One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 434 The Path He Wants to Take Runs Opposite to Yours

It's as if they've learned something incredible.

D is the nemesis of that bunch of trash.

But D is not a specific person.

According to this guy, D is a kind of will.

"Roger can also be considered one of the successors of D."

You mean Roger too?

"Yes, strictly speaking, I am his junior, because I inherited part of his will and thus gained power. And this power is something that even the World Government cannot control. That's why they are afraid of D. For this reason, they even removed the D from Captain Roger's name."

"Then what brings someone like you to me?" Golden Lion asked a crucial question.

If what he says is true, and D is already the nemesis of those trash gods, then as his successor, he must also be quite powerful.

There should have been other companions behind him.

After all, he himself said that he was only one of the heirs.

But why would someone like that come looking for me?

She should have had other options.

Despite his doubts, the Golden Lion had to admit that he was very interested in what he was saying.

D.

The Will of D.

The power of D.

D... Come to think of it, there seems to be a D in Rocks' name too.

"Because I did not inherit the complete will."

"What?" The other party's words became mysterious again.

“Inheriting the Will of D is not an easy thing. If we are not careful, the power will devour us. And our fate will be the same as that of the people you know who ate the powers of two Devil Fruits.”

After saying this, the Tin Man lifted his cloak, revealing an arm underneath.

Seeing the state of his arm, Golden Lion probably understood the drawback of not being able to fully control this power.

His hands were like the dry, brown bark of an old tree that was about to die, devoid of any life.

"Moreover, the symptoms are getting worse, and this power is still devouring my body. The power of the Will of D is not so easily inherited."

After the Golden Lion saw the full view of his hand, the Tin Man took it back.

"It's not that easy, but you mean there are also people who have fully inherited the power of D, right?"

"Yes. One of them is Captain Roger, the person I know best who perfectly inherited the power. Even your captain, Rocks, failed. Although the side effects weren't severe, his power wasn't complete either."

"You actually know about this?" The Golden Lion's eyes narrowed slightly.

Did Rocks also fail?

He'd never heard of anything like the Will of D before.

But this is probably something he intentionally concealed.

That makes sense, though, how could that guy possibly tell them such a secret?

Their pirate crew doesn't care about unity or solidarity.

Whether it was Rocks or themselves, the most important thing in their eyes was themselves, not their partners.

But is it because he possesses the power of D that he wants to overthrow the World Government?

I initially thought he was just ambitious.

But he failed because of...

As he thought of Roger and Garp, Shiki's eyes widened suddenly.

Was he defeated by the other two Ds?

"You seem to know nothing about this. It seems that Rocks did not pass on his will to you. But he must have had his reasons. After all, the price of such power... failure would be disastrous."

"Ha, that guy has no merciful thoughts whatsoever. But I want to ask you, aren't the heirs of D united? And yet you come looking for me?"

"No, of course not. D is free will, and the successors are the inheritors of free will, not the executors of will. They execute their own will, and we all have different ideas. This also leads to a lack of harmony within us."

interesting.

Even the seasoned Golden Lion felt a deeper curiosity about the D that the person before him was talking about.

If such a power truly exists, then the Draft Green that has been studied all along seems to be nothing special.

Even if it really is terrifying, so what? What haven't I seen?

From the day he became a pirate, he has been constantly experiencing the taste of risk.

And what he said about D does indeed have a captivating charm.

"So what is your purpose?"

"To become the master of the world."

"That's the kind of thinking you have? It's ironic that Roger would acknowledge you for having such thoughts."

"He yearns for freedom, so he will not force anyone to inherit his will."

"Tsk, that's enough, that's why he's so repulsive."

The golden lion's eyebrows furrowed again.

"But in the end, I am only an incomplete successor. In order to achieve my goal, I ask for your help."

Do I look like someone who enjoys helping others?

"No, but I see in your eyes an ambition to overturn everything, and that is also a kind of power."

Ha ha ha ha! ! !

The golden lion laughed wildly again.

That's interesting, really interesting.

After Roger left, I finally started to find the world interesting again.

Is this the person you chose?

It seems the path he wants to take is the opposite of yours.
