One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 296 Prodin

The so-called competitive job selection is a timeless topic.

The rise and fall of the Great Pirate Era was also a more brutal form of competition for employment.

Of course, the same applies to the navy.

He has now been promoted to Marshal of the Armed Forces and stationed in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

During the Warring States period, he was promoted to marshal, becoming the most powerful person in the navy.

Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Borsalino were awarded titles and promoted to Admirals, becoming the World Government's top combat force.

Further promotions in military rank also involve fierce competition.

However, for Roman, these things were not considered troubles or competition.

She has always been promoted based on merit, not seniority.

If given the opportunity and the platform, she could easily achieve something big and get promoted.

However, she is not so enthusiastic about military rank now; strengthening herself is more important.

But playing a dedicated naval officer can also be quite fun.

Moreover, something even more interesting is happening in the Navy.

Now that all the vacant general positions have been filled, the minds of all teams and factions are now on high alert.

This is because it means the struggle between doves and hawks will become even more intense.

From Roman's perspective, the conflict between Aokiji and Akainu is also intensifying due to their differing stances.

Because their supporters are constantly fueling the conflict between the two.

"At least for now, individual heroism can't surpass the collective. What do you think, Admiral Kizaru?" Roman looked at Kizaru beside him and shared his opinion.

Kizaru, of course, understood what Roman meant.

He was one of the few people who knew best about the changes between Aokiji and Akainu.

Long, long ago, the two of them would also drink and chat happily.

However, these have almost all been forgotten, because it was only a very short period of time.

After that, their relationship gradually soured.

As for what happened much later, there's no need to elaborate.

Even I don't really like the atmosphere between them.

Their antagonism stems not only from their personalities, but also from the interests they represent and the teams they belong to, which will push them down different paths.

Okay, Roman is right.

When she said this, she was not only analyzing the situation, but also telling herself that it was wrong to blindly believe in her own power.

"Well, I guess so." Although he was thinking about something, Kizaru remained lazy.

What a calm and neutral party!

Although he has always had a good personal relationship with Akainu, he has never publicly supported Akainu.

However, during the Warring States period, Aokiji was considered more promising.

So, to be honest, Akainu is indeed at a disadvantage in the race for Fleet Admiral.

However, in a chaotic era, someone like Akainu, who couldn't tolerate any injustice, was indeed more suitable to be the Fleet Admiral than Aokiji.

Therefore, the last two players must be played.

"However, Roman, you'll still support Aokiji, right?" Kizaru suddenly interjected.

After all, Roman and Aokiji had maintained a good relationship for a long time, and Aokiji trusted Roman a lot.

While Roman herself may have a terrifying side, she is completely unrelated to extremism.

Objectively speaking, Roman is quite rational.

Although he is ruthless towards his enemies and even himself, he is not someone who has to sacrifice everything for his goals.

She also values ​​the lives of innocent people.

Moreover, her support will likely be the key factor in the future struggle between the two marshals.

It is somewhat disrespectful for Mr. Zhan Guo to think this way so soon after taking over the position of marshal.

But now that they have officially become generals, undercurrents have begun to stir.

Moreover, Aokiji is much more motivated now than he used to be.

They no longer disappear so easily.

Of course, in terms of diligence, Akainu still far surpasses Aokiji.

"Admiral, internal strife is a major taboo. Everything we do is for the development of the navy. Why make such a clear distinction?" Roman's words remained impeccable, deftly deflecting the issue.

They really didn't reveal any details.

Kizaru curled his lip in disinterest.

"However, why don't you fully support Admiral Akainu?"

Most of those who follow Kizaru are also unambitious.

This also means that Kizaru's own power will not be too great.

This is also determined by his own personality.

Even so, his choice will largely determine the outcome of the battle between Akainu and Aokiji.

But he remained indifferent.

"Major General Roman, you can't say things that are detrimental to unity."

Clearly, Kizaru had no intention of easily revealing his thoughts to Roman.

The three generals are also monsters whose main characteristics are their personalities.

This means that you may not be able to fully predict many things.

Roman, having received a non-answer, did not press further. Instead, he picked up a pen and began to scribble.

Ok?

"Could he be writing a transfer application?" Kizaru secretly wondered.

It's really a pity that such a good secretary is leaving.

Although she has a sharp tongue, she still has her merits.

However, Roman clearly has no such plans yet.

The energy from the Glint-Glint Fruit was still very beneficial to her growth as a person in a vegetative state.

If it weren't for this, she really would have turned around and left.

"Ah, you don't need to worry, I really have no intention of leaving this place."

Although it felt like the truth, it just sounded very off.

However, Kizaru was still drawn to the contents of the application that Roman handed him.

After reading the above, he blurted out, "You're going to the Kingdom of Prodin?"
