"Okay, I got it. Let's deal with the island's recovery and post-war matters. Ugetsu and I are on our way back, but we have to be careful. Although we repelled Big Mom, she was not the only one watching us now. Shiki is one of them, but he is isolating himself on a constantly moving island floating in the sky, so it is not easy to deal with him." Giotto said on his boat while holding Den Den Mushi.
Through interrogating the Beast Pirates' crews, the Golden Lion's involvement was confirmed in this matter. However, he did not do much, he only provided some special animals and helped float King's ship with his Float-Float Fruit.
To be honest, they could not do much in an aerial fight, and even though Shiki was old now, he was still a skilled combatant.
Giotto did not think that Shiki would do the same thing as in the One Piece Movie. He knew how strong Float-Float Fruit was. Unless he had the confidence to defeat him, he wouldn't intend to confront him.
If he could not kill Shiki, it'd be a problem if Shiki decided to throw a few warships or even a few islands at Secon Island. If he did, there was no way Secon Island could survive
"By the way, Lampow was badmouthing about you while lying on the hospital bed. He said that had he gotten the Ring, he would not have been injured by Big Mom's slash wave. That was all he whined about." Reborn, who was now at the Family's base camp, smirked as he snitched on Lampow to Giotto through Den Den Mushi, "Of course, I won't say too much, you can just ask him yourself when you come back."
Hearing this, Giotto also revealed a bitter smile. He knew how childish Lampow could be. He couldn't just bring himself to really scold him. However, it was not surprising for him to complain and say a few bad things about him. He wa childish, after all. Although Lampow was the first and the strongest Lightning Guardian, he was not the most mature and reliable...
Even Giotto himself had to admit that the 20 years later Lambo was more mature than Lampow.
"I know. Let him vent his anger. After all, he is not wrong. If he had Vongola Ring on his hand and his Lightning Flame, he would not have been injured by Big Mom."
Giotto sighed. He could not punish Lampow for such a trivial matter. Moreover, it was the truth as Lampows's Vongola Ring was on him. At that time, Lampow was not at his full strength, yet as a Lightning Guardian, he still resolutely chose to take most of the damage for his Family.
It could be said that he played a big part in ensuring Secon Island's survival!
"Well then, lastly, do we need to launch a counterattack against Big Mom Pirates? Although they did not cause us much damage this time, what they did basically asked for a war!"
Reborn suddenly became furious. If Lampow didn't show up in time, the losses of the Family would be immeasurable!
"There is no need to start a war. If we start a war, we will have to face more than just Big Mom Pirates, but we also can't let them just get away with it. After we deal with the matters in our hands, send Varia to Totto Land to collect compensation."
Giotto also thought of fighting Big Mom, but this time was obviously not the right time.
They had just fought Beasts Pirates. Although they didn't suffer a huge loss, they were too exhausted from the battle against Kaido. Moreover, Knuckle was exhausted, and Lampow was injured. Bel and Enel also participated in the battle even though they hadn't fully recovered, causing their injuries to worsen, so they had to rest again. Skull's side also suffered some losses.
It was safe to say that they were not in their best shape.
What made things even worse was the news that Alaudi had sent not long ago, which said that the World Government was also watching Vongola Family now. If the Vongola Family made any major movement in the near future, they would definitely interfere.
Therefore, it was better to recover for now.
When Mammon arrived, the strength of the Family would increase once more!
Therefore, time was beneficial to Vongola Family but not so much to others. As time went on, Vongola Family would inevitably become stronger and stronger. At that time, Giotto and the others would have enough confidence even if the whole world turned against them.
It would be best if the next mission unlocked the Storm Guardian, G and the Mist Guardian, Demon Spade! Once he did, they would definitely become the strongest force in the sea!
One more thing was that Vongola Family was more of a protector than an aggressor. On that note, Giotto hoped that he could unlock Millefiore Family as fast as possible
That way, the Vongola Family would be able to focus on their job as the protector, and Millefiore Family could focus on attacking!
"Primo, do you think something has happened over there?" Ugetsu Asari suddenly said as he pointed in a certain direction.
Following Ugetsu's finger, he could see a pirate ship sailing quickly, but there was a pink-haired woman who seemed to be taken to ship against her will as she glared at the pirates.
"Why does that person look so familiar?"
Giotto was stunned for a moment. He felt that he had seen the woman somewhere before: "Ugetsu, where are we now?"
After thinking for a while, Ugetsu Asari replied, "Right now, our position should be close to Dressrosa."
Dressrosa?
This time, Giotto remembered that the pink-haired woman should be the daughter of King Riku, Princess Scarlett!
This Princess was being kidnapped by the pirates. In the Manga, it should be Kyros who saved her, but now since Kyros had not returned to the Dressrosa, no one could save her from the hands of the pirates.
He did not expect that he would encounter this situation.
It seemed that he would be a hero in the eyes of Dressrosa's citizens again.
