But, Italy, huh...? I went there few years ago. Because of that dude called Diavolo, there's a boom of devil worshippers there. I was kinda curious about that, so I went there to investigate.

A devil! How intriguing! Does he have wings and horns? Was he strong?

Nah, I didn't fight him. His elite guards kept obstructing me, so I couldn't get near him at all.

Actually

I wanted to ask an acquaintance, a high school boy named Hirose Koichi to look for HARUNO, but...

A high school boy? Hey, you can't just involve a minor who's not related to this case at all, you hear?

Well, I didn't ask him.

His elite guards (?) kept obstructing me, and I couldn't get near him at all.

Polnareff in the turtle

And then, Polnareff found someone who might be HARUNO,

and started looking for an opportunity to come into contact with him.
