One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 214 Accidents are always frequent visitors

The more Roman interacted with these aquatic creatures, the more incredible they seemed to him.

For them, whether it's the relatively peaceful seas, the terrifying Grand Line, or the New World like a meat grinder, all are areas where they can operate.

Replenishing food is also very simple. Mermaids usually eat seaweed during their voyages, while fishmen catch and eat small fish.

It would be perfectly acceptable to let them wander around the New World with Black's bounty on their head.

All we need to do is find the pirate ship.

According to Roman's calculations, even if Black's bounty were double what it is now, he should still be covered in dust and grime upon entering the New World.

Perhaps they're already planning to return to the amusement park.

Therefore, waiting patiently at the border between the New World and the Red Line is also a viable strategy.

The fishmen responded remarkably quickly to this task.

Just like Roman thought, studying architecture was driving them crazy.

Even Ah Long didn't care about the consequences and responded enthusiastically.

Look how enthusiastic he is! Roman couldn't be polite anymore, so he gave the fishmen the bounty on Black and asked them to find his whereabouts.

But she also gave the fishmen something else.

Smoker, who had witnessed almost everything Roman did, was utterly perplexed: "Isn't what you're doing abusing your power?"

But Roman's answer was very serious: "We usually call this behavior the rational use of social resources."

Smoker: "..."

……

The new world is a place only demons can live in.

This is Blake's true feeling.

In the first half of the Grand Line, he was always in his element. Although he was a little short in terms of bounty, which prevented him from getting the title of Supernova, his voyages during that time were so impressive that even his arrogant peers had to bow down to him.

He didn't rise to this position just because he did bad things.

He has a real track record to his name.

To be honest, he has already killed several naval officers, and last week he killed the vicious Ilsa Anna, nicknamed "Poison Ivy," a pirate with a bounty of 80 million.

This battle made him a household name.

During that time, Blake experienced what it meant to be the center of attention.

Almost all pirates would avoid him when they saw him.

The time is right, so it's time to head to the New World that all pirates yearn for.

However, the harsh reality quickly shattered Blake's pride.

This place is practically a monster's paradise.

The pirates here are more ruthless, more powerful, and have no bottom line. Moreover, the pirates who can gain a place here are those who have mastered that kind of domineering aura.

For someone like me, there are ways out, but it's impossible for me to be a captain again.

Instead, he needs to lead his subordinates to surrender to a powerful pirate crew.

Although it's just hearsay, it seems that the current Sea Emperors didn't start out as their own rulers, but rather as crew members of someone else.

In other words, this is a normal path of development.

Very few people can become the ruler of the New World and become one of the Five Emperors, just like Luffy.

But Blake was still a little conflicted.

He was certainly unwilling to hand over the captain's position like that; who would willingly be subordinate to someone else?

But he was even more unwilling to leave the new world empty-handed.

……

"Ah, Boss A-Long, that should be the ship!" Xiao Ba suddenly pointed excitedly at the pirate ship in the distance, waving his arms wildly, making it look a bit like a chaotic dance.

Ah Long looked at it several times, and sure enough, it was that pirate flag.

"But what does that brat want with him? It's just about capturing pirates of this caliber. I don't think she needs to get involved."

Now Arlong understands Roman's prowess. Having spent so long at Marine Headquarters, he knows there are many capable people in the Navy. Although he is very unwilling, perhaps, as she said, there are also quite a few strong humans.

Ah Long couldn't even remember the last time he looked down on humans.

Since moving into Marineford, he has been extremely busy every day.

There are even exams?! LOL, there's no way we can finish them all!

Failing the exam and being called out by name every time was incredibly embarrassing.

Now, being able to leave temporarily and breathe in some fresh air free of the smell of books is such a blessing.

According to Roman, they could simply throw this onto their ship and then send a fishman to monitor the operation.

However, Ah Long couldn't resist the urge to touch his hands.

Although they sometimes carry out missions, now that a target has appeared, how can they not give it a try?

……

“Bru bru…”

"Well, Aaron, I heard you found Blake. Did you do what I asked you to do?"

For some reason, Roman felt uneasy. Although the book's "baptism" had improved Aaron's personality compared to the original story, or rather, he was too tired to discriminate anymore, Roman was still a little worried. For example, he might do something unnecessary.

"It's just throwing that bottle at them, right? Do you think we can't do something that's so simple?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just a cautious person. In that case, I'll trouble one of you to follow me. I'll add five points to your exam score."

"very."

"no problem."

Ah Long hung up the phone in a good mood because he had received satisfactory payment.

But Xiao Ba hesitated slightly: "Is this really a good idea? Instructor Roman didn't say we could attack this ship!"

That's right, Arlong and his crew used their special skills to damage Black's pirate ship.

They not only studied ship hull knowledge, but also had done this kind of thing many times during missions, so it was second nature to them.

Then, taking advantage of the chaos, they threw the seemingly magnificent bottle onto the pirates who were forced into the small boat.

"We only attacked the ship, we didn't attack the pirates on board. Besides, we are now the Navy. We can easily crush pirate ships, let alone attack them, even in the water."

"That makes sense."

……

I still feel a little uneasy.

Roman, for some reason, began to pace uneasily.

Ah Long's personality might lead him to do unnecessary things. Although their report stated that they had successfully delivered the item to Blake, they probably didn't do anything extra.

Caution is the boat.

Let's double-check the situation.

But before Roman could confirm with the Den Den Mushi again, her Den Den Mushi rang once more.

"Um, it seems Blake has been arrested..."

"what?"
