Elena, a taboo name for Demon Spade! Even G seemed bewildered when Elena's name came up. Although Demon Spade had indeed made an unexpected choice just moments ago, Giotto said that Elena could come back to life, which was weird.
He swiflly headed towards Giotto as he was concerned that Demon Spade might suddenly attack Giotto, and considering Giotto's current state, he definitely wouldn't be able to defend himself.
"I'm not joking with you. I'm just stating a fact. I genuinely believe that I can bring Elena back up, so please don't get so worked up. If I lie to you, you're free to kill me." Giotto tried to calm Demon Spade down. Since he had completed the mission, there should be no problem in telling Demon Spade that he could bring Elena back to life.
There was no telling whether Demon Spade would have a change of heart again, but since the system already gave Giotto the reward, it most certainly wouldn't take it back. Even if Demon Spade didn't want to return to the Family, it would be his loss.
What could keep Demon Spade in rein? Only Elena could do that.
Upon hearing this, Demon Spade's expression changed drastically. He knew Giotto wouldn't joke about this kind of thing, but he also couldn't quite believe in such a miracle. But he forgot that Dying Will Flame, Devil Fruits, and their mere existence in One Piece Universe were far from scientific.
"I hope you're not trying to fool me with this, or you'll get what's coming!" After putting Giotto down, Demon Spade turned to Geno and said coldly. "Honestly, I didn't expect things to turn out this way, but since it has come to this, I hope you understand. Would you drop dead, please? Since it has come to this, I wouldn't want to leave any potential trouble behind."
At first, it was just a momentary impulse to stop Geno, but who would expect that the system interpreted Demon Spade's action as Giotto completing his mission, and now he had to protect Giotto as Giotto could bring Elena back to life!
Although creating the strong and feared Vongola Family had always been his dream, everything else seemed trivial compared to Elena.
Geno clearly didn't seem so pleased. He realized that he was the one whose back was against a corner. Tengu was defeated by G, Okuri had run out of gas after blasting his last attack at Giotto earlier, and Demon Spade turned against him, just like Alaudi.
"Hahaha! You reap what you sow World Government lapdogs!" Suddenly, Shiki, who had been lying on the side, burst into laughter. He wasn't dead yet, just exhausted, and he was overjoyed after seeing the CP0 agent found themselves in a pickle. He'd rather see Vongola Family emerge victorious than letting World Government benefit from this battle.
"Shut your mouth, remnants of the past era!" Geno was already irritated as it was, and he couldn't take it anymore when Shiki mocked him and used Shigan that pierced through Shiki's head.
Who would have thought that the legendary pirate would meet such an end?
"Very soon, you'll understand how wrong your choice was! Vongola Primo can no longer fight, so even if you change side, I'm still confident I can eliminate you. I simply have to kill one more!" Geno's eyes were ice cold as his Devil Fruit ability began to envelop the surrounding.
He couldn't retreat now that he was in the enemy's territory, so he might as well fight to the death. It would be great if he could kill Vongola Family's Guardians, but even if he couldn't, he still had a chance if he could hold out until the Marines arrived.
"Boom!" A thunderbolt sounded, and a massive thunder struck behind Geno, transforming into Lampow. "Then count me in as well. Perhaps three against one shouldn't make much of a difference for you."
When Demon Spade stopped Geno, Big Mom noticed that something was amiss, so she quickly gave up his battle with Lampow and retreated using Zeus. Lampow couldn't chase after them since Giotto's safety was more important.
Geno was still confident if he just faced G and Demon Spade, but now that Lampow had joined the battle, he certainly wouldn't stand a chance.
"I don't like working together with you guys, but what Primo said earlier definitely piqued my interest, so I don't mind helping you deal with this guy. But I have to make it clear that if Primo can't do what he just said, we're still enemies. Understand?"
Demon Spade said condescendingly.
"That should be our line! Although Primo has never blamed you, I won't forgive you so easily." G immediately retorted, "But for now, let's deal with the enemies in front of us first!"
"Then let me help too. Although I missed the major battle, I should be able to gather some data for Moska as there are some enemies left."
At this moment, Moska, who had evacuated Reborn to a safe area, also came. Spanner's voice could be heard from inside.
In the next moment, the three Guardians immediately attacked Geno, while Moska flew to the falling Floating Island to deal with the remaining pirates.
