The moment King swung the sword in his hand at Belphegor's heart, a figure flew over from the distant sky, blocking King's strike.
It was naturally Issho!
He was responsible for observing Kaido and Beasts Pirates. Not long ago, he suddenly found that a lot of Kaido's men had disappeared, which led him to think that something was off. After passing the task of observing Kaido's territory to others, he immediately used his Devil Fruit's ability to find Kaido's whereabouts.
Fortunately, he learned about King's plan from a Beast Pirates member, allowing him to arrive at this critical moment.
Fortunately, he managed to stop King as King really planned to kill Belphegor!
"Great, I'll leave it to you, Issho!" Giotto said through Den Den Mushi before hanging up.
In the next moment, King locked his eyes on the blind swordsman in front of him. "Issho? I have never heard of your name. However, I can't help but wonder if Vongola Family was so short on people that they'd even send a blind man?"
Despite what he said, he was well aware that the man in front of him was no ordinary man. After all, being able to block his strike wasn't an easy feat.
Moreover, the guy named Issho came from the sky. In other words... Devil Fruit user?
However, the way he came gave King a similar vibe to the Shiki's Float-Float Fruit, but everyone knew that there was only one of each Devil Fruit in the world. Shiki the Golden Lion was not dead yet, so it was impossible for others to use Float-Float Fruit.
In other words, the ability of this guy in front of him was similar to the Float-Float Fruit?
"Hehe, it's fortunate that I can't see anything. At least I don't need to see your ugly face right now. Since you haven't heard of me, then I'll introduce myself out of courtesy."
Issho focused his Color of Observation Haki onto King. Facing such an enemy, he did not dare to let his guard down in the slightest, "I am fortunate enough to be entrusted as the leader of Vongola Family's External Advisors, my name is Issho!"
That's right, Issho was now the leader of External Advisor, and among External Advisor, there were Jinbei, Koshiro, Kuina, and Robin in addition to him.
Although there were a few members, the truly powerful ones were only powerful were Issho and Koshiro.
Unfortunately, Koshiro was in the East Blue, so External Advisor only had one combatant in the New World.
External Advisor? I have never heard of such a thing. Is it an organization like Varia? Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. Since you are here now, I'll get rid of you all at once. After all, I've already wasted too much time.
As soon as he finished speaking, King rushed toward Issho with a long sword in his hand. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
He had no intention of freeing any Vongola Family's member in the first place. Even if Giotto agreed to the deal, he would still kill them.
After all, both he and Kaido did not believe that Vongola Family would choose to hand over the huge Wano Country for the sake of two executives. In their eyes, only idiots would take that option.
"I think so, too. There is no need to waste my time on you."
Facing King's attack, Issho remained calm. He waved the sword in his hand, activating Press-Press Fruit's ability. Along with the gravity that slightly distorted the space in front of him, a menacing flying slash attack was also discharged.
Seeing this flying slash attack, King's expression changed instantly. He immediately switched from offense to defense, blocking the flying slash attack with his sword. Even though he sucessfully blocked the attack, he was pushed back due to the powerful force.
"A master swordsman?"
King did not expect that his opponent was actually a swordsman. In other words, Vongola Family already had two master swordsmen, with the other being Ugetsu Asari, who had fought with Hawkeye not long ago and was crowned the world's strongest swordsman.
Little did he know that Vongola Family had another master swordsman named Squalo.
"Ah, it's just a fluke. I'm not worthy enough to be called master swordsman. However, after watching the duel between Mihawk-dono and Ugetsu Asari-dono not too long ago, I had a feeling that I had finally become a master swordsman."
Issho modestly said, "Therefore, the next attack will be even stronger than before... Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger!"
A powerful flying slash attack headed straight at King, distorting the space around it due to the gravitational force. It'd destroy anything in its path, as the momentum alone set off huge waves.
However, after throwing this attack at King, Issho immediately carried Belphegor on his shoulder and then rushed over to grab the unconscious Enel and flew away.
He had no plan of fighting King in the first place. After all, his Family members were seriously injured now. Evacuating them and have them treated right away was more important than killing the enemy in front of him
King also had no means to chase Fujitora. He had to first block this flying slash attack that was imbued with gravitational force.
Secon Island, Vongola Family's base camp, combat conference room.
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Giotto gathered all the Family executives as fast as he could. There were two empty seats, which belonged to Xanxus and Colonello. They couldn't attend, so they had to use Den Den Mushi.
"Let's get straight to the point. Just now, one of Beasts Pirates' All-Stars, King the Conflagration, attacked Varia's ship. According to the news we have received, Belphegor and Enel are seriously injured, and the other Varia members onboard were wiped out."
At this moment, Giotto seemed quite furious, and his calm eyes flashed with a cold light: "There is no need to discuss this matter any further. I hereby order to crush Beasts Pirates as the leader of Vongola Family!"
