One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 233 A roundabout way to save the country

The Kingdom of Ingrid.

One of the world's member states.

The climate is mild and rainy all year round, which is suitable for the growth of pasture, so animal husbandry is well developed.

In addition to the urban area, there are also large areas of grassland and forest.

Ordinary people mainly focus on animal husbandry.

Therefore, the milk and beef here are of very good quality.

Perhaps because of the high fat intake, people here, regardless of gender, seem to be quite tall.

Roman felt immense pressure about this fact.

However, after a few minor complaints, she began her search.

Good heavens, she didn't see anyone from the Giant Beast Pirates, or even the Red-Haired Pirates.

That's a real dodge!

In response to this situation, Sly spoke first: "If you ask me, let's just issue a mandatory order to have the naval branch here begin the search. I don't think that colonel will last much longer."

"Agreed." *3

Slay said that Colonel Yubel Randall was the highest-ranking officer stationed in the 589th branch of the Kingdom of Ingrid.

Although he was a colonel, his position was only in the Four Seas Branch, which was far less prestigious than that of the main branch.

Therefore, as a major, Sly didn't need to speak to Randall with excessive deference.

Both sides just need to maintain a polite and courteous attitude.

Unfortunately, both Roman and the group of four had a special identity: recruiters.

Specially invited personnel are both highly sought after and disliked, depending on the individual.

Unfortunately, Yubel Randall was one of the Navy's most resistant to specially invited personnel.

So not only did Roman not give the group of four a friendly look, he couldn't even get into his office.

In his opinion, a brigadier general of Roman's age who could possibly have any real ability must either have made some deal with the higher-ups or be just fooling around.

Although he really wanted to use his abilities to stop the other party from being prejudiced, Roman held back this time.

She has other plans.

"I really wanted to punch him in the head a few times and show him what I'm capable of." Grant's hands trembled with anger whenever he recalled the scene of the meeting.

"I think we should take advantage of him being all alone, beat him up, and rob him of his money. Even though it's just the Four Seas branch, the profits should be substantial," Raven suggested.

“Strip him naked and hang him on the tallest tower here, so he loses all face. Let’s see if he dares to talk like that again.”

After listening to his subordinates, Roman suddenly felt from the bottom of his heart that perhaps Randall's prejudiced views were not wrong.

If I don't speak up and stop them, who knows if they'll actually dare to do it?

Back in their headquarters days, before Roman had incorporated them into his ranks, they were the kind of guys who dared to directly challenge their superiors.

Randall was merely the branch leader, and not even their superior, so he was likely even more unscrupulous.

"Sir, you seem to be thinking about something again. Do you have a better idea to torment him?"

Slay suddenly turned the conversation to Roman.

Sigh, sigh!

Don't talk nonsense. I really didn't mean to do anything so despicable this time.

"Let's leave that for now. We have our own things to do. If Randall really doesn't cooperate, we'll tell headquarters directly, and he'll be punished."

"Are we just going to let it go like this?" Patch looked extremely unwilling.

Roman gave him a deep look: "In any case, the mission is the top priority. You still have a future. Why do you insist on fighting to the death with a branch colonel? I'll ask you one question: besides trying every means to mess with others, do you have any way to get the Giant Beast Pirates to show up?"

That's right, that's the key to the mission now.

Roman had a premonition that this might be the mission that would allow him to gain military power, and if things went smoothly, it would be another achievement.

Why is she going to fight Randall to the death at this point?

You can just report it directly.

Moreover, Randall's lack of cooperation may not necessarily be a bad thing.

Ordering the navy to conduct a large-scale search for pirates was a mixed blessing.

This greatly increases the chances of discovering pirates, but it also makes it easy to alert them.

You should know that there are quite a few pirates who know how to escape.

Especially Snow.

If he really notices even the slightest clue and he runs away, it will be a big problem.

War is fine, but the capture mission is going to be very troublesome.

Therefore, he had to do everything he could to force Snow to confront him directly, rather than run away.

But the key problem is that I can't find him right now.

Because of animal husbandry, there are many grasslands and forests, making it extremely easy to hide people.

Therefore, the best way is to get Snow and his team to show up.

However, although their target was the Red-Haired Pirates, even the Red-Haired Pirates themselves didn't see a single shadow of them.

By the way, the Red-Haired Pirates seem to be even better at escaping than the Beast Pirates.

"Speak up! Weren't you very talkative when you were trying to mess with that branch colonel? Now you're all mute?"

The four remained silent.

"Listen up, everyone. I don't want you all to be reckless. You need to know that you can't be too stupid either."

Sigh, leading a team is really not easy.

It's not easy to outwit and outmaneuver others.

Now that things have come to this, we can only try a roundabout way to achieve our goal.

"Come on, come with me to a place, I think we'll have a solution there."
