One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 318 About to Step into the Boeing Archipelago

Traveling on the Grand Line has always been fraught with danger.

In particular, this sightseeing boat takes the unconventional route of "adventure" to attract attention.

The risk factor is likely several times higher.

Roman felt that unless one possessed some skill, venturing into such a desolate area was tantamount to courting death.

But to Roman's surprise, the journey was smooth sailing.

Forget about pirates, there wasn't even bad weather.

At first glance, it all seemed perfectly normal, but Roman found it rather unusual.

It seems that sometimes I'm not so unlucky after all.

Soon, following the route, the sightseeing boat arrived near the Boeing Islands.

Everyone was amazed by this amazing sight.

Several small islands, resembling flowers, came into view.

Yes, as beautiful as a flower.

You can tell from its shape that it is a beautiful little island.

Moreover, a fragrance kept emanating from it.

Food? Floral scent? Perfume?

In short, it's a mixture of all sorts of sweet flavors.

But it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable; on the contrary, it has a kind of attractive feeling.

At this moment, Gion finally understood why Roman said the island was so alluring.

Beauty often carries deadly danger.

Even humans are drawn to this extraordinary scenery and sweet scent, so what about other animals? What about marine creatures whose sense of smell is many times greater than that of humans?

And Gion's idea was soon proven true.

Soon, a giant sea monster crashed into the island.

The collision that occurred at the start of the journey stirred up layers of water and even affected the ship.

The ship was already rocking violently due to the disturbance from the seawater.

Meanwhile, instead of being frightened, the people on the sightseeing boat all pulled out their cameras and frantically took pictures!

This action surprised even Roman.

Alright, anyone who dares to wander around the Grand Line at this time is probably not a coward.

Meanwhile, the sea king was still desperately wriggling its body, trying to get ashore.

Roman knew that he was deeply tempted by this place.

They completely forgot that land is not its habitat, but the ocean is.

"It seems the place you want to go is a bit dangerous," Jiaji said, looking at the sea king who had lost his mind.

"It's not just a temptation. Lieutenant General Kaji, you know, if a plant emits a pleasant fragrance, it's definitely looking for food."

In the evolution of nature, plants naturally possess their own wisdom for survival.

It's important to understand that the ultimate goal of all living things is reproduction.

In order to reproduce, plants also try every means to evolve themselves.

The plants in this world may have evolved in a slightly more extreme way...

It has evolved itself into the size of a small island, something that most plants can't do.

After Roman explained, Kaji quickly understood what Roman meant.

Because the evidence is irrefutable at this moment.

The island... no, the plants that had evolved into small islands started to move.

Its undulating limbs seemed to be awakened and began to move.

Finally, amidst the astonished gazes of Jiaji and Gion, he spun 90 degrees.

Because of the tilt, the sea kings also fell.

Finally, an opening appeared in the center of the island.

It was a gaping, blood-red maw.

The moment the sea monster entered its mouth, it immediately closed its mouth, then the corners of its mouth stretched outwards, finally revealing a satisfied smile.

Then it slowly returned to its original position, and everything returned to calm.

From a distance, the island appears lush and green, a picturesque scene.

But the scene that just happened will not be forgotten by the onlookers, and it made Kakei and Gion feel uneasy.

So this island is alive?

It is itself a super-large predator.

However, seeing the tourists around them taking photos like crazy, the two of them felt out of place for a moment.

Are people really this resilient when it comes to traveling now?

"Are you sure you really want to go to this island?" Kaji asked, somewhat worried.

"Yes, this is the destination I wanted to reach from the very beginning."

“Indeed…unusual.” As a kind-hearted person, Kaji never said anything that would spoil the mood, unless you count his frequent marriage proposals to Gion.

"It seems the place you chose is indeed a bit special."

After being shocked, Gion calmed down.

After all, she had followed Sister He for so many years and had seen countless storms, so she naturally adjusted her mood quickly.

"This island is a treasure trove for me. By the way, you two can also cultivate here."

The animals that can survive in the Boeing Islands for a long time should not be underestimated.

The island feeds voraciously every so often, and over time, the creatures that survive are certainly not ordinary.

"Good idea."

Zhiyuan nodded.

She didn't come out for a vacation, but for cultivation, and also to have a chance to compete with Roman.

However, Roman is not willing at the moment, so I can only settle for second best.

"Then I'll go too."

Kakei quickly spoke up. Although the place looked very dangerous, he was also a skilled soldier in the Navy and naturally wasn't afraid of it.

Besides, we're already going into the garden, so why shouldn't I go in too?

How could that be? Kake would never give up the chance to be with Gion.

“Well then, it’s decided then.” With that, Roman jumped onto the edge of the boat.

"But I've heard that once you step onto this island, it's very difficult to get out. Are you sure?"

"That means there must be something special up there, Roman. I'm very curious."

"I'll go wherever my sister Gion goes, of course I'll go too."

As expected of a future general candidate, he didn't even change his expression when he heard about the danger outside.

The island is dangerous, but not dangerous enough to be fatal.

As for the method of extraction...

Roman thought it was worth a try.

"Guest, that's dangerous. You'll fall into the water."

Seeing Roman jump onto the roof of the ship, the staff hurriedly spoke up.

"Please don't worry about us, you two, let's go."

As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them took to the Boeing Islands on a moonwalk.
