Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

"I heard that the Shadow River Gang had also had designs on them before?"

"Heh, I heard that the two sides almost fell out that time, but unfortunately the leader of the Shadow River Gang got into trouble with some ruthless person and was taken down. The entire gang fell apart, and the matter was naturally dropped."

"That's why we and the Three Flowers Society had the opportunity to devour their original territory."

"Hopefully these kids will know their place, no..."

The conversation abruptly stopped, and the burly men suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why does the once noisy environment suddenly seem so quiet now?

I stared intently at it.

People all around craned their necks, their heads turned toward the sides of the street, as if watching something exciting, but they were all silent as if afraid of being noticed.

Chapter 237, 236: One-hit kill!

Or rather, it should be said that...

They should be afraid of getting caught in the crossfire and suffering the consequences.

The group was all too familiar with the reactions of these passersby.

Because when their gang goes out on missions, those who see them but are not involved in the operation also behave in the same way.

An ominous premonition suddenly arose.

The group craned their necks as well, and the pedestrians on both sides of the road spontaneously parted to form a wide passage running from front to back. Under the lights, a dark mass of people emerged from both ends.

The red "Invincible" lettering on the back of Sano's special attack uniform contrasts sharply with the pure white "Justice" lettering on the backs of the black-clad Grim Reaper members next to him.

...Initially, the members of the Black Reaper all wore the same uniforms in order to imitate Sano, and the words on their special attack uniforms were naturally the same.

I just don't know when it started, but these guys changed their clothes again.

Everything else was unchanged, only the two characters on the back were changed.

According to the blond delinquent who could be considered the second-in-command of the Black Reaper, this was to highlight the organization's main purpose and to differentiate it from Sano, the leader, so as to make it easier to identify who the real leader was.

Of course, this was just a trivial matter, and Sano didn't have any particular opinion about it.

...If I had to put it into words, Sano always felt like he was a naval admiral.

"Oh no, it's those brats from the Black Reaper!"

One of the quick-thinking and composed individuals immediately shouted, "Call for help! Call for help!!"

Amidst the frantic shouts, Sano seemed to hear the background music again.

"I'll roam freely, dominating the world!"

No, we already used "Hero of Chaos" last time, so let's use "Invincible" this time.

"Which one is called justice, and which one is invincible?"

"Right and wrong, justice and injustice, are hard to define."

"..."

The blond delinquent who had been following Sano aggressively raised an eyebrow and looked at Sano, who, despite his cold eyes and swaggering gait, was making muffled noises in his throat. A thoughtful look gradually appeared in his eyes.

At opposite ends of the road, the Black Reaper members, who had been divided into two groups, finally met at the entrance of the nightclub.

Standing at the very front was none other than Sano, who had switched to the Black Death disguise.

At the entrance and in the lobby of the nightclub, a hundred or so members of a yakuza organization had gathered temporarily, glaring menacingly at Sano and his group outside.

What does this mean?

A man carrying a baseball bat walked out and, almost without being asked, fixed his gaze on Sano: "Do you know what you're doing?"

"I'd like to ask you, do you even know what you're doing?"

Sano also came out alone, standing no more than two meters away from the other person.

"Kid, while things haven't gotten out of hand yet, you still have a chance to go home safely."

The man glanced at the passersby around him and whispered to Sano, but the murderous intent in his eyes was not small.

"You're threatening me."

Sano calmly met the other person's gaze.

Sano had already obtained a brief intelligence report from Gin regarding the yakuza organization he was currently facing.

This organization's influence is similar to that of the Sankakai, ranking among the top three in Tokyo.

...Although there are quite a few yakuza organizations of all sizes in Tokyo, only the Kagee Gang, the Sankakai, and this organization can truly be considered large-scale.

However, unlike the other two organizations, the organization in front of Sano was known for its powerful fists.

It's not that this organization is more capable than the other two.

Rather, it's because this organization was only founded three years ago, and its rise has been exceptionally rapid. It has a lot of troublemakers and can be said to have emerged through sheer force of wills.

Therefore, the president of this organization is not like the presidents of other organizations, who are old men sitting behind the scenes, using various resources to make cunning calculations... or simply handing everything over to their subordinates and indulging in pleasure all day long.

Tsk, now that you mention it, I'm suddenly so envious.

Anyway, the president of this organization is the man standing right in front of Sano right now, who is said to be one of the top fighters in the entire yakuza world.

...Considering various factors, this guy might be even more formidable than the "god of death" that Sano had previously encountered at Beika General Hospital, which was released by Shirai Mitsuo.

But that's how it is.

In terms of the difficulty of today's battle alone, it is not even as difficult as the previous battle against the Black Dragon Society.

Because the Black Dragon Society's sphere of influence was small, its headquarters housed almost all of its members.

In contrast, the organization in front of them has a large sphere of influence and its members are scattered. In addition, due to its size, it is not easy for any force to challenge it, which leads to a lower level of vigilance. Therefore, when Sano launches a sudden attack, the number of members that can be gathered is naturally not many.

Faced with Sano's attitude, a vein bulged on the other man's forehead: "Damn it, you don't know what's good for you, do you?!"

The man swung the baseball bat violently.

After all, they're all troublemakers; a few words of nonsense are already more than enough.

Using fists to speak is an instinct ingrained in our bones.

Therefore, this blow, while seemingly abrupt, was also entirely within Sano's expectations.

Time seemed to slow down countless times. Sano pulled back with his right foot and right fist at the same time, pulling on invisible iron chains that jingled and tightened, making his fist and foot heavy.

Feeling restricted and constrained?

This feeling should be thrown away!

"Ding!"

Sano seemed to hear the sound of chains snapping; it wasn't loud, but it was very clear.

Then, as Sano took a step forward and extended his fist, more chains tightened instantly.

Everything shattered into pieces!

"boom!!"

The loud, muffled thud sounded like something heavy had fallen.

As if suddenly plunged into a black and white world, Sano, whose eyes were no longer visible, punched his opponent in the temple. At the same moment, the baseball bat in his opponent's hand also landed on his forehead with a "bang".

In an instant, the man's eyes became bloodshot, and his head plummeted from 1.8 meters above his neck to negative height, making intimate contact with the ground.

The floor tiles were so happy that they even cracked.

The sudden outburst from Sano and his companion created a storm-like atmosphere that didn't even allow everyone to react before calming down again.

Faced with this scene, not only were others dumbfounded, but even Sano's henchmen were somewhat stunned.

One, a one-hit kill!?

Is this some kind of outrageous nonsense?!

They knew their boss was very capable, but they didn't realize he was capable to this extent.

That guy was a notorious ruthless figure in the yakuza world, and he was gone in one round, no, one move?

In the dead silence, Sano withdrew his fist, blood streaming down his forehead, down his temple, and down to his chin.

The blow that landed on Sano's head was certainly not light.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have already rolled their eyes and lost consciousness, and might even have needed to be rushed to the ICU for emergency treatment.

But Sano remained standing there straight, without even swaying, as if the blow was just like hitting a child.

...Of course, Sano's life wasn't as easy as it seemed on the surface.

After all, it was a real blow.

Even Sano experienced a brief moment of darkness before his eyes.

Not to mention the headache that made you want to grimace.

Sano only pretended not to move or show any expression in order to maintain his composure.

After taking a couple of seconds to recover, Sano didn't even glance at the unconscious man on the ground with his eyes rolled back. Instead, he raised his chin and looked down at the yakuza members behind the nightclub door, some of whom were shocked, others with blank expressions.

"I have only one purpose for coming here today."

"That means killing all of you here, or having all of you here killed by me."

"I'm not joking with you."

Sano raised his fist, pointed at the opposite side, his cold eyes radiating murderous intent: "I really will beat you all to death."

Chapter 238, Section 237: This move is called, "Void Blame-Shifting!"

The unexpected developments and Sano's ferocity and superior combat power caused his aura attribute to rise continuously, even making the aura attribute boost from the special attack uniform seem insignificant.

An intense sense of oppression pressed down on the yakuza members in the nightclub, like a mountain bearing down on them.

Without further ado, Sano charged straight toward the nightclub entrance.

This sounded like a battle horn, and the thousands of Black Death members behind Sano surged into the nightclub.
