One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 613: First to Enter the New Threshold

The power of idols is immense.

If an idol can emerge in the navy, it will greatly benefit both the navy's image and subsequent recruitment efforts.

Currently, the scales are steadily tipping in Roman's favor.

This also gave rise to power.

The power of the doves is slowly rising.

There is another radiation effect brought about by Roman.

That is, the proportion of women joining the Navy has begun to rise.

It has been on the rise for the past seven years.

Although the overall number of men and women still differs greatly.

However, a seven-year increase rate is indeed a rare sight in the navy.

And the further Roman can go in the future, the more obvious this change will become.

This is a good thing.

Initially, the female marines almost all huddled together around Tsuru for warmth and support.

This is to protect one's rights.

However, the appearance of Roman easily tipped the scales.

As a woman herself, Gion is pleased with this change.

This is a good start.

She was also very curious.

What makes Roman's choice so unusual?

"I don't think you mind..."

"It's amazing. Even though we haven't seen each other for so long, I understood what you were thinking right away."

Seeing Gion's eager expression, Roman immediately understood.

This is to see how deep their knowledge is.

It's clear that Gion is in high spirits.

Then Roman wouldn't be disappointed.

After all, it had been many years since they last met, and Roman was very happy.

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle."

"That would be best; they're still just buds, so be gentle with them."

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Gion's promises are still credible.

So Roman also stepped aside.

Then, Gion walked towards the four little ones with a smile.

She brandished her dagger.

……

"How to say?"

Looking at the four little ones who had fallen, Roman asked directly.

It's definitely one-sided.

as expected.

They won't last long under Gion's control.

This is the normal phenomenon.

Gion, after all, was a navy that had fought bloody battles for at least twenty years.

At the same time, in the original work, she was a candidate for general.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

Dealing with a group of children whose average age is no more than twenty is not difficult.

Her combat experience was also gained through battles on the battlefield.

"Not bad, right?"

Gion gave a factual evaluation.

"But there was one child who was special."

It goes without saying that the child she was referring to was Guina.

"Is it because her swordsmanship is so pure, right?"

How could a swordsman like Gion possibly overlook Kuina?

If we have to distinguish them, Ein and Roman belong to the same type of swordsman.

They all utilize a combination of Devil Fruit abilities and swordsmanship, making it easy to switch between them.

In short, it's about choosing a weapon to become stronger.

Kuina is very similar to Gion.

Their swordsmanship is closer to pure.

However, Kuina's swordsmanship is very simple.

Gion's fighting style is very flashy.

However, their styles are essentially the same.

“It’s not just that; I can feel this child’s love for the sword. In the clash with her, I can hear the music of the weapon.”

Gion's face showed ecstasy.

He was lost in his own thoughts.

She had certainly seen powerful swordsmen before.

Mihawk and Roman are among the best in this field.

But Gion felt only disgust for Mihawk.

After all, her experience of "sparring" with Mihawk was not pleasant.

Although Roman was powerful, Gion could not sense his passion for swordsmanship.

This is also her regret.

Of course, no matter what I think, it won't affect their strength.

However, Gion wanted to go even further.

Do you know about the Black Knife?

"Of course, as a swordsman, I have no reason not to know."

The black sword is an object that exists only in legends.

Currently, only Ryoma is recorded.

The older black swordsmen seem to be impossible to ascertain due to the passage of time.

Therefore, the existence of the Black Knife can only be discovered through everyone's exploration.

But in this era, there are always some special individuals who are the first to step through new doors.

"I met Mihawk before I came back this time."

As if suddenly remembering something, Gion's expression became somewhat heavy.
