One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 457 It's unnecessary to keep this secret.

"Giving Mr. Aokiji some new world missions at this time is an opportunity for him to perfectly evade Professor Zephyr. I think he is more eager than anyone else right now, Marshal."

"So it really was your idea."

Faced with Roman's words, even the usually serious Sengoku almost lost his composure.

Of course, the Warring States period was satisfied with this matter.

Now, pirates are rampaging through the New World.

There are still many things to deal with in that place.

In any case, we must send someone who can be of use.

In the past, the Warring States period would not have chosen Aokiji in such a situation.

After all, that guy can just decide not to go.

If you push him too hard, he'll disappear at the drop of a hat.

But this time, he probably couldn't have gotten what he wanted.

"Exactly, is it really okay to treat Aokiji like this?"

That's what they said, but Sengoku was already laughing so hard that his wrinkles were barely concealed.

"After all, he still needs to do something practical. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Mr. Aokiji is indeed too lax."

Roman's answer at this moment was very frank.

Such scheming could not be hidden from the people of the Warring States period.

"It seems you've thought it all through, but your choice really surprised me."

At the time, in order to compensate Roman, he gave Roman the power to decide whether or not the navy could remain in Marineford.

The Warring States period clearly understood that it is impossible for people to be without selfishness.

Since it's compensation, there's no harm in being generous.

Moreover, to be fair, Roman deserves this compensation.

She has indeed made great contributions.

Therefore, the Warring States period granted Roman the privilege of "legally" increasing the power of the doves.

However, unexpectedly, Roman divided this power.

Do you think there's anything wrong with what I did?

"No, of course not, your decision is of great significance to the Navy."

"Isn't that enough? Fleet Admiral Sengoku, most of the time an organization doesn't need one outstanding individual; a flourishing of talent is the best. I'm a member of the dove faction, but I always remember that I'm also a member of the Navy." Roman's expression was serious and earnest.

"Hahaha, Sengoku, Aokiji really got off easy by letting a kid like that work for him."

Before Sengoku could react to Roman's words, Garp spoke first.

However, this time Garp didn't come here to drink tea or steal snacks.

This time, he rarely has anything important to do.

Yes, he also wants to mentor a few students.

However, this rare serious matter was naturally rejected by the Warring States period.

After all, it's true that Garp has the title of a naval hero, but it's also undeniably unreliable.

He also frequently makes statements such as "Celestial Dragons are trash".

Therefore, Sengoku dared not send Garp.

He was also worried that the new recruits would be disillusioned after witnessing Garp's true nature.

Some might even develop the misconception that "all people in the navy are like this."

Therefore, the Warring States period refused very decisively.

However, Garp is also stubborn.

When the Warring States period disagreed, he stubbornly refused to leave.

Then, during his time working in the Warring States period, he constantly harassed the Warring States.

Just as the Warring States period was about to break out, Roman arrived.

Roman felt there was no need to shy away from discussing Karp.

Those naval heroes know countless secrets; what I'm doing is so trivial, it's pointless to keep it from them.

That's why the above conversation took place.

Sengoku was also moved, but he suppressed his emotions and kept a straight face at Garp.

"Alright, Garp, act like a naval hero, won't you? It's precisely because of your unreliable nature that I don't trust you... Wait, what are you holding?"

Suddenly, Sengoku noticed the paper bag that Garp had already torn open in his hand.

"Ah, these are your treasured senbei, aren't they? Speaking of which, Sengoku, you're so stingy, hiding something like this away." With that, Garp devoured them all in one go.

"Garp, you bastard!!!" Then, golden light emanated from Sengoku's body.

That is the "Victorious Fighting Buddha" form of the famous naval admiral.

Realizing something was wrong, Roman's feet seemed to be coated with honey, and he vanished from the office in just a second.

The two elderly people, whose combined age exceeds one century, then started fighting again.

……

After the office was in complete disarray, Sengoku's rationality finally regained its footing.

Today, Sengoku's evaluation of Roman has risen to a new level.

She is simply the hope for the future of the Navy.

There may still be debate about who the next admiral will be.

However, the next admiral should be Roman.

She already has the qualifications.

Her broad perspective makes her fully capable of shouldering this responsibility.

As for the rest...

"Hey, I'm talking to Sengoku, you..."

"Shut up, Garp, don't call me when I'm thinking!"

Sengoku, who had finally managed to calm down, immediately lost his composure when facing Garp.

"Since you became a marshal, why have you become more and more petty?"

endure.

Don't bother arguing with this old guy; you'll only end up making yourself angry.

"Hmm, there's one more rice cracker, so I'll..."

"Stop, Garp, that's mine."

As golden light flashed again in the room, the battle between the two continued.
