One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 511 We Fight All for Peace

A tremendous roar.

The scorching heat wave.

And broken ashes.

In that instant, the massive, continuous rocky outcrop turned to ashes.

This is the power of explosive rock.

Fundamentally, it erased all traces.

"I think the power of the pilot blast has met my requirements, and I am very satisfied."

Roman expressed his admiration for the desolation before him.

"But you'd better be careful if you take this thing with you."

Even Kizaru was shocked by the power of this 'explosive'.

I felt they had a sense of dread, a willingness to perish together regardless of friend or foe.

Kizaru found it quite frightening that someone would detonate this thing in front of him.

Even with his elemental powers, Kizaru had no doubt that if he were swept up in it, the land beneath his feet would be completely destroyed, and then he would be greeted by the ocean.

Bringing something so dangerous on the road is definitely a dangerous thing.

“It’s not something like that, so it can’t be called destruction, General. What we want is the complete destruction of all supplies.”

Her plan has already received approval from the Warring States period.

Although it is very dangerous.

However, even the Warring States period had to admit that if successful, it would be a great victory.

To stop the pirates.

The navy itself destroyed all the supplies.

The pirates would have to vomit it all out at once.

Moreover, Roman repeatedly assured her that she could get out unscathed.

Therefore, everything will be given the green light for her.

This made her feel much more relaxed.

"Actually, there are more reliable methods; they won't be able to cause trouble for long."

Kizaru spoke the truth.

Such large-scale wars always occur, but they will eventually subside.

The Navy has more reliable methods to deal with this.

They even let it go unchecked.

They will eventually disappear too.

Pirates' enemies are not just the Navy.

Competitors are even more deadly.

"It's better to end it quickly than to end it late. At least fewer people will die."

"Is there really no other reason?"

"Ha, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm an anti-war activist and a peace lover."

"Emm...that doesn't seem like it."

Kizaru is pragmatic.

He was certain of Roman's abilities.

Even affirming Roman's morality.

However, the words "anti-war" and "peace-loving" seem out of place when applied to the navy.

After all, they are people who have faced bloodshed.

The purpose of fighting and suppressing pirates is to maintain order, not to achieve peace.

Or rather, for people like them who possess power, the love of peace is a word that is full of "rebellion".

Chaos is the stage where they can demonstrate their power.

Even if he acts carelessly and irresponsibly.

However, Kizaru, who possessed great power, never truly hoped for a day without war.

Because that's irrelevant.

This is not to say that he likes war.

Whether it's peace or not, it shouldn't affect his life.

No, quite the opposite, war is when their value is most realized.

Peace-loving people always appeal to others to stop with a gentle and serene expression.

But Roman...

"I just do things differently. I won't ask others to stop the war. I'm just using my own methods to speed up the end of the war."

Just like the emergence of nuclear weapons.

Instead of calling on everyone to love peace and oppose war, we should take control of the ability to create peace ourselves.

Even in the face of war, we have the ability to force it to stop.

That's what makes a true peace advocate.

"Isn't using my own abilities to bring peace as quickly as possible a way to pursue peace? The victory brought about by my strength is a peaceful outcome, isn't that good enough?"

How could someone like me not be called a peace advocate?

Several countries that fight each other have war as their primary objective.

Their demands are mostly for peace.

But the unsolvable problem is that we all only believe in the peace under our own rule.

No one wants to hand over the switch to peace to someone else.

"That's terrifying. I wonder what you've actually studied before?"

Kizaru sighed again.

When Roman gets serious, he speaks with a distinctive style.

Her way of thinking is also quite peculiar.

It's hard to imagine what she went through to shape who she is today.

Is the culture and customs of the Flower Country really that special?

Or was she simply special?

Roman responded to Kizaru's question this time.

"That's a very long story, and while the details aren't particularly exciting, it profoundly affected me. If I had the chance, I think I would tell you. But unfortunately, now is not the time. The most important thing now is to stop all of this."

"But to achieve this, simply defeating all the beasts is not enough."

Roman understood perfectly.

Charlotte is the bigger problem than the beasts.

Kaido has gone mad.

But Charlotte was truly an aggressor.

This kind of aggression is scattered among the fragments of time, and is not very noticeable.

Moreover, Charlotte...

She also wanted to see what the true nature of that family was.

She hasn't been back for far too long.

My brother, my mother, and my homeland.

How is the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Kingdoms developing now?

Although it's not the right time yet, let me witness it!
