One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 342 I Dare to Think, I Dare to Do

After Roman punched another rock the size of a house, the four of them fell silent.

They weren't sure if it was just their imagination, but they felt that her punches seemed to have become a little more powerful.

“That’s a bit strange!” Gran looked at Roman and said softly.

“There are plenty of strange things about the commander, you don’t need to mention them.” Sly glanced disdainfully at Grant.

“That’s not what I meant. Raven, can you sense anything?”

"Hmm... I can feel it a little." Raven lay lazily on the ground.

Although he seems lazy and likes to avoid trouble, perhaps that's why Raven seems to have a pretty good talent for Observation Haki.

In terms of perception, he is the strongest among the three.

"What does that mean?" Patch clearly didn't understand.

"Well, I would say she's lost a bit of her sharpness. Her aura, no, her domineering presence, seems to have softened."

soft?

Looking at the already chaotic scene, Sly said, "Are you sure? I just feel that her domineering aura is getting stronger and stronger."

"No, although the power has increased, I don't feel any more domineering aura. In short, it's strange, it doesn't make sense. I think maybe it's..."

It has to be said that LaVine's words immediately ignited everyone's curiosity.

"so……"

"So I'm so sleepy, I want to go to sleep!!"

"Go to hell, you lazybones!!!" x3

……

"Hmm? Why are they making such a fuss? Are they sparring?" Roman, sweating profusely, didn't forget to keep an eye on the other four.

She didn't expect that the group of people had already started fighting.

I initially thought they'd all exhausted themselves, but looking at them now, they seem alright!

After only a glance at their "minor skirmish," Roman focused his attention on his own fists.

It really worked.

Like Elizabeth II, constantly suppressing one's domineering aura and allowing it to accumulate within oneself seems to be a way to enhance one's own power.

The key is to preserve one's own strength.

Elizabello was able to retain his Haki for more than an hour because his Haki intensity was insufficient. At least in terms of pure Haki intensity, Roman was naturally much stronger.

However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and a dialectical perspective is indispensable.

The downside of having high Haki is that Roman can't retain his Haki for an hour like Elizabeth.

But not being able to be like Elizabello doesn't mean she can't get closer to Elizabello.

She can also retain her domineering aura, let the power of that aura accumulate, and then become a half-baked One-Punch Man.

However, this is not the best way to utilize one's own strength.

Her domineering presence meant that Elizabeth II's methods were not a good match for her.

However, she doesn't specialize in physical combat, so Elizabello's techniques are still quite effective against her.

Since witnessing Elizabello's moves, Roman has paid close attention to adjusting his power.

Be strong when you should be strong, and be weak when you should be weak.

At the same time, when using her domineering aura, she also retains some of her power and accumulates it in her body.

The quantity is not large, but it is enough.

This also makes her aura more deceptive.

This is what Gran and Raven found strange.

Because even their Observation Haki couldn't detect that Roman was using too much Haki, but his moves were getting increasingly ruthless.

Influenced by Elizabello, Roman also developed a love for fitness during his spiritual practice.

The thrill of compressing and storing one's domineering aura, allowing oneself to feel the even greater power of the next punch, is truly irresistible.

Furthermore, she continued to conduct experiments using mushrooms.

Mushrooms are indeed not plants; they cannot be created directly.

But life can create life and nourish life.

If you can't do it directly, then do it indirectly.

Mushrooms can grow anywhere: in soil, on concrete, even in a slightly soiled closet, and naturally on their own plants.

Once their spores find the slightest "opportunity," they will grow hyphae, firmly attach themselves to the surface, and obtain nutrients.

As a user of the Mori-Mori Fruit, I have no shortage of plant nutrients. As long as you dare to parasitize me, I will feed you to my heart's content.

……

"Lately, the commander seems to be playing with mushrooms all the time."

"I'm no longer surprised by anything she's curious about or can come up with."

"I just feel it's a bit of a pity, the chef will be missing a dish."

"You guys aren't even cooking, are you really not tired of it?!"

……

They're arguing again!!!

I don't know what they're doing all day long.

Seeing the four of them arguing again in the supermarket, Roman shook his head, but continued to focus on his own business.

She has been looking for all sorts of mushrooms for the past few days.

She needs to know which species produces the most spores.

Who has the strongest vitality?

Who can withstand wind and rain?

Who is not afraid of relatively high temperature resistance?

Once Roman understands these characteristics, he can use his strength to stretch the longer side of their bodies indefinitely.

The seemingly impossible powers of Ice-shroom, Pop-shroom, Magnet-shroom, Doom-shroom, and Hypno-shroom may be something I can develop myself.

All she ever needed was time.
