One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 309 I Know You Know

However, while being able to fly is advantageous, it also leaves the enemy with a clear indication of their primary attack position.

Roman felt that Whiteybe already knew how to deal with her.

Just like Roman thought, Whiteybe had already been thinking about this matter after hearing her declaration of war.

Now that she has developed the ability to fly, which increases her mobility, the first step is to find a way to destroy her wings.

But this doesn't seem to be easy.

Just like Marco.

The mobility of someone with wings is naturally beyond the imagination of someone who cannot fly.

Moreover, Marco is almost impossible to catch due to his unique characteristics.

However, even if she could fly, if she wanted to attack him, she would have to get closer. The moment she attacked him would be the best time to counterattack.

Wings are like speed.

It would provide the ability user with greater mobility, but Roman also knew that no matter how fast the speed, if the purpose was to attack rather than escape, then someone would always find a weakness.

Because that's when the two people are closest.

Whitebey was a seasoned fighter, and Roman knew she knew the best approach.

After all, in Waidibe's eyes, Roman was a swordsman, and naturally preferred real fighting.

Yes, that's what people usually think.

It also fits the stereotype of swordsmen in people's minds.

No, I misspoke. It's not a stereotype, but a real experience.

However, when this impression of the swordsman is placed on Roman, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a stereotype.

Roman knew what Waidibe was thinking, so naturally he couldn't let it go his way.

So part of her body transformed into vines again, with her target being Whiteybe's icebreaker.

It wasn't a slash? It was a Devil Fruit ability?

Has he already given up swordsmanship?

No, judging by the power of that strike just now, it would take more than ten years of training to achieve that.

So she's someone who excels in both areas.

It seems to be a combination of a somewhat impure swordsman and a somewhat impure ability user.

However, Whiteybe is Whiteybe after all. She didn't panic, but instead used her knife to cut the plants open again.

Although they appear robust and sturdy, they are as thin as cicada wings in the face of weapons enhanced with Armament Haki.

Whitebeard knew that Roman wanted to tie down her ship, but it wouldn't be that easy. No matter how many you bring, I'll cut them down.

Let's see who runs out of energy first.

Whitey Bay's exceptional performance naturally drew cheers from the pirate crew members.

"Captain, well done."

"Captain, I'll join too."

……

Their morale is really high.

It seems that Whitebeard is indeed good at managing his subordinates.

"Navy, controlling such a huge plant is indeed impressive, but a plant is still a plant, not something that can cause much damage. So you have to find another way. It's good for controlling my ship, but unfortunately, it can't withstand my overwhelming power."

After easily cutting down the plant's vines, Whittyby remained defiant.

Of course, Roman couldn't agree more with what she said.

The fruit of the forest is more inclined to be controlled.

These types of fruits don't actually have strong direct attack power. If you want to increase your attack power, you need to develop suitable moves.

On the high seas, it's not like the Red-Haired Pirates' experience.

After all, I was well prepared that time, and I even hid the vines in the soil, so anyone who stepped in would be surrounded.

But there was no land at sea where Roman could hide.

If there is such a thing, that's for the future; Roman can't do it now.

But this was no challenge for Roman.

“Wai Die-bey, don’t be so short-sighted. Plants may look fragile, but they are resilient and can’t be completely destroyed by fire or ice, because they are often the epitome of life, aren’t they?”

After he finished speaking, the vines that had been cut by Whitebeard started moving again and began to damage the ship.

It seems that simply cutting it off won't solve the problem.

Seeing the chaos on the ship, Waidibe understood.

The destruction of a ship and its fall into the sea are nothing special.

Keep in mind that they were Whitebeard's crew members. They followed Whitebeard all over the world and experienced countless tsunamis, and Whitebeard himself was the biggest creator of those tsunamis.

So going into the sea makes little difference as long as you're not a Devil Fruit user.

However, the destruction of the ship would be a disgrace for the captain, so she wouldn't just stand by and watch.

If we're going to fight, let's fight to the bitter end.

If plants can reproduce endlessly, what about humans?

Can humans reproduce endlessly like plants?

Whitebeard looked at Roman and began to have an idea.

Actually, there's no need to overthink it. Even if a Devil Fruit ability is incredibly powerful, it's still something that the user can use.

Once the host dies, the fruit's power will also disappear.

If the fruit is troublesome, then naturally one will have to cause trouble for others.

Having said that, Whitebeard charged toward Roman with his swift sword.

How can someone jump that high without assistance?

It must be said that Waidibe's physical condition surprised Roman.

Her sudden attack was aimed at Roman's body...

But it's too slow, you...

To Roman's surprise, Whitebeard suddenly shifted his body and headed towards the direction where she was hiding, leaving a deep mark on her throat.
