One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 177 This guy is being indecent in front of beautiful women.

“ZZZZZZZ…”

Everyone looked at the man Roman dragged over with puzzled expressions. Come to think of it, how could he possibly fall asleep while being dragged all the way?

Roman could only sigh helplessly at this situation.

Although no one expected Kuzan to leave a great impression on the fishmen, this "sleeping god" image is still quite outrageous.

So she immediately spoke up: "Lieutenant General Kuzan, please wake up, don't forget you promised me..."

Finally, with Roman's persistent shaking, Kuzan slowly woke up from his deep sleep.

"Oh my, is it lunchtime?" Kuzan said, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth.

Everyone: "..."

Ah Long couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Lieutenant General, you haven't forgotten the important business we're supposed to be doing, have you?" Roman's expression was unfriendly.

Roman thought long and hard because he needed to train the residents of Fishman Island.

However, she felt it would be unwise to go it alone. Since she was essentially helping Kuzan, Kuzan certainly couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

But considering Kuzan's lazy and unmotivated appearance, Roman had to offer a little benefit along with a bit of coercion.

This personnel reshuffle also brought Roman back to Kuzan's side, making Kuzan's adjutant Hans so happy he couldn't sleep, because he knew that the person who got things done had returned.

If no one helps him, Kuzan's office will eventually become his graveyard.

Therefore, Roman quickly formed a united front with Hans, demanding that Kuzan contribute to the incident, otherwise both of them would consider going on strike.

Of course, there were benefits too; Roman also bought five bottles of sherry to bribe Kuzan.

Although Kuzan wasn't interested in this kind of thing, since his important adjutant and Roman, who had to work so hard for him, had both agreed, Kuzan had no choice but to agree.

However, when Kuzan woke up the next day, he happily forgot about it.

However, Roman seemed to have anticipated this, and after persistently knocking on Kuzan's door for ten minutes, he finally managed to get the big shot out. Then he had Kuzan stay at the meeting place Roman had designated.

After settling Kuzan in, Roman hurriedly went to buy some delicious food.

However, during this lull, Kuzan's sleepiness returned until Roman woke him up.

"Of course I remember, it was... ah, I forgot, never mind, it probably wasn't anything important." Kuzan scratched his head.

“Lieutenant General, in that case, please don’t expect me to remember to handle your documents in the future.” Roman smiled “kindly.”

"Oh dear, how heartless! I know, I know, I'll handle this matter well, but you always do things that are beyond imagination!"

Do you think it's terrible?

"No, not really. I'm just surprised you could do it, considering Fishman Island is almost completely isolated from the world and has no contact with humans."

"Whether it will succeed or not, we'll only know after we do it, so now is your time to show your abilities," Roman urged hastily.

"What impatient young ladies they are, but they seem quite well-behaved to me."

"Hey, hey, hey, how long are you two going to keep whispering? Roman, I thought you found some powerful figure. A lazybones? You expect him to help you? Is this what you call the Navy?" Arlong provoked again.

“They are indeed very ‘well-behaved’.” Roman nodded in agreement, but couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

"That's going too far, young man. How can you judge a book by its cover? Besides, my motto as a member of the Navy is to uphold the spirit of laziness." Clearly, this verbal reprimand was just a minor blow to the thick-skinned Kuzan.

"Although I don't want to interfere too much, if I continue to be so lazy, my important subordinates will go on strike, and then I'll be in big trouble. So I'd better be more serious."

After saying that, Kuzan's aura suddenly changed. His usually lazy eyes were now full of coldness, and this coldness was reflected back to the many mermaids and fishmen.

The chill Ah Long felt deepened, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.

This man is stronger than that girl named Roman.

Ah Long could sense that it seemed the other party could eliminate him with just a breath.

Even so, Ah Long refused to admit defeat, especially in front of humans whom he had always looked down upon.

As expected of the future world government's top combat force, even when it wasn't aimed at him, Roman felt the temperature in the air plummet, and the floating water vapor seemed to turn into tiny ice crystals.

Is it possible to achieve this without the ability to activate it?

We really shouldn't underestimate the previous era!

Before the Age of Exploration, Red Earl was still wandering around, the Flying Pirates were still famous, Whitebeard was not so settled, and the Roger Pirates had not yet disbanded.

To be able to fight back against these powerful pirates and survive until now, Kuzan must have extraordinary potential; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stand out from millions of marines.

"Your bet was that if we proved we had a way to control you from entering the water, you would obediently listen to us, right?" Kuzan said slowly, remembering Roman's instructions.

“That’s right.” Ah Long comforted himself. Even if he was strong, he was still just a human who couldn’t breathe underwater.

“Now you can try to escape into the sea, and then I will stop you.” With that, Kuzan gestured for him to enter.

"Hmph." Ah Long was clearly not going to be polite.

No matter what, once you're in the water, it's your own world.

After saying that, Aron quickly moved towards the shore, but he was surprised to find that Kuzan was not moving at all, and he could see Kuzan more clearly.

"The Ice Age".

Suddenly, a string of icicles extended from Kuzan's hand, heading directly towards the sea.

Sensing danger, Ah Long quickly dodged the ice pillar, only to be stunned in the next instant.

The moment the icicle touched the sea, the sea began to freeze rapidly around it, and the freezing was unstoppable until the entire viewpoint was transformed into an ocean of ice.

"That's incredible."

"Is this something a human can do?"

"It only lasted for a moment."

……

"You should be satisfied with this level, right?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant General, you..."

"Ah, what a beautiful lady. Are you free tonight?" Roman's gaze had barely shifted when he noticed that Kuzan was entangled with a beautiful mermaid lady.

Oh, I almost forgot, this guy isn't very serious around pretty girls.

Roman quickly pushed Kuzan aside and hurriedly explained to the beautiful mermaid: He meant to compliment your looks, he had no other ill intentions.

Faced with a powerful but eccentric lieutenant general, the beautiful mermaid remained speechless for a long time.

It seems the first impression was completely ruined.

"Oh, Lieutenant General, I forgot to mention something!"

"Is there anything else?" Kuzan, who had been knocked down by Roman, simply settled into a comfortable position and prepared to go to sleep.

"It's because of this frozen sea area near Marineford that you'll be in trouble. Sorry, I just remembered."

Kuzan: "..."
