One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 631 This is the last act of love and mercy.

Everyone has limitations, which lead to various mistakes and actions. Because I am who I am, I succeed; because you are who you are, you fail. Because we are who we are, we make these choices. Therefore, ultimately, everything in the future, for better or for worse, is shaped by our present actions.

—Roman's Diary

Things that I didn't understand before are now slowly being answered.

Even when you know the road ahead is full of thorns and it's not the best choice for you, your emotions can still influence your decisions.

Katakuri is an example of this.

Roman understood.

She understands, she respects.

The highest form of respect and importance is destruction.

This is her way of paying tribute to Katakuri.

Roman has been intentionally ignoring one thing all along.

The injuries on Sly, Glen, Raven, and Patch were inflicted by Owen, Armand, Smoothie, and Perospero.

But the final blow that delivered the fatal strike to them came from the trident.

Not only the four of them, but also 693 people in the fleet to which the four were originally located died directly from Katakuri's attack.

These are all autopsy reports.

Without a doubt, Katakuri was the real main force in the attack at that time.

They stood at the very end to cover and protect the other civilians as they fled.

However, this also resulted in the complete annihilation of the entire army.

In the end, he did not choose a better path for himself, preferring to continue struggling.

He was already very tired.

For that country.

Exhausted.

Therefore, he could not become king for a long time.

Roman, everyone knows.

Her brother works very hard.

So, I might as well just let him go on his own.

Free him from his shackles.

"But if you've already made up your mind, why did you let Katakuri live!"

"Why don't you take him now? Since you've already decided to abandon the past and give up your past feelings, why not be more decisive?"

That's what Xia Ji asked.

Isn't this more suitable?

Now that she's made up her mind, wouldn't it be better to deal with the other party more easily?

Moreover, this choice is more in line with Roman's style.

“That’s a good question! Shirley, the answer is quite simple, of course, because I still have feelings for Katakuri. At the very least, I don’t want him to die so suddenly.”

Because of love, I show mercy.

Because of his reason, Roman knew what he should do.

“I have blessed him, and he will be with them forever.”

Roman looked at the sky with an unprecedented level of piety.

Fight bravely in your own country, until the very end.

And they were buried in their homeland with their loved ones, to sleep forever.

This is a good ending, isn't it?

At the very least, this shouldn't be his burial place.

His love, his memories, everything about him should be in his homeland.

"I hope I won't regret the choice I made today."

……

The wounds on his body were so deep that the bone was visible.

Once he regained consciousness, Katakuri immediately took emergency measures to treat himself.

After bandaging it again and again, the bleeding was finally stopped.

That sword strike just now almost cleaved his body in two.

Katakuri endured excruciating pain while trying to think.

So much happened today.

The words of the fortune teller.

My sister's choice.

My own future.

That was the attack I just used.

All the words and experiences left Katakuri's thoughts somewhat confused.

Perhaps this is just confusion caused by excessive blood loss.

His injuries had rendered him somewhat unable to think.

However, Katakuri was filled with unease.

Who attacked me just now?

Even his own Observation Haki didn't detect it.

What is the purpose?

Want to kill him?

But I'm still alive!

It was such a good opportunity.

Who is it?

A mermaid conspiracy?

But how dare they threaten me?

They even set their sights on Totland.

Katakuri couldn't figure it out.

But when he tried to find other clues, the place was already deserted.

Only a pile of packaged desserts remained intact.

It seems she was waiting for him.

Then Katakuri saw a note.

The words were written in blurry handwriting:

This is the last love.
