One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 190 What is your attitude towards the World Government?

"Hey, Tsuru-neechan, is it really necessary to let such a young child know all this? Even though the other party is a pirate, their methods aren't exactly honorable," Gion said, a little worried.

Of course, she wasn't unaware of He's good intentions.

Given equal abilities, the lower one's bottom line and the more ruthless one's methods, the greater the results one can achieve.

Since the opponent is an unethical pirate, there is no need to use any honorable means.

Although the Navy is an organization that leans towards justice, it also has flaws that harbor corruption and malpractice.

However, the shady aspects of the navy also have their place; nothing can be expected to be completely pure.

As the chief of staff, Sister He naturally has a lot to shoulder.

Giving up and compromising are both indispensable steps.

“If she were a girl with some talent and intelligence, I would show her that the future is full of light. But, Zhiyuan, she has unlimited potential, just like you. So she can’t just stand on flowers and yearn for the sun. As a leader in the future, what she will see will be closely related to evil. More often than not, she will even have to let evil grow for the sake of her goals.”

He watched Roman's departing figure and sighed heavily.

What she has always longed for is pure justice.

But that was just a beautiful dream, almost a fantasy.

The navy is a righteous organization and an army of order, but it is by no means a pure force.

And it was a fact that I only accepted much later.

Even so, she still kept pure justice in her office.

However, any ideal or organization must have power.

She was regarded as a representative of female naval personnel because of her talent, and in order to enable more female naval personnel to play a role, she also began to cultivate skills beyond combat capabilities for female naval personnel.

As it turns out, the effect was indeed quite good.

Even if it can't be considered aboveboard, the results it achieves are indeed immediate.

Speaking of which, Stussy probably has some connection with the World Government.

Otherwise, his planting of people in the entertainment district wouldn't have remained so quiet.

World Government...

No matter how you look at it, Crane felt that the World Government was a behemoth.

Unfortunately, those who possess the world do not have the world in their hearts.

Despite possessing everything, their excessive arrogance has made them look down on everyone else in the world.

However, it is undeniable that their existence provided the foundation for order and the existence of the navy.

Even with this self-comfort, Crane felt her spirit was corrupted whenever she thought about the actions of the World Government.

Garp feigned ignorance in response to this choice, while he and Sengoku chose to obey and maintain this somewhat corrupt order.

So what about the next generation?

Currently, Sakazuki's mind is only on dealing with pirates, and his attitude towards the World Government is unclear. However, he is a person who follows orders, and as long as the World Government does not cross his bottom line, he will probably do the same thing as Sengoku.

Borsalino is a typical opportunist, always swaying whichever way the wind blows. Although he has no loyalty to the World Government, he does follow orders without any clear bias.

Kuzan genuinely has grievances against the World Government, but perhaps knowing he is powerless to change things, he has become lazy.

So what attitude will you hold towards world governments in the future?

Looking at the whimsical floral cake that Roman had left behind, Crane's eyes filled with tenderness.

I hope you can keep that childlike innocence for a long time.

……

They say old ginger is spicier, and Staff Officer He is truly remarkable.

So, should we retract her statement that she didn't want to leave? Roman is now living a life like a god again.

Staff Officer He rewards children who study hard.

Moreover, her teaching style is not harsh; she is very gentle and patient.

At this moment, Roman is enjoying a long-awaited massage and daily body conditioning.

As a naval officer, scars are an essential part of life.

Roman had scars of varying degrees on her shoulders, back, thighs, arms, and abdomen, and Lieutenant General Tsuru arranged for her to undergo scar removal treatment.

It also features a softening effect on the hands.

Roman, who uses swords year-round, has quite a few calluses on his hands, and softening treatment can make those calluses thinner.

This makes it difficult for people to notice that she is a swordsman.

Roman also understood why Crane's appearance was so normal in old age compared to other women; she must have taken good care of herself.

First, there's an aromatherapy massage, then medicated ointment is applied, followed by a head massage, food is served, and psychological counseling is provided.

Wow, you guys really know how to enjoy life!

Looking at He's skin, which was nearly sixty years old but had hardly any wrinkles, Roman realized that if you take care of yourself like this and enjoy life, it's hard to grow old.

My mother overeats every day and keeps having children. It's a blessing from God that she can still be beautiful until her forties.

If she had the same awareness as Lieutenant General Tsuru, having white hair and a youthful appearance wouldn't be a dream.

There's also Zhiyuan.

Although she looks very young, she always refers to Tsuru as her sister, which makes Roman doubt Gion's real age.

She had even tried to subtly inquire about it.

However, this problem has been conveniently overlooked by Gion.

However, even someone as capable as Zhiyuan has someone who gives her a real headache, namely Jiaji.

Both men are future general candidates and are currently renowned senior military officers, so it's impossible for them not to be familiar with each other.

But it's just too familiar.

Every few days, Roman would hear Kake confessing his love for Ai Gion and proposing to her.

As for the outcome, it's not hard to guess.

After all, Gion was a great beauty, and Kake does look quite like someone else.

In such a situation, being rejected seems perfectly natural.

Roman, as a spectator, found the farce that could unfold every day quite entertaining.

Unbeknownst to her, the turbulent power within her began to stabilize, gradually transforming into her true power.

Thanks to her recuperation, her old injuries were fully healed, and her physical condition improved.

The domineering aura seemed to know that the host's body and mood were in an excellent state, so it began to circulate through her body, increasing her physical strength.

After realizing this, Roman consciously began to let the domineering aura flow through her limbs and bones, filling her body with it.

Since the domineering aura gained through plunder will wander around and be difficult to control.

So I might as well let my domineering aura flow through me and get used to the flow of this domineering aura.

If all goes well, I will gradually adapt, shorten the time it takes to plunder the next source of power, and at the same time, I will become stronger.
