Chapter 477 - Chapter 58: Strange Things

After there were no more pursuers, the three successfully obtained the Discs and reunited with the rest of the Bucciarati Squad.

Riding on the speedboat Narancia had procured, Bucciarati used a computer inside the turtle to read the data stored in the Disc, relaying the final orders to everyone.

True to his reputation as the 'Scum Boss,' Diavolo was extremely timid.

The final orders were full of restrictions for the squad, not only time limits but also for every action; any deviation from the commands would immediately be considered an act of betrayal.

Their next order was to go to San Giorgio Maggiore Island, but no one else was allowed to land, only one bodyguard and Trish.

Furthermore, after acquiring the Disc, they had to reach the island within fifteen minutes, and the person landing was not allowed to carry any communication devices or weapons.

It could be said that he was extremely cautious, not only preventing any thought of informing others for a siege after discovering the boss's location but also eliminating the possibility of being ambushed during a meeting.

After the boat docked, a few of them relaxed slightly.

However, Bucciarati very seriously told the others to remain vigilant.

Giorno also proposed the idea of taking Trish to meet the boss, but he was stopped by Abbachio.

"Abbachio is right, I'll go instead."

It would be very suspicious for Bucciarati, as a cadre, not to go himself but instead send a newcomer.

Bucciarati naturally knew this, and he was not afraid to put himself in danger, proactively wanting to scout for information about the boss.

However...

"By the way, Giorno, to ensure the final mission goes smoothly, can you give me that amulet?"

Bucciarati pointed to the ladybug ornament on Giorno's clothes: "The ladybug is a sun insect, a symbol of life, and your amulet, right?"

Giorno immediately understood Bucciarati's hint and took off the ladybug ornament from his clothes: "Yes, that's right, the ladybug is also a symbol of luck."

The two of them were putting on a show not only for those present but also for the boss, who might be secretly observing them.

After Bucciarati put the ladybug ornament on himself, Takatsuki also called out to him.

"Catch this, Bucciarati."

A bottle of blue liquid was thrown to Bucciarati.

"What is this?"

Bucciarati naturally knew what was in his hand; he had seen Takatsuki create it with his so-called special ability. A large number of them had been discarded or given away, with only a few items kept inside the turtle, but they didn't know what they were for. Takatsuki hadn't explained the effect of this item at the time.

"You can drink it now, or you can drink it when you need luck. This is a potion that brings good fortune."

Takatsuki said this, but Bucciarati didn't hesitate. He directly uncorked the bottle and drank the potion in one gulp.

"It's already the end of the mission, so of course I'll drink it now. It tastes pretty good."

Casually tossing the empty bottle aside, Bucciarati took Trish into the church.

Takatsuki already knew what would happen next.

Even with Takatsuki's warning, Bucciarati was unstoppable; he wouldn't directly betray or attempt to kill the boss before fully confirming the boss's situation.

And in front of King Crimson's ability, Bucciarati's Sticky Fingers was no match for him.

Even if Takatsuki had told Bucciarati the truth about King Crimson's ability beforehand, Bucciarati would still not be Diavolo's opponent.

Although timid and despicable, it was undeniable that Diavolo was an extremely powerful Stand user.

While the others were fooling around, Giorno was intently staring at the laptop in his hands.

Because the ladybug he gave Bucciarati had been processed with his ability, giving it a positioning function. As long as Bucciarati placed the ladybug on the boss, he could track the boss's location in real-time.

Takatsuki didn't need to go through such trouble; he was waiting.

Waiting for Diavolo to activate his ability.

"Giorno..."

Takatsuki suddenly remembered something and called out to Giorno: "Give me the turtle for a moment."

After Bucciarati and Giorno left, there was no one else inside the turtle.

"Hmm? Is something wrong?"

Although he asked, Giorno still handed over the turtle.

Takatsuki nodded, entered the turtle through the key on its back, and when he came out again, he returned the turtle to Giorno.

"I left some things for you guys inside the turtle. Also, if I suddenly disappear, just do as you think best, and tell Bucciarati not to wait for me."

Giorno had just taken the turtle when he heard these words.

"Eh? What do you..."

Giorno was about to ask for clarification when he saw Takatsuki disappear.

He stood up with a start, and the turtle he had in his hands fell onto the boat deck with a thud.

"Ah! Giorno, be careful! What if you break the turtle?"

Narancia heard the sound and picked up the turtle, which had retracted into its shell.

But he seemed to have discovered something: "Hmm?"

Narancia turned his head and looked around, drawing the attention of others who looked at him: "What's wrong, Narancia?"

"That..."

Narancia looked around strangely: "Did you guys see where Fugo went?"

"What!"

"Fugo's gone!?"

Abbachio also stood up suddenly and looked around: "When did that happen? I didn't see anything, he didn't go ashore, and I didn't hear any splashing."

As the others looked around, Giorno suddenly thought of something and looked at the laptop he had just put down.

"The location has changed!"

Giorno saw that the boss's location on the computer had moved from the first floor to the ossuary in the basement, and he instinctively started walking towards the shore.

"What location has changed? Giorno, stop looking at your computer! Quickly find Fugo! And don't go ashore! Have you forgotten the boss's orders?"

Abbachio watched Giorno, who seemed completely spaced out, walk from the other end of the boat towards him.

"Sigh..."

But in the next instant, both he and Giorno froze.

They had unknowingly stepped onto land, as if teleported. Abbachio had already grabbed Giorno's shoulder.

"Wait, could it be, no!"

Giorno instantly thought of many things. Although he wanted to confirm, he immediately made a choice according to his own thoughts, pulled out his phone, and dialed Bucciarati's number.

Although they were told not to bring communication devices to the island, Bucciarati had hidden his phone inside his body using Sticky Fingers, so even the boss wouldn't discover it.

"It's bad! Bucciarati! Something strange has happened!"
