Takemichi sitting amidst defeated Black Dragon members when Taiju Shiba, the former leader, arrived at the district. Shocked to see his gang members defeated by one man, Taiju questioned with widened eyes, "Who are you?"Takemichi, wiping blood from his mouth, responded, "So, you're Taiju Shiba. Never thought, after the death of Shinchiro, Black Dragon would be this weak. Anyway, I'm not here for a chat. I'm here to take control of Black Dragon."
Taiju, filled with anger, retorted, "Like hell a dweeb like you could fight me!"
Takemichi, calmly, stated, "Taiju, from now on, I will be your new leader. You have to work for me if you want, and it's your choice if you want to work for me, by the way."
Taiju, gritting his teeth, exclaimed, "Why you!"
Taiju rushed towards Takemichi, throwing a powerful punch that crashed him to the ground.
Takemichi, recovering, looked up at Taiju and said, "Man, that really hurt. You're something."
Taiju, surprised that Takemichi was still standing, thought, "What! How is he still standing? I used my full power on that punch."
Takemichi, unfazed, continued, "You know, if I don't fulfill my duty, my brother will be disappointed in me."
He swiftly retaliated with a reverse kick—a Brazilian kick—on Taiju's neck, stunning him momentarily. Takemichi then followed up with a quick series of punches and kicks, showcasing his skill in a fluid martial arts dance.
Taiju, disoriented, attempted to counter, but Takemichi's agility proved too much. Takemichi delivered a spinning back kick, sending Taiju sprawling to the ground.
In the midst of their heated confrontation, Takemichi and Taiju engaged in a gripping battle that resonated with the intensity of their rivalry. Taiju, fueled by a mix of anger and determination, launched a powerful roundhouse kick at Takemichi. However, Takemichi's nimble movements allowed him to evade the attack, responding with a precise jab to Taiju's stomach.
Undeterred, Taiju retaliated with a flurry of swift punches, showcasing his raw strength. Takemichi, displaying the finesse of a seasoned martial artist, adeptly blocked and weaved through the barrage. The tension in the alley was palpable as each strike reverberated through the air.
In a strategic move, Takemichi identified an opening and executed a Brazilian kick—a reverse kick—taking Taiju by surprise. The impact left Taiju momentarily stunned, providing Takemichi with an opportunity to close in and unleash a rapid combination of kicks and punches. The alley became a stage for their fierce dance of combat.
As the battle wore on, Taiju, driven by pride and desperation, unleashed a powerful spinning backfist. Anticipating the move, Takemichi deftly ducked and countered with a sweeping low kick that brought Taiju to his knees.
Breathing heavily, Taiju looked up at Takemichi, who stood with a calm yet determined expression. The physical and emotional toll of their clash was evident on both fighters. In a final exchange, Takemichi delivered a decisive blow—a spinning hook kick—that sent Taiju sprawling to the ground.
The alley fell silent as Takemichi emerged victorious. The spectators, including the defeated Black Dragon members, sensed a shift in leadership. Takemichi, now the undisputed leader, extended a hand to Taiju, symbolizing acceptance within Black Dragon.
Takemichi - from now on , you are my paw , said with a smile
Days later, Takemichi trained Black Dragon rigorously, pushing them to become stronger. Three months passed, and he saw his gang fully charged and ready.
Takemichi, exhausted but proud, said, "Yeah! I mean, we did it. Training a whole gang is seriously like hell. Please always do your routine regularly, which I told you, okay?"
Taiju assured, "Don't worry, sir. If you're not here, I will take responsibility for training."
Takemichi expressed, "I know I can count on you guys. Black Dragon has become a family to me now. We never betray each other."
Inupi asked about their next move, and Takemichi, contemplating, suggested taking a break.
Kokonoi, surprised, thought, "Break? Seriously?"
Later, Inupi and Takemichi went to a store, where Takemichi ate a lot and eventually fell asleep on his seat. Inupi, frustrated, had to carry him on his back.
Suddenly, Inupi witnessed a fierce brawl erupting between Toman and Valhalla, involving Mitsuya, Draken, and Emma.
Inupi - "What should I do now, Takemichi?" *whispering*
Takemichi - *sighs* "Oii, Takemichi!"
Inupi loosened his grip, allowing Takemichi to fall to the ground.
Takemichi - "Hah! What happened? Can't you see I'm sleepy, and now... *yawns*" *Takemichi starts to doze off on the ground*
Inupi - "Takemichi! There's a fight between Toman and Valhalla. Mikey sister is there too."
Takemichi - *jolts awake* "What! My sister... I mean, Mikey's sister. Why didn't you tell me earlier, you idiot?"
Inupi - "What? But I..."
Takemichi - "Shut up! Let me see." *Takemichi walks towards the commotion, peering through the bushes to witness the chaotic clash.*
Inupi - *thumps Takemichi on the head* "This guy! Seriously!"
Takemichi - "Oww! Why'd you do that?"
Inupi - what ?
Takemichi - "You'll get it later."
Takemichi observes the brawl, spotting Emma with tear-filled eyes.
The fight intensifies as Toman clashes with Valhalla. Peh, seeking revenge for Pah.
Mitsuya - "Why are you fighting us, Peh? Mikey and Draken are together now. We should respect Pah's decision."
Peh - "Shut up, Mitsuya, or I'll kill you too!" Peh brandishes a knife.
Emma, compelled to run away by Draken's words, had tears streaming down her eyes.
Mistuya is about to say something and a mysterious figure emerges as the leader of Valhalla.
Mysterious Figure - "Hehe, you can call me Hanma Shuji. I am the leader of Valhalla."
