One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 448 Soon, they will let me come back.

"This is outrageous! How could the Fleet Admiral agree to this? Tina is furious. And now you're stuck in the East Blue? They really..."

"Well, Tina, there's no need for that. I think the environment in the East Blue is quite nice, like a vacation. Actually, this is a pretty good holiday."

Unlike the indignant Tina, Roman was quite relaxed and at ease.

"Roman, are you really alright?"

Judging from the Den Den Mushi's expression, Roman seemed to be really alright, but Tina still felt indignant on Roman's behalf.

The headquarters, Marineford, is far superior to any branch in the East China Sea.

Many people were desperate to stay in Marineford because it offered the best platform for the Navy's development.

Being transferred from headquarters to the East China Sea branch could be considered an exile.

This is a significant blow to a navy.

Tina had always felt that Smoker might be at risk.

But to everyone's surprise, Smoker was still safe and sound at headquarters, while the titled Roman was exiled.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, really, I'm quite at ease."

Roman was telling the truth.

Although it was exile, it was a result of her own actions.

Moreover, compared to her treatment, she's practically a local tyrant here.

The branch she was affiliated with, like other branches across the country, had a highest-ranking officer who was a colonel.

Although she was transferred to a different post, her military rank remained that of a general.

This meant that the branch leaders at the base had to constantly watch their step and be mindful of her mood.

She can decide for herself whether to attend meetings or participate in activities.

Even if they were missing for more than ten days, the base commander didn't dare to ask about it.

And you can still get your salary without fail.

It was truly exhilarating.

So strictly speaking, she's actually doing quite well.

"That puts my mind at ease. But Tina is worried. Although everyone says the East Blue is peaceful, it seems a strange clown has appeared and killed the Golden Lion."

"Ah, you mean this? Of course I know, it seems to have caused quite a stir. But it's not a big deal, after all, this sea has always been a place that devours people."

She had already anticipated the effects of the shock when she handed the Golden Lion's body over to the Navy.

"You're in the East Blue now, so be careful. Although he dealt with the Golden Lion, it's still unclear whether he's friend or foe. Tina heard that a lot of people are looking for him now."

"I understand, I'll be careful." Roman smiled as he glanced at the clown who was only a few meters away, then hung up the phone.

"Someone like you gets exiled by the Navy?" Buggy couldn't help but ask after hearing the contents of the Den Den Mushi.

"What, do you find it strange, Bucky?"

"Hmph, you must have done something big."

Pakki already knew something about Roman.

The fact that a navy with such qualifications was sent to the East China Sea suggests that they were likely involved in some kind of political struggle.

"I never thought you'd be at a disadvantage." Even the fearless Black Dragon has its moments of weakness.

"After all, I can't fight city hall, and I'm still far from being able to compete. But it's okay, I shouldn't be too long before I go back."

what?

Bucky looked at Roman's confident demeanor and felt extremely uneasy.

He had seen naval forces like Roman's before.

After all, the East China Sea is a stable sea area, and many people use it as a place of exile for dealing with certain troublesome naval personnel.

Because they lost the political struggle and because of their limited strength, they couldn't easily expel the navy, so they made the East China Sea their retirement home.

A navy officer who suffers such a fate can generally say that his life is over.

Because of their frustration and lack of success, most of them have become irritable.

Although there is still a chance to go back, the chances are slim.

Honestly, even someone with Roman's level of combat strength would probably need to reflect on his actions in the East China Sea for a few years before he could return.

But she's so confident, does she have some brilliant plan?

"Actually, there's no brilliant plan; it's mainly because I have connections." As if he could read Bucky's mind, Roman answered directly.

puff! ! !

Bucky almost threw up all the water he had drunk.

That's quite an unexpected answer.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

As long as the navy still has ambitions, how could it possibly leave such combat power unused?

Now that Roman has been exiled to the East China Sea, wouldn't it be a huge favor for the people above to do her a favor by bringing her back?

Considering Roman's fighting prowess, Bucky felt it was worthwhile.

Seeing Bucky's comical appearance, Roman continued his workout in a cheerful mood.

It's true that there are people in power there.

But if she wants to go back, she doesn't need to rely on them.

If things go smoothly, she will be recalled soon.

Moreover, it will be the World Government that personally agrees to let her return.
