Chapter 27: Cutting Down Kingpin and an Arm
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Leo Bright dashed forward, smoke billowing behind him.
A massive cloud of smoke layered upon itself, obscuring the stars above.
"Swish."
"Swish."
Several bat-shaped darts sliced through the smoke, aimed directly at Kingpin.
Despite his massive, titan-like build, Kingpin's reaction speed was surprising. Without dodging, he simply smashed the incoming bat dart with his fist.
"Clang!"
The collision of fist and dart resonated like a metallic symphony.
Leo's eyes widened. This guy's physical defense was formidable.
A shadow emerged from the smoke. Leo, having waited patiently, seized the moment as Kingpin focused on the dart. He swung his steel-cutting knife, using his momentum and the force of his descent to strike at Kingpin.
"Swish."
Kingpin sidestepped, and Leo's blade barely grazed the corner of his suit.
"You're almost fast enough, little guy," Kingpin sneered, a cruel smile on his face.
"Let me show you real speed!"
In an instant, Kingpin transformed into a charging bull, swinging his iron fists at Leo. The air seemed to vibrate with the force of his blows, accompanied by a roaring sound.
Leo's concentration sharpened. Blood-red seeped into his vision as Kingpin's movements slowed before him. A tingling sensation ran up his spine, signaling danger.
His beast instincts kicked in!
Every muscle in Leo's body activated to its fullest potential, allowing him to deftly evade Kingpin's powerful punches.
He lifted his leg and kicked Kingpin's chin.
"Bang."
The sheer force sent Kingpin reeling backward.
However, just ten centimeters from the ground, Kingpin sprang up in a way no human should, spitting blood and glaring at Leo.
His teeth, the weakest point, had been targeted.
Now, he was furious.
He became a rampaging gorilla, moving swiftly, delivering blow after blow at Leo.
Leo evaded with precision.
Though Kingpin's attacks were fierce and rapid, Leo's Sharingan slowed them down, and his beast perception guided his body to dodge each strike.
Yet, when it came to physical strength, Leo was no match for the terrifying giant.
While Leo's eyes could pinpoint Kingpin's weaknesses and guide him to them repeatedly,
His body could only dodge without the energy to counterattack.
Unless he abandoned defense entirely!
But his body couldn't withstand even one of Kingpin's ferocious punches.
A single blow could leave him spitting blood and unable to fight back!
Leo remained intensely focused.
His mind raced, calculating the precise moment to strike while evading.
The skirmish dragged on for several minutes.
Kingpin smashed through countless obstacles, but couldn't touch Leo.
"You slippery little eel!" Kingpin roared in frustration as another punch missed, cracking the concrete beneath.
"Damn it, mocking me is unforgivable! I'll kill you!"
Kingpin bellowed, mouth wide, delivering a powerful punch at Leo.
"Now's the time!"
"Barrier!"
"Rashomon!"
A steel door materialized before Leo.
A thunderous impact followed, leaving a deep fist mark on the steel.
In a flash, Leo sidestepped, slipping through the door, appearing behind Kingpin like a phantom.
A flawless counter!
"@##￥@#!!"
Leo's steel-cutting knife plunged into Kingpin's side, the sharp blade slicing through bone, blood spraying.
Kingpin's arm was severed and flung far away.
Blood splattered over Leo.
"@#￥##@" Kingpin's face contorted in agony, but his mouth was sealed tight, unable to scream.
"Boss Kingpin!!" The bodyguards, witnessing the scene, raised their M416 rifles.
Gunfire erupted.
A line of bullets shot toward Leo.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
Leo was prepared, the bullets embedding themselves a meter away, suspended in mid-air.
Layers of tempered glass doors surrounded Leo, forming an impenetrable barrier.
"Whoosh!"
Arrows whizzed from afar, and Hawkeye emerged, disheveled.
Something glistened on him.
A golden "K"!
It tore through Hawkeye's nanosuit, embedding in his right arm, blood oozing.
The silence lifted, and Kingpin roared.
He grabbed his dark golden cane, firing lasers at Leo. When that failed, he pressed a button.
Black smoke billowed from the cane.
Using the cover, Kingpin fled.
Leo dispelled his barrier, ready to pursue, but his instincts urged him to retreat.
"Argh..."
The dozen men in black who inhaled the smoke collapsed, foaming at the mouth, their bodies disintegrating into puddles.
"The smoke is toxic."
"His cane can emit lasers too."
Leo's forehead was damp with sweat. That was close! He almost charged in blindly.
Regrettably,
Kingpin got away!
Leo scanned the port and noticed Daredevil was in a dire situation. Without hesitation, he moved to assist.
...
It was a night stained with blood.
The harbor littered with gang members' bodies.
Even Daredevil, who prided himself on not killing, had accidentally slain two attackers in self-defense.
Hawkeye approached, injured.
In his left hand, he clutched Bullseye's half-destroyed insignia.
"Kingpin escaped, but I cut off his arm," Leo stated, dealing with the unconscious thugs Daredevil had left behind.
He was less merciful, driving his blade repeatedly into their hearts, his steel-cutting knife drenched in crimson.
Daredevil seemed to want to speak, but remained silent.
He knew he had no right to criticize...
