One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 356 I'm Going to Turn You All Over

Roman, Sly, Glenn, Raven, and Patch were being interrogated while seated.

They should have been standing.

Some people just couldn't bear to do it.

The four of them were covered in bruises and could barely stand.

Of course, considering that the interrogation was conducted here without following any normal procedures, Sengoku did not say much.

"Black Dragon, tell me your reasons!!!"

"Reason? You mean the reason for attacking G5 Fortress? Actually, it's not that I don't want to say it, but..." Roman hesitated, then looked in one direction several times.

Sengoku followed Roman's gaze, which was fixed on the spot where Akainu was sitting.

"Just say what you mean, don't beat around the bush." ​​Akainu had clearly noticed this as well, but his eyes were still filled with anger and determination.

"Well, Sakazuki, be gentle! After all, she seems to have a hard time speaking." Kizaru just smiled slightly and then began to think.

“Shill, if you’re thinking of me, you don’t need to. All I need is the truth. If you really have a reason, I won’t pursue it, but if there’s no reason, you will definitely pay the price for your actions.”

emm...

I didn't yell at her!

well.

That being the case...

Roman slammed his fist on the table, cracking it with his force. Before anyone could react, he spoke: "Admiral Akainu, your responsibility for this incident, as the person in charge of the New World, is likely greater than you realize. You have committed serious dereliction of duty."

The group of four: (?○Д○)?

Others: ⊙w⊙.

What's happening here?

"What did you say?" Akainu said, emphasizing each word as if gritting his teeth.

Akainu's temper is so bad that most Marines are afraid of him, and this almost accusatory tone is extremely rare to hear from him.

Moreover, does she even know her current situation?

She should be held accountable; she actually…

"Roman, it's not appropriate to talk to Sakazuki like that." Borsalino hadn't expected Roman to be so assertive today.

So she really has the confidence?

"Admiral Kizaru, don't worry, I'll have to say something later too."

Kizaru: (?Д?)

This……

Kizaru immediately sensed something was wrong.

He felt that it was impossible for Roman to turn the tide.

But judging from this situation, she'll probably flip me over too.

Those present looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what was going on.

Have the people who are being "criticized" started criticizing everyone themselves?

Even the Warring States period was somewhat confused about the situation.

He even suspected that this was at Aokiji's behest, meant to give a warning to the other factions.

But when he looked at Aokiji...

Aokiji: ⊙▽⊙

Sengoku: ...Okay, it seems that's not the case.

If you were to ask Roman and the group of four what they did that nearly led to a court-martial, Roman could tell you quite frankly: they turned G5 Fortress upside down, and she even beat up the commander of G5 Fortress.

This incident, which could be described as an enemy attack, actually originated from within the navy.

If it weren't for the fact that Roman had truly "made great contributions," there would probably be other reasons behind it, and given that she had connections, she would be facing a military court now.

As for the apportionment of responsibility, it was the group of four who struck first, and Roman amplified the impact by attacking a group of people from G5 Fortress.

Now everyone is waiting for an explanation from her.

……

"Are you awake, Rios?"

When Rios regained consciousness, he found Roman sitting next to him.

"I..." He felt very uneasy after experiencing the blurring of his memories.

"You actually managed to find scientist Caesar to help you, I must say, that's quite impressive."

These words made Rios' heart sink.

“You can remain silent, Rios, but you’re not the only one with a mouth that can talk.” Then, to Rios’ astonishment, Roman kicked the person beneath her.

He is the base commander.

Before Rios awoke from his hallucination, Roman and his men had already caused a huge disturbance.

Lieutenant General Petter was really unlucky.

Every time he comes to G5 Fortress, he gets attacked.

"Even if you are a lieutenant general in headquarters..."

"Then don't tell me that you went to find the scientific Caesar and provided him with experimental subjects without the help of the base commander and other high-ranking officials. This is not something you could have done by yourself. I'm not that easy to fool."

“Lieutenant General, can’t you just turn a blind eye?” Rios sighed.

He now knew that the person before him already knew everything.

"Turning a blind eye? Can you give me your reasons?"

“They’re pirates. What’s wrong with what we’re doing? They’ve trampled on countless lives. What’s wrong with using them as test subjects? Do you really have to be like this? Or are you just trying to put the hawks in their place?” Rios’ emotions exploded.

"This doesn't sound like something a doctor would say."

“Lieutenant General!!! I am a doctor, a soldier, and most importantly, a human being. How could I not feel resentment towards them? I don’t think we did anything wrong. On the contrary, you, by making such a scene, will also be severely punished.”

“Rios, you’re still too naive!!!” Roman was not intimidated by Rios’ words at all, but got up and opened the curtains.

The sun is shining brightly outside.

But it couldn't dispel the gloom in the room.

"Do you really think everything you're doing is actually helping the Navy?"
