As this voice echoed, a dense fog suddenly gathered, forming into a figure wearing blue military attire.
Without a doubt, this man was none other than Vongola Family Mist Guardian, Demon Spade!
This explained why Demon Spade on the Marines' ship didn't make any move. After all, that was just an illusion that he created, while the real him was actually already at Secon Island, silently observing the battle between Giotto and Shiki.
Up until now, he had concealed his presence, and his entrance caught everyone's attention.
Even Lampow and other Vongola Family members, who were fighting on Shiki's floating island, were distracted at this moment. Demon Spade was more intimidating to them than Shiki and Big Mom, both in terms of strength and strategy.
"D, I knew you'd come. Honestly, I don't want to fight you, after all, you are also a member of the Family," Giotto sighed as he looked at the man in front of him. He had known that Demon Spade would come, but he genuinely did not want to fight him in combat. Demon Spade was also a member of Vongola Family, after all.
Moreover, Demon Spade was pretty strong, and even Giotto wasn't sure that he could defeat Demon Spade. This battle might force him to use Ultimate Dying Will Mode, a power he was reluctant to use.
Upon hearing Giotto's words, Shiki immediately knew what was going on. Even though Demon Spade had already mentioned that he was one of Vongola Family's Guardians, but Shiki didn't believe him. However, now he finally believed that Demon Spade was indeed Vongola Family Mist Guardian. He just couldn't comprehend why Demon Spade had chosen to stand against Vongola Family.
"A member of the Family... Haha, I always have been a member of the Family. However, that has nothing to do with what I'm trying to do, right? Then again, given the current circumstances, I don't mind giving you an offer," Demon Spade chuckled with his gaze fixed on Giotto. He continued slowly, "Kill all the enemies before you, kill every fool that steps foot on your territory, be it civilians or not, spare no one! If you can do that, I will return to your side, assisting you with everything I have to build the Vongola that strikes fear into everyone's heart!"
"I can't do it!" Without hesitation, and without any delay, Giotto gave his answer. "Unfortunately, I can't do everything you just mentioned. If it's just the enemies who intend to harm the Family, I won't hesitate to eliminate them as that was my plan from the beginning. However, I can't bring myself to kill people indiscriminately, and Elena certainly don't want to see that kind of Vongola Family!"
If he could do it, he would have done it long ago. He would have forcefully conquered New World with both Vongola and Millefiore Family under his command. However, he couldn't bring himself to harm innocent people; that was something he would never do.
"Shut up! You're not worthy to mention her name!" Upon hearing that name, the name hidden deep within his heart, Demon Spade's expression instantly turned sinister. After yelling, he burst into laughter. "Hahaha! You're as naive as ever, just like back then, Primo! If there's one thing I regret, it's that I couldn't convince you back then. Had I been able to convince you to make Vongola Family truly powerful, none of this would have happened..."
"Demon Spade..." Giotto wanted to tell him that there was a way to bring Elena back, but he couldn't say it. If he did, the quest would fail automatically, and he would have died instantly.
"If I can't make you change, then I can only use my strength to make you submit. I'm sure you probably realize that we'll fight sooner or later, right, Primo? But even I will find it troublesome dealing with you on my own, so I bring a few friends!" Demon Spade said with a slight smile. Then, three people wearing white suit and strange masks suddenly emerged on the edge of Shiki's floating island, and each of them exuded unusually powerful aura.
CP0!
Those three CP0 agents were at least Admiral-level combatants, and the one on the middle was the strongest among them. Even Giotto were shocked when he saw them with his own eyes
It seemed that this man's strength surpassed even that of the former Fleet Admiral Kong!
Giotto didn't expect Demon Spade to bring CP0 agents with him.
With their arrival, things had become extremely troublesome. Three Admiral-level combatants suddenly appeared on top of Demon Spade.
"I had to put in a lot of effort to get make them join us," Demon Spade said with apparent satisfaction at the change in Giotto's expression. "So, I wonder how far can you go in this battlefield I've created for you, Primo?"
With a wave of his hand, the cloud instantly changed into a massive arena thanks to Demon Spade's Mist Flame. Although it was an illusion, it seemed remarkably real.
The three powerful CP0 agents jumped down from Shiki's floating island to this enormous arena.
"Hey, Demon Spade! What's the meaning of bringing World Government lapdogs here? I don't need those idiots..."
"Shut up!"
Before Shiki could finish his sentence, the man with Tengu mask struck him with a powerful punch to the abdomen. Shiki, whose body was already nearing its limits, couldn't withstand this blow. He spewed blood and couldn't even speak.
"Remnants of a bygone era should just die already. That way, people may still hail you as a legendary pirate. An Old timer like you causing trouble is no different from seeking death."
As he slowly let go of his punch, Shiki also fell while panting and temporarily unable to move.
The other two CP0 agents didn't even bother to look. It seemed like they were well aware that their colleague could easily deal with Shiki.
Although Shiki was nearing his limit due to his battle with Giotto, the fact that he was brought down so effortlessly indicated the strength of the man with the Tengu mask. His strength was indeed on a whole different level!
