One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 617 Why didn't you think I was too young back then?

"I can only say that his eyes are very determined, but he is too young."

Mihawk glanced at Guina for a few seconds, then looked away and turned back to Roman.

"Why do you say that? When we had our first big fight, I was much younger than her, but you didn't mind."

Roman didn't hesitate to delve into the past.

At that time, Mihawk was only in his twenties.

And I can only be considered a child.

But Mihawk paid no attention to this and attacked immediately.

Like a mad dog, it bites anyone it sees.

At the time, I didn't think she was young.

"Times have changed."

Mihawk simply said that.

He was too young back then.

Besides the red-haired man, he naturally longed for other rivals as well.

Therefore, they accept almost anyone who comes.

However, as he delved deeper into the art of swordsmanship, fewer and fewer people became worthy opponents.

Especially after the red-haired man's left hand was cut off by the black dragon in front of him.

Mihawk also once found himself in a predicament where he had no suitable opponents.

So since the black dragon is still here and safe, he naturally wouldn't go looking for something far away.

As for promising talents like Guina, he doesn't think much of them for the time being.

Even if she could threaten me, it would only be in the future.

He wants the present.

Once that girl truly reaches the pinnacle, I will naturally compete with her again.

Now, it's not necessary.

However, Guina felt that she had been slighted.

Her face was full of stubbornness as she continued to stare at Mihawk.

She's always been like that.

She herself is aware that there are extreme aspects to her personality.

This is also her weakness.

Even Lieutenant General Heilong has said that he has a stubborn personality.

My father thought so too.

But Guina still refused to admit defeat when facing Mihawk.

"It seems you've got too high of an opinion."

What a pretentious act.

Isn't it because she's become so powerful that she looks down on Kuina now?

Roman thought to himself.

“Mihawk, don’t forget the path we came from. Whether it’s you, me, or anyone else, we must move forward step by step.”

“I have never forgotten, but I have no obligation to help them walk. In the end, we all have to walk our own path.”

Mihawk remained unmoved.

"Then I'll ask you for help. Could you please mentor a few of my students? Kuina is actually a good fit for your path."

Roman's tone softened considerably.

This surprised everyone present.

Especially Mihawk.

I never imagined she would go to such lengths for her students.

"You seem to have changed somewhat. Is it because of them?"

In the past, Black Dragon would never have spoken to him like that.

And she was also in the navy.

"After all, I hope they can live longer. And you might be able to help them."

These words reminded the four children of those four people.

As for Gion, she also realized something.

So I won't say any more.

So, what do you say?

Roman sat up straight and looked directly at Mihawk.

After all, her swordsmanship was too unique and not very easy to learn.

At the same time, her combat skills are also highly dependent on her own unique characteristics.

Therefore, the help provided to the four, especially Kuina, was extremely limited.

However, Mihawk is different.

He is a true swordsman.

All methods ultimately stem from the same principle.

Even without the swordsmanship, Mihawk's own combat skills can greatly benefit Binz and Drake.

At the same time, Gion also provides opportunities for observation and learning.

Of course, the most important thing is yourself.

She also wanted to see what was different about Mihawk's black knife.

Since things have come to this, I naturally have to see for myself.

"Of course, I won't let you teach me for nothing. I've recently learned some new techniques. Would you like to take a look?"

Finally, Roman cast his bait.

This is what Mihawk values ​​most.

Far surpassing all words.

"really?"

"Of course!"

"it is good!"

"agreed?"

"nature."

Mihawk values ​​Roman's benefits the most.

The more she moves forward, the more paths she has ahead of her.

The person walking ahead of you represents a much greater distance.

Therefore, it is certainly worth the effort.

"Then please proceed to the training ground!"
