One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 622

A sweet mousse cake paired with a cup of fresh fruit tea.

There was also a basket of fresh, juicy fruit that had been washed.

Roman ate while waiting for the person next to him to continue.

You seem to be in a good mood!

"I'm in a great mood after my vacation! Don't you think so?"

"Sounds good, but Sakazuki isn't in a good mood."

"That's understandable. Marineford is all Marines, it would be strange if there was a pirate among them. But it's good, there always needs to be some change! If everyone were like you, unchanging, wouldn't that be terrible?"

Roman still looked at Kizaru with a mocking expression.

Thanks to the calm seas, Marineford enjoyed a rare period of relaxation.

So a leisurely afternoon is certainly a time to relax.

But that was before he met Kizaru.

What should have been a beautiful afternoon turned sour when Roman saw the orange peel.

Because she didn't believe it was a coincidence.

It's 3 p.m.

Kizaru, who likes to slack off, probably enjoys his afternoon tea in the office.

In particular, Roman saw new Darjeeling tea in his office yesterday.

Why is he not in his office during such a leisurely time, but instead at the beach?

The saying goes, "No one visits the Three Treasures Hall without a reason."

They came for me.

It wasn't for Mihawk.

Kizaru is not Akainu.

There are plenty of people who want to get involved in Mihawk's affairs at Marineford, so why would he take the initiative?

So it's something else.

Realizing this, Roman didn't hesitate to peel the orange he was holding.

They wouldn't stop until they made its wrinkles look like those of a juvenile.

Of course, this obvious and blatant action was seen completely by Kizaru.

But he only frowned slightly.

He knew Roman's personality all too well.

At this point, it's best to pretend you didn't see it.

"So, what exactly do you want to see me about?"

After a few sarcastic remarks and a hand gesture, Roman finally got down to business with Kizaru.

Neither Roman nor Kizaru is confused.

They both knew they had their own agendas.

"I heard something!"

"please continue."

"Have you mastered Sword?"

sword.

The intelligence organization that Roman originally proposed.

The main members are second-generation military personnel.

It is called gilding.

This is how they obtained permission from the World Government.

It has been almost ten years now.

The nominal leader is Garp.

The commander is Aokiji.

Of course, while the power of the two individuals mentioned above was absolute, their personalities rendered that power merely nominal.

Therefore, a de facto controller emerged: Black Dragon Roman.

Admiral Kizaru was certainly aware of this matter.

The higher-ups can't hide it from them.

It all depends on whether they are willing to play dumb.

"The Intelligence Department and the Science Department have always performed their respective duties and have not interfered with each other."

Roman did not answer the question directly.

Instead, she cleverly took advantage of the unspoken rules that everyone accepted.

The generals were in charge of different departments.

They keep to themselves and don't interfere with each other.

After all, this is a matter of personal power.

They rarely interfere with each other.

To put it more bluntly, Roman meant: What does my work have to do with you?

Kizaru, of course, understood as well.

But he deliberately pretended not to notice.

"Sword has been a bit more active lately, especially since you came back from your vacation."

This is unusual.

The activity of intelligence agencies usually foreshadows unrest.

It can also be seen as preparation for a major battle.

However, the defeats of Beasts and Charlotte in the New World campaign brought the situation to a more stable state.

Kizaru couldn't understand why the members of Sword were so active.

After learning who was actually in control, Kizaru felt even more uneasy.

Roman is quite bold in his actions.

What's even more outrageous is that she can actually do it.

In short, there's nothing she wouldn't dare to do, only things they wouldn't dare to think about.

It seems there's nothing she can't do.

There must be a deeper meaning behind her doing this.

Why do you always think of me as so terrible!

You don't even need to think about how terrible you are.

Kizaru added in his mind.

"Of course, you are very perceptive."

Roman suddenly laughed.

She suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Aokiji valued her gentleness.

Akainu admired her decisiveness.

But Kizaru knows her best.

Knowing her most authentic self.

That's not bad either.

"So what exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing that Roman had admitted it, Kizaru was not happy.

"Oh, don't worry too much about that. It's a good thing for the navy."

Roman's smile was exceptionally bright as he looked at Kizaru.
