One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 380 Behold my silver tongue!

"You seem quite relaxed; it seems the Science Department has been reorganized very well?"

Roman didn't hold back when it came to this visitor, immediately pointing out the other person's sore spot.

As expected, this caused Kizaru's expression to pause slightly.

Kizaru could not be entirely absolved of responsibility for Caesar's betrayal.

As a result, the World Government leadership launched a year-long overhaul of the Science Department.

As the head of the Science Department, Kizaru is naturally extremely busy.

The top brass of the World Government are even more powerful than the strategists in the General Staff.

Just receiving them was exhausting enough for Kizaru.

Not to mention the details of the rectification.

Although it's impossible for one of his generals to do all these things, it's still a hassle nonetheless.

So Kizaru probably had a rather uncomfortable year.

Roman noticed this as well.

"Although I'm a bit busy, I think I should still have time to have a cup of tea here." Kizaru, being an old hand, quickly composed himself and tapped the table with his hand.

"Please have some," Roman said, immediately pouring tea.

"Everyone says the tea in your office is very special, and it seems they're right." Just from taking a whiff, Kizaru felt refreshed.

He is also a tea enthusiast, and he could tell that the tea was indeed of good quality.

As a user of the Mori-Mori Fruit, Roman also enjoys using his abilities to develop living plants.

High-quality tea seems to be the finished product of Roman.

"You're too kind," Roman said, using the act of drinking tea to mask his true feelings.

"But I wonder what brings you here? It can't just be for tea, can it? Perhaps it's best to be frank."

"Well, you don't need to worry about it so much. I just heard that you put up that plaque."

Then, their eyes were drawn to the plaque above the sofa.

Above it were bold, flowing characters: Rational Justice.

"I didn't expect you to hold such a serious view of justice."

Emmm...that's because I still have a sense of shame.

Strictly speaking, the justice she followed should be considered utilitarian justice.

However, what you show to others doesn't have to be what you think in your heart.

Of course, she couldn't write highly controversial phrases like "lazy justice" or "ambiguous justice" like Kizaru and Aokiji.

This would undoubtedly expose oneself.

Moreover, she didn't want to be criticized for writing overly bizarre stories about justice.

"That depends on who you're comparing me to. Compared to you, I'm definitely the real deal," Roman retorted, still sharp-tongued.

Still so sharp-tongued.

"I've heard that Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Sakazuki seem quite unhappy about Doflamingo becoming a Shichibukai. And you seem to have a way to take down Doflamingo. So what do you plan to do?"

"Your question this time is quite direct. It seems you don't want him to become a Shichibukai either."

Doflamingo is a problem.

Although there are many in the Navy who could easily defeat him in terms of strength, his bloodline is a major problem.

Although the other naval forces were unaware of the situation, the fact that the World Government so readily agreed to appoint Doflamingo as a Shichibukai, even bypassing the naval forces to announce it directly, revealed something different about the decision.

"After all, I don't want him to have his hands in the science department."

In Kizaru's view, Doflamingo's mind was far too active.

It's not a good thing for someone like that to be a Shichibukai.

Moreover...

It seems that Kizaru really got a severe scolding from the World Government this time.

Roman had already guessed about 70-80% of what Kizaru looked like.

Although the main responsibility lies with Akainu, Kizaru naturally didn't fare well either because of this incident.

She had also heard rumors that Kizaru had been caught by the World Government for his mistakes in this incident, and that he would have to cooperate with Vegapunk of the Science Department to conduct some experiments.

And when this is linked to the "pacifists" that emerged later, the logical chain becomes complete.

It seems he's really angry this time.

He was managing the science department perfectly well, but Doflamingo's intervention caused him to stumble.

If it weren't for the circumstances, I probably would have been taught a lesson by Kizaru, since I was the one who unveiled the secret.

"I'm still very touched that you didn't say you were going to scold me."

"But how did you find out, Roman?" Although a long time had passed, Kizaru still couldn't figure it out.

When exactly did Roman begin to focus his attention on the Ministry of Science and the G5 Fortress, catching them completely off guard?

Moreover, morally speaking, even though they belong to different factions, few people can find fault with them.

It was because of her that the mistake was stopped.

Moreover, to say that she deliberately targeted them seems a bit far-fetched.

"I'd be happy to answer your question, but in return, you'll need to pay me. Would you be willing to do that?"

reward?

"Don't worry, it won't be too excessive," Roman assured her.

This time, her eyes looked very sincere.

Although it might seem unwise to agree rashly without knowing the answer, Kizaru didn't think it mattered much.

As a naval admiral, he had so much to offer.

Even if Roman's demands were a bit excessive, he didn't see it as a problem.

"can."

"Aren't you going to ask about specifics this time?"

"Didn't you say it wasn't excessive? Since you said so, I had no choice but to believe you."

"It seems you finally believe me. But to agree so easily, it seems you're really curious."

If we really need to explain it properly, she focused her attention on the Science Department and G5 Fortress because of the reverse reasoning method.

future.

The Beasts Pirates are very strong → The Beasts Pirates have the help of Devil Fruits → The creator of artificial Devil Fruits is Caesar → Caesar's boss is Doflamingo.

just now.

Caesar's boss is the World Government.

It is known that Caesar will betray them in the future.

It is known that Doflamingo wants to get involved with Kaido.

So the two of them must have gotten together later on.

And since the man who was the most tight-lipped was leaking information everywhere, I basically deduced the whole thing.

In short: complete information, one formula, and you're done.

But we need to give a reason that will convince Kizaru...
