One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 243 Your plans are quite grand.

“It’s a good name!” the redhead replied with a smile.

"Thank you, then please have a seat." Makino gestured for the two to sit down.

"Aren't you bothered at all by our pirate identity?" Beckman was still a little puzzled.

Is it fair to call it naive to openly entertain pirates like this?

Moreover, she doesn't seem like someone who hides her strength.

“Because for someone whose days are numbered, fear is meaningless.” Makino’s answer was very casual, but it surprised Shanks and Beckman.

“That’s right, that’s why I don’t want to hide my abilities anymore. I just want to see what kind of adventures I’ll encounter in the final days of my life. But it seems like the trouble that’s coming is a bit big! Your plans are quite ambitious!” Makino’s voice rang out again, and she looked directly at Shanks once more.

……

"Beckman, why are you out here? Didn't that lady say she could accommodate two people?" Yasopp and the other crew members were waiting outside, bored, when they noticed Beckman had come out.

"That lady seemed more interested in Shanks, and she told me that if I went to West Street now, I would have a romantic encounter."

"Seriously? You've got way too many romantic encounters," the other crew members grumbled discontentedly.

“That…” Svetlan’s voice quietly appeared.

"Hmm? You haven't gone home yet? This kind of night isn't suitable for a little girl to wander around. Go home now, but thank you for today." Beckman looked at the somewhat timid Svetlana and spoke gently.

"I just want to know, how is Makino's health? She always looks so weak. I know it's very dangerous to spread her abilities like this, but she said she wanted to see a different view one last time. Will she be alright?"

I initially thought Svetlan was being too reckless, spreading such abilities around could easily put Makino in danger.

But unexpectedly...

In situations like this, wouldn't it be better to tell a white lie?

Even someone as intelligent as Beckman is now finding it a bit of a headache.

Because lies will always be exposed by the truth.

"Well, I don't know either," Beckman could only shrug helplessly.

It would be truly sad if such a beautiful and charming woman were to pass away.

However, if it cannot be changed, then accepting reality is the best course of action.

"But you can rest assured about one thing, Svetlana, she won't be bored during this time."

"What do you mean?"

"I think our captain will definitely be able to give her an unforgettable time."

……

West End.

The long street of Huanle Street.

Bateman was no stranger to this kind of place.

He was a playboy, and his fondness for women was no secret among the crew.

After all, he's a pirate, not some moral exemplar. Finding some fun in the boundless ocean, isn't that the romance of a pirate?

When the other crew members heard from Svetlan that a tavern had introduced a new product, they all rushed over without hesitation.

Those guys probably can't do anything, since Shanks isn't around.

As for Shanks, Beckman felt there was nothing to worry about.

He seems quite interested in that woman, but he probably wouldn't do anything outrageous.

Besides, that guy is indeed quite strong. Even if he encounters any danger, the noise he makes will be enough for the people on the island to know.

Beckman felt there was no need to worry too much.

Just ...

Beckman couldn't help but think of the commotion that morning. Although it lasted a long time, the people who could make such a fuss were no ordinary people.

At the very least, they would need to be people with the fighting power of the New World to be able to do it.

Besides the people tracking them, there was another group of people, and the two groups started fighting.

So what exactly is it...?

While Beckman was still thinking, he noticed two people running towards him.

They are two girls.

She had fiery red hair, a slender figure, but her face was covered with a black veil.

One of them had typical black hair, a well-proportioned and healthy figure, a powerful gait, and delicate features. However, a thick scarf was draped over her shoulders, even covering her arms.

Although her outfit wasn't too strange, wasn't it a bit too conservative?

Yes, Beckman's thoughts are very true.

This area is a hub for lantern festivals and brothels.

Prostitutes were everywhere.

Showing a leg or a shoulder is practically standard practice.

But she's dressed so normally, so she's not a prostitute?

Is he a customer?

But seeing them walking towards him without hesitation, Beckman was still a little cautious.

It is necessary to keep your distance from women when necessary.

They are adorable creatures, but also terrifying ones.

Many of them are devoted to love and would do anything for it.

Passionate yet gentle, fragile yet resilient, stubborn yet vulnerable.

In short, Beckman believed that women are also amazing beings.

Despite being a seasoned player in the dating scene, he still couldn't see through women.

After all, Beckman has always believed that good and evil coexist.

Beckman wanted to keep a safe distance, since the other person didn't seem quite right.

But to his surprise, when they were still several steps away from him, the two girls stopped and just stared at him.

“You are…” Beckman was about to speak, but was interrupted again.

"We'd like to make a deal with you. Would you be interested?"

what?
