Chapter 259: One Shadow Nine Fist''s Meeting


    "Don''t worry it''s not charity. I am sure Niijima has already brought you into Shinpaku Alliance and would like to use you to increase the influence of it in European countries. In reality, I would like you to be free but for that, you need money, influence, and intelligence..." Kenichi stated


    "Kenichi is right! As you are right now, you need all those things that''s why I wanted you to join The Shinpaku Alliance so that we could help each other. Now Kenichi is providing the money, I will use my intelligence to help you in generating the influence making sure no one can easily touch you." Niijima said with a nasty smirk.


    "And even if that is not enough then you can alwayse back to us, we will be there to help you no matter what!" Kenichi added


    Hearing those words Spartacus and his brothers and sister''s eyes were wet. They never thought that they would meet anyone who will think about them other than they themselves.


    "We can''t even begin to tell you how grateful we are Kenichi! Niijima! right now all I can say is Thank You! But whenever you need my help all you have to do is call us and we will help you" Spartacus stated while his brothers and sisters behind him nodded their head with wet eyes and serious expressions.


    "Hi hi now let''s go board the ship with others," Kenichi said as he turned his head only to find that none of his friends have boarded the ship yet and we''re all looking in the other direction with interest.


    Kenichi turned his head to look in the direction as the others only to find Sakaki talking with Jennifer about something.


    After making sure that Jennifer won''t kill Fortuna on their way back to SHIELD''s base he turned back to leave, he felt a tug on his jacket. Turning back he found Jennifer holding onto his jacket.


    "What is it Jenny?" asked Sakaki in slight confusion.


    Jennifer remembered her talk with Kenichist night and took a deep breath then motioned Sakaki to lean down, putting her hand up and cupping it over her mouth as if to whisper to his ear. Sakaki naively obeyed, thinking she wanted to say something. In the manga, because there wasn''t anyone to support Jennifer she didn''t press on her love for him but now that Kenichi has said so many things to her how can she easily let go of her love without fighting for it.


    The moment Sakaki leans down, Jennifer quickly wrapped her hands around Sakaki''s head, straightened it out, and nted a big kiss right into Sakaki''s lips.


    Multiple jaws dropped in the background including Akisame and Kensei as everyone stared at the scene in shock. Miu couldn''t resist raising her hand to her chest with her fingers forming a triangle with a heart suddenly appearing within the said triangle.


    "There now I have marked you. Don''t you dare think about any other woman! I will riddle you with bullets" dered Jennifer as she finally let go. Sakaki obviously could have broken out of the embrace, but he had been too shocked by Jennifer''s daring kiss to even move.


    Not waiting for Sakaki''s reply Jennifer board her ship which had Fortuna locked in somewhere along with his soldiers and left the ind.


    Seeing that they were the only ones left Elder Hayato told everyone to board the ship so that everyone could leave the ind.

    Next day


    In a dark room, all of Nine Shadow One Fist were standing there in person, a very rare urrence to ever happen in YAMI.


    "Report" boomed One Shadow''s voice, who was Senzui currently disguised as Saiga.


    In front of them were the YOMI members who had attended the DOFD, kneeling in respect. Well, most were, as no one knows that Ryuto was already good enough to do such thing they didn''t point him out when he was sitting in his wheelchair. On the side standing in attendance were Satomi with his two female bodyguards/friends and Chou Enshin.


    "We witnessed Ryozanpaku''s disciple Kenichi Shirahama''s fight in the tournament, observing his movements. As ordered by our masters, we" started Sho before pointing to himself, Chikage, Tirawit, Ryuto, Boris, and Rimi, "Did not participate in the tournament. Ethan and Rachel were unable to fight Kenichi due to the sudden raid."


    Akira Hongo nodded, secretly pleased that his disciple could actually follow orders. He was sure that Sho would have gone and taken one of the team''s cement just to fight if he had not given expressed orders. (Oh how right he was!)


    "And?" asked Senzui "Last time when he was on Ogata''s ship he didn''t fight you all directly but was still able to easily get away from you, which showed that he was at least at your level or above but Ogata''s report from the first time encountering Ryozanpaku''s disciple, he rated that it would take several of YOMI''s members to match him. In your opinion, how would you rate this Shirahama Kenichi and his skills?"


    Sho suddenly looked ufortable after hearing this question, which was noticed by all of them. Boris, Ethan, Rachel, Chikage, and Tirawit couldn''t help but express pity at Sho''s current situation.


    "He''s....strong?" said Sho.


    Hongo raised his eyebrows as he pushed his sunsses up, even though they were in a dark room with barely any light. Why he wore sunsses indoors was a mystery, but that wasn''t the topic.


    "Sho. If you were to fight Shirahama Kenichi at your current state, would you win?" asked Hongo directly.


    Sho''s eyes swiveled to his master who was giving him a firm but gentle gesture to have Sho speak his mind without reprimand.


    "If Shirahama Kenichi and I Kano Shi, the current leader of YOMi and disciple to all 10 masters of YAMI, the primary disciple of Akira Hongo, known as god Hand, were to fight at 100% of our abilities... I would lose ...d..definitely" conceded Sho almost unable to say thest part.


    That caused a slight uproar to everyone in the One Shadow Nine fist, excluding Ogata, Diego, and Jenazad. Satomi and the others in observation looked at Sho in surprise at the statement. There was no doubt in their mind that Sho was cocky. He hated to lose or admit defeat. Though he definitely had the skills t back up his talk. Sho was from the Kuremisage vige, the same as the twins and Senzui, and was regarded as one of the strongest in Yami.


    Someone who could make Sho utter those words wasn''t to be taken lightly.
