A Free Hero

Acknowledgment? Family?

Those were very strange words for Kyros.

"Thank you!"

Kyros grabbed Giotto's hand and stood up. Then he bowed deeply and said, "If you say that much, I am truly honored to be your Family. But can you give me some time?"

"Why? Are you still reluctant to leave this cage?" Giotto teased.

"No, I have to repay my kindness. His Majesty, King Riku, has been so kind to. He has taught me what it means to be benevolent. So, I will definitely come to you after I repay his kindness! When the time comes, please show me see the outside world."

At this moment, the look in Kyros's eyes was completely different from before. There was already a light called hope in his eyes.

"I got it."

Without saying anything else, Giotto patted Kyros on the shoulder and turned to leave.

"Please wait a moment. I still don't know your name, the name of my... Family!" Kyros revealed a smile on his face. He hadn't smiled for so long that it was closer to crying than a smile. It was partly because his face was too ferocious. He'd seem serious even when he smiled or cried.

"Vongola Giotto, come and find me on Secon Island. It's famous for its hot spring, be sure to try it when you get there."

Waving his hand, Giotto left. His purpose of coming here had been achieved. He believed that Kyros would go to Secon Island to find him later.

In any case, Kyros would not leave the Colosseum in a while. Just as he said, he ought to repay the kindness of King Riku.

However, if this were the case, maybe in the future, Vongola Family would go against the DonQuixote Family. After all, that nasty pirate would definitely not let go of the Dressrosa.

And if Kyros later became a member of the Vongola Family, then Giotto would definitely not give up on his family.

Therefore, when Doflamingo attacked Dresrosa, Vongola Family would definitely make a move. Still, there was one thing that Giotto doubted. He wondered if Doflamingo would still attack this country if there was Vongola Family's badge in the future.

When he walked out of the arena, Giotto saw King Riku, who had been waiting here and judging from his expression, it seemed that he already knew Giotto's identity.

It was a given. After all, as long as King Riku saw the news, he wouldn't miss a wanted poster with such a huge bounty on it.

"Vongola-dono, thank you for freeing Kyros. To be honest, I was really worried that he would keep himself imprisoned in a cage. It's all right now. It won't be long before he can see the outside world."

The moment he saw Giotto, the king expressed his gratitude. For so many years, he and Kyros were actually very good friends.

The story of the two men in the anime could be perfectly summed up in one sentence, "I treat you as a brother, and you actually want to be my son-in-law?"

"Aren't you afraid of me, King Riku-sama?" Giotto looked at the king in front of him strangely. Logically speaking, anyone facing a person with a bounty of 970,000,000 should be somewhat afraid.

But he did not feel such emotion from the king, as if the king regarded him as a harmless person.

"Hahaha, I am not an ignorant king. Although the Marine issued a bounty on Vongola Family, you guys are completely different from those evil pirates. I have a certain degree of understanding of Secon Island's situation. The people there are living in peace, and all the pirates who threaten the peace there will die at the hands of the Vongola Family. For the people of Secon Island, your Family is like a guardian!"

The king laughed. When he first discovered Giotto's identity, he was indeed very shocked. However, after thinking about it carefully, he just shrugged it off. "To be honest, even I am quite envious that Secon Island's people have you to protect them. After all, the sea is very chaotic now. Even Dressrosa has encountered several blatant attacks."

"If you want to, I don't mind lending you Vongola's emblem." Giotto said with a smile.

"I'll pass on your kind offer. After all, Dressrosa is affiliated with World Government. It's a little questionable if I openly ask for your help."

Dressrosa was one of a few rare countries that were affiliated with the World Government in the New World, why is it rare?

Because the New World was a paradise for pirates. The truly powerful ones here are pirates, not the Marine that served under the world government. Therefore, even if pirates came there and wreaked havoc, it was difficult for the Marine to aid this country. Even if they did, it would be very risky.

If the Marine dispatched insufficient combat power, there was a high chance that they couldn't deal with the pirates of the New World. But if they send too much combat power, it would alarm Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, or other powerhouses, and if these powerhouses decided to attack Marine while they were short on combatants, what would happen?

Especially at this critical juncture, the conflicts among the pirates in the New World were extremely frequent. No one could guarantee that the Marine would take this opportunity to intervene.

So many countries in the New World knew that it was better to seek the protection of a big pirate than to seek the help of the World Government.

"I plan to stay in Dressrosa for a few days. Is that alright?"

Giotto did not forget to make time to relax. Although he had done everything, he would not immediately go back just to face a bunch of paperwork. Although the current Dressrosa was not like a toy capital in the future, it had its own charm.

"Of course, that won't be a problem. If there is anything you need, you can tell me at any time. After all..."

"Boom!"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of an explosion entered his ears. Obviously, it was pirates looking for trouble again, but it was not a powerful guy. Dressrosa's army should be able to deal with them, but there would be some casualties.

Suddenly, Giotto's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at King Riku. "Your majesty, can you prepare some accommodations during my stay here in exchange for my help? "

"That is definitely no problem, but..."

"It's settled then, leave those pirates to me!".
