One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 395 Finding That Special Toy

Vice Admiral Black Dragon.

A renowned genius in the Navy.

I heard that she joined the army at a very young age, so for her safety, she has remained unknown.

However, her battle with Kaido made her famous.

Although it wasn't a solo operation, considering that Black Dragon was under 20 years old at the time, it was still quite astonishing.

"Is the troublesome person finally coming?"

The black dragon will come sooner or later.

Doflamingo was prepared for this.

However, he did not expect that before the Black Dragon even arrived, the other marines had already seen through the biggest secret in the matter.

But they had no evidence.

However, what if something happens to the sugar...?

"Violet, continue to monitor them. Report back immediately if they make any moves."

If they really go too far, then we have to get rid of them before the Black Dragon arrives on the island.

Even if the black dragon gets angry, he still has the World Government as his backer.

Does the world government really know nothing about its own actions?

Perhaps they know, perhaps they don't, but what does it matter?

They never cared about the lives of those lowly people.

Otherwise, why would they have agreed to let him become a Shichibukai?

As long as they don't expose all of this to the light of day, they're happy to play dumb.

However, Heilong's attitude...

This is indeed a tricky point.

I heard that she had the chance to escape, but she refused to give up Gion and Kakei, so she chose to fight head-on.

Unexpectedly, Kaido was actually injured.

If she were a little more emotional, and knew her subordinates better...

Although it's unclear what that guy's exact strength is, it's enough to turn Dressrosa upside down.

However strong she may be, she can never be as tough as the World Government.

Doflamingo was confident in this.

……

"Speaking of which, do you guys have any feelings about it?"

"Of course I can feel it, it's everywhere."

"There are far more people being monitored than before."

"So they also found out that we've discovered them?"

"Considering that most people in this family have all sorts of strange abilities, it's not surprising. There might even be some who are good at gathering intelligence. They can turn people into toys, so it's not surprising that they have other abilities as well."

“I bet there’s something wrong with that dance troupe that dances around here every day.”

"But it's really strange that the commander has remained completely out of contact. Does she really trust us?"

Grant began to recall what had happened before they set foot in Dressrosa.

Roman suddenly said that he would not be coming to Dressrosa for the time being.

However, there is certainly another intention behind this.

Roman now fully understands this place.

In other words, her investigation had already begun before they arrived.

“She definitely has her own ideas. Let’s just follow her orders. Trying to figure out what she’s thinking is really troublesome.” Raven was still a bit listless.

“I said, why don’t we just fight them? Since we’re all full of bad intentions, we might as well be direct,” Patch started arguing again.

However, his reaction was ignored once again.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are involved with the World Government, so it would definitely be unwise for them to fight each other.

“If you were talking about assassinations, I would actually be somewhat pleased,” Gran said, already starting to mock.

"What, you're going to keep thinking like that? If we really wanted to uncover the truth here, would Doflamingo just stand by and watch? It's only a matter of time before we have to take action against them." Patch looked at Gran with a mocking expression.

Although Patch's idea is a bit extreme, it does make sense.

If we really want to uncover the truth, then a fight will most likely have to break out.

But who makes the first move is a big question.

In fact, if he could, Sly wouldn't even want to be the "leader".

After all, there are many implications involved.

At the very least, the reason must be legitimate.

"The key is still the person with the ability to turn them into toys. Find her, get her to undo the transformation, and restore the people who have been turned into toys. That would be a victory without a fight. Once they're restored, they'll naturally tell others, causing public outrage, and then we can make our move," Sly concluded.

“But this is the power of a nation. Is it feasible when the commander is not present?” Raven felt there was a great risk involved.

Of course, if Roman were here now, it would be a completely different story.

"Emm...we can't always rely on her. She seems to have already given us hints. By the way, have you noticed a one-legged toy? The officer said it's special." Gran felt that it wasn't quite time to call for help yet.

As a member of the Navy, now that the mission has begun, it's best not to place all your hopes on others.

Roman was their superior, but he wasn't responsible for doing what they were supposed to do.

Then we might as well turn our attention to other forces.

"Well, speaking of which, I'm also quite concerned about why the rules state that he's a special case."

"Finding it might give us the answer."

"That's true, there might be an unexpected surprise."

In the current situation, finding even one more source of power to deal with Doflamingo could be of great help in the battles to come.
