"Huh? Irie, where is Giotto?"
Reborn, who had just returned to Secon Island, directly entered the chief's office. However, what he saw was Shoichi Irie, who was busy dealing with paperwork, and Giotto was nowhere to be found.
Putting down the pen in his hand, Shoichi Irie raised his head and let out a long sigh. Then, he lay down on the chair as he ran out of strength. He said helplessly, "He said that he was off to test the new boat, but he hasn't come back since then, leaving behind this mountain of paperwork. I think he won't be back until tomorrow afternoon."
The Air Fire was a ship that he and Giannini had made for their leader. It could accommodate up to three people and was flame-powered, allowing Giotto to sail on the sea easily and quickly.
"I know, but you should've seen this coming. Giotto is not good at dealing with that many paperwork. Since he couldn't take it anymore, he ran away, and you had to take care of the paperwork in his place. You really should find someone else to handle this, in my opinion."
Reborn understood Giotto very well. "By the way, how is the Dying Will Pill's development going? With you and Giannini working on it, it shouldn't take long to produce the finished product, right?"
Hearing about the research on the surface, Shoichi Irie seemed to come back to life. "Yes, a few days ago, the development of the Dying Will Pill has already begun. The finished product should be finished in ten days at best or half a month at worst. However, because of manpower and confidentiality reasons, it can not be mass-produced. We can only develop ten pills at most at a time."
If ten Dying Will Pills were given to Enel and Crowley, that meant each of them had five chances to enter Dying Will Mode. That was already quite good.
"Hm, it's enough for the time being. After you finish it, give them to Enel and Crowley. Then we can recruit more new members and leave the assessment to Fran. Those who pass and are trustworthy should be sent to Green Iron Island and White Stone Island. It's also best to develop some machines that can quickly mine minerals to speed up the Family's development."
Reborn arranged some things and then turned to leave. "Those things can wait until Giotto come back. I will go train those kids first."
Reborn couldn't afford to stop his hellish training for even a second. Otherwise, how could those rookies grow up to be strong?
At this time, Enel, Crowley, and the others, who had just returned to Secon Island, felt a deep chill.
At the same time...
"The days without paperwork are really wonderful. I would rather fight than deal with those paperwork."
Giotto jumped down from his small boat and landed on the dock. He casually called the dock manager and placed a stack of Belly in his hand. He said, "Can I trouble you to look out for my small boat for a while? Thank you!"
Then, he directly walked toward the city in front of him. The city was peaceful because their King was benevolent and wise. He was deeply loved by the people in this country. Even in this chaotic era of pirates, his benevolent governance did not change.
Not only this country, but even the surrounding countries respected this King very much. After all, he often helped many countries that were at war.
His name was Riku Doldo III!
In other words, King Riku, whose country was taken away by Doflamingo in the future.
That's right, the place where Giotto is now is Dressrosa, but the current Dressrosa was still a relatively ordinary country, and there was no such thing as "Toy House" there.
"Hurry up, if you go too late, there won't be any seats left. Today is Kyros's match!"
"I know, but it will definitely be full if we go now!"
As Giotto walked on the street, the surrounding people were rushing in the same direction. The place they were going to was the Colosseum. Before Doflamingo ruled the country, the Colosseum was a place for swordsmen to hone their swordsmanship.
And now there was a legendary figure in the arena, a legendary gladiator who had never lost since competing in Colosseum, Kyros!
The reason why Giotto came to this country, aside from to take a breather, was also to see if he could bring this legendary gladiator into his Family. With his sword skills and strength, and Dying Will Flame in addition, he would definitely be a good fighter.
Everyone was hurrying on their way, but Giotto had no intention of speeding up. After all, it was meaningless for him to watch the duel.
When he had just arrived at the arena, the crowd that had come to watch the competition had already dispersed. After all, it had only taken a few seconds for Kyros to defeat his opponent.
"Sorry, today's competition has ended. If you're here to watch, you can come back tomorrow. Kyros will participate again in several days."
Seeing Giotto walking in this direction, a guard in charge of the arena reminded him.
"Oh, I'm not here to watch the competition. I just want to see the legendary gladiator," Giotto said slowly with a smile.
"That's... I'm sorry, but Kyros won't meet anyone."
Even if it were another gladiator, the guards could do nothing about it. Usually, there would be people who wanted to see Kyros, but he turned them all away. The legendary gladiator was just a person who locked himself in a cage and was unwilling to interact with the outside world.
"Can you make an exception?" Or you can arrange for me to have a match with Kyros? I just want to meet him."
Giotto wouldn't just go back without trying. He just continued, "despite how I look, I am very strong. Even Kyros may be no match against me."
Hearing this, the guard did not know how to answer. He could see that Giotto did seem to have a powerful aura around him, but defeating Kyros was just...
Anyone in the country would think it was a joke, right?
"You want to see Kyros? Can you tell me the reason?" At this time, a voice sounded behind Giotto. It was a burly man in a blue cloak.
When the guard saw the man, he immediately saluted respectfully. "Your Majesty, King Riku!" .
