One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 230 The saying that idiots don't feel pain is unscientific.

Is it the land of flowers?

After going through the process of elimination, Borsalino has set his sights on the most likely possibility.

Based on Roman's consistent speaking habits, lifestyle, life experiences, and unintentionally revealed habits, there is a high probability that she is from the Flower Kingdom.

However, the surname Sil has no local characteristics of the Flower Country.

So it's a pseudonym?

Is there something I don't know?

Borsalino wasn't entirely sure either.

However, he should soon find out Roman's true identity.

……

“Speaking of which, sir, why do you and Mr. Borsalino have a bad relationship?” Gran asked out of curiosity.

She was happy to be able to go out and stretch her muscles, but she didn't expect to run into her superior and Lieutenant General Borsalino.

Gran was also very familiar with this monster.

A top candidate for general.

It's a done deal.

Although he wasn't particularly power-hungry, and could even be described as somewhat lazy, Gran knew the moment they met that Borsalino was like a deep pool, his strength unfathomable.

Although he has a short temper, Grant doesn't want to offend this kind of person unless absolutely necessary.

This has nothing to do with personality; it's simply that the other person's abilities have truly exceeded your expectations.

The oppressive feeling emanating from within was even greater than that of Roman.

Moreover, although the other person's eyes looked lazy, Gran still keenly sensed a shrewdness in them.

Having spent several years in Happy Street, she had seen all sorts of people and had developed a keen eye for them.

Therefore, she did not think Borsalino's judgment was wrong.

However, Borsalino's meeting with his superior Roman was far from harmonious.

The two men exchanged barbs and made sarcastic remarks, their expressions were forced and insincere, and the atmosphere was terrible.

If possible, Grant would have loved to run away at that moment.

That atmosphere made her very uncomfortable.

"It's not good to be a lieutenant general with Borsalino. Do you see any problems with that, Gran?"

Roman responded to Grant's question by asking a question in return.

"It's not that there's anything wrong with it, but it's still very uncomfortable to be targeted by people like that. Because they are so lazy, once they are willing to concentrate on doing something or target someone, it will definitely be a hassle."

That's true.

Grant certainly hit the nail on the head.

Borsalino is not stupid.

He's very shrewd.

He only ever does things that benefit himself.

And she loves to act.

They always appear weak, but when the time is right, they strike immediately.

That is precisely why, once he becomes suspicious of someone, he won't let it go easily.

Moreover, judging from his attitude this morning, he probably already discovered something. Therefore, according to Roman's Observation Haki, he was very confident and even excited.

Based on the information he revealed, he will most likely focus his attention on the West Sea, or even the Flower Kingdom.

If things went according to his own plan, then Borsalino would be his perfect witness.

"He's a smart man, but that's precisely why he's overconfident. But that's fine, I need that too."

Use it when you can.

"What do you want to do now?"

Seeing Roman's expression, Grant felt slightly uneasy.

Roman is really good at stirring things up.

Even the slowest-witted Patch agrees with this.

And often, if their superiors don't explain, they simply don't know what their superiors' intentions are.

Judging from Roman's expression, Grant felt that she was about to cause trouble again.

Seeing the tense look in Gran's eyes, Roman chuckled: "Don't be so nervous. This time we're just carrying out a mission. I want to wait for the result, so I don't have the mind to do anything else."

This answer eased Gran's mind a little, but she was still very curious.

She has always been very curious.

Unfortunately, she figured that even if she begged and pleaded, Roman probably wouldn't tell her.

But even he couldn't figure out Roman's plan.

Their superiors always do things that bring them pleasure alone, rather than sharing it with them.

However, they probably couldn't understand what their superiors found joy in.

"By the way, how's the training for Haki going for you four? Although the effectiveness of learning Haki is indeed measured in years, you know that my expectations for you can't be just average."

Roman started asking about the progress of the four people.

The domineering aura of the four was all personally taught by him.

After all, they were his subordinates.

She only has a few people she can openly order around right now, so she needs to increase their strength to make things easier for herself in the future.

"I've grasped it to a basic level, but I only feel that I'm stronger and my five senses are more acute. As for grasping intangible things and seeing the future, as you said, I don't think I can reach that level for the time being."

"That's not bad. Haki isn't something that's easy to master, but this time your opponent is a pirate from the New World. His Haki skills are definitely not low, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to survive for ten years in the New World without any backing. For your own lives, you need to train hard, understand?"

Roman's tone became much more serious.

"Yes." Seeing Roman's expression, Gran also had to take it seriously.

She could easily distinguish between her superior's serious and normal demeanor.

If you try to joke around when things should be serious, your superiors will really beat you until you question your existence.

And I always felt that her strength had increased.

Whether it's a benefit or not, they seem to have become much more resilient.

Perhaps this is what the officer meant by "the more you beat him, the tougher he gets"?

Roman said that this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Both offensive and defensive capabilities need to be cultivated.

The human brain is large and intelligent, with a rich emotional and nervous system. The side effect of this is that the human response to pain is extremely intense, far exceeding that of other animals.

That's why there's a saying that idiots don't feel pain.

Of course, this statement is unscientific.

However, considering the actual situation, one must adapt to a certain amount of pain in order to make the body stronger.

However, it's important to strike the right balance.

It's definitely not true that the more pain the better.

If you really hurt someone to the point of causing them psychological problems, that's not good.

"Alright, call the three of them, let's go!"

"As ordered."

Snow of the Giant Beast Pirates?

Logically speaking, this person should still be within the scope of their ability to solve the problem.

For some reason, Roman had a feeling that this incident wouldn't be so easy.

It seems there might be some turmoil ahead.

Just in case, I should still make some preparations.
