One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 388: Opening the Dressrosa Dungeon from the Perspective of Mysterious Rules

The Donquixote Family is a pirate crew that was transformed from a mafia family.

So although they are now pirates, they still retain many characteristics of the mafia.

For example, most people don't call Dover "Captain," but "Young Master."

The title of his highest-ranking officer is also related to the card game most commonly played by gangsters.

They are hearts, clubs, spades, and diamonds.

“The Hearts died in the previous siege, so the remaining top executives are Clubs Torrepol, Spades Pica, and Diamonds Diamante.” To prevent his memory from being wrong, Gran reviewed the Donquixote Family’s information several more times.

This is a necessary preparation.

Since the purpose is to carry out rectification work, it is naturally necessary to understand the situation of these people.

Moreover, the fact that the navy personnel who initially entered the investigation didn't even cross the border suggests that these people certainly wouldn't obediently comply.

The commander's goal is to remove Doflamingo from his position as a Shichibukai, so he needs to do everything possible to find Doflamingo's faults.

If you can't find Doflamingo himself, you can lower your expectations a bit.

Roman often said: No matter how reliable the leader is, it's all the same if the subordinates are unreliable.

Looking at Patch, who was trying hard to memorize the words on the report, Glenn deeply agreed with what he had said.

However, the other three did not laugh at him as before, because they had not fully understood the contents of the papers either.

They now have two sets of documents: one is the official document issued to them by the Navy, and the other is written to them by Roman.

The Navy's data details the composition of Doflamingo's forces within the Dressrosa Kingdom, as well as information on his subordinates.

The content is clear and easy to understand.

But the information written by Roman...

To be honest, they didn't understand it even after a long time.

Moreover, they weren't even sure if this was data.

"It feels like a horror story." That was Sly's summary.

His summary, unusually, received unanimous approval.

The defining characteristic of horror stories is their absurdity, meaning they have weak logical connections.

The story blends reality and fiction.

Therefore, it is difficult to judge the situation using normal logic.

"But even though it's called a horror story, I think it's more like a travel guide." Probably just another example of her morbid fascination.

Fearing that his superiors might overhear, Raven spoke his last words in his mind.

It seems we're almost there.

Seeing that the country was already taking shape, the four-person group began to prepare for their login.

This caused them all to put down the documents they were holding.

In the gentle sea breeze, the pages of the book were turned, revealing the notes on the documents.

It was clearly written above:

Dressrosa is a country full of passion and romance.

There are vast fields of bright sunflowers here.

It has beautiful dancers who are skilled in dancing, and all sorts of magical legends.

Although not wealthy, this place is filled with peace.

But when Doflamingo's pirate crew entered this country, it became dangerous and eerie.

The extreme interplay of light and shadow began to distort the nation.

If you wish to enter this country, please follow these rules:

Rule one: You may move around freely with the toys in this country, but please do not treat them carelessly.

Rule Two: If you see a person and a toy arguing and each sticking to their own version of events, don't hesitate to believe the toy's version.

Rule three: If the items in your hand mysteriously disappear, don't worry, this is normal, don't panic.

Rule four: If someone asks you, "Are you a bad person?", immediately answer, "I am a good person, no matter how you perceive me." This will help you get through difficult times.

Rule 5: There are special toys too. Be careful of the one-legged soldier toy, but you can trust him.

Rule Six: Beautiful roses have thorns. Beware of beautiful women who can dance; she can see through everything about you. If you cannot gain her trust, she will imprison you.

Rule Seven: Once you arrive on the island, your memories may deceive you. If you cannot distinguish between your memories and reality, please ask your toys for help.

Rule eight: Be very careful of little girls who like to eat grapes. Make sure you don't get touched by her, if...

Unfortunately, Rule 8 seems to have been stained with ink, making the following writing illegible.

Then comes the closing remarks.

For your safety, please keep these rules in mind. If you are familiar with these rules, you will be able to have a safe trip.

Have a pleasant journey.

“Those things make people feel uneasy,” Raven said.

"No matter how scary she is, she's probably the scariest one," Gran whispered.

“I agree with that. But the officer must have had a reason for writing it that way; she should already know the facts. So this time we’re going to find evidence again,” Sly speculated.

"The other party is a Shichibukai under the protection of the World Government, so finding evidence probably won't be easy. Moreover, the World Government may also know what Doflamingo did. If we want to find evidence, we'll probably have to look for something the World Government doesn't know."

Patch: "...*——@"

"What is he muttering to himself?" Grant asked, looking at Patch who was muttering to himself.

"Given his intelligence, he most likely didn't remember those rules."

Gran, Patch: "Agreed."
