บท 60: Open the Box Weapon

Kozuki Oden was surprised beyond belief. At first, he just wanted to teach Giotto a little lesson. After all, Kanjuro was his retainer, and being attacked out of nowhere was simply not fair. But, he didn't expect that Giotto was no longer like back then. Even after he got serious and fought Giotto with the intention of killing him, Giotto ultimately dodged his ultimate move and overpowered him.

The big fireball did not do anything to him. Although he couldn't move, he did not suffer much damage after using Color of Arms Haki to protect his body. However, the flame that came from the sky was different. The powerful impact penetrated his Color of Arms Haki, tearing his body apart.

At this moment, he even felt that his internal organs were damaged by the impact as he coughed out blood.

"Cough cough... Did I lose? To think that I'd be defeated before even going up against Kaido. I really am a good-for-nothing man!"

Kozuki Oden slumped to the ground. His body was no longer able to stand.

Seeing their master end up in such a state, Kin'emon and the others immediately rushed forward, protecting Kozuki Oden behind them. At the same time, they stared at Vongola Family and the others with vigilance.

On the other hand, Belphegor and the others looked up at the empty sky at this time, and no one knew what they were doing.

"Bel-senpai, do you think Big Brother Giotto has returned to the God Realm?" Enel looked at the sky with a face full of admiration.

"Hmm, I can't say for sure, ushishishi." Belphegor was also looking for his boss, but even after looking up for quite a while, he still could not find where Giotto had run off to.

"Could it be that Big Brother Giotto went off to find Kaido by himself? After all, fighting Kozuki Oden is not our goal. After he defeated Kozuki Oden, he might go directly to suppress Kaido."

Crowley carefully analyzed the current situation and came to the most likely conclusion in his head.

Otherwise, how else would he explain Giotto's disappearance?

"It's not impossible, but is Primo always that hasty?" Lussuria thought Crowley's judgment was correct, but he also felt that Giotto would not be as reckless as trying to fight the enemy's leader alone.

Anyway, no matter what the situation was, it was the fact that Giotto was missing now!

So, what should they do?

The few of them looked at each other and continued to look up at the sky as if they were in a daze. They were still trying to find where Giotto was with their eyes.

In the sky above Kuri.

Giotto himself did not know how to describe this situation. However, at least he didn't bump into anything due to X-Burner's recoil. In just a few moments, he was sent flying to the empty sky.

He estimated that it would take him a while to reach the ground. Fortunately, there was no plane in the world of pirates. Otherwise, if he bumped into a plane, he would not be injured.

At this time, since Giotto was too high in the sky, he couldn't hear the conversation between Enel and others. Otherwise, he would roll his eyes. After all, in their mind, he either went to fight Kaido alone or returned to the God Realm.

Even though Giotto didn't bump into anything in the sky, it was certainly inconvenient to be sent flying each time he used X-Burner.

Giotto felt that he had grasped the trick to using X-Burner. After a long silence, he suddenly cursed, "Tsk! Why didn't I ask Irie and Verde to create a tool to balance soft Sky Flame and hard Sky Flame so that I can use X-Burner properly? Those two shouldn't have a problem making what Spanner could make, right?

As Giotto fell, he also evaluated himself as he thought that his flame's temperature was still too low even though it certainly covered a wide area.

"I will ask them to make that tool for me and then raise the temperature of Flame-Flame Fruit's flame to six hundred degrees Celsius. Giotto set a target for himself as he descended. He didn't know if he would land at the same place, but it shouldn't be a problem even if he was a little bit off.

"Forget it, Primo should be fine on his own. Since we can't find him, we will stop searching for the time being."

Belphegor lowered his head, and then his killing intent was locked onto the Kozuki Clan's retainers. "Taking care of the enemy first is what we should do now, right? Especially that guy who hides something. Just looking at him makes me itch!"

Sensing the killing intent coming from Bel, the faces of Kin'emon and the others changed. Right now, their Lord was in a horrible state. Fighting was obviously disadvantageous to their side. Although they did not know where Giotto was, he could come back at any time. The person who could defeat their Lord was not someone they could deal with.

So...

"Kanjuro, Raizo, you guys are in charge of protecting Oden-sama!"

At this moment, Kin'emon gripped his long sword with both hands, and his eyes flashed with a cold light. "Leave the enemy to us. However, the two of you must remember this clearly. Once you can find an opening, immediately take Lord Oden and leave this place!"

He had to ensure Kozuki Oden's safety. This was the highest priority!

"ushishishi! Who wants to go first?"

This time, Belphegor directly took out a small box. At the same time, the Varia ring he wore on his left hand emitted the red Storm Flame...

In the next moment, he aimed the ring at the box, gently put it down, and the box was opened!
