Following the smell of roasted meat, they walked toward the depths of the island.
Not long after, they saw a red-haired man who was dead drunk, as well as a gentleman who was sitting elegantly beside him, sipping the wine.
Needless to say, these two people were Shanks and Hawkeye Mihawk.
Compared to Shanks' sloppy personality, Mihawk would obviously pay more attention to his words and actions. Giotto just did not know where he kept his wine cups and chair with him. Could it be that they were placed on his small ship?
Forget it, it was the same as Garp pulling out a giant iron ball from his crotch. He did not understand at all!
"Huh? If it isn't this Giotto"
Seeing Giotto appear in his field of vision, Shanks suddenly became sober, as if the alcohol he had gulped in disappear in an instant, "We haven't seen each other for several years, and you still haven't changed from before... Scratch that, it is not right to say that. Now you are a big shot in the New World. Although you are not a pirate, this makes me feel left behind.
In Shanks 'eyes, he felt that Giotto was very suitable to become a powerful pirate. If Vongola Family was replaced by Vongola's Pirates, it would be perfect.
Mafia or whatever it was, compared to pirates who freely sailed on the sea, it was a level worse!
Of course, he would not say this in front of Giotto, otherwise, he might be beaten up by his old friend.
"There is no such thing as leaving anything behind. No matter which path we choose, we are moving toward our own future. Speaking of which, I have seen Buggy before. Compared to you, he seems to work harder. After all, he has found his own companion ." Giotto smiled and deliberately mentioned Buggy.
Anyway, he was not lying. Buggy indeed had his own companions, although they were all a group of... trash?
Sure enough, when he heard the news of Buggy, Shanks' eyes also changed slightly. In the past, when he was on the ship, he liked to compete with Buggy. Now it seemed that it was still the same.
After a moment of silence, Shanks stretched and smiled, "Is that so? Is Buggy also working hard for the future? It seems that I have to find my own companions... Hey, Mihawk, do you want to board my ship?"
Since there was one right in front of him, why bother searching everywhere?
He'd search for more companions anyway. If he could bring Mihawk into his group, then he would have a perfect start, right?
"Your ship? I don't mind if you row the boat with your hands, but do I have to squeeze in to your small boat? I don't have any special interest in men, so I'll refuse." Mihawk glanced at Shanks. It was not like he had never seen Shank's boat.
To be honest, he felt that Shanks was a person who could accomplish great things just because he could use a boat like that to sail on the sea for several years!
But if you wanted me to sit on that small boat too, I'd rather not...
After being rejected by Hawkeye, Shanks subconsciously shifted his gaze to Giotto.
"Why are you looking at me? Don't tell me you still want me to bring Vongola Family to your boat. Your small boat plan can't even fit it, right?" Giotto was speechless. Even Shanks dared to target him.
"Hey, it's not like you have to bring all your Family along. I think it's enough for you to bring a few Guardians."
Shanks scratched his head as if not realizing that there was anything wrong with what he said.
He didn't even notice that the corner of Giotto's mouth twitched.
I might as well go back and change Vongola Family's name to the Red-Haired Pirates to see if you are satisfied.
"Come on, just look for your companions. Don't think about these things."
As he spoke, Giotto turned to look at Hawkeye and said directly, "Mihawk, do you want to join my Family?"
"No thanks. I am used to being alone and I don't intend to join any side. But then again, I heard that your Family's Rain Guardian is a skilled swordsman. I originally planned to go to the New World to spar with him. Now that I meet you, I can ask about his situation. Is Ugetsu Asari's swordsmanship really as good as the rumors say?"
Hawkeye directly refused. At the same time, he asked about the things he was interested in. In this world, the only people he was interested in were skilled swordsmen.
Since the battle in Wano Country, Ugetsu Asari's name could be said to have spread throughout the world. Hawkeye had long since had the idea of challenging him.
His swordsmanship allowed him to reach a higher level in the path of the sword.
Giotto knew that Hawkeye would ask this question, so he was ready to answer: "Ugetsu's swordsmanship? Would you believe me if I said it was peerless?"
That's right, it was peerless in the world!
Ugetsu Asari's swordsmanship talent was extremely terrifying, and he could even create moves during battle. Moreover, the moves he created at the last minute were exquisite.
"Peerless? I understand now. Soon, I will head to the New World. I hope that I can experience that peerless sword technique you speak of."
Hawkeye nodded. At this moment, his hawk-like eyes lit up with a strong fighting spirit. Even the corners of his mouth inexplicably revealed a smile.
What was more exciting than knowing there was an unparalleled swordsman out there? More importantly, that master swordsman could be found at any time. It was in the territory of the Vongola Family in the New World. As long as the other party was really worthy of the words "Peerless", then the journey to pursue the pinnacle of the sword path in the future would not be lonely.
"Forget it. Since I have already done what I should do, I will not disturb the two of you."
Giotto looked at Shanks and Mihawk, then turned around and walked away. "See you in the New World in the future. When you get there, don't forget to come to Secon Island and have a toast with me."
"Of course, I will definitely go to the New World, after finding my companion!" Shanks nodded in high spirits and subconsciously put his hand on the straw hat side him. He did not forget the significance of this straw hat and would never forget it.
In the New World, it wouldn't take long for him to become famous there.
