One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 441 All we want is victory

Roman knew that her power was not limitless.

Personal growth is ultimately limited by the limited time available.

That's why she resorts to devouring others to grow stronger.

Her plants are like that, and so can her strikes.

Golden Lion also keenly sensed the strangeness of Roman's attack.

For him, that was not a shock of power.

He felt only a sense of emptiness and void, leaving him feeling hollow inside.

It felt as if everything about oneself would be absorbed into a dark, sunless hole, and one would never see a ray of light again.

After he came to his senses, he found that everything had quieted down.

His strikes seemed to vanish without a trace, leaving only silence.

"Such powerful strength, it's been quite a difficult process for me to absorb it, Golden Lion, is there anything else?"

Ah, is this D?

Upon seeing Roman's move, the Golden Lion laughed wildly again.

Hahahahaha!

That's great.

But that's how it should be.

Such power is indeed worthy of his attention and desire.

It's hard to believe that his power is not yet fully developed.

If this continues unchecked, could another Roger emerge?

No, no one can become Roger except Roger himself.

Even Joy Boy from D wouldn't be Roger.

But he, the Golden Lion, is not the kind of person who would give up his ambition and watch others reach the top.

If you want something, just grab it.

Do what you want to do.

They dare to do anything and think anything.

This is what a pirate should do; this is what Shiki, the Golden Lion, should be doing.

"I have to admit, you do have extraordinary talent, and I can feel your youth. If we were from the same era, I probably wouldn't be able to beat you."

"This shouldn't be considered a compliment, right? Doesn't it imply that I'll be defeated by you today? Don't be too sure of yourself. Otherwise, you'll lose badly."

That's what they say, but Roman didn't let his guard down at all.

She knew this wasn't the highest level the Golden Lion could achieve.

Their battle has only just begun.

Whether it's the Golden Lion or her Roman, what they both want is to win.

Therefore, they all have to do their utmost.

There's no appreciation involved, only winning and losing.

Golden Lion had long since experienced the joy of having Roger as a competitor.

He no longer needs to watch another opponent emerge.

He now only wants to fulfill his own ambitions.

For Roman, the golden lion was by no means her ultimate goal; it was merely a stop along the way, and she had to continue moving forward.

So all they need is a result.

A result of my own victory.

"Unfortunately, you are still too young; you don't know the cruelty of the old era."

"Who says the old era has to be better than the new era? This kind of ridiculous pride is utterly disgusting. It's just like you."

"Arrogant and ignorant!!"

"Pedantic and arrogant!!"

The two were clearly unwilling to give in.

Meanwhile, the golden lion's figure rose again before it began to rise.

Is it coming?!

Roman knew very well what the Golden Lion was trying to do.

The loose rocks high in the air are already starting to stir.

If such a huge number of them were to fall simultaneously...

Although he was in a vegetative state and not afraid of physical attacks, Shiki's methods would not be so simple.

Roman soon learned that the golden lion in the sky had once again unleashed an astonishing aura of dominance.

"Your ability to devour is indeed very powerful, but with so much stuff, your sword can't possibly devour it all. However, if you really can do it, I will look at you in a different light."

"Aaaaaaah!!! What am I going to do?"

As more and more rocks appeared in the sky, Bucky's face turned extremely pale, even more panicked than Roman, who was facing the golden lion.

This is a completely indiscriminate attack.

Pakistani could easily imagine that if this happened, it would immediately result in a scene where no one survived.

How to do?

Should we dig a hole now?

No, I'm running away.

I can't let myself get crushed to death.

Slashes and boulders?

It seems he wants to attack them all at once.

Roman was well aware of the Golden Lion's plans.

So many stones, and if there are also domineering slashes mixed in among them.

Using plant-based materials rashly might backfire and get cut in two.

Sure enough, looking down at the enemy from a high vantage point puts you in a good mood.

Even decades after possessing the Float-Float Fruit, Golden Lion would still quietly sigh.

The view from the air is so expansive.

Everything is on full display.

In the air, you have absolute home-field advantage.

The air up there is always fresh and enchanting.

For the sake of a brighter future, he needs to keep moving forward until he reaches his final destination.

and so……

The golden lion slowly snapped his fingers, looked at the target below, and said softly:

"Fall!"
