One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 415 If you want to live, shut up.

Roman's slash was undoubtedly powerful.

Under Roman's attack, the pirate ship began to fall apart as quickly as it was made of paper.

Even from afar, one can sense their fear.

"Oh no, the ship is sinking!"

"Quickly, protect Lady Smoothie, she's an Ability User."

"Report immediately."

The ship broke apart faster than they had anticipated.

Moreover, the waves that followed, each higher than the last, made the despair even more palpable.

"Who is that navy officer?" Smoothie looked at the waves crashing in front of her, cold sweat pouring down her back.

The difference in quality is too great.

That power is definitely not something an ordinary person can possess.

Was I reckless this time?

Regardless of Smoothie's true intentions, the ship was eventually swallowed up by the waves.

The resulting energy fluctuations and spillovers also affected the warship Roman was on.

On the vast, turbulent sea, even the "ironclad" warships swayed violently, and the people on board could feel the terrifying shaking.

What's even more terrifying is the aura emanating from Roman, which is suffocating.

Looking at the pirate ship that had completely disappeared, everyone else swallowed hard.

After exchanging a glance, Grant spoke up: "Sir, should we press our advantage? There should still be remnants."

"No need, we have more important things to do, let them be."

?

This answer...

However, an order is an order.

Everyone present chose to comply.

This doesn't seem to fit Roman's style.

However, Grant and the others didn't think much of it.

After all, Roman's thoughts are notoriously hard to guess.

Roman didn't pay much attention to what other people were thinking.

She knew, of course, that Smoothie was not dead.

Even though she's an ability user, she still has people around her.

It is estimated that she has been rescued by now.

If they make their move now, Smoothie will definitely...

Roman couldn't describe his feelings.

She ultimately decided to let Smoothie go.

Of course, Roman wasn't acting on emotion.

She has already weighed the pros and cons.

Letting Smoothie go would not cause any loss or have any major consequences.

After all, she lost both her wife and her army this time.

Roman was absolutely certain that Smoothie wouldn't dare tell her mother about his defeat.

If Big Mom knew that Smoothie not only lost but also damaged the pirate ship she brought with her, even if Smoothie was considered Charlotte's masterpiece, she would definitely punish her severely.

The children in the family have a deep-seated fear of their mother.

How could Smoothie possibly tell her mother that she had lost?

At most, she would dare to tell Katakuri.

But then the impact of that event would be much smaller.

Katakuri would do anything to suppress this for Smoothie's sake.

That's what he's always done anyway.

This time, I can say that I taught Smoothie a lesson.

If there's a next time, she won't hold back.

……

"Cough cough cough..." Smoothie woke up after breathing fresh air again.

What came into view were the anxious eyes of his two younger sisters.

She was lying on the remaining planks of the ship.

"Smoothie, are you alright?"

"That's great, you were badly injured. I thought..."

His subordinates were also very happy.

If something happens to Smoothie, it will be a big deal.

They managed to crush a pirate ship.

However, if something happens to Smoothie, the Charlotte family will likely be thrown into panic.

Most importantly, Mom knows...

"Alright, quiet down, I'm still alive." Smoothie clearly didn't like being seen in such a weakened state by a group of people.

But she didn't rush to show off.

She was indeed seriously injured.

These people survived entirely because they withstood most of the damage from the navy.

However, the pirate ship was destroyed.

If Mom finds out...

Thinking of Lingling, Smoothie felt a tremor run through her body.

Most likely, Katakuri's brother will have to smooth things over.

“If you want to live, don’t mention this incident again, understand?” Smoothie’s face turned fierce.

"Yes, yes." His subordinates and sisters nodded vigorously.

Even Smoothie, who was highly valued, was afraid of her mother, let alone others.

No one dares to joke about matters that are closely related to their own life.

And just as Roman had predicted.

Even after they capsized Smoothie's pirate ship, their family remained at peace.

But Roman's heart was already "turbulent".

When she saw Smoothie, she had to admit that her heart was pounding.

This wasn't out of fear of Smoothie, but rather an avoidance of her past.

Her mother, brother, sister, younger brother, younger sister, and everything in the Charlotte family were all long-forgotten memories.

Those were very turbulent days.

She wasn't as powerful back then as she is now, so she faced many limitations.

This also forced her to escape in order to live the life she wanted.

but……

It seems that nothing has changed.

Is she really that powerful?

No, not yet.

If that were true, she wouldn't have had such a complicated expression when she saw Smoothie.

Those memories and experiences could not possibly have had no impact on her.

This day was bound to come sooner or later.

You must never underestimate yourself.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Roman's gaze hardened with determination.

I didn't have that determination before, but now am I motivated to master the power of the Ice Crystal Flower and the Sunflower?
