One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 340 So Satisfied I Could Explode!

If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him could use their pen to "ruin his reputation," Roman would never have been stingy with his eloquence.

After the interview, Roman had to put in a lot of effort to suppress his urge to hit someone.

Morgans' involvement changed everything.

After the interview, Roman went to see Gion off.

"I have to leave for now, and it may be a long time before I come back."

The person who said this was wearing a thick coat, not a naval uniform.

Only the famous sword at her waist remained with her at all times.

Although she seemed full of energy, Roman knew that it was because an invisible pressure was hanging over them.

"Have you decided where you want to go yet?"

"Actually, I don't know either, but I do know that if I stay in the Navy, I won't be able to grow."

Gion's attitude was very firm.

Roman understood what she meant.

The navy became an ivory tower in Gion.

Since enlisting in the army, everything has gone smoothly for Gion.

She has good talent, is perceptive, and has earned the favor of the crane.

In the eyes of others, such a life could be described as perfect.

However, Gion has already recognized its limitations.

She's living way too well.

Therefore, she cannot become stronger.

Zhiyuan had to admit that there was complacency and pride in her personality.

After all, she was also seen as a genius.

Of course, she never gave up trying.

However, the pressure on her this time was just too great.

The shadow cast by Kaido still made her uneasy.

Furthermore, public opinion from the outside world is irreversible.

Both the navy and I have accepted the result, so there's no need to say anything more.

All I can do is make myself even stronger.

This is also so that the navy can gain more.

In order to achieve this goal, she cannot simply stay in the tranquil Marineford.

After returning, she thought about it for a long time.

Why was Roman able to progress so rapidly?

In the past, Roman was on par with him, and he could even have been better than her.

However, this advantage gradually diminished and was eventually surpassed.

Zhiyuan knew that she was still unwilling to accept it.

She was older than Roman and had more combat experience, but she was already a step behind.

But it was through this incident that she realized Roman's strength was not something that came easily.

She is courageous in exploring and has a strong will, daring to do things that others dare not do.

Such a child is admirable.

Moreover, Gion knew exactly where it went wrong.

"Hahaha!!! I've really been stuck in my ways for too long." Jien covered her mouth and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Zhiyuan, I'm sorry..."

"So sudden?" Jien was surprised by Roman's apology.

"No matter what, your injuries are all my fault. Even if you've given your reasons, I still have to apologize to you personally, especially since you're about to embark on a long journey of training. Otherwise, who knows how long it will be before we get another chance."

After all, my conscience still hurts a little.

"I should be the one apologizing... At the time... I really blamed myself. If I had been stronger, would you have been able to trust me more, and would I have been able to resort to this method?"

"But looking back now, it was almost a dead end. We couldn't beat Kaido, so we had to find another way. And all you wanted was for us to survive. I'm sorry, Roman, I was too weak."

"No, Genji, you are already strong enough."

When they are able to openly accept their own weaknesses, they will surely step into true strength.

“We still have plenty of time to grow, so I hope you will return soon, Garden.” Roman extended his hand.

“Yes, I will.” Jien also extended her hand and clasped it with hers.

……

"At the time, how should I put it... I actually thought she was a gentle person."

"Who can argue with that? She actually held Momousagi's hand so affectionately back then."

“I thought she would be gentler after going through what she did. Who could have imagined…”

"I'm telling you three bastards... if you keep chattering, get to the back! She's catching up!" Patch was furious and yelled at the other three.

"Not bad, you still have the energy to talk. Anyone I catch will get 10 heavy blows to the head and be reborn."

That was indeed a new beginning.

If you punched me in the head 10 times, I'd be dead.

Or, to be honest, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always felt that her fists were even more terrifying.

Isn't she a swordsman and a Devil Fruit user?

What, do you need to learn some physical skills too?

You really want to be a polygon warrior?

If you want to be a sparring partner, then be one; if you want to study, then study. But what's the point of making them your sparring partners?

And that's literally deadly!

If you get punched a few times by Roman, you won't have to think about anything for the rest of your life.

With this in mind, they moved even faster.

Ok……

Very energetic!!!

Roman was pleased to see the four of them moving so fast.

She definitely needs to improve herself.

So she temporarily left Marineford to study.

However, one doesn't need to do something like Gion's training all by oneself.

Having a few as a diversion wouldn't be bad, would it?

Therefore, Roman did not hesitate to bring Sly, Glen, Raven, and Patch along to accompany her on her training.

The group of four's attitude was: ?(；′Д｀?)

Because romantic practice is truly deadly.

The four-person team served as chefs, tailors, sparring partners, punching bags, and many other roles.

Seriously, who says that studying has to be miserable?

You have to cultivate yourself alone.

We just need to broaden our horizons; can't we do without a few more people?

Wouldn't it be great to have a few subordinates (servants) to make your life a little happier and more convenient?

And wouldn't doing this also improve their strength?

A win-win situation!!!

What else could they possibly be dissatisfied with?

Amazingly satisfied, okay? (The group of four: You're the only one who's absolutely thrilled, okay?!)
