One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 362: Whoever accepts this mission is doomed.

Ah, how wonderful my life will be?

After this mission, I'll definitely be the most famous person around.

Those seniors who used their seniority to swagger in front of him could only obediently bow their heads in front of him this time.

Even the Five Elders take this mission very seriously.

The one who completed the task wasn't anyone else, but himself!

Foz-Fur was already lost in wonderful daydreams about the future.

As a member of the CP organization, he was proud.

As ambitious members of an organization, they are often dissatisfied with their current positions.

The same applies to Fu.

Lucci, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, captured almost everyone's attention.

Most people regarded him as the number one genius.

They believe he will be the most talented couple to appear once in 800 years.

Short-sighted.

In what way can he compare to me?

He was clearly the most talented genius when it came to the couple.

But none of that matters anymore.

He had completed his mission, and once he returned to Mary Geoise, no one would dare to look down on him anymore.

Looking at the boxes on the ship, Fu smiled contentedly.

The World Government's mission for them this time was to bring back a Devil Fruit.

To be honest, compared to previous missions, Fu felt that this mission was extremely simple.

All you need to do is return the fruit.

As for the process, Freud found it far too easy.

He was sailing on the high seas in a ship bearing the flag of the World Government.

Who would be so foolish as to attack a World Government ship?

That's something only an idiot would do.

Is it possible for me to lose to an idiot?

No, of course not!!!

If there really are such idiots, they'd be nice as a diversion.

We can't let him get too bored.

Just as Fu was thinking this, he noticed that the ship was inexplicably starting to stir.

what happened?

They're all trained people, so how could they cause a riot?

However, Frey soon learned the source of the riot.

It was a pirate ship with a skull and crossbones flag, the red hair on the flag bright and vivid.

……

Without a doubt, if Shanks knew that the World Government had found the Nika Devil Fruit, the probability of him trying to steal it would be 100%.

It would be good if organizations like the World Government could humiliate them.

Roman certainly didn't feel he had any obligation to remind them.

This task is a classic example of someone who's doomed if they take it on.

No one would have imagined that someone would be so audacious as to attack a World Government ship.

Moreover, no one would have imagined that a single mission failure would ruin their future.

Although the World Government's flag itself is a deterrent, there will always be people in this world who are not afraid of threats, or people with very powerful backgrounds, who can make the World Government turn a blind eye to their rebellion.

And Freud was clearly a pawn discarded in this struggle, losing miserably.

In such a situation, without a God's-eye view, it is almost impossible to turn the tide.

Unless Frye can beat Shanks.

However, the probability is extremely low.

Roman didn't think Shanks was a fool for attacking the ship without any preparation.

Therefore, it was destined that Nika's Devil Fruit would be stolen, and it was also destined that Fu would be defeated.

However, Shanks' attempt to steal the Nika Devil fruit will not be without its challenges.

……

How is this possible? This guy is ridiculously strong.

He had already collapsed, drenched in sweat, and the pain prevented him from getting up.

From his perspective, all he could see was Shanks's floor-length cloak.

Is it impossible to stop?

Driven by resentment, Fu could only fall into a coma due to the pain.

Shanks, within his sight, walked to the box.

Is this it?

An opportunity to change the world.

Towards a New Era...

Suddenly, a pain in my left shoulder swept through my entire body.

This feeling...

This allowed Shanks to release the box in time, and the next second, the plant inside burst out of its shell, followed by a violent explosion.

In just a few seconds, the box disappeared completely.

This……

"You dodged all of that? Shanks, I'm a little surprised. It seems you're quite skilled."

That sound...

This was an expected outcome.

Everyone else immediately became alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Sure enough, from high above the ship's eaves, they saw Roman looking down at them.

"But how did you manage to dodge it? I thought you'd hold on to it and not let go, and then your only right hand would be useless." Roman made no attempt to hide his malice.

What is the best course of action against an enemy who has lost his left hand?

Like the hellish joke of "kicking the good leg of a cripple," the obvious solution is to find a way to destroy his right hand.

That's why I tampered with that box.

But it didn't work.

Is it because of Observation Haki that you can see the future?

Should we be grateful?

It wasn't what Roman had expected.

Shanks knew how to avoid the dangers there.

Because he felt pain.

I lost the position of my left hand and was in excruciating pain.

At that moment, it was as if we were sensing each other.

He let go of her hand.

It also made him realize that she was right there.
