Outside the old warehouse, tension hung heavy. Under the bright moonlit sky, between the sound of crashing waves and breath of gentle night breeze, a swarm of police officers stood in formation. Firearms firm on their hands. Eyes vigilant on the entrance. Ready for the next command from the two leading inspectors.

"Are you sure it's them? It's Tokyo Manji Kai we're talking about," the woman inspector in glasses turned to her colleague. Her expression was a mix of determination and anxiety.

"It was the only lead we have on them. If – and a big if – we managed to apprehend them, it might open a way for us to get to the other leaders."

The leader of the raid was Inspector Kabakura Tarou, a hardworking Senior Inspector of Organized Crime Department with high principle of justice, who had been looking for ways to crackdown the infamous Tokyo Manji Kai. He had been following Toman's movement for almost two years and even managed to detain several of their higher-ups, including Baji Keisuke, Shiba Hakkai, and Hanma Shuji on counts of illegal gambling, eliciting prostitution, and murder. But every time, all he was able to imprison was small fries – foot soldiers that was served as sacrificial pawn. While the leaders ran free of any criminal charges.

And now, after all the efforts that ended in disappointments, Goddess of Fortune finally favored him.

An anonymous tip came to his phone, informing that 'Kisaki Tetta, Hanma Shuji, and Shiba Yuzuha will receive a drug shipment in an old warehouse 2 hours from now,' along with a map and a phone recording of the instruction given to Black Dragon members by a female voice, whom he assumed was Shiba Yuzuha's. Within the minutes of legitimizing that the tip was solid, he secured the authorization for a raid, including permission to carry firearms to the scene.

Now, the moment had come.
The moment where he might apprehend the higher-ups of one of the biggest gang in Kanto area.

"Koyanagi, repeat the instruction again." His tone wary. "If they made no movement after the announcement, prepare to breach!"

Koyanagi, the woman inspector, clenched her jaw as she drew the loudspeaker to her lips.

"TOKYO MANJI KAI! SURRENDER YOURSELF WITH HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD! IF YOU DON'T –"

The creak of the warehouse gate put a stop to her words and alarmed all uniformed officers in the premise. Cocking of New Nambu Model 60 – their standard-issued firearm – were in choir amidst the sudden heightened tension. Their sights anticipated the enemy's movement, only to be met with a sly grin of a man in grey pinstripe suit.

"Well well well, good evening dear ladies and gentlemen from Tokyo Headquarter~!" Hanma emerged with a smile plastered on his face. "What seems to be the problem~?"

"Hanma Shuji! Put your hands above your heads!" Kabakura roared as he aimed his gun at his target. "You are under arrest for drug dealing and drug distribution!"

"Whoa, quite an accusation you got there, Mr. Inspector~," Hanma kept his carefree attitude as other meeting attendees, including Yuzuha, Scarface, and Eyebrow exited the warehouse with hands gesturing their surrender.

"CUFF THEM!"

In an instant, the police officers moved swiftly, rounding out all the meeting attendees and restraining them in handcuffs. The orange-haired Beta Inspector wasted no time to bring his target down to his knees, twisted his arms and cuffed Sin and Punishment behind the Alpha's back.

"Mmh!" Hanma groaned. "You like it rough, don'tcha Inspector? I don't mind rough as long as I still get to top you~"

Kabakura squinted his eyes in disgust. "You're a freak, you know that?!"
