One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 523 A Powerful Showdown with Shanks

"They say that someone like you can only unleash your full potential when you have companions by your side. It seems that now is the time when you are at your weakest."

"My companions are still here."

Shanks lit up, and Griffin appeared.

"Ha! Speechless. They can even treat a knife as a companion."

Although he was making sarcastic remarks, Roman's knife was not idle either, and he launched a direct attack.

Even though he had made preparations, Shanks was still forced back by the overwhelming power.

No matter how many times I've experienced it, it still feels outrageous!

This is simply unstoppable.

The black dragon was incredibly strong.

"You swam for so long, you must have had a lot of rest. Unlike you, I got a good rest."

Seeing Shanks's embarrassed expression, Roman let out a wicked laugh.

But the next second...

A powerful Conqueror's Haki immediately appeared.

Black energy continued to emanate from Shanks' body.

Space itself is also distorted.

The ground is also cracking.

"vomit……"

Tina, who was in the distance, almost threw up.

I broke out in a cold sweat.

Even his hands were trembling.

That pirate's strength...

Even though he wasn't in good condition, his domineering aura was just too exaggerated.

Tina felt very dizzy.

My vision is blurry.

Pirates in the New World are indeed monsters.

I can't get involved in this kind of battle.

But Roman will definitely win.

She is also the pride of the Navy.

"You've definitely gotten stronger!"

Even Roman would feel uncomfortable facing Shanks' domineering presence so directly.

His sheer presence alone is enough to conquer a group of people with his domineering aura.

This is Shanks.

There was no fruit.

They don't have a monstrous physique.

It can be said that Shanks was the closest to a human among the original Four Emperors.

But even so, he could still become the emperor of the sea.

He relied not on anything else, but on his unparalleled domineering presence.

The Conqueror's Haki on him truly became the aura of a king.

Anyone who has experienced him will not doubt Shanks's qualifications.

This is indeed the chosen one.

The candidate for king.

Unfortunately, Roman didn't believe in fate.

And I'm not someone to be trifled with.

At the same time, Roman also unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.

He began to launch a relentless psychological attack on Shanks.

And thus, it devoured his domineering aura.

Since that's already the case.

Let's see who's better.

Feeling the pressure from the black dragon, Shanks could only smile bitterly to himself.

In terms of speed, Black Dragon has the upper hand.

Their strength is unmatched.

Physique: Black Dragon's physique, given his Devil Fruit abilities, is definitely not ordinary.

In terms of swordsmanship, they are probably evenly matched.

The only power he possessed that surpassed hers was his domineering aura.

Conqueror's Haki.

He had witnessed firsthand how Captain Roger used them since he was a child.

Captain Roger and First Mate Raleigh were happy to impart their knowledge to them.

Therefore, before Shanks developed the Conqueror's Haki of a chosen one, he already had a thorough understanding of how to use Haki.

This also allows him to unleash his full power by leveraging his domineering presence.

It was also because he had known about it for a long time that Shanks had conceived of it.

These teachings were indeed very useful to him, and he was even able to inflict real damage on himself using his Conqueror's Haki.

However, despite this.

Shanks also vaguely sensed the pressure that the black dragon exerted on his Haki.

The black dragon has been growing wildly, like a black hole.

And he felt it too.

Her domineering aura was absorbing her own domineering aura.

The stronger her domineering aura, the better it is for her.

She can instead use the pressure to grow even more wildly.

Realizing this, Shanks used a slash to create distance.

"Did you notice it? That's amazing! Most people wouldn't be able to sense it."

Once they have mastered the art of plundering, others are almost unaware of it.

But Shanks seems to be overly perceptive.

He created distance to stop himself from continuing to plunder.

But even if we find out, what can we do?

In the firelight, Roman's expression was exceptionally radiant and passionate.

But the gazes were still filled with mockery.

"As expected, you're still as terrifying as ever!"

Shanks took a deep breath.

What a formidable opponent.

I don't know how Captain Roger could consider Garp a close friend.

The more Shanks interacted with the black dragon, the more he felt he was losing his composure.

She is indeed too difficult to deal with.

Perhaps, he will also be the most formidable opponent of his life.

After all, this is certainly not her limit.

However, it is also not my limit.

But now that it's started, it should end decisively.

Then, Shanks' eyes sharpened.

Immediately, a violent and domineering aura radiated outwards from him.

Similarly, Roman retaliated in the same way.

The two black streams collided.
