Two Years

After handing the money to Xanxus, Umit was trying to find a way to cover up this embarrassment. However, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world, and Umit sure didn't notice that an albatross appeared in the sky when Xanxus and the others went to the island.

There was no doubt that the albatross was none other than another Emperor in the Dark World, "Big News Morgan"!

Therefore, the news about Umit being forced to pay his debt to Vongola Family quickly spread throughout the whole New World. It was estimated that not long after, even paradise and the four seas would know about this matter. Of course, there were not many people outside the New World were involved in the Underworld, and even fewer people knew about the Deep Sea Current, Umit.

The only thing that could make Umit feel a little better was another big news that overshadowed his scandal. It was the news about Whitebeard's Jolly Roger that was raised in Fish-Man Island, and now the strongest pirate group in the sea announced to protect the Fish-Man Island!

This made many people, especially those human traffickers in Underworld, felt that they would lose their money, but so what?

Even the Emperors of the Underworld did not dare to provoke Whitebeard, let alone the rest.

At the same time, Totto Land's territory also expanded a lot. Aside from Kaido, who disappeared, the big pirates in the New World were forming their own forces.

As for Giotto, now that he had money, he had fewer things to do. Although he and Ugetsu Asari defeated Kaido in Wano Country, he did not slack off because of this. Every day, he was training himself. Be it Haki or Devil Fruit's ability, both were improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Vongola Family also grew in terms of territory. In addition to Secon Island as their base, Wano Country, Green Iron Island, and White Stone Island, Dressrosa was also under Vongola Family's protection, and the two islands near Secon Island, namely the Rising Sun Island and the Clear Rain Island, were also occupied.

However, this time, the completion rate of the mission did not increase, which frustrated Giotto for a while. It seemed that the completion rate of the mission wouldn't increase unless the territory and power increased on a large scale.

But it was not a problem. After all, Wano Country was now part of their territory.

Therefore, besides honing his strength, Giotto set his sights on establishing the External Advisors.

The sea was stable recently, and two years had passed before Giotto realized it.

Vongola's base was much more luxurious than before. Many necessary facilities had been built. For example, Giotto's training room. After two years, the temperature of Flame-Flame Fruit's flame had risen to 1,300 degrees Celsius, which was very good.

After all, Giotto had developed his Devil Fruit ability by himself. Unlike Dying Will Flame and Haki, a reward from the system couldn't help him improve his Flame-Flame Fruit's mastery.

"What a hot room. If this weren't really necessary, I wouldn't come here to find you, Primo."

At this time, Reborn stood not too far with paperwork in his hand and said wearily, "Based on the investigation and research, combined with your previous suggestion, we have already sorted out the suitable personnel for the External Advisors. Do you want to take a look?"

"Activates mission: Recruit native world powerhouses as External Advisors(0/5)."

Giotto did not expect the system would trigger a mission at this time. It seemed that forming External Advisors could really raise the completion rate of the Family, but he did not know how much it would increase.

As for the native world powerhouses that this mission referred to, it was highly likely that it meant that he had to recruit some famous characters in this world. Recruiting some no name character probably wouldn't do him any good.

However, in this world, there were not that many suitable people to be recruited.

"Just tell me directly, Reborn." Giotto tidied up his clothes and said directly.

"Well, I think that the people who deserve to join the External Advisors, in addition to the people you mentioned before, are Hawkeye Mihawk, the swordsman that became famous in the sea recently, the former vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, Rayleigh..."

Reborn said some names at once. While these people were indeed capable, it was not easy to invite them.

Take his former vice-captain as an example. He lived his retired life in the Sabaody. Even if Giotto tried to persuade him, he would not want to join Giotto.

As for Hawkeye Mihawk, that guy has always been a loner and arrogant. It was very difficult to get him to join Vongola Family and become a member of the External Advisors.

It was better to look out for the people that Giotto had thought about before, such as Jinbei, Tessoro, Nico Robin, Hancock, etc.

Although some of them were still a kid, they would eventually grow up, right?

And the native world powerhouses mentioned by the system did not specifically say that they must be capable in combat. Robin was an archaeologist and could be considered strong in this aspect!

"I got it."

As he spoke, Giotto took Reborn's list. "Have Colonello ask Hyogoro to join the External Advisor, but there is no need to force him. As for the others, I will personally pay them a visit. Since we want to invite these guys, I should at least show enough sincerity, right?"

In reality, he was just a little bored after cooping up on Secon Island for two years. However, Giotto would definitely not say this out loud. Reborn might not have any problems hearing this, but things might get ugly if these words were to reach Shoichi Irie's ears.

Shoichi Irie, who was extremely serious in his work, would definitely remind himself to behave befitting a leader every day like a broken record.

"Well, since you have decided to go on your own, we don't need to worry about anything else."

Reborn seemed to have foreseen this result. "However, do you need me to inform the Guardians? Even if Knuckle is responsible for guarding the headquarters, you can bring Ugetsu with you."

"There is no need for that. It is not like I'm going out to fight. But you can inform Ugetsu and have him prepare. Maybe soon, there will be a very powerful swordsman who will challenge him!"
