One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 423 Let me see your strength

When Roman saw the person Sword had chosen for her, her lips twitched violently.

It was fat enough, but she feared it might not be a sheep, but a wolf.

Maybe this time I'm the sheep.

It seems that their being too powerful isn't necessarily a good thing.

Noticing Roman's conflicted expression, Bal and Barbara also began to look curiously at the documents in Roman's hands.

The image presented to them was of a disabled person.

He had long, golden hair that reached the ground, like a lion's mane.

In addition, his sideburns and beard were golden, and his sideburns were very long. In appearance, he did indeed resemble a golden lion.

Barr and Barbara felt that the man's eyes were filled with emotions they couldn't understand.

The emotions involved are far too complex for a simple Lilliputian to comprehend.

But beyond that, a deep-seated anxiety swept through their local sentiment.

The man in the picture has a ship's wheel stuck in his head, and his legs are also crippled; he even uses a long knife as a substitute for his legs.

Is it really okay to walk properly like this?

For the fairy race, known for their speed, a pair of flexible feet is also a source of pride.

“It should be easy to catch this person,” Baal said uncertainly.

After all, in his mind, a person who was crippled like that probably didn't have much fighting power.

Roman shook his head solemnly at Bahr's words.

Being disabled can indeed affect combat effectiveness.

But the prerequisite is that you need to see what kind of world this is?

In One Piece, she seems to have never met any weak or disabled people.

The disabled people inside are all top-notch fighters.

Shiki, the Golden Lion who inherited Rocks' power and military strength, was naturally one of the best among them.

After Rocks' decline and before Roger's rise to power, that was the era of the Golden Lion.

If it weren't for the sudden storm at Eddardwood, it's hard to say whether Roger would have become the Pirate King.

Thinking of this, Roman clenched the photo in his hand.

Like her, Jin Shizi is someone who's willing to go all out.

She disfigured herself to lure Shanks and his crew into a trap, causing them to be careless and fall into her attack range without recognizing her.

Shiki went even further, cutting off his own legs in order to leave the impel down.

This also makes him the only prisoner to date to have publicly escaped from Impel Down.

After that, he went into complete seclusion.

However, even though he had gone into hiding, Shiki was not the kind of person who would be content with loneliness or mediocrity.

Even during his lowest point, he tirelessly prepared for something big.

The key point is that the place where he plans to do something big actually seems to be the East China Sea.

Let's just say that the East China Sea region is full of talented individuals, like the legendary Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix.

You wouldn't be surprised to meet any kind of person here.

Roman silently complained to himself.

But she was genuinely analyzing the feasibility of this matter.

The Golden Lion once dared to enter Marineford all by himself.

Fortunately, Sengoku and Garp were there.

When both are at their peak, a two-on-one situation, the outcome is self-evident.

Sengoku and Garp defeated the Golden Lion that very night.

However, the aftermath of the battle reduced almost half of Marineford to ruins.

This is the Golden Lion.

However, the Golden Lion is no longer at its peak.

Aging and old injuries are problems that every strong person must face as they get older.

What's more, there's a ship's wheel on the golden lion's head.

That thing also seriously affected his thinking.

In other words, compared to its peak, the current Golden Lion is a "sick lion" whose intelligence and physical strength have both declined significantly.

However, his bounty is indeed quite high.

If we capture him, a large bounty will be in our pockets.

That's a huge profit.

Come to think of it, he and his mother were once colleagues.

Back on Whole Cake Island, Roman would listen to his older brothers tell stories about Linlin's past.

My mother's hysteria wasn't that severe at the time; she was still relatively lucid.

Therefore, he was a very capable senior officer on Lockes' ship.

But even his mother at the time found Shiki the Golden Lion a real headache.

On Rocks's pirate ship at the time, the order of Rocks' subordinates was Whitebeard > Golden Lion > Big Mom.

At that time, Whitebeard disdained fighting with others.

His strength also ensures that he can enjoy himself even without getting involved in fights.

However, at that time, the mother and the golden lion were enemies who couldn't stand each other.

Golden Lion thinks Lingling is a crazy woman who is desperately wasting her talent.

The mother, however, thought that the Golden Lion was a stubborn idiot.

Instead of enjoying such a promising future, they chose to cooperate with Roger.

When news broke that the Golden Lion had broken into Marineford's group chat for Roger's sake, Lingling couldn't stop smiling.

What impressed Roman most about this incident was her mother's excited laughter.

However, he was indeed someone even his mother was wary of.

Roman understood this.

She wants to become stronger, and she must become stronger.

Because she and Charlotte are bound to have conflicts in the future.

If you are afraid of the already weakened Golden Lion, then it will be difficult to move forward.

Moreover, she also wanted to take this opportunity to peek into the formidable enemy her mother faced when she was clear-headed.

Golden Lion, let me experience your strength firsthand.
