280 Lampow's Plan

Demon Spade's lie couldn't be more obvious. If Giotto really intended to give the ring to him, why would he bother hiding it somewhere? Moreover, during the Guardian meeting, although Lampow did not say much, he was present. He also remembered that it was G who asked Giotto to hide the Mist Ring.

Hearing such a lie, Lampow just sighed and said, "Do you take me for an idiot?"

"Huh? So you are not?" Demon Spade pretended to be surprised.

This made Lampow very angry. Thunder was surging in the sky. Hadn't Secon Island been their headquarters and there were a lot of civilians around, Lampow would've struck Demon Spade down a bolt of lightning and then see whether he could still run his mouth by then!

"I won't tell you where the ring is. If you don't have any ill intentions, feel free to stay here and wait for Primo. You can also leave if you want. You should have already predicted when you came to Secon Island that I can't stop you if you really want to leave. So, you can do whatever you want, but if you dare to make trouble, this thunder will kill you!"

After saying this, Lampow yawned and left. There was no need to do anything as long as Demon Spade didn't do anything.

Demon Spade grinned and then looked at the direction of Vongola Family's headquarter.

After standing in place for a long time, he disappeared. Nothing happened afterwards.

Ten days later.

Giotto, Aria, Kuina, and Sabo also returned to Secon Island. Before this, they had received the news from G that the Sun Pirates were safe and sound. The three of them also retreated very easily. However, before leaving, they fought with the three future Admirals. The casualties were minimum as only Issho and Akainu were injured.

Among them all Issho and Akainu's fight was the most serious one, mainly because Akainu was a little too serious, so Issho had no choice but to fight with all his strength.

After Sabo arrived at Secon Island, he was directly thrown to Reborn for training. With Reborn's guidance, he could quickly become stronger be it mentally or physically, especially after seeing how vast the sea truly was on the way. It made him determined to become strong enough to set out to the sea.

When he was in East Blue, Sabo thought that people with a few million Belly bounty was a very powerful person. But when he was brought to Vongola Family, he knew that even the well-known pirates with more than a hundred million Belly bounty could not afford to offend Vongola Family.

"Oh, so Demon Spade came? It sounds like he is just dissatisfied with me."

Giotto sat in front of Lampow and said softly, "Lampow, if I start to conquer the whole New World now, will Demon Spade change his mind and return to the Family?"

If he could subdue Demon Spade this way, Giotto didn't mind giving it a try, even though this would inevitably lead to a more intense war than the past battles. The big pirates in New World would most likely band together under Whitebeard, Big Mom, or even Shiki!

Vongola Family indeed had the power to conquer the New World or even oppose the World Government.

But if he did so, he couldn't guarantee that the Family wouldn't suffer any casualties, and that was not what he wanted to see. Even if he did want to conquer the New World, he hoped to ensure that there were no casualties.

Moreover, this method violated the meaning of Vongola Family's existence. Therefore, Giotto just wanted to let Vongola carry out their ideology to protect. He'd leave the conquering part to Millefiore Family.

On the other hand, he needed more people to guard his territories if he wanted to expand his territory. Although each of Arcobaleno was very strong, they could only fight for fifteen minutes at full power, so it was not the right decision to have them protect an island alone. Varia was already responsible for Wano Country, and External Advisor also had Ryusu Island to manage.

As for the Guardians, Knuckle and Ugetsu Asari both had an island they were in charge of. Giotto couldn't possibly ask Alaudi to manage an island either, as his personality certainly didn't fit for that. As things were, the only ones who could protect new territories were G and Lampow. Although they were really strong, Giotto felt that they still had ways to go if he planned to expand the territory!

"Well, you'll have to decide for yourself. I will definitely support you whatever you choose. My way of thinking maybe different from others..."

Lampow supported his head with one hand, although his tone and expression were still lazy. "It's true that Vongola Family was born to protect, but you're the leader, so if you want to make some changec, we'll follow your decision."

Lampow was certainly spoiled most of the time, but that made him more pure than others. He simply acknowledged Giotto regardless of the Family's ideology.

After hearing Lampow's words, Giotto felt a bit moved. Lampow also made him understand one thing.

Everyone in Vongola Family wouldn't mind accepting change as long as the person who made this change was Giotto, not Demon Spade!
