One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 305 I am Whitey Bay

“I did seriously injure Whitebeard, and Whitebeard will certainly be furious, but I don’t think we need to worry too much.”

Compared to the Warring States period, Roman's expression was not as solemn.

"Roman, are you serious?"

Although Sengoku didn't think Roman was the type to talk nonsense, he knew Whitebeard well. How could Whitebeard ignore Whitey Bay's crippling situation?

"Do you know Waidi Bay?" Roman suddenly asked.

what?

"Because I made a promise with Whitey Bay..."

……

“Waidibe didn’t tell us her plans, and her crew members are keeping quiet. It seems she probably doesn’t want you to know about this.”

Marco's expression also turned somewhat somber.

Whitey Bay was her senior; when she was an intern, Whitey Bay had taken care of her many times.

But it is precisely because of this that he understands Wai Die Bay.

She didn't want to talk about it; she must have her own reasons.

Moreover, as a veteran crew member who followed Whitebeard, Whitey Bay is similar to Whitebeard in many ways, and he is also one of the most stubborn in terms of personality.

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard fell silent, a silence that was unusual for him.

His anger dissipated, and he simply let out a heavy sigh.

He understood Whittyby's personality.

She naturally had her own ideas.

As a father, I should perhaps respect that.

If your daughter really doesn't want to talk about it, what's the point of forcing her?

But who could have done this to Waidibe?

……

"I traded the lives of her crew for her silence. After all, I didn't continue to track them when they retreated. Of course, I also considered that continuing the conflict with them would have consequences I couldn't bear."

The conflict with the pirate crew of the Emperor of the Sea is no joke. If you don't want it to escalate into a war, you'd better know when to stop.

"You made this deal with pirates?" Sengoku was a little surprised.

Sure enough, Roman did something the navy wouldn't normally do.

But this kind of transaction...

Generally speaking, this cannot be considered a qualified transaction.

Sengoku knew all too well what kind of people most pirates were.

His more than forty years of naval service made him very clear about what those scoundrels were like.

Perhaps there are those who value their comrades and are loyal, but ultimately they are all part of an organization under a powerful regime.

As long as the captain is alive, the pirate crew is not completely destroyed.

The companion is merely the gecko's tail.

If it's broken, just get a new one.

Therefore, not every captain cherishes his crew.

However, the Whitebeard Pirates are indeed a special case among pirates.

While treasuring one's comrades is a moral virtue, it's a problem for the Navy.

Yes, it's really troublesome.

Being afraid to act for fear of inadvertently is always infuriating.

The younger one got beaten up, and then the older one showed up – it's undoubtedly infuriating.

But Roman actually took advantage of their feelings.

This method...

"It's clear you didn't act entirely out of loyalty, but how can you guarantee Whiteybe won't change her mind later?"

Even though they were members of the Whitebeard Pirates, it was impossible for them to be completely of the same mind and personality as Whitebeard.

By doing this, Roman essentially handed the initiative over to Waidibe.

Whitebeard would then have complete control over Roman's life and death.

Roman's talent is indeed monstrous, but compared to Whitebeard now, it's definitely not enough.

If Waidibe doesn't keep his promise, then Roman will be in danger.

“If she doesn’t keep her promise, it’s a good thing in a way, Marshal Sengoku,” Roman replied, offering a very different answer.

good thing?

She actually said such a dangerous outcome was a good thing?

"Tell me your thoughts, Roman."

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, we cannot only look at the Whitebeard Pirates from our own perspective, but we must also look at the Navy from the Whitebeard Pirates' perspective."

"Tell me more about it," Zhan Guo said, intrigued.

"The truth is quite simple: do you think the Navy is stronger, or the Whitebeard Pirates?"

……

It hurts so much! It really hurts!!

Moreover, it seems that the left eye is beyond repair.

Whitebeard lay in bed, his face pale.

Fortunately, she seemed to have regained feeling in her left foot. She could feel a clear pain.

this is a good news.

The fact that she still has sensation means that her left leg has been saved and she won't become a cripple.

Marco's treatment was quite effective.

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the once arrogant intern has become a reliable first division captain.

Furthermore, new forces have emerged within the navy.

He looks energetic and vibrant, but he's too ruthless and cunning.

Time really flies. There are so many new monsters out there.

Although Whiteybe was in her prime, she had a strange feeling that she might be getting old.

It seems I'm still not qualified.

I've always had a smooth and easy life following my father, which has caused me to forget many things.

This time, that navy girl was actually testing me, testing the Whitebeard Pirates.

But she was risking her life to find an answer.

That's really scary.

But I am Whitey Bay, and I will not fall for your tricks. My choices will not let you have your way, nor will they be affected by you.
