Someone has said this in my manga.

> まず！我らの使命は２つ！！

Does he actually say "two" or "に"? If the latter, why not use 二? I don't see
二つ as being any different.

question
readings numbers
When a number is written in western numerals, how do you say them?
“2つ” is just another notation for “二つ,” and is read as ふたつ, although some
people consider the notation “2つ” as incorrect.

As @Tsuyoshi said, `2つ` is read `ふたつ`

> If the latter, why not use 二? I don't see ニつ as being any different.

It's a manga, as you said, and it's very common to have a lot of crappy
written Japanese in them (special readings, mix of English, neologisms…).
_You_ don't see 2つ being different from 二つ, but _the author_ did. You'll have
to ask him why he chose this "spelling".
