One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 464 The Ability to Evolve

The moment the door opened, Kuina, Ian, Binz, and Drake were already trapped in the illusion they had created for them.

It seems I've become quite adept at using the nectar fragrance produced by the nectar flower.

Since obtaining the evolution potion researched by the Golden Lion team, her abilities have also been enhanced.

The most obvious manifestation of this is that her plants have become more ferocious and terrifying.

And the illusions created by her plants are even more realistic.

She had once used a similar method to trap Tigra in a phantom where humans and fish-men lived in harmony.

However, the change in scene was too abrupt, and Tiger's strong will allowed him to quickly see through the illusion and regain his senses.

But now, my abilities are not what they used to be.

Her illusions could be made more realistic based on the actual situation.

It can instantly cause the victim to fall into a coma, and in the constant dreaming, it blurs the boundary between illusion and reality.

If something can make people believe that the moment is real, then even if it's fake, it will appear as real in their minds.

Because they knew their own power, they truly felt pain when they were attacked by themselves.

Because they believe that this is the truth.

Isn't it a bit much to use them as guinea pigs?

Forget it, whose test is easy?

This is all for their training and development.

……

"Looks like you've all come to your senses." Finally, after confirming the effects of his ability, Roman deactivated it.

The four people who woke up from the illusory dream were clearly confused about the situation.

After learning the truth from Roman, they were all astonished and their mouths dropped open.

Is this even possible?

So from the very beginning, they were completely outmaneuvered by the Black Dragon.

"Honestly, I never expected this."

"You're ridiculously strong."

"No wonder you told us to take action right here."

"Does that mean it won't pass?"

Suddenly, Drake asked the crucial question.

This immediately made everyone tense.

"It didn't pass, but I didn't say there would be a punishment for failing," Roman suddenly changed the subject.

Ugh?

"In fact, this is not a test that will affect the rating."

Given Roman's current skill level, unless they hold back, the four of them could defeat her before they could even see her face clearly.

So she didn't intend for them to complete the test in the first place.

"To be honest, you are all really excellent."

"Isn't this a form of comfort?"

“I’m not lying. You guys are definitely better than my four direct subordinates when we first met.”

Roman was not lying about this.

Sly, Glenn, Raven, and Patch immediately wanted to take her down.

Even though the four of them had already fought before that.

If she didn't actually have some ability, she really wouldn't have been able to control them.

Moreover, at that time, they did not recognize the gap between themselves and the enemy before they made their move.

But the four of them did it.

This courtyard, this house, is filled with dangerous things.

However, they were not fooled and pointed out together that she was the most terrifying thing here.

Moreover, they are very decisive.

After realizing the disparity in strength between the two sides, they quickly understood the importance of teamwork within seconds.

They each offered opportunities to the other.

That kind of teamwork is something those four people could never learn.

Really?

Kuina is the one among the four who idolizes the Black Dragon the most, so her eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Yes. You have done enough."

……

"Sir, aren't you being a little too nice to them?"

"What do you mean we're far behind them? Let them all come at me. I refuse to believe I can't handle these little brats."

The group of four originally thought that Roman's test would be more intense.

But I never expected it to end like this.

After all, from their perspective, the four younger generation members only showed up at the house for a short while before leaving unscathed.

They weren't like that back then.

Roman: "It seems you're not entirely satisfied. But that's alright, you'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future."

……

Terrible.

After leaving the house, the four younger members were all drenched in sweat.

Perhaps it was a deception from the very beginning.

But after they left the house, it was as if the tablecloth had been lifted.

Only then did they truly discover the deadly danger within.

There are many plants here that can kill them instantly.

"Even though it's an illusion, my body is still in excruciating pain." Binz stretched his limbs, but still felt extremely uncomfortable.

According to Roman, it was because he was so deeply deceived that his brain was still unable to accept that it was an illusion.

“After all, it’s the power of a black dragon. Five years ago, when she was only 17, she was already a black dragon,” Kuina added.

"Without a doubt, she is an absolute powerhouse." That kind of power could actually break through his own body. Since he obtained the power of the dragon, he has hardly suffered such pain.

"Well, I wanted to test my abilities, but it had no effect at all. It was like my abilities were being blocked," Ein said.

Her Devil Fruit ability can, at its maximum, allow a person to revert to 12 years earlier.

However, that's the ideal situation.

In fact, most of the time, she can only bring people back to their state three or four years ago.

If the opponent is Black Dragon...

I estimate that it will be the limit in a few months.

"In short, we should be considered acquainted now. It must be fate."

"Well, even though I already know, let me still formally introduce myself."

"I am Kuina."

"My name is Ian."

"I am Binz."

“I am X Drake.”

"Please continue to guide me in the future!" x4
