Kill everyone! Spare no one!
In the past, Giotto would never utter such words. His kindness ran deep in his bones, but now he seemed to have changed. It wasn't clear if this change was due to Demon Spade's emergence or some other reason.
However, G didn't care about that. As long as the person in front of him was still Giotto, that was enough. Whether he decided to spare Shiki and Big Mom after the battle or to exterminate all the invading enemies, it didn't matter!
"Well, you've made your decision. I'll have to maintain the protective shield in a while, so I won't be able to help you in battle. But with Lampow and the Arcobaleno at your side, dealing with the likes of Shiki and Big Mom should be no problem."
After saying this, G headed to the technical department. The control room for the protective shield was located there. In this upcoming battle, he would focus on maintaining the shield to ensure the safety of Secon Island. As for the battle...
While he couldn't directly participate, shooting a few arrows at critical moments wouldn't be a problem.
Shortly after G left, Reborn came with the other Arcobaleno, excluding Verde and Colonello. Verde was a researcher, and unless it was absolutely necessary, it was better not to involve him in combat. As for the latter, he was currently at the Golden Paradise, so he was clearly not involved in the battle on Secon Island.
"Why did you come, too?" Giotto was a bit surprised because he remembered assigning Aria to protect the civilians. Aria, while also a member of the Arcobaleno, didn't possess the combat capabilities.
"Don't worry, I won't leave the protective shield, so you don't need to worry about me. I came here just to wait for your triumphant return."
Aria smiled and then walked over to Giotto. Before he could react, her soft lips already gently brushed against his cheek. "I'll reward you when you come back. Make sure to protect our Family, okay?"
With Aria stealing a kiss like that, Giotto was left momentarily stunned.
This feeling... isn't bad!
"Aria-senpai, I personally think that we shouldn't do anything that might affect the boss's state of mind at this critical moment, like what you just did. It's possible that such actions could affect boss' state of mind and subsequently impact the battle. If boss gets injured or something during the fight with Shiki or Big Mom because of such actions, you'll be held responsible!"
Right when Aria kissed Giotto, Robin arrived. She had seen the entire thing, and looked at Aria with hostile eyes.
"Huh? If it's not little Robin. Want to give it a try too?"
Aria didn't seem to mind at all and even teased Robin. She could see through the little girl's thoughts. She at first didn't know whether Primo was simply oblivious or just didn't have such intentions, so Aria had asked around about it before and found out that Primo seemed to treat Robin as a little sister.
"I'm sorry, Aria-senpai, but I won't do anything shameful in public."
Robin tilted her head slightly, but while speaking, she cast a glance at Giotto's face.
Should I give it a try or wait until after the battle...
Robin's face turned completely red when she thought about this. However, at this moment, Giotto didn't turn around to witness this scene. He was staring intently at the sky outside, using Color of Observation Haki to sense the surroundings.
Currently, Secon Island's combatants weren't particularly strong. There were only six highly-skilled combatants on their side. Among them, G had to maintain the protective shield, while Reborn, Fon, and Mammon could only fight at full power for fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, they wouldn't be able to exert their full power. Even though those three were quite formidable even in their infantile form, facing the likes of Shiki and Big Mom in infantile form wasn't ideal.
Ugetsu Asari and Knuckle both needed to guard the island they were in charge of. Giotto had considered having them return to Secon Island, but he ultimately abandoned that idea. After all, they didn't know how many enemies would be sent to attack Clear Rain Island and Sunshine Island. Moreover, someone also had to keep an eye on Mist Ring to make sure Demon Spade didn't take advantage of this situation to snatch the Mist Ring.
Although Demon Spade had acquired Fran's Ring recently, it still fell short compared to the Vongola Ring.
As for Alaudi...
Well, Giotto hadn't contacted him recently, and he had no idea where he was at the moment. It was probably impossible for him to rush back, so they had to make do with the available combatants on Secon Island to face the impending battle.
"Primo, the strongest opponent among the enemies are Shiki and Big Mom, but we should be cautious in case they have something else up their sleeve. Moreover, there's a high chance that Demon Spade will be involved this time, and based on his conversation with Lampow, his target is you!" Reborn said with a serious face. Although they still had advantage in terms of strength, he had a bad feeling about this battle.
"I'm sure of it! I'm sure Demon Spade is involved this time, and he will put Primo in danger!" Aria suddenly said.
"Did you foresee the future?" Giotto eventually said after thinking for a moment. Since Aria sounded so sure, she must have predicted the future.
After a moment of silence, Aria nodded and said, "Yeah, but it's just the fragments. I saw Demon Spade in the fragments, and I also saw the fight between you and him…"
Since Aria had said so, that meant the enemies they would face weren't just Big Mom and Shiki, but also the shrewd Demon Spade!
"Jihahaha, do you remember what I told you before, little Vongola? You'll regret rejecting my proposal, just like Roger did!"
Following a crazy laughter, Shiki appeared in the sky...
