Secon Island, Vongola Family headquarters.
Giotto was bandaged up like a mummy at this point. His entire body was covered in bandages due to so many injuries he had sustained.
As for the three CP0 agents, they all had lost their lives at the hands of Vongola Family Guardians. Even someone as formidable as Geno couldn't withstand the combined assault of G, Lampow, and Demon Spade, while the Marines that Geno had been expecting had not showed up even now. According to the information that circulated, the Marines still had his hands full with Varia and the Red Hairs Pirates.
"Notify Knuckle and Ugetsu to assist Varia. At the same time, inform the Marines of the situation on Secon Island to force them to retreat!"
Giotto sat in a chair, and apart from moving his mouth, any movement on any part of his body caused excruciating pain. "After driving away the Marines, have Varia return to Wano to recuperate. In addition, invite Shanks to Secon Island for a drink in case he's interested. As for Alaudi, he'll do whatever he wants I think, so there's no point in giving him any order."
"Understood, I'll immediately inform Knuckle and Ugetsu." Robin nodded and went to inform the two Guardians.
Now that they no longer had to worry about Demon Spade, there was no need to keep an eye on the Mist Ring anymore, so Knuckle and Ugetsu could be mobilized at any time.
"By the way, have them bring the ring. When they return, we can return the Mist Ring to its rightful owner." Giotto remembered this matter and mentioned, "And Spade, you should return Fran's ring. That poor kid had been getting an earful by Xanxus."
"That talented little illusionist, right? Here you go, it's not important to me anyway."
Demon Spade then took off Fran's Varia Ring and placed it on the table, then fixed his gaze on Giotto. "You know what I'm here for, right, Primo? When will you fulfill what you promised? If you can really do it, I will accept any punishment, even if you want to take my life!"
What he cared about was Elena, and he was willing to do whatever it took to bring her back to life. For him, she was a woman that was more powerful and beautiful than anyone, the eternal light that illuminated Demon Spade's life, and the path she had chosen was the path of Vongola Family.
In the beginning, he harbored no hatred for Vongola Family. Back then, he and Elena treasured Vongola Family.
In fact, it was Elena who introduced him to Giotto. Demon Spade joined Vongola Family because of Elena, but he also loved the family, not just because of Elena, but also because he felt the warmth of the Family. Thus, he devoted everything he had for Vongola Family.
However, those joyful times didn't last long because Giotto began to change. He was too soft, and eventually, Giotto disbanded his military forces. This created an opportunity for a rival Mafia Family to invade their territory, and Elena passed away during the invasion. Because of this, Demon Spade finally understood that without power, he couldn't save anyone. So he started to hate the weak Vongola Family, Vongola Primo's naivety, and kindness.
Even so, he never gave up on the Family. He just wanted Vongola Family to monopolize all the power, wealth, and strength, ruling everything with absolute power, and creating a Vongola Family that made everyone tremble in fear.
"Don't worry, Spade. No one will take your life, and everything will change in the future. Once my injuries have healed, I will bring Elena to you, and then..."
Giotto's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice, "Destroy Totto Land! There are too many people who oppose us. Since Big Mom has attacked us again and again, there is no longer any reason to let her live. In this vast sea, it's impossible to survive with just kindness!"
Hearing this, G and Lampow's expressions remained unchanged. They didn't see any problem with Giotto's decision, and since it was Giotto's decision, they didn't oppose it.
Peace or war, they didn't see a significant difference.
It was Spandam who had a strange look on his face, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard. "Destroy Totto Land...? Are you really Vongola Primo?"
Hearing this, Giotto almost choked. He had to admit that Demon Spade was getting close to the truth. He was not really Vongola Primo, but he did make sure to make himself look like one.
Although he had mimicked Vongola Primo's behaviour and personality, there were still some fundamental differences. For example, the real Vongola Primo wouldn't have done this as he disliked conflict.
"Setting the jokes aside, I did see some things from another perspective. There are many things in this world that cannot be achieved with blind peace. On another note, if we're going to destroy Totto Land, let's give a portion of Totto Land to Shanks. That way the balance of power in New World wouldn't change as much."
Giotto thought of Shanks and said in a low voice, "But instead of Whitebeard and Big Mom, it'd be Whitebeard and Red Hairs, it's not bad."
Shanks had helped a lot this time. If it weren't for him, the Marines might have made it to Secon Island in time. If the Marines showed up, the fierce battle wouldn't have ended so easily.
So having Shanks assume Big Mom's throne was a good idea.
The balance of power in New World must be maintained. After this big battle, the World Government would inevitably pay more attention to Vongola Family. Shanks stepping up could be considered as a way to maintain a balance of power in New World power in a way.
Moreover, if the New World was ruled by Vongola Family, Whitebeard Pirates, and Red Hairs Pirates, the probability of disputes between them would be close to zero, at least for some time.
