One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 431 The Significance of the First Battle of Ed Hayward

How significant was the Battle of Ed Hayward?

From a macro-historical perspective, that was a prerequisite for the arrival of the Great Pirate Era.

After this battle, the Roger Pirates replaced the Flying Pirates and became the dominant force.

In just a few years, Roger's pirate crew seemed to have a cheat code running through their entire journey, reaching a position that others wouldn't even dare to dream of.

The birth of the Pirate King further elevated Roger to the position of king.

Although for the people living in the Great Pirate Era, being born into this era was a tragedy.

However, from the perspective of historical development, the Great Pirate Era will be an important juncture that influences the history of the last hundred years.

The root of all this can be traced back to the Battle of Eddward.

However, for the Golden Lion, the Battle of Eddwar was not so prestigious.

Because that was his defeat.

He was clearly just one step away from his dream.

But Roger rejected him.

The sudden storm destroyed most of his foundation.

If Roger had agreed to cooperate with him, he would be the one ruling the world now.

Upon seeing that sentence, the golden lion felt insulted.

What exactly does that D want to know about Roger?

What makes him, a ghost who doesn't even dare to show himself, have the confidence to replace Roger?

This is an insult not only to oneself, but also to that man.

Extreme anger drove the Golden Lion to the brink of rage, making him unable to resist the urge to vent.

Conqueror's Haki.

"Ah ah ah."

"I feel so dizzy, Captain."

The Golden Lion's rage caused his Conqueror's Haki to erupt in full force.

Not only on the ship, but even the wildly growing plants below felt it.

Perhaps realizing how powerful their opponent was, the plants all began to shrink back in fear.

"Captain, stop the ship!" Seeing more and more people fainting, the frightened crew members could only muster their courage to remind him.

"Find that ghost, that D, right now!" the Golden Lion roared.

For powerful individuals like them, insults are absolutely unacceptable.

And D was insulting him.

……

Sure enough, she was very angry.

Feeling the suffocating air, Roman knew it was the power of Conqueror's Haki.

As expected of the Golden Lion.

That's quite impressive, that's a powerful presence.

Bucky has fainted.

Bar and Barbara, feeling dizzy, lay on Roman's hands.

Is he so angry that he's activated Conqueror's Haki?

Sure enough, his words had hit a nerve with the Golden Lion.

And Roger was also dragged into it.

He must have felt insulted.

He truly admired Roger.

That's true, otherwise he wouldn't have been so impulsive as to run to Marineford, lose both his legs, and then escape back.

It seems that the name Roger is a good starting point.

But if this guy really got angry like this because of Roger...

"Could he be a toxic fan?" Roman thought to himself.

……

The jokes about the enraged golden lion are not to be taken lightly.

As the captain, Golden Lion has absolute authority over his subordinates.

None of the crew members dared to utter a sound.

Those who have followed the Golden Lion for many years know that the Golden Lion's orders are absolute.

He will do anything he wants, no matter how absurd it may sound.

As crew members, they had to do everything they could to complete the task.

Given the current situation, even the gorilla next to the golden lion doesn't dare to wander around recklessly, but instead works with the other crew members.

The captain ordered that they find the infiltrator, D, at all costs and bring him to their side.

Some of the crew members didn't think it was a good idea.

Since the other party dared to do this, they must have been well-prepared.

Perhaps provoking the captain was also for a purpose.

And just look at how wildly those plants are growing; it shows he has some tricks up his sleeve.

Was this something that was planned from the beginning?

Although I don't think that person can beat their captain, they aren't the captain.

I just hope everything goes well.

The orders of the prestigious Golden Lion were carried out well from top to bottom.

From the ship, the other islands that were taken over and flown through the air were all explored from every angle, including the treacherous dense forests.

Meanwhile, the golden lion in the cabin was waiting for news.

After his outburst of rage, he calmed down.

Reason has regained the upper hand.

The return of reason also gave him a strange feeling.

Why did this person write such a sentence?

However, this shows that he has some understanding of himself.

That's quite unexpected.

After all, Rocks was almost forgotten after Roger's era arrived.

I am no exception.

Does anyone still remember this old relic?

So, did this person come specifically to find me?

What was the purpose of that?

Although he gave the order to find the other party in a fit of rage, Golden Lion felt that the chances of actually finding them were slim.

If he has a way of deceiving people with Observation Haki, then his bunch of idiots probably have no way to control him.

Thinking this, the Golden Lion picked up the bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

But at that moment, his room was pushed open.

"Captain, we've spotted that suspicious D."

what?
