East Blue, Shimotsuki Village.
After a long voyage, Giotto finally crossed Paradise and came to East Blue again. It had to be said that he and East Blue seemed to be bound by fate. In the past few years, he had come to this place three times.
The first time was when Captain Roger was sentenced, and he witnessed the opening of the Great Pirates Era in Loguetown.
The second time was when he looked for Flame-Flame Fruit.
The third time was now, and his goal was very clear now. At this time, Zoro was still a three-year-old brat, and it was possible that he had not begun to practice swordsmanship.
Besides, even if he had already begun learning swordsmanship, could Giotto invite a three-year-old child as External Advisors?
The kid might not even know what External Advisors meant!
Therefore, his target was naturally Zoro's master, the master of the Isshin Dojo of Shimotsuki Village, Koushiro!
Although this person had never had a head-on battle record, even Giotto did not dare to underestimate his strength. After all, when Koushiro taught Zoro, he once showed the strength that Hyogoro described...
If you did not have the intention to cut, you could not even cut a paper!
He didn't know how Koushiro's swordsmanship was compared to the famous Hawkeye Mihawk and Vongola Family's Rain Guardian, and Ugetsu Asari.
I guess only after a real battle would he know the answer.
"What a peaceful village, but after all, Koushiro is here, so ordinary pirates and bandits are useless here." Giotto looked at this very ordinary small village in front of him, and his mood became much more comfortable.
This kind of mountains and river scenery was sometimes something that people yearned for, but he did not have it.
Listening to the voice of the child during the training, he soon walked to the door of the Isshin Dojo. Looking up at the words on it, Giotto's eyes became serious. "It is really sharp. Even if I am not a swordsman, I can still feel the stinging sensation from it. If I had known earlier, I would have brought Ugetsu along."
"I'm sorry, may I ask what you need?"
At this time, a voice sounded behind Giotto.
When he turned around, he could see a gentle-looking man. He wore a pair of small glasses and had a smile on his face. At the same time, he could also see Wano Country's Shimotsuki Clan crest on his clothes
Beside him was a little girl who was only five years old. However, this little girl's expression was determined, and her eyes were filled with confidence. It seemed that the five-year-old Kuina was already determined to become the world's number one Swordsman.
There was no doubt that this man holding a basket of fruits and vegetables was the master of this dojo, Shimotsuki Koushiro!
In fact, from the first moment he saw this person, Giotto knew that Koushiro was definitely not to be trifled with. Why did he say that?
Because in most worlds, there was an iron law, that is...
The squinting characters were monsters!
And wearing glasses would add an additional menacing vibe to the!
"I came here especially to visit Mr. Koushiro." Giotto said politely at the moment.
After looking at the man in a suit for a while, Koushiro smiled: "Then please come in to talk, Vongola Primo-dono."
Obviously, the moment he saw Giotto, Koushiro recognized him. Originally, in a small place like East Blue, there should not be many people who knew of the Vongola Family's existence. But Koushiro was different. Although he lived here in seclusion, he had always paid attention to the news on the sea.
However, he probably did not expect that a big shot with a bounty of 1.83 billion would come to him.
Nodding, Giotto also followed Koushiro into the dojo. There were many children in the dojo who were learning swordsmanship, but it seemed that they did not have much talent. Perhaps the swordsmanship he taught was mostly used to strengthen his body and protect themselves in certain situations.
After making tea, Koushiro directly sat down and said, "So, why did you come here?"
"You don't seem to be surprised at all that I came here, Mr. Koushiro." Giotto sipped the ordinary tea in the cup. Although it was ordinary, it had a unique fragrance of the mountains.
"What is there to be surprised about? Although I don't know where you learned it from, I think you know a lot, so..."
Koushiro bowed solemnly to Giotto and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for freeing that country. I think everyone who lives in that country now must be happy."
"Mr. Koushiro, if you continue to praise me like this, I won't be able to tell you the truth."
Giotto smiled, and then immediately became serious, "This time, my main reason here is to invite you to join Vongola, but you don't need to act together with the Family members, or anything like that, but I hope that you can become a member of the Family as External Advisors."
"External Advisors?" Koushiro did not immediately refuse or agree, but asked first.
After nodding, Giotto continued: "External Advisors are members of the Vongola Family that's outside the direct control of the main Family, but when during a crisis, their authority is second only to the leader."
"Such a great power, is it really okay to leave such a task to me?" Koushiro was a little surprised, he thought that External Advisors was just a small role in the family, but he didn't expect that it hold such a big authority.
"I have a good eye for people, and I believe that with the addition of Mr. Koushiro, Vongola will become better."
Yes, Giotto has a good eye for people, especially when watching anime!
"I don't seem to have a reason to refuse."
Seeing the slight change in Giotto's expression, Koushiro knew that the other party was a little surprised, and he actually agreed so easily: "Consider it as thanks for everything you have done for Wano Country, and according to what you have just said, I don't need to leave this place after becoming External Advisors, so why not?"
"Thank you very much." Giotto nodded, he himself did not expect this trip to be so simple and successful.
"Excuse me, is the owner of the dojo here?"
At this time, a voice came from outside the dojo: "I came specially to visit the master!"
Hearing this voice, Giotto and Koushiro looked at each other. The two of them stood up together and walked out. A man wearing a dark green coat gradually appeared in their vision...
