Chapter 111: Three Seconds

They say '111' is an angel number that indicates new beginnings or transformation. What could this mean?

TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter contains explicit language, acts of violence, use of harmful weapons, and mentions about bombs. A viewer discretion is advised.

"Need a hand?" Sanzu looks up as he took his seat and sees...a sweaty Kakucho.

"I didn't need help." The prideful second says as soon as he is stood. The black haired only scoffed in response.

"You're welcome, asshole." Kakucho says before handing him a katana.

"I went shopping and took something you might like." He added and unloaded the motorcycle.

"I'm touched, Kakucho. I'll give you a pat later."

Now, Bonten and Paradiso's Seconds and Thirds reunites for a rematch.

Who will the goddess of war smile upon?

"Let's see if you can keep up, Paradiso!" Sanzu yelled and ran towards Orgullo's direction, while Kakucho...

"Miss me, Ranura?" The black haired says while shooting at Ranura's direction. Paradiso of course, won't let Bonten hog all the glory. The red-haired Ranura tried to find the timing where Kakucho runs out of bullets to strike.

Just as he wanted, after several shots, Kakucho paused. But the enemy thought he would be reloading his weapon. When he peeked out to try to shoot Bonten's third, Kakucho was quick to shoot him in the shoulder.

"I'm not losing to you this time." The third says before reloading his gun and points it to Ranura who is bleeding on the shoulder on the concrete. He sees the droopy-eyed reaching for his gun, but he was quick to step on Ranura's hand before he could do so. He then kicked the gun away so the enemy won't try to shoot again.

"Give up, Paradiso. Your leader is dead. The two of you are the only ones tenacious enough to fight." Kakucho taunted the injured man. He didn't expect for the red-haired to start chuckling even in his disadvantage.

"What's so funny?" He asks. But instead of answering, his enemy twirled his legs around Kakucho's to outbalance him. When his enemy is down, Ranura pulled his enemy's pistol away and threw it elsewhere.

"Let's do this the usual, Kakucho. I prefer us using our fists just like before!" Ranura yelled before twisting the black-haired's hand that made him groan in pain.

"You're a serious creep, dude!" The black haired used then his feet to kick the man in the chin to break free. Then, he pulled away his hands, pulling the man up in the process. Upon standing up, he did a side kick to Paradiso's man which was blocked using his forearms, but was strong enough to outbalance the man. He didn't hesitate to follow through a cycle front and a tornado kick consecutively which was received by Ranura neatly.

"This is what I love about you, Kakucho. You know how to amuse me!" was what the red-haired yelled before doing a switch turn kick on Kakucho that hit his leg and side. He also blocked them with his forearm. He then watched his opponent switch to jab that he threw to him consecutively.
