"This time, Reborn and I will go. I will leave Secon Island to you and Fran."
Giotto, who had just returned to Secon Island, said to Knuckle with a depressed face.
At first, he thought that he could have a good rest after returning this time and then slowly expanded his territory. But who would have thought that when he returned, the system and Reborn told him the same bad news?
It concerned one of the Vongola Family members. He was currently being hunted down, and the one chasing him was the most terrifying pirate in the new world. The one who was crowned as the strongest man in the world, the Whitebeard Edward Newgate!
"Accepted mission: Save Belphegor."
When he learned of this mission, Giotto was somewhat helpless. After all, when he was on Roger's ship, he had already experienced how terrifying Whitebeard was
Whitebeard was at his peak now. Even Knuckle might have a hard time dealing with Whitebeard Tremor-Tremor Fruit, let alone him.
In addition, they had just picked a fight with Big mom, so it was the safest choice for Knuckle to stay behind and guard Secon Island. If Giotto brought Knuckle along to save the trouble-making Prince, Secon Island would be vulnerable.
It was true that Reborn was strong in its own right, but against that monster like Iron Balloon, it was difficult for him to be of any use.
"Oh, just leave it to me!" Knuckle smacked his chest and said confidently. He was full of confidence no matter the situation. As expected of Vongola's Sun Guardian.
Nodding his head, Giotto did not say anything else. He directly boarded the ship with Reborn and sailed in the direction of the troublesome Prince. This time, aside from the two of them, there were also Crowley and the two new recruits of the Vongola Family. Originally, Giotto did not intend to bring them along. After all, he had to face the Whitebeard man. He himself was not very confident.
However, Reborn agreed to let Crowley and the others come, saying that it was the chance for the youngsters to see the world.
"So, how did that fool manage to anger Whitebeard?" After sitting on the ship, Giotto asked with a depressed face.
He couldn't wrap his hand around this matter!
Reborn sat on Giotto's shoulder, holding a paper in his hand that matched his size. He slowly said, "It is said that on the way to Secon Island, he met a Prince of a country who mocked him and then killed him because he was in a particularly bad mood. But what he didn't consider was that the country had the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates."
Although Giotto felt that Belphegor was looking for trouble for himself, after hearing the situation, he had to admit that the Prince who provoked Bell must've wanted to die so badly.
Why?
First of all, Bell himself carried the royal bloodline, he's sadomasochistic, arrogant, and proud, and second, Bell enjoyed killing.
Ridiculing Bell, who was a prideful person in itself, was already a suicide move. In addition, being a prince like Bell irritated him even more!
"It's really troublesome!"
Giotto sighed and then asked, "But even if a Prince of a country under his protection was killed by a pirate, he wouldn't have to personally step down, right?"
The white beard should not be so idle all day, right?
He didn't know how many countries that were under his protection out there. In any case, the biggest force in the New World was the Whitebeard pirates. It'd tarnish his reputation if he had to step down each time a Prince of a country under his protection died.
"From the information we got from the Underworld, the one who chased after Bell was indeed not Whitebeard himself, but his Division Commander, Diamond Jozu. However, the Whitebeard pirates seem to be nearby, so if we rescue Bell, there is a high chance that we will have to fight Whitebeard."
Reborn threw away the paper in his hand. After all, these things had no value.
They didn't have their own intelligence group, so the way to get information was to buy it from the Underworld.
"Forget it! We will only have to see what we're up against after we arrive. A Vongola Boss will never abandon his Family, even if it means having to fight Whitebeard!" Giotto's eyes flashed with determination.
He was well aware that the current Vongola Family was no match for Whitebeard pirates. Whether it was himself or Knuckle, neither of them had the strength to compete with the strongest man in that world.
But so what?
If he had to give up his companions and Family just because he was not strong enough, then there was no meaning in him being a Vongola Boss!
Moreover, even if he was no match against Whitebeard now, what about later?
Vongola Family had six Guardians, and most of them hadn't joined him, and they haven't obtained their equipment either.
If he really wanted to fight to the death, Giotto might not be afraid of Whitebeard. If he could not beat him, he would build his strength over time, and when he had enough strength, he would pay him back!
"Go at full speed. Bell won't be able to hold on for long."
With that thought, Giotto immediately gave the order. He did not want to see Bell's corpse when he arrived!
West Island.
This was just an unknown island in the New World. The only peculiar thing about this place was the neverending raging winds. After all, the weather in the New World was always strange and unpredictable.
In the forest on this island, a young man was walking quickly. His right arm was already injured, and just lifting it up would cause intense pain.
"That damn diamond bastard, his defense is absurd! I would have killed him long ago if that guy was not covered in diamonds! Damn it, damn it! As he quickened his pace, Bell kept cursing.
To be honest, Jozu's ability was indeed a bad matchup for Bell. Even if his Storm Flame had the disintegrate characteristic, it was difficult to hurt Jozu, who could turn into a diamond.
After running for about five minutes, Bell suddenly stopped. He felt the raging wind in that place, and his face revealed a crazy smile. "Hehehe! This is the place. Even if I can't get rid of that diamond bastard, the others can't escape the Prince's hunt!"
He didn't just randomly escape. He deliberately looked for an island where the wind was particularly strong such as this Island.
For a Storm Guardian of Varia like him, this was the most suitable place for him to perform an artistic battle!
