One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 504 The Cunning Charlotte

Charlotte Lingling did not directly participate in the battle, which Roman speculated was probably related to her physical condition.

She was, after all, already in her sixties.

Even if she's a monster, she's now an extremely elderly pregnant woman.

Although she did have a record of being pregnant and fighting fiercely on the front lines.

But that was more than ten years ago.

She is currently pregnant with the last child of her life.

It may also be the most dangerous pregnancy.

Considering the actual situation, she really couldn't go into battle immediately.

In other words, command of the battle will fall to Katakuri.

After all, he was the heart and soul of the Charlotte family.

However, if Katakuri is in charge now, he cannot directly negotiate with Kaido.

Because that's not realistic.

Kaido would never condescend to discuss details with Katakuri.

If it really happens.

That's no longer a discussion, but a direct order.

Katakuri would probably avoid this situation as well.

Therefore, the most likely scenario is that Katakuri and Jhin will connect.

Therefore, Roman's plan was to do everything possible to eavesdrop on the two people's Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

However, even without listening in, she could probably guess.

What is the biggest issue that the other party is concerned about right now?

That is, when will the Navy's admiral-level combat forces be deployed?

Of course, they are not the only ones concerned about this issue.

The navy is also very concerned.

After all, the situation in the new world is not optimistic.

It is also a fact that the forces of justice suffered repeated defeats.

However, in principle, although generals cannot be deployed at will, Roman and Garp are outside the rules.

However, Sengoku did not directly use himself and Garp.

If the New World were to be taken over by himself and Garp, it would undoubtedly be much easier.

However, even the easiest measures at present seem to face resistance.

There is no other reason.

This matter involves too many countries.

This is where the Charlotte family's cunning lies.

They did it on purpose.

Once politics gets involved, things become much more complicated.

Pirates can be fought.

But kings and queens won't obediently listen.

After all, the military power of the navy and the monarchy of the country have almost no overlap.

Their connection is the world government.

World government deterrence is still needed.

Therefore, in the end, the government's power is still needed.

Although, in principle, it is true that the two have formed an alliance.

However, the mother's absence is both an advantage and a problem.

If there is only one Emperor-level warrior, then the power of the alliance will be greatly reduced.

The pressure on the navy will decrease.

However, without the pressure from the mother, the World Government might not believe the Navy's conclusion.

This is probably the situation Katakuri wanted.

In all things, let the beasts go first.

However, the four-person group and the four little ones have already been arranged to enter the new world.

A new battle has begun.

Roman could only hope that they were safe and sound.

The battlefields of the New World are far more bloody than those of the first half of the Grand Line.

Injury or death are both possible.

But instead of worrying like that, it's better to do something more meaningful.

"The Charlotte Family's advantage lies in intelligence and logistics, while the Beasts Pirates' current advantage lies in combat strength and endurance."

"Currently, the two are working together to achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of their parts, but this situation is not stable because we haven't committed our full combat power yet. If this were the case, what would you do?"

Aokiji: "Emmm... Are you sure you want to ask me this kind of question?"

“At times like these, even a stone on the roadside has value. You have to be a little stronger than a stone, at least you can speak.”

Aokiji: "..."

Roman didn't realize how hurtful his words were at all; instead, he continued to argue vehemently.

"Actually, to be honest, whether it's us or them, we all know very well that neither of us can defeat the other right now, and the current battle is only temporary."

Are Charlotte and Kaido both causing trouble in order to defeat and destroy the Navy?

how can that be possible?

An army that has existed for 800 years cannot be wiped out so easily.

Ultimately, their fighting was nothing more than pursuing their own desires.

One side wants more territory.

One side wanted to vent their madness.

However, they are all desires in one's heart.

Therefore, winning or losing is not important.

What matters is what they can get before it ends.

Compared to Kaido, Charlotte would be at a greater disadvantage.

Because my mother did not participate in the war directly.

That's why Katakuri used a roundabout approach.

However, this is not a long-term solution.

So if that's the case.

Therefore, they need helpers to achieve their goals.

Especially when your own family members are being very unreliable...
