feast will begin.

Under such circumstances, the dragon's threat is not so great compared to the temperature of the flames, because at such high temperatures, only Sakazuki could probably penetrate them.

Of course, Roman wasn't just watching the show.

She was also observing the dragon's abilities.

First, it can unleash a wide-ranging dragon breath, which is hot and covers a large area. Moreover, this is a rainforest with many dead branches and leaves, so even a small spark can ignite a raging fire. The environment here will provide a continuous source of "fertilizer" for the flames.

Moreover, the harmful gases released after the flames burn pose a threat to the human respiratory system.

So you either have to be able to fly like it, or fight it from a distance.

However, once its wings flap, the resulting gale is no less than a Category 12 typhoon. If measured, it would probably be even more outrageous. Although Smoker can also fly using his Devil Fruit ability, he was blown away in an instant, and getting close to him is a pipe dream.

Then there's its size. With such a massive body, Roman has no doubt that its strength is far beyond anyone's imagination.

A massive physique is almost a symbol of power.

However, they also make them easy targets.

In other words, this dragon is essentially a fire and wind magic warrior combined with a powerful berserker.

Cultivating both magic and martial arts.

They should not be underestimated.

Dealing with this creature is a bit troublesome.

I might end up getting seriously injured myself.

"I said, are you done yet?"

Seeing Roman seemingly lost in thought in the distance, Smoker panicked a little.

Because he is now truly experiencing what it means to face death at breakneck speed. Just as Roman said, it's incredibly thrilling.

His heart seemed to be pounding in his throat, ready to leap out at any moment.

From the moment he appeared, the dragon focused almost all its attention on him.

Despite its large size, it is quite agile.

The two, one human and one dragon, have already put on a flying competition in the air; it's a true life-or-death contest.

It must have been tough for Smoker.

Such matches can only be held at noon, because something bad will happen if it happens at any time.

But she had to do it.

If Smoker is in danger, I can still help him, but if I am in danger, Smoker probably won't be able to help me.

Therefore, Smoker had to act first, while Roman would observe first.

First of all, when dealing with a flying creature, the first thing a person with a brain should do is disable its wings.

Swordsmen are a profession that was created to cut down all things.

The saying goes that everything can be cut down, even the wings of a dragon.

The domineering aura of the longsword began to emanate continuously.

Over the years, she has been trying to devour other people's domineering aura.

Although I have some indigestion, the human body can adapt to many things.

In the process of continuous growth, human potential exceeds imagination.

She quickly became adept at swallowing after initially experiencing difficulty.

Having just absorbed Lillian's domineering aura, she felt quite good, her whole body brimming with power. Although she was still a little restless, it was nothing serious.

At the same time, Roman also used Observation Haki to its fullest extent.

She was searching for the most vulnerable spot on the dragon's wings.

That's right, it's where the wings connect to the muscles—that's the weakness.

Even if it's possible to fly, it doesn't change the fact that the place is very fragile.

Shattering Slash - Blood Falls.

A powerful flying slash shot out, unstoppable, heading straight for the dragon's body.

The advantage of its massive size lies in its strength, but its excessive size also makes it an ideal target. Armed groups with dense firepower love to have such a big guy.

The brutal and terrifying attack struck the dragon's broad back, and in an instant, Roman heard a terrifying dragon roar.

Anger, annoyance, pain—all sorts of emotions spread throughout the island via the wind.

Smoker had to cover his ears with his hands.

It seems she's really angry, and in a lot of pain.

But compared to Mom's strange noises, this is nothing!

Although the dragon's roar made Roman's nerves tighten for a moment, he quickly recovered.

She gripped the knife in her hand again.

Take advantage of your weakness, and I'll kill you.

The dragon's roar did not stop Roman; instead, he took advantage of the opening and fired at the dragon again.

This time, the slash collided solidly with the flesh, and the dragon's wings were damaged.

At this moment, all of the dragon's attention was completely focused on this fearless challenger.

At this moment, Smoker had escaped the dragon's clutches, but seeing that the dragon's target had become Roman, he began to worry again.

However, in such a situation, Smoker's role is minimal.

Smoke doesn't have the ability to directly harm the opponent; its main purpose is to restrain and confuse them before capturing them.

However, the size of the creature before him rendered his attacks almost ineffective, and he could not help Roman.

Upon seeing Roman's figure, the dragon began to roar madly.

The dragon's roar.

This time, it wasn't just the penetrating power of the sound; the gust of wind exhaled from the mouth caused another disaster on the island.

With its wings injured, it actually used its roar to create wind.

At this moment, Roman had no choice but to directly confront the power of the gale.

She was almost blown over by the air pressure.

The only way to stabilize his body was by plunging his sword into the ground.

A powerful life force and a massive body.

Like the giants, the life force within them seemed boundless.

This is the secret to the dragon's longevity.

Their life level is far beyond that of ordinary humans, which is an incredible advantage of the game's race.

However, precisely because of this, in order to maintain such a huge body, they also need to eat a lot, otherwise they are prone to becoming weak.

So, having just awakened from your slumber, you're eager to deal with us as soon as possible, right?

After all, you're tired too!

Indeed, Roman sensed the dragon's weakness.

At this moment, it is irritable, but it is only outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

Disturbed from its long slumber and lacking energy, it is extremely weak at this moment.

Dragon's Breath is also an attack skill that consumes stamina.

If it could be described as something more like simply using physical strength to crush these humans.

But if this continues, it will only lead to a stalemate.

Roman also had to break the deadlock.
