Mayor Iceberg

Giotto next headed to Water 7. The purpose of his visit was to pay his respect to Master Tom.

Giotto knew that Master Tom would be targeted by the World Government, so before that incident happened, he had Issho contact Master Tom, saying that Vongola Family was willing to extend a helping hand. However, Master Tom refused. Although he didn't know what was in Master Tom's mind at the time, but according to what he said to Issho, he had already built several magnificent ships, carrying proud men to sail on the sea. Then, he used his last bit of energy to create the sea train that could save Water 7. He felt that he had led a fulfilling life. And in his final moment, he could still save his apprentices that he treated like his own children, and that was more than enough.

Just like how Shanks bet his arm on the future, and Master Tom bet his life on Franky and Iceburg's future!

This made Giotto feel like the will of the world was paving the way for the future Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy. After all, Franky was Luffy's shipwright in the future.

"This city is different from before. Thanks to the Sea Train Master Tom built, this city has been revitalized. However, the one who revitalized this city is no longer here."

After disembarking the ship, Giotto and Aria set foot in this water capital. Compared to a few years ago, this city was indeed much more prosperous. The Sea Train has made business more convenient. Although it still took the brunt of Aqua Laguna, it was no longer as deadly for the rapidly developing Water 7.

"Giotto, there are some guys with ill intentions watching us! But you've probably already noticed, right? And it seems like you know who they are, right?" Aria frowned slightly. She didn't like being disturbed while on her honeymoon, especially by some random.

"Well, they're acquaintances' underlings, you could say. I just ignore them out of my respect for Master Tom. As long as they don't pick a fight, I'll let it slide."

The only people who would be foolish enough to tail people like him in Water 7 were probably just the hooligans of Franky Family. But one thing that puzzled Giotto was that he didn't conceal his identity this time, and he was quite famous. Could it be that none of those hooligans recognized him?

If this were to get out, he didn't know how many people would laugh at him!

Of course, it would be Giotto who would be laughed at instead of Franky Family as there were some people out there who didn't recognize him!

Most people probably would not do this, but Shanks would definitely make fun of him for this.

"If that's the case, let's just pretend they don't exist. But they seem to have targeted our ship. Is that still okay? There are quite a few things we bought on the ship, and I'd be very angry if they were taken away," Aria said with a smile, but it was one scary smile.

She didn't want the carefully selected items for this trip to be taken by these Water 7 hooligans.

"That is easy!"

Giotto used his Color of Supreme King Haki specifically at the hooligans from Franky Family who were watching them, and all of them fainted in an instant. "Alright, let's go to Galley-La Company. After paying our respects to Master Tom, we can have Iceburg take us around Water 7. After all, he's the mayor here."

Finding the elusive Iceburg in Water 7 might not be an easy task for ordinary people, but for Giotto and Aria, it was quite simple. With their Color of Observation Haki, finding someone in Water 7 took no time at all.

Not long after, the two of them found that guy with a striped suit and a secretary by his side in one of Galley-La Company's shipyards.

"Hey, li'l Iceburg, it's been a long time. Do you still recognize me?" Giotto greeted Iceburg as he walked up to him.

The instant Iceburg turned around, the look on his face immediately changed. Even though he and Giotto weren't that close. They had only met a couple of times before, but it certainly left quite an impression for him. After all, Giotto was his teacher's friend, and also a well-known figure. Even if most people here didn't recognize him, he remembered him very well.

After all, Vongola Primo was a person who single-handedly fended off Aqua Laguna!

Compared to the change in Iceburg's face, the blond-haired, bespectacled secretary beside him was even more shocked, but she quickly hid it. However, her heart was beating very fast because she really couldn't imagine that she would encounter a big shot from the New World in Water 7.

"How could I not recognize you? You've left a very deep impression on this city. But what brings you here this time, Vongola Primo? Could it be that there's something wrong with the ship Master Tom built previously, and it needs repairs or..."

Iceberg's guess was the ship. If there was a problem with the ship his teacher built, he would do everything in his power to repair it because that ship that his teacher made.

"Don't jump into conclusion; I haven't said anything yet!"

Giotto patted Iceberg's shoulder and then said, "This time, we've come for two reasons. One is to pay our respects to Master Tom, and the other is to spend a few days exploring Water 7. Oh, by the way, have you been keeping up with the news recently? Let me introduce you; this is my wife, Aria. We're here for our honeymoon, nothing special."

"Oh, I see. Then I must show the best hospitality I can give."

Iceburg smiled and then said, "Kalifa, cancel all the plans for today. Just tell them I have a very important guest here."

"Kalifa?"

"Kalifa!"

Normally, Kalifa would have answered long ago. However, at this moment, she completely ignored Iceburg's words. She wasn't focused on Iceburg's words anymore; she was focused on the man standing in front of Iceburg.

After a while, Kalifa finally reacted, "Ah! Yes, I understand."

"Kalifa, you've been acting a little strange today!" Iceburg didn't know what was wrong with Kalifa was like this, but he felt a little strange."
