One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 144 Beat Him to Death

That look in his eyes was so pure.

Roman could see no other emotion in his eyes, only a thirst for killing.

Rob Lucci upholds a darker, more cruel, and more extreme form of justice than Sazakaski's absolute justice, and holds the dark belief that "justice can legalize murder."

But what is he doing here?

"Is she the child you're talking about?" Spandine sneered, scanning Roman up and down. "Using a doll as our killing machine? Sengoku no Taisho, I don't think you're senile yet!"

?

Dealing with the killing machine? Dealing with Lucci?

What's going on here? It seems that the generals of the Warring States period really have a talent for creating trouble for themselves.

“Syl Roman is already a major at such a young age. She has only been in the Navy for a little over a year and has plenty of potential. You can try it if you don’t believe me. How could I joke about this? You know this is about the outcome of a bet.” After saying that, Sengoku winked at Roman.

Warring States Period: No need to hold back, fight to the death.

Roman: You think too highly of me.

Sengoku: You're absolutely fine.

Roman: I'll give it a try.

After receiving a signal from Sengoku, Roman roughly knew that a fight was about to break out.

But what does "betting" mean?

Is there any benefit to winning?

Could you share some with me?

“Alright, let’s begin then. But wait, let’s go somewhere else. It wouldn’t be good if we damaged your office. Lucci, let’s go somewhere where we can put our skills to good use. You shouldn’t disappoint me!” Spandam looked at Lucci, who had remained silent, hoping he would say something that would give him confidence.

But Lucci kept looking at Roman, a smile playing on his lips, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Once you have authorization, you can do it yourself.

Roman believed that even an ordinary major would have a hard time dealing with Lucci at this age, because others might have thought of stopping short of defeat, but Lucci was a ruthless character who had wiped out 500 soldiers and killed all the invading pirates. His ruthlessness was comparable to his own.

Even so, she was confident she could defeat Lucci, but it would be best not to use her preferred methods. Rob Lucci was a master of physical combat, and even eating a Devil Fruit hadn't changed that. So, if she wanted to hone her skills, physical combat would be the best way. She also wanted to see how much of her strength this mediocre swordsman could demonstrate by relying solely on physical combat.

After arriving at a spacious place, the four people spread out and began a standoff.

However, at this moment, Roman threw his earth sword aside, which surprised Sengoku and Lucci.

"Is dropping your weapon an admission of defeat?" Lucci asked Roman with a disdainful tone, watching his actions.

"Of course not, because my swordsmanship is almost entirely used for killing. For sparring, fists are fine. After all, you are a very strong person, so I have to go all out. If I don't control my sword well and you die, I'll be in trouble."

"You really dare to say that." Lucci was on the verge of exploding with rage.

It seems like they're praising themselves, but they're actually looking down on themselves.

Killing a Marine shouldn't be a big deal. The World Government is the place I should be obeying. Although this superior is stupid, I'll still be in trouble if I disobey orders.

shave.

With lightning speed, Lucci teleported to Roman's side and raised his fist, aiming for his heart.

But the punch felt like hitting steel, causing his fist to ache slightly.

How is that possible? His Dao power has already exceeded 1000. An ordinary person would at least be kneeling down, if not blown away.

"Your strength is alright, but it seems you can't break through my Armament Haki. You're still just a kid." Roman, who was only a year older than Lucci, said this, which clearly angered Lucci. He threw another punch at Roman's face, but Roman blocked it.

His strength has increased again, not bad. Although he doesn't have any domineering aura, his ability to become stronger with each battle is quite good. Roman couldn't help but think as he felt the power.

Compared to his offensive power, his defensive power was far from sufficient. Roman knew that he had a very obvious weakness: high offense and low defense.

So she was intentionally getting beaten up to get some training, especially by deliberately taking the hits from Garp.

However, the old man's punches caused him excruciating pain every time, so Roman gave up after a few attempts.

Lucci's strength is not bad.

Although I don't know if I can handle his arm strength of 4000 ki in the future, for now, using Armament Haki to defend shouldn't be a problem.

Then, Roman threw a punch at Lucci, whose chassis was unstable.

However, Lucci only shifted his center of gravity slightly and immediately used Shave to move away from his original position.

No wonder he'll be a master of the Six Styles in the future; he can already use them with ease right now.

The Six Powers were originally designed to increase the combat power of marines who do not possess Haki, but it must also be acknowledged that they are highly practical.

For example, Lucci's constantly changing positions are just like a nimble black cat. If you don't use your Observation Haki to foresee it, you won't know where Lucci will land next.

However, in this situation, you don't need to be domineering. In order to defeat yourself, he can't be too far away from you. You just need to seize that one moment.

Three, two, one, that's now.

In a mere 0.36-second interval, Roman slammed his fist into the ground, causing the surrounding area to shatter like a spiderweb, break apart, and then rapidly sink.

The solid ground was destroyed, and the sense of balance loss that Lucci experienced was exceptionally strong, causing his body to tilt and almost sink into the ground.

Roman's superhuman strength surprised Sengoku a little, but it was still within reason. Roman always brought a lot of surprises, so one more wouldn't hurt.

Spandam was taken aback. He had thought Spandam was just a useless bum, but he was surprised to find that Spandam was a tough guy who could punch through such thick ground.

Roman didn't know what the two people off the field were thinking; she only knew that now was her chance.

Lucci can shave, and so can I, so all I need is...

In an instant, Roman used Shave to get to Lucci's side and grabbed him by the neck.

The neck is a vital area; in a typical sparring match, Lucci should have already lost.

But for Lucci, as long as he was still alive, he could not stop or admit defeat. So, despite his difficulty breathing, he still fired his finger gun at Roman.

In an instant, blood splattered.

This caused Roman's hands to relax slightly.

An opportunity flashed in Lu Qi's eyes, but in an instant, the girl's sudden burst of energy made him sluggish. In just a moment of hesitation, he was pinned to the ground in a disheveled state.

But it wasn't over yet. Lucci made his only act of resistance, biting Roman's hand hard with his teeth.
