The street, recently encased in ice, was now pitch black.
Rakugo, wielding the demonic sword Kigetsu, stood amidst the thick smoke, staring at the demon-like Kohei Ichiro across from him.
“Old man, this path is closed.”
Kohei Ichiro’s voice was indifferent, his four white bone whips behind him swaying gently. Any movement from Rakugo would trigger an attack.
“Then I apologize for the offense.”
Knowing their target was Miyano Akemi, Rakugo didn’t waste any time.
Squinting, he abruptly drew Kigetsu. The blood-red blade light condensed into a single line, its speed astonishing.
“This won’t work on me!”
Kohei Ichiro, instead of retreating, pressed forward, his body covered in a ghastly bone armor. The four white bone whips behind him pierced through the air, shooting out simultaneously.
Clang! Clang Clang—
Dozens of metallic clashing sounds echoed through the air, scattering some of the fog. Two figures could vaguely be seen within, exchanging blows at incredible speeds.
“Quickly! Don’t let them take Miyano Akemi away!!”
The police officers assigned to the area began exchanging fire with the members of the Black Organization.
These men were all gunners trained by the Black Organization. While not strong enough to become organization executives, they were no less skilled than the police officers in a shootout.
“Vodka, take Miyano Akemi away.”
Miyano Akemi had fallen unconscious after the explosion. Gin motioned for Vodka to take her.
He himself watched the battle between Kohei Ichiro and Rakugo, stretching his body. Suddenly, he accelerated and charged forward.
The air vibrated slightly. This was Gin utilizing the Moonwalk technique, stepping on air.
He then arrived at Rakugo’s blind spot while swinging his sword. His right leg, imbued with Armament Haki, came crashing down.
Boom!!
A large crater opened up in the ground, the unmelted ice along with the asphalt and cement were blown up together.
Rakugo dodged to the side, his eyes fixed on Gin and Kohei Ichiro, adjusting his breathing.
“Rakugo-san, I’m here to help.”
Just then, another helicopter flew in from the sky.
Satou Miwako jumped down from it, her pupils transforming into vertical fox eyes, a blood-red tailed beast cloak emerging from her body.
“Which one do you choose?”
Gin spoke calmly.
“The one with the sword.”
Kohei Ichiro slightly lowered his body, charging towards Rakugo again. The four bone whips behind him swirled wildly in the air, ready to devour their prey at any moment.
Seeing this, Rakugo’s expression turned serious. He took a step forward and slashed at Kohei Ichiro’s head, attacking the enemy’s weakest point.
Clang!!
Soon, the two were locked in combat once more.
The blood-red sword energy left deep, bone-visible wounds on Kohei Ichiro.
However, relying on his immortality, he completely disregarded these injuries and continued to attack Rakugo ferociously, forcing the latter to retreat.
Seeing this, Satou Miwako, her red fox tail swaying behind her, suddenly lunged at Gin, her claws slashing through the air, emitting a sharp roar.
“Killing Stone?”
Gin sneered coldly, his right foot rapidly stomping on the ground, his figure vanishing instantly.
The next moment.
When he reappeared, he was behind Satou Miwako.
His left leg, wrapped in Armament Haki, slammed down like a heavy axe.
Boom!!
Another large crater opened up in the ground, cracks spreading outward like a spiderweb.
Satou Miwako lay in the crater, her face tense as she climbed up, her wounds quickly healing under the stimulation of the Nine-Tailed Chakra.
“I will capture you.”
She growled at Gin, the tails behind her transforming into three, her speed suddenly accelerating.
Soon, she seized an opportunity, her sharp energy claws tearing at Gin. However, it was as if she was grabbing steel, sparks erupting.
Gin grabbed her arm, flinging Satou Miwako into the air. The next moment, he stepped on the air, his body spinning rapidly. Armament Haki condensed on his legs, forming a black vortex.
Satou Miwako was struck in the abdomen, her body dragging a long trench on the ground.
Finally, she flipped over several cars, smashing heavily against a wall.
“Cough, cough…”
She gasped for breath, trying to get up, but her body was in too much pain to move.
“Looks like the power of the Killing Stone is nothing special.”
Gin drew his gun, aiming it at her head.
Bang!!
Just as the bullet struck Satou Miwako, the tailed beast cloak on her body suddenly turned black-red, and the tails behind her became six.
“Roar!”
In a state of lost consciousness, Satou Miwako slammed Gin away, her mouth opening, and a terrifying energy wave-emitting tailed beast ball began to form inside.
“That aura…”
Rakugo and Kohei Ichiro on the other side were also startled, turning their heads to look.
And at that moment, the black energy ball, compressed to its limit, was ejected from Satou Miwako’s mouth.
Boom!!
A mushroom cloud rose from the spot, chaotic energy expanding in a fan shape, directly leveling the nearby block.
Within a radius of several thousand meters, the ground sank downward, creating a massive impact crater.
All buildings along the way were reduced to rubble.
Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ
Silence descended.
Kohei Ichiro drew back.
“Cough, cough…” Gin crawled out from the rubble on the side, a rare look of pain on his face.
He had sensed something amiss and dodged to the side.
But even so, getting grazed by the energy shockwave, he felt as if he was about to die.
Armament Haki plus Iron Body, double defense, was useless.
“Hoh!! ”
After one tailed beast bomb, Satou Miwako was already brewing a new attack.
Seeing this, Kohei Ichiro’s expression changed slightly. He hurriedly helped Gin up and quickly retreated.
As for Rakugo, he was no longer in a position to stop them.
Looking at Satou Miwako, who was clearly out of her mind, the old man shook his head with a wry smile. However, he still stood in front of the police officers, allowing them to leave first.
As for himself, he clenched the demonic sword Kigetsu in his hand.
