Kalifa and the other CP9 agents breathed a sigh of relief as she saw the boat with Vongola Family emblem sailed away.
It was fortunate that their incompetent commander didn't issue any strange orders this time. It was probably because of Giotto's reputation, too. Even the dumbest person wouldn't dare to provoke such a powerful person.
Spandam could at least still tell which one was more important between promotion and his life. Besides, he didn't think that CP9 could win against Vongola Primo even if they ganged up on him. After all, not even CP0 could defeat him!
So this time, he wisely chose to report the situation to the higher brass and received the order to not engage Vongola Primo!
The Marine Headquarters and the World Government were not ready for a war with Vongola Family at the moment.
"Aria, aren't you curious why I didn't just help Iceberg eliminate the undercover World Government agents around him?"
Giotto asked on the the boat.
Hearing this, Aria only smiled gently. "Why should I? We didn't come out here to solve other people's problems. We don't have the time or obligation to meddle in someone else's business. Warning him out of respect for Master Tom and leaving a Den Den Mushi are more than enough. Besides, even if we get rid of those Cipher Pol agents, the World Government could easily sneak in new undercover agents once we leave."
"But on another note, do you think I'm that clueless?" Aria said with cold eyes as she pinched Giotto's ear with one hand. Although she didn't pinch it that hard, the scene clearly showed her dominance.
In reality, except for formal occasions, Giotto was a henpecked husband. To be more precise, no one in Vongola Family dared to mess with Aria, not even Xanxus.
Well, Giotto wasn't the only henpecked husband in the family. Did you see how the arrogant Demon Spade was led by the nose by Elena?
Becoming henpecked husbands were inevitable, so there was no point in laughing at others.
"Hahaha, I never thought I'd see such an amusing sight. It seems that I set sail at the perfect time! I didn't expect that you had that kind of side. I wouldn't believe it hadn't I see it with my own eyes hahaha!"
Suddenly, a loud laughter echoed from not far away.
Giotto and Aria turned around and saw a Vice Admiral warship. The one who laughed heartily on the deck of that Marine warship was none other than Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp!
The moment they spotted the old man, Giotto's lips couldn't help but twitch. Who would have expected to bump into this shameless old man? And at such an awkward moment on top of it! They should've noticed that the Marines were approaching, but they were too absorbed in their conversation.
How wonderful, Giotto's reputation was officially ruined in one day!
Then again, why was this old guy here?
"Hey, Garp! If what you saw earlier gets out, believe me, I'll wage war against the Marines!"
Watching Garp, who was laughing so hard, Giotto couldn't remain calm anymore. He then shouted again, "Do you understand? Do you think I'm joking with you? The Marines isn't in the condition to fight me!"
"Hahaha! Then come if you have the guts! I'll be waiting for your grand entrance in Marineford. Besides, everyone in this ship saw that scene clearly. Even if you can shut my mouth, can you shut all of us? Hahaha! I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore. This is too much."
Garp didn't care at all about Giotto's threats. If it were a ruthless pirate, he might need to worry, but Giotto...
He knew this guy and knew he wouldn't get so worked up over something so trivial. So, he just laughed so hard without a care about Giotto's threats.
Moreover, there was no one in this world that Garp was afraid of!
Even if Roger came out of his grave Garp wouldn't even frown!
"Hey, Garp, Can't you be serious for once? Moreover, as a Marine Vice-Admiral, shouldn't you be arresting me when you run into me instead of laughing?"
Giotto would rather see Garp punch him than watching this old guy laugh so hard. He said, "Stop laughing for god's sake. I swear I'll use X-Burner to blow up your ship if you don't stop."
"Hahaha! If you can do it, then bring it on on, Li'l Giotto. My iron fists can handle your attacks just fine. As for why I'm not arresting you..."
While still laughing heartily, Garp replied, "I don't want to do something that's both useless and troublesome. I've got important matters to attend to this time, and I don't have the time to play with you here."
This time, he had indeed set sail for an important reason. After all, his grandson had become a pirate, and as a good grandfather, he had to guide his grandson to become a Marine soldier. He was certain his grandson could become an outstanding Marine!
"Who's messing around, here? Damn Garp, one day I'll be the one laughing at you!"
Giotto truly had no good way to deal with Garp.
But just you wait, Garp. When Luffy set out to the sea, we'll see who would have the last laugh!
After a cold snort, Giotto used his Devil Fruit ability to accelerate the ship. Since he couldn't stop this old guy from laughing, he might as well get far away from him to avoid getting annoyed...
