One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 321 It's stirring.

After a portion of the Baron's tissue entered his body, Roman felt a sense of lightness.

And she felt something was calling to it.

It seems the real entity is itching to make a move.

But it was precisely because of this that she had already sensed its location.

"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to lead the way anymore?"

Seeing that Helix hadn't left yet, Roman spoke up.

"After all, we can't let you go to such a dangerous place alone. I understand your desire to leave, but it really is dangerous."

Helix spoke very sincerely.

No one knows this island better than him.

"You really have a strong sense of responsibility."

Fortunately, because of this, Usopp grew a lot within two years.

Helix truly deserves credit.

"Don't worry, I'm confident."

……

"I wonder where Roman went."

"It is indeed strange, but they should just have gotten separated. She is very strong, Genji, so you don't need to worry."

Although they didn't see Roman, the two weren't too worried.

Roman's skills are not necessarily inferior to the two of them.

Although the island is a bit eerie, Roman is sure he can handle it.

"But, Jiaji, have you noticed? There's always a rustling sound behind it."

"Of course we found it, but it's not an animal, it's a plant." Kakei still had a kind and benevolent look on his face.

"It's like it's conscious; it seems to have been tracking us all along."

"That's right, and I think they have ill intentions towards us and will try every means to prevent us from getting out, just like they are now."

After saying that, Kaji took a few steps back, and the plants that had been holding back suddenly rushed towards Kaji.

However, they all managed to evade their schemes.

"As expected, they won't let us leave easily. Even if we use Moonwalk, I don't think these plants will give up." Looking at the scene, Jiaji said slowly.

As long as the matter doesn't involve the garden, adding a plan is actually quite reliable.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have later become a candidate for general.

His gentle nature and somewhat comical style make him easy to overlook.

"So, little sister Zhiyuan, are you going to force your way out?"

"No, Sister Crane said that everything has a weakness. If you don't find its weakness, you're just wasting your effort."

Jien knew that although it wasn't impossible to force their way out, the best approach was to exploit their weaknesses.

These vines are, in essence, just branches.

Wasting your energy here won't do much good.

Why not just get to the bottom of things and take care of the "mastermind" here, then everything can be over.

"So, let's just go..."

But before they could finish speaking, they heard a frantic scream.

The sound was so loud that people couldn't help but cover their ears, but even so, they couldn't resist it.

Compared to that sound, the sound of a cat's claws scratching at the table was actually quite pleasant.

Although they felt very uncomfortable, Shion and Kake exchanged a knowing glance.

Roman must have played a part in causing this turn of events.

"It seems our juniors were well-prepared." Jien's eyes lit up.

"That's not surprising. After all, this is a place she wanted to come from the beginning, and she probably did a lot of research beforehand. Thinking about it, she's really amazing," Kake sighed.

“However, we should still lend a hand. If he can’t handle it by himself, at least we can help him a little,” Kaji said, looking at Jien.

This made Gion hesitate a bit.

She understood Roman better than Jacques did.

In her opinion, Roman is a girl with many ideas and a good plan.

Crane also admires Roman.

She knew that if it weren't for her request, Roman would have gone on this journey alone.

In other words, Roman should have anticipated the current situation, but she was still prepared to be alone, which shows that she was confident.

Isn't it a bit inappropriate to interfere like this?

Perhaps it's because traveling makes people feel better, but Jien felt that she seemed much more clear-headed.

Becoming stronger should be one's own responsibility, not someone else's obligation.

Roman was certainly not obligated to do anything for her because of what she said.

I admit I was being a bit too persistent.

Because I felt I had hit a bottleneck, I became so anxious that I acted irrationally.

If Sister Crane were here, she would definitely stop me.

Thinking this way, Jien felt her mind become much clearer.

When I see Roman later, I need to find an opportunity to apologize to her.

"Of course we should go find Roman, but I think she can solve the problem without our help."

"Are you sure, Gion?!" Seeing Gion's confident look, Kaji naturally couldn't say anything more.

But this place is definitely not right; if Roman were left alone...

But he soon learned of Roman's methods.

"Is it just my imagination?" Why do I feel like those vines are starting to turn yellow?

Jiaji couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking he was a little dizzy.

"No, it must be true."

Now, the vines in front of Gion and Kakei are turning from emerald green to yellow, and even black, until they disappear completely.

"This……"

Thinking back to what happened just now...

"Walk!!!"

Gion and Kakei are old partners.

The two immediately ran towards the center at full speed.

These vines kept urging them to go deeper into the dense forest.

It's not hard to imagine that the creature's true form must also be there.

Roman naturally got involved in this anomaly.

So what they need to do now is head towards the center.

Then they witnessed an incredible scene.
