One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 345 She's a bastard too

It must be said that Roman's house is a very distinctive place in Marineford.

It is quite unique in every respect.

Roman, who now possesses the title of Black Dragon, is no longer the same as before, not only in terms of fame but also in terms of wealth.

She now owns a bigger house and her own little yard.

Now that you have your own space, you are free to decorate it however you like.

As we all know, some powerful figures have their own quirky little quirks, so no one really interfered with Roman's decorating style.

But just because those below don't dare to, and those above don't care, doesn't mean her friends won't complain.

“Every time I come here, I feel like I’ve entered a primeval jungle.” Smoker couldn’t help but complain as he looked at the villa covered in ivy.

“Her idea is indeed hard to fathom, but it’s still better than the old animal morgue. At least these things give people a strong sense of life,” Tina said from the side.

Roman, the user of the Mori-Mori Fruit, did not use her ability to decorate her yard into a beautiful garden. On the contrary, she let her plants grow wildly.

To the neighbors, you can see everything from Roman's yard.

In this small courtyard, any plant has the opportunity to grow and thrive.

Of course, the competition is fierce.

In order to obtain more nutrients for themselves, they will desperately seize the living space of other plants.

The winning plant will be killed by Roman, who will also record the data.

"What exactly is she trying to do? I really don't understand her."

“Smoker, watch your words. At least before you come in here, you should call her Lieutenant General Black Dragon.”

For naval personnel with animal names, it is generally not appropriate to address them by their name and rank directly; the usual way to address them is by their title and rank.

This is a form of respect.

Of course, if you are in a high enough position and have a close enough relationship, it is fine to call them by their first name.

Given the relationship between Roman, Smoker, and Tina, it's understandable that they address each other casually.

Of course, Tina is clearly the type who respects rules more, while Smoker is clearly the more rebellious type.

"Um, Tina and Smoker would like to visit Lieutenant General Black Dragon, is that alright?" Tina was speaking to none other than the small white flower at the entrance of Roman's courtyard.

This seemingly abrupt behavior did not elicit any complaints from Smoker.

This is something that must be done to enter the plant's habitat, provided that you are making a friendly visit and not forcibly intruding.

The little white flower seemed to understand human nature and nodded.

Then the two leaves continued to stretch and lengthen, eventually growing out like hands, serving as support points.

Below are continuous roots, still covered with slightly damp soil.

Then it began to move forward continuously.

Where it passed, the plants all detoured and sidestepped, leaving a path.

Like layers of curtains being drawn back, finally allowing people to see the true face.

"I still find it incredible every time I see it," Tina sighed.

"Oh, right, Smoker..."

“I know without you reminding me.” With that, Smoker tossed the cigar out of his mouth.

They don't like the smell of smoke.

The plants in Roman's yard all have a human-like quality.

If there's an odor, they'll ruthlessly steal your cigarette and throw you out along with it.

The only owner who could make them completely obedient was Roman.

The small white flower that you need to greet when you enter is like a butler.

Although the distance from the yard to the door is short, the plants growing there have very different characteristics.

Sometimes they'll play pranks on you and prevent you from going in.

At this point, the housekeeper usually needs to remind them.

After that, it became much easier for guests to get in.

"Isn't this place truly amazing?"

“I think it’s strange,” Smoker retorted, still sharp-tongued.

“Smoker, Tina has to remind you, they understand. If you don’t want to be thrown out like last time, Tina thinks you’d better shut up.”

"Shut up!!!"

Roman soon heard the commotion from the two rivals arguing on the path.

She was taking a nap.

I stayed up too late reading yesterday.

Although I don't feel particularly tired, I still need to get some sleep.

After hearing the commotion of the two people, she smiled knowingly.

It seems these two are going to bring me some interesting things again.

Since that's the case, let's give them a surprise first.

……

"You two look great. It seems I haven't been keeping up with fashion for too long. I didn't know that these days, you need to be soaking wet to show respect when you come to visit." Roman, sipping his herbal tea, couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Tina and Smoker's new appearance.

"You've gone too far..."

"You actually tricked us."

"Your vigilance is too weak! How can this be allowed?!"

"What kind of bastard would make plants mimic doors, letting us walk right into their mouths? The taste inside is just..."

Because Roman's villa was almost entirely surrounded by plants.

So Tina and Smoker were completely unaware that the door they were about to open was actually the mouth of a plant.

“Oh, dear Smoker and Tina, how could I let you suffer such danger? Don’t worry, it doesn’t eat living people…”

I had a feeling that she wouldn't say anything nice next.

"It only eats corpses and has a bit of bad breath."

what! ! !

She's such a jerk!!!
