One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 361 I Will Not Die Easily

Recently, CP (couple pairing) groups have been exceptionally active.

Looking at the masked people in the shadows, Roman knew what was going on.

More and more people like this are appearing.

It was as if something big had happened.

Of course, Roman could probably guess it.

CP's actions symbolize the will of the World Government.

I guess it's all for Nika.

Looking back now, it's clear that the CP (couple pairing) wasn't to be underestimated.

They actually found the Nika fruit.

The fruit with its own free will had been trying to escape the control of the World Government for hundreds of years, but it was eventually found.

From this perspective, the CP (couple pairing) did indeed contribute.

However, no one expected that Shanks would secretly intervene, causing the World Government's hard work to vanish.

It seems the time has come.

They are about to find Nika.

If he can detect the World Government's movements, there's no reason why Shanks can't do the same.

He is probably more concerned about the World Government's movements than any other pirate, after all, the prophecy he left behind was just that.

So, is it necessary to intervene?

She was indifferent to both the World Government and Shanks.

The world government's objectives are clear.

But what exactly Shanks wanted to do was a very vague question for Roman.

What was the source of his eager anticipation for the arrival of a new world?

Was it really just for the captain's wish?

Didn't they have their own selfish motives?

Is he truly so full of boundless love, all for the sake of new hope?

Even if that's what he thought, how could things possibly go so smoothly?

If that Nika is truly sentient, it will surely choose its own master.

So, even without you, Shanks, does that mean the savior won't appear?

……

A bad feeling.

When Shanks woke up this morning, he felt an unusual pain in his left hand.

Even though the wound had long since healed and his left hand was gone, he still felt pain.

This feels a bit awful.

It just so happens now.

It was when news of that fruit had already arrived.

Shanks couldn't help but recall his conversation with Beckman.

Heilong really knows them.

This understanding is very profound.

It's something that can hardly be achieved overnight.

Although the reason is unknown, this is indeed a threat.

Secondly, Black Dragon also knows many secrets.

From the beginning, she partnered with Makino, setting a trap and waiting for them to be captured.

Is it possible for something like this to happen a second time?

Black Dragon is a member of the navy.

The ties between the Navy and the World Government have undoubtedly become closer.

If she truly knows a lot, then does she also know what the World Government's actions mean?

And would she reappear like a ghost during their actions?

Such an enemy is truly formidable.

At least that's what Beckman thinks.

However, Shanks had a different opinion.

He was more interested in knowing Black Dragon Sig's attitude toward the future.

She already knew that Nika would definitely arrive in the future, so there was no reason why she wouldn't know.

So what is her view on this future?

Is this acceptable?

If she doesn't oppose this future, Shanks doesn't think she can be considered an enemy, at least not the main enemy at present.

She might even be an asset.

Of course, this is a good result, representing the most ideal situation.

The unfortunate outcome is that the Black Dragon dislikes this future and resorts to other means to prevent it from happening.

Although Shanks felt it was almost impossible to change the existing fate, he could not allow the black dragon to do so.

However, there is also the possibility that the Black Dragon Society will remain on the sidelines.

However, both Beckman and Shanks felt that this possibility was extremely small.

People with precognitive abilities often don't actively try to change the future, because they've already seen everything.

However, people who lack this ability may not be able to accept such a thing after knowing the future.

They might deliberately do things to prevent the future from happening.

Especially when she was quite capable.

Beckman's assessment of the black dragon was: "Although he appears mature and capable, he also has childlike personality traits."

Unlike Shanks.

Beckman's vision is naturally much longer-term.

Not now, but later.

Even if she is not the main enemy now, she certainly will be in the future.

If the Red-Haired Pirates want to continue to grow and expand, then conflict with her is inevitable.

This is determined by our inherent position.

Since becoming a pirate, Beckman has pondered the questions of when and how he will die many times.

However, in the atmosphere of the Red-Haired Pirates, he became less sensitive to the concept of death.

However, the incident a few years ago almost wiped out their pirate crew, which made him more cautious.

As the brain of the team, he must ensure the heart has enough power to keep beating and continue to power the ship.

“You look very serious. Are you feeling bad?” Noticing Shanks’ expression, Beckman also became serious.

"Beckman, don't worry, I won't die that easily." As he spoke, Shanks only grabbed the left side of his cloak.

I won't die that easily.
