Revy and Leon are at the Lagoon Company office, with Revy is using his legs as a pillow, relaxing until the phone started ringing and Dutch walks over to the phone and answers it.
"Hello, Lagoon Company. Oh, hi, Mr. Boris. What? Okay, so the meeting is cancelled...oh alright then."
Dutch hang up the phone.
"What's up, Rock?"
Revy asked.
"Looks like the meeting's been cancelled."
Dutch answered.
"He didn't say why, but I guess something must've come up."
Revy and Dutch then have a thought why Hotel Moscow had to cancel the meeting.
"Dutch...you think it's that?"
"Probably."
Dutch answered.
"And I'm pretty sure that won't end well."
"What are you talking about?"
Questioned Leon.
"What the fuck...you seriously haven't heard anything about this?!"
Asked Revy.
"No, I-"
"There's been a bunch of murders."
"Not to sound callous, but homicides aren't unusual in this city."
"Yeah, I know murder isn't exactly front page news. But when they're targeting Hotel Moscow, that's a different story."
With that said, it surprised Benny.
"They found five corpses, all with ties to the Russians, and that's just in the last month."
Revy said as she read her magazine while laying down on the couch.
"Revy, that information is out of date. There's six now."
Dutch added.
"In any case, it means some asshole's tryin' to pour gas on an open flame. And you can be sure that in this city where the balance of power walks a tightrope on its fuckin' hands, we'll all be knee-deep in blood before this ends."
-Secret location-
The four Syndicate branches of Roanapur were having a secret emergency meeting. Balalaika of Hotel Moscow standing behind her were Boris and another member, Mr. Chang of the Hong Kong Triad with two of his men, Abrego of the Colombian Manisarera Cartel with two of his men and Verrocchio of the Italian Cosa Nostra Mob with two of his men.
"Another one's been killed. An accountant this time."
Said Balalaika.
"Are we in Beirut? Mogadishu, perhaps?"
"That's enough already."
Said Mr. Chang.
"Do I need you to remind you why we decided to meet here today? This is an era of coexistence. And I'd like to preserve this equilibrium we've managed to reach through all the bloodshed and bullets. Miss Balalaika."
"Is that so, Mr. Chang? Maybe you can refresh my memory. When did I say I wanted coexistence?"
"Again, with that mouth of your, huh?"
Said Verrocchio.
"A fuckin' peasant Ivan bitch who thinks her shit don't stink. Priceless. Go back to digging your potatoes."
Borris glared at Verrocchio of the direct insult towards Russians.
"Well, I guess we can't all be Italian, right?"
Said Balalaika.
"Which reminds me, I heard that Guido guys tend to smell like a pig's. Is that true?"
"Fuckin' bitch."
"Okay, I think that's enough!"
Said Mr. Chang.
"Or have you forgotten why we're all here? All of us hold grudges against each other over one thing or another, right? However, it's also in all of our own best interest to cooperate at this time."
"If you've got business to discuss, then I'm all ears. But you can feed your personal honor to the dogs. That's just something you accept in our line of work."
"Miss Balalaika. This may be news to you, but some of my men were hit as well. A member of the 14K and a directly affiliated executive. In the whorehouse on Rachiada Street. They were killed the same way yours were."
"What's going on, Chang?"
Balalaika loudly questioned.
"Someone here's trying to shift the balance of power!"
Balalaika turned to the Colombia Cartel Leader Abrego and started to question him.
"Abrego! Look at me!"
"H-Hey, what the fuck?! I have nothing' to do with this shit!"
Abrego defended himself.
"You and me, we had some issues between us in the past, but I thought we worked all that out!"
"Okay, fine then. So, do us all the favor and ask Verrocchio who did this."
"That's bullshit, you know it, Fry Face."
Verrocchio defended.
"It so happens we lost one of our recruiters as well."
"So, what does that make, nine bodies?"
"Listen. No one from this city would pull somethin' like this. It's probably some drifter; someone who doesn't know how things work around here."
"All right, if we're gonna agree that these killings are the work of some outsider, we can start working together to hunt down whoever's responsible. Also we'll make a declaration. We don't need our people killing each other out there. Any objections?"
"I don't like this. It's a goddamned farce."
Balalaika quickly to object.
"Balalaika, I wouldn't be so hasty if I were you. I doubt it's in your best interest to rip this entire city apart."
"Is this a social gathering, Mr. Chang?"
Boris put Balalaika's military jacket on her as she and her men began to leave.
"Are we going to play a hand of gin rummy next? Let me be absolutely clear about this. The reason we came here today was to make our position known. Hotel Moscow will not tolerate people who obstruct our operations."
"Whoever dares to try, will be destroyed, denounced, then we'll kill his family, his friends. Even the pet dog, if we feel it's necessary."
"That went well."
Mr. Chang muttered sarcastically.
-Yellow Flag-
At the Yellow Flag Bar, Revy, Leon, Tsunade, Kushina, Karin and Kabuto are at the bar counter. Leon noticed that everyone in the bar were fully loaded packing heat, they even had their guns out.
Whistle!
"Everyone in here is carrying a gun of some kind."
Commented Leon.
"It's like we're in a parallel universe where everyone's Clint Eastwood."
"Why wouldn't they be? Right now, there's a fuckin' headcase out there who thinks he's some kind of punisher."
"Punisher? One who gives punishment. But punishment for what, exactly?"
"Who knows. These days, Roanapur is like popcorn. It's just simmering on heat right now, ready to pop at any minute."
"Have you heard, Revy? Apparently, there's a bounty."
Said Mao.
"How much?"
Questioned Revy in interest.
"100 grand. And that's not Thai Baht, either. It's in US Dollars."
"Fuck. They're really serious about this, huh? What're we waiting for?"
"Well, do you have any leads?"
"No but if it's an outsider, it shouldn't be that hard to find."
"It's true. An outsider would be easy to spot. The city's not that big, after all. At least that was the case with the Lovelace maid."
"But no one seems to have a clue where this outsider is, which means someone's providing a hideout. We just don't know who it is yet. And that's what's got everyone on edge."
"Well, I really don't give a rat's ass what happens as long as my place don't get shot up again."
Said Mao, while he was cleaning an empty mug.
"You worry too much, Mao. You know, this is a neutral district. No one's gonna start anything here."
"Why are we are we drinking in here, Leon?"
Whined Tsunade.
"The Continental you showed us was so much better!"
"Untie, please don't be disrespectful to Leon sama."
Kushina tried to reprimand her.
"I don't mine the place, though Karin can't handle her drinks!
Kabuto Yakushi said pointing at the 16-year-old Karin Uzumaki. Who was out cold by one drink.
"Hmmm..."
"Of course, the spy likes the place with shifty people."
Tsunade sarcastically remarked.
"Uh, lady Tsunade, I work for Leon sama now. Just like me!"
Kabuto answered raising his glass.
"Hm. I still don't trust you."
"Lady Tsunade, I won't hurt anyone related to Leon sama."
"Wait, ya' related to this asshole?"
Revy said.
"Oh, you didn't know? Lady Tsunade, miss Kushina Uzumaki and miss Karin Uzumaki are all cousins of Leon sama.
Kabuto explained to Revy.
"Oh, that's good hear. I don't need more completion for this guy's dick."
"I'm... sorry to tell you miss Revy, but its traditional in their family to marry their cousins and have many concubines."
"Pfft. What! You're tellin' me you guys' Fuck each other like hillbillies."
"It's not strange for some families to marry their cousins Revy."
"Ok, I'll take your wor-. Wait a second! Ya' already fucked them didn't ya'!"
"Pfft. I never slept with the kid!"
Tsunade shouted denying the idea of her sleeping with Leon. She then turned to check Kushina seeing as red as a tomato.
"Kushinaaaaa..., you've already...hip... did it with Leon sama to messshy times. I only... hip... did onsssh... I want... hip... another turn!"
Karin spoke in her drunken state.
"Kushina! Why did you sleep with this scoundrel?"
"C'mon, auntie! A woman has needs! Plus, we three have the Uzumaki red hair."
"Wait, you're tellin' me this asshat was a Ginger the whole time! Here I thought ya' were a dumb blond."
"What's a Ginger?"
asked Kushina with a curious face.
"It's this word slang for red head, similar how they call us red chili peppers."
"Huh. Can I kill her Leon sama?"
"What was that bitch! Let's go outside and I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Can we, Leon sama."
"Just make it quick."
Revy and Kushina left the bar and came back two minutes later with Revy nearly beaten to death, as Kushina was dragging her back into the bar.
"Holy, crap! Can't believe the little lady beat Revy black and blue."
Said Mao.
"Tsunade, please heal Revy."
"Well, you at least asked this time kid."
A few minutes later Revy's swelling went down.
"She got me with a lucky shot!"
"Sure, she did. That's why Kushina has no wounds while you looked like ground beef."
Leon told Revy in a sarcastic tone.
-Half an hour later-
As they were having drinks, they didn't' notice the double-doors opened, revealing to be Eda, wearing a miniskirt, a tight tank top that said in logo 'Just do it' with a middle finger above the sign with a pair of pink-tinted sunglasses. She then walked over to the group and spoke to them.
"Well, if it isn't Two-Hands. My, you're drinking the cheap shit again, are you? Business ain't so good lately?"
"Eda! What the fuck?!"
Questioned Revy.
"Eda, fancy seeing you in that out
"Well, well. I see you brought Romeo with you. Hi there Leon! How you been? Why don't you ditch this wild boar and come drink with the real woman, baby?"
Eda said in seductive way as she crosses her legs in a sexy way, making Revy jealous.
"I know your night's not complete 'til you're getting banged by a stranger. Fuck off!"
Said Revy angry.
"Ooh, scary. Hear that, Romeo? You never know when she's on the rag. She's pretty irregular. But I've already tested the goods, Two-Hands."
With that comment, Revy's blood starts to boil as she was about to attack the nun.
"You asked for it, bitch! Let's step outside, you and me!"
"Don't get your panties in a twist, Two-Hands. I didn't come here to pick a fight with you. I've got a story that might interest you. One that might be worth some money."
"You're talking about this bounty, right?"
Mao guessed.
"You heard?"
"Actually, Revy and I were just talking about that. I doubt there's anyone left in the city who doesn't know 'bout it."
"Hah, well, that sucks. But at least I don't have to waste time explaining it. So what the hell are we waiting for? Let's go get it. Some of the eager ones have already started, you know? It goes without saying the mafia are gonna be involved, but there are freelancers coming too. From what I hear, the Yun brothers, Big One Emilio, Ronny CK."
"Fuck me. It's like assassin Olympics."
Said Mao.
"Yeah, and that's not all."
Said Eda as she continued.
"Green Tooth Johnny, for example. What a joke that guy is. I mean, he actually came and ordered an elephant gun from us. Heh. I dunno what the hell he was thinking."
"Someone must've told him he's up against a dinosaur or somethin'." Said Revy. "If he uses that, he'll be scraping this guy off the fuckin' ceiling."
"Better get our asses in gear if we want a chance at that money. Fifty grand is too much to ignore."
"Yeah, no shit. So haven't you got any other information, Eda?"
"There's one thing I just heard."
"Hmm?"
"Early this morning, the Caribbean Bar on Buran Street was completely destroyed. And I hear that Hotel Moscow is ready for war. I guess a collector of theirs was killed, so Fry Face is pissed."
