**Ribollita Scarlatto** is a major antagonist featured in *Golden Ocean*.

Ribollita Scarlatto is the leader of Hitman Team and sends his squad-mates to battle Team Galliard; all in order to kidnap the Boss' daughter Vittoria Diletta, as part of their plans to discover her father's true identity. After all of his squad-mates fall in the course of their mission, Ribollita pursues Team Galliard himself to the island of Sardinia. However, there he becomes wound up in a confrontation with Virgilio Servi on a beach in Costa Smeralda.

Ribollita is a Vision User and uses the dangerous magnetic abilities of Iron Manipulation present within his own blood to manipulate the metals in his surroundings.

## Appearance

Ribollita Scarlatto is a 28-year-old tall man of muscular build.

He wears a black, hood-like headpiece from which hang several small, metallic baubles, bearing letters that make up his name. This piece hides his hair; though his light bangs (originally dark) almost reach his eyebrows. Light-eyed, his sclera are completely black.

Bare-chested, he wears a long, black, lapelless coat with straps crossing his chest in an X; and pants in thick horizontal stripes of black and white.

When first revealed in a photo, Ribollita did not have his hood (or it did not frame his face closely enough) and wore dark lipstick.

## Personality

Ribollita is a serious individual, as befitting of the leader of Hitman Team. Always focused on his goal and carefully approaching Virgilio whom he suspected to be Ikaris's underling, Ribollita is methodical in his assassination method, making decisive actions and calmly analyzing Virgilio's moves before acting. His ability to predict his opponent's moves is formidable, and has allowed him to almost kill Virgilio were he not outsmarted by the Boss.

Behind his cold and calm approach to things, Ribollita is prone to outbursts of violence, threatening Virgilio when he takes too long to obey his command. When suffering setbacks, Ribollita keeps his cool and decides the best course of action.

## Abilities

**Tactical Intelligence**: Ribollita is a gifted tactician, showing a grasp of Vision fights rarely witnessed in the series. Ribollita could find multiple applications for his Iron Manipulation ability, as well as deduce critical facts from observations such as Vergilio's status as a Vision user. In a fight, Ribollita keeps tabs on the enemy's abilities and moves, deducing their next moves with precision and making them work against them. His methodical approach of assassinations and the tendency to quickly kill his targets before they could act nearly killed Vergilio multiple times despite his ability to predict the future.

**Electrokinesis**: As a Electro Vision user. Ribollita can that mimics lightning, specifically swift strikes and movements akin to lightning ripping through the sky, and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms involve utilizing blinding speeds and immensely fast attacks to overwhelm the enemy in an instant.

* **Iron Manipulation**: Ribollita Elemental Ability can freely manipulate iron in the air and ground using magnetism. This ability is active within a 5 to 10 meter radius around Ribollita, and has enough precision to form objects by gathering the iron inside another person's body. By default, he naturally attracts iron. Iron is one of the most common elements on earth, found in sand, mineral water, and plants; great quantities of it can be found in plants like spinach, meaning Ribollita has access to a near infinite number of weapons no matter where in the world he goes.
