One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 429 I have complete confidence in you

"What exactly is going on?"

The golden lion frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene before him.

If he hadn't been certain that he hadn't left his house for a long time, he really wouldn't have known that he was currently on the island he occupied.

The island is in chaos.

In just one day, all sorts of plants have grown here.

And somehow, a large patch of thorns appeared here.

They bound Draft Green tightly, like ropes.

Instead of fiercely releasing toxins, they now look like defeated victims, weak and haggard.

The grassland was covered with strangely shaped plants.

They were even fighting.

That's right, fighting.

The Golden Lion was lame, but he wasn't blind.

Although it does seem a bit unbelievable, the fact before him was that all sorts of strange plants were fighting each other fiercely.

Even many rare animals were affected.

Some were skinned alive and had their tendons pulled out; some died on the spot; and some were imprisoned, unable to escape, and looked utterly haggard.

But what exactly happened?

What exactly happened on this island in just one day?

However, the Golden Lion is indeed the Golden Lion; he has seen far too many ups and downs along the way.

Even if one remains dormant for now, one's knowledge and experience often grow richer with age.

His first thought was that someone was behind it.

Although we don't know the specific methods the other party used, one fact is clear: the troublemakers have already gone to the island and are hiding.

He was also very cunning.

Everything on the island was made into a mess.

In such a situation, let alone finding someone, even getting around would be a hassle.

The golden lion noticed that plants had begun to entwine around the swords at his feet.

But with a flash of silver light, the plants below were torn to pieces.

But what's unsettling is that its vitality hasn't been extinguished.

And soon it began to take root again and regain its vitality.

It seems the person behind this is quite capable and resourceful.

After being bored in the East China Sea for so long, is there finally something new to do?

The Golden Lion was in no hurry to find this person.

Because he believed that this person would appear sooner or later.

Otherwise, the fact that he went to such great lengths to come in and create these things couldn't possibly be just for fun.

He must have his own motives.

Bring it on, does he think the Golden Lion is afraid of this?

"Captain, what should we do? These plants might affect the harvesting of draft green." The crew hesitated for a moment, but still spoke in trembling voices.

The Golden Lion was a capricious man, and he was truly afraid that after he finished speaking, a cold glint would flash before his eyes.

They hadn't even noticed this change all night.

But the captain's expression didn't seem angry.

"What does it matter? We can do it after that bastard shows up."

The Golden Lion wasn't in a hurry for the mission to progress.

In his vision, this was originally a grand plan that would take several years to complete.

It doesn't matter whether it's a few days later or a few days earlier.

He also sensed something unusual about it.

It felt like an old friend had come to visit.

Who is it?

But none of that matters.

Bring it on!

……

Shiki the Golden Lion is more composed than I expected.

Roman was somewhat impressed by Shiki's decision to remain inactive.

He's definitely an old fox.

He wanted to respond to all changes by remaining unchanged.

He knew that the enemy was in the open while he was in the dark, and that a rash attack would only play into their hands.

So Shiki, who had plenty of time, chose to wait.

Anyway, he has plenty of time.

His hopes of using these plants to control some of his subordinates appear to have been dashed.

Once you venture deeper into the forest, you'll find yourself on the battlefield of Roman's battleground.

Even if Shiki had the Float-Float Fruit, he could hold him off, but if the other party didn't fall for it, there was nothing he could do.

And the Golden Lion's choice was indeed correct.

If we're talking about patience and time, Roman is definitely more anxious.

After all, the news about the black market had already been released.

Although the Tree of Adam is hard to find, it could appear at any time.

I can't afford to waste time with the Golden Lion.

Since the golden lion is not moving, then I will move on my own.

Every person has a few weaknesses and a few things they are persistent about.

In the face of these powerful individuals, strength only intensified their resolve.

The same applies to the Golden Lion.

Could he still be so calm and collected back then?

Thinking this, Roman looked at Bucky.

When Roman looked at him, Bucky felt a cold sweat break out all over his body.

Since arriving on the island, he has lived cautiously, like a dead man.

He was afraid that Roman would speak to him.

But what is meant to be a blessing will not be a curse, and what is meant to be a curse cannot be avoided.

Even if he was terrified, what was coming would still come.

"Bucky, believe me, you're incredibly talented at this."

I don't believe you for a second.

You are the one who wants me to die.

"So you must have been mentally prepared, right?"

I do not have.

Don't talk nonsense.

"You must be very, very confident."

I lack confidence.

You're trying to kill me.

Despite inwardly shaking his head in despair, Bucky dared not utter a single word in front of the approaching Roman.

Bucky: ?(；′Д｀?) Help!
