One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 150 Even if you die, your things are still mine.

Wearing a mask is necessary when doing bad things; she just wanted Mihawk to offend Whitebeard again, but that doesn't mean she wanted to get herself into trouble.

The phenomenon of innocent bystanders being affected is common everywhere.

With her and Mihawk's combined efforts, they quickly captured the ship.

During this period, Roman's attire made it impossible to recognize her true appearance.

Seeing Mihawk casually appear above the Smoke Pirates, Roman outwardly gave him a thumbs up, but inwardly marveled at Mihawk's stubbornness.

Hassan, on the other hand, was in big trouble.

Even as he lay battered and bruised on the ground, he was still yelling, "Do you know who my captain is? I'm one of Whitebeard's men! If you dare to hurt anyone under Whitebeard's command, you're finished, Mihawk! Big Daddy will never let you get away with this!"

Both Roman and Mihawk had heard far too many of these dying rants.

"Although he's spouting boastful words, his body is trembling the whole time!" Roman couldn't help but sneer at Hassan's performance.

Whitebeard was undoubtedly a good captain, but he didn't take the elite route. Instead, he loved to adopt sons and daughters, and the large number of crew members led to a mixed bag of people. As the saying goes, "a large forest has all kinds of birds."

Although Hassan is a diligent intelligence agent, according to the clues he has within the pirates, he is a complete coward and is also involved in smuggling.

Ok?

His eyes have been glancing at that deck ever since he started looking at it.

Looks like there's something good inside.

Roman smiled knowingly and walked over in the direction of his gaze.

As the masked man walked past, Hassan broke out in a cold sweat. If what was inside was seen, he might be expelled from the Whitebeard Pirates, and his own crew would be swallowed up immediately.

"Wait, please don't open it. I'm willing to trade my treasure for your life. And Mihawk, you're a swordsman, so you'd be interested in famous swords, right? I can give you one..."

Before he could finish speaking, Roman interrupted, "Foolish! Even if you die, your things will still be mine."

Hassan: "..."

Mihawk: "..."

Taking advantage of the moment, Roman opened the deck and discovered a huge water tank, and then a woman's face.

She had light blue hair, violet-like eyes, and fair skin that shone with a delicate glow. She possessed a gentle and frail demeanor, with a string of pearls hanging from her slender neck. Her bodice was made of seashells, and she had a slim figure.

However, this is no ordinary beauty, because her lower body is a pink fishtail.

Anyone with eyes can see that this is a mermaid.

However, the poor mermaid seemed to be in bad shape, as she was chained all over.

As if seeing the long-lost light, tears welled in her eyes as she struggled to reach out, "Please save me." Then she fainted. In the bright light, Roman looked at her thin body and sighed. It seemed she had suffered a lot.

The purpose of hiding a mermaid here is self-evident.

This is one of the Celestial Dragons' favorite items.

No wonder Hassan didn't dare let her see him.

Whitebeard is still alive and well, so Fishman Island remains his territory. He lent his pirate flag to Fishman Island in exchange for its protection.

However, Hassan, as Whitebeard's son, actually sold mermaids from the territory protected by Whitebeard.

This is a serious crime in the Whitebeard Pirates. It's a direct slap in the face to Whitebeard.

Selling mermaids with the Whitebeard Pirates is illegal; they can be handcuffed.

Seeing that Roman had already opened the deck, Hassan's face turned ashen.

At this moment, he had already thought about his fate. His father might spare his life, but he would no longer have Whitebeard to back him up.

Because of Whitebeard's reputation, most pirates dared not provoke him. He was also in the intelligence business, having planted many people within the Navy and thus having some knowledge of their movements.

Moreover, even the Navy wouldn't dare to easily provoke the Whitebeard Pirates' affiliated teams; they would have to go through layers of approval.

In that time, their pirate crew would have already vanished without a trace.

"Mihawk, I've suddenly had a great idea. What do you think?"

"Whatever, whether it's Hassan or anyone else, I'm not interested. As long as you can still fight me, that's enough." Mihawk closed his eyes, choosing to ignore him.

"Well then, Hassan, I'll give you a chance. I'll let you remain a member of the Whitebeard Pirates and not be expelled."

"Really? Really? What are your conditions?" Looking at the masked man in front of him, Hassan knew that nothing good would come of it, but he had no other choice, so he mustered up his courage and asked.

……

“Bru bru…”

Huh? The Den Den Mushi is ringing? Could it be that those little guys have caused trouble again? With this thought in mind, Marco quickly answered the phone.

"Oh, is this Hassan? What's the matter?"

"Captain Marco, we have been attacked by the Beasts Pirates, please..." Suddenly, the phone went dead.

Oh no, I need to report this to Dad as soon as possible.

……

"This can be considered keeping your promise, dying as a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, rather than as a traitor. That's giving you some dignity," Roman said slowly, looking at the head lying at his feet.

"This is the first time I've seen the Navy act like this," Mihawk commented from the side.

"I thought you would spare his life, but I didn't expect you to kill everyone on the ship."

"Although I originally intended to pin the blame for his death on you, it's better that he's now of better use. So, Mihawk, how about considering joining the Navy? Although my motives aren't pure, in the end, I've certainly reduced the trouble for you, haven't I? There are plenty of swordsmen in the Navy. If you could join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, your swordsmanship should improve even further." Roman's voice was seductive.

She rarely does anything that doesn't benefit her.

If Mihawk's inclusion in the Seven Warlords of the Sea is successful, her contribution will be significant. Moreover...

It's not good to say this in front of Zephyr, but if Zephyr has a problem with it, then go find Sengoku Taisho and don't take the blame yourself.

Moreover, Mihawk is indeed a good candidate.

"Let me see your strength first." Mihawk neither refused nor agreed directly, but instead took a stance, ready to fight Roman.

This is the romance of a swordsman.

Once she has a certain status, she must change this kind of romantic attitude.

"Since you've put it that way, then I can only do my utmost to show my respect for you." Roman also drew his longsword from its sheath.

Sensing that she was also getting serious, Mihawk's lips curled up slightly.

"Just to my liking."
