One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 462 What makes you most uncomfortable?

The weather is nice today; it's perfect for hosting guests.

Roman patted the small white flower at the entrance of his yard, reminding it that guests would be coming today.

Therefore, it is necessary to fulfill the role of "guide" at that time.

After giving instructions to the housekeeper at the door, she took a break from her busy schedule and waited for them to arrive.

……

Is this Lieutenant General Black Dragon's house?

Anyone who sees this house for the first time will be amazed.

Judging from the outside, it looks like a long-abandoned house.

But the greenery surrounding them is full of vitality.

The contrast makes people even more eager to find out more.

Guina, Ian, Binz, and Drake all arrived at Roman's house on time.

However, because of this strange sight, they did not dare to go forward for the time being.

Something felt off.

It makes one feel a chill run down their spine.

While they were still hesitant, the small white flowers sprouted from the soil.

This display of force truly surprised everyone.

But before they could react, the little white flower made a move to follow them, and then swaggered toward the door.

Wherever they went, the plants all retreated, leaving a path.

“Looks like we can go in now.” Drake went in first.

This is Marineford.

If he doesn't even dare to leave this place, then he's come for nothing.

The other three followed closely behind.

However, the deeper Binz went, the more incredible it seemed to him as he mastered the power of the Abundant Fruit.

These plants do not seem to be exceptionally resilient.

Moreover, his intuition told him that these things were extremely dangerous, making him feel an irresistible urge to draw his sword.

And it wasn't just Binz; everyone else felt the same way.

It was such a short distance, yet it made you feel drenched in sweat.

Unease, fear.

It felt as if I were fish on a chopping board.

Fortunately, the road eventually comes to an end.

They finally reached the door.

With trepidation, they opened the door...

"I have prepared a feast. I made you come so early in the morning. You must not have had a proper breakfast. Please enjoy."

Ugh?

All the gloom and fear vanished like smoke the moment the door was opened.

Instead, they were greeted by Roman's gentle smile and a sumptuous meal.

The interior was also quite different from what they had imagined.

Every plant, tree, piece of furniture, and decoration inside exudes a warm and cozy feeling.

The atmosphere inside also became gentler.

“Um… Lieutenant General, we…” Ain wanted to say something, but Roman said to wait until they finished eating.

Although it was strange, they couldn't possibly ignore what Roman said.

But they were all filled with doubt.

Normally, following proper procedures, Roman would meet them in a more formal setting.

But Roman also met with them at her home, which just didn't feel right.

And why does it feel colder the more I eat?

It's clearly a great place with delicious food.

But I couldn't really enjoy it.

"It should suit your taste, right?" Roman asked with a smile as he watched the four of them devour the food in a flash.

"Yes, it's delicious."

"Very well, now I have my question."

Ugh?

Is it that sudden?

"Guina, Ion, Binz, and Drake, listen carefully to my question."

"Yes," the four people whose names were called replied immediately.

"Can you tell me, what part of this place makes you feel most uncomfortable?"

That's right.

This place is very uncomfortable.

The reason is simple: this place is full of dangerous things.

Even when they are indoors and feel safe, there is still a restlessness in their hearts.

It seemed to be constantly shouting that it was about to escape.

However, the source of this unease cannot be found.

They even thought they were just nervous.

It's safe here.

No, this place is dangerous.

Although the indoor space looks much more normal, there are still all sorts of oddly shaped plants.

They are entrenched in various places.

What makes them uncomfortable?

No, no, that's not right?

There are even more terrifying things.

The four little ones turned their gaze to other things.

That's what they perceive as a greater threat.

Flowers that are like ice.

Golden, shimmering flowers.

And flowers that bloom with flames?

It is them.

They disguise themselves with their beautiful appearance.

Still not right.

This is all just the surface.

The source of the danger is...

The four of them exchanged glances, and they all saw the answer in each other's eyes.

"You are the most dangerous one."

All four pointed at Roman.

That's right, Roman is someone who exudes a dangerous aura from beginning to end.

"That's quite an unexpected answer. I thought you'd be distracted by something else. It seems you're all very perceptive." With that, Roman adjusted his posture slightly.

But this very moment brought relief to the four of them, as if the oppression had vanished.

Even the air felt fresher.

That's right, the most terrifying thing can only be the black dragon.

Without a doubt, she is the most powerful person here.

All the others are just wrong answers.

"Then let's begin the second test!"
