"Mission completed. Unlocked character: Basil."
The system prompt did not even make pique Giotto's interest this time. What bothered him right now was Demon Spade's sudden appearance. He didn't make any move in the past two years, but he suddenly appeared before Giotto now in Foosha Village! Did this mean he'd make his move soon?
The moment they met again, it probably wouldn't end up like just now!
"Giotto!"
Aria's shout brought Giotto back to his senses. Then she continued, "Don't mind him. Even if something happens, we will face it together. I will inform G about this matter. He will be responsible for dealing with Demon Spade. In the meantime, we will just do as we planned, and even if Demon Spade does something... Well, it's not that easy. He is the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the banner of the World Government, and we are in the New World.
"If Demon Spade is up to something, he can even do a lot of things without his status as a Seven Warlord of the Sea. I can not underestimate him."
Giotto took a deep breath and buried all the other emotions in his heart. He knew how much of a threat Demon Spade was, but now was not the time to think about this problem. "Tell G to pay more attention, especially to Mist Ring!"
After the meeting two years ago, Giotto hid the Mist Ring. Only a few Guardians in the Family knew the exact location of the Ring to prevent Demon Spade from stealing it...
"Now I finally understand why Demon Spade would suddenly use his possession ability to appear here."
In an instant, Giotto cleared his mind.
That was right! The reason why Demon Spade came here was definitely not just to say a few words to him. His goal was the Mist Ring. Demon Spade noticed that the Mist Ring wasn't on Giotto, so he left.
After all, the Mist Ring was essential to Demon Spade as it allowed him to exert his true strength.
At this time, a figure in the distance slowly disappeared. Before it disappeared, he said to himself, "Your Hyper Intuition is indeed very troublesome. However, who said that it has to be Vongola Ring? It's not like I can only unleash my true strength with Vongola Ring. Although dealing with that little fellow is very troublesome, it is definitely an option, hehe..."
There were indeed other rings in this world that allowed Demon Spade to unleash his true strength, but that ring now had its own owner.
The one Demon Spade referred to was Varia's Mist Guardian, Fran!
Fran had the 666 Hell Ring. The 666 Hell Ring itself enhanced the user's strength in exchange for the user's soul. Moreover, all Hell Rings were Mist-attribute Rings, suitable for those who had Mist Flame.
However, it was not easy to control Hell Ring's power. For example, Genkishi did not have full control over the Hell Ring and ended up being controlled by the Hell Ring.
However, someone like Demon Spade would have no problem using it if he obtained on!
"What are you thinking about, Giotto?"
After some time, Shanks walked over. One of his hands had been bitten off by the Sea King. However, he still had a smile on his face, as if he did not care about it at all.
A mere arm was nothing to him.
When he came back to his senses, Giotto said slowly, "To be honest, I don't see how you can lose your arm to that thing considering how strong you are!"
"Ah, so that's what you've been thinking? I don't quite understand it myself. But at that moment, it was as if I was guided by fate. Do you see that little fellow? I feel that Luffy will change this era in the future. I don't mind betting a mere arm for the future!"
Shanks said casually. Losing one of his arm would weaken him a little, but he didn't think much of it. Who said he'd become weak with just one arm?
If Z knew what he was thinking now, he would be offended in the future...
"Bet it for the future, huh? Hehe, whatever you say."
Giotto shook his head. "But it seems that you have made your decision. The next time we meet should be in the New World, right?"
Yes, although Shanks lost an arm, there was some sort of change in his heart. At this moment, his eyes were much more determined than before. It was obvious that he had made up his mind to go to the New World, which meant that the situation of the sea would change again soon!
"Well, I will go to the New World to have a drink with you in a while. And when we do, be sure to introduce me to your companions, especially your Guardians. To be honest, I am quite interested in them, especially Ugetsu Asari who can easily defeat Mihawk. I am also good at swordsmanship, but now I guess I'm not that good, huh?"
Losing an arm would undoubtedly be leave the most impact in Shanks's swordsmanship.
After all, Hawkeye would often spar with Shanks before this. However, ever since he lost one of his hand, Hawkeye had no interest in him.
"Don't worry, I will have enough wine to spare!" Giotto smiled.
"Then it's settled. We will have a good drink in the New World. But there is one thing I have to tell you clearly!" Shanks' face suddenly became serious, as if there was something particularly important.
Seeing the change in Shanks' expression, Giotto was also slightly stunned. "What is it?"
"You two must hold off your wedding until I arrive in the New World! I can't miss this kind of important thing no matter what. If you secretly hold a wedding banquet without me, I will be angry , understand?"
Shanks' eyes were glittering. Seeing the relationship between Giotto and Aria, no one would believe if they said there was nothing between them!
"I..."
"I will definitely invite you. Don't worry!" Before Giotto could say anything, Aria immediately answered with a smile. Obviously, Shanks' words made her very happy.
Giotto just smiled helplessly and did not dwell on this topic. He patted Shanks on the shoulder and suddenly said, "Since Aria has said so, she will definitely invite you. But now, I also have a question to ask..."
"What's the problem?"
"Shanks, do you know about the Persuasion Fruit?"
