One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 128 When you're traveling, your identity is something you give yourself.

Queen appeared at G5 Fortress, King appeared at G4 Fortress, and Kaido appeared at G3 Fortress.

In response to this situation, the Warring States period had already been able to rank casualties.

G3 > G5 > G4.

Although according to the Navy's official statement, Jhin is indeed more powerful than Quinn, Quinn's wide-area weapons are devastating to the human body.

If someone is injured but still has a breath left, they can usually be saved. However, if someone is poisoned and there is no antidote, they simply cannot survive.

"Roman, if you have the chance, evacuate G5 fortress quickly. You are no match for Quinn." This was Sengoku's reminder to Roman, or perhaps a gentle order.

"Understood." That was Roman's reply.

He neither immediately agreed nor refused.

Of course, Roman had his reasons for this.

If things go smoothly, she certainly wouldn't mind leaving. She's only here to act as an inspector; she doesn't need to fight tooth and nail to defend the fortress.

But leaving now is not a good option.

At least Kaido isn't here, but if he leaves rashly and encounters Kaido again, Roman feels his life is probably in danger.

It's better to ensure the safety of your current territory.

Despite the navy's fierce firepower, the accuracy was truly appalling, and with the valiant attacks of the soldiers, the distance between the ship's sides began to close.

"We can finally have some real chaos!" The members of Kaido's pirate crew, dressed like Vikings, excitedly boarded the warship and began fighting with melee weapons, quickly gaining the upper hand.

Engaging in close combat with Zoan Devil Fruit users to wear them down is generally not a good idea.

Roman, still in the fortress, looked at the chaotic battlefield on the sea and fell into deep thought.

It's wartime now, so we can't worry about too much. Although we just warned the naval personnel going into battle to wear gas masks or protective suits, such an option might impair their close-combat capabilities.

However, without it, Quinn's bioweapons could harvest an even more staggering number of lives.

However, Quinn's continued inaction surprised Roman.

This sense of urgency, this feeling of not knowing when a surprise attack might occur from the shadows, made Roman a little worried.

It is said that to catch the thief, you must first catch the king. Once Quinn is taken down, the rest will only be some real fighting and will not pose much of a threat to the G5 fortress as a whole.

So we still need to acquire Quinn as soon as possible?

……

"Hey, hey, I'm telling you..." Looking at the tense situation on the battlefield not far away, Quinn showed no sign of trouble, but had already made up his mind.

If there were an easier way, he would definitely try it.

"Lord Quinn, what are your orders?"

"Launch this poison gas bomb onto that warship."

After saying that, Quinn took out his treasure, his newly developed biological weapon.

It is fast-acting but has a high mortality rate.

Consider this a gift for the Navy.

Let that arrogant Jhin see the power of his weapon.

"Yes." Upon receiving the order, the subordinate immediately sprang into action.

Following a beautiful arc, the miniature shells loaded with poison gas hurtled towards a warship that had not yet been captured. Once a collision occurred, the Grim Reaper's scythe was already ready to strike.

However, this deadly move was destroyed by a sharp slash.

In a short while, the cut-open shell shattered into countless fragments, and the toxic gas dispersed into the air, but because it was still far away, it could not cause any harm to people.

Flying slash, it seems there are some pretty good swordsmen in the Navy?

Quinn was slightly annoyed to see his work destroyed.

"Who was the fool who did this? Don't think you'll get away with it."

"That's right, that's right! Who was this blind bastard who did this, daring to block Lord Quinn? Even though Lord Quinn's inventions are unreliable, they can't be destroyed..."

"Shut up."

Sure enough, clowns exist everywhere.

Roman was traveling on a small military vessel this time.

It can only accommodate about 60 or 70 people.

It's not much bigger than the Going Merry the Straw Hat crew originally sailed on.

Based on its design, if hit by a few shells, this ship would be in danger of breaking apart. However, its small size has its advantages. It is highly maneuverable, fast, and difficult to spot due to altitude differences.

The Wanlong was even larger than a warship, and most of its crew were focused on preparing for battle, so they didn't even notice that the small warship Roman was on had come so close.

In naval battles, there's no need to defeat Quinn; simply destroying his ships will suffice.

With this in mind, Roman, having confirmed that the ship was within her attack range, began her fierce counterattack.

The sudden rocking of the ship made Queen feel uneasy; Devil Fruit users are always extremely sensitive to the movements of the sea.

"Lord Quinn, there's a small warship over there that looks strange. There's a navy officer with it, and it seems like they're up to something."

"what?"

Quinn, who already had a bad feeling, immediately shifted his gaze and looked in the direction his subordinate was pointing.

On the turbulent sea, the small warship looked insignificant, but Quinn sensed a threat emanating from it.

The person on the ship, exuding a fierce aura, wore a gas mask and protective clothing. Not only were her face indistinct, but even her figure was blurred, making it difficult for Quinn to discern her identity for a moment.

However, judging from the long, black sword in her hand, it was likely her who had broken the slashing technique he invented earlier.

"Hey, who are you? I haven't heard of any new swordsmen in the Navy." Just like the Navy knows about pirates, pirates also know about a few powerful figures.

Based on the naval personnel, one could roughly determine whether a battle was possible or whether to simply pack up and run away.

However, Roman always paid attention to concealing part of her appearance when she was out in public, and Sengoku also temporarily protected her information for her safety.

At this moment, Quinn is still trying to figure out who the person who came is.

If it were Gion, it would indeed be a bit of a problem, but Gion is definitely much bigger than that, and besides, what she's carrying doesn't seem to be a famous sword.

It's best not to say anything unnecessary on the battlefield.

Especially pressing for the enemy's identity. Quinn did ask anyway; perhaps scientists aren't very good at social niceties.

“Joracol Mihawk,” Roman replied, deliberately speaking in a rough voice.

I can tell you, but I'm not going to tell the truth.

"Hey, Navy Hunter, what's going on? You've joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea? I haven't heard anything about that. Never mind, are you going to make a move? That would be making an enemy of the Beasts Pirates."

However, he was met with countless sharp slashes.

One knife flow - water explosion.

The seawater within a radius of fifty meters began to surge violently, with a rumbling sound that filled people with fear and unease, as the waves rushed toward the Wanlong.

The combined force of countless water droplets can be fatal to the human body.

After sensing the power of the opponent's attack, Quinn's expression also turned ugly.
